Hearing the man's threat, Hua Ruge panicked: "Emissary, where are you talking about? How could we break away from the Eight Immortals Sect? We have no time to curry favor with you."
"You ?" The envoy was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He really wanted to blame Hua Ruge for his crimes, but he was rejected one by one just a moment ago.
"Lord Envoy, please calm your anger. Have a drink of tea and calm down. I will recount what happened again." Hua Ruge was about to speak again.
The emissary interrupted her with a darkened face, "You don't need to say anymore. I will report every word you said to the sect leader. You just need to wait for the sect leader's decision."
"Sir Envoy, I was too anxious to read the letter, I forgot to ask you to say a few words." Hua Ruge said as he walked forward, his spatial ring touching the emissary's.
The envoy immediately felt that there was an extra mountain of spirit stones in the space. They rarely saw that much money in a place like this, so he was immediately stunned.
"As long as the head does not investigate my crimes, I will present you with gifts in the future." Hua Ruge continued to tempt her.
The messenger waved his sleeves and said, "I can speak up for you, but whether or not Sovereign listens is not up to me."
"I understand." Hua Ruge continued to accompany him with laughter.
The emissary felt weak and angry when he saw her face, so he said no more and turned to leave.
When the person walked out of the hall, Hua Ruge once again sat on the chair, a faint smile on his face.
"It seems like you didn't want me to come watch your performance at all. You're pulling me along to perform with you." Mu Qingyan rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.
Hua Ruge laughed, "Isn't that more or less the same?"
"But do you really think Eight Immortals Sect will take this?" Mu Qingyan asked, but in her heart, she felt unsure.
Hua Ruge's voice was very light, but it was filled with certainty: "They will, there's someone under me right now, and there's someone with a bargaining chip. As long as I lower myself, they won't make things difficult for me."
"Are you that sure?"
"This Land of Chaos is not limited to just him alone. Once he infuriates me, I can bring my resources to other sects, and at that time, he will lose both men and soldiers." Hua Ruge said while drinking tea.
Mu Qingyan heard and nodded his head: "What you said makes sense, then what should we do now?"
"Expanding development, you should still send people out to discuss the matter of cooperation, mainly towards the areas where your Eight Immortals Sect's enemies are." Hua Ruge continued.
Mu Qingyan could tell from her smile that she must be scheming against someone, who would be the unlucky one this time around.
"We should start selling our resources too." Hua Ruge said again.
Mu Qingyan nodded.
"Look at those two mines, do you want to retrieve our strength?"
"Yes."
With that, Hua Ruge stretched and said: "Next, we will have to line up and catch big fishes."
After that day, a piece of news spread through the Land of Chaos, and that was that not only did the Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce buy Mirror Break Pellets, they also had all other resources, but they still had a limited supply.
Seeing so many elixirs and immortal artifacts on sale, the people of the entire Land of Chaos were unable to remain calm, and they all rushed towards the city where the auction houses were located.
Some of the auctioneers were soon crushed in the city, and the sects saw the opportunity and began to recruit disciples.
The people of Land of Chaos did not have much of a faith in them, so when they saw that they did not need to run around for more than ten days to buy anything, and these sects' Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce were definitely better off than their previous sects' resources.
As a result, one by one, they submitted.1
After one sect came up with this idea, the other sects followed suit. This way, those who didn't have an auction house would lose a few disciples.
They were now anxious, and took the initiative to look for Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce, preferring not to split the profits between them and the auction house.
Hua Ruge was just waiting for this chance, thus the rise of other auction houses, had become the symbol of success for the sect.
As expected, after Eight Immortals Sect knew of Hua Ruge's attitude, he did not pursue the matter any further. After all, it was he who was at a disadvantage first, and his Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce was much stronger than before.
Furthermore, now that they had started to sell their other resources, they naturally couldn't bear to use their Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce even though they had received ten percent of the profit.
After passing through this crisis, Hua Ruge started to train his troops unrestrainedly. Inside, he adopted the system of levelling up and distributed different resources according to different levels.
This way, the disciples at the bottom level would seize the opportunity to train, and those at the upper level would cultivate day and night, afraid of being caught.
Hua Ruge's side had brought back four thousand people, which was more or less the same for the Nether Emperor s. Adding the Ling Tian Palace's disciples, there were already nine thousand, and there were quite a few experts at the sixth level of the Bitterness Sea Stage.
With this kind of strength, forget about second-rate sects, even first-rate sects would be annihilated in a matter of minutes. The only ones who could possibly contend against them were Eight Immortals Sect and Star Moon Sect.
In comparison to the Eight Immortals Sect being so careless over here due to the sugar-coated artillery shells, the Star Moon Sect over there was actually so anxious that it turned in circles. Although they had obtained a large amount of resources to excavate the treasures before, but now it seems that their Eight Immortals Sect's development was completely inferior to theirs, how could they not be anxious?
Just as he was in a rush, the hall master below reported that the Nine Prefectures Auction House had opened a few sects that were hostile to Eight Immortals Sect. Thus, they speculated that this Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce was not subordinate to Eight Immortals Sect, but rather a merchant guild that wanted to make money and profit.
"Sect Master, why don't we send people to contact Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce? If we can open the auction house here, wouldn't we have money to earn?" The pavilion master said.
"Could this be a trap set by the Eight Immortals Sect?" The Star Moon Sect Master was somewhat puzzled.
That hall master continued, "Your subordinate probably isn't. If this auction house is set up in our territory, then it would be as easy as getting slaughtered. What kind of trap could it possibly have?"
"What you said isn't unreasonable."
"Then, how about we send someone here?"
"Yes, we have over thirty cities of all sizes. As long as they agree to give me ten percent of the profits, we'll let them develop as they please. The Star Moon Sect Master asked.
"Yes." The pavilion master walked down.
The Star Moon Sect Master slightly narrowed her eyes after he left, as she still could not believe that this Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce was completely not controlled by the Eight Immortals Sect. If this was true, then this merchant guild was truly not simple.
That day, when Hua Ruge was eating grapes in the courtyard, a servant walked in and said: "Boss, the messenger is here again."
"It's here again?" Hua Ruge's eyes turned around: "Tell them that I'm in closed door cultivation and that I'm temporarily out of sight."
"But I saw him in a fit of rage, did you really not see him?" the page asked again.
