"Fellow Daoist Jiao, I wonder what the origin of this Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is? Wanfa, what a big statement! Is it possible that this chamber of commerce really has tens of thousands of techniques?" Li Fan asked immediately.
"To talk about the Ten Thousand Laws Chamber of Commerce, it can be traced back to the period after the massacre and before the new order was established." Jiao Xiuyuan explained for Li Fan.
"This period is usually called the Wasteland Era."
"At that time, the number of monks dropped to its lowest point. The monks who survived the disaster were all true loners. They were alone and would not trust anyone else except themselves."
"Monks live and hide in the wilderness, explore and travel among the ruins, looking for opportunities."
"A person's energy is limited, and sometimes they can't practice even if they find extra skills. At this time, they will naturally think of using the skills to exchange other useful things with other monks."
"But in that era, the mutual trust between monks had been infinitely close to zero. If you want to successfully conduct transactions, a middleman that everyone trusts is naturally indispensable."
"The Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is one of these former middlemen. It is also the only organization that can still exist after the establishment of the Wanxian Alliance and the Five Elders Association."
"In the wasteland era, the number of monks was rare. However, there was no shortage of skills. A monk could often carry several skills that were either stolen or obtained by chance."
"It was at that time that the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce accumulated an unimaginable amount of skills. This is why it has stood for thousands of years and is still in existence today."
Jiao Xiuyuan slowly explained the ins and outs of Wanfa Chamber of Commerce.
When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be said that behind this Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is a certain powerful person in the immortal realm? Ordinary Hedao monks may not be able to protect so many skills."
Jiao Xiuyuan nodded: "The vast majority of monks think so too. Now both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association have acquiesced in the existence of the Ten Thousand Laws Chamber of Commerce. If these two behemoths can make some concessions, the monks behind it,
Of course, they cannot be weak. But the true identity of such strong people is far beyond what we little people can know."
Li Fan calmly praised: "Taoist friend Qianlitang's business has spread all over the world of immortality, so he can't be considered a small person."
Then he asked with some confusion: "According to fellow Taoist, the business of these Wanfa merchants has been recognized by the Wanxian Alliance. But why have I never seen them in the Wanxian Alliance's headquarters? Even the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce that involves mortal business
, I have only seen the Chamber of Commerce walking around, but I have never seen their shops."
"Haha, both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association have their own independent and sound trading systems, so how can they let the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce come in to grab business? Although the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce today is recognized by the two giants, its scale is huge.
It’s not as good as before, we can only survive in the cracks.” Jiao Xiuyuan smiled.
"The Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is currently only active in the border areas of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association. In these places, dragons and snakes are mixed, the control of both parties is relatively weak, and there are a large number of casual cultivators. A neutral organization like the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is
Organizing business makes people feel more at ease."
"Furthermore, the Wanxian Alliance and the Wulaohui each have a wide variety of specialties on their respective territories. Although there is official trade between the Wanxian Alliance and the Wulaohui in non-war years. But those comparisons
Important strategic materials are generally not included in the exchange list."
"And these materials do have a large demand. Therefore, "transfer" through the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce has become a solution."
"Of course, the price is naturally much higher. Sometimes it is doubled several times, which is normal."
"For example, there is a pill in the Wu Lao Hui called Enlightenment Pill. It is said to be the secret of the ancient Dao Sect. After swallowing it, it can increase the affinity of the Dao Law to oneself, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of enlightenment.
,increase the speed of cultivation."
Li Fan was stunned: "Isn't that similar to the spiritual awakening effect of Tianxuan Mirror?"
"Yes. What's even more wonderful is that the effect of the Enlightenment Pill can be perfectly superimposed with the effect of Enlightenment. Enlightenment improves one's own understanding, while the Enlightenment Pill reduces the difficulty of enlightenment. The combination of the two, the internal and external complementation, makes cultivation incredibly fast." Jiao Xiuyuan
Tsk-tsk and praise.
"The Enlightenment Pill Alliance has been coveting it for a long time. But after trying various methods, it just couldn't be cracked. So every year, a limited number can only be introduced through the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce."
"This Enlightenment Pill, at the Five Elders Association, is said to only cost fifty low-grade spiritual stones each, which is our fifty contribution points. It is almost like giving it away for free. But at the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce, because there are too many monks and too little rice,
Because. The price has skyrocketed tenfold, and the contribution level is basically 500 points per pill."
"Even so, we can't count the number of monks who are willing to buy it. I can't help it, who said this thing is so useful!" Jiao Xiuyuan sighed.
Li Fan's clone pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "I once heard a Jindan monk accidentally mention the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm and the Advance Realm. In the Advance Realm, it seems that anonymous transactions can be carried out. Could it be that Wanxian
Can’t the monks between the Alliance and the Five Elders Association do this?"
Jiao Xiuyuan was a little surprised: "Do you even know about the existence of fellow Taoists in the advance realm?"
After thinking about it, he explained in a low voice: "In the past, there was no problem in doing this."
"But later, such convenient and secretive trading methods gave rise to a lot of speculation, buying and selling, and the price of goods in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association was once out of control. Spies even took the opportunity to cause trouble and steal teleportation
A lot of confidential information."
"Later, the two powerful men from both sides took action at the same time and drew two [great gaps] respectively."
"From now on, the monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association can no longer communicate with each other through the advance realm."
"Once the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance want to enter the advance realm whose spatial coordinates are located in the area of the Five Elders Association, their spiritual consciousness will be blocked by two [Great Gap]. In the same way, the same is true for the Five Elders Association.
”
Li Fan nodded slowly.
"I understand. So, if I want to purchase exercises through the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce, I have to go there in person?"
"Yes. The nearest stronghold of the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is located in Jiushan Prefecture, close to Yongliang Prefecture." Jiao Xiuyuan further instructed, "This Jiushan Prefecture is not peaceful. If fellow Taoists really want to go, they can meet with other
Monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, let’s meet together.”
"It's good to take care of each other on the road."
"Thanks for the advice, fellow Taoist. It's a long way and the risk is a bit high. I'll think about it again!" Li Fan responded.
Here, Li Fan searched for information about Cong Yunhai's trip to Jiushan Prefecture in Tianxuan Mirror.
As expected, there are many monks recruiting teammates.
