Chapter 1183: Chapter 572: Another Peerless Genius, Seven-Colored Life Chart Foreseeing the Future_2

In this case, it would, instead, earn the other party’s favor.

"Oh, it seems you know a little about the Mixed Element Commerce’s rules."

"You actually know that doing so can gain you a three-star membership with the guild."

"However, ordinary treasures won’t suffice for this."

Steward Liu smiled slightly.

For him, if he could secure a precious treasure for the guild, his performance would greatly improve, and he could also gain substantial contribution points from the sect. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

So naturally, he hoped more cultivators would come to offer treasures.

The problem is that such opportunities are rare and serendipitous.

Not many cultivators in the world are willing to do so.

Unless they encounter difficulties and seek the guild’s protection.

But this is also the original intention behind the guild establishing this system.

If it weren’t for secure protection, who would be willing to pay such a high price?

"Rest assured, this treasure of mine is guaranteed to satisfy the guild."

Gu Tianya, without any hesitation, immediately took out a magical treasure from himself, revealing a low-grade Celestial Spiritual Treasure, emitting a faint cyan glow.

"This is the Cyan Dragon Bright Moon Sword, a low-grade Celestial Spiritual Treasure."

"Even Divinity Transformation cultivators desire this magical treasure."

"And you are willing to offer this treasure to the Mixed Element Commerce?"

Steward Liu was utterly shocked; he never expected that the Qi Cultivation Cultivator before him possessed such an extraordinary treasure.

He himself was a Golden Core Cultivator but had never owned a low-grade Celestial Spiritual Treasure.

This loose cultivator before him was truly unfathomable.

"To tell the truth, Steward Liu, I acquired this from stone betting."

"But because of this, I became the target of the Qian family’s greed."

"They’ve already set their eyes on me."

"If this keeps up, I’m sure to be killed by them."

"So, to save my life, I have no choice but to seek the protection of the Mixed Element Commerce."

Gu Tianya spoke helplessly, explaining the background of why he sought the guild’s protection.

He knew the guild’s greatest taboo was lying.

If he chose to lie, many variables would arise.

After all, if the trouble was too significant, the guild would not be foolish enough to involve themselves.

But if it’s merely sheltering an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator and dealing with the Qian family, it’s naturally not an issue.

For the Qian family is merely a Nascent Soul Clan.

They would not dare to offend the Mixed Element Commerce.

Precisely because of this understanding, he came here to seek the guild’s help.

"So, you got it from stone betting? You really have good fortune."

"But because you lack strength, this incident turned into a disaster."

"Yet, you’re quite wise to seek assistance from our guild."

"To be honest with you, besides our guild, few others in this area can help you."

"You have enough luck and intelligence, indeed suitable to become part of our guild."

Steward Liu smiled slightly, looking at Gu Tianya with great appreciation.

He immediately understood Gu Tianya’s myriad troubles.

For an ordinary cultivator, it was indeed a colossal problem, almost a certain death.

But for the Mixed Element Commerce, it was just a minor inconvenience.

A single word from them would deter the Qian family from acting recklessly.

"Thank you, Steward Liu."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Tianya was filled with joy.

Though he had already forecasted this many times, only upon its confirmation, he finally relaxed, for he now truly had someone to rely on.

All the previous life-threatening crises vanished entirely.

......

A day later, Gu Tianya became a member of the Mixed Element Commerce.

The Qian family also received a warning from the guild and immediately retreated.

After all, the Mixed Element Commerce had previously eradicated numerous powers, leaving an enduring influence.

Now, no one dared to rashly offend the guild, fearing they would suffer as examples to others.

This allowed Gu Tianya to completely relax, as the guild indeed had integrity.

Paid for services rendered, a deadly crisis thus dissipated into nothingness.

He also obtained protection from a significant power.

"Though you’ve joined the Mixed Element Commerce, and the Qian family won’t act against you in the short term."

"But there’s no permanence in guarding against a thief."

"If you stay here, you might one day be assassinated by the Qian family’s cultivators."

"So I plan to transfer you to another branch, temporarily avoiding the Qian family’s edge."

"What do you think?"

Steward Liu said to Gu Tianya.

He had gained many benefits from this young man, and as the saying goes, those who accept rewards are obliged to resolve issues.

Since this young man understood societal norms well, he didn’t mind giving him a promising future.

Whether he could seize it would depend on the young man’s abilities.

"Steward Liu, I’d certainly agree."

Gu Tianya promptly replied.

In fact, he had simulated many scenarios this very day. Although the Qian family agreed outwardly, they secretly harbored ill intentions, persistently tracking his whereabouts.

If he stayed inside the city, there wouldn’t be significant issues, but once outside, in the wild, he would face assassination from the Qian family’s cultivators.

However, they wouldn’t take action directly, but rather attribute it to other Tribulation Cultivators.

Even if the guild avenged him later, it would be too late.

So instead of staying here, fearful of Qian’s revenge, it was better to depart and avoid confrontation.

Once he fully grew in strength, he could then exact revenge on the Qian family.

After all, as the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge takes ten years at least.

Therefore, if he could leave here with the guild’s assistance, it would be the best possible outcome.

"That’s good then."

"Since you’ve become part of the guild, you can now learn some things about it."

"Our Mixed Element Commerce isn’t just spread across the East Continent."

"In fact, branches of our guild exist in every continent of the Void Realm."

Steward Liu explained.

What?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianya’s pupils contracted, a storm brewed in his heart, leaving him very shocked.

Previously, he knew that the Mixed Element Commerce, being a Divinity Transformation influence, was no ordinary force, with mysterious depth and branches throughout the various major cities of the East Continent.

But now he saw the commerce’s reach was not limited to just the East Continent.

The guild’s influence extended to other places as well.

No wonder the guild members looked down upon his various treasures.

For such a superpower, ordinary treasures would not catch their eye.

Even a low-grade Celestial Spiritual Treasure would be deemed merely valuable, not extraordinary.

Joining such a superpower was indeed a tremendous opportunity.

If seized properly, he could absolutely soar to greater heights, beyond this small locale.

"Steward Liu, may I know where I might go?"

Gu Tianya asked curiously.

"Currently, branches across the East Continent aren’t lacking in personnel."

"The place in dire need of people is the Endless Sea Region."

"I plan to transfer you there."

Steward Liu thought for a while, then spoke.

"The Endless Sea Region? Could it be within the ocean?"

"But the Endless Sea Region was unreachable even for the four major Divinity Transformation Sects of the ancient East Continent."

"Could the Mixed Element Commerce set foot there?"

Gu Tianya couldn’t help asking.

He found the guild’s power to be beyond imagination.

It seemed the guild was not a native East Continent power but originated from elsewhere in the Void Realm.

This was a dragon crossing the river.

No wonder the guild could quickly rise to prominence in just over a decade.

"Certainly, why would you consider our guild an ordinary force?"

"Though it’s called the Endless Sea Region, it’s not truly infinite, just vast enough to earn the name."

"According to our guild’s division, the entire Endless Sea Region is split into one hundred and eight sea territories."

"During the Ancient Era, these territories were occupied by ancient True Spirits."

"Due to changes over time, those ancient True Spirits are long extinct, replaced by countless sea beasts."

"You could say the Entire Sea Region has become a haven for sea beasts."

"Recently, with the Spiritual Energy Revival, many beasts are rapidly evolving, birthing numerous Divinity Transformation Level, even Void Refining Level, sea beasts in the depths."

Steward Liu elaborated.
