Eternal life begins with saving my clan

"So we have our first major clan," Su Yen read the report and looked at Elder Hua.

"Yes. With their clansmen, it's only a matter of time before the Spirit Comms spread throughout the city," she said.

"Is everything about the bank ready?" He asked.

"Yes, sect master. We're ready."

"When you break through to the Foundation Building realm?" He changed the topic and stared intently at her.

Elder Hua opened her mouth, but the words refused to come out. She was too busy with store management during that early time to cultivate.

Su Yen knew why and sighed. "Give the management to Huang Guo and focus on your cultivation. When you break through to the Foundation realm, you can resume your work."

"I will follow your instruction, sect master." She bowed and left. She knew she had disappointed Su Yen. She had been at the Peak of Qi Refinement stage 7 for quite a while without any traces of a breakthrough in sight. With this forceful break, she would catch up to her cultivation.

Just after she left, Biyu entered the courtyard and performed a military salute.

"Sect master, our men have successfully infiltrated the city," she reported.

"Is there anything I should know?" He asked.

"Sect master, there is a powerful organization in the city underworld. We tried to find out more about them, but people were too scared to talk about them."

"Don't bother asking about them. Send three of your men to join them. What are they called?"

"Death Shadow."

"Good, you're dismissed."

Left in the courtyard, he stood and looked at the horizon, contemplating for a moment. He realized the water of Baiyun city was deeper than they imagined.

Baiyun city was one of the 48 cities under the Zizhu Prefecture. The Zizhu Prefecture was one of the 18 prefectures under the 36th state of the empire.

Realizing how big the empire was, he sighed and shook his head. Finding their parent wouldn't be as easy as he thought.

He took a deep breath and practiced his sword skill together with his movement skill.

His sword moved swiftly without any flashy moves, cutting through the air with deadly sharpness. He was trying to grasp the second stage of the Sword Burial.

Every time he was about to grasp the second stage, it would elude him as if something was missing.

He had contemplated the move and even asked the system, but the system failed to respond.

As he was lost in his sword practice, the city was not calm. Inside the city lord's mansion, the city lord looked at his servant with a slight shock on his face.

"What do you mean the Xiao clansmen are rushing into their store?" He asked, his voice rising an octave.

"We don't know why, but we found that their clansmen are buying some strange ring," the man reported.

"Idiot!" He banged the table and stood in fury. "For those hermits to rush to buy something from that store. Something important is going on, and we're missing it." He shouted.

"Get out and find out what is going on in my city."

"Yes, master."

The man disappeared from the room with his top speed. Hardly did he see the city lord lose his temper, and anytime he did, blood would flow.

Inside the Crimson Jade Pavilion, the group of elders was having an impromptu meeting.

"Tell me what is going on?" The old woman commanded.

One of the elders brought out a small ring from his storage ring and presented it to their leader.

The old woman picked up the ordinary small ring and curiously looked at it before asking.

"What am I looking at?"

"That's what the store is selling?" the man responded.

Every elder in the hall was slightly surprised. Why would the Xiao clan buy some ordinary ring?

"If you think this is an ordinary ring, then you're all wrong." The man said seriously.

"Is this not an ordinary ring?" An elder asked.

"That ring is called Spirit Comms, and it's used to communicate, no matter the distance. Besides, there's another function on the ring," the elder said with a grave voice.

"This is different from the communicator talisman. You only need to know the unique number of your friend and family to communicate with them."

"Is that even possible?" Another shouted.

"Impossible or not, it is right in front of you. There are many functions to the ring; you just have to buy it to know."

For a couple of seconds, the hall was quiet; everyone was lost in thought.

"What do you all think?" The old woman asked.

"You all know what this means for our pavilion." She added.

"Leader, we should kill them and take the secret of making the ring. I don't believe they won't have the secret of its creation."

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten what happened to the Wang and other clans?" Another elder retorted.

"Then are you suggesting we do nothing?"

"That's not what I'm saying...."

"Shut up! We don't need spineless cowards right now."

"Can't we enter a cooperation with them?"

"Idiot! Where were you when we increased everything by eighty percent?"

The elders fought among themselves without reaching a conclusion. Their leader, the old woman, watched the elders with a slight frown on her face.

"Silence." She tapped the table, and a powerful pressure descended into the room.

Instantly, all the elders shut up, and a dreadful expression appeared on their faces.

"Send our men to infiltrate their store, capture their people, and find out the secret behind it. And if that doesn't work, we will cooperate with them." She commanded and left the room.

With the Xiao clans taking the lead, it caused a chain reaction. Those who had bought the Spirit Comms began to appear and spread the wonderful features of the Spirit Comms.

Under the must-have feature of the Spirit Comms, the threat and pressure of the city lord and other powerful clans became useless.

A rumor spread among the people saying the Spirit Comms were only limited, and it was first come, first served.

In just a day, all the Celestial Heavenly stores received a massive inflow of crowds. They were so many that they blocked the street and were increasing by the minute.
