Chapter 1176: Chapter 614 Tang Lixin

Seeing Wei Kingdom in a peaceful state and no major incidents occurring in the Golden Crow Country also implied that the downfall of He Zhengsong and the others did not expose any clues.

As a result, the Five Poison Sect wouldn’t rashly take action in the short term, and so the couple no longer had any concerns for their safety.

As for the news of Liu Nantian and his group’s demise, there was no stir about it in Yuanzhen City, only the legends of the Yuan Zhen Three Monsters continued to resonate loudly.

Even when cultivators began discussing it, it immediately garnered the attention of many.

However, Lin Tianming thought that since Liu Nantian and his group were notorious for their evil deeds and often secluded themselves in dangerous secret realms for cultivation, they always disguised themselves when they appeared in public, afraid of exposing any information, and thus inviting trouble.

Having grown accustomed to such caution, their silent demise, especially in a dangerous place like Ice Wind Valley, went unnoticed by all.

Even after several years, no one in the cultivation world had received the news of their end.

Otherwise, given the reputation of the Yuan Zhen Three Monsters, once the word got out, it would certainly stir up a great commotion.

This was fine by Lin Tianming, who was a person of low profile, not wishing to expose his whereabouts or strength.

Since many pieces of information remained unknown, it was also beneficial for him and his wife to continue their travels across the center of Qingzhou.

As Lin Tianming gradually gained control over this external information, he no longer mingled with the circles of lower-level cultivators.

One morning, Lin Tianming left his Cave Mansion and arrived at the Sky Dragon Pavilion branch located in Yuanzhen City.

After showing the Token that Tang Xiuping had given him, the receptionist recognized that Lin Tianming must be someone of distinguished status, either a distinguished guest of the Tang Family or a business partner.

Regardless of which it was, it was not someone a cultivator in charge of reception could afford to offend.

Thus, the cultivator hurriedly reported to the higher management of the shop, and eventually, the Chief Steward of the Sky Dragon Pavilion personally received Lin Tianming.

Soon, Lin Tianming was seated in one of the Sky Dragon Pavilion’s VIP rooms.

Opposite him, a woman with an enchanting figure, dressed in yellow palace garments, was sizing up Lin Tianming.

It was clear that this woman was a bit arrogant, unreservedly scrutinizing others.

Such behavior is considered very impolite among cultivators, as encountering someone with a bad temper or an expert wishing to conceal their power could easily provoke conflict, or even lead to lethal trouble.

Yet, this woman was so forthright, probably because she relied on being from the Nascent Soul Forces of the prestigious Tang Family and being one of their top-level core family members.

Despite feeling somewhat displeased, Lin Tianming did not take it too seriously.

After all, the woman came from a noble birth and also had some cultivation strength, so her arrogance was only natural.

So, while the woman was assessing Lin Tianming, he too was discreetly observing her.

After a period of observation, Lin Tianming noticed the woman’s robust aura, which despite being very subtle, was detected by the keen-smelling Lin Tianming with his powerful Divine Sense.

As a result, Lin Tianming also felt a hint of pressure from this VIP lady in yellow palace garments.

Clearly, the identity and cultivation of the person managing this branch of the Sky Dragon Pavilion were extraordinary.

Over the years, Lin Tianming had visited many workshops and even some large cities on the Immortal Path.

In those Sky Dragon Pavilion shops, the Chief Stewards were usually Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators, as was the case with Tang Xiuyuan who previously managed the Qianchuan Market now under the control of the Lin Family, and he was only at the Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment.

If it weren’t for Tang Xiuyuan’s later cultivation improvement, his cultivation might still be around the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment right now.

Moreover, Lin Tianming had encountered several Sky Dragon Pavilion branch Chief Stewards over the years.

In the workshops under Myriad Medicine Valley, the Chief Stewards of the Sky Dragon Pavilion were also at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment.

Even the branch Chief Steward in Xitang City had cultivation at the Early Stage of the Golden Core.

Xitang City, with its renowned status in the Southern Qingzhou and as the first major city with a Teleportation Formation, undoubtedly holds a significant role in commerce and people flow among the Southern Seven Kingdoms.

That said, the Sky Dragon Pavilion branch in Xitang City plays a crucial role among the many properties owned by the Tang Family.

Even so, the Chief Steward in Xitang City was only at the Early Stage Golden Core Cultivation.

Considering this and the considerable size of the Tang Family’s properties, their Commerce Alliance must be active across various nations in Qingzhou and likely has shops in the large cities of the surrounding provinces or even the central Three Provinces.

To manage such extensive operations, the Tang Family needs many core forces to support them.

For example, a branch in a large city managed by a Late Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be somewhat insufficient, inefficient, and insecure.

A Golden Core Stage Cultivator in a single nation is essentially considered a strong force, and with the support of the prestigious Tang Family of Qingzhou, managing the nation’s properties is quite fitting.

Regarding Yuanzhen City, being one of the top cities on the Qingzhou Land and having a long-distance Teleportation Formation, it allows for the shortest travel time to other continents.
