I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 213 Blending into the Business Alliance
After two months, I saw Situ Yan again. His posture had changed a lot. At least he looked calmer than when we first met him, and his arrogance had subsided.

"I've met the city lord!" Li Jizhou bowed and handed over his hands.

"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to be like this. You are my businessman in Liuyun City. It's only right that you and I work together to build the glory of Liuyun City. No need to be polite, just watch!" Situ Yan smiled boldly and pointed to the seat next to him. .

"With City Lord Situ commanding the ten southern cities, we will surely reach new heights." Li Jizhou agreed with a smile.

When Situ Yan heard this, he frowned instantly.

He sighed heavily: "Unfortunately, not everyone thinks like Master Li!"

"Oh? Are there any merchants of our generation who don't want the Immortal City to prosper?" Li Jizhou said very cooperatively.

Situ Yan's face suddenly darkened.

After a long time, he narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned over slowly: "Did you know that in Liuyun City, among the big merchants who rely on the prosperous merchants established by the merchant alliance to make money day by day, there are actually people who are involved in a cult!"

"Is this happening?" Li Jizhou was shocked.

"Tell me, are these people's consciences eaten by dogs? Do they earn spiritual stones from the monks in the Immortal City, but are engaged in the business of funding evil cults? Should they be cut to pieces?" Situ Yan became more and more excited as he spoke.

At this moment, Li Jizhou understood everything.

"Li absolutely believes in the wise decision of the city lord and supports the city lord!" Li Jizhou did not dare to accept the words, but pushed back, for fear that Situ Yan would blame him for killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Situ Yan looked at Li Jizhou for a moment, but his rhythm was disrupted by his method. After a while, he continued forcefully: "It is not difficult to kill thieves. However, for fear of affecting the business environment of Immortal City, thieves have been entrenched in Immortal City for many years. The property is spread all over the cities, and if there is no big businessman to take it over by then, there may be something wrong."

Li Jizhou nodded slightly, and his suspicion that Situ Yan invited him basically came true.

From this point of view, Situ Yan has decided on a target, and with his unruly temperament, he may choose a bigger target.

The target has influential shops in all the major fairy cities. Once he destroys the target, he will not be able to take over those shops. After all, the merchant alliance has always established an image that does not compete with the merchants in the city. Even if the shops are recycled, they will eventually be destroyed. It is then rented out.

Just like the previous shops of Feihong Xianzhuang in the fairy city, they would take them back and then rent them out with the goods. On the surface, they only recycle the shops, but they do not compete with the merchants for profits. Moreover, it was caused by the battle between Feihong Xianzhuang and other forces.

But now, it was him who took action personally, and he couldn't do it too obviously, otherwise other merchants would worry that he would be the next target.

The number of shops recovered this time will be large, and the goods inside will be valuable.

This requires someone to help him take over and quickly realize the goods to quickly eliminate its impact on the market.

Of course, the most important thing is that Situ Yan was probably stimulated by the donation and decided to take the largest merchant in the fairy city into his own hands. Only in this way can the shame of the donation be put to an end forever.

But he can't do it too obviously, so he needs an agent.

As for the target candidate for this agent, the original identity should not be too bad, and it cannot be a sect family, otherwise it will be difficult to control.

In the end, of course, if it can be easily manipulated by myself!
Obviously, looking at Liuyun City, Li Jizhou is the most suitable.

Li Jizhou looked up at Situ Yan, his eyes full of greed!

"If the city lord doesn't give up, if Li is willing to help the city lord, he will definitely obey the city lord's lead!"

In Situ Yan's eyes, Li Jizhou was a soft persimmon that could be manipulated at will, and he was completely unable to compare with those merchants from the sect's family.

I was able to call him here this time and speak so clearly, so I felt confident.

If Li Jizhou refuses or does not agree with him, he may change his face in an instant.

In addition, Li Jizhou has already known about the business alliance and the Demon Sect of Wei. In order to have a smooth path for himself and to eliminate the possibility of the Demon Sect's ranch in his next life, he has decided to secretly help Ye Jingyu and Wuxiangjiao.

At this moment, he just happened to sneak into the business alliance.

"Hahaha, shopkeeper Li is a smart person, very good, I like smart people!" Situ Yan was very satisfied with his plans.

He would not think that this was Li Jizhou's understanding of current affairs, but that he had calculated everything thoroughly.

"We all have to rely on the Holy Spirit of the City Lord!"

"Okay, I hope we can sincerely cooperate and unite in the future to create a prosperous world for the ten southern cities!" "Definitely!"

Without saying anything else, Li Jizhou said goodbye and left.

After Li Jizhou walked out of the city lord's mansion, old servant Situ Yan walked out.

"How is it? This city lord has explored the origin of his birth and has already figured it out thoroughly."

"The casual cultivators in a small place like Qi State may have had some small chance to form an elixir. This is already considered the peak of their abilities. In addition, they have purchased life-extending fruit at high prices in recent years. They must be living in despair because they know their future. "

"In order to survive, he needs a lot of spiritual stones to buy life-extending fruit. This kind of person is the easiest to manipulate!"

"When this city lord supports him as the first businessman in the ten southern cities, then there will never be such a shame as this fundraising event again!"

Situ Yan looked at the old servant sideways and said proudly.

The old servant smiled and finally nodded in agreement.

It was not easy to dissuade Situ Yan from killing someone that day.

Although this approach still has some consequences, it is already very good.

Li Jizhou had just returned to the mansion and immediately summoned Xiao Guo.

Give him instructions to recruit more store clerks in each city.

And once again emphasize that all consignment business must be settled immediately.

Three days later, a major earthquake occurred in ten cities in the southern part of Yan State.

The seven sect alliances in Jinduishan colluded with the cult and provided the cult with long-term war-ready elixirs and talismans. They were the spies of the cult in the fairy city. Lord Situ Yan mobilized hundreds of masters from the headquarters to destroy them overnight with thunderous force.

Very popular!

All its shops in ten cities have been sealed.

In an instant, ten cities were shaken.

Especially those merchants in Liuyun City who had reached an agreement with Jinduicheng and deliberately humiliated Situ Yan when collecting donations were in danger.

They all guarded the door and wall, and some even secretly formed alliances with each other.

However, after a few days of suffering, Situ Yan made no move, and even recruited major merchants to discuss the leasing and sale of the major recovered shops in Jindui City.

The major merchants breathed a sigh of relief.

But in my heart, I became more wary of the Merchant Alliance, and my impression of it completely changed.

At this point, the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is achieved.

A few days later, another news shocked the major merchants again.

Previously, Taobao Pavilion, which had not been able to stand out in the eyes of these first-class and special-class merchants and did not have its own core craftsmen, Keqing, actually took over all the fairy city industries in Jinduishan in one fell swoop.
And was instantly upgraded to a first-class partner by Fairy City.

Taobao Pavilion is in the limelight for a while.

But at this time, Li Jizhou had no intention of celebrating.

Because on this day, Ye Jingyu and the others finally returned to the border between the two countries.

"Stop!" Han Zhenren suddenly stopped the three people who were about to pass through the customs as if they were entering the country.

At this moment, the four of them were only five hundred miles away from the border. Although they looked ahead as before, Li Jizhou's annual ring sensor had already sensed that several demonic cultivators in the late stage of forming pills were lurking on the border, opening a big net and waiting for their prey. Throw yourself into a trap!
