Inside the room, only Chu Feng and the president of the Martial Merchant Guild remained.
"Now it's convenient to talk?" the Martial Merchant Guild president asked.
"Talk about what?" Chu Feng asked, confused.
"About your relationship with that crazy woman, of course," the Martial Merchant Guild president said.
And so, Chu Feng recounted to the Martial Merchant Guild president the story of how he had encountered the crazy woman.
But he concealed the part about his father.
"That's all there was to it?" the Martial Merchant Guild president asked.
"Yeah, that's all."
"Maybe that senior took a liking to my potential, which is why she did what she did?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
"If it were anyone else, that might be the case. But with her, absolutely not."
"Forget it. There's no point dwelling on it. That crazy woman's way of doing things has always been beyond ordinary people's understanding."
"Tell me about the Fortune Sacred Realm, then," the Martial Merchant Guild president said.
"I'm not going to the Fortune Sacred Realm," Chu Feng said.
"Not going?" The Martial Merchant Guild president was somewhat surprised, then said: "It's true that people from my Martial Merchant Guild can't exactly show their faces there, but if you want to compete, I can actually find a way to hire some people to help you."
"However, since you've provoked the Seven Realms Holy Palace and are now facing the Prison Sect, there probably won't be many people willing to help."
Hearing this, Chu Feng was somewhat moved.
As the Martial Merchant Guild president had said, few people currently dared to help Chu Feng, which meant it would take a large sum to find such people.
The Martial Merchant Guild president was prepared to spend heavily to help Chu Feng.
Chu Feng then went on to describe in detail the matters regarding the Fortune Sacred Realm.
Naturally, he also expressed his decision not to go.
"If that's the case, then not going is actually for the best."
"Take this." The Martial Merchant Guild president tossed a Universe Bag to Chu Feng.
Inside was a massive amount of cultivation resources.
They were in no way inferior to what the Totem Dragon Clan leader had given him — in fact, their quality was even higher.
"Senior..."
Chu Feng was about to speak when the Martial Merchant Guild president cut him off: "I've been preparing this for a long time and only finished gathering everything recently. Save your words of gratitude — this isn't a free gift. Just remember to repay me once you've made something of yourself."
"I will," Chu Feng said.
Although, after receiving the resources from the Totem Dragon Clan leader, Chu Feng already had confidence in breaking through to First-grade True God.
And given Chu Feng's demand for cultivation resources, these resources alone wouldn't allow him to advance any further.
But at the very least, they could lay a solid foundation.
Afterward, the Martial Merchant Guild president provided Chu Feng with a place for secluded cultivation.
But during his seclusion, Chu Feng did not attempt to break through to First-grade True God.
It wasn't that he didn't want to — the timing simply wasn't right yet.
This Divine Thunder Tribulation would be difficult, and Chu Feng would need time to break through.
So Chu Feng began studying the contents of the compass behind the mountain peak of the Fortune Sacred Realm.
Hoping to glean some additional insights about the Fortune Sacred Realm from it.
...
As time passed, at the location of the Fortune Sacred Realm, more and more powerful experts from the Prison Sect gathered.
In the starry sky, within a hidden grand hall, Baili Zilin sat cross-legged. His injuries had largely healed by now.
He was focused on cultivating, but what he practiced was not a martial cultivation method — it was barrier techniques.
He cultivated with extreme diligence, and only opened his eyes when he sensed Jimo Qianzhou's arrival.
"Uncle Qianzhou, what did the Ancient Faction say?" Baili Zilin asked with concern.
It turned out that in order to succeed in the challenge, they had sought help from the Ancient Faction.
And since the Ancient Faction and the New Faction had always been at odds, he was worried the Ancient Faction would refuse.
"Yun Ao said the Ancient Faction can help us, but regarding Wang Qiang, you must offer a sincere apology," Jimo Qianzhou said.
"Fine," Baili Zilin agreed.
His ready acceptance even caught Jimo Qianzhou off guard.
