Chapter 58: The New Golden Brick Chamber of Commerce

In the latter half of August in the 29th year of the Shutian Calendar, it was once again time for the annual departure beyond the passes.
Just like the previous year, crowds gathered before the Yongji Pass. Ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods were already stationed in advance at the six outposts outside the pass, under the protection of the vanguard troops.
Along the roads pointed to by these outposts, the brushwood that had been cleared and chopped down last year could still be seen; green moss now clung to their sunny sides, while mushrooms sprouted from their shaded sides.
The rainy season in the Lingjiang River basin was drawing to a close.
Looking at his empty home, where certain corners were still in disarray, Lu Chuan had not even managed to eat a single bite of food despite working until now, leaving the dining table stretching out endlessly with nothing on it.

Bai Mu gritted his teeth and closed the distance between them. The sword array behind him condensed, and the leading bamboo-leaf sword unleashed a God-Slaying Form. The nine hundred and ninety-eight short swords that followed howled in unison, pushing Bai Mu's strike to nearly the level of the late Weapon-Control Realm.
This time, the examinees came from all corners of the realm, numbering in the hundreds, and among them were quite a few children from prominent families. They had hired private tutors since childhood, giving them study conditions far superior to Gu Dashun's. Yet, even so, Gu Dashun managed to place second, which brought immense honor to the Gu family.
"Mom, I'm already fine. You should go home and get some good rest; the nurses are here to take care of things," Shen Xingyi said with a pang of heartache as he looked at the dark circles under his mother's eyes.
The boss was quite shrewd. Before she was even asked what she wanted to buy, she had already anticipated all her exits, making Shen Qingqing feel somewhat obliged to make a purchase, lest it seem impolite.
Empress Dowager Zhuang sat upon the phoenix throne on the dais of the main hall, dressed in a dark black long robe embroidered with red borders and golden phoenixes, wearing a golden phoenix crown upon her head. She looked regal and majestic, yet lost none of her fierce and overpowering aura.
Chen Jinxi watched his slightly intoxicated state, feeling a secret wave of anxiety and apprehension. It would be disastrous if he blurted out something inappropriate under the influence of alcohol.
Most of the members in the chamber of commerce were first-tier Transcendents and ordinary people, though one of them was a second-tier Transcendent.
Upon seeing this scene, the surrounding Academy disciples wore looks of utter shock; naturally, they recognized these individuals.
The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy was stunned. Taking the white tiger away from Penglai Immortal Island was simply beyond his current capabilities, and he wasn't even sure if his future self would be able to do it.
Yet now, she no longer held that thought. Who knew whether this home would still be her home in the end?
The nurse who came to change Li Gengxin's parents' medication had also watched the live broadcast of the press conference and thus knew the background of the two elderly people, speaking with barbs in every word.
His pupils contracting, Zhou Wushuang experienced a flash of inspiration in his mind and instinctively reached out to touch the golden crow.
Seeing Ye Wushuang depart, the elder who had remained silent all along felt a sharp gleam flash through his eyes.
Li Gengxin gave him a sideways glance, signaling him to keep quiet, and gestured for him to pretend he hadn't seen anything. The monk blinked his eyes to indicate he understood.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Wushuang no longer hesitated. After taking a deep breath, he lifted his foot and strode toward the interior of the cave.
Of course, this also showed that the latter was unwilling to live a mediocre life. If it weren't to reach an agreement with Zhou Wushuang, how could he act so recklessly and risk his life to enter this place?
At this moment, a vermilion flame ignited on the slave of alchemy. Her face was as cold as frost, and she gazed coldly at Lin Xiao.
Over the past two days, Tong Lei and the company's major executives had worked overtime for two consecutive nights before finally conceiving an IP creative concept. Originally, she had wanted to shock Zhang Ning, just to let him know that they were not to be trifled with. Little did she expect that instead of shocking Zhang Ning, she ended up shocking herself all over again.
Within his body, the surging power of the laws was instantly replaced by the primordial law... transforming into the power of the primordial law.
Li Wa glanced at the mark on the letter, and his expression changed drastically. This exact mark was used only for the most urgent military intelligence dispatches of the Dashun army. Daring not to open it privately, he hurried toward the main hall where Li Zicheng was holding a council.
At this moment, Di Chong turned his gaze once again toward the high platform, because Consort Lan had just produced a multicolored mineral, which faintly emitted a five-colored radiance, and Di Chong could even sense a trace of spiritual aura within it.
