    While Su Yu was in seclusion, many small urrences happened.


    First of all, Shen Wansan had sessfully controlled the small city called Danzhou City.


    He had firmly taken control of the small officials in the city. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not notice anything unusual.


    This was as expected. The central government had more important matters to attend to. They would not pay attention to such a small border ce unless it wanted to rebel.


    After gaining control of the Danzhou City, Shen Wansan also began to trade with the neighboring small cities. Gradually, the name of the Commerce Association began to spread widely in these small cities.


    It wasn’t that the Commerce Association hadn’t encountered any obstacles in its development. However, there were many capable people by Shen Wansan’s side. These obstacles were cleverly resolved by him.


    Anotherrger matter was the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Beastman Dynasty.


    Originally, after Zhou Yuan returned to the court, Zhou Xuanji followed his instructions and went to the treasury to pick out some resources aspensation.


    However, Zhou Xuanji did not expect that the envoy sent by the Beastman Dynasty would demand an exorbitant price and refused to make do with the resources that he had picked out.


    Good lord, Zhou Xuanji was almost angered to death on the spot. He was about to draw his sword and kill the other party.


    To be honest, Shi Kuang – who was acting as an envoy – was extremely afraid.


    Shi Kuang never expected that he would be sent to the enemy’s territory to negotiate about thepensation.


    Actually, Shi Kuang was extremely unwilling to handle this matter.


    However, the ruler of the Beastman Dynasty left Shi Kuang no choice. If he didn’t go, he would have to die to apany the dead beastman warriors who had perished.


    It was precisely because of this that Shi Kuang had no choice but to ept this difficult mission. Then, he rode the fastest small flying magical artifact in the Beastman Dynasty and rushed to the Great Zhou Dynasty.


    Fortunately, Zhou Xuanji only made some concessions after asking Zhou Yuan for instructions. This was also the most that the Great Zhou Dynasty could endure.


    If the Beastman Dynasty still did not agree, they would start a war.


    Faced with this situation, Shi Kuang hurriedly contacted the Beastman Dynasty. At this moment, Shi Kuang was on the Great Zhou Dynasty’s side.


    Of course he supported them. If a war really broke out, he would definitely be the first to be killed and sacrificed!


    In order to save his life, Shi Kuang could only express in themunication line that he had spent much effort and finally managed to fight for more benefits for the dynasty. However, if they asked for more, the other party might be driven to desperation.


    Therefore, Shi Kuang’s vague suggestion was to stop while they were ahead and return to the dynasty with these resources.


    In the end, the Beastman Dynasty agreed to the Great Zhou Dynasty’spensation n and chose not to start a war.


    This was the second slightly bigger thing that happened during Su Yu’s seclusion.


    Then, on the Myriad Commerce Association’s side, after Ji Ruoyan sent the two pill forms back to the n, the higher-ups directly rejected the 90:10 split n.


    The Ji n could be considered an ancient n faction in a Level 1 sea area. The number of Kings in the n had already exceeded an amount that could be counted with both hands. Moreover, in the n’s forbidden area, there were also ancestors who were about to reach the King Realm.


    How could they cooperate with an unknown little fellow in such a profit split method? Wouldn’t they be the butt of the joke if word got out?


    Instantly, the higher-ups’ evaluation regarding Ji Ruoyan began to plummet.


    Even as the current head of the Ji n, Ji Ruoyan’s father, Ji Haoyu, did not understand why his usually shrewd daughter would make such a decision.


    If Ji Ming’s secret message had not reached the hands of these old fellows, Ji Ruoyan would definitely have been removed from her position as the sessor.


    After reading the secret message sent by Ji Ming, these old fellows of the Ji n collectively fell silent.


    The other party was a Martial Grandmaster in his early twenties. His blood energy wasparable to a pure-blooded flood dragon of the same level. He was suspected to be the sessor of the Ancient King and carried a terrifying item that could threaten King Realm cultivators. His identity was mysterious and could not be investigated. It was rmended to befriend him. Remember not to offend him.


    Ji Ruoyan did not know the contents of Ji Ming secret message.


    “Elders, this is a secret message sent by Elder Ji Ming. There shouldn’t be any mistake. Then, we need to continue discussing the matter just now.”


    At this moment, Ji Haoyu was sitting on the main seat. He was overjoyed, but he did not show it.


    “Should we ask the other elders to continue investigating this matter?” As soon as Ji Haoyu finished speaking, the First Elder of the Ji n, who was at odds with him, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.


    “First Elder, are you contradicting Elder Ji Ming’s words? ording to Elder Ji Ming, that young man is suspected to be the sessor of the Ancient King. If this is true, we won’t be able to withstand the anger of a Titled Ancient King.”


