Chapter 726: The Meteor Trading Company

"You! You're talking nonsense! If you have the skill, cure Qing'er; otherwise, don't spout nonsense in front of me!" He Shuming said angrily.

"Untying the illusion is but a flick of the hand; what's so difficult about it?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

He Shuming wanted to slander Ye Yuan, but the words died in his throat.

This kid's methods were indeed somewhat uncanny. Since he could find the cause, curing Gu Qing probably wasn't that hard.

"Don't just talk without acting!" He Shuming said coldly.

Ye Yuan did not respond, merely looking at He Shuming with a faint smile, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Gu Changshun understood Ye Yuan's meaning and had to say awkwardly, "Brother He, how about... you step out for a moment?"

He Shuming was taken aback, glaring at Ye Yuan with uncontrollable fury!

"Hmph!"

He Shuming flicked his sleeve and stormed off.

"Hey, the fly's finally gone."

Once He Shuming left, Ye Yuan went to Gu Qing's side, muttering incantations under his breath—he was chanting a spell!

Soon, the entire dungeon echoed with Ye Yuan's voice, a resounding chant!

"Ah... stop! Stop chanting!"

Ye Yuan's voice reverberated in Gu Qing's ears, causing her expression to twist in pain.

Yet Ye Yuan remained unmoved by Gu Qing's pleas, stubbornly continuing the incantation.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's chanting ceased abruptly!

"Purify the Soul!"

With a soft shout from Ye Yuan, the faint sounds drifting in the dungeon surged into Gu Qing's sea of consciousness.

Gu Qing shuddered but stopped struggling.

Her eyes gradually cleared from their murkiness.

Ye Yuan turned to Gu Changshun and said, "Patriarch Gu, your daughter is fine now. But she has been bound to this ten-thousand-year profound ice for two or three years, which has damaged her soul. I'll prescribe a decoction; after she drinks it, she should recover."

Gu Changshun noticed that the hostility in his daughter had dissipated completely after Ye Yuan's soft shout.

Ye Yuan had indeed cured Gu Qing completely!

"Master Ye, I am deeply grateful!" Gu Changshun said joyfully.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Hey, Patriarch Gu, no need to be polite. Gratitude is undeserved; just don't hold a grudge against me!"

"How could I dare!"

...

The change of ownership of Huixiang Tower caused a huge uproar in Gufeng City.

Huixiang Tower was located in the most prosperous area of Gufeng City. Any business there would thrive.

For the Gu family, Huixiang Tower was a goldmine, yet it was taken by an unknown kid at the Divine Wander realm!

When this was dug up, everyone was stunned.

Everyone was curious how a kid at the Divine Wander realm had snatched such a prime piece of land from a behemoth like the Gu family.

Even more astonishing was that the Gu family, one of the three great clans, didn't even utter a word!

Ye Yuan had ascended not long ago and had met very few people.

His abilities were currently only known among the upper echelons of Gufeng City.

Although many were in the dark, everyone remained restrained toward this new force that had almost no experts.

Because everyone could see that Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu often walked together, appearing to have a close relationship.

Their manner of speaking and acting didn't seem like that of a senior and junior, but rather like close friends.

With Jun Tianyu backing him, who would dare act rashly?

One day, Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu went together to a trading company in the city.

"Brother Ye, if you're seeking cooperation, shouldn't you approach the strongest, Tianyuan Trading Company? Why choose a small one like Meteor Trading Company?" Jun Tianyu asked, puzzled.

Ye Yuan had his own reasons for curing Gu Qing in exchange for Huixiang Tower.

After entering the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan was now alone. To cultivate quickly, he naturally needed more resources.

But as his realm improved, his demands for resources grew higher and more expensive.

With his current wealth, he simply couldn't afford it.

In the lower realm, Ye Yuan had the backing of a major power like Wufang City and never worried about cultivation resources.

But after arriving in the Divine Realm, everything was different.

So Ye Yuan's top priority was to earn Earth Essence Crystals or contribution points!

Selling pills was the most profitable path, and also the one he was best at.

To sell pills, he needed a stable supply of spiritual herbs, so partnering with a large trading company was the obvious choice.

But what puzzled Jun Tianyu was that Ye Yuan didn't approach the largest trading company in Gufeng City, Tianyuan, but instead chose a second-rate one like Meteor.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Tianyuan Trading Company is at its peak in Gufeng City, holding nearly half the market. How could such a giant look down on our little Medicine Fragrance Pavilion? Cooperating with Tianyuan, we'd have no equal power, and they wouldn't give us any. Rather than hitting a wall, it's better to settle for second best and cooperate with Meteor. Meteor's business share in Gufeng City is very small, always suppressed by Tianyuan. I think... they should be eager to open up the Gufeng City market."

Ye Yuan had already thought of a name for this new shop: Medicine Fragrance Pavilion.

Jun Tianyu was clearly not well-versed in this area and only understood after Ye Yuan's explanation.

But one thing Ye Yuan naturally wouldn't tell Jun Tianyu was that in his previous life, he had a deep friendship with the general manager of Meteor Trading Company.

Having ascended from the lower realm in this life, it was natural to choose a familiar trading company.

"I see! I didn't realize there was so much to it! But I think once they see your pills, they'll be more than willing to cooperate. Your pills are simply amazing!" Jun Tianyu said excitedly.

Ye Yuan had previously let him try the effects of several pills, and the results had astonished him, a Heavenly Enlightenment realm martial artist!

Ye Yuan's pills were far superior to those of the same grade on the market!

More importantly, Ye Yuan's pills were cheaper. If Jun Tianyu were an ordinary martial artist, he would buy Ye Yuan's pills without hesitation!

Ye Yuan smiled and walked into Meteor Trading Company with Jun Tianyu.

"Sir, what do you need? Meteor Trading Company has everything—pills, weapons, techniques. Take your pick!"

As soon as they entered, an old man immediately came up to promote their goods.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Old sir, I see your place is deserted; business doesn't seem too good!"

The old man said, "Sir, though we have few customers, our goods are genuine! Unlike some unscrupulous merchants who cheat martial artists! Young sir, what exactly do you want?"

Ye Yuan said, "I'm not here to buy; I'm here to discuss business. Who's in charge of Meteor Trading Company in Gufeng City?"
