Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3045: Chapter 83: Hello! Overbearing Tycoon Senior Brother (2)

This man is the Alliance Hierarch of the only righteous force in the Southern Blaze Divine Continent, the Heavenly Dao Alliance — the Taoist Master of Tian Yan.

Of course, the title of Taoist Master of Tian Yan is also inherited from the previous generation. Every Alliance Hierarch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance has been called the Taoist Master of Tian Yan, passed down unchanged through generations.

As the face and backbone of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he is considered quite young among the Taoist Masters. At over sixty thousand years old, it’s certainly not an exaggeration to call him ”young and vigorous.”

He has been waiting here for two decades, waiting for this opportunity. Now that the time has come, he is naturally in a good mood. With just a few words, a sense of bold confidence befitting a Taoist Master-level combatant arises spontaneously.

”Master, you’re so good to me.” Junior Sister Xuan Ying was overwhelmed with excitement. ”Senior Brother Youzong, I’m going to change clothes. I don’t want to miss the marketplace festival that only happens once every two thousand years.”

With that, she flickered into a shadow and disappeared from the small courtyard.

After she left, Senior Brother Youzong approached the Taoist Master of Tian Yan and happily congratulated him, ”Congratulations, Master, you’ve finally received word from that person.”

”Hehe~” The Taoist Master of Tian Yan smoothed his beard, his eyes containing a hint of laughter, ”If it’s truly as mentioned in that person’s letter, then the opportunity to change the destiny of our Heavenly Dao Alliance has indeed arrived.”

Taking advantage of his master’s good mood, Senior Brother Youzong rubbed his fingers with a wry smile and indicated to his master, ”Master...you know, Junior Sister is always extravagant when shopping.”

”?” The Taoist Master of Tian Yan’s gaze paused, responding with mock annoyance, ”What? I ask you to accompany your junior sister shopping, and you’re asking me to pay?”

”Master...” Senior Brother Youzong was almost in tears, ”I barely have enough money for my own cultivation, where would I get money to buy things for Junior Sister? Among the Four Great Divine Continents, I’m most likely the poorest Golden Immortal Seed in the True Immortal Realm.”

”Sigh~ Forget it, forget it~ Once the alliance with the Primordial Taoist Palace is achieved, our Heavenly Dao Alliance will improve.” The Taoist Master of Tian Yan sighed, eventually reaching into his Storage Ring.

After rummaging around for a while, he reluctantly pulled out five Immortal Spirit Stones, considered, then put three back and handed the remaining two to Senior Brother Youzong: ”Use them sparingly, don’t squander them wildly, and the rest can subsidize your cultivation expenses.”

”Yes, Master.”

Senior Brother Youzong responded respectfully.

In the afternoon, the sun was pleasantly warm.

At the core area of Wu Xiang Demon City.

With the black market auction approaching, in recent years, merchants, sects, independent cultivators, and even people from the other three overseas continents have gradually gathered in Wu Xiang Demon City.

Some major powers often rent storefronts at high prices to sell their specialties.

Meanwhile, independent cultivators and small organization forces, as well as itinerant traders, pay for stalls to set up within the designated marketplace.

This central city district, home to several commercial zones, is the first choice for visiting merchants to lease shops and set up stalls. Visiting guests intending to shop also tend to come here first, making it increasingly bustling in recent years, with the foot traffic on the streets multiplying many times over.

With merchants from the Four Great Divine Continents converging here, there are hardly any weak forces daring to conduct business. This results in an incredibly rich variety of products, with a dazzling array of choices, making it the most diverse in the Four Great Divine Continents.

Truly, it’s a case of endless possibilities and abundant choices—only imagination limits what you can find here.

If the money in your pocket is sufficient, this place is undoubtedly a shopper’s paradise.

”So lively.”

Junior Sister Xuan Ying happily wandered between the stalls, feeling dazzled and excited, her joy evident on her face.

When she saw something she liked or delicious food, she haggled with the vendors before buying it, while Senior Brother Youzong constantly paid behind her.

Fortunately, most things Junior Sister Xuan Ying bought were novel rather than high in value. With two full Immortal Spirit Stones on hand, Senior Brother Youzong felt much more at ease.

”Senior Brother, Senior Brother, look, that store is so magnificent, so luxurious~ Oh... it’s actually the most famous [Wu Xiang Mall] in Wu Xiang Demon City.” Junior Sister Xuan Ying, munching on a giant spicy braised gryphon wing, suddenly pointed with her greasy fingers towards a luxurious building in the distance, jumping up excitedly.

”I heard that this Wu Xiang Mall was painstakingly crafted by the Tai Yin Ming Spirit Tree itself, featuring exotic items from all corners of the land, even treasures from overseas.”

Wu Xiang Mall!!

Senior Brother Youzong’s heart trembled slightly, sensing something ominous.

Most likely, the remaining Immortal Spirit Stones cannot be preserved!

He had long heard of the mall’s great reputation, known as the number one ”gold sinkhole” for female cultivators in the Four Great Divine Continents, specializing in selling accessories, clothing, beauty, and cosmetic items aimed at female cultivators.

Both the Bliss Demon City and Ten Thousand Demons City have branches of Wu Xiang Mall.

It’s said that the Nether Soul Hall even planned to open Wu Xiang Mall in East Xia God Continent but was firmly rejected by the Dongxia God Emperor.

Can you believe, the most profitable entity in the entire Southern Blaze Divine Continent is a tree!

This also causes the Nether Soul Hall, one of the four top Taoist Master-level forces in the Southern Blaze Divine Continent—though only slightly more numerous than the weakest Heavenly Dao Alliance—to be the wealthiest organization.

There are even rumors that the Tai Yin Ming Spirit Tree is a money-hungry tree disguised with Minghun tree bark, the kind that can’t resist moving for Chaos Spirit Stones!
