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

"How is the Linglong Chamber of Commerce that we founded progressing at present?"

Ye Linglong inquired.

While the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall enabled them to acquire treasures from every corner, disposing of those items was crucial for generating revenue.

Naturally, the sales yielded profits many times greater, sufficient to stir envy in legions of cultivators.

That was precisely why they had 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.

Such success had also hastened their cultivation progress, propelling each member to the Golden Core stage.

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

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

"Precious minerals sourced from different areas."

"Practically, every Artifact Refining Chamber of Commerce craves them."

"We supply whatever volume they require; no room for haggling whatsoever."

Xiao Duan shared with enthusiasm.

Truth be told, his aptitude for commerce wasn't exceptional, yet business boils down to acquiring cheaply and vending dearly.

The vital element lies in sourcing items that truly sell well.

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

Something even the Great Xuan Dynasty couldn't pull off.

This opened up abundant chances for profitable trades.

"That said, a major issue has arisen."

"Our earnings are excessively lucrative."

"Certain powers within the Imperial City are casting covetous glances at our Linglong Chamber of Commerce."

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

"Were it not for sister being a princess, those powers might employ coercion."

Jiang Mo remarked with deep emotion.

He came to understand that amassing wealth proves challenging for typical cultivators.

Minimal profits might escape notice, but substantial hauls draw the greed of numerous aristocratic clans.

Then, waves of oppression and conflicts would ensue relentlessly.

Without question, absent Sister Linglong's royal status, sustaining the Linglong Chamber of Commerce would prove arduous.

He dreaded the extent of the pressures they might endure.

Certain aristocratic heirs could even brazenly attempt to plunder possessions.

Such incidents are far from rare.

"Beyond mere aristocratic houses, some princes and imperial kin are fixating on our Linglong Chamber of Commerce."

"Common noble clans may respect Sister Linglong’s princess standing, yet those princes and imperials disregard it."

"Thankfully, Sister Linglong’s ascension to Direct Disciple of an Integration Great Power has warded them off."

"Lacking that, they could demand the handover of the Linglong Chamber of Commerce."

"Those fellows act like scavenging birds of prey."

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

Despite their birth as royal progeny granting them vast entitlements,

they remained unsatisfied, perpetually tyrannizing common folk and plundering resources from everyday cultivators.

They showed no mercy even to their own kin.

"Truly, only Sister Linglong possesses such remarkable fortune, shining as brightly as the midday sun."

"We anticipated it would invite dire misfortunes, yet a reversal emerged unexpectedly."

"It could well be the essence of the Immortal Destiny at work."

Liu Shengnan commented with profound sentiment.

For average cultivators, enduring such pressures would likely prove overwhelming.

They might face endless ordeals.

Yet her sister Ye Linglong stood apart.

Ever since activating the Immortal Destiny, she had wielded an exceptional fate, radiant like noon’s blaze.

Initially, she claimed princess status, later inherited an Immortal’s legacy, and now enjoys patronage from an Integration Great Power.

One might declare Sister Linglong utterly invincible now.

Regarding aptitude and support, she has scaled the heights.

No other cultivator can overshadow Sister Linglong.

Previously, certain princes and princesses sought to oppress Ye Linglong, only to suffer severe repercussions.

Thus, Ye Linglong enjoyed undisturbed cultivation periods.

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

This premier Life Chart not only conferred astonishing talent but also bestowed boundless fortune.

Numerous members of the Mixed Yuan Alliance had already validated this.

"Avoid overdepending on so-called destiny."

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

"This realm teems with cultivators lacking Life Charts."

"Yet they persist in breakthroughs, reaching Refining Void and even Integration."

"A Life Chart serves merely as an enhancement, not the entirety."

"Keep that firmly in mind."

Ye Linglong stated gravely, cautioning her companions against the sway of Life Chart prowess.

Should complacency take hold, calamity would surely follow.

"Understood, Sister Linglong."

At those words, the group nodded affirmatively.

They acknowledged their uniqueness yet recognized limits to their actions.

Any laxity could lead to death, halting their journey.

Even short of demise, stagnation awaited.

"Hmm?!"

"My mentor seeks my presence."

In that instant, Ye Linglong felt a stir within; she promptly detected a transmission from her Communication Talisman.

She hadn’t anticipated her mentor summoning her just then.

As an Integration Great Power, such experts typically secluded themselves or undertook missions, seldom sparing time for her—making this occurrence rather atypical.
