"The third treasure from the Dayang Commerce Alliance, a mid-tier Grade Four spirit weapon, the Waving Frost Cold Cloud Sword."

As the silver-haired elder announced the third treasure from the Dayang Commerce Alliance, a soft sound of breathing was heard throughout the Business Alliance Hall.

"So it’s a mid-tier Grade Four spirit weapon, I thought it was another world-shaking treasure."

"Grade One to Three spirit weapons are considered lower-tier spirit weapons. Grade Four spirit weapons are already part of the middle-tier category, only forged by powerful figures from holy lands, so the quality is actually not low at all. Most Martial Artists in the Spiritual Rotation Realm use lower-tier spirit weapons."

"Hmm, but compared to the Yan Body Break Mountain Power and the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor, this mid-tier Grade Four spirit weapon is still a notch below."

"Being able to bring out the Yan Body Break Mountain Power and the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor, the Dayang Commerce Alliance has really gone all out this time. It’s rare for a single commerce alliance to present two such treasures at the Business Alliance Conference, showing the underlying strength of the Dayang Commerce Alliance."

"In recent years, the Dayang Commerce Alliance has been rising like the sun. It looks like the first position of the commerce alliance will be handed over this time."

"The Dayang Commerce Alliance used to be ranked last among the four major commerce alliances. How did it suddenly rise in recent years?"

"Brother Han has been adventuring outside these past few years, you probably don’t know. Most of the recent years have seen Yang Wanyi managing the Dayang Commerce Alliance. Its rise is closely related to this woman."

"This woman combines beauty and wisdom, and her cultivation talent is also extremely exceptional; she’s simply a remarkable woman. That Yang Dingtian is really lucky, having such an outstanding daughter; she’s a thousand times better than my rebellious son." An elder dressed in a brocade sighed slowly.

"Elder Li, that’s not right. I say the luckiest should be this woman’s future husband."

"Hehe, true. To be favored by such a beauty, at that time, I’m afraid countless men would be envious. Who knows who’s lucky enough to win the beauty over."

"As a prized daughter of the Dayang Mansion, her taste naturally won’t be poor; the person who wins her favor needs to be at least one of the top ten young talents..."

Upon hearing the Dayang Commerce Alliance’s third treasure was a mid-tier Grade Four spirit weapon, the crowd began to softly converse. This result did not disappoint many, and instead, they found it reasonable.

Such as the profound-level top-grade cultivation technique secret manual and the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor, treasures like these are not common goods easily obtained, even for the four major commerce alliances.

On the right side of the jade platform, inside the Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance’s booth, Han Xuan put down the teacup and said with a smile:

"A profound-level top-grade cultivation technique secret manual and a treasured Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor from the wild tribe; Yang Wanyi seems to be eyeing the position of the first commerce alliance."

An adjacent person frowned, saying: "Young Master, the treasures we’ve brought this time can’t be compared to the Dayang Commerce Alliance."

"No problem."

Han Xuan glanced at the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s booth, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, and said: "Father has no intention of competing for the first commerce alliance position; as long as it doesn’t fall into the hands of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, it’s fine. Moreover, the Dayang Commerce Alliance is on good terms with our Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance; Yang Dingtian is a righteous man. Them taking the first commerce alliance position is undoubtedly the best outcome for our Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance."

"Those from the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance attacked the young master this time, we cannot let this slide!" A square-faced man gritted his teeth in secret.

"Naturally. We won’t provoke others unless they provoke us first, but they dared bully our young master! They must think of our Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance as an easy target."

Another robust man with a sword at his side snorted coldly, suddenly remembering something, and said to Han Xuan:

"Young Master, I just heard that the disturbance at the Dayang Commerce Alliance’s residence last night came from the inner courtyard. It might be..."

"Oh? Seeing this, the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance has made a move on Yang Wanyi as well; no wonder she was so calm when she heard I’d been attacked by the Heavenly Position Business Line."

Han Xuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, laughing coldly: "It seems Zhouyan has grown tired of living, daring to lay a hand on Yang Wanyi. Back then, Yang Dingtian took ten years to eliminate every Demon Sect disciple who surrounded and killed his wife and him. He always viewed Yang Wanyi as his jewel, and if anything happened to her, the entire Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance would be obliterated within a day."

"Zhouyan must be confident he won’t leave behind any trace," the robust man pondered, considering the expert who attacked Han Xuan was able to change form; they’ve been investigating in secret for a while but without any lead on this person.

"To Yang Dingtian, even a possibility is enough; evidence is unnecessary. An enraged lion doesn’t care if you are a sheep or a wolf."

Han Xuan sneered. He was confident in his judgment of people; Yang Dingtian might seem amicable, but once his wrath is provoked, he is definitely a force to be reckoned with, as the saying goes, when a commoner gets angry, blood may spill within five steps."

Thinking of Yang Dingtian, Han Xuan’s eyes twinkled as he recalled another person: Luo Feng!

Although they only met once, he felt the youth similar in age to him shared traits with Yang Dingtian.

