I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 585 Cooperation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Danxi had already quietly scanned the surrounding sea with her divine sense, confirming that Jin Wanguan had come alone and that there was no murderous intent or aura of ambush on his body. Her tense body relaxed slightly, and she took a step forward, protecting the others behind her.

"You are a guest from afar. Please come to the island for a chat, Fellow Daoist Jin."

Jin Wanguan's smile remained unchanged, his body swayed slightly, and he landed on the reef island like a feather.

He scanned the crowd, his gaze lingering on Jiang Yi for a moment, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Her cultivation level had improved considerably compared to a few days ago, and there were still some remnants of the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation aura on her body, indicating that the thunder tribulation was indeed caused by her.

Is it her demon spirit?
Jin Wanguan composed himself and said, "I apologize for the intrusion of this old man."

Jiang Yi and the others clasped their hands in greeting and exchanged pleasantries.

Jin Wanguan changed the subject, "You gentlemen are gathered here now, presumably to discuss leaving the Floating Light Sea and returning to the Eastern Continent, right?"

Danxi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Jin Wanguan suppressed his smile slightly, "To be honest, if it weren't for my mediation, this place would have already been surrounded by the Poison Lord and Xue Nishang's men. Ling Wanhe of the Ling family gained nothing in the secret realm this time and even lost some face. He is still unwilling to accept this and is searching for your whereabouts everywhere."

"The Ling family wields some influence in the northern part of the Floating Light Sea, and they have already laid a tight net along several major shipping routes from the Floating Light Sea to the Eastern Continent. If you all want to leave this sea area quietly, I'm afraid... it won't be that easy."

Danxi frowned slightly; Jin Wanguan's words were indeed what she had been worried about.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, let's not beat around the bush. You've come all this way to inform me of this matter, so you must already have a plan in mind. If you have any ideas, please speak frankly."

Jin Wanguan resumed the gentle waving of his feather fan. "Fellow Daoist Danxi is straightforward! I am a businessman, and Jubaohang is founded on integrity. I value long-term benefits more than short-term gains. Since leaving the secret realm, I have specifically looked into information about Cangling Sect, especially about young friend Jiang. Your sect establishes itself by controlling demons, and young friend Jiang is a prodigy. Not only is his own cultivation outstanding, but the demon spirits around him also have boundless potential."

He stared intently at Jiang Yi.

"I have already investigated the cause and effect of the Northern Profound and Demonic Tide incident, and I have to plan ahead for the future of my Jubao Sect. Fellow Daoist Danxi and this Fellow Daoist Jiang were once the leaders of the Northern Profound Immortal Alliance and have considerable experience in fighting the Demonic Tide. I am also very optimistic about the future of the Cangling Sect, and even more optimistic about the prospects of the Demon-Controlling Path! The Floating Light Sea is a vast area, and cultivators frequently interact with demonic beasts and sea creatures. Now the Cangling Sect has a method to cultivate demonic beasts into demonic spirits."

"I am very interested in this. If my Jubao Trading Company could have a demon tamer like Young Friend Jiang to assist us in the future, we would surely be able to reach new heights. Therefore, Jubao Trading Company is willing to establish a long-term cooperation with Cangling Sect! In the future, all of Cangling Sect's demon-related businesses facing the Floating Light Sea can be fully undertaken and handled by my Jubao Trading Company! Of course, this requires Young Friend Jiang as a guarantor."

Danxi understood immediately; this old fox wanted to profit from the war.

If the future demonic tide cannot be stopped and reaches the Eastern Continent, it will prove that demonic spirits do have an advantage in fighting the demonic tide, and the value of demonic spirits will definitely rise.

To ensure their own safety, most cultivators, if they have the resources, would probably keep a demon spirit by their side.

The cultivators of Floating Light Sea are all independent cultivators, and they don't have so many sectarian prejudices. Unlike the cultivators of sects and families in the Eastern Continent, they don't adhere to so-called orthodoxy and are unwilling to accept new things.

