Chapter 52: Hosting the Trade Fair
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The White Jade Market was the second largest market in the Shen Immortal Family after the Thousand Willow Market.
Now that the Thousand Willow Market was severely damaged, the Shen Immortal Family had shifted most of their assets to the White Jade Market.
It could be said that the current White Jade Market was already the largest market under the jurisdiction of the Shen Immortal Family.
It could provide the Shen Immortal Family with at least 100,000 spirit stones every year.
At this moment, in a building called the White Jade Palace in the White Jade Market.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were reading the dossier on the recent situation of the White Jade Market while listening to the reports of the people present.
This was the third day since they arrived at the White Jade Market.
It had to be said that there were a lot of things involved in the management of a market.
This included maintaining the safety of the market, implementing the system of the market, inquiring about the various things in the market, and establishing connections with the markets under the jurisdiction of the other Violet Palace Realm families or sects.
If Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had to do all these things themselves, how would they have the time to cultivate and improve themselves?
Therefore, they had already thought about what to do before coming.
They would only control the overall situation of the market and attend a few key events.
As for the rest, they could leave it to the subordinates to handle.
After all, in the cultivation world where the winner took it all, nothing was more important than one’s strength.
At this moment, the couple had already finished hearing the reports from the people present.
Shen Ruyan said to an old man in his seventies named Shen Bohong,
“Elder Bohong, I’ll need you and the others to take care of the matters in the market. If there’s no need, my husband and I don’t want to be disturbed.
Alright, if there’s nothing else, that’s all for now.”
Shen Bohong and the others nodded.
A middle-aged woman called Shen Feiyan said, “Elders, the large-scale trade fair will be held in three days. I’m afraid we still need you to preside over this event.”
“No problem.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded.
Shen Ruyan said, “We know about this. When the time comes, we will be in charge of hosting it.”
Shen Bohong, Shen Feiyan, and the others did not stay any longer. After bowing to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they left.
Shen Ruyan turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan and said with a smile,
“Husband, in three days, let’s go to the trade fair together.
At that time, we can see if there is anything we want to exchange.
Especially the Heaven Essence Pill that can help you break through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Before the demon beast riot arrives, you and I should increase our strength as much as we can.”
As they spoke, the two of them had already packed up the things on the table in front of them and walked into the cultivation room.
At the same time.
Xiong Wandao, Shen Changnian, Shen Daofeng, and Shen Baifei had also followed their ancestor, Shen Yuanlong, to the Ganyang Sect.
As soon as they arrived at the Ganyang Sect, they saw Shen Mcngxue, who had come out to receive them.
Shen Mcngxue still had a head of white hair.
However, Shen Yuanlong acutely sensed that there seemed to be an additional death aura on his sister.
He asked nervously,
“Sister, what’s happening to you?”
“It’s nothing.”
Shen Mcngxue smiled and shook her head.
“Previously, pecking at the heavenly secret consumed some of my lifespan.”
At this point, Shen Mengxue’s face slowly turned solemn.
She looked at Shen Yuanlong and changed the topic.
“Brother, I have a bad feeling about the Ganyang Sect’s operation this time. Remember, you and the others from the Shen family have to stay away from Elder Nangong. Try to stay as far away as possible.
I haven’t told anyone about this. Remember not to mention it to anyone.”
The Elder Nangong Shen Mcngxue was talking about was the Golden Core Realm immortal from the Ganyang Sect, who was in charge of this operation.
This made Shen Yuanlong’s heart heavy for no reason.
Shen Yuanlong had never taken his sister’s reminder lightly.
Because of her reminder, the Shen Immortal Family managed to stay clear of many disasters.
This time, it was even more serious.
It was very likely that they would lose their life.
Three days after Shen Yuanlong and the others arrived at the Ganyang Sect, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were in the White Jade Market, arrived at a place called the Cloud Immortal Pavilion.
This was also the venue for the trade fair.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the Cloud Immortal Pavilion, they saw that many cultivators had already gathered here.
Among many strange faces, Jiang Chengxuan recognized some of the people who he had seen at the trade fair at the market under the Flowing Cloud Sect.
They were Wan Donglai of the Flowing Cloud Sect, Yan Junlan of the Sunset Sect, Ye Feichcn of the Ye Immortal family, and a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator called Gu Zhenming of the Eternal Sky Sect.
On the other hand, Shen Ruyan knew most of the people present.
As she walked, she introduced the people present to Jiang Chengxuan via voice transmission.
“That’s the Foundation Establishment Realm elder of the Zhang Immortal family, Zhang Kaixuan. That’s the independent cultivator, Huang He. The one on the right seems to be called Bai Hao. His nickname is Mad Swordsman. He’s a true sword cultivator.”
At this moment, Yan Junlan of the Sunset Sect walked over and greeted Jiang Chengxuan with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, long time no see.”
Then, she looked curiously at Shen Ruyan, who was beside Jiang Chengxuan.
It seemed that she didn’t know Shen Ruyan.
Therefore, Jiang Chengxuan took the initiative to introduce, “Fellow Daoist Yan, let me introduce you. This is my Dao companion, Shen Ruyan.”
Then, he looked at Shen Ruyan and said,
“Ruyan, this is Fellow Daoist Yan Junlan of the Sunset Sect. She’s also Fellow Daoist Qiu Yishui’s junior sister.”
“So you’re Fellow Daoist Jiang’s Dao companion. Nice to meet you.”
Yan Junlan immediately cupped her hands at Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan returned the greeting with a smile.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan looked at Yan Junlan and couldn’t help but ask curiously,
“By the way, Fellow Daoist Yan, is Fellow Daoist Qiu not with you this time?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan mention Qiu Yishui, Yan Junlan looked worried. She shook her head and said,
“This time, she was summoned to the Ganyang Sect. I don’t know if there will be any danger..”
