340: Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce

After the transaction was completed, Sarn Ao immediately took Xu Qing to retrieve the goods. Powerful slaves like these were generally held in specially constructed prisons.

"Honored guest, these are the people you requested!"

Xu Qing and the two others arrived at a high platform. Below the platform, less than a hundred slaves were already prepared. Some of these slaves looked terrified, some numb, and some resentful...

"Not bad!"

Xu Qing scanned them, confirming that no tricks had been played. However, with Saen Palace's status, it wouldn't stoop to such low-level tactics.

"Honored guest, this storage ring contains the Talismans to control them. You only need to drip blood on them to use them. If they try to betray their master, a single thought from you can make them suffer unbearable pain, or even cause their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

Sarn Ao handed a storage ring to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took it, then waved his hand, and all the slaves below were, without warning, taken into his sleeve.

Sarn Ao's eyes changed. Xu Qing's sleeve-dimension technique astonished him.

One must know that the strongest person below was a Half-Step Dao Lord. Unless they willingly complied, even beings of the same Realm would find it difficult to draw them into a dimension.

But Xu Qing did it so effortlessly, which meant he could only be a being in the Dao Lord Realm or above.

In an instant, Sarn Ao's gaze became even more respectful.

Even in the Kase Heaven Realm, the number of Dao Lord Realm cultivators was only a little over a hundred thousand. While seemingly many, when distributed among the three thousand Dao Provinces, each province had only about 33 people.

Taking his Saen Family as an example, there were only eight Dao Lord Realm cultivators. Therefore, when Xu Qing displayed his strength, Sarn Ao elevated Xu Qing's status to an extremely high level.

"Manager Sa'en, I'll take my leave!"

Xu Qing said with a smile.

"I'll see you out!"

Sarn Ao quickly said, fawningly.

This sudden change in attitude made Qing Niang stare blankly, as her Cultivation Realm naturally prevented her from understanding the intricacies of the situation.

However, thinking of her commission this time, the smile on Qing Niang's face deepened.

Before long, Xu Qing left Saen Palace amidst Sarn Ao's enthusiastic smiles. Before leaving, he also received a VIP token from the Saen Family, which granted a 30% discount at all Saen Family establishments.

"Qing Niang!"

After seeing Xu Qing off, Sarn Ao put away his smile and said.

"This servant is here!"

Qing Niang quickly curtsied and said.

"Counter No. 21 is short of a manager. You will take up that post!"

Sarn Ao said with a smile.

Qing Niang was surprised, then overjoyed, and quickly bowed in thanks: "Qing Niang thanks Manager for the promotion!"

Within Saen Palace, while there were many managers, the most lucrative positions were the hundred counters. These hundred counters were divided among the ten major managers, and Sarn Ao oversaw counters twenty-one to thirty.

These hundred counters were responsible for receiving and selling slaves, with the highest authority to sell Middle Stage Dao Severing slaves. If managed properly, the profits from these counters would be enough for Qing Niang to make a fortune.

Sarn Ao waved his hand. His actions naturally had his own considerations. He didn't know if Xu Qing would seek out Qing Niang next time. If he didn't, it was just a manager position, and he didn't care.

But if he did seek out Qing Niang, then his move would have been correct, after all, the other party was a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign.

At this moment, Xu Qing had already returned to Bao Dan Pavilion.

"Boom!!!"

With a wave of his hand, Xu Qing opened a passage, then sent a message into it.

A moment later, a tall, spirited middle-aged man walked out.

"Xu Song greets Clan Chief!"

Seeing Xu Qing, the middle-aged man quickly bowed.

"Uncle Song, no need for formalities. I'll need your help next!"

Xu Qing said with a joyful expression.

The person who came was none other than Xu Song, the Hall Master of the Xu Family's External Affairs Hall. Xu Qing naturally wouldn't engage in business himself, and in the future, Xu Qing's enterprises in the Ancient Land of Dao would only grow larger, so he naturally needed trusted confidants to manage them.

The Xu Clan members were undoubtedly the most suitable.