    Ji Haoyu responded solemnly.


    “The n Leader is right. Even if this peerless genius isn’t supported by an Ancient King, he must be an existence close to the Ancient King. We can’t rashly investigate. It might arouse the other party’s displeasure. To our Ji n, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.”


    As soon as Ji Haoyu said this, someone from his faction immediately chimed in.


    First Elder Ji Jin, who was at odds with Ji Haoyu, did not know how to refute.


    Because of the word ‘Ancient King’, Ji Jin almost suffocated. Ji Jin was also secretly afraid. If the Ancient King really questioned them, a family like the Ji n that prioritized benefits above all else would definitely hand over their people to apologize.


    Therefore, in the face of Ji Haoyu’s question, Ji Jin could only slowly say, “n Leader, you’re being too serious. How could I dare to contradict Elder Ji Ming’s words? I was too suspicious. Please forgive me.”


    In the face of Ji Jin’s concession, the corners of Ji Haoyu’s mouth could not help but curl up slightly.


    Then, the higher-ups of the Ji n unanimously approved the profit split deal of the pill forms. No one objected.


    To the huge Ji n, the profit deal of this kind of low-rank medicinal pill could be exchanged for a close connection to a man suspected to be descendant of the Ancient King. It was simply iparably worth it!


    Only a fool would get into an argument with the other party because of such insignificant terms.


    It had to be said that the persona Su Yu had set for himself was very sessful.


    Arge faction like the Ji n would not be enemies with a prodigy like Su Yu for the meager profit from the beauty nourishing pill and the beauty pill.


    After all, in a Level 1 sea area, what was the use of having more resources? Before one could turn it into strength, it would be popr with others too. Anyone would want to take a bite out of such resources.


    Of course, all this was also because Su Yu had disyed his talent and strength, and his mysterious identity had been recognized by Ji Ming.


    Otherwise, with the Ji n’s foundation, it would be strange if they agreed to such a n.


    Although the refining process of this beauty pill and the beauty nourishing pill was ratherplicated, it was not a problem for the alchemists in the Ji n.


    Soon, in themerce association under the jurisdiction of the Ji n, appeared two types of medicinal pills that were quite popr with female cultivators. However, the price of those medicinal pills was also extremely high.


    Ordinary cultivators would probably not be willing to buy such a medicinal pill that was useless for cultivation.


    At this stage, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Ruoyan had also received a message from her father.


    After reading the message, Ji Ruoyan’s eyes could not help but sh with excitement.


    However, Su Yu did not y by the rules. After leaving the Myriad Commerce Associationst time, he did not appear for more than twenty days in a row. This made Ji Ruoyan so worried that she did not eat or drink.


    At this moment, Su Yu, who was on Ji Ruoyan’s mind, was already in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He was listening to Zhou Yi and the others’ reports.


    “Master, during the few days you were in seclusion, our forces have all entered the realm of a warrior on the path of martial arts under the tempering of the divine tower. We have condensed the internal power of martial arts in our bodies. In addition, the ck Iron Rank sea beasts and Skeleton l’s skeleton army have all stepped into the Bronze Rank.”


    “Also, Shen Wansan sent a message through the heavenly mystery array. Everything is going well. They have already controlled a small city and are steadily expanding.”


    “Also, before you went into seclusion, the ind that you asked us to pay attention to didn’t appear within the surveince range of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. In addition, the location of the King Realm expert in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty hasn’t moved.”


    Zhou Yi, who was sitting beside Su Yu, reported to Su Yu about the things that had happened during the past few days of Su Yu’s seclusion.


    “After you finish your daily work, go to the tower to cultivate more often. You are still too weak.” Hearing Zhou Yi’s words, Su Yu nodded slightly.


    “Understood,” Everyone sitting below, including Zhou Yi, quickly replied.


    “By the way, did you detect any ruins?” At this moment, Su Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked casually.


    “Master, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets has shown that there are valuable things within the ruins. I did detect one, but it was marked as a dangerous region. There must be something that can kill low-rank Kings inside.”


    In response to Su Yu’s question, Zhou Yi expanded the 3D sea area map. Then, he pointed at a region and said to Su Yu.


    “Is it not far from the Merman Dynasty?” Looking at a red spot on the sea map, Su Yu could not help but have some thoughts.


    However, Su Yu did not want to explore the ruins directly for the time being. After all, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had already marked it as dangerous. Wouldn’t it be foolish to barge in rashly?


    The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets could not immediately detect some ces that were blocked by certain powers. It would take a certain amount of time to detect, just like satellites being interfered with by signals.


    This was also why the location of this ruin was not immediately detected when the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty’s sea area..
