Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1008 - 491: Ye Linglong’s Path to Empress, Linglong Chamber of Commerce

"How about the Linglong Chamber of Commerce that we set up? What’s its status now?"

Ye Linglong inquired.

While they could acquire treasures from everywhere through the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, selling them was essential to generate revenue.

Naturally, after sales, the profits would multiply several times over, stirring envy among countless cultivators.

That’s why they created the Linglong Chamber of Commerce for trading diverse treasures.

Over this period, they had reaped considerable gains.

In truth, their compact group had secured massive advantages.

This also boosted their cultivation progress, allowing all to reach the Golden Core Stage.

"Sister Linglong, the Chamber of Commerce is operating smoothly."

"Our products are in high demand, after all."

"Precious ores sourced from different areas."

"Basically, every Artifact Refining Chamber requires them."

"We supply as much as they want, with no room for negotiation."

Xiao Duan shared with enthusiasm.

Truthfully, his knack for business wasn’t exceptional, yet trading boils down to acquiring cheap and selling dear.

The crucial part lies in sourcing items that sell well.

Backed by the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, achieving that becomes straightforward.

Even the Great Xuan Dynasty couldn’t pull this off.

It opened up numerous chances for profitable trades.

"But a major issue has arisen lately."

"Our earnings are just too impressive."

"Certain powers in the Imperial City are casting greedy eyes on our Linglong Chamber of Commerce."

"They appear intent on uncovering the origin of our merchandise."

"Without sister’s princess status, those powers could easily turn to coercion."

Jiang Mo remarked with deep emotion.

He understood that earning wealth proves tough for regular cultivators.

When profits stay modest, others might overlook them, but big hauls draw the attention of many aristocratic clans.

Then, waves of pressures and conflicts would follow relentlessly.

Clearly, absent Sister Linglong’s royal standing, running the Linglong Chamber of Commerce would be far from simple.

He dreaded to think of the extent of the oppression they’d endure.

Offspring from noble houses might even brazenly attempt to rob them.

Such incidents happen frequently, in fact.

"It’s not only regular noble clans; some princes and imperial kin are targeting our Linglong Chamber of Commerce too."

"Common aristocratic families might respect Sister Linglong’s princess role, but those princes and royals pay it no mind."

"Luckily, Sister Linglong earned the position of Direct Disciple under an Integration Great Power, scaring them off."

"Without that, they could show up demanding control of the Chamber."

"Those fellows act like scavenging birds."

Su Wangyue expressed strong discontent toward those princes and imperial heirs.

Despite their own royal blood granting them vast privileges,

they remained unsatisfied, always bullying common folk and snatching resources from everyday cultivators.

They wouldn’t hesitate to target their own relatives either.

"Sister Linglong’s destiny truly shines bright, much like the midday sun."

"We figured it would invite massive troubles, yet a reversal appeared instead."

"This could be the effect of the Immortal Destiny."

Liu Shengnan commented with profound sentiment.

For typical cultivators, enduring such pressures would be overwhelming.

They’d face endless hardships, no doubt.

Yet her sister Ye Linglong stood apart.

Ever since activating the Immortal Destiny, she possessed a fate that soared like the noon sun.

She first claimed princess status, then inherited knowledge from an Immortal, and now enjoys the patronage of an Integration Great Power.

One might declare that Sister Linglong has become utterly invincible.

Regarding aptitude and support, she’s scaled the peak.

No other cultivator could possibly overshadow Sister Linglong now.

Earlier, certain princes and princesses attempted to harass Ye Linglong, only to receive severe rebukes.

Thus, Ye Linglong enjoyed undisturbed time for cultivation.

She believed this stemmed from the Immortal Destiny’s power.

This supreme Life Chart not only granted astonishing talent but also bestowed a wealth of favorable fate.

Numerous folks in the Mixed Yuan Alliance had already confirmed this.

"Don’t place excessive faith in so-called destiny."

"Without personal effort, even chances that arrive won’t be grasped."

"Countless cultivators in this realm lack a Life Chart."

"Still, they manage steady breakthroughs, reaching Refining Void and even Integration stages."

"A Life Chart serves merely as an addition, not the whole story."

"Keep that in mind."

Ye Linglong stated gravely, warning her companions against over-relying on Life Chart influence.

If they fell into arrogance, disaster would surely strike.

"Understood, Sister Linglong."

At her words, the group nodded affirmatively.

They acknowledged their uniqueness yet knew they couldn’t act recklessly.

A single misstep could lead to death and end their journey.

Even short of dying, stagnation awaited.

"Hmm?!"

"My master is summoning me."

Suddenly, Ye Linglong felt a stir in her heart; she promptly detected a transmission from her Communication Talisman.

She hadn’t anticipated her master reaching out right then.

As an Integration Great Power, such experts usually remain in closed-door practice or on missions, seldom sparing time for her—making this event rather peculiar.
