Everyone could understand Jiang Ming’s thoughts.

Protector Li was quite old. Therefore, he naturally could see through Jiang Ming’s inner thoughts. He immediately smiled and said, “Master Ning, there is no need to worry so much. Our purpose for coming here this time is very simple. We hope that you can join us. As long as you can make a great contribution, you will be treated with great courtesy when you come to the Yin Yang Empire in the future!”

He certainly had a way with words!

Jiang Ming’s lips twitched. Not only was Protector Li’s cultivation base high and his combat strength impressive, but he was also an expert at persuasion.

It had to be said that Protector Li had a silver tongue. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be convinced. However, Jiang Ming was not an ordinary person. He just kept smiling and did not give Protector Li a clear reply.

Protector Li frowned. He had thought that no matter how powerful Ning Caichen was, he was still a young man and would be easily persuaded. However, now it seemed that this was not the case. Ning Caichen seemed to be as shrewd as a fox.

“If I want to deal with a fox like him, I can’t just make some grandiose statements. I have to give him something substantial.”

Protector Li’s mind was racing like crazy. He clapped his hands and said, “Master Ning, how much do you know about the antique industry?”

“Antique industry?”

Jiang Ming was stunned. This was the world of immortal cultivation. People lived for hundreds of years here. Why would anyone be bothered with antiques?

“Master Ning, I’m not talking about regular antiques. In the vast lands outside the Feather Kingdom, there are many hidden places, forbidden lands, and countless ancient grotto-heavens and blessed lands. Among them, there are many supreme treasures and so on. These things are collectively called antiques, and naturally, many cultivators and factions want to obtain these antiques. As time pa.s.sed, the antique industry naturally formed.”

Protector Li felt strange when he saw that Jiang Ming knew nothing about the antique industry. Wasn’t this person from a holy land? Why didn’t he know anything?

However, now that he had a favor to ask of him, he naturally could not say much. He could only continue, “The Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land and a few other factions have secretly supported the imperial family of the Yin Yang Empire to form an auction house called the Sky Harmony Auction House. Right now, we lack talented cultivators. In my opinion, you’re incredibly talented and are suitable to be the representative of our auction house in the Feather Kingdom!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

This could be a profitable business!

He immediately nodded and asked curiously, “I wonder what the specific role is?”

“It’s very simple. The Sky Harmony Auction House wants to establish a branch in the Feather Kingdom. We originally planned to arrange for our own people to manage it. However, we were unable to find a suitable leader… Originally, we wanted to find the person from the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven. However, now that the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven and the royal family of the Feather Kingdom are in constant conflict, we naturally need to find a new representative. And the most suitable person right now is undoubtedly you, Master Ning! Only someone as highly talented as you can suppress all enemies, intimidate everyone in the Feather Kingdom, and ensure the growth of the Sky Harmony Auction House in the Feather Kingdom!”

No one could resist such flattery.

Jiang Ming also looked as if he had been blown away, which made Protector Li smile mockingly.

After all, he was still a young man. It was easy to lure him into a trap!

Little did he know that Jiang Ming was also sneering in his heart.

He was trying to use this thing to trap him? What a joke!

However, Jiang Ming did not intend to decline. After all, the antique industry was very profitable. In addition, if the Flowerfruit Sect wanted to establish a force and lay an incomparably solid foundation in the Feather Kingdom, they would need some other streams of income. Of course, the key to this was to acc.u.mulate connections.

“The three great grotto-heavens, six blessed lands, and other big factions have connections and backers outside of the Feather Kingdom. As for the Flowerfruit Sect, we naturally can’t fight alone. It’s normal for us to need some external help.”

When Jiang Ming thought of this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He asked again, “Protector Li, may I ask how the Flowerfruit Sect will cooperate with your operation?”

Seeing that Jiang Ming had finally fallen into his trap, Protector Li was even more delighted. He immediately said, “It’s very simple. As long as you can do your best to help us encircle and annihilate the Ancient Yin Yang Sect’s exploration team that came in this time, it’s enough!”

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. “Is it that simple? I’m more curious as to why you’re targeting the exploration team of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect this time. Why would the entire Ancient Yin Yang Sect send an exploration team for such a trivial matter anyway?”

“It is indeed a trivial matter. However, we are exploring the General’s Tomb this time. It is the burial place of a great general of Northern Yan’s Murong family a thousand years ago. There must be many mysteries and treasures hidden within. The Sky Harmony Auction House naturally needs these. Therefore, we must not let the people of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect interfere. Otherwise, our profits will shrink by a lot…”

“I have a mother question. How strong is the exploration team from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect this time?”

Jiang Ming could not be bothered to waste any more time and immediately asked another question. Protector Li immediately replied, “Three Soul Formation Realm cultivators led the team. They are all at the early stage of the Soul Formation Realm. There are five or six half-step Soul Formation Realm cultivators, dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators across all the levels, and as many as a hundred Golden Core Realm cultivators…”

Jiang Ming could not help but gasp.

This was probably not a joke!

Such a lineup was definitely not weak in any faction!

They even had the capital to crush and destroy the Flowerfruit Sect!

This team alone was definitely at the level of the three grotto-heavens in the Feather Kingdom!

“Any exploration team from an ancient sect is comparable to the three grotto-heavens… Looks like I underestimated these holy lands and ancient sects.”

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly. He had always felt that no matter how powerful such factions were, there was a limit to their strength. However, now, it seemed that the strength of these factions was far beyond their imagination.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He asked again, “Then what do you plan to do?”

“My plan?”

Protector Li looked confused, making Jiang Ming want to smack his head.

“What I mean is that you’re the only Soul Formation Realm cultivator here from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land. Even if you include our sect leader, there are only two of you. Besides, there are quite a number of forces from the Yin Yang Empire that have entered this time. How can you guarantee that they will not stand on the side of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect? Also, do you want to make sure that they won’t expose your actions?”
