438: Orders are coming in like snow

Xuanhuang Ancient City, Xuanhuang Merchant Guild Headquarters.

After three days, the Eight-Star Auction finally concluded, but the entire Xuanhuang Ancient City was still immersed in a fervent atmosphere.

On the streets, Cultivators gathered in small groups, excitedly discussing the unprecedentedly grand auction.

Who would have thought that some astute individuals at the auction had recorded the event with a recording stone and then sold the footage to the public, earning a large amount of Chaos Xuanjing?

“Have you heard? That final Medium Grade chaotic spiritual treasure actually sold for the sky-high price of 162 million Low Grade dao crystal!”

A Cultivator’s face was filled with alarm, his excitement overflowing as if he had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.

“The Xuanhuang Merchant Guild has truly made a fortune this time!” another person sighed, “I roughly calculated, just the Low Grade dao crystal alone amounted to over 800 million!”

“That’s dao crystal! Such a massive amount of dao crystal, even an ordinary Supreme Power would probably find it difficult to produce!”

“Is it just dao crystal?”

An Elder nearby stroked his beard, his eyes deep, and said with a half-smile, “After this event, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild’s reputation is like thunder. This is something that no amount of dao crystal can buy.”

Indeed, in the days following the auction, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild Headquarters was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of envoys from various powers.

Among them, the most prominent were the representatives of the Supreme Powers.

These powers had reached various transactions with the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, and in the long run, the profits from these transactions would surely far exceed what was gained from this auction.

Sandalwood incense wafted, and spiritual mist swirled.

At this moment, in a private room of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, Xu Song was smiling as he gazed at a distinguished-looking Elder before him.

The Elder was dressed in a golden robe, with a Dragon Elephant pattern embroidered on his chest, like a golden Dragon coiled, exuding a majestic Aura. This person was Long Xiao, the Ninth Elder of the Dragon Elephant Dao Sect.

He had come to this Eight-Star Auction representing his Sect.

His arrival this time carried the mission of his Sect Master, to probe the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild.

However, when he witnessed the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild’s gathering of stars, each displaying their Divine Ability, he had a sudden inspiration and temporarily changed his mind.

“Elder Long has traveled tirelessly from afar. Xu is sorry for not greeting you sooner, and hopes Elder Long will forgive him.”

Xu Song’s face was full of smiles, his tone humble and polite, yet not losing his demeanor.

Long Xiao laughed heartily, cupped his hands in return, “Chairman Xu is too kind! My purpose in coming this time is, firstly, to express my Sect’s highest respect to that person in your Merchant Guild, and secondly, I hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your Merchant Guild.”

A cunning glint flashed in Xu Song’s eyes, then he made a gesture of invitation, “Elder Long, please take the main seat. Let’s sit down and discuss in detail.”

Upon hearing this, Long Xiao immediately felt reassured.

They were all intelligent people. He had just alluded to ‘that person’, and Xu Song must have understood. Since the other party did not deny it, it confirmed his guess.

Therefore, they needed to treat this Xuanhuang Merchant Guild actively, as it involved a Dao Ancestor.

In an instant, Long Xiao’s attitude became even more cordial and amiable.

After the two took their seats as host and guest, a maid gracefully served a cup of Dao tea.

Long Xiao took a sip and couldn’t help but praise, “Good tea! This tea is like a divine elixir, truly worthy of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild. Even the Dao tea for guests is so outstanding.”

“Elder Long overpraises,” Xu Song smiled faintly, as if bathed in a spring breeze, “I wonder which goods your Sect is particularly interested in?”

Long Xiao put down his teacup and said seriously, “To be honest, my Sect values your Merchant Guild’s Body Refining Medicinal Pills very much, especially the Dragon Blood Tempering Heart Pill and the Star Forging Body Paste. As you know, my Sect specializes in the path of Body Refining, so there is a great demand for Body Refining Medicinal Pills.”

Xu Song nodded, “These two Medicinal Pills are indeed the signature products of our Merchant Guild, but the Materials required for their refining are precious, and the output is limited…”

Isn’t that right? These two Medicinal Pills rarely appeared in the outside world. This time at the auction, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild brought them out for auction.

And afterwards, they were put up for sale.

Both of these Medicinal Pills came from Xu Qing’s hands.

According to their Clan Chief’s nature, as long as the other party had enough Heaven And Earth Treasure, or Chaos Xuanjing, their Clan Chief would definitely take action.

“That’s easy to say!” Long Xiao waved his hand, “As long as your Merchant Guild provides three hundred portions of each Medicinal Pill annually!”

Currently, each of these two Medicinal Pills sells for one billion Chaos Xuanjing. Three hundred portions would be an order of six hundred billion Chaos Xuanjing. Even if the Clan Chief takes half, they would still receive three hundred billion, which is doable!

“Happy cooperation!” Xu Song smiled and nodded.

“Chairman Xu, there’s one more thing. Besides ordering this batch of Medicinal Pills…” He paused, a glint flashing in his eyes, “My Sect wants to order ten Low Grade chaotic spiritual treasures from your Sect. Of course, if there are higher-grade chaotic spiritual treasures, that would be even better.”

Several chaotic spiritual treasures appeared at this auction, and the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild itself admitted to having the ability to refine chaotic spiritual treasures, so Long Xiao took this opportunity to test the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild’s foundation.

Xu Song secretly rejoiced, but his expression remained calm, “Elder Long, chaotic spiritual treasures are difficult to refine. Our Xuanhuang Merchant Guild might need some time…”

“No problem!” Long Xiao said magnanimously, “As long as the quality is guaranteed, time is not an issue.”

“Happy cooperation!”

The two exchanged smiles and raised their cups to drink.

Just in this casual conversation, an astonishingly valuable transaction was concluded.

After seeing off the envoy from the Dragon Elephant Dao Sect, Xu Song had just returned to the main hall when he heard Xu Changyun report, “Hall Master, Great Master Xuanku from Tianhua Temple is visiting.”

Xu Song straightened his attire, a confident smile appearing on his face, “Please invite Great Master Xuanku in.”

...In the following days, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild experienced unprecedented busyness.

Representatives from various major powers arrived one after another, vying to sign various order contracts with the Merchant Guild.

Inside the Merchant Guild, the Elders responsible for receiving guests were extremely busy, but everyone’s face was beaming with joy.

One month later!

Xuanhuang Merchant Guild Headquarters.

Xu Song stood on a tall building, overlooking the brightly lit Xuanhuang Ancient City.

The night wind brushed his face, bringing a hint of coolness, but at this moment, Xu Song’s heart was burning with fervor.

In this past month, orders had flown in like snowflakes, and his room was already piled high with contract documents.

Furthermore, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild’s branch offices had completely opened up the markets in the six domains within this month, and the speed of branch establishment was even faster than before.

In just one month, the secondary branch offices had been fully established, and more than three thousand tertiary branch offices had been set up.

“Hall Master, you’ve been working hard for a month, you should rest.”

Xu Changyun walked up beside him and said softly.

“How can I be tired looking at these contracts?”

Xu Song shook his head, his gaze deep, “Changyun, this is just the beginning. This Hall Master must make the name of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild resound throughout the entire Ancient Land of Dao!”
