When Qin Fan heard the name of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, he fell into deep thought.

Qin Fan divided his understanding of this force into three stages.

The first stage was before Xia Jinyu became the fourth shopkeeper, Qin Fan investigated that the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce secretly colluded with merchants from various states to manipulate the world's oil, rice, salt, cloth and sugar trading. It was rich enough to rival the country, and it was not stingy in buying, so it would not attract the jealousy of the powerful.

In a sense, it is the ruler hidden in the shadow of the entire mountain and sea world, and can use economic power to control the world.

The second stage is that the Suzaku Palace is dependent on Qin Fan's command and gives up the ticket to become the shopkeeper. Xia Jinyu relies on his own ability and Qin Fan's help to firmly hold the position of the shopkeeper.

Qin Fan found that his speculation at the beginning was too one-sided. The seven shopkeepers themselves represented the seven forces. They joined forces to become the masters of the Shanhai Realm in another way. Although they competed with each other, they were all in business.

Even if the shopkeepers will decide a winner, the final winner will only be the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.

The Daxuan Dynasty once tried to win the entire Tongtian Chamber of Commerce many times, but returned in vain again and again.

The third stage is to start the chaos in Jiuzhou, confirming that all the forces outside the sky have already settled in the mountains and seas. At the same time, Xia Jinyu also investigated the forces to which several other shopkeepers belonged.

Qin Fan has confirmed that the shopkeeper came from a top force outside the world, just as the purpose of the Taoist Domain and Buddha Land in the mountains and sea realm was to carry forward his own doctrines and expand the influence of Taoism and Buddhism.

The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is rooted in the mountains and seas, and must have received the tacit approval of the Xixuan Heavenly Court. The development direction of this force is mainly "Shanghai".

Although it was extremely unfavorable for the Daxuan Dynasty to impose the authority to manipulate economic power on others, it has to be admitted that the existence of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce actually contributed to the stability of the entire mountain and sea world.

Just saying that in this thousand-year history, no riots and uprisings have been launched due to droughts and floods that have caused refugees to have no food, it proves that the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has more than its faults.

Even though the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has been repeatedly feared by the rulers of the current dynasty, it is only passive defense and has never relied on its economic advantages to actively cause turmoil in Jiuzhou. It can also show that this force has always been absolutely neutral and has developed steadily in the business.

However, from Qin Fan's perspective, the existence of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to a sharp blade lying across the throat of the Daxuan Dynasty. After he developed a desire to compete for hegemony for the entire mountain and sea world, it was difficult not to be afraid of this force.

At the same time, there was an incident that had always made Qin Fan feel a little hostile to him.

That was when Qin Fan collected information about breaking through the celestial realm, the shopkeeper of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to inform Xia Jinyu of some information, but the important information about breaking through the inner demon tribulation was hidden.

If you do what the other party said, it is likely that Huang Tiangui and others will die under the heavenly disaster.

According to Qin Fan's speculation at that time, the other party was deliberately trying to balance the power, and was also deliberately targeting the Forgetful Ghost Market that had just emerged.

But after Yu Cangmiao said just now, his judgment on the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce was wrong.

Qin Fan felt that he might need to change, and that this kind of idea that there is always a bad guy who wants to harm me.

Because in the previous conversation, it has been shown that Yu Cangmiao will not enter the field as a chess piece of a certain foreign force, and he has some means that only exists outside the world, which proves that he is cooperating with a certain foreign force?

No, even though Yu Cangmiao is talented and has extraordinary means, his background determines that it is impossible to win such a relatively equal relationship.

Then the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce he mentioned is an important clue.

What does the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce do? The power responsible for trading!

At this moment, a light of inspiration flashed through Qin Fan's mind. Perhaps he had misunderstood the other party's intention from the incident in which the shopkeeper had.

As the seller, the other party first provides part of the information to attract the buyer's attention, and then sells subsequent information with high profits. This is obviously a means of transaction!

What is balancing the power structure and intentionally suppressing the ghost market are all unrealistic ideas that I am too vigilant and have made.

The big shopkeeper simply wanted to take the opportunity to sell the information that broke through the celestial realm to the ghost market at a high price.

