Chapter 308 Ling Yuling’s “Wife”
Ye Changsheng and Zi Ling first captured the three Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the headquarters of the four major business alliances, and then killed one of the mid-stage cultivators.
Afterwards , he asked the remaining people to summon the remaining Nascent Souls stationed in various places, as well as the few priests in secret, and get rid of them all at once.
Of course, there were some accidents during this process. One or two Yuanyings from the Chamber of Commerce discovered something wrong through various channels and escaped.
After Ye Changsheng learned the news, he immediately took action to eliminate it.
It was precisely because of this that he stayed at the four major business alliances for a longer time.
In the end, when everything was resolved, there were only seven people left out of the total sixteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the four major business alliances, and all of them were Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage.
Among the remaining nine people, three in the middle stage of Nascent Soul were wiped out by Ye Changsheng without any explanation, and two Nascent Souls were killed by him in order to establish his authority.
Two others were caught and killed by Ye Changsheng while they were escaping. Among the last two, one refused to surrender and was killed by him.
There was another person who was one of the four people who initially surrendered to Ye Changsheng. Although this person handed over his soul to Ye Changsheng for control, he was actually just pretending to submit. He secretly informed the other Nascent Souls to escape.
The two Nascent Souls who heard the news and fled were his doing, and naturally, he died in the end.
As a result, there were only seven Yuanying members left in the Merchant Alliance.
However, Ye Changsheng also knew that these seven people would eventually die.
If they are lucky, they may be able to live until the end of their lifespan, but if they are unlucky, after dozens or hundreds of years, when Miaoyin Sect completely integrates the four major business alliances and develops its own strength, they will lose the value of living.
Of course, in addition to these Nascent Souls, nearly a hundred Jindan cultivators from the top of the four major business alliances were also found out one by one by Ye Changsheng, and either subjected to soul restrictions or directly killed.
After this bloody purge, the four major business alliances were severely damaged, but the internal forces against Miaoyin Sect almost disappeared.
Perhaps there are still some people hiding there who are unwilling to surrender, but as time goes on, they will most likely not be able to hide.
The Chamber of Commerce that had stood in the Chaos Star Sea for a long time was abolished and swallowed up by Ye Changsheng in a brutal manner.
However, Ye Changsheng has not yet announced the demise of the four major business alliances, but has merely taken control of their senior executives.
The signs of the four major business alliances are still there, and basically not many people outside know about the changes in the business alliances.
Even among the lower-level monks there, few are aware of the changes taking place at the top.
All we know is that many senior officials suddenly disappeared, and only some rumors are circulating that they are all dead.
The lower-level monks were completely unaware of this sudden change and continued to do business as usual. The operating structure of the entire Chamber of Commerce seemed to be completely unaffected.
All this was naturally caused by Ye Changsheng's arrangement. He did not want the four major business alliances to fall directly, as this would cause great chaos.
For someone like him who controls order, the last thing he wants to see is chaos.
He needs a smooth transition period, during which the Miaoyin Sect will gradually hollow out the Chamber of Commerce like a parasite sucking blood from it.
The past foundation of the Chamber of Commerce will slowly be transferred to the Miaoyin Sect until all its value disappears.
It is conceivable that one or two hundred years later, when Miaoyin Sect has trained a large number of its own disciples and gradually takes over the industries of the four major business alliances, the four major business alliances will no longer have a need to exist.
Of course, high-level combat power is also indispensable. After mastering the resources of the four major business alliances, Miaoyin Sect will surely be able to cultivate many Jindan cultivators.
By then, Miaoyin Sect will no longer be in the predicament it is today where only Zi Ling, Zhou Yuan and Wen Siyue are capable.
While controlling the senior executives of the four major business alliances, Ye Changsheng also acquired a large amount of wealth.
At the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, he directly received 40 million spirit stones.
This was the result of him not draining all of the cash flow in order not to disrupt the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce.
If he ignored the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, he could probably get a cash flow of 100 million or 200 million spirit stones from various parts of the Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, this was just the cash flow he received, which was the smallest part of his gains this time.
The most precious things are the various magic weapons, precious materials, top-level skills, demon pills, etc. obtained from the Chamber of Commerce headquarters and the Nascent Soul cultivators he killed.
