My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The Master Chef of Tianyuan City, Master Paoding, had displayed his unique culinary skills – dishes that were oddly shaped but exceptionally delicious and came with remarkable benefits.

"Not bad, really not bad," "Among the extraordinary delicacies I have tasted, this one can definitely rank in the top three."

Qiye praised.

Mu Yuan was also surprised that Qiye, indeed a Mysterious Merchant and a High-order Mysterious Merchant at that, was—

—his current understanding of Mysterious Merchants and the Mysterious Merchant Alliance was far from the superficial knowledge he had before, fully aware of what kind of force it was.

Born from the Mysterious Merchant Alliance, Qiye, well-traveled and well-informed, was not surprised even by the 'exotic' food specially provided by Chef Ding, obviously having seen similar cooking methods before.

Indeed, the world is full of talented individuals.

After the meal.

In the serene Treeman Forest, there was a garden area with various pavilions and towers.

The Mysterious Merchant Qiye waved his hand, "The goods I've brought this time are definitely a notch above the previous two times. My friend, you will be astound... er, surprised."

At this point, Qiye suddenly felt less confident.

He had always thought that the goods he brought would amaze the young Lord, contributing to the great development and construction of his territory. Of course, he himself would make a considerable profit from this rich and mysterious friend.

But the strength of Tianyuan City far exceeded his expectations, whether the carefully prepared goods could still catch the City Lord's eye, he was unsure.

He waved his hand, "Let's set up our shop."

Qiye's subordinates immediately sprung into action.

They led their beasts of burden to specific positions and stood firm. Then, with a big gulp from Qiye's space beast, a tangible space ripple whooshed open, capturing Duo Lai's attention—clearly, this beast of burden was a gourmet like itself.

Beneath the undulating space ripples, amidst the formation of several beasts, a small but lavishly decorated shop suddenly appeared.

The shop was only one story high, with several shelves inside, each displaying mysterious and alluring goods within a faint aura, which inevitably made one curious to explore.

"Here are the prop-type goods, here are the equipment-type goods, and here are the blueprint-type goods."

Perhaps aware of Mu Yuan's lack of interest in Soul Remnants, this time Qiye's goods included very few, just over a dozen of Zhuo San's Soul Remnants.

Mu Yuan's gaze passed over and settled on the shelf with the blueprint-type goods.

Dozens of Miracle Blueprints were neatly displayed there, with a small portion of rare grade and the majority of Superior grade.

To be able to wholesale Superior Miracle Blueprints, Qiye certainly had some capabilities indeed.

"Go get the materials from our Warehouse Number Two," Mu Yuan instructed a Legendary Realm junior officer.

Then, his gaze fell on the shelves, meticulously selecting a dozen or so Superior blueprints.

Most of them were for breakthrough and cultivation architectural drawings.

After the recent promotion and baptism, his Tianyuan City's breakthrough buildings were not enough. Now, with a large influx of travelers, adventurers, and merchants, he wanted to earn as much as possible from their pockets, and to do that, the corresponding facilities also needed to keep up.

The breakthrough and cultivation buildings were the Miracle Building types most in demand by Professionals daily.

Buying from the Mysterious Merchant was much cheaper than exchanging them on the Taixuan Covenant Platform, a real "profit without cost" deal.

Of course, with a better understanding of the Mysterious Merchant's 'Points System' by now, Mu Yuan would not dream of sweeping all the items in the shop clean.

Not worth it.

Even for business without cost, it was not truly without expense.

The so-called Points, in essence, represented the authority or rule wielded by the Mysterious Merchant Alliance. Tianyuan City could not offer an unlimited number of 'Mysterious Items.' It was best to save some for the next time or the time after when encountering a Mysterious Merchant, lest desired goods appear and he lacked sufficient Points to purchase them.

Primarily, it was because there were no blueprints he coveted. There was little necessity to purchase a few defensive architectural drawings.

If there had been Epic blueprints, he would have bought them without a second thought. Even if he didn't have enough materials for a profitless exchange, he could add more valuable items to the trade.

Unfortunately, there were none.

Then, Mu Yuan purchased some common Treasure Beads, props, including but not limited to 'Refugee Recruitment Order' and 'Concealed Pearl,' among others.

There was also an Epic Level material, 'Ancient Dragon Essence Blood,' usable for crafting top-tier Body Tempering Potions or for elevating the bloodline of Dragon Type Troops.

"That will be all," Mu Yuan concluded the sizable purchase.

Qiye's subordinates, the elite staff of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, quickly tallied the goods and completed the transaction.

Soon after, they packed up.

The trade was finished.

It was like going to a supermarket and buying a few bags of items.

Plenty in quantity but nothing extraordinary, not deserving any special attention.

The volume of this transaction was actually quite substantial; the City Lord of Tianyuan City had purchased well over a dozen Superior blueprints. To Qiye, this trade had earned him a significant profit, but he could also tell that none of the items truly whetted the City Lord's appetite, not even that piece of Epic material.

The fact that he as a Mysterious Merchant couldn't satisfy his customer was truly a failure.

He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly, with great care, pulled out an item from his pocket.

A black and gold card.

"Have you ever learned about what the Mysterious Merchant Alliance is?"

Qiye suddenly asked.
