In fact, Lin Xiao could roughly guess the power behind the Sky Azure Market.
After all, there weren't many powers that could casually take out a hundred billion high-grade spirit stones. If Lin Xiao didn't guess wrongly, the power behind the Sky Azure Market was most likely the Precious Treasure Pavilion!
However, no matter who was behind the Sky Azure Market, to Lin Xiao, what he wanted to do was very simple. It was to continue expanding the influence of the Northern Howl Trading Company in the Vermilion Bird City and occupy more of the market!
To Lin Xiao, entering a medium-sized trading company was only the beginning. His real goal was to deal with the Precious Treasure Pavilion and replace it!
Because his goal was the entire Central Region!
No matter if it was the Precious Treasure Pavilion, the Beast Sect, the Void Sect, or other sects, as long as they were in his way of unifying the Central Region, he would deal with them one by one.
Perhaps there was still a gap in terms of martial strength, but in terms of money, Lin Xiao didn't want to fall too far behind.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao had already been in the Vermilion Bird City for three months.
Compared to the commotion in the first month, Lin Xiao was much more well-behaved in the last two months and didn't cause any more trouble. During this time, Lin Xiao also focused on stabilizing his development.
Although Lin Xiao's Northern Howl Trading Company had brought some trouble to the Precious Treasure Pavilion in the beginning, Lin Xiao knew that the Northern Howl Trading Company still had a long way to go to turn this kind of trouble into a normal situation.
After all, using losses to attract customers wasn't a long-term solution.
To kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own men, Lin Xiao couldn't do this kind of thing.
In fact, not to mention losing eight hundred of his own men, even if he lost three hundred of his own men, Lin Xiao would still feel that it was a loss. This was because compared to the other powers, Lin Xiao knew that his capital was very poor.
Under such circumstances, to compete with a business giant like the Precious Treasure Pavilion in terms of financial resources, that would be suicidal!
Because of this, Lin Xiao also slowed down the development of the Northern Howl Trading Company. Of course, Lin Xiao didn't give up on his own cultivation either.
With the help of the Ten Thousand Source Pill, Lin Xiao finally broke through the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and officially entered the ranks of the Golden Immortal realm. Although he was only at the first level of the Golden Immortal realm, it was already a qualitative leap!
"Your Majesty, I have important information."
Just as Lin Xiao was cultivating, Ye Xiaoliang's voice came from outside.
Ye Xiaoliang could be considered as an old man by Lin Xiao's side. He knew Lin Xiao very well. Under normal circumstances, Ye Xiaoliang would not disturb Lin Xiao's cultivation.
Since Ye Xiaoliang chose to disturb him, it could only mean that Ye Xiaoliang had very important information!
"Yes."
After hearing Ye Xiaoliang's voice, Lin Xiao came out of his closed-door cultivation and left the mustard seed space. He walked out and asked, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb your cultivation."
Seeing Lin Xiao come out, Ye Xiaoliang immediately apologized and continued, "After many inquiries, I found Liu Yuan's whereabouts!"
"Oh?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Liu Yuan was none other than the Young Sect Leader of the Beast Sect. He was also Lin Xiao's old enemy. Lin Xiao had gone to Liangzhou because of Liu Yuan's invitation.
Of course, Lin Xiao had asked Ye Xiaoliang to inquire about Liu Yuan's whereabouts not because of their enmity, but because of another important matter.
When Lin Xiao first entered the Beast Steppes, he met the king of the Beast Steppes, Huo Feng. According to Huo Feng, the reason why he joined the Beast Steppes and became the contracted beast of the Beast Steppes was mainly because his child had fallen into the hands of the Beast Steppes. Lin Xiao deduced that Huo Feng's child was most likely with the Beast Steppes' Young Lord, Liu Yuan.
Therefore, Lin Xiao asked Ye Xiaoliang to inquire about Liu Yuan's whereabouts.
If he could snatch Fire Phoenix's child back from Liu Yuan, Fire Phoenix would be extremely grateful to him. This would be a great help to Lin Xiao in unifying the Beast Steppes.
Naturally, Liu Yuan's whereabouts were also very important!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at Ye Xiaoliang and raised his eyebrows. He asked, "The Beast Sect is finally willing to open their doors?
Tell me about the Beast Sect's situation! "
Lin Xiao knew a little about the Beast Sect.
Due to the crushing defeat in the Life and Death Arena, the Beast Sect had chosen to close their doors after returning to Zhongzhou.
Under normal circumstances, the seclusion period of these big sects was very long, especially the Beast Sect. They wanted to use this period of time to restore their strength. Lin Xiao originally thought that this seclusion would take at least ten years, but he didn't expect that the Beast Sect would actually open their seclusion in less than a year.
Lin Xiao's intuition told him that something must have happened!
Sure enough, Ye Xiaoliang nodded and said, "The Beast Sect has indeed opened their doors. However, they did not open their doors voluntarily this time. They were forced to do so!"
"Oh?"
Lin Xiao's interest was piqued when he heard this.
The Beast Sect was one of the top ten sects. If they were forced to close their doors, it must not be a small matter.
Under Lin Xiao's signal, Ye Xiaoliang said directly, "Not long ago, in a forest near Yuluo Manor, a rare descendant of a sacred beast was discovered. It is very likely that they came out of seclusion because of this news."
Descendant of a sacred beast!
A glint flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes when he heard these words. He curled his lips into a smile and said, "Have you tried to find out about this?
Where is Yuluo Manor? "
"I've made some rough inquiries," said Wang Yao.
Ye Xiaoliang nodded and explained the situation of Yuluo Manor and the descendant of a sacred beast to Lin Xiao word for word. He said, "Your Majesty, are you planning to make a trip to Yuluo Manor?"
"Of course!"
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Since I know, of course I have to make a trip. Moreover, the goal of this trip is not only the descendant of a sacred beast!"
"Yes!
I will make preparations now! "
Ye Xiaoliang knew Lin Xiao's character very well. Therefore, he was not surprised by Lin Xiao's decision. He nodded and said.
"No need."
Lin Xiao shook his head and looked at Ye Xiaoliang, "You can stay in Vermilion Bird City at ease. The Northern Howl Trading Company here has not stabilized yet. It cannot leave you.
I have my own arrangements for the trip to Yuluo Manor! "
"Yes!"
Ye Xiaoliang had always obeyed Lin Xiao's orders.
He also knew that his cultivation was not good enough. He was only an Emerging Golden Immortal. Even if he went with Lin Xiao, he would not be of much help. It was better to stay and do what he was good at.
Lin Xiao's style was still rather swift and decisive. After making some simple preparations, he directly brought Long Fei and quietly left the Vermilion Bird City.
There was no choice!
Lin Xiao was now considered a celebrity in Vermilion Bird City. If he wanted to travel, he had to keep a low profile. After all, this trip to Yuluo Manor was a secret. The fewer people who knew, the better.
