"Is there really only one spot?" Lu Yin looked back at Bi Lan.
Bi Lan helplessly replied, "One spot is already pretty good, and it's only because of my surname."
Lu Yin understood. Bi, as in Bi Rong, meant that her status in Yi Xing was not simple.
"Let's wait. The person who wants to come won't arrive that quickly."
…
In the Outerverse, on a giant spacecraft outside of Myriad City, Madam Nalan stretched lazily as she watched the distant city shrink before leaving.
She wore a thin silk dress that faintly revealed her figure. She was enchanting and beautiful, but unfortunately, no one could appreciate her beauty.
She picked up a book, lay down, and quietly read it.
This book came from Myriad City, and it was the most popular book in the city. It was also the most popular book in the entire Fifth Mainland. It was called The Legendary Daolord, and it recorded Lu Yin's legendary past. Almost everyone in the Fifth Mainland had a copy.
As she read, Madam Nalan grew sleepy.
At that moment, an old woman's voice came from outside. "Madam, the transaction has begun."
Madam Nalan grunted. "Let them do as they wish."
"Yes." The old woman retreated.
There were many things that Madam Nalan did not need to worry about. On the Fifth Mainland, no one dared to lie to the Nalan Family. Everyone knew that the Nalan Family had helped Lu Yin many times when he had just started out, and they had Lu Yin's backing. Madam Nalan could also enter the Above the Sky Sect at any time. Doing business with such an existence would make anyone want to lose money in exchange for a favor.
Furthermore, there was no one else who was worthy of Madam Nalan showing up.
The wisest decision for the Nalan family was to invest in Lu Yin, which would allow the Nalan family to prosper for tens of thousands of years.
At that moment, the old woman returned. "Madam, the Second Nightking requests an audience."
Madam Nalan was shocked. "The Second Nightking?"
She hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out. The Second Nightking could not possibly come to see her, and there was only one person in the universe who could make him run errands for her.
"Greetings, Madam."
The Second Nightking was extremely polite to Madam Nalan. He knew that this woman was one of the few people that Lu Yin cared about. Although they had not met much, her importance in Lu Yin's heart was not low.
Madam Nalan looked at the Second Nightking and smiled faintly. "Sir, what business do you have here?"
"I've been ordered by the Daolord to invite Madam to the Sky Sect."
…
Bi Lan sat alone in the Sky Sect's back mountain. Lu Yin had already left, and he could not stay by her side forever.
And the person Bilan saw the most was Zhao Ran.
She wanted to learn more about Lu Yin from Zhao Ran. After all, he was the master of the Primordial Space, and the essence of the transaction was not a commodity, but a person.
In order to get information from Zhao Ran, she kept praising Zhao Ran's tea. She drank five cups in a row. With Zhao Ran's unusual method, each cup was shocking, but it was unexpectedly delicious. Bi Lan didn't know what to say.
Finally, after drinking her sixth cup, Zhao Ran affectionately called her sister. She felt that the time had come. "Little Sister Zhao Ran, how old is Master Lu this year?"
Zhao Ran was at a loss. "Who is Master Lu?"
Bilan was startled and sized up Zhao Ran. Was this girl playing with her?
"That's the guy just now."
"Oh, you mean His Highness?
I don't know. "
"Does Daoist Master Lu often receive guests here?"
"I don't know. Sorry, Zhao Ran is out of stock."
"I didn't scold you."
"No. Eh? Big Sister, is this your first time here?
Would you like some tea? "
Bilan could tell that this girl was playing dumb. She rolled her eyes. "Alright, I'll drink.
Okay, I don't want to drink anymore.
Zhao Ran was disappointed. "Big Sister, if you want to drink tea, just call me. I'm not far away, and I'll hear you if you shout. Big Sister, you haven't tried my tea before. It's really delicious. His Highness and the others all like it."
Bilan blinked and watched Zhao Ran leave. She had already drunk eight cups, but she still hadn't tried it before?
Filled with resentment towards Zhao Ran, Bilan waited for Madam Nalan to arrive.
The moment she saw her, Bilan knew that this woman was too suitable for Yi Xing.
She had a beautiful yet fresh face, and her every movement exuded a mature charm. This was an important advantage for a businesswoman. Her face was slightly pale, but it made her look even more delicate. This was especially true for her skin, which was sparkling and snow-white. Her skin was like ice and jade, and her smile was enough to cause ripples in one's heart.
She wasn't pretentious, but she was more attractive than any other woman. Her maturity was something that couldn't be underestimated.
She was a natural-born businesswoman who had always been successful.
"Liu Fuxue greets Miss Bilan."
Madam Nalan smiled and bowed. She was neither servile nor overbearing, and when she stood next to Bilan, it seemed as if she was the guide instead of Bilan.
Bilan reacted, as she had seen too many people before. Although Madam Nalan had made her eyes light up, she still had to ask the necessary questions. Yi Xing wasn't someone that anyone could join, and even if they didn't need to pass Yi Xing's special test, they still needed to have the most basic judgment.
Bilan asked Madam Nalan a few questions, all of which were related to business. Madam Nalan had dominated the Outerverse's business world for many years and had brought the Nalan family to such heights. How could she be stumped by these questions?
Even Zhu Ye had passed the test, so Lu Yin was rather confident in Madam Nalan's abilities.
