The Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Guling Dynasty? Ji Lingxue!

Inside a luxurious room of the Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce, Lin Mo sat cross-legged.

He was not Cultivating, but merely waiting quietly.

That manager had sworn that there would be a reply within a day.

He wanted to see what kind of divine being was hidden behind the Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce, daring to boast such a claim.

Time flowed by, minute by minute.

The room was silent, with only the wisps of incense smoke rising.

Finally, after almost a day, a gentle knock sounded on the closed door.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and the same manager from before walked in, his face beaming, his posture even more respectful than any time before.

"Senior, you've waited long."

Lin Mo did not focus his attention on him, but looked at the person beside him.

That was a woman dressed in an elegant palace gown, looking about forty years old, her aura as solid as a mountain.

A Golden Core True Person!

Moreover, she was not someone who had just entered the Golden Core stage.

Lin Mo instantly made a judgment, feeling a slight surprise in his Heart-Nature.

As he observed her, the woman in the palace gown was also observing him.

When she clearly saw Lin Mo's excessively young face, she too couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment.

This was the expert Young Miss wanted to personally win over?

He was a bit too young.

However, she did not feel any disdain because of this.

Simply because, from this young man in front of her, she sensed an extremely dangerous aura,

Like a peerless fierce sword hidden in its sheath, once unsheathed, it would surely shake the heavens.

It made her feel extremely uneasy.

As a Golden Core sixth-stage expert herself, she was considered a notable figure throughout the Ancient Spirit Dynasty.

Therefore, the strength of an existence that could make her feel uneasy was absolutely beyond doubt.

"Your Excellency is the true person in charge of this Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Mo spoke first, breaking the silence.

Hearing the question, the woman in the palace gown showed a graceful, shallow smile and bowed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstands, I am merely acting on orders."

"The true person in charge is my Young Miss."

"May I ask Fellow Daoist to accompany me to meet my Young Miss?"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

When this woman mentioned that "Young Miss," the respect and conviction in her words were completely heartfelt.

Goodness.

To be able to make a Golden Core True Person willingly serve as a subordinate,

The "Young Miss" she spoke of must have a truly extraordinary identity!

Lin Mo's Heart-Nature immediately piqued with some interest.

He was not afraid of the other party playing any tricks and nodded very straightforwardly.

"Then please lead the way."

Under the guidance of the woman in the palace gown, Lin Mo passed through several hidden Formation Restrictions and arrived at the depths of a more elegant and luxurious courtyard.

Every plant, every tree, every brick, and every tile here exuded an indescribable nobility.

Finally, the woman stopped in front of an elegant pavilion and respectfully reported.

"Young Miss, the person has been brought."

"Let him in."

A clear and pleasant female voice came from inside the pavilion.

The woman opened the door and made a "please" gesture to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stepped in.

The interior of the pavilion was not extravagant but exuded refinement and elegance everywhere.

Behind a carved rosewood desk, a figure was seated.

And when he clearly saw that figure, even with Lin Mo's Heart-Nature, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It was a young girl who looked no older than twenty, dressed in a beautiful palace gown, with an unparalleled face and noble temperament, like the bright moon in the sky, making people dare not look directly at her.

But in stark contrast to this dignified and noble attire was her meticulously combed twin ponytail hairstyle,

Which hung leisurely on both sides of her shoulders, adding a touch of liveliness and contrast to her.

Nobility and playfulness, these two completely different temperaments, were perfectly in Fusion within her... "Uh... this attire is truly unique."

Looking at her twin ponytails,

Lin Mo couldn't help but comment in his Heart-Nature.

As Lin Mo observed her, the young girl was also observing him.

Seeing Lin Mo's true appearance, a faint, imperceptible glimmer flashed in her clear eyes.

She also hadn't expected that the mysterious expert who had annihilated the Black Fiend Sect with thunderous methods would be such a young person.

"Fellow Daoist, please sit."

The young girl raised her hand, signaling Lin Mo to sit in the opposite seat.

Lin Mo was not polite and sat down directly, asking straightforwardly: "Can the items on my list be obtained?"

"Difficult."

The young girl first uttered a word, and seeing Lin Mo seemed a little displeased, she changed her tone and continued.

