Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 66 High-End Business Warfare

"The merchants of the Immortal Alliance are really domineering!" Chen Beiwu sighed inwardly.

High-end business battles often employ unpretentious methods.

Chen Beiwu knew he would be targeted before he started the Dendrobium officinale business, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

But there was nothing he could do; he didn't have a Foundation Establishment expert backing him up.

If his grandfather were still alive, the Dendrobium Chamber of Commerce would never have sent a threatening letter, and his Dendrobium officinale business would have grown bigger and bigger.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu put away the letter and the magical artifact, the Corrosive Needle.

Stay calm in any situation.

Although keeping this letter wouldn't allow him to report it to the Immortal Alliance for intimidation and threats from the Purple Dendrobium Merchant Guild, it could be used to motivate his own cultivation.

As for the Dendrobium nobile business, Chen Beiwu felt it was worth continuing.

After all, the laws of the Immortal Alliance are not to be trifled with!

Unspoken rules are ultimately unspoken rules. No matter how rampant the Purple Dendrobium Merchant Guild is, they can't openly assassinate him; at most, they can create some unexpected incidents.

Moreover, this matter was most likely a decision made by the mid-level leaders of the Zihu Chamber of Commerce, and the real senior management of the Chamber of Commerce would not care about his trivial matters at all.

However, to be on the safe side, Chen Beiwu took out his phone and decided to ask the real second-generation cultivators in Yuankong County.

In Yuankong County, at the Xu residence, in the Fire Vein Cultivation Room.

Xu Lingling wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned to look at Old Deng beside her, and said in a spoiled tone, "Dad, I don't want to cultivate the Yang-Nourishing Technique anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xu frowned slightly. "The Yang-Nourishing Technique is a supreme secret method that can enhance spiritual root aptitude. Countless fire-attribute cultivators in Yuan Kong County want to cultivate it but cannot obtain it."

"If I hadn't been born into the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect and hadn't been favored by my master, you wouldn't even have had a chance to cultivate."

"But...but the Yang-Nourishing Technique is too difficult." Xu Lingling pouted: "Ziqing has already cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining and successfully contracted the Crimson Flame Fox, while I'm still stuck at the fifth level of Qi Refining."

"Silly girl." Father Xu shook his head: "Cultivation is not about a moment, but a lifetime. Your fire elemental root purity is 79, only one step away from becoming a heavenly fire elemental root."

"Even if Ziqing can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the college entrance examination, she will still need to go through many tests to enter the Thirteen Immortal Sects. If she performs poorly in the college entrance examination, she may even miss the opportunity to join an Immortal Sect."

"But you are different. If you can cultivate the Yang-Nourishing Technique to a minor level and obtain the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, I have a way to help you enter the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect and form a contract with the sect's exclusive spirit beast, the Heavenly Flame Tiger."

At this point, Master Xu patted Xu Lingling's head: "With the support of the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root and the Heavenly Flame Tiger Three Veins, your future Foundation Establishment is basically a sure thing, and even the Golden Core stage is not out of the question."

"Buzz!"

Just then, Xu Lingling's phone vibrated.

She took out her phone and looked at it. The bitterness on her face disappeared, replaced by an undisguised joy.

"Why aren't you crying anymore? Did that blondie you like call?" Master Xu teased.

"What 'little blondie'?" Hearing this, Xu Lingling pouted. "Dad, you have no idea how outstanding he is!"

"Excellent?" Master Xu chuckled and shook his head.

His wife failed to break through to the Golden Core stage and perished, leaving behind a daughter, Xu Lingling.

Therefore, he attached great importance to this precious daughter and investigated her social relationships thoroughly.

Chen Beiwu came from a family that had fallen on hard times. At the age of sixteen, he was able to cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which could barely be considered outstanding in Yuan Kong County.

In his eyes, there were countless geniuses among the cultivators of the five paths and thirteen states of the Immortal Alliance, and Chen Beiwu was nothing more than an ordinary person among them.

Xu Lingling put a finger to her lips and said in a coquettish tone, "I don't care, Bei Wu finally called me, Dad, please don't say anything yet."

"Alright, alright, alright." Master Xu chuckled.

