I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Use the Martial Saint Ninefold Experience CardBai Zihua took the jade slip, opened it to check the contents, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. ”A few months ago, the Qin Family was just a Great Martial Master Family.”

”Now, not only has Qin Yi become a Martial Saint powerhouse, but the strength of the Qin Family members has also been greatly improved.”

”Interesting, truly interesting.”

Bai Xiong asked, ”President, the Qin Family’s Tianyun Chamber of Commerce is now developing at an extremely fast speed. Should we stop them?”

Bai Zihua’s eyes flickered, and he spoke indifferently, ”Yes, why wouldn’t we stop the development of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce?”

Hearing this, Bai Xiong said in a deep voice, ”President, I will lead some people to cause trouble for the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce and ensure they cannot develop.”

”If the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce wants to develop quickly, they’ll have to see if our Red Moon Chamber of Commerce agrees.”

”Our Red Moon Chamber of Commerce has been developing in Qingzhou for so many years and has long since become the number one chamber of commerce in Qingzhou.”

Bai Zihua shook his head and said, ”No, no, no. Fighting and killing is too childish.”

”Go directly to contact the Mercenary Groups and buy out the items in their hands at a high price. I’m sure they’ll be very willing to sell to us.”

”When the time comes, the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce will have no influx of external goods, and it will be impossible for them to develop quickly.”

Bai Xiong frowned and said, ”President, this way our chamber of commerce won’t get any benefits either; instead, we’ll waste a lot of Spirit Stones.”

Bai Zihua laughed loudly, ”So what? If it’s wasted, it’s wasted. As long as it stops the Qin Family’s chamber of commerce from developing, I’ll be very happy to see it.”

”As you command, President.” Bai Xiong did not dare to object. He accepted the order and left the hall... Three days later, at the Qin Family, inside Qin Yi’s courtyard.

Elder Xiao said in a deep voice, ”Clan Chief, these are the Alchemists the Family has just recruited.”

Twenty-three Alchemists stood restrainedly before Qin Yi. The highest-ranked among them was only a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, and there was only one of those.

Most Alchemists feared the Qing Clan and believed the Qin Family was no match for them, so they did not join the Qin Family.

Therefore, only a small portion joined the Qin Family.

Otherwise, with the influence of a Martial Saint Family and an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, many Alchemists would have definitely joined the Qin Family.

Qin Yi nodded. With a thought, he used his Detection Technique to check their loyalty.

He found that the loyalty of these twenty-three people was not low, all above sixty. Indeed, those who could enter the Qin Family despite the pressure from the Qing Clan would not have low loyalty.

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, ”Elder Xiao, you can cultivate these Alchemists diligently and raise their Alchemist Ranks as soon as possible.”

Elder Xiao naturally understood Qin Yi’s meaning—to use the emperor-grade alchemist manual for training. ”As you command, Clan Chief.”

Afterward, Elder Xiao led these Alchemists out of Qin Yi’s courtyard.

A moment later, Second Elder also arrived and reported, ”Clan Chief, the development of our Tianyun Chamber of Commerce is being suppressed by the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.”

Then, Second Elder recounted how the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce was buying up goods at high prices and cutting off the source of goods for the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

”Clan Chief, if this continues, it will be difficult for our Tianyun Chamber of Commerce to develop quickly.”

Although the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce had its own Guard Team responsible for hunting Yao Beasts and collecting items in the mountains,

it was far from enough to rely solely on what the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce collected itself for rapid development.

Hearing this, Qin Yi’s eyes turned cold. The Red Moon Chamber of Commerce was clearly restricting the development of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

By buying goods at high prices, they wouldn’t earn Spirit Stones; instead, they would consume a large amount of manpower.

At this moment, the System’s voice sounded.

”Ding! The Host’s Family chamber of commerce is being suppressed by the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.”

”Option One: Compete in financial power and purchase goods at double the price of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.”

