Chapter 2522: Chapter 2522: No Small Ambition
As time went by, more and more cultivators or forces purchased Qianhe Zhenye from the Hongmeng Pill Tower, and the effects of Qianhe Zhenye were recognized by major forces.
Even the high price of two trillion Black Crystal Stones per unit couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of cultivators and forces for Qianhe Zhenye. However, having enough Black Crystal Stones alone wasn’t enough to buy Qianhe Zhenye; it also required a certain status or strong personal strength, and no enmity with Hongmeng City. Of course, Qianhe Zhenye was not supplied in unlimited quantities to any cultivator or force; even the Golden Toad Commerce could only purchase six pills of Qianhe Zhenye from Hongmeng City. If they wanted more, they would have to wait a longer period.
Under this influence, the active population of Hongmeng City smoothly surpassed 200 million and was rapidly moving towards 300 million.
The profit brought by Qianhe Zhenye was beyond imagination!
It could be said that Hongmeng City had already entered the ranks of large cities in the Heavenly Domain. Looking across the entire Heavenly Domain, Hongmeng City now could be considered a large city. Compared to the main cities of those superpowers, it was not much different.
On this day, a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat marked with the Tianji Trading House emblem entered the Thunder Domain and arrived outside Hongmeng City.
Yes, this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat was the one that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable and others took from Zixiao City.
The resources of the Tianji Trading House were truly astounding.
The Heavenly Domain Flying Boat was a colossal object, requiring massive resources as energy supply every time it started and stopped. The cost of the flying boat itself was also quite high; generally, only superpowers could afford to play with a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat. Even first-class forces in the Heavenly Domain found it challenging to build one, being unable to bear that astonishing cost.
When a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat approached Hongmeng City, it was impossible not to draw attention. In the Thunder Domain, such flying boats were not very difficult to see because Kunling Heaven was so vast that the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat had become an indispensable means of transportation. When Jing Yan first arrived in Kunling Heaven, he also took a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat from Zixiao City to the Thunder Domain.
However, within the Thunder Domain, Heavenly Domain Flying Boats were almost unseen. Those transporting business forces have, so far, not extended the transportation routes of the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat into the Thunder Domain.
Therefore, when the Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boat entered the Thunder Domain and flew within it, it caught the notice of many cultivators and adventurers. Although the Thunder Domain was chaotic and full of robbers, few would dare to rob a Tianji Trading House Heavenly Domain Flying Boat. This flying boat smoothly arrived at Hongmeng City.
Outside Hongmeng City, a large number of cultivators and adventurers had already gathered to watch the Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boat.
"It’s the Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boat."
"Aren’t the Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boats only used for transport within the Chaotic Primordial Space, from one Heavenly Domain to another? Why would this one come to Hongmeng City?" A cultivator asked in confusion.
"I’m afraid someone important from the Tianji Trading House is on this flying boat. It could be the President of the Tianji Trading House," a cultivator mused.
"I’ve heard that the Tianji Trading House has a good relationship with Hongmeng City. There’s an elder named Ge Yi with the Tianji Trading House; he’s a high-level VIP in Hongmeng City and eligible to enter the highest Advanced Cultivation Room in the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Under the gaze of countless cultivators, a hatch on the side of the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat slowly opened.
The first to fly out were the guards dressed in uniforms bearing the Tianji Trading House’s insignia. The aura of these guards was solid, with each having considerable strength, and some of the team leader-level guards had even reached the Immortal Venerate Realm. After all the guards flew out, a few moments later, the crowd saw three figures slowly emerge.
The leader was none other than Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, ranked third on the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet as a formidable Immortal Venerable powerhouse.
Elder Kang Li of the Eight Gods Pill Sect and Elder Ge Yi of the Tianji Trading House were on either side of Hou Yang. Their positions, slightly behind Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, demonstrated that Hou Yang’s status was above theirs.
"I recognize that one; it’s Elder Ge Yi of the Tianji Trading House, also a high-level VIP of Hongmeng City," remarked a cultivator who recognized Elder Ge Yi.
"Right, the one in the gray robe is indeed Elder Ge Yi."
"Elder Kang Li of the Eight Gods Pill Sect? Isn’t the Eight Gods Pill Sect on bad terms with Hongmeng City? Why would Elder Kang Li of the Eight Gods Pill Sect come to Hongmeng City with Elder Ge Yi of the Tianji Trading House, and on a Tianji Trading House Heavenly Domain Flying Boat no less?" asked a cultivator who recognized Kang Li, an High Grade Immortal Alchemist.
"Did you notice? Both Elder Kang Li and Elder Ge Yi are standing slightly behind that middle-aged man. Clearly, that middle-aged man’s status is higher than the two elders," a cultivator wondered aloud.
"Who is that? Could it be the President of the Tianji Trading House?" someone asked excitedly.
"No, Tianji Trading House President Jiang Yue—I have seen before. This person is definitely not President Jiang Yue," an Immortal Venerate Realm cultivator shook his head and stated confidently.
Figures like the Tianji Trading House President, though seldom seen publicly, would inevitably be seen by some cultivators over millions of years. Thus, while the leaders of superpowers might not be too unfamiliar to innumerable cultivators, an exception was made for certain leaders like the Palace Master of Yama Palace.
"If it’s not the President of the Tianji Trading House, then who is it? Could it be the Sect Master of the Eight Gods Pill Sect? No, although I haven’t seen the Sect Master, I’ve heard he’s quite old. This one looks middle-aged," an adventurer remarked.
Numerous cultivators debated for a while, and no one recognized Hou Yang Immortal Venerable. These cultivators might be familiar with Hou Yang’s name, but it was normal for them not to have seen Hou Yang Immortal Venerable in person. Even aside from ordinary cultivators, few leaders of major forces might have met Hou Yang Immortal Venerable himself.
As the Tianji Trading House’s Heavenly Domain Flying Boat approached Hongmeng City, the City Lord Jing Yan could not possibly be unaware.
Inside the City Lord Mansion, Jing Yan was discussing the matter with Grand Steward Bai Han.
"City Lord, the arrivals don’t seem friendly!" Bai Han said solemnly.
"Hmm. Such a large formation clearly has aims, and it’s evident their aim is not small," Jing Yan nodded.
While speaking, Bai Han sensed an incoming communication; he took out a Communication Magical Treasure. It was a message from Supervisor Ru Li. After reading it, his face darkened.
"City Lord, there’s an elder named Kang Li from the Eight Gods Pill Sect who also came out of that Heavenly Domain Flying Boat," Bai Han informed Jing Yan.
