Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

The Jinhua Commerce Association and the Si Shui Commerce Association are like water and fire, rooted in the market competition within the same state, entangling over the core interest struggle for the Commerce Association’s foothold here, irreconcilable.

Thus, whenever the two parties meet, confrontation is inevitable.

Even if the dogs of the two associations meet, they must bark at each other a few times.

Moreover, at this moment, representing the Jinhua Commerce Association is Young Master Wu, and representing the Si Shui Commerce Association is Miss Yuan.

Yuan Jingzhu is a relative of Master Yuxiao, and her parents were killed by Tribulation Cultivators hired by the Jinhua Commerce Association when she was just born. Because of her extraordinary talent, being naturally Celestial Grade Spirit Root, she was chosen by the association and acknowledged Master Yuxiao as her mother, with hopes to inherit the position of association president in the future.

”It seems it’s my fault, I didn’t check the calendar before going out and encountered Young Master Wu.” Yuan Jingzhu, true to her name, is tranquil and indifferent, starkly different from Master Yuxiao’s competence.

Her simple and elegant green dress lightly treads on the stone steps, the lightweight steps exuding an air of elegance even while walking.

However, when facing Wu Yehua, her voice, though calm and gentle, was filled with hostility in her words.

”Hehe, Miss Yuan is still so pitifully charming, but it’s a pity... since ancient times, beauty has had a short life, be careful when going out, the flower-picking evil cultivators are extremely rampant lately.” Wu Yehua replied carelessly with a cynical smile.

Yuan Jingzhu heard this, slightly lifting her delicate chin, revealing a swan-like white neck, with her face showing a trace of surprise and three points of concern: ”Oh, so the other day when Young Master Wu was not ambushed for revenge, it was indeed by the hands of a flower-picking evil cultivator?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yehua’s face changed slightly, as the previous ambush incident on the road had already spread widely.

Rumors have been emerging endlessly.

Though he appears calm and casual in front of others, seemingly unconcerned about the ambush, in reality, his heart grows more urgent because his father had severely reprimanded him, and the association internally deemed it a reflection of his flawed character, resulting in the Thief Cultivator attacking him under the Nine Tripods Commerce Association’s escort agency.

This severely undermined the prestige of the Nine Tripods Commerce Association’s escort agency, and there must be a scapegoat.

Fortunately, before returning to the Jinhua Commerce Association, he still had two chances to restore his position in the association.

First, amidst the struggle of the heroes, to acquire the Green Blood Pill from the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association.

He originally had great confidence in this, as his mother left him something before her demise, which might not be valuable to others, but is exceptionally attractive to the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association, which mainly trades in Spirit Pets.

Second, he accidentally discovered Liu Qingyun, an Immortal Seedling.

If he could persuade him to join the Jinhua Commerce Association and represent the Jinhua Commerce Association in the Flying Crane Dao Discussion, he might become a dark horse.

”Haha, I always thought Miss Yuan is not a foolish person who believes hearsay, so it seems...”

”That is a matter for wisdom to see wisdom! Perhaps your intelligent and brave second brother would not share your view.” Yuan Jingzhu smiled faintly.

Mentioning Wu Yehua’s second brother, immediately darkened the latter’s face.

Even with his profound composure, when confronting the brother who hired assassins to kill him, he found it hard to remain indifferent.

Moreover, that is his strongest competitor.

”Hmph! Miss Yuan should think about how to enter through this door!” Wu Yehua snorted coldly, no longer pretending.

Then he said to the guards on the side: ”Dear allies, please take a good look, this is the Foundation Establishment junior of the Si Shui Commerce Association, nameless and rankless, I’m afraid she’s not qualified to enter through this door, right?”

...

Li Ji’an had no interest in their disputes, his Divine Sense fell on Guo Wanzhi beside Yuan Jingzhu.

Ever since Guo Wanzhi was personally taken away and arranged by Master Yuxiao three years ago, she never took the initiative to contact Li Ji’an.

Li Ji’an understood this well, and even somewhat appreciated it, after all, Huang Jie’s appearance was indeed not good, and was even flirtatious on the spiritual ship, while Guo Wanzhi had her heart set on her senior brother Xu Xiaochun, making a choice between love and gratitude.

Of course, although she hasn’t come to visit, she did strive for some rights for Li Ji’an, including the initial decision by Master Yuxiao on how to treat the insidious person who repays kindness with betrayal, and is short-lived, like Huang Jie, by using her own presence to fight for Li Ji’an.

At this moment, upon meeting again, Guo Wanzhi’s Magical Power was more solid,

and her actions were steady and cautious.

She merely followed quietly behind Yuan Jingzhu, and if it weren’t for Yuan Jingzhu’s respectful attitude towards her, others might think she was just a normal little maid.

”Please queue at the main gate for entry!” At this time, the side gate guard made a decision regarding Yuan Jingzhu’s party.

”We are both members of the Business Alliance, why should we queue?” The matron behind Yuan Jingzhu stepped forward to argue.

The Fierce Tiger Commerce Association guard remained expressionless: ”If a character of president-level from your association comes, naturally they can enter, but...”

”This is our association’s eldest lady.”

”Eldest lady? May I ask what position she holds within the association?” The guard looked indifferent.

”This...” The old matron was momentarily speechless.

”Hehe, Miss Yuan should let Master Yuxiao pass on the position of the president to you as soon as possible.” Seeing this, Wu Yehua couldn’t help but gloat, finally retrieving a semblance of the situation.

And hearing this, the old matron immediately pointed at Wu Yehua and said: ”Why can he enter?”

”Him?” The guard turned to glance at Wu Yehua: ”Because he is Young Master Wu of the Jinhua Commerce Association, and also a loyal ally of our Fierce Tiger Commerce Association!”

”But he...”

The old matron wanted to argue more, but Yuan Jingzhu merely smiled faintly and stopped her: ”There’s no need to say more, we will queue.”

The words finished, she led Guo Wanzhi toward the main gate.

Watching Guo Wanzhi’s figure fade away, Li Ji’an also shook his head secretly.
