Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 47
Chapter 0047 Lei Zhen’s Promotion!
Somewhere outside the city, several pitch-black figures appeared in the snow. They were rushing towards the distant forest. They stepped past without leaving any traces on the ground.
Snowstep Wuhen, these people are actually invincible Human Martial Realm experts.
“Lord!”
The black-clothed man appeared in the depths of the forest and bowed respectfully to an old man.
The old man was surprisingly the person who had deposited the Profound Spirit Cauldron back then.
“What’s the result of your follow-up over the past few months?” The old man said solemnly, looking at the heavy snow between heaven and earth, he was slightly distracted.
“Your Highness! The identity of Pill Master Qin Fei has been announced. Now, the Qin Family has become the strongest clan in Northern Profound City!” Said a black-clothed man.
“Oh?”
The old man frowned, revealing an unhappy expression. He casually waved his hand and a towering ancient tree a hundred meters away quietly vanished.
The black-clothed man’s eyes revealed a look of horror, not daring to make a sound.
“His life is too comfortable! If this continues, how will he have time to find the Profound Spirit Cauldron? You should know what to do, right?” The old man said coldly.
“This subordinate understands! Don’t worry, Lord!” The black-clothed man’s eyes were filled with killing intent, making this world even colder than before.
The black-clothed man quietly dispersed. The old man stood on the snowy ground, his face filled with anger. A monstrous aura erupted from his entire body, spreading out in all directions. Within a radius of a thousand meters around him, all the snow melted one after another, igniting raging flames out of thin air!
The old man snorted coldly, and a fierce light burst out in his eyes, “Nobody can stop this king from doing what he wants to do …”
In the early winter, everyone put on thick clothes to resist the wind and cold.
Qin Fei appeared in the Yongsheng Auction House and sat in the VIP room. He looked at the enthusiastic bidding of the people on the stage, bidding for his Initial Martial Pills with a satisfied smile on his face.
During this period of time, the Qin Clan had made a lot of money. Not only did business in various places flourish, the medicinal pills they refined had also become fragrant steamed buns that wealthy people in the city were competing to buy. Gold coins flowed into the Qin Clan’s pockets like flowing water every day. It was not too much for the Qin Clan to say that they were the richest person in Beixuan City!
In the end, this was all because of the benefits that pill refiners had brought! If it weren’t for Qin Fei being an alchemist, the various powers in the city wouldn’t have curried favor with him. Even the city lord was courteous to him. The alchemist was the most special existence in the Xuanling Empire and was respected by the martial cultivators.
After this auction, he came to the back. Lei Zhen was already waiting for him with a smile on his face. He gave him the gold coins from the auction.
Qin Fei and Lei Zhen were very polite. Lei Zhen ordered people to serve him fragrant tea, then thanked Qin Fei gratefully and excitedly told him a piece of good news.
“Brother Qin! I must thank you properly today! Without you, there would be no such thing as my Lei Zhen today!” Lei Zhen said happily, the smile on his face almost turning into a chrysanthemum.
Qin Fei looked at him doubtfully and said, “Lei Xingzhu, what are you saying?”
Lei Zhen smiled and said, “I’ve already received a notification from the higher-ups that I’m about to be promoted to preside over the auction house in the county! It’s all because of you that I’ve been promoted so quickly!”
He was truly filled with gratitude towards Qin Fei. According to the rules of the Inferno Auction House, the internal employees who wanted to be promoted were all based on contribution points. In fact, contribution points were based on how much gold a person earned for the Inferno Auction House!
Lei Zhen originally ran an auction house in Beixuan City, Actually, they didn’t earn much, He stayed here for eight years, However, he had never earned the gold coins that would allow him to advance, The main reason was that there weren’t any alchemists in Beixuan City before. Just auctioning off some low-priced items was obviously very difficult to promote. In other cities with alchemists, the people who came with him had already risen. Every year, he would always be mocked by others at the annual auction house meetings.
Ever since Qin Fei became an alchemist and brought the pills to his place for auction, he was finally proud. In just two short months, combined with his previous contribution points, he had finally obtained a high promotion and was about to be transferred to the County City Branch!
“Then congratulations, Thunder Traveller!” Qin Fei smiled and congratulated.
To be honest, Qin Fei was really reluctant to let him go. Every time Lei Zhen auctioned medicinal pills, he would only get a small amount of reward, which would greatly help the Qin Clan’s business. Relying on the reputation of Yongsheng Trading Firm, the Qin Clan’s business in other cities had been taken care of. His help to the Qin Clan was enormous.
‘”Brother Qin, please rest assured. Although I don’t work in Beixuan City anymore, it will be easier for me to help you in the county! If the Qin Clan intends to expand their business to the county, Lei Zhen is willing to support you with all his might!” Lei Zhen said happily.
Go to the prefecture city to develop the Qin Family’s business?
Qin Fei’s eyes lit up and his heart skipped a beat.
The Profound Spirit Empire was vast, and its territory occupied almost two thirds of the Profound Spirit Continent!
For the sake of management, the empire had divided the capital into thirty-six prefectures and eighteen prefectures!
Yi Du was referring to the core power center of the empire, the imperial capital!
The nine continents below controlled the eighteen prefectures, and the eighteen prefectures also managed the thirty-six prefectures below!
As for a small city like Beixuan City, there were countless of them.
Beixuan City was located to the north, under the control of Xuan City, one of the 36 prefectures.
It could be said that it had been the dream of the Qin Clan for generations to develop their business in the Prefecture City. However, with the Qin Clan’s human and financial resources, it was impossible for them to achieve this goal. It was impossible for them to develop in Xuan City without strong financial resources, connections, and strength.
Although Qin Fei was tempted and Lei Zhen promised to help him, he knew very well that even if he went, even with Lei Zhen’s help, the Qin Clan would not be able to integrate into the environment of the Prefecture City so easily.
This is a world where the strong are respected. The only thing that has the greatest sense of security is that you possess powerful abilities, financial resources and connections. In fact, you are only able to function on the basis of your powerful strength.
Although Qin Fei really wanted to make his family’s business a county city, or even the thirty-six prefectures of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Prefectures, the reality was right in front of him. With his current strength, he could still run smoothly in the Northern Profound City and the nearby cities. Once he reached a place like the county city where there were as many experts as dogs, the Qin Family could be easily annihilated tens of thousands of times by others.
Therefore, this matter could not be rushed!
Qin Fei recovered his calm after a short while and thanked Lei Zhen, “Thank you for your kindness. The Qin Clan doesn’t want to go to the Prefecture City to develop for the time being. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask Lei Zhen for help!”
Lei Zhen nodded. He knew the crux of the matter. By saying this, he was sending a signal to Qin Fei to show his goodwill.
He had stayed in North Mysterious City for eight years and could be said to have witnessed Qin Fei’s rise. He was a businessman, and his goal in pursuit of anything was to maximize benefits. For a genius like Qin Fei, he knew that the sooner he established a deep relationship, the better.
