The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Can’t Wait

The trading event at the Pill Spirit Conference was undoubtedly one of the grandest gatherings on the Continent in a century.

The reason it was only one of them was mainly because the Holy City also had a century-old auction.

Both were events that attracted the attention of the entire Continent, yet, there were differences between them.

The trade fair at the Pill Spirit Conference was, overall, a free market, while the auction in the Holy City was a large-scale auction hosted by the Palace Master. One offered high flexibility, and the other strong organization. Which was superior was a matter of personal perspective and hard to clarify.

The trade fair wouldn’t start until ten days later.

In the square, the more than one hundred thousand Martial Artists who had witnessed the grand Alchemy ceremony gradually dispersed, waiting for the trade fair to start in ten days. Once it began, it would last an entire month. During this time, Martial Artists could almost buy anything they desired, including many rare and peculiar items.

Even Creation Pills might appear at the trade fair!

And Jing Yan himself was also looking forward to this trade fair.

If he could acquire some of the materials he needed at the trade fair, it would be a pleasant surprise, such as the Dao Essence Fruit essential for refining the Divine Dao Pill.

Jing Yan returned to Qing Ru and the others, planning to follow them back to Youhai Commerce initially. In these ten days, he could continue to stay at Youhai Commerce, waiting for the trade fair to start.

Moreover, Youhai Commerce still needed to pay Jing Yan a compensation of twenty million Spirit Stones.

”President Qing Ru!” the president of the Dragon Soaring Commerce suddenly came over.

”President Long Bi, what can I do for you?” Qing Ru asked, looking at Long Bi, the president of Dragon Soaring Commerce.

”Yes, there is one thing,” Long Bi nodded solemnly, ”I seemed to hear you say earlier that Mr. Jing Yan is not actually from Youhai Commerce, right?”

Hearing this, Qing Ru’s eyebrows twitched.

She instantly realized what President Long Bi was aiming at.

President Long Bi obviously wanted Jing Yan to join the Dragon Soaring Commerce.

Of course, Qing Ru did not want to see Jing Yan join the Dragon Soaring Commerce. However, since Jing Yan was indeed not a part of Youhai Commerce, if Jing Yan decided to join Dragon Soaring Commerce, she really had no reason to stop him.

”That’s right, Mr. Jing Yan is indeed not from Youhai Commerce.” Although she didn’t want to answer, Qing Ru, as the president of Youhai Commerce and skilled in Qi Cultivation Technique, still did.

”Well, then there is no problem,” Long Bi nodded, then turned his gaze to Jing Yan.

”Mr. Jing Yan, I am Long Bi, the president of Dragon Soaring Commerce.” Long Bi greeted Jing Yan.

”Good to meet you, President Long Bi!” Jing Yan nodded back.

”Mr. Jing Yan, I would like to invite you to join Dragon Soaring Commerce. As for the conditions, you can decide.” Long Bi was quite straightforward.

His meaning was that as long as Jing Yan was willing to join Dragon Soaring Commerce, Jing Yan could freely set his own terms.

This also showed that Long Bi truly hoped Jing Yan would join Dragon Soaring Commerce.

The Pill Master representing Dragon Soaring Commerce at this Alchemy ceremony also ranked in the Newcomer Pill King List, but compared to Jing Yan, the first place, the difference was enormous. If he could bring Jing Yan into his commerce, it would obviously benefit the development of the commerce significantly.

Jing Yan, being only twenty-three, had climbed to the first rank on the Newcomer Pill King List. What would happen after a few decades?

Long Bi also felt that Jing Yan might have the potential to become a Great Alchemist King in the future. Although Long Bi did not witness Jing Yan’s performance in the finals, it did not prevent him from making a fairly accurate judgment.

Because of his strong desire for Jing Yan to join Dragon Soaring Commerce, he did not wait to go back and discuss it with other directors but directly invited Jing Yan.

Not only Long Bi but also the presidents of the Winter Sun Trading House and Black Teeth Commerce were eagerly watching Jing Yan.

The president of Golden Sparrow Commerce, Bai Lan, also hoped that Jing Yan would join Golden Sparrow Commerce. However, he knew that the possibility was nearly zero.

”Thank you for your kind offer, President Long Bi, but I currently have no plans to join any commerce,” Jing Yan politely declined.

”That’s no problem, I suppose Pill Master Jing Yan will be staying in Pill Country for a while, so you can consider it slowly. You’ll be staying at Youhai Commerce recently, right? In a few days, I will visit Youhai Commerce again,” Long Bi seemed to have anticipated Jing Yan’s response, so he did not show too much disappointment and quickly said this.

As Long Bi had said so, Jing Yan naturally found it hard to say anything further. He smiled, which was taken as an implicit agreement to Long Bi’s words.

At this moment, Qing Ru’s eyes revealed a hint of joy. Since Jing Yan did not directly accept Long Bi’s invitation, she still had a chance.

”Mr. Jing Yan, shall we head back to Youhai Commerce now?” Qing Ru immediately asked Jing Yan.

Qing Ru was well aware that those interested in Jing Yan were not limited to Dragon Soaring Commerce.

In Pill Country, likely, all forces would be interested in Jing Yan.

And compared to other forces, Youhai Commerce had a significant advantage, which was the relationship between Jing Yan and Youhai Commerce. Moreover, Jing Yan would also temporarily be residing in Youhai Commerce.

The near water pavilion gets the moon first.

Youhai Commerce was also one of the Five Great Commerce of Pill Country and had substantial financial resources.

”Alright!” Jing Yan nodded.

The group of people left Pill Spirit City and returned to Youhai Commerce.

”Mr. Jing Yan, according to our agreement, since you ranked on the Newcomer Pill King List, we need to pay you an additional twenty million Spirit Stones in compensation. Here, this is the twenty million Spirit Stones,” Qing Ru immediately handed over the remaining twenty million Spirit Stones to Jing Yan.

On the day the agreement was signed, Youhai Commerce had already paid twenty million Spirit Stones, so now, they only needed to pay the remaining twenty million Spirit Stones.

Jing Yan took it in stride, as it was rightfully his, and he did not refuse. He had represented Youhai Commerce, bringing them benefits far beyond a mere few tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

”Mr. Jing Yan, there is one more thing I would like to talk to you about!” Qing Ru said once Jing Yan had put away the Spirit Stones.

During her speech, she also glanced at Zhou Shang Yun. Because what she was about to discuss with Jing Yan, if she could get Zhou Shang Yun’s help, then the likelihood could be higher.

Previously, she had communicated with Zhou Shang Yun, who was not opposed, though Zhou Shang Yun also stated that it depended on Jing Yan’s personal decision, and he could not influence Jing Yan’s judgment.

”Please go ahead, President Qing Ru,” Jing Yan smiled and said.

”I’ll get straight to the point,” Qing Ru said, ”I hope that Pill Master Jing Yan can join Youhai Commerce. Although we are currently the weakest among the Five Great Commerce, our Youhai Commerce is the fastest-growing among them. With your joining, Mr. Jing Yan, it won’t take long for Youhai Commerce to surpass Golden Sparrow Commerce.”
