346: Lei Lin Dao Jin

The next day, the Second Young Master first went to Saen Palace. This did not attract the attention of others, as he inspects Saen Palace every month unless he is in seclusion, and this time was no exception.

Afterward, he and Sarn Ao disguised themselves, bypassed all eyes and ears, and arrived at Bao Dan Pavilion.

“Xuanhuang Merchant Guild?”

The continuous flow of people did not make the Second Young Master look sideways. At this moment, he was staring intently at the plaque, because these simple four characters revealed the intent of a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign, and there was a faint sensation of the sound of the Dao of the Blade echoing in his ears.

After a brief moment of distraction, the Second Young Master regained his composure. Such a Dao rhyme could probably only be sensed by those powerful cultivators whose Great Dao had reached Major Achievement or above at the King level.

He happened to be one of them, while Sarn Ao beside him was completely unaware. Although his cultivation was high, his Great Dao was only at the Minor Achievement King level.

His heart settled slightly. This alone confirmed Sarn Ao's guess: the owner of this place must be a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign.

“Two distinguished guests, what do you need? Whether it's Medicinal Pills or Dao Weapons, or even Dao Arts Immortal Scriptures, as long as the price is right, our Xuanhuang Merchant Guild can find it for you!”

Seeing the Second Young Master and his companion walk into the shop, a young man came up to them. The young man had a refined face and sparkling eyes, clearly a sharp individual.

The Second Young Master glanced at the young man and was startled. He found that the other party's bone age was extremely young, no more than ten thousand years old at most, and his cultivation had already reached the Dao Severing Realm.

Although the Emperor Realm is easy to Cultivate in the Ancient Land of Dao, and one can easily Breakthrough with enough resources, the Dao Severing Realm is not so easy to overcome.

After all, the Dao Severing Realm is not just about having resources; it requires severing the shackles of the Eternal Dao Realm. Without strong willpower and a Dao Heart, one cannot pass this stage. If one fails, it means the destruction of body and Dao.

Every year, countless beings in the Ancient Land of Dao prepare to Transcendent, but among billions of beings, not even one ultimately succeeds.

Many Prodigies lingered at this stage for a very long time. For example, he only took about a thousand years to Breakthrough to the Supreme Great Emperor, but this Dao Severing step took him more than a hundred thousand years to finally Breakthrough to the Dao Severing Realm.

And his elder brother also spent more than fifty thousand years to Breakthrough this stage.

To Transcendent at ten thousand years old, such talent could probably only be achieved by the Prince of Kase Royal City, which is unique in the Kase Heaven Realm!

But today, that record was broken.

“I am Saen Qingyun, greetings, Fellow Daoist!”

Unaware of the young man's identity, but considering his talent, he figured his status within the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild was not low, so he politely cupped his fists.

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow. A merchant's intuition told him that these two were definitely not here to buy things.

Moreover, the two of them had restrained their aura, giving him an unmatchable feeling, and coupled with the young man's innate temperament, he was clearly no ordinary person.

Xu Ran politely returned the bow, “You are too kind, guest. I am merely a manager of the merchant guild; I am not worthy of such deference from you!”

The Second Young Master heard this and smiled humbly, “Fellow Daoist, I have a business matter and would like to meet your Merchant Guild's Chairman. I wonder if you could introduce me?”

Before understanding the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild's attitude, the Second Young Master naturally would not reveal his true purpose. After all, in the competition for the Clan Chief position, if he showed even a slight flaw, he could very likely miss out on the Clan Chief position, or even incur a fatal disaster.

He knew very well that such individuals could only be bound by profit.

His third brother's war beast was cultivated from a young age, then sent to the beast-fighting arena to experience various life-and-death situations, which is how it Breakthrough. He, however, did not have such an Opportunity.

Therefore, he thought about it all night and decided to first establish a business cooperation with the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild. There were still a hundred years until his father's abdication. If he handled it properly during these hundred years, his and the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild's interests would be tightly bound.

Additionally, he would try his best to fade from the Family's sight to mislead other competitors.

