295 Chapter 294 traveling South

The two most recent breaking news in the Feiyun state were, of course, Lu chaoxi and yunxuan. They had entered the Golden core stage within a year’s time.

Under the cover of these two pieces of news, there were many other things that would normally attract attention. However, this time, it was difficult to attract the attention of others.

Especially when this matter was related to the Lu family.

!!
Lu mingling was about to break through to the initial enlightenment stage.

As a cultivator with double spiritual roots after Lu Qing’s upgrade, he was able to reach a breakthrough to the initial enlightenment stage at the age of 84. In fact, he could be considered to have cultivated rather quickly. In the Lu clan, Lu xueting had built her Foundation earlier than him, but she was only at the eighth-tier foundation building realm.

However, Lu mingling was not as ferocious as Wenen and Weiwen, who did not need anything to break through the Great Barrier of the initial enlightenment stage. Even though Lu Qing could exchange for the power of initial enlightenment for him, allowing him to sense the state and power of the initial enlightenment stage in advance, which would be of positive help to his breakthrough, he still needed precious natural treasures in his current state to have a better chance of breaking through.

Otherwise, if he failed once, even though he would not die from breaking through to initial enlightenment, it would have a very bad impact on his body and his future cultivation path.

The heavenly treasure required for a lightning spiritual root to advance to the initial enlightenment stage was called the ‘heavenly lightning divine wood’.

It was very difficult to buy such a thing in the market. Back when Lu chaoxi had attempted to break through to the initial enlightenment stage, the Lu family had tried to spend a long time to purchase such a treasure. However, they had failed in the end.

Even in the Qingfeng sect’s vault, there were no treasures of this level that could be used.

However, as the Lu family’s interaction with the outside world increased, especially with the more extensive cultivation world in the South, there were more channels to find more natural treasures in the market.

In Jin province, there was a trading company called Sheng Fu enterprise, which owned three pieces of divine lightning wood.

To be able to get so many good goods, there was no need to think about it. This Sheng Fu restaurant must have a very big background. That was indeed the case. Yunxiao sect was standing behind this Prosperous Fortune Restaurant. The situation of the prosperous Fortune trading company in Yunxiao sect could be compared to the chengfeiyun trading company and Husheng trading company in the Qingfeng sect.

From the looks of it, it was only natural for them to be able to obtain some good things that others could not.

In the beginning, when the Lu family had come into contact with the prosperous trading firm, they had gone there with the mentality of giving it a try. It was very difficult to buy a treasure of this level with normal spirit stones. Generally, there were some conditions attached, or a substantial premium, to have the possibility of buying it.

However, things went much smoother than expected.

They said that if the Lu family gave them two pieces of the divine Tree of destiny and 50000 spiritual stones, they could exchange for three pieces of the divine wood of Heavenly Thunder.

The divine Tree of destiny and the divine Tree of Heavenly Thunder were of the same level of protection. To a certain extent, these two could even be considered to have the same origin. However, the attributes that they displayed in the end were still completely different, which led to the completely different effects between the two.

The divine Thunder wood was rarer than the divine life wood.

Logically speaking, the rarer something was, the higher its price would be in the market. However, it was the complete opposite for these two things.

The divine Tree of destiny was more expensive, although not by much.

The reason for this was that although the divine Tree of destiny was more common, the cultivation world also had a greater need for the divine Tree of destiny.

This was easy to understand. The wood spiritual root was one of the more common spiritual roots among the five elements. The number of cultivators with wood spiritual roots was much more than that of cultivators with lightning spiritual roots. Although there were a lot of cultivators with lightning spiritual roots in the Lu family, in fact, in the cultivation world, this was an out-and-out and very powerful mutated spiritual root.

There were very few cultivators with lightning spiritual roots, and even fewer had the ability to cultivate to the foundation establishment level and prepare to break through to the initial enlightenment stage. Naturally, although the divine wood of Heavenly Thunder was rare, the demand was small, so it was definitely not as popular as the divine wood of destiny.

From The Business Exchange they discussed this time, he could also see some clues.

The Lu family paid two pieces of divine wood of destiny and 40000 spiritual stones in exchange for three pieces of divine wood of Heavenly Thunder. This was a small bargain.

However, the Lu family didn’t plan to trade the two pieces of the divine Tree of destiny.

Lu xueting was a cultivator with the wood spiritual root in the family. She was now at the eighth-tier foundation building realm. Although her cultivation talent was relatively average, she was the clan’s most outstanding Beast Tamer. Furthermore, the clan’s beast taming variety was increasing, and her position in the clan’s various industries was also becoming more and more important.

The ten thousand spirit stones she had owed her clan when she had reached Foundation establishment had long since been paid off, and she was now quite wealthy. This was the result of her years of hard work and effort.

When she was about to make a breakthrough, the Lu family would support her no matter what.

This Divine Tree of destiny was what her family had prepared for her.

