Hao Yun stood on the street under the tallest building in Lingdu City and looked up. Although it was not as exaggerated as towering into the clouds, the forty-nine-story Chamber of Commerce Organization Headquarters stood against the backdrop of a bunch of two- and three-story buildings in Lingdu City. The building looks so majestic and spectacular. It is hundreds of meters high. The body of the building is piled with iron-colored stones and jointed with gold water. The spire of the building is like a structure. There are four cornices hanging with copper bells. When the breeze blows, it will "ding". "Ding dong dong" started playing. Since the roof of the building was far away from the ground, the sound of the bells became more ethereal and elegant when it reached the ground. Hao Yun walked up the nine white jade steps and looked up to see a vermilion door with a plaque on top of it and three characters on the plaque: "Heqi Tower".
Hao Yun couldn't understand at all. For cultivators in the spiritual world, fights were commonplace. This building was so conspicuous that it was simply the primary target of the house demolition team. It was too high-profile and dangerous.
Hao Yun raised the question to Master Li, and Master Li smiled: "If our chamber of commerce organization is not high-profile, how can we attract major business people in the spiritual world to join us? This building is a flag. As long as it does not fall down, it represents our chamber of commerce organization. Being able to provide a variety of services to our members, there is no need to worry anymore, just do business in a down-to-earth manner and let us solve other problems."
Feifei held the lapel of Master Li's clothes and said softly: "Master, please don't scare Hao Yun by bragging. It makes our chamber of commerce seem to be particularly powerful. He is also a descendant of Lingdi Fang's family. What if he goes back?" What should I do if I say a few words to Lord Ling Emperor about our Chamber of Commerce organization and make Lord Ling Emperor unhappy and knock on his door?"
"Hey, Hao Yun is so capable, can he talk to Emperor Ling?" Master Li didn't believe it.
"Master, you really made a mistake. When I returned to the Fang family this time, it was under the guidance of Lord Ling Emperor that I broke through to the Golden Core stage." Feifei answered seriously.
"Really? What kind of technique requires the guidance of Lord Ling Emperor to break through the golden elixir stage?" Master Li frowned and looked at Hao Yun.
Hao Yun understood that this was for him to answer: "Back to Master Li, this is a five-element all-system technique, which is relatively difficult, so I can only succeed in breaking through it under the guidance of Lord Ling Emperor."
"So that's it. Sure enough, Classmate Hao must be the only cultivator of all five elements in the spiritual world!" Master Li touched his mustache with his hands.
"Okay, don't talk here, let's go in!" Feifei took Master Li's right arm and asked Hao Yun to hurry into the building together.
After Hao Yun entered the building, Master Li signaled that he and Feifei would have a meeting later. After all, Hao Yun was an outsider and it was not convenient for him to attend. Let the waiter take Hao Yun to the tea room on the top floor, where he can drink tea and look at the scenery of Lingdu City, so that he won't be bored if he waits for too long.
Hao Yun felt that this arrangement was very good. It was really embarrassing for him to attend this kind of meeting. It would be good to go to the top meeting organized by the Chamber of Commerce on the top floor and experience it.
The waiter led Hao Yun to the middle elevator directly to the top of the building. Hao Yun was more interested in this and asked the waiter how this elevator was implemented. The waiter answered very appropriately, with a bit of pride in his words. It turns out that the wealthy chamber of commerce spent a lot of money on the construction of their landmark building in the spiritual world, and the annual maintenance cost was also very high. The entire building was decorated The protective array, when fully activated, can resist the attacks of the late stage of transformation. However, the normal operating power of this array is only 30%, so the amount of spiritual crystals consumed in a year is astronomical. The interior decoration of this building is relatively luxurious, with many convenient small The magic circle, such as this elevator, uses the principle of air pressure to control the air pressure through the magic circle so that people can reach the desired floor. The design is very exquisite. Of course, the entire building serves as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and the floors are planned for many business formats, such as hotels, shopping malls, auction houses and other facilities. In short, this building is also the largest gold-selling cave in the entire spiritual world, and it is a place that everyone in the spiritual world longs for.
Hao Yun couldn't help but marvel in his heart. In every world, businessmen always play the richest role. From this building, we can see the financial resources and strength of the Chamber of Commerce. If they didn't have the ability, they would have been destroyed long ago.
The waiter arranged Hao Yun in a private room in the Beiling Hall of the top-floor club. The decoration style of the room was simple and elegant. It was completely different from the red and gold luxury outside. It was fresh and unconventional, with white walls combined with light red roof tiles, and continuous The arches, cloisters, and the living room with tall windows make people's hearts flutter.
The window faced the reservoir where the college was located, as well as the mountains next to the reservoir where the Fang family was located. The scenery was so beautiful and picturesque that Hao Yun even lost track of time standing in front of the window.
"How about it? The scenery here is nice, isn't it?" A middle-aged man's voice came from behind Hao Yun.