These things are valued and collected by Ye Changsheng, and each one can be sold for at least 100,000 spirit stones.
For more precious ones, it is possible to sell them for millions of spirit stones.
It would be no problem to auction these things off for hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
Ye Changsheng's pockets, which had been emptied in Tiannan, were filled with spirit stones again. Forty million spirit stones was an astronomical figure for most people.
However, Ye Changsheng immediately spent 10 million spirit stones to copy ten Nascent Soul puppets and gave them to Zi Ling and her mother and daughter to guard the Miaoyin Sect.
This should be the limit of what the three of them can control with their spiritual consciousness.
"Now I have 30 million spirit stones left. With the things I have obtained this time, plus my previous collections, I can hold an auction in Chaos Star Sea and Tiannan respectively, which should bring me hundreds of millions of spirit stones."
"Then copy a dozen or twenty more Nascent Soul puppets and place them on the Tiannan Seven Spirit Island for protection. This way, the island will be impregnable!"
"The 60 million spirit stones I need to cultivate to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage can be easily covered by the harvest this time!"
“Next, I’ll go to Dajin, and then prepare to advance to the God Transformation stage!” Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
After finishing the business alliance's business affairs, he and Zi Ling returned to Tianxing City.
The originally peaceful and stable Miaoyin Sect suddenly had a lot of things to do.
After all, it is not an easy task to swallow up the four major business alliances that are dozens or hundreds of times larger than Miaoyinmen.
It is difficult for a snake to swallow an elephant, and it is even more difficult to digest it after swallowing it.
In the next one or two hundred years, the Miaoyin Sect will probably be very busy.
Originally, these complicated matters should have been handled by Zhou Yuan.
But now her life span is running out, and in order to break through the Nascent Soul stage, she cannot be distracted at all, and Zi Ling is also unwilling to waste her practice time on these things.
As a result, all power of Miaoyin Sect was transferred to Wen Siyue.
Of course, Wen Siyue cannot handle so many things alone. She must promote some assistants and gradually enter the core power layer of Miaoyin Sect.
Not long after, Ye Changsheng received news that Wen Siyue had accepted several disciples and began to train them to help manage the various affairs of Miaoyin Sect.
What surprised him was that he heard a familiar name among these disciples.
Mei Ning!
This woman who possessed the body of Jade Phoenix Marrow was originally just a female cultivator from a small sect in Chaos Star Sea.
But during the war, her sect was destroyed, so she fled to Tianxing City, seeking a safe place to practice.
This female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage had an encounter with Wen Siyue a long time ago. Later, because of Wen Siyue, she joined the Miaoyin Sect and was now accepted as a disciple by Wen Siyue.
After learning the news about Mei Ning, Ye Changsheng was just surprised for a moment and then ignored it.
Since this girl has joined the Miaoyin Sect and has been noticed by Wen Siyue and accepted as a disciple, it can be considered that she has changed her fate.
There will most likely be no problem in becoming a Jindan cultivator in the future, and there might even be a slight possibility of becoming a Yuanying cultivator.
After Ye Changsheng returned to Tianxing City, Miaoyin Sect spread the news that an auction would be held in ten years.
At the same time, Ye Changsheng met Ling Yulin again.
This woman seems to have already become a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Brother Ye, congratulations. I didn't expect you to become a great monk so quickly!"
When she arrived at Miaoyin Gate and saw Ye Changsheng's cultivation level, Ling Yuling's mouth opened into an "o" shape, and her pretty face, as delicate as jade, was full of shock and disbelief.
After a while, he came to his senses and congratulated Ye Changsheng with an extremely complicated expression.
At this moment, her inner surprise and shock were beyond words.
Her parents, as the most talented people in the Chaos Star Sea, had cultivation aptitude that was no less than that of the Palace Masters of the Star Palace who had become Divine Transformation cultivators in history. They were also regarded as people with the hope of advancing to Divine Transformation.
But it would take them about 500 years to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
And how old is Ye Changsheng now?
More than two hundred years old!
This is simply too shocking!
At this moment, Ling Yuling's mood was extremely complicated.
Her parents' original plan for her was to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage first. After becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would use various elixirs to quickly push their magic power to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. Then the two of them would consume their vital energy and use the initiation method to directly raise her to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
In this way, she should be able to catch up with Ye Changsheng in more than a hundred years.