On the other side, Luo Feng looked at the opposing booth, brows furrowed.

Though he couldn’t hear Zhouyan and the others’ conversation, he clearly saw Zhouyan’s expression fluctuate, and considering Elder Qi’s hurried departure, it was evident he was preparing something.

"Wondering what scheme this person is up to..."

Watching Zhouyan in the opposite booth, Luo Feng had an ominous feeling.

"Young Master Luo Feng, what’s the matter?"

Seeing Luo Feng’s sudden grave expression, Elder Qian asked.

Luo Feng thought for a moment, then asked, "Elder Qian, if we lose the first round of the treasure conference, what are our chances of winning the following two rounds?"

Elder Qian was taken aback. In his view, with the Profound Level top-grade cultivation technique secret manual and the Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor, securing the first place in the first appraisal was already a done deal for Dayang Commerce Alliance. He was puzzled as to why Luo Feng suddenly asked this.

"For the second appraisal, I am absolutely certain of claiming first place. As for the third one, optimistically, I have a sixty percent chance," Yang Wanyi said.

Optimistically, only sixty percent chance...

Luo Feng frowned slightly and thought for a moment before looking up, "Let me participate in the third appraisal."

"You?"

Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, and her enticing red lips curved in a smile as she shook her head, "You are not a member of Dayang Commerce Alliance. Rest assured, I will do my utmost."

"Why not?"

Luo Feng smiled faintly, "Have you forgotten? I am your fiancé. It is only natural for me to fight for you."

Facing Luo Feng’s frank gaze, Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes hesitated slightly. If she recalled correctly, this was the first time that Luo Feng openly acknowledged their enigmatic relationship in front of others.

A charming blush appeared on her face, as Yang Wanyi gently bit her red lip with her pearly teeth and looked towards Elder Qian.

"Elder Qian, my husband is fighting for me, is that acceptable?"

Elder Qian smiled at the two and pondered, "It hasn’t happened before that someone outside of the young generation from commerce alliances participating, which has become an unwritten rule. However, since Young Master Luo Feng is the fiancé of Miss, him fighting on behalf of her is reasoned and justifiable, certainly possible."

"Then it’s decided."

Luo Feng nodded, thinking about how to ensure Zhouyan couldn’t oppose him participating.

Yang Wanyi’s figure leaned back on the leather couch, her enticing silhouette revealed in its curves. Glancing at Luo Feng with his furrowed brows deep in thought, her mind echoed those earlier words, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with mysterious brilliance, subtly pressing her alluring red lips.

Fiancé, huh...

After the three treasures of Dayang Commerce Alliance were revealed, it was the second-ranked Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance’s turn.

Following the gem-like treasures of Dayang Commerce Alliance, people anticipated high for Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance’s treasures, yet reality left them a bit disappointed.

Massive Cauldron Commerce Alliance’s three treasures were a fifth-grade advanced spirit pill, a Profound Level top-grade swordsmanship secret manual, and a tri-color pearl from the North Sea’s deep-sea, claimed by the silver-haired elder to be a sixth-grade introductory Spiritual Treasure that extends life and maintains youth.

These three treasures, in terms of quality, weren’t low, exceeding Black Wind Commerce Alliance’s three treasures, quite rare in their own right. However, compared to Dayang Commerce Alliance’s offerings, there was a significant gap.

"Seems Dayang Commerce Alliance’s first position in the first appraisal meeting is solidified."

"Not yet, there’s still the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, right? Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance has been first for several terms, their heritage likely surpasses Dayang Commerce Alliance."

"That’s questionable, since old Family Head passed away, Zhouyan took over Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance, which has been in decline day by day."

"But I heard a rumor, the Crown Prince has been close to Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance lately, if the Crown Prince intervenes..."

"Stop talking, now it’s time for Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s three treasures."

As the beautiful attendants brought the gold-inlaid wooden tray in front of the silver-haired elder, the atmosphere within the hall erupted.

Only Heavenly Position Business Line’s three treasures await unveiling. These three will decide who the first position in the first appraisal meeting will fall to, along with the first alliance’s title. It’s undeniable that the anticipation is significant.

"Hehe, now for the final three treasures of the appraisal meeting."

The silver-haired elder’s voice rang loud for the true climax as he lifted the red silk, captivating fiery gazes fixed on the wooden tray’s content.

In the wooden tray, there was a green sword, a dark dragon-shaped ring, and five lustrous spirit pills.

The silver-haired elder extended his hand to draw out the green sword’s blade three inches.

Whoosh!

Instantly, piercing sharpness blazed inside the hall, a rippling sound echoed as a clear sword mark appeared on the wooden tray on the jade stage, the platform’s space slightly distorted.

What a fine sword!

Inwardly, everyone had the same thought. Drawing just three inches, the sword’s impressive sword qi was unmatched by ordinary Spirit Weapons!

The silver-haired elder nodded approvingly and announced:

"Fourth-grade top-tier Spirit Weapon, Qing Xie Sword!"

(Going to the airport to pick someone up, the second update will be slightly delayed.)