Hao Yun had noticed this man before he came in. After all, he had no intention of hiding it.
"The scenery is really great! May I ask who you are, senior?" Hao Yun turned around, bowed his hands and asked. This man is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, with broad shoulders and a black beard on his white face that looks a bit grey. His big eyes are very flexible and he keeps staring at Hao Yun.
"Hao Yun, right? I'm a member of the Chamber of Commerce. I was notified just now that a distinguished guest came to your door and asked me to come and chat with you. My surname is Xing, so you can call me Mr. Xing! Come on, sit down and let's drink tea. Let’s chat.” Mr. Xing pointed at the tea table and asked Hao Yun to sit down.
When Hao Yun heard that his surname was Xing, he thought to himself, could this be Feifei's family?
After Hao Yun sat down, he asked: "How can Xiaosheng be considered a distinguished guest? It really offends me. Thank you for your warm hospitality. I wonder if Mr. Xing knows Xing Feifei?"
Mr. In front of Hao Yun.
"Try this tea to suit your taste!"
Hao Yun respectfully held the porcelain cup with both hands and placed it in front of him. The aroma of tea came to his nose. Hao Yun saw that the tea soup was clear and rosy in color. He knew that this was the best black tea in the spiritual world. He took a small sip and the tea soup swirled in his mouth. , fragrant and mellow with endless aftertaste.
Hao Yun blurted out: "Good tea!"
Mr. Xing was a little different: "Do you know how to drink tea?"
Hao Yun drank it all in one gulp and put the porcelain cup back on the tea table: "I'm telling Mr. It was cultivated.”
Mr. Xing nodded: "I see, I heard others introduce that you were born as an orphan. You must have suffered a lot when you were a child!"
"It's not hard to say it's hard. I'm used to it anyway, but I am indeed much happier now." Hao Yun was calm.
Mr.
"Then try to hold on to happiness tightly, and Xiaosheng will have confidence in himself." Hao Yun was full of confidence.
"It's not enough to just have confidence in yourself, right?"
"Of course it's not just that. The Fang family has confidence in me, Lord Lingdi has confidence in me, and more importantly, Feifei has confidence in me." Hao Yunxun calmed down.
"I understand that Fang Cangdao has confidence in you. After all, you are his only disciple. Feifei has confidence in you. I also understand that children always put their feelings first. But you said that Emperor Ling has confidence in you. Confidence, are you just talking big words, just because you are a cultivator of all five elements? Maybe someone as proud as Emperor Ling will look down on you!" Mr. Xing analyzed Hao Yun thoroughly without a look on his face.
"The Five Elements system is indeed not very powerful, but it is rare in the spiritual world. I believe it will definitely bring surprises to the spiritual world in the future." Hao Yun's expression did not change.
"Even if you are right, this alone won't impress anyone!" Mr. Xing poured himself a drink.
Hao Yun secretly complained a little, why was it that Mr. Xing showed up when he was having tea and waiting for someone? He also didn't answer about his relationship with Feifei, so he started to argue with each other, meaning that if he couldn't impress him, what? No chance?
Hao Yun doesn't have any hidden trump cards. Apart from his half-assed time spiritual power, he has nothing to say. However, Mr. Xing is so stubborn. If he doesn't do something to convince him, this trip to the chamber of commerce will be in chaos land.
Mr. Xing put down his teacup and looked at Hao Yun with a smile, "This is the general!" He was also unhappy with Hao Yun's arrival. He was a bit pretentious and said that Lord Ling Emperor had confidence in Hao Yun. This was a bit of a boast.
Hao Yun thought for a while and asked: "I wonder what the relationship between senior and Feifei is?"
Mr. Xing was stunned when he was asked, does this kid really have a trump card? Although Mr. Cultivators of all five elements systems are also very powerful beings. What he said just now was just to show that he was bragging a little. Later, when Feifei came up and stirred things up, it was over. It was also regarded as a slap from the elder to the younger one to make him remember a little longer.
Mr. Xing was a little excited: "I am the ancestor of the Xing family, and Feifei is the sixth generation of the Xing family."
"Oh, that's it. If I want to be called Feifei, I have to call her Mrs. Grandpa!" Hao Yun solemnly counted his seniority with his fingers.
"You kid, don't go to such trouble, just call me Mr. Xing!"
"Then you are not an outsider. I didn't know that it was an elder of the Feifei family who came just now, and asked Mr. Tea.
When Mr.
Hao Yun put down the teapot and said to Mr. Xing: "I will pour you a cup of tea as an apology. Please drink tea to Mr. Xing!"
Mr. Xing was a little unhappy. What did this kid do? He picked up the teapot and put it down again. He didn't even pour me any tea! Mr. Mr. Xing had no idea when the empty tea cup in front of him would be filled.
