My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 99 Business Opportunities
Si Houqing's words made Shen Changchuan realize something for a moment.

At the same time, one can't help but feel emotional.

The other party's business acumen is indeed remarkable.

This is indeed a great business opportunity!

It should be noted that there are no markets or settlements in the nearby desolate borderlands.

To conduct a transaction,

Either go to Wujiaji on the market day after the annual harvest of Linggu,
Alternatively, one could travel to Qingcheng, a thousand miles away.

A distance of thousands of miles,

For cultivators at the Qi Refining stage who cannot fly, this is by no means close.

Even if a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining travels at full speed without regard for anything else, it would still take about ten days for them to make the round trip.

After all, people need to rest; they can't use magic to travel all the time.

Furthermore, there is a risk of being attacked by monsters and raided along the way, so one must remain vigilant to prevent accidents.

It takes more than ten days to travel back and forth.

This is obviously very inconvenient.

At the same time, it delayed things too much.

If they were to go to Qingcheng to sell their spoils and resupply, and someone else discovered the great secret about Biyuan Water Grass and got there first...

Wouldn't they have made a wasted trip?!

The cultivators from outside the mountains who ventured into the mountains did not merely focus on the elusive rumors of the Azure Essence Water Grass.

For most independent cultivators...

Although they secretly hoped to find some trace of Biyuan waterweed and become rich overnight.

However, if they encounter a monster they can kill along the way, or see rare and precious treasures, they would never hesitate to stop and take the benefits for themselves.

And this desolate land

Although not very wealthy

However, for many years it has been a remote place where few cultivators have come. Many places have never been developed or explored, and there are many rare and precious natural treasures there.

This means that in the near future, there will be a large output of natural and precious materials for sale.

The urgent need for a trading market
It's almost obvious!

at this time,
The Sanhe Chamber of Commerce set up a temporary trading point in this desolate place.
If they can hold onto this business,
Shen Changchuan could guess how much profit the other party would gain next!
"Why would Manager Si choose a young man? Wouldn't it be better to go to a place like Wujiaji? At least there's the infrastructure from previous years' market days, and it's much safer."

Faced with the demands made by Si Houqing,

Shen Changchuan did not agree immediately.

He pondered to himself, and at the same time asked a question.

"Young friend Shen, I have no choice but to do this."

Si Houqing gave a bitter smile.

"Since the incident that day, Wujiaji has been completely closed off. Even the Wu family's former relatives and allies can hardly enter, let alone business people like us."

Perhaps this incident was simply too big.

Even now, no one from the Wu family has shown their face.

So much so that now, two or three months later, some comments have started to emerge saying that in the huge upheaval that night, the head of the Wu family, Wu Yuanzhi, had actually been killed by someone using some means.

Their family's original ancestor, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, also perished.

Otherwise, why would they be so cowardly as to hide their heads and not dare to show themselves?

Undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.

But the Wu family remained unmoved, showing no reaction whatsoever, and kept the area completely sealed off, with even family members not venturing out.

It is said that some impatient individuals even joined forces to launch a night raid on Wujiaji.

Of course, the result was like a stone thrown into the sea; it is said that after secretly breaking into Wujiaji, he disappeared without a trace and never came out again.

Amidst all this commotion...

How could Si Houqing possibly have the ability to open a chamber of commerce in Wujiaji?

Do you really think he doesn't want to?
Putting everything else aside, just having two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators guarding the area greatly increases the safety factor!

But unfortunately, that's not possible.

Can't do it at all.

Left with no other choice, Si Houqing had to turn his attention elsewhere.

at this time,
Shen Changchuan's village, Dawancun, naturally came into his view.

Whether Dawancun's location is good or bad is not important.

It is important that

The great banner of the Tiannan Shen clan above Dawancun and Shen Changchuan!
at this point,
Its deterrent power may even be no less than that of the Wu family in Wujiaji under certain circumstances!
"Manager Si, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, but this matter might be a bit difficult to handle."

Shen Changchuan pondered for a long time,

He couldn't help but carefully consider his words.

If a business were to set up shop here, it would attract many customers and boost trade.

However, it will also certainly bring a lot of trouble.

There are many people.

It will become chaotic.

It might even bring about some unpredictable dangers.

And I don't have the power to suppress everything.

For him,

It's not a good thing.

and,

Next, he will attempt to reach the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

I really don't want to manage those miscellaneous tasks.

After considering many factors,

Shen Changchuan was not very supportive of this.

immediately,

After a friendly negotiation,

Shen Changchuan ultimately decided to welcome Si Houqing's Sanhe Chamber of Commerce to set up shop and do business with the outside independent cultivators.

He originally intended to refuse.

But Si Houqing gave far too much.

Do not,
It was because Si Houqing and his friendship were too deep.
So much so that those minor problems are no big deal!

not to mention,
It would be good to let the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce set up shop and do business, and to let outside cultivators come to trade.

He happened to need to find out the latest news and progress for Shen Tingchu.

The presence of more outsiders made it easier for him to gather information.

He did all this for the public good.

It wasn't for Si Houqing's 3,500 spirit stones in rent, or any other preferential conditions.

After another good exchange.

Ultimately, Shen Changchuan designated an area in the east of the village, near the main gate of the eastern city wall, a relatively remote area from the village's residential center, as the location for the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, the surrounding area will also be developed into temporary residential areas.

It provides temporary accommodation for members of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce and independent practitioners from outside.

Unfortunately, the village doesn't have any local specialties.

Unable to further develop the commerce in their own village,

But there's nothing we can do about it.
That's fine.

As for the residents in that area, they will relocate to other nearby places afterward.

Shen Changchuan planned to follow the example of Wujiaji and separate the area where cultivators traveled and traded from the area for mortals.

This will save the cultivators and mortals from living together and causing all sorts of troubles, and will also save time and effort in managing them.

no way,
This concerns the benefit of three thousand five hundred spirit stones.

This is a benefit that the entire Dawan Village might not be able to obtain even after ten years of operation.

Even the spirit stones in the storage bags of the Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivators that Shen Changchuan had killed were far less than this number.

That's a huge sum of money!
Even if it's a little tiring,
That's worth it.
