Previously, god-level forces simply looked down on cooperating with merchant guilds.
Merchant guilds would beg to establish good relations and secure some cooperation with god-level forces.
But times have changed.
Originally, both the Myriad Poison Sect and the Divine Machine Gate suffered losses of Divine-grade Origin Spirit Crystals due to the auction.
Now, Xu Fengqiu has the support of the May Merchant Guild.
This means that if Xu Fengqiu wants to, he can obtain a large amount of resources through the May Merchant Guild.
And these resources are likely to be used by Xu Fengqiu to deal with them.
Therefore, if they cannot stop all of this now, they must at least obtain resource support from a merchant guild.
They will use some of their other resources to exchange for what they need more urgently, in order to prepare for the upcoming war.
They never thought this day would come.
He even considered sending someone to secretly eliminate Shi Ruxuan.
That's right!
Why can't he do that?
He needs to do it.
This May Merchant Guild is likely to become an important asset for Xu Fengqiu.
It must be severed.
"Mo Wenji, come here for a moment."
Mo Wenfeng said in a deep voice.
… …
Time flies.
Another month has passed.
During this month, the cooperation between the May Merchant Guild and the Myriad Ancient First God Sect has deepened significantly.
With the help of the May Merchant Guild, Xu Fengqiu has been refining pills and crafting talismans of all kinds.
He doesn't have to worry about the lack of heaven and earth spiritual objects and materials.
Whatever he needs, he sends over a list, and the next day or two days later, Shi Ruxuan directly sends people to deliver batches of them.
Of course, the Myriad Ancient First God Sect certainly doesn't take them for free.
The Myriad Ancient First God Sect needs to give the May Merchant Guild other resources, exchanging what they don't need in the short term.
Because many of the May Merchant Guild's resources actually belong to others, they are just sold and exchanged for other things through the May Merchant Guild, including Origin Spirit Crystals.
The things exchanged from the Myriad Ancient First God Sect still need to be given to them.
Of course, the May Merchant Guild will definitely make a profit in the middle.
Therefore, the May Merchant Guild is actually a disguised force.
Many strong individuals can actually join the May Merchant Guild.
The May Merchant Guild does not offer the stability that those top forces provide, but it can give them more generous salaries than other forces.
Therefore, the power behind Shi Ruxuan is actually not too small.
Xiao Li walked over hurriedly.
"Young Master, Sister Shi Ruxuan has been assassinated."
Xu Fengqiu raised an eyebrow.
"Is she alright?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
He certainly knows Xiao Li's feelings.
"She suffered quite serious injuries, but fortunately, her life is not in danger," Xiao Li said.
Xu Fengqiu nodded.
Actually, this was also within expectations.
The May Merchant Guild suddenly came to the Tianxuan Empire and suddenly reached a cooperation with the Myriad Ancient First God Sect.
How could the Divine Machine Gate and the Myriad Poison Sect sit still?
With Shi Ruxuan's intelligence, she must have anticipated all of this.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have just been injured.
It's just that the attacks from these two major sects may have been too strong.
Xiao Li said indignantly: "It must be the people from the Divine Machine Gate and the Myriad Poison Sect."
Three days passed.
Shi Ruxuan also came to visit the Myriad Ancient First God Sect again.
"How is Miss Shi's injury?"
Xu Fengqiu asked.
Shi Ruxuan also bowed slightly and said: "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Xu, I am already fine."
Xu Fengqiu handed Shi Ruxuan a pill: "This pill will help you recover faster."
Shi Ruxuan took it and smiled: "Thank you, then I won't be polite with Young Master Xu."
Xu Fengqiu smiled and shook his head.
Shi Ruxuan then said: "Ruxuan came here this time also because of the assassination. In fact, even without any evidence or clues, one can know who did it."
Over the years, Shi Ruxuan has traveled between several empires.
It is normal for her to have experienced assassinations and some man-made dangers.
But this time in the Tianxuan Empire is a bit unbearable.
"What are Miss Shi's thoughts?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
Shi Ruxuan took a sip of tea and said: "It's useless for me to have ideas. It's better to ask if Young Master Xu has any ideas. I will fully cooperate here."
In Shi Ruxuan's view, the Myriad Ancient First God Sect and the Divine Machine Gate and Myriad Poison Sect will eventually fight to the death.
It just depends on when Xu Fengqiu can be ready.
Since she is standing on the side of the Myriad Ancient First God Sect, it means that she has also become an enemy of the Divine Machine Gate and the Myriad Poison Sect.
Moreover, her behavior is equivalent to not giving face to the Divine Machine Gate and the Myriad Poison Sect.
Clearly, they are the god-level forces on the surface, but you came to the Tianxuan Empire and cooperated with the Myriad Ancient First God Sect?
Xu Fengqiu said: "Like this, I will give Miss Shi a list. I want all the materials on the list, as much as possible."
"Since that's the case, then on the current basis, I will give Young Master Xu a 30% discount."
"Then thank you very much, Miss Shi."
… …
Time flies.
A year later.
Time passes quickly.
Especially for martial artists, time seems to pass even faster.
During this year, the entire Nine Provinces was actually relatively peaceful.
When the Myriad Ancient First God Sect doesn't take action, no one else easily takes action now.
However, during this year, the Divine Machine Gate and the Myriad Poison Sect were uneasy.
Because the more time passes, the longer Xu Fengqiu can retreat and the more methods he can prepare.
And during this year, Xu Fengqiu was indeed preparing methods to deal with the two god-level forces.
With the support of the May Merchant Guild.
Xu Fengqiu was able to prepare a large number of talismans.
Previously, Xu Fengqiu had been considering whether the Immortal Palace would secretly collude with these two major sects.
But so far this year, Xu Fengqiu has also done a lot of things.
Although he can't be sure whether there is any cooperation between them.
But according to the news Xu Fengqiu received, it is likely that there really isn't.
And for these two major sects.
During this year, they have been secretly seeking allies to jointly fight against the Myriad Ancient First God Sect.
But… …
It is also a difficult road.
Which god-level force of the same level would needlessly want to inexplicably fight with Xu Fengqiu with them?
They wouldn't want to wade into this muddy water no matter how many benefits they were given.
Unless they have no choice, unless they know that Xu Fengqiu will definitely come to fight them after he finishes fighting these two major sects.
But… …
It won't happen.
They have no grudges now.
Secondly, there are only so many god-level forces in the Tianxuan Empire. If the Myriad Ancient First God Sect destroys them, then they will all be people of the Myriad Ancient First God Sect.
Who would needlessly go to fight?
Apart from some smaller sects that had no choice and were forced by the pressure of the two major forces to nominally agree to fight alongside them, this year, they basically gained nothing.