”Reward: 50,000 Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills, 500,000 seventh-grade elixirs, and 100 million High-Grade Spirit Stones.”

”Option Two: Restricting the development of the Qin Family’s chamber of commerce is a path to death; annihilate the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.”

”Reward: Increase the Host’s cultivation by three minor Realms and the Imperial Rank High Grade Martial Skill: Great Desolation Heaven Imprisoning Finger.”

”I choose Option Two,” Qin Yi decided.

Anyone who restricted the Qin Family’s development, no matter who they were, would be an enemy of the Qin Family.

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, ”Second Elder, I will handle this matter personally. The Tianyun Chamber of Commerce should continue to develop according to plan.”

Second Elder took the order, ”As you command, Clan Chief.”

Since he had decided to take action against the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce, he first had to gather clear information about them.

Subsequently, Qin Yi ordered the Shadow Guards to investigate information on the powerhouses within the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, information about the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce reached Qin Yi’s hands. The Red Moon Chamber of Commerce had four Martial Saint powerhouses, with the highest cultivation being Bai Zihua at the Martial Saint Seventh Level.

There were also three Elders in the Martial Saint Realm: one at the Martial Saint Fourth Level and two at the Martial Saint First Level.

Qin Yi’s brow furrowed. The intelligence showed that Bai Zihua was only in his twenties, yet his cultivation had already reached the Martial Saint Seventh Level.

Qin Yi’s first instinct was that Bai Zihua was not simple. With his own Martial Saint Second Level cultivation, activating the Chaos Divine Demon Body would allow him to kill a Martial Saint Sixth Level Cultivator.

He could fight against a Martial Saint Seventh Level, but killing one would be truly difficult.

The Martial Saint Seventh Level was already in the category of high-level Martial Saints, and its strength far exceeded the Martial Saint Sixth Level.

Moreover, Bai Zihua might not be an ordinary Martial Saint Seventh Level Cultivator.

Qin Yi had a martial saint ninth level experience card; using it would definitely allow him to wipe out the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Qin Yi made up his mind and used the martial saint ninth level experience card.

Once the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce was annihilated, his cultivation would increase to the Martial Saint Fifth Level, and at that time, the martial saint ninth level experience card wouldn’t be as important.

Qin Yi’s figure moved, flying directly toward Wushuang City... With the speed of a Martial Saint, he soon arrived at Wushuang City.

Qin Yi muttered inwardly, ”System, use the martial saint ninth level experience card.”

The System said, ”Used successfully. Time limit: one day.”

Suddenly, a powerful energy appeared in Qin Yi’s body, and his cultivation rose directly to the Martial Saint Ninth Level.

Qin Yi flew to the front of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters pavilion. Spiritual Qi surged around him, and he struck the middle of the pavilion with a single punch.

With a thunderous boom.

The pavilion teetered. Even with the protection of the Formations, it was shattered under Qin Yi’s powerful punch.

The massive commotion instantly drew the attention of various forces in Wushuang City.

The surrounding Cultivators looked at the scene before them in disbelief; the pavilion of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce had actually been collapsed by a single punch.

They all discussed in shock:

”Hiss! I just spaced out for a second, and the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce’s pavilion was actually collapsed by someone.”

”Who is that person in the sky? To have such powerful strength, this kind of attack has already reached the Martial Saint level.”

”This is openly offending the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce. Isn’t he afraid of Bai Zihua’s retaliation? You know, Bai Zihua is a Martial Saint Seventh Level powerhouse.”

Immediately after, several voices roared in anger.

”Which force dares to attack our Red Moon Chamber of Commerce?”

”No matter who you are, you will stay here today.”

”...”

Dozens of Cultivators with powerful auras flew into the air, the lowest being Martial Venerables, and those in front were even Martial Saint powerhouses.

Inside the pavilion, some with lower cultivation were killed directly by Qin Yi’s punch.