Among their five siblings, he was not considered to have the strongest momentum. Above him, besides his fourth brother, there was also his fifth brother. The latter managed the arena, a place for beings of various races to engage in life-and-death combat, no less formidable than the beast-fighting arena.

In the coming hundred years, the person his fourth brother was most likely to target would be his fifth brother.

“Guests, please follow me!”

Xu Ran nodded after a brief thought.

Then, Xu Ran led the two to the third floor.

“Please have a seat, both of you!”

Xu Ran led the two to a private room, then called for a maid to serve tea.

Not long after, Xu Ran returned, but this time he was half a step behind, with Xu Song walking in front.

“Greetings, both of you. I am Xu Song, the Chairman of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild!”

Xu Song smiled and cupped his fists towards the two, while also sizing them up.

The Second Young Master looked at Sarn Ao in confusion. He had seen Xu Qing's portrait, and Sarn Ao's eyes also held some doubt.

“Saen Qingyun greets Chairman Xu!”

Despite his confusion, the Second Young Master naturally did not lose his manners.

Who was Xu Song? With just a simple expression from the Second Young Master, he knew the two were not looking for him.

With a thought, he guessed the identities of the two and the person they were looking for.

“Please, both of you, sit!”

Xu Song flicked his sleeve, and an invisible force spread out. The Second Young Master and his companion immediately changed color. At that moment, they both felt the Supreme Dao of the Blade, and a monstrous wave rose in their hearts.

Xu Song smiled inwardly. His action just now was merely a warning to the two. The news of Saen Family's Fourth Young Master gaining a Dao Lord combat power had been spreading throughout the city these past few days.

Now knowing Saen Qingyun's identity, and considering his age in conjunction with the Saen Family's affairs, he already understood the other party's intentions.

“Both of you, my grand-nephew tells me you have a business deal. What kind of deal is it? Our Xuanhuang Merchant Guild is new here, having just opened a few days ago, and is still in its initial stages. If the risk is too great, our Xuanhuang Merchant Guild would not dare to participate!”

Xu Song said with a half-smile.

Saen Qingyun's heart sank upon hearing this. How could he not understand the meaning behind Xu Song's words?

The other party had guessed his identity with just one look, which made him somewhat frustrated. At the same time, the implied rejection in the words made him very unwilling.

Especially after knowing that the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild had more than one Dao Lord.

“Cough, cough!”

Sarn Ao cleared his throat, pulling Saen Qingyun back to reality.

“Chairman Xu, you jest. Although my business deal carries some risk, the profit will certainly not disappoint your esteemed Merchant Guild! As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger. The greater the risk, the greater the reward, naturally.”

Saen Qingyun replied with a smile.

Xu Song smiled, “That may be so, but our Xuanhuang Merchant Guild has always prioritized stability. Although the returns are small, they are consistent!”

Upon hearing this, Saen Qingyun seemed to have made some kind of decision and said, “I heard that your Merchant Guild collects all kinds of Heaven And Earth Treasure. Some time ago, my subordinates discovered a small leilin dao gold Ore vein in Meila Dao Province. Due to some special reasons, I cannot come forward, so I need a third party to help me manage this leilin dao gold.”

“Oh?”

Xu Song became interested. He would not interfere with the other party's Family matters, but business was business.

leilin dao gold Ore is a unique and top-grade Dao Gold Ore. Its color is black and gold interspersed, with scale patterns on it, and it can autonomously absorb Great Dao divine thunder. The refined Dao Gold can be used to forge top-grade thunder-element Dao Weapons and even Low Grade Great Dao Spirit Treasures.

At market price, one catty of leilin dao gold is worth ten million Chaos Yuan Crystals. He does not lack Chaos Yuan Crystals, but he lacks Heaven And Earth Treasure. He does not know if Xu Qing needs this leilin dao gold, but if operated properly, he could exchange it for more Cultivation resources from other places.

A small Ore vein is at least ten thousand li in size. Even if it needs to be refined, there would be at least a thousand catties of leilin dao gold, which could be exchanged for a lot of resources.

At that time, with proper operation, this batch of leilin dao gold could fall into his hands.