Thus, under the circumstances that they could only take out one divine Tree of destiny, the Lu family and the prosperous trading firm discussed many times and finally decided that the Lu family would take out 110000 spirit stones and one divine Tree of destiny in exchange for two divine trees of Heavenly Thunder.

To be honest, the Lu family could not afford so many spiritual stones at once.

Although the Lu clan was much wealthier than before, they had spent over 100000 Yuan on the materials for chaoxi’s breakthrough to the Aurous core stage. Now, they were also preparing various materials for Lu Qing’s breakthrough to the nascent Soul Stage. No matter how rich they were, they could not afford such expenses. It was unrealistic for the Lu family to take out 110000 spiritual stones now.

However, there were other ways. For example, they could buy it in the name of the sect.

It was also possible to get the sect to pay sixty thousand spirit stones to buy a single piece of sky Thunder divine wood as a binding transaction. To be able to purchase such a treasure with just spirit stones was not a loss for the sect at all.

Prosperous Fortune Restaurant, or rather, the Yunxiao sect behind them, had an additional requirement for this deal. After the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect bought the three pieces of divine lightning wood, they were not allowed to sell them or put them on the market. They were only allowed to use them.

This was the most important premise of the deal.

It was unknown why there was such a rule, and the prosperous Fortune Restaurant did not explain much, only saying that this was the request of the sect.

The Lu family was not too curious about this matter.

Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and it’s best not to challenge Yunxiao sect to see if they can detect this.

Moreover, they had originally gone to buy these three pieces of Heavenly Thunder divine wood, not intending to sell them again. It was originally for his own use, so if he agreed to this condition, he would agree.

The reason why the Lu family bought the divine wood of Heavenly Thunder was for Ming Ling. The extra one would be kept in the family’s Treasury. Anyway, there were many talented cultivators with lightning spiritual roots in the family, especially two with single lightning spiritual roots in their twenties. There was no need to worry about not being able to use them.

And what did the sect buy a piece of Heavenly Thunder divine wood for? of course, it was for their own use. It was for the sect to cultivate high-level cultivators!

As for who this lucky Thunder-attribute cultivator would be, it would definitely be given to the most outstanding Thunder spiritual root cultivator in the new generation of the sect. At that time, it would be a fair competition based on everyone’s ability.

It was reasonable and legal.

Of course, it was unrealistic to spend so many spiritual stones at once. Most of the time, he would have to take all kinds of other materials he had accumulated and sell them before he could get that much cash.

This time, Lu mingling was escorting all kinds of goods worth more than 100000 spirit stones, including many magic weapons produced by the Lu family, some items produced by the sect, and even some local specialties from the northern Xue state. They were to be sold and exchanged in the South.

The order for this batch of goods had already been confirmed, so there was no need to worry about buyers.

On this matter, Lu mingling deeply felt that as his family grew stronger and stronger, it became easier for him to do business and open up trade routes as the leader of the Lu family’s business.

He still remembered how difficult it was to do business when he had just taken over the Lu family’s business. The trade route to the North had been opened up by him, and he had encountered many problems along the way. For example, it was not easy to find orders, it was not easy to find suppliers, and he also had to face competition from the sect trading companies. He also had to build a good relationship with the hai family, who was his partner.

At that time, although the family had already agreed on a general cooperation with all parties, when it came to the execution level, they still needed people like them to carry out these things step by step. Naturally, they would encounter difficulties one after another that they had to overcome on their own.

Later on, as the clan grew stronger and stronger, these difficulties disappeared on their own.

After the battle of the northern wilderness, especially after Li Yanling’s grandmother had become the Qingfeng sect’s sect leader, Lu Jia had begun to extend the reach of her family’s business to the South. Lu mingling ran into all sorts of difficulties again. The Lu family’s influence did not reach the South at all. All sorts of issues with their unsuccessful cooperation made him extremely worried.

However, as Lu Qing’s reputation continued to spread over the years, Lu chaoxi attained the gold core realm. The Lu clan had three gold core realm cultivators and became a new noble in the entire Yan Kingdom that was not inferior to the four great clans in Yan city. Other than his fame, Lu mingling, who was always on the move, once felt some of the changes that he had experienced in the Feiyun state.

Most of the time, he didn’t need to make connections, deliberately make friends, and open up business channels. These things would often come looking for him.

It was so convenient.

However, the goods being escorted by the caravans were too precious. Therefore, not only did Lu mingling, the person-in-charge of the Lu clan trading company, come personally, but a senior from the family also acted as his bodyguard.

The person who had come was Lu Chaohe.

Other than Chao He, there was also an initial enlightenment cultivator from the sect.

Two Qiming cultivators, five to six Foundation establishment cultivators, and nearly a hundred Qi refining cultivators who could form an array. This kind of team composition was quite impressive. Ordinary people could not afford to offend them.

Lu mingling was very relieved.

However, just as he felt that this trip to the South was extremely safe, a disaster came on the way back.
