Xuan Yuan Hao Kong frowned and asked, “What is your name?”
“Tan Yun,” Tan Yun replied truthfully.
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong then said kindly, “Little Yunzi, you should think about it some more!”
“You have extraordinary talent and are challenging opponents above your level without any precedent.”
Seeing Xuan Yuan Hao Kong's earnest expression, Tan Yun remained unmoved and insisted on pursuing business.
“Alas!” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong sighed, feeling disappointed. “Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you to change it.”
“Little Yunzi, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to the third Xuan Yuan副峰 to find me, remember?”
Tan Yun felt a warm current in his heart and nodded, saying, “Alright, I will remember.”
“If one day Xuan Yuan Immortal City is in trouble, I will do my best to help.”
“Hahaha, having this intention is enough.” After laughing, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong asked, “Oh right, what business do you plan to do?”
Tan Yun replied truthfully, “I plan to do business in pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans.”
“Hmm?” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong was taken aback and shook his head with a smile. “Little Yunzi, you probably won't be able to do that.”
“Why not?” Tan Yun asked in confusion.
“It’s like this,” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong explained with a smile. “All the alchemical masters, celestial artifact masters, immortal talisman masters, and celestial formation masters in Xuan Yuan Immortal City, even the revered masters, are all under the management of our Xuan Yuan Immortal City.”
“You cannot get supplies from them.”
“Therefore, I say you cannot open a shop.”
“Moreover, once you enter Xuan Yuan Immortal City, you cannot leave the city without permission from our City Lord's Mansion. The purpose of this is to prevent collusion between the people in the city and high-level individuals from outside.”
“If you know any immortals who can refine pills, artifacts, talismans, or formations outside the city, due to being unable to leave the city, you will have even less chance of obtaining supplies.”
“With that, how can you do business?”
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong chuckled and said, “Little Yunzi, I really like you. Listen to me, if you can’t do business, come to me instead. Learn how to lead troops and battle, unify the abandoned lands, and eradicate the high-level immortals!”
“Only by eliminating those beasts can our abandoned land become a paradise for immortals!”
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong thought that after saying all this, Tan Yun would certainly give up his business plan, but Tan Yun did not.
Tan Yun smiled and said, “I appreciate the favor of the Celestial Being. I can feel it. However, I still want to do business because I have some understanding of the four arts: pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans.”
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong shook his head. He did not inquire about Tan Yun's level in the four arts. In his view, Tan Yun had just ascended to the Immortal Realm, and even if he understood the four arts, it would only be superficial knowledge.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, a silver beam of light shot from the distant sky, transforming into a heroic female general clad in armor.
“General, I have urgent news to report!” The female general said anxiously.
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong raised his white eyebrows and said, “Speak.”
The female general reported, “General, over a million immortals from Dragon Cloud Immortal City have appeared six billion immortal li to the east of our city. It seems they are heading towards us.”
The Dragon Cloud Immortal City she mentioned was one of the nine giant cities built by high-level beings!
“Hmm, I understand. Continue to observe!” Xuan Yuan Hao Kong said with a solemn expression.
After the female general received her orders, she shot back into the sky and disappeared…
Xuan Yuan Hao Kong turned to Tan Yun and said, “Little Yunzi, remember what I said. If your business can’t continue, come find me.”
“I have noted it,” Tan Yun replied. Afterward, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong flipped his right hand and handed a jade tablet to Tan Yun. “This is the map jade tablet of our city; you can take it.”
