In the dark chamber, candlelight flickered.
Qing Yu’s eyes were closed and his knees were crossed, his body’s true qi was circulating, and his surrounding acupuncture points were constantly sucking in heaven and earth’s yuan qi as he charged through.
It had been quite some time since he had broken through to the fifth level of the Ascendant, and without such spiritual medicines as the Blood Spirit Ginseng, Qing Yu’s breakthrough had been relatively slow.
The good thing was that the original purpose of the “Heavenly Man Transmigration Method” he had created was to intermingle with the vital energy of heaven and earth, and to absorb vital energy from time to time, so that his own power could catch up with his mind faster. Although he had been neglecting his training due to various matters, he had made considerable progress with the spontaneous operation of the “Heavenly Man Transmigration Method”, which had accumulated little by little and over time.
And after Han Wenxin’s arrival, Qing Yu finally settled down and refined his cultivation for a few days, and having accumulated enough, he began to charge through.
“Hoo ——” Qing Yu suddenly exhaled a mouthful of white air like an arrow, his eyes opened and his true qi tumbled around his body, raising waves of qi.
The accumulation had been sufficient, the breakthrough was complete, and now, Qing Yu was at the sixth level of Xiantian realm.
A short while later, Qing Yu controlled the surge of true qi and the tumbling waves of qi returned to nothingness.
He got up and left the dark room. Outside was the first secret room where Qing Yu often discussed matters with the Pill Master, who had been waiting inside for a long time.
“My lord.” The Medicine Master greeted.
“Well, you’re here.” Qing Yu leaned back casually on the tai shi chair, “In recent days, how is Han Wenxin’s side?”
“As instructed by Your Excellency, I handed over the matter of opening up the sales routes to Han Wenxin to take over. However, instead of dealing with Feng Yixian and the others, he avoided Feng Yixian and tried to befriend the Shadow House and gain its support.”
“He’s not stupid after all.”
Qing Yu was not surprised by Han Wenxin’s choice. The bodies of the six dead soldiers who had carried out the a*sault had all been carried back, so Han Wenxin must have known that Feng Yixian’s side was a difficult bone to chew and wanted to befriend other forces.
“Keenly, he avoided the forces that were involved with Feng Yixian and chose the Shadow House. Unfortunately, among these forces, the one with the least chance of success is the studio.”
The Shadow House was known as the “Great Qian of Shadows”, with branches all over the country, and Qing Yu did not believe that it had no connection with the court. Although it had been three hundred years since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, the royal family had become so weak that some people had started to drag their feet.
But the dynasty was still in its heyday, and it was still far from the end of its stormy days. How could such a flourishing imperial dynasty, if not for a reason, accommodate a Shadow House whose power was spread throughout the country.
According to Qing Yu’s guess, the owner of the Shadow House was probably also a member of the imperial court, or perhaps even a member of the royal family.
In this case, the Shadow Tower is actually not very different from Department Six, both are official organisations, only one is in the light and the other in the dark. The official organisation, above all, wants to maintain local stability.
The circle of interests in Linchuan Prefecture has existed for so many years that it has long been integrated into the environment of Linchuan Prefecture, and any attempt by the Sixth Prince’s forces to intervene would cause huge upheaval. Therefore, the chances of Han Wenxin’s pulling in the Shadow House succeeding were not really high.
“What about Feng Yixian and Tian Pingji’s side?” Qing Yu had asked.
Even if it was just a guess and not certain who sent the dead soldiers that day, Qing Yu still had to investigate Feng Yixian and Tian Pingji and the others. A potential enemy was more threatening than an open enemy, and Kiyoharu didn’t want to wait until the day Feng Yi Xian and the others hit his doorstep before it dawned on him that it was you, which would look really stupid.
The pharmacist handed over a piece of information, “The East Sea Chamber of Commerce that Tian Pingji is in, since the East Sea is too far away from here, our people cannot confirm if the East Sea Chamber of Commerce really exists. However, judging from the current performance of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce, they are very wealthy and powerful.”
Qing Yu looked over the movements of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce in various aspects these days, as provided by the Medicine Master. From the current situation, it seemed that the East Sea Chamber of Commerce also wanted to take a share in the interests of Linchuan Province.
The East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has the same aims as Qingyu and the others, but compared to Qingyu and the others who have not yet made much progress, the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has already made allies, with Feng Yixian’s Cao Gang and the Zheng family of the Linchuan Commercial Union both sitting at the table and sharing the cake. The East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is more than one or two steps ahead of the game.
“With the help of the Cao Gang and the Zheng Family, the chances of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce succeeding in entering Linchuan Province are already fifty percent, the rest ——” Qing Yu suddenly raised his voice slightly, “Wait, I remember that —— Feng Yixian has a friendship with Lin Teng Yuan, the constable of Department Six, right, or not the shallow kind. ”
“Yes. Feng Yixian led the Cao Gang to help Department Six clear the water bandits around Linchuan Province and maintain the safety of the Luoshui River Road. Lin Fujiwon when ate was credited with fighting the bandits and was promoted to the head constable of Department Six in Linchuan Province.
In return, Lin Fujiyuan supported the Cao Gang to become the leader of the Jianghu forces in Linchuan Prefecture. The relationship between the two men has remained unchanged over the years. Feng Yixian would invite Lin Fujiyuan to a banquet on the 15th day of every month at the best Express House in the prefecture, and this has been the case for many years, except for a few special occasions, and Lin Fujiyuan has never been absent.” The medicine man replied.
In this way, the East Sea Chamber of Commerce’s entry into the circle of interest in Lin Chuan Prefecture would not only have a fifty-fifty chance, but an eighty-four percent chance. Both the black and white channels supported him, and if this could not succeed, then who else could succeed.
A Feng Yixian had actually become an important pivot, stringing together all the forces to support the entry of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce. Compared to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, Han Wenxin and other people from the Sixth Prince’s forces were too pitiful.
Qing Yu tapped his fingers on the table, as was his habit when thinking.
“Why did Feng Yixian support the East Sea Chamber of Commerce, have you gotten any insight into this matter?”
The Medicine Master shook his head, “Your Excellency forgives me. The mansion where the East Sea Chamber of Commerce is located, whether it be the underlings or the guards, they were all brought to Lin Chuan House and did not seek out any locals. If they had opened their shop, there might have been a chance to put someone in, but right now, there is no way to do so.
However, there are rumours from sources that Feng Yi Xian’s hometown is in the East China Sea, so it’s probably because of that.”
The situation of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is like this. The underlings, the guards, all sorts of people from various aspects were brought from the East China Sea, absolutely trusted people, and secrecy was kept to the extreme.
The shop has not yet opened, and if it does, I believe the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce will not mind bringing in another group of stewards from the East China Sea. Even if outsiders wanted to put in undercover agents, they could only put in some ordinary staff, and would basically have no access to any secrets.
“However, this is exactly what I want ——,” Qing Yu did not care about this cautious secrecy measure, but showed a smile of triumph.
Sometimes, not dripping water does not mean dripping water does not leak, think in a different direction, things will be much easier.
