Azurecloud Sect, after Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue left, the others turned to Qingyunzi.

"Senior Brother, we'll give you our spirit stones this time as well. With so many spirit stones, it should be enough for a while," Lingyunzi said seriously.

"No need!" Qingyunzi waved his hand. "We already had quite a few spirit stones before, and now with another million, the problem isn't that big anymore. Besides, didn't that brat Zhang Yang say this was just the first day of opening? There will be more to come."

Lingyunzi and the others thought about it and realized it was true, so they didn't insist further.

"Senior Brother, shall we go now?" Danchenzi asked.

Qingyunzi nodded and led them to Azurecloud Peak, entering another space with them.

He took out a million spirit stones and, using his powerful cultivation, directly crushed them.

The violent spiritual qi instantly filled the space.

Qingyunzi manipulated the Laws of Heaven and Earth, beginning to refine the violent spiritual qi. Gradually, a pattern emerged before them.

This pattern, under the influence of the violent spiritual qi of heaven and earth, rapidly expanded.

Only then did they realize it was a map surrounding the Azurecloud Sect.

At this moment, outside the Azurecloud Sect, scale-like white clouds appeared in the sky, stretching into the distance.

Unfortunately, this was in the night sky, and very few people saw this scene.

Even if they did, they would think it was just the natural rise and fall of clouds and wouldn't pay it any mind.

When Qingyunzi finished refining the spiritual qi from the million spirit stones, the scale-like white clouds had already enveloped an area of a thousand miles around the Azurecloud Sect.

This area included parts of the territories of the Cloudmount Empire and the Yunteng Empire.

The Qing Prefecture, which the Cloudmount Empire had previously planned to compensate the Azurecloud Sect with, was clearly within this range.

"Restored by ten percent!" Qingyunzi looked at the map in front of him and said lightly, "That brat Zhang Yang wanted the Qing Prefecture last time... What's so good about the Qing Prefecture?"

Hualingzi chuckled, "He doesn't know the situation. If he knew it was all part of our Azurecloud Sect's territory, he'd probably go crazy. By the way, Senior Brother, how long do we have to keep this from him?"

"Until he has enough ability, keep it from him!" Qingyunzi sighed. "Our Azurecloud is fortunate to have Zhang Yang; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome. I took on three disciples, and it was the last one who gave me hope... Things happen in threes, as they say, there's a reason in the heavens and earth."

Bilingzi reminded, "Senior Brother, you have four disciples now! We've all seen Mingyue's actions recently; she's actually quite good!"

Qingyunzi laughed and nodded, "Oh right, there's also Mingyue!"

Although he agreed to take Situ Mingyue as a disciple, he had only guided her once and merely taught her some techniques.

As for the rest, they hadn't paid much attention.

On one hand, their previous experiences had been painful, making them hesitant to trust easily. Especially since Situ Mingyue was from the Yunteng Trading Union, trusting her was even harder.

On the other hand, they already had Zhang Yang, so they naturally didn't pay as much attention to Situ Mingyue.

Qingyunzi pondered for a moment and said, "In a few days, summon Mingyue and give her a few treasures!"

This signified their formal acceptance of Situ Mingyue.

Afterward, they left the space and returned to Azurecloud Peak.

"You are only at the Divine Soul Stage, so practice more when you have nothing to do," Qingyunzi glanced at them. "That brat Zhang Yang has already brought Azurecloud back to the surface, which will naturally involve many causes and effects. By then, he'll definitely need your help.

You all at the Divine Soul Stage are still not enough, so improving your cultivation is the most important thing."

Lingyunzi and the others were speechless.

Meanwhile, after Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue delivered money to Qin Yushu, they briefly discussed the matters of the Bluemoon Trading Guild for the next day before taking their leave.

"Senior Brother, my father wants to meet you. Do you have time?"

After finishing their business, Situ Mingyue remembered her father's matter.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Even if I don't have time, I must make time to meet Uncle Situ."

After all, he had taken the man's daughter up the mountain and received the crucial early-stage million spirit stones. Plus, now that two of the core members of the Bluemoon Trading Guild were from the Situ family, he definitely had to meet him.

Situ Haonan, after buying a large pile of things from the Bluemoon Trading Guild, returned to Courtyard Nine at the Azurecloud Guesthouse and began studying various items.

Two Nascent Soul guest elders sensed the situation and said with a bitter smile, "Patriarch, we're afraid we can't do it. First, this membership card was crafted by a master refiner, and most importantly, it contains rune patterns from a master of talismans. The cost of counterfeiting it would be too high. If you want to replicate it, the price of hiring a master refiner and a master of talismans would be no small matter."

Situ Haonan was quite troubled; the fees for such master-level figures were exorbitant.

However, if he couldn't create such items, he could imagine that once the Bluemoon Trading Guild began to expand, the Yunteng Trading Union would inevitably be impacted, causing its business to plummet.

Lacking technology was truly a frustrating issue!

What frustrated Situ Haonan even more was that the phonographs and other items created by the collaboration of the master refiner and master of talismans... Wouldn't these things have a significant impact on the Yunteng Trading Union?

They might not seem useful now, but what about in the future?

And what exactly were those mysterious items in the secret area?

How would their Yunteng Trading Union face the competition?

While Situ Haonan was deeply troubled, Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue walked in.

Seeing Zhang Yang, Situ Haonan quickly said, "You're just in time; I have something to discuss with you."

"Uncle Situ, what do you want to discuss?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"The membership cards, can you sell me some?" Situ Haonan got straight to the point. "We want to order membership cards from you, exclusive to the Yunteng Trading Union. How much would it cost?"

Zhang Yang instantly understood Situ Haonan's intention.

He wanted to replicate the membership model of the Bluemoon Trading Guild?

The membership card model wasn't difficult to crack; the key was in counterfeiting the membership cards. The anti-counterfeiting technology was the most important.

However, the Azurecloud Trading Guild hadn't put much effort into counterfeiting the membership cards, as it was just some random rune patterns set by Hualingzi.

Because the biggest loss from the membership card was the ten percent discount.

But most of the items were crafted by the Azurecloud Sect, which was already highly profitable. Even with a ten percent discount, they were still making a huge profit, so Zhang Yang hadn't focused on anti-counterfeiting technology.

Judging by Situ Haonan's intentions, he wanted to sell membership cards on a large scale?

He chuckled, "Uncle Situ, you're my junior sister's father, and we're all family, so I'll be honest with you. Those who imitate me will thrive, but those who resemble me will perish! If you compete with me on membership cards, the Yunteng Trading Union will eventually go under.

Of course, I can also make membership cards for you, as many as you want.

But if you end up losing out, don't blame me."

He was still selling membership cards, and next, he planned to offer discounts for recharges!

At that time, he would make another big profit.

The concept of financial derivatives was something Situ Haonan probably hadn't even heard of, yet he dared to compete with him on membership cards?
