I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

The door was pushed open, and Lin Xuandong strode in.

"Father, eldest brother, second brother, third brother." He bowed and greeted them as soon as he entered the door, his movements crisp and efficient, and then plopped down in a seat by the window.

He picked up the teacup on the table, ignoring whether it was hot or cold, and gulped it down in one go. He then poured himself another cup and drank most of it down before letting out a long sigh of relief and showing a satisfied expression on his face.

Today he was wearing a brocade robe made of the finest silkworm silk, which shimmered with a faint silver light in the sunlight and flowed like water as he moved, making him look very dignified.

A jade belt was tied around his waist, from which hung a blue jade pendant with the character "林" (Lin) engraved on it. The pendant shone slightly in the morning light, exuding a warm luster.

In recent years, he has taken over the management of the Aoki Chamber of Commerce. From being unfamiliar with it at the beginning to being able to handle it with ease now, his whole demeanor has also changed quite a bit.

He had lost some of his naivety and gained more composure, but his eyes were still bright and sparkling, revealing the shrewdness unique to businessmen, while retaining his original liveliness.

Lin Xuanjing looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "What kind of drinking is this? It's like guzzling milk, aren't you afraid of burning yourself?"

"I just rushed back from Burning Bone City, flying on my sword the whole way, without even having time to drink water." Lin Xuandong put down his teacup and wiped his mouth.

"Once things were settled over there, I rushed back to report to my father."

Lin Che nodded, signaling him not to rush and to speak slowly.

Lin Xuan took a breath, took out a storage bag from his pocket, placed it on the table, and then began to report on the preparations for the Burning Bone City Chamber of Commerce.

"Father, I have already finalized the matter of establishing a merchant guild in Burning Bone City."

"The location is on the most bustling main street in Burning Bone City, not far from the Wind Chaser Merchant Guild. It's an excellent location with a large flow of people. Cultivators come and go every day from morning till night. I specifically asked Master Qin to take a look, and he said it's a place that attracts wealth, with excellent feng shui."

"The shop is a three-story detached building with a backyard, which can be used as a warehouse and accommodation. I have signed a 20-year lease with the landlord. Although the price is not cheap, it is definitely worthwhile given our chamber of commerce's profitability."

He took out a contract from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Che with both hands.

The contract still bore fresh traces of spirit ink.

Lin Che took it, glanced at it, flipped through the attachments on the next few pages, and then placed it on the table.

"What did this shop originally do?" he asked.

"It used to be a shop selling Buddhist artifacts, but the owner didn't manage it well and it closed down. It's been vacant for more than half a year." Lin Xuandong said, while taking out a few more items from his storage bag and spreading them on the table, filling the tabletop completely.

There were documents for shop rentals, supply channels, and staff hiring, all neatly stacked, with his annotations and signatures on them;

There are also floor plans, renderings, and renovation plans for the storefront, drawn in great detail, with every line clearly outlined.

There was also a thick market research report.

Lin Xuan wrote it down, his handwriting neat and his thoughts clear. He wrote about everything from the number of cultivators in Burning Bone City, their spending power, and the operating conditions of the major chambers of commerce, to the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce's positioning, advantages, and risks.

At the same time, Lin Xuanqi took out a copy.

"This is a market research report provided by Zhihei."

Lin Xuandong took the items and laid them out one by one, introducing them as if they were his own treasures, his finger tracing paths across the map, his gaze focused.

"This is a map showing the distribution of the major merchant guilds in Burning Bone City." He pointed to each marker on the map, each marked with dense notes.

"This is the Fengxing Merchant Guild, an old friend of ours, but we'll probably be competitors in the future. They have the most power in Burning Bone City, occupying the very center of the main street. They are wealthy, have extensive connections, and almost monopolize the trade of high-level spiritual items."

As he spoke, he pointed to another location and tapped a red mark on the map with his finger.

"This is the Cheng family's Wanbaoge, which mainly deals in magical artifacts. It is backed by a Golden Core family and has expanded rapidly in recent years, opening two branches on the main street. It is said that they also have a cooperative relationship with the guards of Burning Bone Pass, and they have taken over most of the repair orders for spirit armor."

"This is the He family's Spirit Beast Shop, which specializes in transporting spirit beasts. Their spirit beasts are not as good as ours, but they have the advantage of starting early and having a wide distribution network. They have three branches on the main street, making them quite large and almost monopolizing the spirit beast transportation market in Burning Bone City."

His finger moved across the map, his tone calm and unhurried, showing that he had not wasted his time in Burning Bone City and had done his homework thoroughly.

"Compared to these three companies, we are still quite far behind, and there is a long way to go before we catch up." He paused, then changed the subject: "However, we also have our advantages."

Lin Xuandong raised his head.

"First, we have exclusive spirit beast resources: Azure-eyed Eagle, Wind-riding Steed, Petrifying Lizard..."

These are hard to find on the outside market, especially the Azure-Eyed Eagle, whose quality far surpasses its counterparts and has already gained a certain reputation in Burning Bone City.

Some independent cultivators, and even some from families, have made a special trip to Chuyang City just to buy one.

Every time we release new products at our chamber of commerce, they're snapped up immediately; demand far exceeds supply.

"Secondly, we have our own supply channels for spirit beast meat."

Golden Spike Spirit Chicken, Cloud Dream Spirit Duck, Bright Moon Spirit Rabbit, Earth Mother Spirit Pig – these high-end spirit beast meats are rare even in Burning Bone City, so we definitely won't have to worry about selling them.

I've already contacted several restaurants; they're very interested in our spirit beast meat. We're just waiting for the Chamber of Commerce to open so we can sign long-term supply agreements.

"Third, we have the spiritual herbs from the Spirit Herb Valley to support us. The cost of these herbs is much lower than that on the market, which gives our pills a price advantage."

"We can offer pills of the same quality at a price that's 10% to 20% cheaper than others, which is very attractive to those thrifty independent cultivators."

He listed them one by one with a confident tone, showing that he had considered these advantages many times and that each one was well-reasoned.

"These are the three key factors for our Greenwood Chamber of Commerce to establish itself in Burning Bone City," Lin Xuandong summarized, his gaze sweeping over his father and several brothers. "With these three advantages, I refuse to believe we can't gain a foothold in Burning Bone City."

Lin Che listened and nodded slightly.

Xuan Dong and his team have almost finished their preliminary preparations. They have discussed and signed all the necessary agreements regarding the storefront, distribution channels, and personnel. All that remains is the specific operation after the opening.

His gaze fell on the map, looking at the dense markings, and he pondered for a moment.

"What about the other chambers of commerce?" Lin Che asked, "especially the Cheng, He, and Liu families. What's their reaction?"

That's the key issue.
