I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Lin Che nodded in satisfaction, lifting his gaze from the blueprints with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Not bad, I trust you to get things done."

He looked through several more blueprints, carefully examining the internal layout of the chamber of commerce.

The spaciousness of the reception hall, the privacy of the VIP rooms, and the security of the enclosed rooms—every detail has been carefully considered.

After a moment, he looked up and asked a crucial question:

"Our opening date is fast approaching. Can the construction of the chamber of commerce be completed before the second day of the second lunar month?"

Liu Yunzhou, as the chief designer and head of construction for the Chamber of Commerce, did not immediately respond upon hearing this.

He looked down at the blueprints on the table, his fingers lightly tapping over several key points, his lips moving slightly as if he were recalculating the construction period in his mind.

After a moment, he raised his head, his tone resolute:

"Don't worry, Master. The main structure of the Chamber of Commerce is complete. All that's left is interior decoration and finishing touches."

"If I keep a close eye on the progress and work day and night, we can definitely complete the basic construction before the auspicious date we set."

Lin Che nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Wang Lingsu.

Wang Lingsu took over the conversation and reported clearly: "Regarding staff recruitment, the manager, accountant, and waiters have all been found and can start working as soon as the Chamber of Commerce is established. I will also be able to complete the preparation of basic goods before the opening."

She paused, then added, "We're going to establish a comprehensive chamber of commerce, so naturally, all sorts of spiritual items are essential."

Therefore, I signed a new purchase contract with the Li and Sun families.

They will supply the Chamber of Commerce with first- and second-tier talismans and magical artifacts on a long-term basis, at prices slightly lower than the market price, with guaranteed quality.

"What about elixirs?" Lin Che asked.

"We don't lack pills for the time being," Wang Lingsu replied.

"The Chen family's alchemy heritage has come in handy. We've recruited a group of rogue cultivators who can refine pills as family retainers, offering them the inheritance as a reward, and quite a few people have signed up."

Selecting the best from among the best, twenty-four first- or even second-tier alchemists have already joined the Lin family.

"Wanwan will take the lead and coordinate the planning, and will subsequently provide the Chamber of Commerce with a continuous supply of elixirs."

She smiled slightly: "It just so happens that the Spirit Herb Valley will produce a large number of spiritual herbs in the future, which will solve the problem of raw materials."

Lin Che listened, feeling increasingly satisfied.

Looking out the window, the silhouettes of Lin Xuandong and Lin Xuanyu flashed by.

The children weren't idle either.

Thinking of those little guys, a smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Che's face.

Even without his request, they have all been busy these days.

Xuanqi, that kid, spends all his time in the kitchen, saying he wants to develop a tea snack to go with the spirit tea, specially for entertaining distinguished guests.

It needs to taste good, look exquisite, and not be too expensive.

A few days ago, I secretly presented him with a plate of the finished product to taste, and it did taste quite good.

Xuan Jing, who had already established his foundation, was allowed to enter and leave the clan's territory and volunteered to be responsible for escorting supplies for the merchant guild.

With his wind spirit root, he has absolute confidence in his speed. In addition, his natal spirit beast, the Azure Cloud Eagle, is a flying spirit beast, making him the most suitable candidate for this job.

The escort of the various spirits is of paramount importance and requires a reliable family member to be in charge.

Lin Che did not hesitate and granted his request.

Since the family was attacked by Chen Dai, Xuanfeng has been focusing on cultivation, striving to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible.

Upon learning that his family was going to establish a business association, he stopped cultivating without hesitation and went into his "research and development room".

I've always loved tinkering with weird and wonderful things since I was a child. After learning about puppetry, it was like discovering a new world, and I became completely obsessed with it.

This time they said they were going to tinker with some puppets, but I wonder what kind of creations they'll come up with.

Needless to say, Xuan Qing not only learned formations from Qin Yulin, but also took the time to make a batch of first-order small formations that were easy to install and carry.

Lin Che signed another contract with the Zhao family, purchasing a batch of second-tier formations from them at a low price.

In this way, the supply of array formations will not be lacking for the time being.

Xuan Yu, that child, usually has a cold and aloof demeanor, but after learning about the preparations for the Chamber of Commerce, he even stopped playing chess and started looking for ways to help.

It turned out that, apart from playing chess, there didn't seem to be anything else that I was particularly good at.

So he simply joined forces with the seventh brother, Xuan Dong.

Xuan Dong volunteered to write detailed descriptions and promotional phrases for the various products of the Chamber of Commerce. As someone who loves to conceive novels, this was a perfect fit for his profession.

Xuan Yu then helped him organize the product list and record the data; the two worked together quite well.

As for the youngest daughter, Hyun-jung, who is usually immersed in her own world and loves carving...

Lin Che's smile deepened.

This child is now the Lin family's prized possession.

Because she became a spirit engraver.

Among the various arts of cultivation, spirit carving can be considered a skill that "connects all arts".

Formations require the drawing of array patterns, magical artifacts require the engraving of artifact patterns, the patterns on elixirs, and even the shaping of puppets all require carving.

It can be said that carving is the foundation of all arts and crafts in the cultivation of immortality.

However, most people only grasp the basics and have a superficial understanding.

It is far inferior to Xuanjing, who has been immersed in this path for many years.

During this time, whenever the children needed to draw spirit runes while preparing their respective tasks, they would ask her for help.

The spirit runes she helps draw can often increase the effectiveness of spirit objects by at least 20%!

What does 20% mean?

The same magical artifact, with the spirit patterns she inscribed, can have its power increased by 20%.

The same talisman with her engraved patterns can be 20% more effective;

Even the pills refined by alchemists can have their shelf life extended considerably after she carves a small spirit-gathering pattern on the pill bottle.

This child, though quiet and unassuming, has genuinely enhanced the Chamber of Commerce's core competitiveness.

As Lin Che thought about these things, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Wang Lingsu, Liu Qingxue, and Liu Yunzhou looked at Lin Che and were puzzled when he suddenly laughed. They looked at each other in confusion.

"Husband?" Wang Lingsu called out tentatively.

Lin Che snapped out of his daze, saw the three people's puzzled looks, and stood up with a smile:

"Come on, let me show you what I've accomplished over the years."

Upon hearing this, all three showed curiosity in their eyes.

The aforementioned magical artifacts and talismans were merely supplements to the merchant guild, used to expand its basic goods inventory.

Their own tamed beasts are the core product of the merchant guild.

They were all very curious about what kind of spirit beast the patriarch had raised.

After all, the mysterious Southern District Spirit Beast Garden has not been open since it was opened once ten years ago!

Liu Yunzhou put away the blueprints on the table, Wang Lingsu straightened her robes, and Liu Qingxue remained aloof, but a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes.

The four people left the meeting room and walked in that direction...
