1745 Thousand Treasures Pavilion
The Thousand Treasures Pavilion had a vast business scope, and even had business dealings with the Imperial Court. Among the many merchant associations, it was the largest one. Its network was densely intertwined, and it was unknown how many experts it had recruited.
Chu Yunfan thought for a moment and decided to meet the Thousand Treasures Pavilion messenger. “Invite him in.”
Soon, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe strode in and came to Chu Yunfan.
‘An Interpreter.’ Chu Yunfan’s eyes narrowed. Although the middle-aged man hid himself well, he couldn’t hide from Chu Yunfan’s perception. He was seen through instantly.
This random envoy was an Interpreter. The strength of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion could be seen from this. It was truly terrifying.
“I am Wan Sanqian, the Black Iron Emissary of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Greetings, Colonel Chu,” the middle-aged man said as he bowed.
‘So it’s the Black Iron Emissary,’ Chu Yunfan thought. It was recorded in “The World” that within the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, other than the large number of fringe and bottom-level members, the ones who really had a certain status were the envoys of different levels. They were divided into different levels such as black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.
Although the Black Iron Emissary was considered the lowest level of existence in the Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s management, they were considered people with proper rank and were in charge of certain branches.
“Why have you come looking for me, Mr. Wan?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“Since you’ve asked, I won’t hide anything and get straight to the point. We hope to reach a cooperative relationship with you, Colonel Chu,” Wan Sanqian revealed, his eyes flashing with surprise because Chu Yunfan had appeared very late compared to others.
The Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s tentacles were spread all over Grand Xia, and even in the wilderness, there were people from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Usually, the disciples with promising prospects in the various sects would enter the Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s line of sight long ago, and they would pull strings early on. But for someone like Chu Yunfan, who had already become an elite disciple and a garrison leader, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion actually did not have any communication channels. This was extremely rare.
However, when they thought about Chu Yunfan’s background, they understood. After all, he wasn’t a native of Grand Xia, but a genius from the Violet Thunder Prefecture. However, what really shocked Wan Sanqian was that, according to the information, Chu Yunfan quickly climbed up after leaving the Violet Thunder Prefecture. He rose to fame and entered the Flying Celestials, becoming one of the top ten seed disciples and won the inner disciple competition within half a year.
This series of achievements were shocking, and Chu Yunfan’s actions after becoming the guardian of Baotai made Wan Sanqian feel even more surprised.
The five major forces that had occupied Baotai for many years had been uprooted by Chu Yunfan, along with the other forces that were dependent on the five major forces in the city. From all the information, Chu Yunfan was definitely not an ordinary person. He could be described as a statecraft. In the past few days, he had been in charge of Baotai. Whether it was military or civil affairs, he had managed them in an orderly manner. He was not as flustered as many disciples of the major sects who were focused on cultivation.
All of this made Wan Sanqian decide to end the observation period early and get in touch with Chu Yunfan as soon as possible.
“What kind of cooperation does the Thousand Treasures Pavilion wish to reach with me?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“Our association has all kinds of commercial channels throughout Grand Xia. I’m sure you’ve heard of these things, Colonel Chu. The Thousand Treasures Pavilion sells and buys all kinds of goods. As long as you need them, we can send them over as soon as possible,” Wan Sanqian said.
Chu Yunfan’s eyes lit up. Coming from the Federation, he was most unaccustomed to the fact that Grand Xia was relatively backward in some aspects. If he was in the Federation, he would be able to get his hands on any item he wanted as soon as he placed an order. This saved him a lot of time.
In the past, many cultivators still had to travel through mountains and rivers to find various medicinal herbs. This would delay a lot of time and things. But if he had the Thousand Treasures Pavilion as a medium, it could be said that it solved Chu Yunfan’s urgent need, especially when he wanted to make pills to increase the strength of the army on a large scale. He needed a large number of medicinal herbs.
“Other than that, we also buy all kinds of medicinal herbs, treasures, martial arts manuals, and so on. As long as there’s something valuable, we’ll buy it,” Wan Sanqian continued, “As of date, you’ve uprooted all the major forces in Baotai, and I believe there are many things that you won’t be able to use for the time being. Instead of keeping them, you might as well sell them to our association. As for the price, we’ll definitely satisfy you and won’t let you suffer a loss.”
Wan Sanqian didn’t show any strange expressions when he stated that Chu Yunfan had uprooted the five major forces. To the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the five major forces of Baotai were not even worth of a glance. In thai entire city, only Chu Yunfan had the qualifications for such an honor.
Chu Yunfan nodded. He did have a lot of resources that he didn’t need. Although they might be important to a force, they were useless to him personally. If he handed them all over to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion to deal with, it could save him a lot of effort.
“In our opinion, you have a bright future, Colonel Chu. Of course, it can’t be just this. We hope to establish a long-term relationship with you,” Wan Sanqian said bluntly.
Chu Yunfan could understand this. His future was limitless, and many more forces surely would want to cooperate with him in the future.
“In addition, here’s an invitation letter from our association. In ten days, our branch here will be holding an auction. Only guests that our association values will receive an invitation. Although we have not cooperated before, you are already a distinguished guest to us. Therefore, we hope you will take the time to come.” Wan Sanqian took out an invitation from the void and handed it to Chu Yunfan.
