"Master, does the Azurecloud Sect have any secret realms?" Zhang Yang asked, "Can I have the permission to open one?"

In his view, with the Azurecloud Sect's five-thousand-year history, how could it not have secret realms?

The key issue was whether he could open one.

Qingyunzi looked at Zhang Yang curiously and asked, "What do you want a secret realm for? Cultivation? You shouldn't need it at the moment!"

Zhang Yang shook his head, "Not for cultivation. I want to release the news of opening a secret realm to attract the attention of the world."

Qingyunzi frowned but said nothing.

"It doesn't have to be a very powerful secret realm, just enough for Foundation Establishment exploration. If it could allow Golden Core exploration, that would be even better," Zhang Yang quickly added.

Qingyunzi visibly relaxed, "If it's just for Foundation Establishment and Golden Core use, then there's no problem."

He gave a peculiar smile, "Just wait, a secret realm will appear soon."

Zhang Yang was a bit puzzled. What did he mean by a secret realm would appear soon?

But he had already received confirmation and didn't dwell on it.

Afterward, Qingyunzi and the others left one by one.

"Senior Brother, our Azurecloud's secret realm..." Lingyunzi looked at Qingyunzi with a strange expression.

Qingyunzi grinned, "Isn't it just a Golden Core secret realm? I'll put in some effort and create one. It's a small issue, really, it won't take long. With a million Spirit Stones, I can finally breathe easy. Since this brat got me a million Spirit Stones, I must fulfill his wish and create a secret realm for him."

Lingyunzi and the others were speechless.

They had wondered why Qingyunzi agreed so readily. Where did the secret realm come from?

But Qingyunzi actually planned to create a secret realm out of thin air... Wasn't that a bit too much?

"Senior Brother, what level have you reached?" Lingyunzi asked curiously.

Qingyunzi gave them a meaningful look, "You all should strive harder!"

After saying that, he disappeared instantly.

The others exchanged glances and then each went to their own secluded cultivation.

"Senior Brother, what are you up to?" Situ Mingyue looked at Zhang Yang with some confusion, not knowing why he had asked her to stay.

Zhang Yang asked strangely, "It seems you've forgotten why you came to Azurecloud in the first place, right?"

Situ Mingyue was momentarily stunned but quickly realized.

When she first came to Azurecloud, it was for business cooperation.

But after joining the Azurecloud Sect, the matter was never mentioned again, and she thought it was over!

"You've earned so much already, and you still want to sell things?" Situ Mingyue looked at Zhang Yang in confusion.

Zhang Yang looked at Situ Mingyue with some annoyance and said, "As the eldest daughter of a commercial family, your performance is a bit disappointing. Although the Azurecloud Sect now has many Spirit Stones, they will eventually be spent. We need to use the current Spirit Stones to invest and create more wealth.

We've already negotiated with the Cloudmount Empire to establish a guild within their territory. Plus, we can produce our own alchemical pills, talismans, and magical treasures. Isn't this the best trade route?

Another situation is that even a sect cannot lack intelligence on the world.

Therefore, establishing a guild for the Azurecloud Sect is imperative."

He was dissatisfied with the Azurecloud Sect's past performance. Up to now, the Azurecloud Sect was still in the dark about many worldly matters.

If there were a major change in the world and the Azurecloud Sect had no reaction, no matter how powerful Qingyunzi was, what would it matter in the face of great events?

Situ Mingyue looked at Zhang Yang in shock, "Senior Brother, you're thinking too far ahead!"

"Without foresight, there will be immediate worries!" Zhang Yang said seriously, "Master and the others will leave sooner or later. This Azurecloud Sect will be ours in the future... As of now, only you and I are in the Golden Core Realm. The other disciples haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment. More troubling is that many of them have issues.

So, the responsibility of the Azurecloud Sect rests on our shoulders.

Junior Sister, shouldn't you help me?

Or are you just treating the Azurecloud Sect as a place to hang out, planning to return home when the time comes?

If that's the case, I would be very disappointed."

Situ Mingyue stared at Zhang Yang for a long time before she finally smiled wryly and said, "Sometimes, I find you really resemble my father."

"Ah, I resemble your father that much?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.

Situ Mingyue nodded, then realized something was off and glared at Zhang Yang, "I meant your demeanor... Anyway, you just want me to help you, but you have to give me some benefits. I can't help you for free."

"What benefits do you want?" Zhang Yang asked Situ Mingyue.

"I haven't thought of it yet, but you have to promise to help me with a few things. I'll let you know when I think of them," Situ Mingyue said.

Zhang Yang waved his hand, "No problem, I promise you."

As the eldest daughter of a commercial family, Situ Mingyue was the most suitable to organize a guild.

Another possibility was establishing connections with the Yunteng Trading Union, which would expand the guild's trade routes in the future.

Situ Mingyue smiled with satisfaction and said, "What should we name the guild? How about Mingyue Guild?"

"The Azurecloud's guild, named after you?" Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Then Azurecloud Guild?" Situ Mingyue retorted, "Or, take one character from each, and call it Qingming Guild."

Zhang Yang was speechless. Why did he feel like this guild was doomed before it even started?

"Alright, alright, since you're organizing it, you should indeed have naming rights. Let's call it Bluemoon Guild. Are you satisfied now?"

Situ Mingyue thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Bluemoon Guild works. Will I be in charge of it in the future?"

"You'll be in charge, but I have oversight. Also, when necessary, you have to listen to my development suggestions," Zhang Yang said.

Situ Mingyue proudly said, "Senior Brother, I come from a commercial family. While my cultivation may not match yours, you shouldn't meddle in business. Don't worry, I promise to earn a lot of Spirit Stones and various resources for our Azurecloud."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang questioned, "Are you really that proficient in business? How many years has your Situ family been in business?"

"The Situ family has a two-hundred-year history, which speaks for itself."

"Two hundred years?" Zhang Yang pursed his lips, "What if I told you I have two thousand years of business history? Would you believe it? In business, I'll teach you in the future. For now, go back and draft a business plan to show me your capabilities."

The art of business had long been thoroughly studied by a certain people, and there probably wouldn't be many new tricks in the future.

Situ Mingyue was skeptical. Could it be that the Azurecloud Sect had a history of business expertise?

She was a bit unconvinced and planned to see Zhang Yang's skills in the future.

Then, she went back and pulled Chunxiao to work on her business plan.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang, holding a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, went into seclusion once more.

With his own villa now, he no longer needed to go to Brushstroke Peak.

In the cultivation room, a hundred thousand Spirit Stones were spread on the ground again, and Zhang Yang sat in the room, once again absorbing Spiritual Qi with fervor.