Although he looked down on Chen Beiwu, he couldn't resist his daughter's affection for him, so he never objected.

Anyway, cultivators have long lifespans, and if their daughter is happy, she can have as many relationships as she wants, as long as it doesn't interfere with her cultivation.

After shushing her, Xu Lingling answered the phone with a bright smile: "Long time no see, Beiwu."

"Are you refining pills?" Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback when he saw the huge pill refining furnace above the fire vein. "How about we talk later?"

"No need, I'm resting right now." Xu Lingling pouted.

After a few pleasantries, Chen Beiwu got straight to the point, "Do you know about the Yuankong County Dendrobium Chamber of Commerce?"

"I know, the Purple Dendrobium Chamber of Commerce has a rather assertive style."

Xu Lingling was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and her voice gradually rose: "Wait, they also deal in Dendrobium nobile, are they causing you trouble?"

"It's not really troublesome, they just gave me a magical artifact, which is a form of mutual encouragement between colleagues."

Chen Beiwu smiled and changed the subject: "Lingling, do you know the specifics of the Zihu Chamber of Commerce, and who's in charge?"

Xu Lingling pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Old Deng not far away.

Of course she knew who it was. The president of the Zihu Chamber of Commerce would visit her every year, and she would occasionally call him Uncle Fang when they met.

Master Xu, who was standing to the side, also smiled.

The encouragement came from his peers; this kid really knows how to tell lies, no wonder Lingling can't forget him.

Unfortunately, his aptitude and family background were rather ordinary, making it too difficult for him to achieve the Golden Core stage. Moreover, he was not a cultivator with the Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root, so he could not help his daughter with her cultivation.

If Lingling wants to have some fun, that's fine, but becoming a Daoist couple isn't really a good match.

Of course, if Chen Beiwu can consistently avoid causing trouble and hindering his daughter's progress, and keep her happy, then he might agree to their relationship.

"I know. If I remember correctly, the Zihu Chamber of Commerce is extremely successful. The president is named Fang Ling, and his cultivation level is mid-Foundation Establishment. The vice president is Yu Yong'an, and his cultivation level is early-Foundation Establishment..." Xu Lingling said with a frown.

She didn't know much about the Zihu Chamber of Commerce, only the general information about the four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After chatting about a lot of topics, Xu Lingling reluctantly hung up the phone.

"Dad, I want to ask you for a favor," she suddenly said in a coquettish tone.

"Alright, I understand what you mean, a daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home."

Master Xu waved his hand: "If you want my help, it's very simple, just a matter of saying one word. But your previous attitude towards cultivation made me very unhappy."

Xu Lingling was speechless.

The next second, she grabbed Xu Zhenren's hand and shook it repeatedly, acting coquettishly.

"Dad, I will cultivate the Yang-Nourishing Technique diligently from now on, please help me."

Master Xu chuckled: "You said it yourself, I didn't force you. How about you stay home and cultivate the Yang-Nourishing Technique for a month after this?"

Xu Lingling hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "No problem."

So be it. Chen Beiwu is already studying at home anyway, so she won't see him even if she goes to school.

"Silly daughter." Master Xu shook his head, not intending to waste any more words.

People can't teach others, but things can be taught by others.

Chen Beiwu is a smart guy; he knows how to keep his distance and wait for his daughter to experience the bitterness of love so she will understand the importance of a heart devoted to the Tao.

……

On the other end of the phone, Chen Beiwu hung up, a serious look on his face.

The Dendrobium Chamber of Commerce is a large and influential organization that sells a wide variety of medicinal herbs, with Dendrobium nobile being just a small part of it.

After understanding the general situation, Chen Beiwu really didn't believe that selling a few hundred kilograms of Dendrobium nobile could alarm a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The coveteran is probably a Qi Refining cultivator posing as a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Beiwu has mastered the Heavenly Book of All Laws Returning to Flow and possesses the Golden Egg with unparalleled defense. Even if he were attacked by a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he would be confident of retreating safely, and even a counterattack would not be impossible.

"Damn it!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

The Zihu Chamber of Commerce forbids him from selling goods and from giving benefits to his family, but he insists on selling anyway!
