Chapter 3567: Unremarkable
ting on the sofa in the living room. Across from him sat Tang, his grandfather, who was in a wheelchair."Mingde, your brother has been telling me recently that he wants to come back to the headquarte...In recent years, the Ling family has set up auction houses in all 48 regions of Nanhua, and in many regions they have even opened more than one.
Therefore, within the Southern Wilderness region, the Ling Auction House's development has reached its peak, with no further room for expansion.
However, if the family business wants to continue expanding and climbing to new heights, the auction house must keep operating!
The market in the Southern Wilderness is already saturated, so we need to find a way to open auction houses in the other four wildernesses!
However, while it sounds easy to say, doing it is incredibly difficult, almost impossible.
The Primordial Realm is so vast that communication and connection between different Wastelands are extremely rare.
Travel between different areas within the Nanhuang, let alone between the regions of the vast barren lands, is incredibly difficult due to the distances and power struggles.
But within the Southern Wasteland, the Ling Auction House, backed by the powerful Ling Family, enjoys respect from various factions in every region. This allows the auction house to flourish and gain the trust of numerous cultivators, becoming one of the hallmarks of the Southern Wasteland.
In the Nanhuang region, when one mentions an auction house, the vast majority of cultivators would immediately think of the Ling Auction House.
Even so, there's still little hope of establishing branches in the other four Wastelands. The name "Ling Family" carries weight in Zhong荒, Dong荒, and Bei荒... but it simply doesn't hold the same influence in Nan荒.
Therefore, Ling Bu Fan had determined a policy long ago.
To expand business to the four desolate lands, one must use all means to connect with major forces within those lands and develop a partnership.
This is the only way.
However, the idea is good, but I don't know how to make friends with the other four major forces in the wilderness.
Especially, the Southern Wasteland ranks last in comprehensive strength among the Five Desolates.
The Ling family was a renowned ancient clan within the Southern Wasteland, but in the other four Wastelands, those major powers might not look down upon the Ling family.
In this situation, I'm at a loss.
Even today, Ling Jinshan has actually met a member of the Northern Desolation Immortal King's family and brought him back to the Ling Family!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Ling Bu Fan was still lying in bed, being accompanied by two young maids to read. Upon hearing the news, he immediately jumped up and ran downstairs.
However, seeing Fang Yu in front of him, he was still a little surprised.
He originally thought that members of the Xianwang family should be handsome and imposing, while women should have an ethereal temperament and extraordinary beauty.
This Mr. Dao Yu, with his dark complexion, ordinary features, and plain attire, was truly unassuming.
On the street, it's hard to attract any attention.
But it was the woman beside him, veiled and beautiful...
But, one should not judge by appearances.
This is a truth that Ling Bufan knew very early on.
He was well aware of the art of feigning weakness to deceive others, having encountered many books on this subject in his past.
The more low-key an existence, the more cautiously it should be treated!
Fang Yu sat back on the sofa, looking at the head of the Ling family in front of him.
He looks very young, but his eyes occasionally flash with shrewdness, indicating he's a skilled businessman.
After Ling Bu Fan sat down, he saw the jade pot on the table and smiled: "I hear that Daoist Master came from the Northern Wilderness. You probably haven't tasted our Southern Wilderness specialty, blood flower juice, have you"
In his words, he got up again and picked up the jade pot, ready to pour a cup for Fang Yu himself.
As soon as he picked up the jade pot, he realized it was empty.
"I've finished drinking." Fang Yu smiled faintly.
As soon as these words were uttered, Ling Bu Fan was stunned, and Ling Jinshan, who stood behind him, changed his expression.
And just as she had retreated to a short distance away, the maid there 'plopped' down and knelt.
"Master, yes, it was this servant who forgot to remind you..." The maidservant said with tears in her voice.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just accelerating the flow of Qi within my meridians. I just feel very comfortable after drinking so much; it has no side effects on me." Fang Yu said.
"It's good that you're okay." Ling BuFan saw that Fang Yu's face didn't show any abnormalities, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there any more of this blood flower juice I'd like another pot," Fang Yu asked.
“Um... Master Dao, although this blood lotus juice is precious, I actually have quite a lot here,” Ling Bu Fan said. “But, you really shouldn't drink too much of it...”
"It doesn't really matter to me," Fang Yu said.
The effect of this blood-red flower juice is like that of wine to mortals.
Drinking a lot can make you drunk, but there are also people with a good tolerance for alcohol.
As for Yu, the effect of the blood-red flower juice was not only delicious, but also seemed to accelerate the flow of true qi in his meridians. This caused the little golden figure in his dantian to react, and the golden light on his body became even more brilliant.
Therefore, he wanted to continue drinking more and see what kind of results it would produce.
"...Okay, I'll go get another pot."
Seeing Fang Yu’s persistence, Ling Bu Fan stopped persuading him and waved his hand at the maidservant.
The maid wiped away her tears, glanced at Fang Yu with wide eyes, and then turned and walked away.
Now that the head of the household is present, she naturally wouldn't be responsible.
"I heard from Jianshan that Mr. Dao Yu comes from a family of immortal kings in the Northern Wilderness," Ling Bu Fan said with a slight smile after sitting down.
"Yes," Fang Yu said, "However, about my origins, I don't want to talk much. Because before I left home, my family told me to keep a low profile."
"Well, Mr. Dao seems very down-to-earth." Ling Bufan smiled and asked again, "I wonder what brings you to Dayuan Prefecture, sir If the Ling family can be of any help, we will certainly do our best."
Ling Bufan's eagerness was something Fang Yu naturally could see.
If Ruoling helped him, he would naturally help Ruoling in return.
This is a normal cooperative relationship.
"Actually, I'm here to inquire about some information." Fang Yu thought for a moment before saying.
“Oh Then you’ve come to the right place, Dao Master. As you know, our family runs an auction house, and in this Southern Wilderness… no one has more information than we do!” Ling Bufan immediately perked up and said, “I can guarantee that!”
"Mr. Dao, just say what kind of information you want to know."
"Then I'll be straight with you," Fang Yu nodded. "How much do you know about the Heavenly Ring Temple"
Lingbufan originally had a smile on his face.
But once Fang Yu said this, his smile stiffened, and then disappeared altogether.
