Chapter 3756: The Merchant Union of Star Brilliance
“An injured Immortal Exalt? He went straight to the city lord’s estate. Don’t tell me he’s the one watching over the Immortal Rising City?” Jian Chen gazed in the direction of the city lord’s estate and pondered to himself.
He had already gained a basic grasp over the Immortal Rising City so far. Rather than a city, it was more akin to an everlasting empire with Grand Primes from the Saints’ World. Even when it came to size, it did not pale much in comparison to everlasting empires.
Many organisations of various sizes existed within this expansive immortal city. These organisations were basically all subservient to the eight organisations with Immortal Emperors.
Meanwhile, the eight organisations that ruled over this place obeyed the city lord’s estate.
In the Immortal Rising City, the city lord’s estate was like the imperial family of an everlasting empire, possessing paramount authority.
They differed completely from Falling Cloud City in this respect.
“But from his presence, he seems to only be a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, unless he has hidden his strength.” Jian Chen had seen his fair share of Immortal Exalts. He was already capable of approximately determining their strength from their presences.
Shortly afterwards, Jian Chen looked away and strolled into the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance with Jing Feng and Jing Mumu.
The Merchant Union of Star Brilliance was crowded and raucous. Many immortals gathered inside, but most of them were Golden and Xuan Immortals. There were an extremely small number of Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.
The first floor of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance was directed towards immortals of weaker strength. They sold various immortal artifacts, cultivation methods, and heavenly resources. Obviously, the quality of these items was not particularly high.
“Senior, how may we serve you?” An attendant immediately received Jian Chen as soon as he entered the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. They smiled brightly and extremely enthusiastically.
“Bring me your manager. I have some business that I want to personally discuss with your manager,” Jian Chen said calmly. At the same time, the presence of a late Immortal Monarch flashed past.
A jade tablet hung on the attendant’s waist. When Jian Chen leaked his presence, the jade tablet immediately flickered with indigo light.
The attendant glanced at the jade tablet. When she saw that it was flickering with indigo light, her expression changed slightly. A sense of respect appeared within her smile.
“Please come upstairs and take a seat, senior. I’ll contact the manager immediately.” The attendant led the way enthusiastically and politely. The three of them vanished from the first floor of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance very quickly.
With Jian Chen’s departure, the first floor of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance was immediately thrown into an uproar. Many immortals raised a ruckus excitedly.
“Did you see that? The attendant’s tablet lit up with indigo light earlier…”
“The tablets that the attendants of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance carry around can distinguish presences. They have a total of seven colours, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It’s said that only the presences of Immortal Emperors or those above Immortal Emperors will make it light up with violet. Meanwhile, indigo corresponds to Immortal Monarchs…”
“I never thought I’d actually run into an Immortal Monarch today. Even among the eight organisations, experts like that are great elders…”
“I’ve stayed in the Immortal Rising City for over a hundred thousand years. The strongest experts I’ve seen are Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals. This is the first time I’ve ever witnessed an Immortal Monarch…”
To immortals from modest backgrounds that lacked strength, Immortal Monarchs were indeed legendary figures.
As a result, Jian Chen’s appearance had a great impact on many of the regular immortals.
At this moment, Jian Chen had already entered a guest room of classical aesthetics with Jing Feng and Jing Mumu on the fifth floor of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. There were all sorts of fruits and teas on the table to receive them.
A middle-aged woman with a noble presence sat before them. She did not wear any makeup. She was naturally born with beauty. Her bright, phoenix eyes sparkled with insight.
Her strength had already reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Monarch.
“I am Wang Miaomiao. I am responsible for all of the affairs in the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. May I ask what you need, fellow?” Wang Miaomiao stared at Jian Chen with interest, but she was rather uncertain about his strength.
To her, Jian Chen’s presence was like mist. She could not grasp it properly. Sometimes, she could clearly sense he was an Immortal Monarch like her, but at other times, he felt as profound as the ocean, completely immeasurable.
“I need the heavenly resources listed on here, the more the better. If possible, I want more than a hundred thousand of each.” Jian Chen took out a list and passed it over to Wang Miaomiao. He really did not mind having as many of the materials for refining Godking pills as possible. Apart from the high grade Godking grass, he also had many stalks of Godking grass of other qualities.
He had originally prepared these stalks of Godking grass for practice. There was an extremely large amount of them, so he still had many remaining even now.
These lower grade Godking grass were critical for nurturing sacrificial soldiers.
Wang Miaomiao accepted Jian Chen’s list and took a glance. Immediately, she furrowed her brows and said, “The quality of the heavenly resources on here aren’t high, but the quantity you require is far too great. If you only need around ten thousand of each, then our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance can gather them within three days, but if it’s more than a hundred thousand, we won’t be able to assemble them in such a short time frame.”
“That’s because the environment of the Hall Brilliance Heaven makes it impossible to grow some of these heavenly resources. They’re extremely difficult to nurture, so we have to go to other heavens to purchase them for you.”
“As a result, our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance can gather a hundred thousand stalks of certain heavenly resources. The others will be relatively difficult.”
“Get me ten thousand of each first. I hope you can gather them as quickly as possible. The price is not an issue,” Jian Chen said.
“Hehehehe, as long as you can afford it, fellow, our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance will obviously gather everything you need in the shortest time possible.” Wang Miaomiao smiled resplendently and continued, “Please make a down payment and come back in three days’ time to collect the goods from our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. We will prepare ten thousand of each heavenly resource for you first, fellow. As for the remaining, we will do our best to gather them, but we will need some time.”
Jian Chen was not stingy. He handed over a sizeable amount of immortal crystals without hesitation. The value of the immortal crystals was enough to make any Immortal Monarch go crazy. It could even tempt some Immortal Emperors.
“You can treat the remaining amount as down payment for gathering the goods from the other heavens,” Jian Chen said calmly.
When she saw Jian Chen’s down payment, Wang Miaomiao’s breathing halted instantly. Despite everything she had seen in her life, she had still been quite startled from how Jian Chen handed over such a great sum of resources so casually.
But very soon, she recovered and smiled even more brightly. Clearly, there was some additional respect, as well as some deeply-hidden fear and caution.
“You sure are generous, fellow. No regular person can produce such a great sum of resources. Even the net worth of some relatively powerful Immortal Emperors probably comes nowhere close to this payment you made. You must come from some ancient peak organisation, right?” Wang Miaomiao asked casually.
“You don’t have to investigate my origins. You can just focus on handling your end of the business,” Jian Chen said calmly.
“I’m only asking. I hope it doesn’t lead to any ill will. The goods and services that our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance offers covers an extremely great range. Not only can we purchase goods, but we can also resolve problems, sell information, give cultivation guidance, solve mysteries, pass on experiences, and so on. If you have any other needs, please come to our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance at any time.”
“Resolve problems? How so?” Jian Chen asked curiously.
“That’s simple. There are two methods. First, we can send experts for negotiations and compromise. Secondly, it is killing people!” Wang Miaomiao smiled deeply and said, “Of course, the price is very high. Regular people can’t afford it.”
