Chapter 1018 Holding Base
Chen Yang’s face immediately broke into a smile upon hearing this.
Rong Yuqing was indeed someone who knew good quality.
“The price and everything else can be discussed, but what about those treasures from the Confucian school!”
Without a second thought, Rong Yuqing took out the Confucian treasures he had previously bought from Senior Dragon Egg from his tree tomb space.
As these items were brought out, the gazes of everyone else around them lit up.
Not only were the Confucian treasures numerous and varied, but each treasure also contained extremely powerful energy.
However, before everyone could get a clear look at what they were, Xi Bai had already put everything away.
Chen Yang looked at Xi Bai with a strange expression.
Chen Yang had been wondering how Xi Bai had managed to store these items. Now it seemed this guy also had a spatial treasure!
On their way back, Chen Yang and Rong Yuqing had already settled on the price.
Except for a few special locations where Chen Yang needed to deliver the goods personally, all other martial artists’ orders were handled by Tianji Linglong.
Chen Yang also handed over the promotion of the Immortal Wine entirely to Tianji Linglong.
As for the profit distribution, Chen Yang did not deliberately make things difficult for Rong Yuqing.
After all, the quantity of the first batch of Immortal Wine, even if all of it was sold, would not be enough to cover the cost of the Confucian treasures.
Upon returning to Qingzhou City, Xi Bai took out all the items.
“As we agreed, you can pick two items.”
As soon as Xi Bai said this, Chen Yang looked at him with a wry smile. “These are all heirlooms of your Confucian school. How can it be appropriate for me to take two of them?”
“If those old scholars of the Confucian school knew about this, they would come to my door to smash it.”
Chen Yang had no intention of taking Xi Bai’s treasures. With their friendship, Chen Yang would not stoop to such a level.
Xi Bai said awkwardly, “This… you spent so many spirit stones, and now I can’t give you anything.”
“If I don’t take two items, how will I face people if this gets out?”
While the Confucian treasures were indeed very precious, the Immortal Wine that Chen Yang had brought out was also an extremely special existence.
In order to get back these Confucian treasures, Chen Yang had given up the sales rights of the Immortal Wine.
It was important to note that Chen Yang also had his own channels in business.
Even without giving up the sales rights of the Immortal Wine, with Chen Yang’s strength, he could still promote this Immortal Wine.
He didn’t even need to promote it; a unique product would naturally be fought over by everyone.
In Xi Bai’s opinion, Chen Yang had suffered a huge loss this time for him.
Bei Xuan, who was standing nearby, saw that Chen Yang genuinely did not want to accept anything, so he opened his mouth and said, “Hey, we may not have that many spirit stones now, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have them in the future, right?”
“The spirit stones aren’t urgent. There’s something I need to trouble both of you with,” Chen Yang said, and their gazes immediately focused on him.
“A fellow named Shi Tianning came to Qingzhou City a couple of days ago.”
“He was originally just an ordinary Grandmaster martial artist, but later he suddenly became a peak Grandmaster.”
“What’s more important is that this fellow is with Saint Moon Divine Venerable. Can you two help me keep an eye on this matter?”
Since Chen Yang arrived in Qingzhou City, although his business had been expanding externally, the Heavenly Physician Hall’s influence had actually been shrinking.
On one hand, there was a change in the personnel structure. On the other hand, after dealing with the major dark organizations, Chen Yang needed to shift the Heavenly Physician Hall’s focus to Yangyangyang Company.
For many external matters, the Heavenly Physician Hall’s intelligence might not be as much as that of the Great War Gods.
“Saint Moon Divine Venerable? Why is this guy showing up again? What is he doing in Qingzhou City? Is he looking for trouble with you?”
“Could Shi Tianning have become his divine envoy? Weren’t they all dealt with by you before? It’s not impossible that he’s taking advantage of this time to reassemble some people.”
What Xi Bai cared about was the appearance of Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
After all, this guy was powerful and his background was extremely vague.
However, Bei Xuan, who was standing beside him, was more concerned about something else!
Bei Xuan whispered to Chen Yang, “Making an ordinary Grandmaster martial artist suddenly become a peak Grandmaster? The Zhou family’s gene potion? Is Saint Moon Divine Venerable also involved in this matter?”
“You went overseas before, and you brought so many people. Were you looking for Saint Moon Divine Venerable?”
After Bei Xuan came out of his sect, he immediately received all the intelligence that Huang Chen had collected during this period.
Among this, of course, was information about Chen Yang.
It wasn’t just about the Zhou family’s gene potion.
After the Zhou family was destroyed, Chen Yang left Qingzhou City with many martial artists. Such a large movement without any concealment was naturally known to Huang Chen.
This matter caught Bei Xuan’s attention.
Now that the matter Chen Yang mentioned was clearly related to the gene potion, Bei Xuan naturally had to ask for details.
Xi Bai was stunned for a moment. He had heard some rumors about the gene potion, but he only had a partial understanding of it.
Although the major sects had been keeping an eye on the Zhou family’s gene potion, the Confucian school was different. Confucian martial artists generally did not venture out.
If Xi Bai were not one of the War Gods, he would not have heard any news about this matter.
“Saint Moon Divine Venerable and the Zhou family?”
The eyes of Xi Bai and Bei Xuan simultaneously fell on Chen Yang.
Chen Yang smiled, “Whether Saint Moon Divine Venerable and the Zhou family collaborated is still just speculation.”
“As for why I went overseas before, it was to rescue people, Song Jieshi and Song Wanrong!”
“Bei Xuan, you should know about this. It was you who found me at that time, during the Jiang Huainan incident.”
As soon as he said this, Bei Xuan immediately patted his head.
At that time, Chen Yang had refused this mission. Now it seemed he had already handled the matter.
However, Chen Yang continued, “Song Jieshi has been imprisoned by the Zhou family on a small island all along. Then that must be the Zhou family’s gene potion research base.”
“As for Song Wanrong, her situation is a bit more complicated. A church overseas is also involved, and their research direction is similar to that of gene potions.”
Chen Yang did not intend to keep this matter hidden forever. The reason he attributed the Zhou family’s research base to Jiang Huainan was mainly because Chen Yang did not want to expose the refinement technique he learned from the ancient martial artists.
The fewer people who knew about such things, the safer it would be.
The same was true for Chen Shu’s life-bound magical treasure, the Bronze Tree.
Bei Xuan gasped, some shock in his voice. “A church? They’ve been researching this thing overseas, and I had no idea? How are their research results?”
Chen Yang’s brows furrowed. “Judging from Shi Tianning, the results are very good. The martial artists who had previously taken the gene potion from the Zhou family all suffered significant side effects.”
