Chapter 1043: Shang Chen's Disappearance (Page 1/1)

Although the martial arts cultivation of the Hidden Martial Realm was much higher than that of the Secular Realm, its technological level was several centuries behind that of the secular realm.

The main means of transportation in the Hidden Martial Realm is either horseback or carriage, and even the bow tower on the sea is driven by the most primitive steam engine, but in the secular world, even spaceships have been invented, which shows that there is a huge gap between the two.

As long as the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce can continue to take high-tech items from the secular world and sell them, then the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce will be in an absolute monopoly position, and no matter how powerful the other chambers of commerce are, they will not be able to compete with the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce in the end.

However, what made Li Xuedong puzzled was that since the Shentong Chamber of Commerce had such an absolute advantage, why was it forced to such an extent by the Sea Dragon Gang, and even the young gang leader of the Sea Dragon Gang dared to kick the field of the Shentong Chamber of Commerce uninvited.

Shang Zixuan is indeed a smart woman, she glanced at Li Xuedong, she knew what he was thinking, and said directly: "Brother Li, you must be very strange now, since our Divine Power Chamber of Commerce has such a big advantage, why was it defeated by the Sea Dragon Gang, right?"

Li Xuedong nodded and said, "That's true, what is the reason?"

Speaking of the reason, Shang Zixuan's pretty face showed an extremely worried expression, and even her voice was a little unnatural: "The reason is that two years ago, after my father entered the secular world through a secret location, there has been no news since then, and this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, it started four years ago. ”

Shang Zixuan told Li Xuedong that the Shentong Chamber of Commerce was just an ordinary chamber of commerce in the Hidden Martial Realm more than a hundred years ago.

The reason why the Shentong Chamber of Commerce jumped to become the largest chamber of commerce in the hidden martial arts world started with her grandfather Shang Kangtai.

When Shang Kangtai originally founded the Shentong Chamber of Commerce, he just sold some medicinal materials, and many of the medicinal materials of the Chamber of Commerce were picked by Shang Kangtai himself in the mountains, because the merchants were medical families in the past, so Shang Kangtai had a very high knowledge of medicinal herbs.

However, when he was going up the mountain to collect medicine, a heavy rainstorm fell on the way, and Shang Kangtai had to go to a nearby cave to take shelter from the rain.

However, while sheltering from the rain, Shang Kangtai unexpectedly found a strange pattern in the cave, and there were many shiny things similar to jade scattered next to this pattern.

Later, Shang Kangtai finally studied and understood that the original pattern was a formation, and those shiny things were the energy that activated this formation.

One day, Shang Kangtai tried to activate the formation with a spar, and he bravely walked in, but was unexpectedly entered into a world completely different from the Hidden Martial Realm.

Shang Kangtai had a lot of dealings with the elders of many sects in the Hidden Martial Realm, and he also learned about the affairs of the secular realm from them.

"Originally, the method of entering the secular realm has always been in the hands of the great sects of the hidden martial realm, and ordinary people have no way to go to the secular realm at all. ”

Shang Zixuan told Li Xuedong about the history of their business as if she was reminiscing, and Li Xuedong didn't bother her, because he knew that what Shang Zixuan was going to say next was very important: "After Grandpa learned that the magic circle in the cave could take people to the secular world, he no longer went up the mountain to collect medicine, but went to the secular world to buy some fresh and interesting things, and then took them to the hidden martial world to sell, just like that, this model has become the key to the strong rise of our business, although we are also engaged in other businesses in the hidden martial arts world, but those are just cover-ups." ”

Li Xuedong nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the magic circle in that cave should be a teleportation array, and as for those shiny jades, most of them are Tianyang stones, right?"

"Hey, Brother Li, how do you know?"

Seeing that Li Xuedong not only knew about the teleportation array, but also knew about the Heavenly Cultivation Stone, Shang Zixuan showed surprise and stared at Li Xuedong with a somewhat nervous expression.

Li Xuedong immediately took out a piece of Heavenly Cultivation Stone from the storage ring and said, "Actually, this thing is not called Heavenly Cultivation Stone, but is called Spirit Stone, which is the spiritual source that activates the teleportation array. ”

Seeing Li Xuedong take out the Heavenly Cultivation Stone, the surprise in Shang Zixuan's eyes gradually dissipated.

In fact, she shouldn't be surprised that Li Xuedong knew about the Teleportation Array and the Heavenly Cultivation Stone, because Li Xuedong himself was an unimaginable person, a person who she couldn't see through at all.

Shang Zixuan continued: "Brother Li, the reason why I know that the magic circle is a teleportation array is that my father only found out after consulting countless materials handed down from the Hidden Martial Realm, that teleportation array can only be activated once a year, and only one can be let out at a time, and it must come back within a month, otherwise the next time I come back will have to wait until a year later."

However, since four years ago, after one of the elders of our merchant entered the secular world, he did not return after the deadline. You must know that the people who are selected by our merchants to enter the secular world to get goods are extremely strong-willed people, and they will never be attracted by the outside world and not come back. ”

Li Xuedong knew that Shang Zixuan was about to get to the point, so he listened quietly.

The worry in Shang Zixuan's eyes was even worse, and she said slowly: "After the elder four years ago didn't come back, we merchants were very anxious, three years ago, we selected another senior to go out, but he, like the previous one, also did not come back after the deadline. Father concluded that the two merchant elders were in serious trouble outside, so he decided to go out in person next time. ”

"Is he the same as those two merchant elders, who went out and never came back?"

Hearing this, Li Xuedong obviously already knew what Shang Zixuan was worried about, and he also knew why the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce had declined rapidly in just a few years.

There are two key factors for the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce to be able to stand tall in the Hidden Martial Realm, one is that her father Shang Chen has an innate peak cultivation, which is not inferior to the top masters of any sect, and naturally no one dares to trouble them with the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce. Another reason is that their supernatural chambers of commerce can continuously obtain high-tech items from the secular world, thus giving them a monopoly on these items, which is incomparable to other chambers of commerce.

With Shang Chen's disappearance, the two strongest advantages of the Divine Power Chamber of Commerce quickly collapsed, and they would naturally be eaten away by other chambers of commerce.

If someone else presides over the Shentong Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that the Chamber of Commerce has already been split up, that is, Shang Zixuan is presiding over the overall situation, although a lot of territory has been swallowed up by other chambers of commerce, but the main body of the Chamber of Commerce has not suffered much loss.

Since that teleportation array was leading to the secular realm, it was likely that someone in the secular realm discovered the exit of the teleportation array, so they stayed there and arrested the people who came out of it.

However, Li Xuedong felt that this was unlikely, you must know that although the technology in the secular world is high, the level of martial arts is very low.

The Shang elders who were selected out were also mid-level cultivators at the very least, and such cultivation was enough to run rampant in the secular world, but how could people in the secular world be able to stop it.