Because if the Ghost Market breaks through the celestial realm according to the method provided by the other party, it will be found that the information given for free is indeed real, but not complete enough.

If you want to obtain more complete information, you will definitely find the shopkeeper again.

Although this process may lead to a pseudo-celestial powerhouse who failed to break through and died, the shopkeeper, as the spokesperson of the outside world's forces, will not care about it, but will only use it as a bargaining chip for price increase.

After all, in his eyes, among the lords of the forces of the Shanhai Realm, except Emperor Xuan, King Wuwei, and the lords of Buddhism and Taoism, the others were all a group of natives who were watching the sky from a well.

This transcendent mentality is not deliberately shown when he gets along with each other, but it has been engraved in the depths of his bloodline.

Just like players, even if they are tortured by NPCs, they still have a sense of arrogance deep in their hearts.

So it can be confirmed now that Yu Cangmiao directly completed some transaction at the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, or through the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce as an intermediary, he met certain conditions with those outside forces who could not interfere in the Shanhai Realm.

Before, when he realized the sympathy between heaven and earth in the rule space, he exchanged information with the brother who created the "The Great Compassion of Heaven and Earth Conquer Yin and Yang" to confirm that the existence of the destiny body allowed the overall value of the mountain and sea realm to increase directly. (See Chapter 665 for some details)

At the same time, the upper limit of the person in the world of Shanhai Realm is not low.

In a conversation with Qin Zun, Qin Fan knew that strong people in the Dharma Realm could use their physical strength to travel across the vast world and cross the void. Warriors in this realm were also the backbone of the major forces outside the heaven.

It is obvious that the mountain and sea realm will reach its limit more than just accommodate the Dharma Realm.

Moreover, the collapse of each chain of merit will trigger an increase in the concentration of vital energy, which will also lead to the mutation of ore and medicinal materials and the improvement of grades, which will naturally arouse the coveting of other outside forces.

More importantly, the Shanhai Realm has become another battlefield for those outside forces to make enemies, so it is not difficult for Yu Cangmiao to find a suitable trading party through the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.

And the core business of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce may be doing this.

"It seems you understand." Yu Cangmiao, who had been observing the change in Qin Fan's expression, suddenly spoke.

Qin Fan nodded and pointed at Yu who was constantly vomiting blood again and ignored:

"So he is one of the conditions for the transaction?"

Yu Cangmiao shook his head:

"Not one, but the only one, the reason why I set up this game is for him.

I need an obedient jade to ignore it, but with the power in my hands, it is too difficult to force him into this situation."

"So first use the Jade Rakshasa, then use me?"

"No, no, no, the Jade Rakshasa is related to another layout. From the beginning to the end, I don't think Jade Rakshasa will pose a threat to him. What's worse is that Jade Rakshasa helps him break through to the Dharma Realm."

Yu Cangmiao sighed lightly and said.

According to what Yu Cangmiao said, combined with the previous information, Qin Fan already understood that with the current situation in Jiuzhou, he might be the only one who can ignore Yu and fight to the death.

Emperor Xuan was still playing war balance, and his original intention was that he would never let Yu ignore him so early.

Therefore, before the oriole opened behind, a mantis stalked the cicada.

The reason why Yu Luosha died on the top of Lingjue Mountain can actually be seen as Yu Cangmiao compensating Emperor Xuan.

As for the other layout he mentioned, there are too few clues at present, and Qin Fan still finds it difficult to understand some context.

In addition, Qin Fan speculated that Emperor Xuan should have been under some kind of surveillance. Therefore, Yu Cangmiao would first resign from the position of prime minister, and then use the scene of pretending to die and escape to get rid of some gazes from outside the sky, and at the same time, he hid in the dark to complete his cooperation with Emperor Xuan.

But now it's useless to think about it.

Judging from the results, Yu Ignorance is like a dead dog. He can't escape the injuries he suffered even if he wants to survive. If he wants to survive, he must cooperate with Yu Cangmiao.

Moreover, since Yu Cangmiao's goal is a living jade ignore, it will also indicate that he has his own means to control it.

"Let's stop here." As Qin Fan sighed softly, Yu Cangmiao casts a playful look at him instead.

