I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Stepping into Burning Bone City once again, the bustling sounds of people, mixed with the aroma of various spiritual materials and fireworks, hit me.

This colossal city, built upon a formidable pass, seems perpetually imbued with a rugged yet vibrant energy.

Lin Che followed the flow of people and soon arrived at the magnificent building that was always a landmark in the city—the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce.

A four-story building rises from the ground, with spiritual patterns appearing between the eaves and brackets. The white jade steps in front of the door are so shiny that they reflect one's image. Cultivators come and go in an endless stream, demonstrating its profound heritage and immense popularity.

Lin Che straightened his robes and stepped into the Chamber of Commerce gate.

A warm current, a mixture of the fragrance of spiritual herbs, the rich aroma of elixirs, and a faint aura of precious treasure, swept over us, instantly isolating us from the noise of the outside world.

"Fellow Daoist, welcome to the Windwalker Merchant Guild. What would you like to order?"

A pretty young female shop assistant, dressed in a light blue dress in the style of the Chamber of Commerce, immediately greeted us with a smile, speaking fluently and acting with grace.

Lin Che's gaze fell on her face, and he suddenly felt that she looked familiar.

After a brief recollection, I remembered.

Isn't this the same Qi Refining stage shop assistant who served him when he came here to make purchases many years ago, when he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

It seems... her name is Xiaodie?

Time flies, and he has already formed his core, while this girl seems to still be working as a receptionist at the bottom, and her cultivation level is still hovering around the Qi Refining stage.

On the path of cultivation, opportunities and talent are truly cruel.

Lin Che didn't say much, but calmly took out the light blue "Wind" token given to him by Wang Miaoxue from his sleeve.

The token appears.

The unique spiritual charm flowing through it and the subtle high-end logo made "Little Butterfly," who had been smiling politely, suddenly shrink her pupils.

His face instantly showed both utmost respect and a hint of panic.

She quickly bowed deeply, her voice lowered, clearly filled with fear:

"I...I was blind and unaware of your presence. Please forgive my rudeness!"

Her actions and sudden change in address immediately drew the attention of many customers and other staff in the lobby.

Those who work or shop here are generally discerning.

Seeing Xiaodie's reaction, and combined with the unusual token, everyone immediately realized that this seemingly ordinary guest was definitely not simple, and was very likely a senior expert.

In an instant, many eyes quietly lowered, secretly observing with either awe or curiosity.

No one dared to make a sound or step forward, for fear of unintentionally offending the important person.

Lin Che did not deliberately display the pressure of his Golden Core cultivation, but at this moment, the shop assistant in front of him had obviously received news that he was coming.

He had no intention of attracting too much attention, so he simply nodded slightly and said in a calm tone, "It's alright, lead the way."

Xiao Die felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly stood up, her back ramrod straight, and stepped aside to lead the way, her posture even more respectful than before.

"Yes! Manager Wang is already waiting in the private room on the fourth floor. Please follow me, sir."

The lobby on the first floor was extremely luxurious, with spiritual materials paving the floor, pearls embedded in the ceiling, and various treasures shining brightly under the spiritual light of the array.

The passageway leading to the fourth floor is even more secluded and prestigious.

After passing through a magically glowing portal, a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before us.

Although the space here is not as spacious as downstairs, it exudes sophistication and elegance.

The floor is covered with sandalwood, ancient paintings with profound artistic conception hang on the walls, and the air is filled with calming and tranquil fragrance. Every detail shows extraordinary taste and style.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a deep purple brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, a refined face, and a smiling expression, stood with his hands behind his back at the end of the corridor.

Upon seeing Lin Che arrive, his smile widened, and he took a few steps forward, cupping his hands in greeting and saying with a smile:

"Haha, is that Fellow Daoist Lin Che from Shattered Star Lake in Chuyang City? I am Wang Qinian. I have long admired your name, and meeting you today, I am truly honored to see you. You are indeed a man of imposing presence, living up to your reputation!"

