## Chapter 2545: One Mountain Cannot Hold Two Tigers

Leicheng has become lively these days, with two significant events on the horizon.

One is the annual auction of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. As one of the most powerful chambers of commerce on the entire Origin Continent, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce has branches in several large cities. Each branch holds an auction every year, attracting both major and minor forces. Each branch has its specialties due to different regional resources, and many forces come specifically for these specialties. For example, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce in Leicheng specializes in thunder-attributed materials and magic weapons.

This year’s auction is particularly special because it coincides with the opening of Leishan Mountain, and there will be an auction for the quota to enter Leishan. Many practitioners have come specifically for this quota. Leishan belongs to the Lei family, and every time it opens, the Lei family controls the entry quotas. These quotas are divided into two levels: ordinary and core area. There are 1,000 ordinary places and only 10 core area places, making the latter a hundred times more valuable.

The quotas are divided into three parts:

1. **Hanshui Holy Land:** The Lei family gives 400 ordinary places and 4 core places to the Hanshui Holy Land, which then distributes them. The Holy Land takes 40% of all places and usually redistributes half of these.

2. **Lufeng Chamber of Commerce:** The Lei family provides 300 ordinary places and 3 core places to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce for auction. These places go to the highest bidders, allowing the Lei family to profit.

3. **Lei Family:** The Lei family retains 300 ordinary places and 3 core places for themselves. They usually offer 100 ordinary places through a competition in Leicheng, where participants below the other shore realm can compete for them. The core places are reserved for the family’s use.

Lin Moyu requested a place in the core area, so the Lei family reduced the number of core places auctioned to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce by one, maintaining three core places for themselves. The Lei family decides how to allocate their quotas.

Lin Moyu was unaware of these details. In the morning, just after Xiaoyue finished her boxing practice, Lei Sanxiang arrived with Lei Pengpeng. Lei Pengpeng’s complexion was noticeably better, and her spirit was much improved.

Lei Pengpeng bowed to Lin Moyu, “Thank you, Senior Lin, for helping me!”

Lin Moyu smiled, “No need to be so polite. Go play with Xiaowu and Xiaoyue.”

Although reborn, Lei Pengpeng’s personality remained lively, and she quickly ran off to play.

Lei Sanxiang placed a box on the table, regardless of whether Lin Moyu wanted it or not. “This is my personal thank-you gift to you. It has nothing to do with the quota promised by my brother.”

He then took out two cards, one blue and one purple. The cards were made of a strange material and had the word “Lei” engraved on them, containing strong thunder attributes.

Lei Sanxiang placed the blue card on the table, “This is called a Leiyin card. Let Xiaoyue activate and refine it; it can help her hide her identity as a living soul. This badge was made by my eldest brother, and ordinary Daozun cannot spy on it. The Seven Color Sect is looking for Xiaoyue recently. You have to be careful. If they target you, it will be very troublesome. Even in Leicheng, Tian Caijin will find a way to deal with you.”

Lin Moyu’s heart tightened slightly. He took the badge and said, “Thank you for reminding me. I hadn’t considered this.”

He thought he would be safe in Leicheng.

Lei Sanxiang then placed the black card on the table, “This is the token for the core area. Let Xiaoyue refine it. In Leishan, this token can guarantee her safety.”

Lin Moyu asked, “Senior, how safe is Leishan?”

Leishan has been opened many times, and based on past experience, it is generally safe. However, accidents do happen. Lin Moyu wanted to be sure, especially since Lei Pengpeng’s mother was injured in Leishan.

Lei Sanxiang said, “Leishan is naturally not 100% safe, but as long as you have the token, you generally won’t get hurt. Especially the token for the core area, which is stronger than other tokens and enough to guarantee safety. In previous trips to Leishan, no one who entered the core area had any accidents.”

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and asked, “What about Lei Pengpeng’s mother?”

Lei Sanxiang’s expression changed slightly, “That was an accident.”

After hesitating, Lei Sanxiang continued, “Leishan is very large. We only open the outermost part, even the core area is on the outer periphery. Pengpeng’s mother was inside.”

Lin Moyu understood that the real danger in Leishan lies inside, not in the open area. This reassured him. From Lei Sanxiang’s words, Lin Moyu inferred that the Lei family has been exploring Leishan and does not fully control it, only the outer periphery.

Leishan is a world of secrets. Controlling even a part of it has made the Lei family a significant force. If they could control it all, they might rival the holy lands.

When Lin Moyu met Lei Zhengying, he sensed his ambition. Lei Zhengying’s goal is not just to protect the Lei family but to elevate it to the next level. If the Lei family rises to the level of a holy land, there will be conflict with the Hanshui Holy Land, leading to war.

Lin Moyu thought a lot in an instant, feeling that chaos might soon come to this land. But he quickly dismissed these thoughts, realizing it was not his concern.

At the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce branch in Leicheng, the annual auction finally arrived. Guests streamed in, and all the service staff were busy receiving them.

“It’s so lively! There are more people here than in the market in Linhai City!” Xiaoyue’s eyes shone with excitement.

Since she could remember, the most people she had seen were in the market in Linhai City. The world of Leicheng was new to her.

Xiaowu smiled, “Next time, let’s go to the master’s rule world. There are even more people there.”

Xiaowu looked like she had seen the world, as if to say, “Sister will take you to see more.”

Xiaoyue believed her and kept saying, “Okay, okay!”

Lin Moyu met Lu Yuan. As the branch president, Lu Yuan personally greeted him. For ordinary guests, it was not his job to do so.

Seeing Lin Moyu, Lu Yuan immediately ran over, “Mr. Lin, you are here.”

Lin Moyu looked at him, “President Lu, you seem a little worried.”

Lu Yuan sighed, “That’s right. The Lei family originally gave us three core quotas for Leishan, but now it’s suddenly two. I’ve already announced the news, and it’s hard to explain now!”