Jin Wanguan was very astute in this regard and was willing to humble himself. Ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't personally invite a few juniors to discuss business.

Danxi glanced at Jiang Yi without showing any emotion.

Jiang Yi received her master's gaze, shrugged easily, and looked like she was saying, "Master, you decide what to do, I have no objection."

All she had to do was use her current identity as collateral; she didn't need to do anything specific, and she trusted her master to ensure she wouldn't suffer any losses.

Danxi felt reassured and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Fellow Daoist Jin has great foresight. This proposal does indeed have the potential for a win-win situation. However, the specific details, profit sharing, responsibilities, and guarantees... still need to be carefully considered." Jin Wanguan's eyes showed appreciation upon hearing this. He thought to himself, "As expected of someone who has served as the leader of the Northern Profound Immortal Alliance, his thinking is indeed thorough."

Danxi asked Jin Wanguan to go aside for a detailed discussion, then turned to Jiang Yurong and said, "Yurong, you should also come and discuss this with us."

Jin Wanguan smiled and said, "That's only right! Fellow Daoist Danxi, please."

The three moved to a huge reef not far away, and Danxi waved her hand to set up a soundproof barrier, a faint light screen enveloping the three of them.

Jiang Yi and Long Ri could only see them talking inside. Jin Wanguan would sometimes stroke his beard and nod, and sometimes lightly tap his feather fan, as if he were explaining something.

Danxi remained calm, occasionally raising questions.

Jiang Yurong mostly listened quietly, only occasionally saying a few words briefly, but every time she spoke, Jin Wanguan would look at her very seriously.

Jiang Yi asked Long Ri, "You were also once the Grand Elder of the Cangling Sect, why didn't my master invite you?"

Upon hearing this, Long Ri laughed awkwardly, "Haha, I'm just a figurehead. I've never had any opinions of my own. I just listen to whatever my senior sister says."

Time slips away quietly, the sea breeze blows gently, and the tide rises and falls.

It took a full hour for the soundproof barrier behind the reef to be removed.

Danxi wore a calm smile that suggested a consensus, Jiang Yurong remained aloof, while Jin Wanguan seemed exceptionally happy, even waving his feather fan more lightly than before.

"Haha, great! I had a very fruitful conversation with Fellow Daoist Danxi and Fellow Daoist Jiang! Jubaohang and Cangling Sect have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, which is a great thing that benefits both parties!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "As for your departure from the Floating Light Sea, leave it to me. I will personally escort you and ensure that you return to the Eastern Continent smoothly and safely!"

After the deal was settled, Jin Wanguan gave each of the four a set of clothes from Jubaohang to change into, and they concealed their auras and left the outer sea with him.

Upon arriving at Jin Yuan Island, we boarded Jin Wanguan's own private ship.

On the way, Jiang Yi did indeed sense several powerful auras locking onto them, but Jin Wanguan was currently the most powerful cultivator in the Floating Light Sea, and the Treasure Gathering Company was also full of talented people.

Those few auras followed them from a distance, but never dared to attack them directly.

The fact that Jin Wanguan did not use the escape light of the Nascent Soul stage to fly directly was because he intended to show that Danxi, Jiang Yi and the others were his friends, and to ask the various forces in the Floating Light Sea to give him face.

Moreover, Danxi and the others are guests, not fugitives. They can enter and leave Fuguanghai openly and honestly at any time in the future, without having to hide.

Furthermore, Jin Wanguan even took the initiative to have the Jubao Trading Company on each island along the way capture many common sea monsters in the Floating Light Sea and send them to them so that they could take them back for research.

Jiang Yi had to admit that Jin Wanguan was thorough in his work, giving both face and substance.

However, she couldn't be too stingy. Bored on the way, she decisively gave Jin Wanguan a set of mahjong tiles so that he could play with Danxi, Jiang Yurong, and Longri at a table to enhance their friendship.
