Chapter 1220: The Yangming Chamber of Commerce
If Ou Yangming had just arrived in the Spiritual Realm, he might have avoided Advanced Spiritualists. Now, to him, Advanced Spiritualists were no different from ordinary people who had not cultivated.
Ou Yangming still wanted to see Ni Yinghong as soon as possible. He did not plan to waste time with the fat guy. He raised his foot and stepped on Fatty Hu’s body.
“Stop!” At this moment, someone shouted coldly.
His voice was loud and clear, and his aura was extraordinary.
Ou Yangming did not stop. He stepped hard, and Fatty Hu fell heavily to the ground. The foundation of his cultivation was directly destroyed by the foot.
The young fellow did not kill Fatty Hu, but he also did not give him the slightest chance to turn the tables. From now on, it was impossible for the fatty to get up.
Ou Yangming had fulfilled what he had just said, turning him into a complete waste.
Not far away, 2 people walked over.
Both of them were wearing exquisite long robes. The person who had asked Ou Yangming to stop was one of them. Seeing that the young fellow did not pay any attention to him, that person’s expression changed drastically, and his gaze instantly became malicious.
“Big Boss, save us!” The few guards looked as if they had seen their savior.
“Big Boss?”
Hearing the term of address, everyone was surprised. They had just been talking about the boss behind the Fuhai Spiritual Medicine Store, and they saw him so quickly.
“Could this person be the Advanced Spiritualist that Fatty Hu mentioned just now?” Everyone looked at the person in surprise.
The grey-robed man who spoke just now glanced at the person beside him and said, “Sir Zhang, I’ve let you see a joke. I didn’t expect that someone would be so rampant in my territory. After I take him down, the two of us will discuss the matter of cooperation.”
With that, the grey-robed man immediately made his move.
He stomped on the ground with one foot, and his body was like a flash of light as he pounced toward Ou Yangming. His hand turned into a sharp claw, and he suddenly clawed toward Ou Yangming’s neck.
This claw clearly did not intend to leave any way out for Ou Yangming.
“So fast!”
The people around were greatly shocked. When they saw the grey-robed man’s actions, they secretly cried out in their hearts. There were also a few cultivators in the crowd. They realized that they could not see the grey-robed man’s actions clearly at all.
An Advanced Spiritualist was indeed extraordinary. Everyone looked at the young fellow in silence.
Fatty Hu had been acting arrogantly in Butterfly City, which had long drawn everyone’s displeasure. Now that he had been taught a lesson by this young fellow, the fellow could be considered to have helped everyone vent their anger.
Nonetheless, this young fellow’s life could not be saved!
No one dared to stop an Advanced Spiritualist. In Butterfly City, an Advanced Spiritualist was already a top-tier existence. Even their governor was only in that realm.
Ou Yangming’s eyes carried a light smile. Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, he raised a hand and lightly slapped forward.
This slap looked soft, but Ou Yangming had only used 1% of his strength. 1% of a powerhouse in the second step was still terrifying. It was something that ordinary people could not imagine.
“Bang!”
Before the grey-robed man’s claws could touch Ou Yangming’s body, his body exploded in the air, turning into a bloody mist.
Ou Yangming’s expression was calm as if he had just smacked a bug to death.
The world quieted down, and the grey-robed man’s body disappeared into thin air.
“This…”
The grey-robed man mysteriously disappeared. Everyone did not react for a long time. After a while, everyone saw the fresh blood on the ground and guessed something.
Ou Yangming’s movement was very slow. Everyone saw it, but his slow movement allowed him to hit the grey-robed man’s body.
His power..,
Everyone felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in their throat. They could not say a word for a long time. This was too exaggerated. ‘That was an Advanced Spiritualist. How could he explode with a slap?’
The guards’ eyes were filled with fear. When they looked at Ou Yangming, it was as if they were looking at a devil king from hell.
Their boss, who was an Advanced Spiritualist, was actually…
Everyone could not believe it, but the truth was right in front of them.
They finally understood how lucky they were to be alive. If that young fellow was serious, he could kill them 10,000 times with a single finger.
Fatty Hu had fainted. Just as Ou Yangming had slapped the grey-robed man to death, he had fainted. They did not know if he would have the chance to wake up in the future.
Ou Yangming used the most violent method to crush the last glimmer of hope in Fatty Hu’s heart. He could only fall into a deep sleep in endless despair.
A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked over from the crowd. He was the person who had stood beside the grey-robed man earlier. He looked at Ou Yangming with a complicated look in his eyes.
“Are you planning to take revenge for that guy?” Ou Yangming turned around and glanced at him.
“No… No…”
The man hurriedly said. He looked at Ou Yangming and carefully said, “My name is Zhang Bei, the person in charge of the Yangming Chamber of Commerce in Butterfly City. Sir, is your name Ou Yangming?”
“You know my name?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have understood something from the moment the man said the words “Yangming Chamber of Commerce”.
“Sir, it’s really you!”
