Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 57: New Moon City, Black Moon Chamber of Commerce
New Moon City, located in the east of the central part of the Blue Wind Empire, is ten times larger than Flowing Cloud City. There are many sects in and outside the city. The Blue Wind Imperial Family has also set up the Imperial Xuanfu here. Even the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Sect have branches here. Therefore, countless young Xuan practitioners come from all directions, hoping to have the honor of joining a powerful sect and pursuing the path of Xuan cultivation.
On this day, a young man in black walked slowly to the east of the gate of New Moon City. He looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was still immature, but his eyes were solid and deep, and his face was even more firm and indifferent that did not match his age. His pace was very slow, and every step he took on the hard ground would leave a shallow dent and a row of shocking sweat drops.
It took Yun Che more than a month to walk from Qinglin Town to New Moon City, a total of 700 kilometers. It was not that he didn't want to go faster, but he simply couldn't go faster.
On the day of departure from Qinglin Town, Jasmine asked him to find a heavy object weighing more than 400 kilograms... Yun Che was ruthless enough to himself. He spent all the remaining yellow Xuan coins on him and directly bought a piece of pig iron weighing 660 kilograms from the small blacksmith shop in Qinglin Town. Then, Yun Che prepared food and set out from Qinglin Town. He did not buy a Xuan horse, but walked forward... and carried this pig iron weighing 660 kilograms on his back.
If it was a Xuan practitioner in the True Xuan Realm, this weight would not be a big deal, but for a Xuan practitioner in the Entering Xuan Realm, this is definitely not a negligible weight.
On the first day of carrying the pig iron, Yun Che consumed a lot of Xuan power every step he took. At the same time, his shoulders were in unbearable pain, and his cervical vertebra seemed to be broken at any time. After walking 400 steps, his Xuan power was completely exhausted, and the whole person was pressed to the ground by the pig iron, unable to stand up for a long time. But after a short rest, he did not show any resistance to the pig iron, and continued to carry it, step by step.
Carrying this pig iron, Yun Che walked a full 700 kilometers. His food consisted of the same dry food and the low-level Huixuan Dan he had tempered himself, and he drank the waterfall water prepared in the Red Dragon Mountains.
The sweat drops he left along the way were enough to form a large stream.
Yun Che's terrifying perseverance once again surprised Jasmine. Because during this entire journey, Yun Che never put down the pig iron on his back. Even though he was exhausted and bleeding on his back, he never showed any rejection, nor did he make any painful sounds. Instead, he was extremely calm.
Seven hundred kilometers, from the initial difficulty in taking a step to the gradual adaptation later, the profound power in Yun Che's profound veins was also exhausted and restored thousands of times... exhausted and restored, becoming more and more heavy and rich. Even half a month ago, there were signs of another breakthrough, but Yun Che forcibly suppressed the profound power and did not let it break through. The previous growth of profound power was too fierce, and he had to make his profound power stable enough, and let his body be able to fully adapt to and control these profound powers.
On this day, the gate of New Moon City finally appeared in sight.
"It's finally here." Yun Che walked forward slowly, a smile on his face.
"Now you can win without any suspense when fighting with a mysterious beast of the same level. But low-level mysterious beasts have low intelligence after all, and their attack methods are single and scarce. If you want to become a truly strong person, you need to fight more people... Then, let's start from this New Moon City." Jasmine said with an air of old-fashionedness.
"Okay!" Yun Che nodded, his eyes were not afraid at all, but instead had a faint excitement and expectation.
"Now, take off the black iron on your body. Your body has completely adapted to the skyrocketing black power... No, I guess even if it skyrocketed a few more levels, your body would be able to withstand it."
The black iron was released by Yun Che and thrown to the ground, leaving a deep dent in the ground. At that moment, Yun Che felt that his body was so light that it was almost non-existent. He took a deep breath, stepped on his feet, and jumped up more than five meters. Then he landed steadily. With a wave of his right hand, a cluster of red flames burned on his right hand, and then quickly extinguished, then burned again, and extinguished again... He controlled it at will without any hindrance.
"I have good news for you. Your current body can barely withstand the first realm of the seven realms of the evil god! In other words, when you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, you can try to open the first realm barrier!"
"Can you open the first realm barrier now?" Yun Che said with a surprised look on his face.
"It's just barely. When it's absolutely necessary, you can try to open it. With your current profound strength and physique, it should not be life-threatening, but whether it will cause a certain degree of permanent damage, this princess cannot be sure. Before entering the seventh level of the profound realm, you'd better not use it carelessly." Jasmine said with a warning.
