Chapter 1095: Ancient Serpent Chamber of Commerce Headquarters
Chu Fengmian arrived at the empire's capital, with the initial intention of going to the Blood World.
However, Chu Fengmian did not plan to go directly to the Blood World, as it is fraught with danger.
Even within Lei Yan's memory, Chu Fengmian, although knowing some things about the Blood World, still dared not venture there lightly.
Because according to Lei Yan's memory, the Blood World is still too dangerous, and this danger is incredibly deliberate.
When Lei Yan entered the Blood World, he was accompanied by several other companions, yet those companions suddenly exploded and died.
Without the slightest warning, they died by explosion in the Blood World, and their flesh became part of the Blood World.
Lei Yan was considered to have good luck, not encountering such strange events, allowing him to leave the Blood World alive, but given the opportunity to go again, he would not take it, no matter the reward.
This prompts Chu Fengmian to consider carefully.
Moreover, Chu Fengmian has a second thing to do in the empire's capital, which is to gather information about the Saint Dragon Secret Realm.
Han Yueli and Luo Xi, both are in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm. Chu Fengmian must seek them out, requiring a journey to the Saint Dragon Secret Realm.
In the wilderness, it is really difficult to find any information about the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, and the empire's capital is the center of the ancient kingdom of the serpent. Chu Fengmian also plans to find a merchant guild to collect information on the Saint Dragon Secret Realm.
At the same time, Chu Fengmian also intends to see if there's a place to buy a large quantity of blood stones. Chu Fengmian's wealth is endless, so if he could buy a large quantity of blood stones, he wouldn't need to risk going to the Blood World.
Thinking of this, Chu Fengmian suddenly grabbed a nearby man at the Fragmented Life Realm.
This man at the Fragmented Life Realm, being abruptly stopped by Chu Fengmian, initially showed some anger, but seeing Chu Fengmian's Heavenly Fate Realm, the anger quickly faded.
Power is respected, universal in all places.
"I wonder, senior, for what reason?"
The man asked cautiously, while secretly thinking whether he had offended someone.
After all, being suddenly stopped filled his mind with doubt.
"No need to be nervous, I just wanted to ask, what's the largest merchant guild in this empire's capital, and where is it located?"
Chu Fengmian casually spoke.
The information he wants to purchase about the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, and a large amount of blood stones, are beyond what small merchant guilds can possess.
He was too lazy to ask around one by one, naturally looking for the biggest.
Upon hearing Chu Fengmian's words, the man's tension quickly dissipated, then pointed to the front and said.
"Ahead, there's an Ancient Serpent Guild, the largest merchant guild in the ancient kingdom of the serpent. Follow this road straight ahead, and you'll reach it. No matter what senior wants to buy, you can find it there."
"Here is a Spirit Stone as a reward for you."
Chu Fengmian moved his palm, and an Emperor-grade Spirit Stone flew out immediately, handed to the man, then Chu Fengmian moved directly away.
"Ancient Serpent Guild, it seems even in the empire's capital, it's the most magnificent ancient serpent guild."
Chu Fengmian recalled when he left the You Mountain City Ancient Serpent Guild, at that time Wang Zhenliu gave him a Purple Snake Card.
Now it seems, it might prove useful.
"Hopefully, it won't disappoint me."
Chu Fengmian followed the road straight ahead, and at the end of the street stood an ancient metal-forged tower, appearing as if having weathered countless years.
Even made of metal, it bore some ancient marks.
Two metal-cast ancient serpents clung to it, resembling the tower Chu Fengmian saw in the You Mountain City at the ancient serpent guild.
However, it appeared much grander than the one in You Mountain City, almost incomparable.
"This is the headquarters of the Ancient Serpent Guild."
Chu Fengmian looked and saw countless martial artists moving to and fro, tens of thousands of them, trading in the Ancient Serpent Guild.
People like the Eternal Realm's supreme ancestors were not rare here, though there were no Quasi-emperors present.
Quasi-emperors, considered absolute powerhouses across the entire archaic demon continent, even at the headquarters of the Ancient Serpent Guild, they are VIPs, not mixing with ordinary martial artists.
"Welcome, senior, to the Ancient Serpent Guild. At our guild, there are spiritual medicine, spiritual artifacts, everything you need. What might senior require?"
Upon entering, a woman in white approached to inquire.
This woman in white was at the Life-and-Death Realm, not considered a weakling in the ancient kingdom of the serpent.
But within the Ancient Serpent Guild, she was merely a receptionist, because many of the martial artists doing business at the guild were either wealthy or noble.
Even supreme ancestors or Quasi-emperors would come, so the receptionists' strength could not be too weak.
Chu Fengmian didn't answer but directly handed a purple token from his palm to the woman in white.
"A purple-tiered VIP indeed."
After receiving the token, the woman in white respectfully said.
"Please follow me."
The woman in white led Chu Fengmian, departing the first-floor hall, arriving directly on the seventh floor of the Ancient Serpent Guild.
Looking at the fifth floor, there were thousands of private rooms, many closed, indicating some people were discussing business inside.
The woman in white led Chu Fengmian into an empty private room, then quickly departed.
"Didn't expect with my status, in the empire's capital's Ancient Serpent Guild, could only reach the fifth floor."
The rules of Ancient Serpent Guild are the same everywhere, a total of seven floors, divided by identity and strength.
In You Mountain City, Chu Fengmian could be taken to the seventh floor, and that Purple Snake Card was the highest status You Mountain City's Ancient Serpent Guild could offer at that time.
In the empire's capital's Ancient Serpent Guild, such status could only reach the fifth floor.
However, Chu Fengmian looked, and most of the people trading on the fifth floor were at least martial artists of the Emperor level.
But no supreme ancestors in the Eternal Realm existed, indicating supreme ancestors were on higher levels.
Chu Fengmian sat in the private room, just took a sip of tea, before an elderly man came in.
"What might you want to buy or sell?"
The elderly man glanced at Chu Fengmian and spoke plainly.
An emperor might count as a figure outside, but for the Ancient Serpent Guild's staff, they daily interacted with emperors, even supreme ancestors.
It was hardly something worth much attention.
