Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 367 Business Talk, Meeting The Divine Predictor Again, Burning Books And Hiding Emperors

Chapter 367: Business Talk, Meeting The Divine Predictor Again, Burning Books And Hiding Emperors

In a ma.s.sive fortress was the largest business firm.

It was called the Four Seas Firm.

It was the largest-scaled firm in all of Firmament Star. Its businesses reached far and wide throughout the Four Domains and even to the Outer Seas.

The Four Seas Firm was Chu Kuangren’s target this time.

Chu Kuangren arrived at the Four Seas Firm, and the moment he stepped in, a feeling of majestic regality wafted toward him immediately. The place was lavishly decorated, the sculptures and art pieces on its walls were even more magnificent than most royal palaces.

“My dear guest, may I a.s.sist you with something?”

A receptionist walked up to him.

“I’m here for your manager.” Chu Kuangren cut straight to the point.

Taken aback by his words, the receptionist sized Chu Kuangren up. Although there was a spiritual light veil covering the latter’s face, he still exuded an extraordinary aura, hence he should be a very important guest.

At that thought, the receptionist said to his guest, “Please bear with us for a moment, sir. I shall notify the manager right away.”

Before long, a middle-aged man donned in a silk robe walked out.

“Daoist Brother, what kind of business can I help you with?” That middle-aged man flashed Chu Kuangren a welcoming smile the moment he saw him.

Upon seeing the manager, a glint of disappointment flashed across Chu Kuangren’s eyes. “I a.s.sume that you’re just the branch manager here. Fine. Do you have any way of reaching your headquarter’s general manager?”

“The headquarter’s general manager?” A surprised look appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. It did not occur to him that this man was here to look for his big boss.

The only problem here was that the Four Seas Firm’s general manager was extremely mysterious. n.o.body knew exactly where or who he was. Only less than a handful of people could reach him.

Although the Four Seas Firm’s branch manager indeed had a way of contacting him, to be able to meet him in person remains an indelibly difficult task.

“Dear sir, why are you looking for our general manager?

“I have a business to discuss with him.”

“Heh, Daoist Brother, you must be kidding. Our general manager doesn’t talk business with people. Besides, if the business is worth less than a hundred million soulstones, there’s no need to see the general manager, we can take care of the deal for you here.”

The middle-aged man said arrogantly with a smile.

However, when Chu Kuangren took off the spiritual veil on his face, the middle-aged man froze. He was absolutely baffled by what he saw.

“Just tell him that Chu Kuangren is here to discuss business with him and ask if he’s willing to show up,” Chu Kuangren said flatly.

The middle-aged man, the receptionist who was busy working at one side, and all the other guests were all stunned. They looked at Chu Kuangren in astonishment.

“For Sect Leader Chu, I’ll make sure to inform the general manager immediately. Please bear with us for a short moment.” The middle-aged man quickly recovered his senses and corrected his att.i.tude. Never had he imagined that the famed Chu Kuangren himself would be here to talk business.

When he recalled Chu Kuangren’s past achievements and ruthlessness, the middle-aged man could not help but shudder in fear.

This was no longer just about business. If things were not handled well, this would cost him his life!

The middle-aged man hastily contacted the headquarter’s general manager, Qian Fugui, and in just a few minutes, there was already a reply.

“Please take good care of Sect Leader Chu for me. Tell him that I’ll be there tomorrow.”

“Alright, sure.”

The middle-aged man dared not delay matters any longer as he quickly arranged the best suite and the prettiest servant for Chu Kuangren…

The next day.

Qian Fugui had arrived.

The part that surprised Chu Kuangren was that he had brought along another person, an elderly man that Chu Kuangren had seen before.

“Manager Qian and the respected Mister Predictor, I hope you guys are doing well.”

Chu Kuangren smiled as he greeted the two.

Aside from Qian Fugui, the other person who came to see him this time was the world’s best… Divine Predictor!

“Little Chu, I see that you have glowed up from the last time I saw you.”

Divine Predictor laughed and said.

The trio then sat down together.

“Mister Predictor, why are you here with Manager Qian?”

Chu Kuangren asked curiously.

