“Brother Jiao, do you know what exactly is the Wanfa Comrce? Such a grand na – ‘Wanfa’. Does this rchant organization really possess thousands of techniques?” Li Fan imdiately asked.
“To speak of Wanfa Comrce, its origin traces back to the period after the Great Massacre ended and before the new order was established.” Jiao Xiuyuan explained to Li Fan.
“This period is commonly referred to as the ‘Wasted Land Era’.”
“Back then, the number of cultivators was at its lowest. Those who survived the tribulation were real lone rangers. They trusted no one other than themselves.”
“Cultivators took refuge and lived in the wilderness, exploring ruins for adventures and seeking opportunities.”
“Given the limited energy of an individual, there would be tis when they found more techniques than they could cultivate. They naturally thought of exchanging the techniques for other useful items with other cultivators.”
“However, in that era, trust among cultivators was almost nonexistent. To successfully conduct trades, a trusted middleman that everyone believed in was indispensable.”
“Wanfa Comrce was one such middleman, and it is the only organization that still exists after the establishnt of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization.”
“In the Wasted Land Era, the number of cultivators was scarce, but there was no shortage of techniques. A cultivator often carried several techniques either robbed or obtained by chance.”
“During that ti, Wanfa Comrce had amassed an unimaginable number of techniques. That’s why they are still standing after thousands of years.”
Jiao Xiuyuan slowly unraveled the origin and developnt of Wanfa Comrce.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that a mighty cultivator in the Immortal Realm is backing Wanfa Comrce? An ordinary Unity-Path cultivator might not be able to protect so many techniques.”
Jiao Xiuyuan nodded, “This is what most cultivators think. Nowadays, both the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders Organization tacitly accept the existence of Wanfa Comrce. Whoever can make these two behemoths yield a bit is naturally not weak. However, the true identity of such a powerful figure is far beyond our reach.”
Li Fan gave a flattering comnt without changing his expression,
“Considering that your Thousand Miles Hall business spans across the
Immortal Cultivation World, you can hardly be considered insignificant.”
Then he asked with so confusion, “According to your statent, the business of Wanfa Comrce has been recognized by the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals. But why haven’t I ever seen them in the capital of the Alliance? Even the Wanhua Comrcial Association that involves mortal business, I have only seen their representatives, never their shops.”
“Hehe, both the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders
Organization have their own independent and well-developed trading systems.
So how could they allow Wanfa Comrce to co in and snatch their business? Currently, although Wanfa Comrce has received recognition from both giants, its scale is not as big as before, and it can only survive in the gap.” Jiao Xiuyuan laughed.
“Wanfa Comrce is now only active at the borderlines between the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders Organization. These places are mixed, the control of both sides is relatively weak, and there are a large number of rogue cultivators. It is more reassuring to do business with neutral organizations like Wanfa Comrce.”
“Moreover, both territories of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the
Five Elders Organization have a variety of special products. Although the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders Organization officially trade during non-warti years, those important strategic materials are generally not on the exchange list.”
“But these materials indeed have a large demand. Therefore, the thod of conducting ‘transit’ trade through Wanfa Comrce has been ford.”
“Of course, the price naturally has to be much higher. Sotis it doubles, which is normal.”
“For example, there is an elixir in the Five Elders Organization called
Enlightennt Pill. It’s rumored to be an obscure sect secret of the ancient
Great Taoist Sect. After taking it, it can enhance the affinity of the Law of Taoist to oneself, thus greatly reducing the difficulty of enlightennt and improving the speed of cultivation.”
Li Fan was stumped, “Isn’t that similar to the Enlightennt effect of the
Tianxuan Mirror?”
“Yes. What’s more marvelous is that the effect of the Enlightennt Pill can be perfectly stacked with Enlightennt. Enlightennt improves one’s comprehension skills, while the Enlightennt Pill decreases the difficulty of enlightennt. The combination of both, internally and externally, makes the cultivation speed incredibly fast.” Jiao Xiuyuan praised.
“The Alliance has been coveting this Enlightennt Pill for a long ti. But despite all thods tried, they couldn’t crack it. Hence, each year, they can only import a limited batch through Wanfa Comrce.”
“In the Five Elders Organization, it is said that each Enlightennt Pill only costs fifty Lower Grade Spiritual Stones, which is equivalent to our fifty contribution points. It’s practically a giveaway. However, due to the scarcity, the price skyrocketed ten tis in Wanfa Comrce, generally around five hundred contribution points each.”
“Even so, there are countless cultivators willing to buy it. There’s no way, who can resist a good thing!” Jiao Xiuyuan sighed.
Li Fan’s clone pondered for a mont, then asked tentatively, “I’ve heard a
Golden Core Cultivator ntion the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm and Advanced World. Apparently, one can conduct anonymous trades in the Advanced World. Can’t the cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand
Immortals and the Five Elders Organization do this?”
Jiao Xiuyuan looked a bit surprised, “You even know the existence of the
Advanced World?”
After thinking about it, he still explained quietly, “In the past, it was completely feasible.”
“However, later on, such convenient and secretive trading thods bred many speculative and reselling activities, which caused the prices in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders Organization to spiral out of control. Furthermore, spies took advantage of the situation to steal a large amount of confidential information.”
“After that, two mighty cultivators from both sides took action simultaneously and carved out two ‘Great Gorges’.”
“From then on, the cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders Organization could no longer communicate with each other through the Advanced World.”
“Whenever a cultivator from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals tries to enter the Advanced World located in the territory of the Five Elders
Organization, their consciousness encounters resistance from the two ‘Great
Gorges’. The sa applies to the cultivators from the Five Elders Organization.” Li Fan slowly nodded.
“I understand. So, if I want to buy techniques from Wanfa Comrce, I have to make a trip personally?”
“Correct. The nearest stronghold of Wanfa Comrce is in Jiushan Province, near Yongliang State.” Jiao Xiuyuan also advised, “Jiushan Province is not entirely peaceful. If you really want to go, you can arrange to go with other cultivators from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.”
“So that you can look after each other on the road.”
“Thank you for the advice, brother. The journey is long and the risk is high. I’ll think it over!” Li Fan responded.
anwhile, Li Fan’s main body started looking up information about a trip from Misthaven Ocean to Jiushan Province in the Tianxuan Mirror. As expected, there were many cultivators recruiting teammates..
