Chapter 3299: The Three Merchant Unions

“Given the current strength of my soul, only mid grade God Tier Lifesoul Flowers will have an evident effect on healing the cracks. The Lifesoul Flower I ingested has not even reached God Tier.”

“There shouldn’t be a lot of God Tier heavenly resources in the Wood Spirits World. After all, given the level of the world, it’s impossible for it to be compared with greater worlds like the Saints’ World. As a result, finding God Tier Lifesoul Flowers in the Wood Spirits World probably won’t be easy.”

“Moreover, there are many cracks in my soul. If I want to heal them all, I’ll need quite a lot of Lifesoul Flowers. Even if I manage to find mid grade God Tier Lifesoul Flowers, it won’t just be a matter of one or two of them.” Jian Chen thought.

Then his lips curled into a smile as he thought to himself, “Though, that doesn’t matter. If God Tier Lifesoul Flowers are rare, then I’ll make up with those beneath God Tier through quantity. As long as I gather enough Lifesoul Flowers, I’ll have a way to utilise its wondrous effects.”

The Lifesoul Flower was one of the five remaining heavenly resources in Jian Chen’s possession. Now, he still had four remaining.

“And lastly, hopefully the remaining four heavenly resources can surprise me again.” Jian Chen gazed at the four heavenly resources in his hand and began to consume them one by one with some anticipation.

Very soon, he consumed all of the last four heavenly resources. To his disappointment, none of the heavenly resources had any effect on his injuries apart from the Lifesoul Flower.

“Xia Jianming, meet me immediately!” Jian Chen called out.

In just five seconds, Xia Jianming appeared before him. He bowed towards Jian Chen politely. “What are your instructions, master?”

Jian Chen stared at Xia Jianming with shining eyes and said sternly, “I need Lifesoul Flowers, a large quantity of them. The higher the quality, the better. Gather them for me as quickly as you can.”

“If you handle this well, I obviously won’t mistreat you. I’ll give you a fortune that’s enough to change your fate.”

“Yes! I’ll handle it immediately!” Xia Jianming accepted the order immediately. After a slight moment of hesitation, he asked, “Master, may I ask what exactly do you mean by a large quantity?”

“There’s no upper limit. The more the better. If you can, bring me all the Lifesoul Flowers in the entire Wood Spirits World!” Jian Chen said boldly.

However, Xia Jianming leapt in fright when he heard this request. He immediately became troubled, asking carefully, “Master, Lifesoul Flowers are a relatively precious heavenly resource. Lifesoul Flowers are one of the ten most expensive heavenly resources. Their price is much higher with higher qualities too.” 4887

“The Xia Merchant Union I’m in control of is one of the three great merchant unions of the Peace region, but the Peace region is just a small place after all. With the wealth of our Xia Merchant Union, I-I’m afraid we can’t purchase that many Lifesoul Flowers.”

Jian Chen nodded. He understood Xia Jianming’s difficulties. He said slowly, “What are the two other merchant unions of the Peace region?”

“The Xiong family and the Zhan family!” Xia Jianming said.

“It’s actually then?” Jian Chen was slightly surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Isn’t the Peace region facing an upheaval soon? During this upheaval, all rules set down previously will be rewritten. If that’s the case, your Xia Merchant Alliance might as well get your share before the upheaval occurs.”

“After all, if I want to recover, I’ll need your Xia Merchant Union’s assistance. The stronger your Xia Merchant Union is, the more beneficial it’ll be to my recovery.”

“Xia Jianming, go and occupy the Zhan family and Xiong family. From now onwards, the Peace region will only have your Xia Merchant Union as a merchant union. Aside from that, there’s no need for you to pay tributes to the nine imperial cities. Take all of these resources and purchase Lifesoul Flowers for me.”

Xia Jianming was surprised. He immediately became filled with excitement, but he soon remembered something and asked with uncertainty, “Master, there’s the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King’s figure behind the Xiong family. Are we really going to do this?”

Xia Jianming had already witnessed Jian Chen’s strength in Tyrant Emperor city, but the strength of heavenly kings was well beyond anything that the Tyrant Emperor could match.

As a result, Xia Jianming still did not have much confidence if they were coming into conflict with heavenly kings.

“You don’t have to worry about anything else. Just do as I say. If you encounter anyone you can’t handle, I’ll help out,” Jian Chen said indifferently, without taking heavenly kings seriously at all.

At that moment, Jian Chen only became even more unfathomable in Xia Jianming’s eyes. He carefully glanced at Jian Chen with even more reverence than before. Meanwhile, Jian Chen remained seated with his petrified legs.

“I don’t know the specific details regarding master, but master is definitely no weaker than a heavenly king!” Xia Jianming became filled with confidence with an expert like that backing him up.

Jian Chen’s expression suddenly changed. He said to Xia Jianming, “There are a few acquaintances outside the courtyard. Invite them in.” As he said that, a few wisps of extremely feeble presence appeared within Xia Jianming’s senses.

Xia Jianming knew that they were the acquaintances that Jian Chen was talking about. He immediately accepted the order and backed down.

At this moment, outside the courtyard, there were several young Overgods walking on the streets. They were all dejected and dispirited.

“How have the prices in Sword Emperor city become so expensive? Some regular necessities have risen to over three times their original price, while some pills have even inflated by over ten times in price.”

“I heard that it’s not just Sword Emperor city, but the other imperial cities in the Peace region too. Many cultivation resources have skyrocketed in price. Don’t tell me something big is about to occur in the Peace region?”

“I don’t know about that, but I do know that we can’t complete the mission to purchase resources given to us by sister Yurou. After all, we don’t possess much wealth anymore after leaving the clan.”

“Yeah. In the past, we could rely on the clan’s wealth. When we purchased things, did we ever have to consider so many things? Now that we no longer have access to the clan’s wealth, I didn’t think that simply purchasing some resources would put us in such a miserable state.”

The young men and women talked as they walked, sighing away miserable. As soon as they mentioned the clan, they all became gloomy.

They were the descendants of the White Emperor clan that Jian Chen had encountered in Death Valley. Bai Yueye and Bai Changlin were among them.

“Fellows, my master sends you his invitations!”

At this moment, an old man silently appeared before them and spoke to them.

“Who’s your master? Why is he inviting us?”

Bai Yueye and the others all stopped, warily staring at Xia Jianming who had suddenly appeared.

“I dare not mention my master’s name, but my master has said that you are his acquaintances,” said Xia Jianming. He was also filled with curiosity. He struggled to imagine how a few juniors that were Overgods at most had become acquainted with his master.

After all, given the height that his master stood at, even regular Primordial realm experts could not catch his attention, let alone Overgods.
