Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 590: Chapter 293: Black Demon Lineage, Returning to the Lu Family

After the Formless Demon Corpse disguised as Li Bai left, Lu Chan glanced at Han Li outside the courtyard and couldn’t help but scrutinize him twice. Judging by his bone age, he wasn’t very old, possibly not even past the age of forty.

Yet his cultivation level was already at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

No wonder he is Fellow Daoist Li’s direct disciple, his talent is truly terrifying.

Compared to him, my most prized disciple Lu Xinghe falls short by no insignificant margin.

Thinking of this, Lu Chan quickly transmitted a message to call Lu Xinghe, "Han, your master isn’t here, so I’m the closest person to you. If you need anything, you can directly instruct my disciple Lu Xinghe; he is the great-grandson of Lu Family’s Fourth Elder. As long as there is a matter, he can handle it properly. He will definitely not let you down."

After finishing, Lu Chan turned to Lu Xinghe, who was bewildered, and said, "Did you hear? If you can’t manage it, you will be responsible for the consequences."

Lu Xinghe hurriedly nodded.

He felt this scene was somewhat familiar, as though he had been introduced to an outsider before, facing Li Bai.

Now again introduced to an outsider.

And is tasked with doing things for them.

Could this person be another Li Bai?

"First take him to your place for temporary residence, if there are any problems, report to me immediately." Lu Chan left a message and returned to the house, preparing for the last phase prior to Core Formation.

Lu Xinghe quickly nodded, leading Han Li away. Along the way, Lu Xinghe deliberately probed into Wen Jiu’s background, but Wen Jiu brushed it off casually. After multiple fruitless attempts, Lu Xinghe ceased his probing.

Following Lu Xinghe around his dwelling place, Wen Jiu did not continue staying at Lu’s house and found an excuse to check on Fang Qian’s situation. Fang Qian’s role is the first in his setup, naturally needing a good start.

Also, the ears may be deceived while the eyes are trustworthy, so Wen Jiu plans to see it himself, to prevent Lu Chan from only reporting good news without the bad.

Lu Xinghe wanted to accompany him, and Wen Jiu did not refuse.

Because after all, Lu Xinghe is a member of the Lu family, and following him to Fang Qian’s Trading House will only serve to enhance things.

...

Fang Qian’s Trading House is located in the outer city of East Pole Immortal City, not because Lu Chan deliberately didn’t let Fang Qian establish in the inner city, but because the inner city hosts many Golden Core major influences, making it somewhat difficult to carve a slice of the pie.

Most importantly, Fang Qian is quite smart, not rushing into the inner city to do high-tier resource business.

Even with Lu Chan’s assistance behind the scenes, Fang Qian knows himself well enough to initially position Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House to only deal with Tier One and Tier Two resource businesses, up to the highest of Tier Two Middle Grade.

When Wen Jiu arrived at Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House, the house was not yet open, but the recruitment notice was continuously spreading through the streets and alleys. However, Fang Qian wasn’t recruiting people to join the trading house, but to reside within the trading house.

This surprised Wen Jiu because in a world with strong control desires, whether in trading houses, families, or sects, everything is tightly controlled, yet Fang Qian is offering a platform for others.

As Fang Qian returned to the trading house after settling Ye Chen and the others, upon seeing Wen Jiu, he was overjoyed. For these days, he had not only been setting up the trading house but also pondering a matter: the relationship between Han Li and that Golden Core Zhenren. For a Golden Core Zhenren to favor him and have the Golden Core major influence Lu Family assist him, there surely must be a connection to Han Li, and Han Li is likely that Golden Core cultivator’s confidant. Upon reflection, how could he have such prowess if not a confidant?

"Brother Han!"

Fang Qian greeted warmly, raising a hand in 礼 (a form of greeting).

Upon feeling the Late Stage Foundation Establishment aura intentionally released by Wen Jiu, he was even more shocked.

Further confirming his guess.

Wen Jiu’s gaze swept over the entire trading house, noticing quite a few guards, almost one at each step.

This does not resemble a trading house but rather a military camp.

After introducing Lu Xinghe, Wen Jiu asked, "A senior sent me to check on your progress, what is this?"

Immediately Fang Qian talked freely, "Brother Han, please convey to that senior that I can assuredly make it prosperous. I thought of a new business concept, similar to a market, we provide stalls and security assurance, inviting sellers to settle, only charging some procedural fees.

But my Eight Directions Treasure Gathering is not like a market; we don’t sell anything, we just provide a place. Because I accidentally found that all loose cultivators buying items are extremely cautious, yet, even so, they are very easily deceived. Similarly, many loose cultivators dare not sell items in the market, easily becoming targets, resulting in losing both wealth and life. They’re left with no choice but to sell to powerful trading houses, losing three to four tenths of profit.

So our Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House can eliminate all concerns for those loose cultivators. Buyers can buy with peace of mind, assuredly not buying counterfeits because we thoroughly inspect every item sold, ensuring authenticity and quality. Sellers can also sell with reassurance, we provide absolute secure selling services, ensuring no one beyond Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House knows who the sellers are.

And we only charge very low transaction fees, lower than anywhere else. Although minimal, once we open branches in markets or Independent Practitioner Immortal Cities, over time, it will certainly reap profits."

Fang Qian quietly transmitted another sentence, "The main thing is, we can earn from both guests and sellers, all by providing the most basic guarantees."

After hearing Fang Qian’s words, Wen Jiu was rather impressed with his vision—this is indeed creating a platform.

Using others’ assets to make money.

A clever trick.

But this world is more challenging than the one he originated from; the issue of credibility is incredibly difficult to establish.

"Then how will you establish excellent credibility and reputation? Loose cultivators are suspicious, generally cautious, why would they trust you?" Wen Jiu asked again, he had a resolution but wanted to see if Fang Qian had reached this point.

Fang Qian showed a troubled expression, "Brother Han, you’ve hit the key point, credibility is the toughest to establish. Currently, even though Senior Lu Chan is willing to assist me, it’s still not enough, far from enough.

If there was..."

Wen Jiu knew what Fang Qian wanted to say, "Soon there will be."

He wouldn’t allow any alias to openly stand behind the trading house as a backing, it would contradict the original intention because once involved too much, trouble also multiplies. Thus his plan is still to cultivate a Golden Core cultivator to stand behind the trading house.

Lu Chan is his chosen candidate.

"Seems like I need to ensure Lu Chan successfully forms a True Pill." Wen Jiu thought to himself. Fang Qian’s idea is excellent; once the starting point is completed, showing loose cultivators a Golden Core cultivator standing behind, possessing a degree of credibility, it will lead to endless sellers settling in.

With more sellers.

More buyers.

Fang Qian will be able to unite all loose cultivators, or small factions, through this clever trick.

After all, in this world, major influences aim to swallow small influences or to make them subordinates, never have they assisted them or protected them. This is the absolute advantage of Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House.

Certainly.

Without a strong backing, Golden Core Major Influences will surely covet this piece of unclaimed territory, but when Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House attracts those Golden Core Major Influences’ covetousness, he has already furthered through Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House.

If those major powers dare act in secret, cutting them behind the scenes will be the solution.

"Then I’ll be troubling Brother Han!" Fang Qian rejoiced after receiving Han Li’s promise.

Soon after, Wen Jiu handed over a storage bag containing two hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones as initial capital for the trading house.

"This is what that senior asked me to give you."

Seeing the Spirit Stones, Fang Qian was even more delighted.

The more capital there is.

The greater his assurance in making Eight Directions Treasure Gathering Trading House successful!