"If the other party was a Progenitor and asked you to reduce your commission, what would you do?"
Bilan asked. This was her last question, and although it wasn't considered a test question, she still wanted to ask.
She wanted to see Madam Nalan's answer and use it to determine the temperament of the people in the Primordial Space.
She had asked this question to many people, including Yi Xing and the other newcomers, and their answers were more or less the same.
In most people's minds, Progenitors were the pinnacle of the universe. If such a person spoke, they would have to give face in exchange for a favorable impression of Yi Xing.
This answer wasn't wrong, but it wasn't outstanding either.
Madam Nalan looked up and met Bilan's eyes. "No."
"Why?"
Bilan was calm, as there were many people who gave such an answer. Some people liked to take a different approach in order to attract her attention.
Madam Nalan revealed a mesmerizing smile. "Because this is Yi Xing's rule."
Bilan raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid of provoking enemies for Yi Xing?
If any Progenitor is hostile to Yi Xing, it might attract trouble, and it would be even more troublesome for you. "
Madam Nalan smiled. "If Yi Xing is afraid of trouble, then why would he make a deal with a Progenitor?
A person's greed is limitless, and it has nothing to do with one's realm. If he makes a deal with a Progenitor, then he'll have to take a step back. "
"As for myself, I'll just leave Yi Xing. I don't care."
Bilan's gaze turned cold. "You don't care?
Do you understand Yi Xing?
Do you know how many people dream of joining Yi Xing? "
Madam Nalan combed her hair. "I don't understand, and I don't need to understand. I'm very satisfied with my current state of life. Now, I don't need to scheme against anyone, and I don't need to fight for small profits. The other party will naturally give me the biggest profit, even if he doesn't want it."
Bilan looked deeply at Madam Nalan, and the coldness in her gaze faded, turning into a smile. "Then I'll have to disappoint you. Congratulations, from now on, you're Yi Xing's person, and I'll be your guide."
She said.
She took out an eye and handed it to Madam Nalan.
Madam Nalan was a little disappointed, but she didn't care too much. To be able to enjoy peace and endure pain, this was a qualified merchant.
However, this eye was too terrifying.
"This is my symbol, and it's also what you'll rely on to travel through time in the future. With it, not many people can attack you, even if the other party is an Progenitor." Bilan introduced.
Madam Nalan put it away.
"I'll give you one day to prepare, and you'll leave with me tomorrow. Once you join Yi Xing, you'll lose your personal identity. You'll represent Yi Xing, and Yi Xing will protect you. You're not allowed to participate in any disputes outside of Yi Xing unless Yi Xing agrees to it." Bilan warned her before stepping into the void and leaving.
She didn't go far, but instead stayed outside Above the Sky Sect, waiting to take Madam Nalan away at this time tomorrow.
Madam Nalan sat down on the spot and propped her chin up with one hand. She stared into the distance in a daze, like a beautiful statue.
Lu Yin arrived and sat down across from her.
"Actually, I don't really want to leave. I'm very satisfied with my current life." Madam Nalan spoke slowly, not looking at Lu Yin as she continued to stare into the distance.
Lu Yin smiled. "Just treat it as a favor. I need someone to join Yi Xing."
"What's your goal?" she asked.
Lu Yin thought about it. "I haven't thought of it yet, but I suddenly thought of it. If I can think of something in the future, I'll contact you."
Madam Nalan sighed and put down her pure white arm. She looked at Lu Yin with a mesmerizing smile. "Merchants pursue profit. If I help you, what can you give me in return?"
Lu Yin replied, "That depends on what you want."
Madam Nalan chuckled, her eyes bright and filled with Lu Yin's image. "What if I say that I want you?"
Lu Yin was stunned and then smiled bitterly. "Are you going to do this every time we meet? Be careful not to burn yourself."
Madam Nalan laughed heartily. "I really want to see what the great Dao Master Lu looks like when he loses control."
Lu Yin shook his head. "Enter Yi Xing. Stay there in peace. That's another world. You can only see the true universe there."
Madam Nalan rolled her eyes. "With the truth, there will always be danger."
"If you're in danger, I'll save you."
"The kind that disregards everything?"
"You can say that."
Madam Nalan stood up and winked playfully at Lu Yin. "I'm suddenly full of confidence. Thank you, Dao Master Lu. Investing in you is indeed the most worthwhile."
"I'm going back to the spacecraft to deal with some family matters."
"Second Nightking, see Madam Nalan out," Lu Yin ordered.
The Second Nightking walked out and respectfully led Madam Nalan away.
Lu Yin exhaled. Every time he spoke to her, it was tiring. She always seemed to have him in her grasp.
What a charming and intelligent demoness.
After smoothly getting Madam Nalan to join Yi Xing, the next step was to negotiate with Bi Lan and Qiong Xi'er. Lu Yin would not participate, and he did not know how to participate.
For the time being, the star essence from the Origin Space was not of much value to the Hexagon Society.
The Reincarnation Spacetime also used star essence, but it was different from the Origin Space's. It was unlikely that Lu Yin would be able to rely on Yi Xing to increase his trade with the Origin Space.
It had been more than four months since his identity as Xuan Qi had gone into seclusion. He had thought that it would take at least a few years for him to return from the Endless Battlefield, but it had been much faster than expected.
Lu Yin took a step forward and headed towards the Astral Tree. There was someone he needed to meet.