“Ah, I ran out of coins in my pocket and I just happened to stumble into Manager Qian on my way, so I’m here depending upon him for food and drinks,” Divine Predictor said jokingly, without a care of his esteemed reputation.

Qian Fugui, who was beside him, was not unhappy at all. In fact, he looked honored. After all, not many people in this world get to have the Divine Predictor around for money and food.

A lot of people wished they had the chance to cater for the number one predictor in the world.

“Right, Sect Leader Chu, what’s this business that you want to talk to me about?”

“I intend to purchase two types of items. One is the Cloudflow Ore and another the Celestial Chalcedony. I want ten thousand kilograms of Cloudflow Ore, and as for the Celestial Chalcedony, I don’t need too much. Just one kilogram or so would do, but it must be of high quality.”

Chu Kuangren listed out the two key materials that he needed for the setup of the Astonis.h.i.+ng Sea of Clouds Formation. The latter material was especially important.

“Although the amount of Cloudflow Ore that you want is quite a lot, I don’t think it would be a problem. However, this Celestial Chalcedony is very rare and the ones that I can gather are all Low-tier. I’m afraid that would be challenging to acquire,” Manager Qian explained.

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuangren frowned.

He knew that Celestial Chalcedony was rare, but he did not expect that it would be difficult to obtain for the Four Seas Firm, a firm that had businesses across the Four Domains and the Outer Seas.

“Well, I know a place that produces ma.s.s amounts of high-quality Celestial Chalcedony.” Just then, Divine Predictor spoke.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up. “Where?”

“The Ethereal Rapture!”

“Ethereal Rapture, one of the unknown lands?”

Chu Kuangren guessed after giving it a thought.

“That’s right, but very few people know the true location of the Ethereal Rapture. Even I can’t tell you for sure where it’s exactly located. If you wish to seek the Ethereal Rapture, you can only ask the Ethereal Rapture’s current empyrean walker.”

“Where do I find this person?”

“At the Empyrean Peak!”

The Divine Predictor let out a faint smile. “Cloud Nine’s empyrean walker, Ling Xiao, has set up an arena at the Empyrean Peak, challenging empyrean walkers from all over the world. Such commotion would surely attract Ethereal Rapture’s empyrean walker.”

“You will find what you want if you head there.”

“Understood.”

Chu Kuangren nodded gently. He then left the job of purchasing the Cloudflow Ores to Qian Fugui while he took off to look for the Ethereal Rapture’s empyrean walker.

Before he left, he took out that mysterious jade amulet that he had gotten from Yuan Wudao and showed it to the Divine Predictor, whom he asked, “Mister Predictor, I wonder if you know what this is?”

Seeing the jade amulet, Divine Predictor’s eyes lit up. “Oh, this is a jade amulet from the Qian Imperial Palace. Where did you get this from?”

“I knew that you would know what this is, Mister Predictor. Mind if you tell me more about this item?” Chu Kuangren asked curiously.

“Qian Emperor is the last Emperor of the ancient era. Legend has it that when he was crestfallen, he left behind an Imperial Palace. Inside the palace are all the treasures and Emperor Dao insights that the Qian Emperor had gathered all his life.”

“To open the entrance to the Imperial Palace, you need eight jade amulets. This one right here in your hand is one of them,” the Divine Predictor said.

“Oh, so this jade amulet really does have great Opportunities of Fortune. However, very little is written about this Qian Emperor in the ancient archives. Why the scarcity of such records?” Chu Kuangren felt somewhat puzzled.

“Because they’ve all been destroyed by those unknown lands.”

The Divine Predictor explained calmly, “In the unknown lands, there has always been this rumor that the Emperors never died. They had merely gone to another place, and before they left the current world, they left behind their inheritance, waiting for that one day when it would reappear, and then they would come back to this world.”

“To have exclusive access to the Emperor’s inheritances, the few great unknown lands conspired and wiped out any records of the Emperors, from the past to the present, that they could find. That way, they could have it all to themselves as they wait for the Emperor’s inheritance to reappear.”

“We, Phantom Valley people, coined this act as burning books and hiding emperors!”

Speaking of this, a hint of mockery flashed in the Divine Predictor’s eyes.
