The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 204 Behind the Scenes
"Warlock!"

Duan Lei stared at Li Yan who got off the carriage. His body shape suddenly changed and turned into a residual shadow, and pounced towards Li Yan.

He knew that the sorcerer's magic was strange and he had to solve it first before he could secure victory.

Li Yan didn't even look at it. He stretched out his hand and a fire snake suddenly emerged from his fingertips and directly pierced Duan Lei's body.

A wound as thick as a finger appeared on Duan Lei's abdomen.

No blood flowed out of the wound, which was burned black by the scorching fire snake.

Duan Lei was mobilizing his energy and blood to perform a secret technique.

After receiving this blow, the blood in his body seemed to be burned several percent.

The strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant. A feeling of powerlessness emerged from his body, making his steps slow down and his head dizzy. Finally, he staggered and fell in front of Li Yan.

A seventh-rank warrior was subdued by Li Yan's magic in just one move.

Xia Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Yan in surprise.

She understood that Li Yan could deal with Duan Lei because she knew that Li Yan had an offensive weapon.

After all, Li Yan entered the Stargazing Pavilion, so it is impossible for him to be without magical weapons to protect himself.

The power that a sorcerer can exert by wielding a magical weapon is enough to fight against opponents of higher levels.

But he didn't expect that Li Yan didn't use any magic weapon, but just performed a spell and easily seriously injured Duan Lei.

With such strength, even an eighth-grade warlock would find it difficult to achieve.

At least one has to reach the level of a seventh-grade sorcerer to have such means.

"No wonder my father specially allowed my ninth brother to practice sorcery. It has only been a short time and he has already entered the seventh rank!"

Xia Yao was amazed at the strength displayed by Li Yan, and at the same time, she felt much more at ease.

The stronger Li Yan is, the greater the chance that they will return to Daxia together.

After all, the journey is long. If the two of them are only at the eighth level, it is not easy to return to Daxia.

"After this battle, I am not far from the seventh rank."

"When I reach the seventh rank, I will join forces with my ninth brother. Even if we encounter a sixth rank expert, we will be able to deal with him, and the journey back to Daxia will be safer."

Xia Yao was thinking in her heart, with a strange look in her eyes.

Her confidence in their return to Daxia increased a lot, and she said to Li Yan: "I didn't expect that you, my ninth brother, have already entered the seventh rank, and you even hid it from me!"

Li Yan smiled faintly and said, "It's just a small breakthrough."

Seeing that Li Yan didn't want to say more, Xia Yao didn't mention it anymore and turned to look at Duan Lei.

The seventh-rank warrior who had been fighting with her to a standstill just now had now become like a dead dog, falling to the ground, unable to move even a finger.

On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Lanfeng, with his guards, almost killed all the men in black who were trapped by magic, leaving only a few to torture and interrogate.

Wang Lanfeng walked over, looking at Li Yan and the others with complicated eyes, and bowed to them and thanked them: "Thank you for your help, otherwise I and the people from the Rock Chamber of Commerce would be in great danger."

Duan Lei, who is at the seventh-grade warrior level, and the warriors under Duan Lei, would definitely not be able to resist if it weren't for Li Yan and Xia Yao.

The biggest possibility is that the entire army will be wiped out.

Xia Yao smiled and said, "Brother Wang is willing to take us to Haiyun City, so we should naturally repay his kindness."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Wang Lanfeng began to extract information from the captives and Duan Lei.

With Li Yan casting spells, even though Duan Lei and the others wanted to hide the truth, they had no choice but to tell the truth under Li Yan's magic.

After learning the truth, Wang Lanfeng's face was filled with worry.

It turned out that behind Duan Lei was a force in Haiyun City called Tianxing Chamber of Commerce. It was also Tianxing Chamber of Commerce that told Duan Lei the news that Qianshi City was transporting the Youlan Stone Mine, and secretly instructed Duan Lei to come and rob this batch of goods.

What worries Wang Lanfeng is that the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce is the buyer of this batch of Youlan stone mines.

"The Tianxing Chamber of Commerce said it was buying goods, but on the other hand, it secretly sent people to rob the goods. How can there be such a chamber of commerce in this world!"

Xia Yao's face was filled with anger.

Wang Lanfeng sighed and said, "Now that this has happened, I don't know whether I should continue to deliver this batch of goods to the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce."

The Youlan Stone Mine is very valuable. Once the news spreads, he will not be able to keep this batch of Youlan Stone Mine at all, so he must act as soon as possible.

Li Yan turned his eyes and asked softly, "Is Tianxing Chamber of Commerce the only chamber of commerce in Haiyun City?"

Wang Lanfeng shook his head and said, "Of course not. Haiyun City is located in the East China Sea, and the waterway is very smooth. It is a major transportation route, so many large chambers of commerce have branches stationed in Haiyun City."

"In addition to the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, there are other large chambers of commerce. There are even the Sifang Chamber of Commerce and the Yuanhang Chamber of Commerce, two of the top chambers of commerce."

"These two chambers of commerce have branches in the thirteen countries of the Southern Region, and their strength is even stronger than that of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce."

Li Yan's eyes moved slightly.

He felt that if he wanted to return to Daxia, he might have to contact these two major chambers of commerce.

After all, how could an ordinary chamber of commerce have the ability to transport goods to Daxia?

If he and Xia Yao want to return to Daxia via trade routes, they can probably only do so through the channels of these two major chambers of commerce.

Xia Yao's eyes lit up.

She also thought of this and looked at Li Yan expectantly, wanting to see if Li Yan had any way to contact these two major chambers of commerce.

"Since the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce is dishonest, there is no need to sell this batch of goods to them."

"Perhaps we can make some concessions and sell it to the Sifang Chamber of Commerce or the Yuanhang Chamber of Commerce. If we can establish a relationship with these two chambers of commerce, I think the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce will not dare to take action against your Qianshi City."

Wang Lanfeng's heart moved when he heard this.

What Li Yan said was exactly what he wanted.

Because he didn't want to deal with the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce anymore.

"In that case, I will go to the Sifang Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Lanfeng said in a firm tone.

The Sifang Chamber of Commerce has an excellent reputation and a good reputation outside. I think it will definitely not be like the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce has a huge influence in Haiyun City. As long as he can get the protection of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce will never dare to attack him again.

After dealing with the traitor in the caravan and Duan Lei and others, the caravan set sail again and continued to head towards Haiyun City.

After seeing Li Yan's strength, the guards no longer had any fear about the journey ahead and they moved a little faster.

After walking for more than ten days, the group finally arrived at Haiyun City.

"What a big city!"

Xia Yao looked at him in amazement. The wall of this city was more than ten feet high, and the huge city gate could accommodate many carriages and people entering and exiting at the same time.

The caravan followed the flow of traffic and slowly approached the city gate.

Wang Lanfeng's goods are valuable, so of course he is not comfortable leaving them outside.

He planned to rent a warehouse in the city first and put it there.

Then go to the Sifang Chamber of Commerce and sell these goods.
