Chapter 742 - What Kind of BackgroundChapter 742: What Kind of Background
As the group entered the chamber of commerce, Ling Chuxi looked around, but did not find anything out of the ordinary.
Su Yizhi walked in calmly, and the shopkeeper inside instantly perked up. “Elder Su, you’re all here.” The shopkeeper immediately came over to welcome him.
“Shopkeeper Ding, how are things shaping up on the matter I sought your help for yesterday?” Su Yizhi courteously cupped his fist to his palm and bowed.

“Small issue?” Su Yizhi frowned quizzically.
“Please have a seat inside first. This matter is a bit hard for me to explain, so I’ll ask the main shopkeeper to personally describe the issue to you,” Shopkeeper Ding said politely, leading Su Yizhi and the rest into the inner courtyard.
Ling Chuxi could not believe her eyes. Although the chamber of commerce appeared to be quite rundown on the outside, its interior was extremely spacious. It even had a small courtyard, its decorations not overly lavish, but with the elegance of an ancient, rustic charm.
Having spent a long time in Mo Kongyuan’s garden, Ling Chuxi had learned and seen quite a bit under his subtle influence. She could see that this seemingly simple little courtyard was done up and maintained quite well, each plant carefully selected and taken care of. Among them were uncommon and rare flora and mountain rocks that she had only seen in Mo Kongyuan’s garden, and would have been hard to find anywhere else.
This Cai Tong Chamber of commerce was not as simple as it looked!
They all sat down, and a servant soon appeared with tea. Shopkeeper Ding asked them to wait for a moment and then went away.
“Elder Su, what are we here for?” Ling Chuxi asked, perplexed. Earlier, she had been under the impression that they were there because Su Yizhi had asked this chamber of commerce for help in rebuilding the Golden Pill Sect. However, from the way things were going, that did not seem to be the case.

The reason why the various sects have not been known by outsiders these tens of thousands of years is also because of a similar barrier. Although the barrier is nowhere near as strong as the one on Little Silver Ancient Mountain, one has to at least have the cultivation of the realm of True Essence to forcefully pass through it,” Su Yizhi said seriously. The moment he said that, the crowd’s expressions changed. Su Yizhi’s words were like a stone falling into a lake, creating ripples in the aftermath.
Now, Ling Chuxi finally understood why outsiders didn’t know about the sects. It was no wonder they were so mysterious. In this group of people, only Su Yizhi, Su Yizhen, Ling Yichen and herself had reached the realm of True Essence. Furthermore, Su Yizhi had also mentioned that they could only force their way in, so others had no reason to bother about it.
Su Yanhua and the rest of the Su family disciples all turned red when they heard these words. In the past, they had always felt proud of being descendants of a sect, and thought that they were a cut above the rest. However, in truth, they did not even have the cultivation needed to be in a sect. They felt ashamed just thinking about it.
“Do you mean that this Chamber of Commerce can help us?” Ling Chuxi asked with a frown. Could this Chamber of Commerce truly help them enter the sect?
“Don’t look down on this Chamber of Commerce; only they have the ability to open the path to the sects, so even the greatest sects show them respect,” Su Yizhi said with a smile.
Ling Chuxi was speechless. Earlier, she had guessed that this unassuming Cai Tong Chamber of Commerce was not as simple as it looked, but she never would have thought that she had underestimated them this much. What kind of background did this chamber of commerce have?
The group talked about it for a while, but the main shopkeeper that Shopkeeper Ding mentioned did not appear. Lan Xinyu and a few others went to walk around the courtyard to stretch their muscles. Sitting down all the time had made their butts sore.
At that moment, a new group of people approached the little courtyard. It was the Duan family that they had met yesterday! The young man called Duan Feiyu was among them, but there was no sign of Duan Qingchen and Duan Xiaomo, the grandfather and grandchild duo.