Although Xu Qing had been in seclusion for the past few years, he had continuously sent back a considerable amount of Cultivation. Now, Xu Song's Cultivation had already reached Late Stage Dao Lord, a combat power sufficient to handle most issues within the Royal City.

"Clan Chief, what is it that you summoned me for?"

After the two sat down, Xu Song asked.

"My Cultivation requires a large number of Heaven And Earth Treasures. My own strength is ultimately limited, and I'm not very good at business, so I need Uncle Song to help me!"

Xu Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Song's expression became serious. Xu Qing was the creator of the entire Xu Family, and his affairs were the great affairs of the entire Xu Family. Therefore, upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Xu Song's expression immediately turned solemn.

"Clan Chief, to what Realm have you Cultivated now?"

Xu Song couldn't discern Xu Qing's Realm. He only felt that Xu Qing was sitting in front of him, yet it was as if there were many mysteries separating them, making him unable to see through him.

"Early Stage Dao Lord!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Song's expression brightened with joy. The Xu Family was no longer the small domain Family of the past. They already knew many things about the Upper Realm, and naturally understood what kind of Realm a Dao Lord was.

Legend has it that a single Dao Lord could make their subordinate power Immortal Grade, truly stand at the pinnacle of the Ancient Land of Dao, and become a Supreme Power dominating one side.

The Cangwu Dao Academy existed for so long precisely because it had an Immortal Grade existence, allowing it to stand immortal and continue. He never expected his own Family to reach this point in just a few short years.

For a moment, Xu Song's entire being was filled with excitement. He thought that if this news were sent back, the Family would undoubtedly be in an uproar.

But then, he frowned, feeling the heavy burden on his shoulders. Xu Qing was already a Dao Lord, so the items he needed would undoubtedly be of the Immortal Dao medicine level. Such Heaven And Earth Treasures were not easy to acquire.

As if seeing Xu Song's concerns, Xu Qing smiled.

"Uncle Song, my Cultivation is special, so I don't necessarily need Immortal Grade Heaven And Earth Treasures. Even Emperor-grade medicines are of great use to me. It's just that at my Realm, the resources required are enormous, so your burden will not be light."

What Xu Qing wanted were family points. Therefore, even if it was Emperor-grade or even Saint-grade medicine, it didn't matter to him. With family points, he could exchange for Hongmeng Primordial Qi and Cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Song said seriously: "Clan Chief, rest assured, I will not let the Clan Chief lack resources!"

"Good!" Xu Qing nodded with a smile, then took out a token and handed it to Xu Song.

Xu Song was puzzled: "Clan Chief, this is?"

"This token contains a Small World, with Chaos Spirit Crystals, Chaos Origin Crystals, and even Chaos Profound Crystal ore veins. In addition, there are many Emperor-grade and Dao-Grade Heaven And Earth Treasures. This will be the capital for the merchant guild."

Upon hearing this, Xu Song solemnly accepted it.

"Clan Chief, I want to dispatch a group of people from the Family to help me!"

Xu Qing naturally agreed, saying: "Good! However, we are in the Land of Ten Thousand Races, so it's not advisable to have too many people. Just bring some Disciples with business talent. As for daily guards and such..."

Xu Qing waved his hand, and the slaves from before appeared in the courtyard.

At this moment, even those who were resentful were filled with panic upon seeing Xu Qing, especially the two Half-Step Dao Lords.

"These people are the slaves I bought. From now on, they will be handled by you. Of course, once they join the merchant guild, they are no longer slaves. Pay them normal salaries, and if there are good prospects among them, you can promote them appropriately."

While explaining, Xu Qing taught Xu Song the Talismans that controlled them, and the latter readily accepted.

After all, the foundation of these people in front of him was much stronger than those from the Lower Realm.

Xu Qing also refined some jade Talismans that could suppress the Human Race's aura and gave them to Xu Song, so that the clan members could act in Kase Royal City later.

After giving some more instructions, he fully entrusted the place to Xu Song for management.

Xu Qing himself left Kase Royal City. Having successfully made a Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm as he wished, he also needed to deal with some matters.

And on the second day after Xu Qing left, a merchant guild named Xuanhuang Merchant Guild officially opened in the city...
