Chapter 428: Bihai Chamber of Commerce "Thank you, fellow Taoist, first.""Why bother with the formalities? I'll take you to see the master another day. Today we'll go and settle the matter of the Bihai Chamber of Commerce!" When it comes to handling serious matters, Mao Ya is also very adept at it, showing the image of a Confucian gentleman. However, he did not notice that when Yi Jue heard about meeting his master, the light in his eyes was dim. The island master Zhan Tai is surrounded by many monks, has strict defenses, and has many means to protect his life, but he is also Yi Jue's target. "If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy and being noticed by Xinggong in advance, humph!" The three of them were formed together. With their foundation-building cultivation, they naturally would not be short of flying magic tools. And Mao Ya, as the host, naturally took out his flying magic tool, which was a pitch-black flying boat. "Please come in, fellow Taoists." Yi Jue flew up directly. After Xue Mushan went up, he stared at the sail on the bow. There was a big word "Ku" engraved on it, and there was an inexplicable Taoist rhyme permeating it. On this flying boat, the whole person seems to be more peaceful and clear-headed. "Fellow Daoist Mao, this is the famous Ku Zhou of the Confucian school?" Mao Ya smiled and said,
"Mu Shan is very knowledgeable. As the saying goes, the path to a mountain of knowledge is made through hard work, and the boat to a boundless sea of learning is made through hard work." "This bitter boat is also considered a symbolic magic weapon for my generation of Confucian and Taoist monks. It has an extremely fast speed and can travel freely in the air, water, or fire under normal circumstances." Yi Jue did not comment on this. Although the Confucianism and Taoism were not weak, the fact that Yi Jue could plant the devil attraction in him so easily and the devil attraction grew so fast showed that he knew that the Confucianism and Taoism's skills were very easy to cause obsession. This kind of martial art, although seemingly righteous on the surface, actually has a demonic nature at its root. This is also the reason why Yi Jue plans to meet the island owner Zhan Tai. If his guess is correct, he may gain a lot. "Fellow Daoist Yang, rather than finding you a job, I am helping us solve a problem. Thank you in advance." Yi Jue even said he dared not, "Brother Mao, what's the hidden reason behind this?" Xue Mushan took over the conversation instead. "I know this matter better. Fellow Daoist Mao wants to avoid suspicion, but I have no scruples." "That Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce is the property of the former island owner's direct disciple. Although this disciple has also successfully built his foundation, he is unlearned and has no skills. He only knows how to spend money." "There is nothing to hide. This so-called direct disciple is actually the illegitimate son of the former island master. It's just that the former island master didn't have a Taoist partner, and didn't plan to have one, so he got one more disciple." "Therefore, Yu Xiu of the Bi Hai Chamber of Commerce, also known as the dude, is notorious among the upper echelons of the Bi Hai Chamber of Commerce." "He took advantage of the island owner's fame, sought convenience within a certain range, and maliciously annexed other islands. In a short period of time, he accumulated a huge fortune." "Some people also say that this was the island owner's instruction in order to quickly accumulate a family business. To be honest, if we really talk about the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce, it took hundreds of years to accumulate wealth in just a few decades." "That's why there are rumors like this. Whether it's actually a rumor or not is up to everyone to decide. Anyway, the former island owner must have taken a lot of things from the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce." Yi Jue nodded, and then asked, "Since this Bihai Chamber of Commerce has an owner, why would they release a position like this?" "Fellow Daoist, don't you know that it is a crime to possess a treasure? How can a mere foundation-building person with no backing be qualified to protect such a huge family business?" Mao Ya explained.
"Moreover, taking back public ownership is also the general trend. After all, many of the original people were forced to join the Bihai Chamber of Commerce because they had no other options. They were swallowed up by the Chamber." "No one has taken over this matter before because the affairs of the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce are quite complicated, which is not conducive to cultivation. In addition, the extravagant enjoyment inside can easily make cultivators unable to resist the temptation and choose the world of mortals." The two of them walked and talked until they arrived in front of a shop. The shop was a single-family building with about four or five floors. There were four big characters written on the plaque on the first floor. The characters were "Bi Hai Chamber of Commerce" in a strange shape, which was the official font of the Chaos Star Sea. There is also a flag next to it. On the flag are several ripples with blue as the background. Just a few strokes have created the artistic conception of the sea. Obviously the designer's painting skills are extraordinary. Seeing this, Yi Jue was immediately satisfied with this place. Although it did not completely belong to him and he was just in charge of it, he was very familiar with the matters of borrowing chickens to lay eggs and escaping from the shell. "Tell all the shopkeepers and managers here to come out and find a quiet room. I will introduce you to your new manager." Mao Ya went straight in and after entering, he whispered to a shopkeeper who was quite experienced. The layout of this place is not much different from that of the Zhantai Chamber of Commerce where Mao Ya was previously. After entering the door, there is a polygonal hall with counters distributed in rows. There are quite a few people in the hall, and this is only the first floor. As everyone knows, the first floor sells some common items that cultivators consume in large quantities in daily life. For example, the iron stone that Yang Kai bought every time before is of the second level in terms of value, but Yang Kai comes to buy this kind of material every month, so he simply puts it directly on the first floor. Mainly for the convenience of customers. As soon as the man saw the faces of Mao Ya and the other two, he knew that they were real Buddhas. The old shopkeepers with many years of experience knew Mao Ya's appearance. As they were all in the same business, they naturally had some impression of him, but Mao Ya just didn't recognize him. "I will go and call the chief shopkeeper right now." As he spoke, he went upstairs from a corner. After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly came over. He had a warm smile on his big round face, and you could feel happy just by looking at him. "I am Yu Xiu, and I am honored to meet you, Fellow Daoist Mao, Fellow Daoist Xue, and this fellow Daoist." It was obvious that Yu Xiu knew Mao Ya and Xue Mushan, but he just didn't recognize Yi Jue. Mao Ya greeted him, but Xue Mushan pretended not to see it, avoided the greeting and did not return it. Yu Xiu was still smiling, but with a little more embarrassment. Yi Jue did respond, but it was just a courtesy. However, Xue Mushan was obviously biased. In fact, according to Yi Jue's perception, this person should not be as bad as the rumors said. Yi Jue naturally knew that the so-called rumors were just tools in the hands of those with ulterior motives. "Since you are here, it will be easy. From now on, the Bihai Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to this fellow Daoist Yang Kai. Please cooperate with us." Mao Ya was prepared for Yu Xiu to refuse and even negotiate terms, but Yu Xiu just smiled. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and it's finally here." (End of this chapter)
