27: Feiyun Chamber of Commerce

The streets of Qingyun Town were bustling with people and carriages, and the cries of vendors were endless.

At this moment, after Ling Feng emerged from Ling Zifan's courtyard, he and Ling Di headed straight out of the Ling Family Residence and walked onto the streets of Qingyun Town.

Watching the scenes unfold before him, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel very happy, as it had been a long time since he had left the Ling Family Residence.

However, his current outing was not purely for leisure; he intended to visit the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild to purchase a batch of Marrow Cleansing Pills and the Spirit Medicine needed to refine them.

The Flying Cloud Commerce Guild had always been rather mysterious; no one currently knew the extent of its power. It had branches throughout the continent, primarily engaged in commerce, possessing astonishing wealth. Yet, it had always maintained a neutral stance, never participating in any conflicts between the major powers.

Legend had it that a major power once attempted to seize a shipment from the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild, but just five days later, news spread that the entire sect of that power had been annihilated, with no survivors.

As soon as the news spread, it instantly shocked the entire continent, and all the powers that had previously coveted the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's goods quickly reined themselves in.

A moment later.

Ling Feng arrived in front of the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild, pausing to look at the four large characters, "Flying Cloud Commerce Guild," hanging above the main entrance. After only a brief stop, he led Ling Di directly into the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild.

As Ling Feng and his companions stepped through the guild's main entrance, a receptionist dressed in the uniform of the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild smiled and walked towards the two of them.

"Hello, honored guest, welcome to the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. Our guild deals in all sorts of Medicinal Pills, Spirit Medicine, Formations, Martial Skills, Cultivation Techniques, and Sharp Weapons. Do you have any specific needs?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng was momentarily stunned.

Indeed, Ling Feng had never once been to a place like the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. After all, his Cultivation talent had been extremely poor since childhood, and with many people in his Family, the monthly Spirit Stones were very limited. Even though his father and two older sisters doted on him exceptionally, the Spirit Stones he received were simply not enough to support spending at a place like the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild.

Furthermore, due to his inherent talent since childhood, he was extremely unwilling to go out for walks, let alone visit a high-traffic place like the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild.

Coming back to his senses, Ling Feng realized his impoliteness, then apologized to the receptionist and proceeded to ask.

"I need to buy quite a lot of things, so I'm afraid you can't make the decision. Is your Manager here?"

"To answer the guest, our Manager is here. Please wait a moment, I will go find Manager Wang."

The receptionist smiled and replied to Ling Feng, then turned and quickly departed.

Seeing this, Ling Feng paid no mind to the departing receptionist and began to stroll through the guild with Ling Di. On the first floor, various Medicinal Pills, Spirit Medicine, and weapons were displayed in the showcases. However, without exception, their grades were not very high.

A moment later, the young attendant who had greeted them earlier returned with a middle-aged man and walked directly towards Ling Feng and his companions.

"Manager Wang, this Young Master is looking for you."

"Hello, honored guest, this is Manager Wang of our Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. You can discuss whatever you need with Manager Wang."

The young attendant who had greeted them quickly stepped forward to introduce them.

Seeing this, Manager Wang waved his hand at the young attendant, signaling that he could leave for now.

The young attendant was also very perceptive; after bowing to the two of them, he promptly left.

At this moment, Manager Wang scrutinized Ling Feng and Ling Di, a hint of solemnity appearing between his brows.

In just a brief moment of contact, he sensed an aura of the Earth Martial Realm from within Ling Feng, similar to his own. As for Ling Di, who was following behind him, Manager Wang felt a strong aura of death from him.

"There's no mistake. This feeling is consistent with the feeling I get from Old Feng, who is by Young Miss's side, though not as intense. But he is definitely a Martial Artist above the Earth Martial Realm."

"Greetings, Manager Wang."

Ling Feng saw the middle-aged man who called himself Manager Wang observing him, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

Manager Wang knew his previous behavior had been impolite, so he quickly cupped his hands and responded with a smile.

"Young Master and Senior, how should I address you? My subordinate mentioned that the Young Master needs to purchase a large quantity. May I ask what Senior and Young Master require?"

Seeing that Manager Wang also mentioned him, Ling Di couldn't help but cup his hands in return, then spoke first.

"No need to ask me. You can discuss this matter with my Young Master. I am merely a guard by his side."

At the same time, Ling Feng heard this and said to Manager Wang with a smile.

"Manager Wang, to show our sincerity, I won't hide anything. I am Ling Feng, the current Clan Leader Ling of the Ling Family. I have come to your esteemed guild this time to purchase some Spirit Medicine and ready-made Medicinal Pills."

When Manager Wang finished listening to Ling Feng's words, he instantly froze in place, his face filled with disbelief.

Although the Feng Family had been annihilated a few days prior, there had been many rumors circulating in the market about the Ling Family having an Earth Martial Realm Martial Artist. At that time, the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild had discussed the matter, but since it had always maintained a neutral stance, and considering that Earth Martial Realm experts were present in every branch, they hadn't paid too much attention.

However, now that this Ling Family's suddenly appearing expert, who was suspected to be above the Earth Martial Realm, was merely a guard to the person before him, the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild had no choice but to take it seriously.

"I must quickly relay this news."

Coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but think to himself. On the surface, however, he responded calmly.

"I didn't realize it was Clan Leader Ling in person. Please forgive my oversight."

"Manager Wang is too courteous. This Clan Leader rarely leaves home, and I have only recently taken over Family affairs, so it's normal for Manager Wang not to know."

"Then, Clan Leader Ling, what kind of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine are you looking to purchase this time?"

Seeing this, Manager Wang returned to the main topic and asked.

"Manager Wang, you're not planning to have me stand here to discuss this business, are you?"

"Oh, my mistake, my mistake."

"Clan Leader Ling, please come this way. Let's discuss this further in a private room upstairs."

Hearing this, Manager Wang instantly realized his oversight, quickly apologized, then respectfully gestured to Ling Feng and Ling Di.

"Manager Wang, please!"

"Please!"