As he spoke, a harmonious and mellow aura, completely undisguised, emanated from him like a gentle spring breeze.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for cultivators of the same level to clearly perceive the depth of his cultivation.

Golden Core cultivator!

Lin Che felt a chill run down his spine.

Although he knew that Wang Miaoxue had an extraordinary background, he did not expect that her father, Wang Qinian, was also a Golden Core cultivator!

Within the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce system, the purple-robed steward already held a very high position.

The power and influence of a purple-robed steward, who is a Golden Core cultivator, are far beyond those of an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage steward.

In his memory, the purple-robed steward who had hosted the large-scale auction was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The man before us, Wang Qinian, is probably the one who truly holds power in the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce in Burning Bone City and even the surrounding areas!

Thoughts raced through Lin Che's mind, but his expression remained unchanged. He returned the greeting with a gentle smile and clasped his hands in return.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. Thank you for your help this time."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you saying!"

Wang Qinian smiled broadly and turned to the side, gesturing for people to enter.

"It is fate that you, fellow Daoist, have befriended my daughter. It is an honor for our Fengxing Merchant Guild that you trust us. How could this be troublesome? Please come inside and speak with us!"

"please."

The two entered a more elegant reception room.

The view here is excellent; through the carved spirit wood window, you can overlook a large part of the Burning Bone City.

A maid dressed in simple, elegant clothes, exuding a pure aura, silently served tea filled with spiritual energy, and then quietly withdrew.

Wang Qinian was the first to pick up his teacup, take a small sip, and then get to the point:

"Xiaoxue has already explained Fellow Daoist Lin's needs in detail in the message. It's about upgrading the family's defensive array and improving the grade of the spiritual veins, right?"

He picked up his teacup, gently blew on the tea foam, and continued:

"Burning Bone City is a gathering place for cultivators from all directions, teeming with talent. Naturally, there are several third-tier array masters among them, but..."

He changed the subject slightly, a confident smile appearing on his face.

"I dare say that Master Qin, whom our Chamber of Commerce worships, is not the most outstanding in the Burning Bone City in terms of his mastery of formations, but he is definitely top-notch among those of the same level. He is especially skilled at setting up large-scale complex formations that combine offense and defense, adapting to local conditions, and has an excellent reputation."

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Qinian put down his teacup, looked at Lin Che, and his smile became more intimate:

"Since Fellow Daoist Lin and my daughter are acquainted and get along quite well, then they are not outsiders."

Wang didn't mince words. He said that any spiritual materials, array bases, or other items purchased by the fellow Daoist from the Chamber of Commerce for setting up arrays would be discounted by 10%!

Consider this a small token of congratulations on your advancement to the Golden Core stage, and a token of my appreciation for future cooperation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Che was slightly taken aback, then his smile became more sincere: "Fellow Daoist Wang is so kind; it would be impolite of me to refuse. Thank you in advance!"

"Haha, you're too kind, fellow Daoist. It's just a win-win cooperation." Wang Qinian waved his hand with a smile.

With the business settled, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

The two chatted for a while about the recent situation in Chuyang City, the movements of the monsters in the Fulong Mountains, and even their cultivation experiences.

Wang Qinian was knowledgeable and witty, and Lin Che was able to keep up with the conversation, so they had a very pleasant chat.

Seeing that the time was right, Wang Qinian stood up and said with a smile:

"Master Qin should be in the quiet room on the third floor right now, working out the array diagram. If Fellow Daoist Lin has nothing else to do, I will take you to see him. The specific array setup plan and requirements will need to be discussed with him personally."

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Wang." Lin Che also stood up.

As the two walked outside, Lin Che suddenly spoke up:

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wang, now that I've reached the Golden Core stage, I need to upgrade some magic tools and purchase some third-tier cultivation resources. I wonder if the merchant guild has any in stock?"

Since he was already there, Lin Che decided to take the opportunity to purchase some resources needed for the Golden Core stage.
