Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1847 - 1113: Wilderness of Ten Thousand Waters

After Yang Zhenshan dealt with those chaotic matters, he then visited Hengshan Sect and Taoyuan Mountain to have a discussion with True Monarch Qi He and Zhongli Yue, primarily regarding trade between both parties.

Everything else could be stopped, but trade with these two major forces could not only not be stopped but must be expanded in scale to seek greater profits.

Over the years of trade, Hengshan Sect valued the goods provided by the Yang family more and more.

The war in the Southern Domain continued, and it showed signs of escalating, with Hengshan Sect even sending Disciples personally into the fray, and the power struggle was just beginning, far from reaching its most intense and brutal stage. Thus, Hengshan Sect would still need more supplies in the future.

Although the supplies provided by the Yang family were not in large quantities, all of the supplies had excellent quality, which made Hengshan Sect increasingly value trade with the Yang family.

After Yang Zhenshan had a conversation with True Monarch Qi He, he once again provided the Yang family with an order, an order of more categories and larger quantities.

This order would keep the Spirit Source Land busy for over a decade.

As for Taoyuan Mountain, the trade volume did not increase and might even decrease.

On Taoyuan Mountain, in the teahouse.

Zhongli Yue poured a cup of tea for Yang Zhenshan, with a somewhat helpless expression, saying, "The situation in the Wanhua Mountain Range and Western Regions is becoming increasingly chaotic, and our Ten Thousand Treasures Store business is becoming more difficult to manage."

"It’s not that I don’t want to do business with Mr. Yang, it’s just that currently, Ten Thousand Treasures Store can’t sell that many goods!"

Ten Thousand Treasures Store had a total of seven branches in the Wanhua Mountain Range and the Western Regions, including True Yang Immortal City, Qinglin Immortal City, Qingli Immortal City, Jiujiang Immortal City, Cuihai Island, Yinhua Mountain, and Taoyuan Mountain.

True Yang Immortal City had changed hands several times and had long since become desolate, though Sun Giant Mountain still harbored an abundance of resources. Currently, however, few were willing to stay in True Yang Immortal City to explore those resources, as everyone was intimidated by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and the Wanhua Demon Court.

The constant conflicts between the two major forces resulted in countless innocent people being implicated, leaving Sun Giant Mountain scantily populated and the business in True Yang Immortal City increasingly desolate. Thus, Ten Thousand Treasures Store’s business in True Yang Immortal City was also becoming harder.

Qinglin Immortal City was somewhat better as it was located in the mid-section of the Wanhua Mountain Range and had always belonged to the Wanhua Demon Court. However, even though Qinglin Immortal City had not been destroyed, its commercial environment was significantly affected by the instability of the Wanhua Demon Court in recent decades.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store in Qingli Immortal City was only established decades ago when White Cloud Immortal City still existed. As Qingli Immortal City was the largest and most prosperous Immortal Cultivator settlement in the western Yunxiao Mountain Range, it was only natural for Ten Thousand Treasures Store to set up a shop in the Immortal City.

However, due to the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s invasion of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, Qingli Immortal City was also greatly affected, with even Yun Fan and Yun Bi defecting to the Yang family, not to mention others.

Although the Unpredictable Ghost Sect ultimately did not occupy Qingli Immortal City, the business of Ten Thousand Treasures Store in Qingli Immortal City still became bleak.

Jiujiang Immortal City, situated in the southern Wanhua Mountain Range, was in a similar situation to True Yang Immortal City. Over mere decades, it had repeatedly changed hands, leaving Jiujiang Immortal City exceedingly desolate.

Cuihai Island was in Minghai, which was under the jurisdiction of the Minghai Palace, while Yinhua Mountain was in the Southern Border, near the Yellow Springs Hall. Both locations became trade hubs depending on these significant forces.

Cuihai Island relied on Minghai Palace, while Yinhua Mountain depended on the erstwhile Yellow Springs Hall.

Although both places were currently relatively peaceful, the poor overall economic environment also caused Ten Thousand Treasures Store’s business to plummet.

Thus, among the stores currently managed by Zhongli Yue, the best one was the Ten Thousand Treasures Store below Taoyuan Mountain.

He personally oversaw the business, and no forces dared to cause trouble. Moreover, given the restlessness elsewhere, many cultivators treated the settlement below Taoyuan Mountain as a safe haven.

The settlement below Taoyuan Mountain was increasingly bustling, and Ten Thousand Treasures Store’s business there was flourishing. However, relying solely on Taoyuan Mountain couldn’t make up for the losses of the other six branches of Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

"I see, no worries, sell as much as you can. Additionally, we need a large amount of low-level resources, I hope Brother Zhongli can help me procure some!" Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

"That’s easy. Fellow Daoist Yang can directly go down and purchase whatever is needed." Zhongli Yue replied with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, if Mr. Yang intends to sell more goods, you might want to check out Wanbao Immortal City; its commercial environment is far superior to Taoyuan Mountain!" he reminded.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, "I have long admired Wanbao Immortal City and have recently been thinking about visiting."

He was already planning to head to Wanbao Immortal City after leaving Taoyuan Mountain, and Zhongli Yue’s suggestion fit perfectly with his itinerary.

"Haha, coincidentally, Xia Yi is in Wanbao Immortal City, so Mr. Yang can meet Xia Yi there!" Zhongli Yue said.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "I will definitely visit Fellow Daoist Xia Yi when I arrive!"

After chatting casually for a while, Yang Zhenshan took his leave.

Upon leaving Taoyuan Mountain, he flew all the way to Wanbao Immortal City.

Central Domain lacked any Dynasty and was composed solely of Sects and noble families, of course, there were ordinary people there too, all under the influence of Sects and noble families.

Great Sects, minor Sects, Immortal Clans, noble families, ordinary families, all layered like that, forming a densely woven rule in the Wanhua Central Domain.

Actually, the life of ordinary people in the Central Domain was still quite secure, and if they merely wanted food and clothing, it was easily attainable.