"But, it's not without a way."

"As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to do me a favor, I will not only do my best to find all the Materials on the list for you, but also, I will not charge a single penny."

"Not a single penny?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo's reaction was not ecstasy, but an instant surge of vigilance in his Heart-Nature.

There was no such thing as a free lunch.

From the reaction of the previous manager, every one of the Materials on the list was priceless, and the price after collecting them all would definitely be an astronomical figure.

And this mysterious young girl in front of him said that as long as he did a favor, she would give them to him for free?

Then this favor was probably not just a big one.

It might be a huge trap, and he couldn't easily step into it!

Lin Mo remained calm, not agreeing immediately, but asked calmly: "What favor?"

The young girl hesitated for a moment but did not answer directly,

Instead, she asked a question that left Lin Mo a little confused.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of the current Ancient Spirit Dynasty?"

Lin Mo was stunned.

What about the Ancient Spirit Dynasty?

How would he know!

Half a month ago, he was just a Utility Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect who was about to be swept out the door,

He had not even left the Sect many times, and his understanding of the entire Cangxuan Great Realm was extremely limited.

Even now, he had only been to Tianyun City, and he really had no understanding of the vast Ancient Spirit Dynasty.

But these words naturally couldn't be spoken, otherwise wouldn't he seem like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world?

So, Lin Mo could only bite the bullet and vaguely prevaricate a few words.

"The Ancient Spirit Dynasty is prosperous, and the people live in peace and contentment, so it is naturally thriving and flourishing."

"..."

After hearing his words, the young girl opposite him fell into a long silence.

"What? Your Excellency thinks I'm wrong?"

Lin Mo noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

"Right, and not right."

The young girl sighed faintly.

"Fellow Daoist is unaware."

"The current Ancient Spirit Dynasty, on the surface, seems calm and peaceful, with a prosperous country and contented people, but in reality, it has long fallen into a dangerous situation of internal and external troubles. A slight carelessness could lead to its collapse."

The young girl's words were extremely solemn, not at all like she was joking.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"This, I did not know."

"Could it be that the favor Your Excellency wants me to do is related to this Ancient Spirit Dynasty?"

He asked tentatively.

"Indeed, it is related to the Ancient Spirit Dynasty."

The young girl nodded, then slowly stood up and bowed solemnly to Lin Mo.

"Let me reintroduce myself."

"My name is Ji Lingxue."

"Eldest Princess of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty."

Hearing the young girl reveal her identity, Lin Mo felt both surprised and that it was within reason.

From her innate noble temperament and the display that allowed a Golden Core True Person to willingly serve as a subordinate, he had guessed that she was either rich or noble.

He just hadn't expected her identity to be so prominent, the Eldest Princess of this vast Dynasty.

However, his Heart-Nature was not greatly affected.

With his current strength, even if the King of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty were present, it would be nothing, not enough to make him fear.

"Haha, I guessed your identity was extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be the Eldest Princess herself."

Lin Mo smiled indifferently.

"Now I understand why a mere Xuanxing Chamber of Commerce would have such a powerful intelligence System."

Seeing Lin Mo remain calm and composed after learning her identity, Ji Lingxue was not surprised.

After all, he was a terrifying existence who had mastered Sword Intent and could easily wipe out a cancerous growth like the Black Fiend Sect. His strength was absolutely top-tier throughout the entire Dynasty!

With such confidence, he naturally wouldn't fear her identity as an Eldest Princess.

"Alright, Your Highness, Eldest Princess."

"Tell me, what exactly is this favor you mentioned?"

Lin Mo waved his hand, not wanting to beat around the bush anymore.

Ji Lingxue looked at him deeply, seemingly making a final deliberation.

A moment later, she finally made up her mind.

"Since Fellow Daoist is so straightforward, I will no longer conceal it."

"I need you to accompany me into a Secret Realm and help me complete the trials within it!"

"Secret Realm?" Lin Mo's curiosity was piqued, "What is in that Secret Realm that makes you, the Eldest Princess, personally go, even at the cost of such a heavy promise?"

Ji Lingxue's red lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered four words.

And those four words seemed to carry a strange magic, causing the air in the entire room to solidify.

"The method... of the Imperial Dynasty!"
