Chapter 910

"My fellow Daoist has lofty ambitions, and I admire them, but..." Qingyao was helpless when she heard that Li Ming seemed to have made up his mind, but her expression changed slightly.

Li Ming seemed to have noticed something and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Qingyao, what are your concerns?"

Qingyao shook her head and said, "Before I came to visit you, I heard that you had happened to meet the fifth of the Seven Thieves, Feng Jun. This man..."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Daoist friend, are you going to talk about Huan Kong Dao Wusheng behind them?"

Qingyao was stunned. He hadn't mentioned Shang Zun yet, so how come Huan Kongdao Wusheng came out? But seeing that Li Ming looked confident, he explained instead.

"Let's not talk about how powerful Huankong Dao is. Wusheng is a true Nascent Soul Patriarch, extremely arrogant, and usually protects his subordinates. Daoist friend, you've just arrived and you might not know what's going on. If Daoist friend really wants to become Luo Zhen's disciple, I'm afraid they will interfere if this matter isn't resolved!"

"It's okay, it's okay. I have my own ways. It's just a matter of fighting against the enemy with soldiers and covering the water with earth. I can fly from the Central Plains to here, which is more than 108,000 miles. I have seen all kinds of storms. They can't scare me!" Li Ming said confidently.

When Qingyao saw this, she sighed in her heart and said secretly.

"I originally thought this Taoist had extraordinary abilities, but who knew he would be so arrogant. But this is also good. If so, it would be easier to control. If I can refine Feng Jun with one move, perhaps he can help me eliminate the Seven Thieves, my biggest worry. Otherwise, if they really let Boss Yu succeed in forming a pill..."

Qingyao was deep in thought, but her expression remained unchanged. She turned to talk about other things, using her clever tongue to speak in a way that was full of compliments, but she spoke so well that no one could hear it.

On the left, he said that the world of cultivation in the Central Plains is far superior to the remote overseas areas; on the right, he said that fellow Taoist is handsome and elegant, and has a natural talent for Taoism, and is truly a dragon among men. Everyone who comes here will feel at ease.

After trying it himself, Li Ming gave a thumbs up in his heart. It turned out that to be able to build such a huge business by one person, it really couldn't be done without some skills. He really deserved to be the head of the Chamber of Commerce. Even though Li Ming knew it very well, he still felt very comfortable and happy.

The two of them chatted happily, and Qingyao suddenly sighed and said, "What a pity..."

Li Mingming asked knowingly, "Oh, what's bothering you, fellow Taoist?"

Qingyao simply shook her head, then stood up and said, "You've been nagging me for quite some time today. I have other important matters to attend to, so I can't stay any longer. I've been harassed by the Seven Bandits for a long time. Regardless, I'm grateful for your help in eliminating one of them. Tomorrow, please be sure to visit my residence. I have a small gift for you. So, we'll say goodbye now. Please don't break your promise."

Li Ming looked stunned and wanted to say something, but Qingyao had already left.

After she left, Li Ming's expression changed. He opened his mouth and spit out an invisible air that condensed into a small insect crawling in his hand.

"Humph, you're trying to plot against me with these cunning tricks? As expected, you can't make it in the East China Sea without some skills. If I'm not mistaken, this is just the introduction. The main event will be tomorrow. I just don't know what kind of feast is waiting for me. Please don't let me down..."

…………

Li Ming meditated in this villa for one night. The next day, he tidied up his appearance, still wearing the dark blue Taoist robe and carrying the Qiankun bag, and went to the largest sea tower in the entire Qingyao Islands.

Qingyao had spent a fortune hiring several renowned formation masters from among the independent cultivators to construct this sea tower. Of course, the skills of these so-called masters were not worth mentioning in Li Ming's eyes, but it still looked impressive. The nine-story sea tower was a landmark building here, and the entire structure shone with aura. Besides being beautiful, it also possessed considerable defensive capabilities.

This building is the headquarters of the Qingyao Chamber of Commerce. There are many shops on the nine floors. The lower three floors are mainly for mortals, but many things there are also valuable to those who practice Taoism. The middle three floors are for mortals and casual cultivators. Many wealthy people spend all their wealth to buy things used by mortals.

As for the top three floors, mortals are naturally not allowed to enter, and only cultivators can go up to the building. When the auction is held regularly on the ninth floor, even the Golden Core True Lord will come.

Li Ming was invited, and there was someone waiting for him downstairs in the Hai Tower. As soon as Li Ming arrived, he was immediately invited to go upstairs.

Li Ming took a casual look below and saw that there were mortals in the middle three floors, but not many, so he asked the female attendant next to him.

"I heard that mortals can do business with monks here, but it seems that there are not many people. If I were a mortal, even if I just came to take a look and broaden my horizons, why is it so deserted?"

The woman was a girl of no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. She was extremely beautiful, with skin as smooth as cream. She was a hybrid of human and mermaid, with fewer mermaid features and a touch of mermaid softness that made Li Ming very satisfied.

She whispered, "Master, you may not know. The lower three floors are fine, but to ascend to the middle three floors, you need to verify your wealth. What ordinary people consider a fortune is as light as a ox hair here, worthless. You must have the old appraiser at the entrance verify whether the items you bring are worthy of the Immortal Master. So to ascend, you must first exchange for something of sufficient value on the lower floors. Who would give away all their wealth if they didn't really need something?"

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully and then went up to the seventh floor. This floor was luxuriously decorated and there were waitresses serving and receiving guests everywhere.

On the contrary, there was not a single shop to be seen. There were countless mermaid girls walking back and forth, some holding lanterns, and some holding plates with drinks on them.

In addition to the mermaids, there are also some maids who have low cultivation and can barely transform, such as fox girls and cat girls, and some who are originally birds. These either have the ears, tails and even wings of their original race, or retain some characteristics of other races.

Anyway, walking here really gives a completely different feeling from the outside, as if you have suddenly entered another world.

There is no transaction here, it is all an entertainment venue. The hall is a huge casino, but the gambling tools are all specially made magical instruments that can cut off the perception of those who practice Taoism.

There are also beautiful women playing various musical instruments in your ears, and the sounds of pipa, zither, and string instruments are ringing in your ears. Many spirit beasts that are not yet able to transform into human form can be seen everywhere, and they are smart enough to ask you for elixirs.

Led by the maid, Li Ming went up another floor. The eighth floor was full of private rooms, all of which were separated from each other by forbidden methods.

The maid led Li Ming to a gate carved out of beautiful jade. The entire piece of jade was pure white without a single flaw. Eighteen copper bells were hung in front of the gate, arranged in an orderly manner at different heights.

Li Ming pushed the door open and walked in. A strong fragrance hit his nose. He saw bronze incense burners with animal heads placed in the four corners of the room. He didn't know what kind of incense was lit, but it made people feel warm all over.

At this time, a graceful figure appeared in front of Li Ming.
