92: Chapter 92 Monster Egg

Most Cultivators are inherently cold-natured, especially when facing Cultivators of a lower Realm; their attitude is as if they are facing a lower-tier species, never truly acknowledging the other party.

Therefore, Chen Hao's friendly demeanor instinctively made Su Yang wary.

"I did indeed obtain a Beast Taming Inheritance from the Fang Family."

Su Yang immediately took out the Jade Slip: "This is a copy of the Beast Taming Inheritance. It is a free gift for the Senior."

Unexpectedly, Chen Hao frowned: "I said I would not resort to forceful seizure. Name your price."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Su Yang was surprised and tentatively asked: "Is Senior a Beast Tamer?"

"That's right. Hurry up now."

Chen Hao nodded, his tone somewhat impatient.

Su Yang thought for a moment and said: "Does Senior happen to have any flying Yao Beast hatchlings?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao lightly tapped the bag at his waist.

Three cyan Yao Beast eggs, each the size of a human head, quickly flew in front of Su Yang, and then spiritual energy swept up the Jade Slip he offered.

Having completed everything, he turned and left without saying another superfluous word.

Su Yang stared blankly at the three Yao Beast eggs before him, his mind unable to process the situation immediately.

Was it truly just an open and honest transaction?

Did such people still exist in the current Cultivation World? A Foundation Establishment Cultivator was willing to trade fairly with a mere Qi Refining ant!

Su Yang couldn't help but judge a gentleman by the standard of a petty person, meticulously inspecting the Yao Beast eggs several times. No matter what method he used to investigate, there were no issues with the three eggs before him.

"It looks like they are avian Yao Beasts possessing the Azure Luan Bloodline."

Su Yang understood Yao Beasts quite well and could roughly identify the species inside the eggs. There were many Yao Beasts with the Azure Luan Bloodline, but virtually none that could achieve ancestral reversion.

He didn't demand that these three Yao Beasts achieve Bloodline Ancestral Reversion; just raising them would benefit the Family.

The task Su Xuanling had assigned him was unexpectedly completed, and he even saved a sum of money for the purchase.

Giving away the Beast Taming Inheritance caused no loss to the Su Family, and Su Yang had never intended to monopolize this Legacy. After all, the Yuling Sect had not been destroyed; it was just extremely far away from the Great Wei.

Su Yang took out the Spirit Beast Bag he had prepared in advance and placed the three Yao Beast eggs inside.

A moment later, Su Xuanheng and Song Baiqing returned together, handing over all the plundered resources.

After a simple tally of the resources from the two families, Su Yang admitted it was less than anticipated. The foundations of two Seventh Grade Qi Refining Families combined were actually not as rich as the Su Family's.

"The land and shops belonging to the Fang and Zhong Families will both be used to establish the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce."

Su Yang said to Song Baiqing: "I need you all to remain here for a period. Once Su Xuanming arrives to take over, you may then return to the Su Family."

"I will hire Cultivators to demolish all the existing structures here and rebuild them according to the specifications of the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce. You do not need to worry about these miscellaneous matters."

Song Baiqing and the others bowed respectfully in acknowledgment.

Seeing that the local affairs were settled, Su Yang delayed no longer and turned to head towards the Yunshou Alliance.

Following the prior agreement, he allocated two-tenths of the properties acquired from the Fang and Zhong Families to Alliance Leader Situ Yu.

Afterward, Su Yang found several Cultivators specializing in Craftsmanship in the Yunmeng Ruins, handed them the blueprints for the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce designed by Su Xuanming, and then returned to the Family with Su Xuanheng and the other two.

...

After eliminating the Fang and Zhong Families, the Su Family could finally develop peacefully, and the following days were exceptionally calm.

The Su Clan Chamber of Commerce successfully established itself in the Yunmeng Ruins, opening a Drunken Immortal Tower whose business flourished remarkably.

A small auction was even held inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, with a Low Grade foundation establishment pill as the grand finale item, successfully making the name of the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce known.