"Time Cultivation Technique, you actually inherited Ling Emperor's Time Cultivation Technique." Mr. Xing suddenly stood up.
"Reluctantly, I haven't formally studied yet." Hao Yun's face turned pale. At that time, when he broke through, he had experience in controlling the spiritual power of time, so he had an idea. After picking up the teapot, he used his spiritual consciousness to contact the spiritual power of time, and let Everything in the outside world slowed down, and then the water spiritual power was used to control the tea soup in the teapot to fall into the tea cup in front of Mr. Xing. But Hao Yun didn't expect how much spiritual energy it would take to speed up the water flow when time slows down. Under normal circumstances, this is a very simple operation that requires almost no spiritual energy. Fortunately, I only use my spiritual consciousness to operate it. If I control my body to complete the action of pouring tea, I guess it will be useless if my spiritual power is drained.
"Not bad, not bad. I now believe that you are qualified to make the Ling Emperor have confidence in you. I didn't expect that you even have the most powerful qualifications in the spiritual world. If you grow up, you will be an enhanced version of the Ling Emperor. There is nothing the Ling Emperor can do." You may not be able to do it!" Mr. Xing looked at Hao Yun, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"No matter what, I'm far behind now and need more help." Hao Yun began to be humble at this time.
"Of course, she can't be like that old witch from Ling Emperor who has her nose raised to the sky. If she could put down some of her body, the spiritual world wouldn't be like this. She's a bomb bag, and the whole spiritual world is waiting for her to ascend to immortality. That day." Mr. Xing obviously had resentment towards Emperor Ling.
"Are you familiar with Lord Lingdi?" Hao Yun asked Mr. Xing curiously.
"I do know her, but she may not remember me!" Xing Laopi said with a smile.
"Oh! I wonder, Mr. Xing, are you satisfied with me?" Hao Yun thought it would be better not to talk about Emperor Ling, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Overall, it's very good. I just think you're a bit trusting. In just a few words, you let it slip."
"You misunderstood. In fact, before coming here, Feifei had told me that the chief elder of the Chamber of Commerce was the patriarch of her family and was very kind to her. But I didn't expect that you would come directly to inspect me. I asked you for further confirmation. Besides, If you were an outsider and could sneak into the core area of the headquarters building at will, then this chamber of commerce organization would have been destroyed by others long ago. So after comprehensive consideration, I believe that you, the old man, should take care of everything. Since you can come to see me as soon as possible, I think I will too Don't waste your time." Hao Yun thought to himself, you are taking advantage of Feifei's absence just to touch me quickly and forcefully. If the ink is on Feifei, even if you pass the test, you will definitely not feel comfortable. You should be satisfied with the ending.
"Well, you are really good." Mr. Xing patted Hao Yun on the shoulder with satisfaction, sat back in his seat, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Hao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his time spiritual power was only supported by his physical body, but fortunately he could still use the time technique. If he had known that Mr. Xing was so difficult to deal with, he should have learned the technique before coming back.
"With an elder like you, how can Feifei still enter the academy? Didn't it say that parents must be ordinary people?" Hao Yun asked.
"Feifei's parents are ordinary people, and they are not members of the Xing family who are cultivators in the spiritual world."
"How is this going?"
"Our Chamber of Commerce organization is a collection of businessmen, so not only businessmen of cultivators, but also mortal businessmen can join. Being a businessman will definitely be more dangerous, so the high-level families of the Chamber of Commerce organization will Split into a family of ordinary people, they don’t practice cultivation, they just do business in a regular manner. Feifei’s Xing family is a family of ordinary people, and they don’t usually associate with our cultivators, the Xing family.”
"Isn't this a bit deceptive?" Hao Yun asked next.
"There were rules in the spirit world back then, and cultivators were not allowed to forcibly interfere in the affairs of ordinary people. Therefore, as long as there are no cultivators in this family, and the family of cultivators does not interfere, such an ordinary family will not be affected by other cultivators. attack. In fact, this rule is also to protect one's own bloodline, and many large families in the spiritual world will also do this. You also know that cultivators have less children. If you don't leave an ordinary bloodline, it is very likely that if you are not careful, the family will disappear. people. Therefore, the family of a cultivator often needs to select people with cultivation qualifications from mortal families to add them. Feifei originally had very good qualifications, but she had not practiced before, so she and the Xing family, a cultivator It has nothing to do with it, but now that she has become a cultivator, she will return to our Xing family."
"That's okay. Does this count as cheating?" Hao Yun had no idea that such operations existed. Now even if the institute knew about this, there was no way to stop or condemn it. After all, the matter was reasonable and legal.
"Haha! You kid is really good at joking. Okay, let's stop talking. Feifei will come up later. I've been talking for a long time and my mouth is dry. Come on, let's have tea together!" Mr. Xing touched his beard and looked at Hao Yun.
Hao Yun immediately understood and started pouring tea and water to serve Mr. Xing.
