Chapter 396 Venture Capital
Lianrong Island is one of the twelve offshore islands established by the Linyuanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Although it is called an "island", its area is not small at all. Its overall shape is an irregular oval, about 300 miles long from north to south and nearly 180 miles from east to west.

With this scale, it can no longer be considered a small island. No wonder it is called an island city.

And in the outer sea of ​​the Endless Sea, there are eleven islands of similar size to this one.

According to legend, these islands did not exist originally, but a certain venerable-level divine cultivator used his great power to move mountains and fill the sea to open up the sea and create these twelve giant islands.

That’s why the financial department said before that many addresses of these islands had changed, probably because they had to be rebuilt due to some force majeure.

Therefore, the history of Lianrong Island from its birth to the present day cannot be considered long, only about two hundred years.

The term of office of the Yuanying Master who guards this island is generally one hundred years. Including the current Master Wenlong, there have been only three people guarding the island so far.

According to what Han Mo learned from Finance, the current guardian of the island, Master Wenlong, is the cousin of Qian Sihai, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce. He took office on Lianrong Island thirty years ago to guard the island and protect the surrounding business routes.

Over the past thirty years, he has accumulated considerable reputation and fame in the area around Lianrong Island. In addition, as the cousin of the young master of the Chamber of Commerce, he has attracted the attention of most cultivators in Zhenhai City.

Of course, the focus of the monks in Zhenhai City is somewhat different from that of the monks on Lianrong Island.

The people on Lianrong Island are concerned about whether their lives will be more stable and their trade routes will be smoother with such a Yuanying master protecting them.

What the monks in Zhenhai City are concerned about is the value and prospects of the "fund" on the "Lianrong" Island, and whether it is worth long-term investment?

Also, the Chamber of Commerce recently released news that a number of new industries will be expanded on Lianrong Island in the near future, with the intention of turning it into an island city with a trading market.

There were even some high-ranking monks who knew the inside story and knew that the Six Sects Alliance would be held on Lianrong Island.

Such an important alliance location can bring great business opportunities.

After all, except for the Wanbao Sect, the disciples from the six sects who came to attend the meeting, excluding the core successors, including ordinary disciples and followers, numbered at least hundreds from each sect.

The arrival of these demon disciples can itself bring considerable benefits to Lianrong Island.

For example, although all food and lodging are borne by Wanbao Sect, if a disciple of the Demon Sect takes a fancy to some magic weapon, talisman, formation plate, puppet or other cultivation materials in the market and wants to buy them, he has to pay for it with spirit stones himself.

Even if we use this alliance as an opportunity to build up a good reputation, in the future when the cultivators from the other five sects come to Yuanzhou, they will choose to visit Lianrong Island and spend some money.

This has also led to a large number of monks who are optimistic about the island's prospects increasing their investments in recent days.

Before, on the merchant ship, even Jinrong advised Han Mo that investing in Lianrong Island was a sure-win business.

However, as someone who has been exposed to "funds and stock markets" before, Han Mo firmly believes that there is no "guaranteed profit" business in the world, and he does not want to be treated as a "leek" by others.

Besides, he didn't come to Linyuan Province to invest and earn spirit stones, so he flatly declined the "goodwill" of the financial institution.

But he still kept a watchful eye.

According to Finance, the Chamber of Commerce had only recently released the news of increasing industries and investments on Lianrong Island, and at the same time, it also let many people know that this place was the site for the Six Sects Alliance.

Logically speaking, such information should be kept absolutely confidential.

Although for the people of Linyuanzhou, the Wanbao Sect behind the Chamber of Commerce is one of the six sects of the Great Zhou Demonic Path, which has long been an unspoken secret among everyone.

However, no one has brought the Demon Sect's alliance to the table so blatantly.

Therefore, Han Mo was somewhat suspicious whether this was news deliberately released by the Chamber of Commerce to stimulate investment so as to "reap the profits" later.

After all, he had learned from Jinrong that the business alliance used all means to do business, and that they had a very modern way of thinking.

Of course, he was just a little skeptical at first, until... when he brought Lei Mu, concealing his aura and cultivation, and stepped onto Lianrong Island, he soon sensed a strong fluctuation of magic power.

Following the fluctuations of magic power, Han Mo and Lei Mu quickly moved towards the only island city on the island - Lianrong City.

Soon, he arrived outside Lianrong City.

At the east gate of the city, Han Mo looked at the sky above the east gate and saw two forces flying swords facing each other, and frowned slightly.

Being able to fly with swords shows that both parties are cultivators at least at the foundation-building stage.

The four leading cultivators who were fighting in the melee were not flying swords, but were riding on lights. They were obviously four Jindan Zhenren.

The two people near the city gate were wearing dark blue brocade robes with a large "Lotus" character embroidered on them. They looked like the guardian elixir of Lianrong City.

One of them who had a higher level of cultivation, after repelling the enemy with one palm, immediately said in a stern voice:
"How dare you, don't you know that this is a business owned by the Merchant Alliance? How dare you cause trouble here!"

However, what responded to him was the cold snorts from the other two Jindan Zhenren:

"Humph, the evil thief, everyone has the right to kill him."

"Everyone, that group of evil thieves held an alliance here. It is said that the natural demon is also among them. Let's rush in and kill them all!"

As soon as the two leading Jindan monks finished speaking, a group of foundation-building monks behind them immediately responded:

"Yes, kill the devil, eliminate evil and promote good, and enforce justice!"

"Yes, I have a great grudge against the Blood Killing Palace. If I can kill a demon from the Blood Killing Palace today, it will be worth my long journey to Linyuan Prefecture..."

Judging from the tone, it seems that this group of cultivators are not from Linyuan State, but outsiders.

It's normal to think about it. In the territory of the Chamber of Commerce, any cultivator from Linyuan State who has some brains would not dare to cause trouble and become an enemy of the real ruler of Linyuan State.

But if it is a foreign cultivator, it is hard to say.

After all, no matter how long the Chamber of Commerce’s arms are, it cannot control the monks in other states.

only……

You outside monks, why don't you come and cause trouble at any other time? Why do you choose to do so at this critical juncture of the Six Sects Alliance?

And it seems that this group of people know about the natural demon child. Isn't this a bit strange?

Just as Han Mo was thinking this, a few voices suddenly rang out not far from him:
"Damn it! At this critical moment, a group of outsiders actually came to Lianrong Island to cause trouble. It's really unlucky!"

"I heard that this group of people came to eradicate the evil ways..."

"What the hell is the devil? We all know the Wanbao Tower behind the Merchant Alliance. As long as they can help us make money, who cares whether it's the righteous way or the devil's way.

These outsiders are just meddling in other people's business."

"That's right. I just invested in a winery here, right next to the East City Gate. If these two sides fight and accidentally affect my winery, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, I have also invested in a clothing store here. I hope it won't be affected."

"Don't worry too much. I think these two are only at the Jindan level. With their strength, they dare to come to Lianrong Island to cause trouble. It's a bit overestimating their own abilities."

"Well, I hope so!"
