56: Grandpa, can't you be serious for once?

"That's right, Chairman Wei, this is an Immortal Crystal. Can it offset the High-grade Spirit Stones purchased this time?" Li Big Saber asked nonchalantly.

A single Immortal Crystal scared the Chairman of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce so much he sat down on the ground.

If he took out all the Immortal Crystals in his Storage Ring, wouldn't that scare Wei Yan to death on the spot?

However, it was clearly unnecessary to do so.

Judging by Wei Yan's expression, the value of this single Immortal Crystal was enough to completely cover the High-grade Spirit Stones purchased this time.

"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Li, this Immortal Crystal is more than enough."

Hearing this, Wei Yan immediately stood up from the ground and clutched the Immortal Crystal in his hand.

His eyes were full of eagerness, afraid that Li Big Saber might take it back.

Don't underestimate this small crystal; it is a priceless treasure, more than enough to exchange for items below the Saint Realm.

If they encountered a Peak Great Emperor urgently needing it, it could even be exchanged for an ultimate dao emperor weapon.

The Tianbao Chamber of Commerce had hit the jackpot with this transaction.

"Alright, it's settled then. When can I receive everything?" Li Big Saber asked, looking indifferently at Wei Yan.

He wasn't interested in whether the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce lost or gained.

Since this one Immortal Crystal could exchange for everything, it was well worth the price.

Because he truly had a *little* too many Immortal Crystals on him, what did giving up one matter?

"Fellow Daoist Li, please wait in the VIP room. I will immediately notify the Headquarters to mobilize everything. You should receive the items in less than an hour."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he shouted at the attendants nearby, "The few of you, serve Fellow Daoist Li well. If Fellow Daoist Li has even the slightest dissatisfaction, none of you will need to live anymore."

"Yes, Chairman!" The attendants replied, their faces pale with fright.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please wait for me, I'll be right back." Wei Yan said politely with a smile to Li Big Saber, then quickly walked out of the VIP hall.

In a large hall deep within the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

Tens of thousands of Tianbao Chamber of Commerce personnel were busy working in the hall.

It was covered with various Teleportation Arrays.

Various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were being sent to the Headquarters in Central State via these Teleportation Arrays.

The Central State Headquarters would also transmit items needed by the Southern Region via the Teleportation Arrays, ensuring the stable operation of the Southern Region branch.

"Greetings, Chairman!!"

Seeing Wei Yan enter, the people working immediately bowed respectfully.

"Mhm, get back to work!"

Wei Yan nodded and walked toward an empty Teleportation Array.

He sent the Immortal Crystal, the list of items Qingtian Sect required, and some information about Qingtian Sect, all to the Central State Headquarters.

Before Li Big Saber took out the Immortal Crystal, he wouldn't have paid much attention to Qingtian Sect.

Because no matter how strong Qingtian Sect was, it was confined to the remote area of the Southern Region.

His Tianbao Chamber of Commerce was the top power in the entire Canglan Continent; it wouldn't even consider Qingtian Sect significant.

But now that Li Big Saber had produced an Immortal Crystal, something even a Great Emperor Peak Expert dreamed of, the situation was completely different.

He had a responsibility to gather intelligence on Qingtian Sect and report it to the Central State Headquarters.

As for what actions the Central State Headquarters would take, that was beyond his control.

Soon, on the Teleportation Array.

The Storage Ring, containing the Immortal Crystal, Qingtian Sect's information, and the list of required Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, slowly vanished.

At the same time.

In a luxurious courtyard within the Central State Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

An incredibly beautiful young girl who was petting a little white rabbit looked suspiciously toward the door.

At that moment, an attendant rushed over.

"What is the matter that you are rushing so frantically?" Before the attendant could approach, the girl shouted, slightly displeased.

She had always lectured her attendants.

That they must not panic when facing issues, but remain calm and composed, or else they would tarnish the reputation of her Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

"Miss, the Southern Region branch sent a confidential document. It's an extreme emergency." The attendant caught her breath and handed a Storage Ring to the girl.

The girl took the Storage Ring and grumbled discontentedly, "What extreme emergency? Did someone wipe out the Southern Region branch?"

Although she said this, she quickly took out the contents of the Storage Ring.

As the temporary person in charge of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce in Central State, she knew the rules of the Chamber.

Unless it was a matter of extreme importance, the various branches would not use the 'extreme emergency' Teleportation Arrays to send things back.

Following her movements.

The first thing that caught her eye was an Immortal Crystal radiating Immortal Qi.

"Heavens! Is this the legendary Immortal Crystal?"

The girl stared at the Immortal Crystal floating before her.

She jumped up in shock, tossing the little white rabbit she held outside the courtyard.

"Miss, what is an Immortal Crystal?" Seeing the girl startled, the attendant quickly asked from the side.

"Hmph, I told you to read the Treasure Record properly, but you insisted on flirting with those little boys. Now you don't even recognize this thing. You're truly hopeless."

The girl did not answer the attendant's confusion, but continued to take out the items from the Storage Ring.

"Qingtian Sect?"

The girl looked at the introduction of Qingtian Sect and the list of resources it required, her face full of suspicion.

A Saint Realm Sect from the Southern Region was actually able to produce such a rare Immortal Crystal—it truly filled her with questions.

However, now was not the time to consider these matters.

She should quickly send the items Qingtian Sect needed to the Southern Region.

As for Qingtian Sect's secrets, she could investigate those slowly.

"Little Lotus, take this list to the Vice President and tell him to deliver the items to the Southern Region as quickly as possible."

The girl handed the resource list for Qingtian Sect to the attendant beside her.

She instructed her to quickly give it to the Vice President, who oversaw daily operations, so Qingtian Sect could receive the items soon.

"Yes, Miss." Little Lotus took the list and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

"Mhm, I must quickly take the Immortal Crystal to Grandpa and let him absorb its Immortal Qi."

Seeing the attendant leave.

The girl murmured to herself where she stood, then vanished from the courtyard.

In a Secret Realm belonging to the Central State Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

The girl appeared beside an old man who was fast asleep in a rocking chair.

"Hmph, let's see you sleep now. Watch me pinch your ear."

The girl mischievously approached the old man, extending her right hand to pinch his ear.

"Yao'er, how could you do this? I am your biological grandfather."

Seeing the girl reach out to pinch his ear, the old man immediately opened his eyes and spoke sadly.

That wronged little expression made anyone who saw it feel sympathy.

"Grandpa, can't you be serious? You are a Great Emperor Peak Expert, after all. Can't you show some Great Emperor prestige?"

Looking at the old man's wronged expression, Huyan Xiaoyao pouted, speechless.

Her Peak Great Emperor grandfather was completely unserious and just loved to pretend to be pitiful to win sympathy.

"Oh?"

The old man heard this.

He immediately sat up, his expression turning serious, and said in a booming voice, "Xiaoyao, what business brings you to Grandpa?"

That perfectly serious demeanor was completely different from the old man who had just pretended to be wronged.