Zhang Bei’s eyes were filled with excitement. He suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly, “I’m Steward Zhang from the Yangming Chamber of Commerce. Greetings, President.”
The crowd instantly became lively.
Everyone looked at Ou Yangming excitedly. ‘This person is actually the president of the Yangming Chamber of Commerce. Is the president of the Yangming Chamber of Commerce so young?’
Zhang Bei was quite famous in Butterfly City. Many people knew him. Even he was kneeling on the ground, so it must be true.
‘No wonder…’
Everyone suddenly understood. If this young fellow had such a status, everything could be explained.
The Yangming Chamber of Commerce was like the largest chamber of commerce in Danzhou. It was famous in the Spiritual Realm. In just a year’s time, it had risen rapidly, sweeping through everything like locusts, occupying more than half of the market and transactions in Danzhou.
It was rumored that the Yangming Chamber of Commerce had a great background and that the several large sects in Danzhou were inextricably linked to it.
There were many legends about the Yangming Chamber of Commerce. Everyone only knew that the person in charge was a woman of unparalleled beauty. As for the real president, no one knew who it was.
Having said that, there were rumors that the president of the Yangming Chamber of Commerce had long broken through to a Venerable One and had left the Spiritual Realm for a broader world. As for what that world was, most people in the Spiritual Realm were not qualified to know.
All kinds of legends shrouded the Yangming Chamber of Commerce in a mysterious color.
Everyone remembered Ou Yangming’s appearance in their hearts. In the future, this would also become their bragging capital. After all, the topic of the Yangming Chamber of Commerce never lacked loyal listeners.
The Yangming Chamber of Commerce was very famous. Even the most ordinary people knew about it. The old man selling candied haws looked at Ou Yangming with an incredulous look. He could not associate this young man, who did not even have 2 copper coins, with that famous chamber of commerce.
Ou Yangming looked at Zhang Bei, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, “Get up.”
Only then did Zhang Bei stand up respectfully. As he was walking with the grey-robed man just now, he was afraid that Ou Yangming would misunderstand, so he explained in a low voice, “I have nothing to do with that guy just now. That person is the boss of the Fuhai Spiritual Medicine Store. He came to me and wanted to cooperate with our chamber of commerce, and he gave me very generous conditions. With a responsible attitude toward the chamber of commerce, I just accompanied him to take a look. I didn’t expect…”
Ou Yangming already knew what happened after that, so there was no need for him to continue.
“Okay, I got it.” Ou Yangming nodded.
He asked again, “How did you recognize me?”
Zhang Bei said respectfully, “President, you have no idea. Your portrait is hung in every branch of our chamber of commerce. It was the request of the vice president so almost every member now knows your appearance.”
“I see.” Ou Yangming revealed a bitter smile. He looked into the short distance and asked, “How is she now?”
Of course, Zhang Bei knew who Ou Yangming was asking about. He replied in a deep voice, “The vice president has been working very hard for the chamber of commerce these two years. 90% of the reason we could develop so fast is thanks to her contribution. The vice president went to Youzhou for business a few days ago and hasn’t come back yet.”
“Hmm.” Ou Yangming nodded with mixed feelings.
He pointed at the old man not far away and said, “Steward Zhang, arrange an easy job for this old man in the chamber of commerce.”
“Yes, sir.” Zhang Bei nodded hurriedly.
Ou Yangming was a man who distinguished between gratitude and hatred.
Many people looked at the old man enviously. It was a good thing for countless people to work in the Yangming Chamber of Commerce. Seeing the store whose wall had been smashed into a big hole, everyone understood that the Fuhai Spiritual Medicine Store was done for. No one could save them if they offended the Yangming Chamber of commerce.
Zhang Bei left with the old man while Ou Yangming gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Soon, Ou Yangming appeared in another corner of Butterfly City. This was the center of the city and also the gathering place of the cultivators here.
The people living here were either rich or noble, and there were many powerful cultivators. Different from other places in the city, Ou Yangming saw many human cultivators in the Spiritual Realm here.
In the middle of the venue not far away, a large group of people was there. From time to time, gasps could be heard from the crowd. Ou Yangming smiled and quickly walked over.
The spiritual power on his body gently pushed away the people around him, and he quickly squeezed into the crowd. In the open space of the square, a smithing table that was burning with flames was placed there. At the table was a delicate and capable lady. At this moment, she was focused on smithing, and the chaotic sounds around were all ignored by her.
‘The integration of Heaven and man!’ Ou Yangming looked at the young lady’s state and said in surprise. He did not expect that Ni Yinghong had become an excellent blacksmith less than 2 years after he left the Spiritual Realm.
The young lady did not notice that someone was sizing her up in the crowd. She was still focused on smithing. After a while, Ni Yinghong wiped the sweat off her head and used a tool to take out a scalding sword.
It was not over yet. A groove had been made on the sword. Ni Yinghong inlaid a transparent gem on it.
After a while, the sword was completed. Ni Yinghong placed the sword on the smithing table and exhaled lightly.
“What’s the level of the sword?” Someone had used the Appraisal Art impatiently.