After all, in the eyes of the Two Saints of Tianxing, no matter how extraordinary Ye Changsheng is, it will take him two or three hundred years to become a great cultivator.
They both had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, the couple has always felt that with their full training, Ling Yuling should be able to catch up with Ye Changsheng's cultivation level.
After catching up with them, let the two of them get married and practice dual cultivation. Through the method of dual cultivation, they can quickly enter the late Nascent Soul stage.
Just like they did back then.
In this way, Ye Changsheng will become a late-stage great cultivator with the help of the power of the Star Palace, and he will also have a greater sense of belonging to the Star Palace.
I will also value Ling Yuling more.
Xinggong's dual cultivation method is an extremely top-notch ancient secret technique, which can greatly increase the chances of a couple practicing dual cultivation to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
This is also the reason why the masters of the Star Palace throughout the ages are mostly one man and one woman.
As long as they find suitable partners for dual cultivation, it won’t be difficult for the two Star Palace Masters to break through to the late stage.
The Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars hope to use this method to increase Ling Yuling's weight in Ye Changsheng's heart.
After all, if they were to seriously pursue dual cultivation, there would be no secrets between the two of them.
They stay together almost every day, and gradually form a mutually dependent relationship in which no one can live without the other.
Over time, the feelings between the two will become deeper and deeper, and eventually they will become like a pair of lovebirds, unable to survive without the other half.
In the eyes of the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars, as long as Ye Changsheng and Ling Yuling practiced dual cultivation, over time, his feelings for those other women would naturally fade.
This was their open conspiracy, but now, with Ye Changsheng breaking through and becoming a great cultivator, this plan naturally came to naught.
"Didn't you also break through to the Nascent Soul stage? I would also like to congratulate Miss Ling on your great progress in cultivation!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"My little sister's improvement in cultivation is nothing. Brother Ye is the one who is truly shocking!" Ling Yuling said with a wry smile. Her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she stared at Ye Changsheng closely.
"I came here after hearing the news from Miaoyin Sect. As expected, Brother Ye has returned to Chaos Star Sea. I just didn't expect Brother Ye to give me such a big surprise!"
"Brother Ye, what are your plans next? Are you going to hold a ceremony for the great monks? Xinggong may be able to help Brother Ye in this regard!" Ling Yuling showed a bright smile on her face.
According to convention, when a Nascent Soul cultivator becomes a great cultivator, a ceremony is usually held to announce it to the world.
However, Ye Changsheng had already arranged a battle in Tiannan, so he had no intention of doing so in Chaos Star Sea.
So, he shook his head and said, "No need, there's no need to make such a big fuss for now!"
"Oh, then Brother Ye, can you go to the Holy Mountain next? My parents want to see you!" Ling Yuling said in a soft voice, with a blush on her face.
"Holy mountain? No problem!" Ye Changsheng agreed readily.
With his current level of cultivation, he would not be afraid even if the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars wanted to attack him on the Holy Mountain.
Now, the world is so big that there are almost few places he cannot go!
"Let's go, we'll go now!" Ye Changsheng said directly, which made Ling Yuling stunned. Then, as if she had thought of something, her face turned red and she whispered, "Brother Ye, please follow me!"
On the highest level of the holy mountain, in front of a seemingly ordinary bluestone palace, Ye Changsheng and Ling Yuling landed.
"This is the place where our sect's founder practiced and it has been preserved to this day. It is the most important place in our palace and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter!" Ling Yuling said to Ye Changsheng meaningfully with her beautiful eyes on her pretty face.
"So, Miss Ling has already regarded me as her 'wife'?" Ye Changsheng asked with a teasing smile on his face.
Hearing this, Ling Yuling's face immediately turned red, her pretty face became extremely charming, and she revealed a captivating glow.
The word "wife" was originally used by men to describe their wives. Now that Ye Changsheng said it in a slightly teasing tone, it naturally had other meanings.
Ling Yuling was extremely intelligent, so how could she not understand the meaning behind these words? For a moment, she felt extremely shy.
But after a moment, she took a deep breath, her eyes moved, and a bright smile appeared on her white jade-like face. She said with a sweet breath, "I'm sure you can't hide my thoughts from Brother Ye. Brother Ye already knows it, so why ask more?"