Yun Che originally wanted to try the feeling of opening the first level, and at the same time, he wanted to see how powerful the profound skills that accompanied the opening would be. However, after listening to Jasmine's words, he had to give up this idea. If his body could not bear it and suffered irreparable damage, it would be a big loss.
Approaching Xinyue City, the majestic and heavy city wall appeared in front of Yun Che with an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Under the towering city gate, people were constantly coming and going, showing the excitement that Floating Cloud City had never seen before.
Entering Xinyue City, walking on the streets, looking around, all kinds of buildings and shops are endless, crowded with people, waves of sound, extremely lively and prosperous. Moreover, regardless of gender, age, or young, almost everyone has a strong or weak profound energy aura.
"It is a big city after all. In comparison, Floating Cloud City is just like a larger town." Yun Che sighed.
"Hello, uncle. Where is the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce?" Yun Che stopped a middle-aged man who looked kind and asked him politely.
"Black Moon Chamber of Commerce?" The man looked Yun Che up and down. His ordinary dress and too young age made him suspicious, but he still pointed: "Go west from here, cross about seven streets, turn right and keep going. However, young man, a place like the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, whether buying or selling, must have considerable capital."
Yun Che nodded, thanked him, and walked in the direction he pointed. After walking through seven extremely long streets, turning right and walking for half an hour, the flow of people suddenly decreased, and even the atmosphere became very different.
A huge plaque with a dark crescent moon inlaid appeared in Yun Che's sight. The four words "Black Moon Chamber of Commerce" were horizontal under the black moon. Although it was only four words, it carried an inexplicable deterrent power. Unlike the bustling and lively streets of other places, the number of people passing by here is not only small, but most of them are in a hurry and keep their mouths shut. Not to mention making noise, there is no one even talking loudly, as if they are afraid of disturbing something.
"This Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is indeed the same as what Grandpa said." Yun Che whispered to himself.
The Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, with its headquarters in the Divine Phoenix Empire, the largest of the seven countries in the Profound Sky Continent, has branches in various countries and major cities. It is the world-renowned largest chain chamber of commerce in the Profound Sky Continent. It has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Not only has it not declined, but it has become increasingly powerful and gradually became a huge force that can stir up the world at will.
Of course, the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is not just a chamber of commerce. It can be imagined that the power behind it can make the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce dominate the entire Profound Sky Continent. When Xiao Lie talked to him about the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, he once mentioned very seriously that even the four major sects of the Blue Wind Empire never dared to make trouble in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce.
The system of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is extremely strict and harsh. It can achieve almost absolute fairness and justice in transactions and will never be biased towards any party. However, the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce has always only handled high-end goods and never looked down on low-end goods. Therefore, the things sold by the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce are definitely not something that ordinary families can afford. For those powerful sects, many of their resources also come from the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce. The Black Moon Chamber of Commerce's monthly auctions are always full.
After confirming the location of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, Yun Che came to an empty corner, then took out a small bottle of pre-refined medicine powder from the Sky Poison Pearl and quickly applied it on his face.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked curiously.
Yun Che did not answer. When he raised his face, the original childish face had disappeared, replaced by a resolute and cold face of a middle-aged man, and even his eyes were full of vicissitudes. He applied a small amount of powder on his hands, making them look a little dry. Then he took out a slightly worn cloak, changed his black clothes, took out a hat and put it on, covering half of his face.
"You can actually change your appearance?" Jasmine shouted in surprise.
"For a genius doctor, changing your appearance is nothing." Yun Che smiled complacently, and then his face became hard and cold, and even his voice became hoarse: "No matter where the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce appears, it will be a giant in the chamber of commerce, and no one can match it. As long as the grade is high enough, the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce will accept everything and sell everything... Maybe there will be beautiful girls' clothes, let's go in and take a look."
When he said the words "beautiful girls' clothes", Yun Che clearly heard Jasmine make a slight "嘤" sound.
For civilians, they all have a deep respect for the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, so when they pass by here, they will pass by in a hurry, and dare not do anything that may offend the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce. Yun Che's strange outfit attracted the attention of many people, but when they saw him walk into the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce with steady steps, their eyes looking at Yun Che were also filled with a little awe... Those who have the capital to trade in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce are undoubtedly big shots.
The interior of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is very large, and there is a sense of oppression in the silence. When ordinary people walk in, they will be suppressed by the atmosphere here and can't breathe. The huge cargo shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods, including medicinal materials, elixirs, weapons, armor, gems, low-level profound beasts' profound elixirs, and even low-level profound skills... Everything is available, but there is no doubt that everything sold here is not expensive. Some may be something that an ordinary family cannot afford in their entire lives.