The establishment of the Qingyuan Market proceeded rapidly, becoming one of the few sanctuaries during the chaotic era, with the number of Mortals and Cultivators flocking to Qingyuan for refuge increasing daily.

It is worth mentioning that after leaving the Su Family, Liu Mo and the others turned around and joined the Jiang Family.

Their status as Sword Cultivators made them highly valued in the Jiang Family, and they became Guest Elders of the Jiang Family.

However, as far as Su Yang understood, the rules for Guest Elders in the Jiang Family were essentially no different from those for servants; they were required to obey the Jiang Family's directives, with the title merely sounding better.

Jiang Wuyu's side remained unusually quiet. After Su Xuanming secretly spread the news, he had visited the Su Family several times to probe Su Yang's attitude, and then vanished without a trace.

Time flew by quickly, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.

The conflict between the two nations intensified, affecting countless cities. The Great Qi army advanced like a mighty torrent, forcing the Great Wei into continuous retreats.

The flames of war spread and consumed the entire Great Wei like a plague, leaving behind widespread misery.

Formerly prosperous streets transformed into bloody slaughterhouses, with corpses piled high and uncollected. Displaced Mortals, dragging their families, arrived at the nascent Qingyuan Market, begging door-to-door for shelter.

The Su Family occupied a large area of land in Qingyuan, becoming the primary target for refugees.

Any person capable of laboring and who had committed no crimes was accepted by the Su Family if they had the capacity to do so.

Inside the Su Family's inner courtyard at this moment, two Spiritual Qi fluctuations of differing strengths emanated almost simultaneously from two separate rooms.

One fluctuation indicated that Su Xuanling had successfully condensed a True Spiritual Root and achieved Qi Induction in one go, officially stepping into the Qi Refining First Layer.

The other, slightly weaker fluctuation, came from a three-year-old girl; she had diligently meditated for over a month and also achieved Qi Induction today.

Above the Pavilion Lake, Qin Jiangmei, who was playing the zither, paused her fingers briefly. As the melody flowed, she keenly captured these two newly emerging Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

A gentle smile touched the corner of her lips, and she softly murmured, "Ling'er and Shu Lan have both embarked on the path of cultivation."

Su Yang's face held a hint of teasing amusement, "Ji Ya is benefiting from his daughter's success, isn't he?"

Ji Ya possessed excellent commercial talent and management skills, but as a Mortal, he could not enter the Cultivation Market, and his limited lifespan and energy meant he was destined not to serve a Cultivation Family for long.

However, his daughter, Ji Shulan, possessed a Spiritual Root, though it was unknown if she inherited her father's commercial talent.

The Su Family currently needed a Cultivator with business acumen. As the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce grew larger, relying solely on Su Xuanming was becoming increasingly difficult.

"Speaking of which, Xuanjing is also of marriageable age. Are there any suitable matches?" Su Yang suddenly asked.

The zither music abruptly stopped, and Qin Jiangmei seriously contemplated the question.

"Xuanjing seems somewhat resistant to marriage. She doesn't want to marry a strange man, but she looks down on the men within the Family. Moreover, she rarely interacts with outsiders, making it genuinely hard to find someone."

Qin Jiangmei shook her head helplessly: "Also, you insist that Su Family women do not marry out. Finding a Cultivator willing to marry into the Family is quite difficult. You two, father and daughter, are truly demanding to serve."

Su Yang pursed his lips upon hearing this.

Su Family women absolutely could not marry out. After all, considering the existence of the Su Clan Genealogy, letting any daughter marry away would be a significant loss for the Family.

"I think Zi Yao is about the same age as Xuanjing. What do you think about the possibility between them?"

Qin Jiangmei pondered for a moment, then shook her head again: "Zi Yao and Xuan Heng have a decent relationship, but his relationship with Xuanjing is rather ordinary. I don't think it will work out."

Although the two were close in age, they rarely interacted, making it unlikely for sparks to fly.

Forcing a match was undesirable, so Su Yang decided to set the matter aside for now and let nature take its course.