"Senior brother, these are all I want to ask?"

"To be more precise, it's what you want to tell me, and you should have said almost the same."

The purpose of pointing out the line of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is actually Yu Cangmiao also hopes that Qin Fan will contact some forces in the Tianwai through the shopkeeper. Although the two have serious differences on the issue of life and death that Yu ignored, the general direction remains unchanged.

So in Yu Cangmiao's opinion, the ending was almost clear, so he didn't mind giving Qin Fan some information compensation.

After all, this is also beneficial to Yu Cangmiao.

He didn't care how much noise Qin Fan would make after he met certain conditions with the forces outside the sky. Even if he could make a hole in the mountains and seas, he would not frown, because his heart was always in the sky.

Seeing Yu Cangmiao suddenly fell into silence, Qin Fan took the initiative to say:

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

"How much do you know about that one?"

“Who?”

"The one in Wuyou Villa."

"What the hell do you want to say?"

"As far as I know, the one who has a close relationship with the Empress Dowager in private, and in the guardian lineage, in addition to the idiot Luo Ruomei, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager all have their own tasks."

Qin Fan raised his eyebrows. He knew that Qin Zun and the Empress Dowager were old acquaintances. He used this relationship to mobilize the power of the Red Rou Army and kill the first enemy, Lin Shu, the owner of Wuyou Villa before him.

Later, on the eve of the establishment of the Ghost Market, Yu Huangxin arrived at Xuanyang Domain to deliver a letter to Qin Zun for the Empress Dowager (see Chapter 266 for some details.)

What he didn't know now was whether Qin Zun and the Empress Dowager met before they came to the Shanhai Realm or after they arrived at the Shanhai Realm.

If it is the latter, it is nothing. If it is the former, the hidden strength of the Phoenix Guardian lineage must be recalculated.

However, one thing that Qin Fan cares more about is that the Empress Dowager once wrote a letter to her inconspicuous self at that time, saying that the favors she owed were all counted on Qin Zun, and even if she dealt with the Huhuang lineage, she would not have to worry about her existence.

Then after I told Qin Zun about this, the old man's expression was quite wonderful, just like a scumbag who was wearing pants and refused to admit his conscience.

(See Chapter 258 for some details)

Now the two old men have no letter exchanges on the surface, but that is because Qin Fan gave a voice transmission token to the Empress Dowager early, leaving a spiritual mark that can be contacted by Qin Zun.

"Is this mission referring to surveillance Emperor Xuan?"

Yu Cangmiao said nothing, but for Qin Fan, this silence was equivalent to an answer.

"It seems that you owe Xuan Emperor a lot this time. Although he is also one of the Seven Feathers, I guess your trump card should not have the power under his command."

"So confirm?"

"It's that certain. In addition, he should have been deliberately lured into the game by you. You first used Yu Ignorance to kill Yu Luosha, and then used me to destroy Yu Ignorance to do so. At the same time, you are also preparing to use his power to enter this layout that you have to attack me, right?"

Seeing Qin Fan pointing at Bi Poyun, who was completely out of shape, Yu Cangmiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"You have seen his situation, what can I tempt him?"

Qin Fan said in a deep voice: "The desperate pawnshop."

Everyone present was confused, and Yu Cangmiao understood the special abilities of the two people referred to.

On this road, Yu Cangmiao went further than Qin Fan. Since Qin Fan could help his fate point out a way to survive, Yu Cangmiao could also establish bonds for those who were lost.

The Blue Sky, which has lost all emotions now, should be in need of such constraints.

After all, everyone present could feel that the current Bipoqiong is no longer a person. Maybe one year later, a month later, or even tomorrow, his consciousness will turn into nothingness, and no one knows what kind of monster it will evolve into.

Therefore, Qin Fan speculated that Yu Cangmiao was using his own causal power to make Bi Poqiong regain the feeling of real life in exchange for him to stand in front of the stage and complete this layout.

And with this blue sky situation, it is also very suitable to be such a tool person.

However, because of this state, the tool man, Bipoqiong, is not completely controlled by Yu Cangmiao.

Yu Cangmiao did not continue this topic. He just threw the white piece in his hand into the chess jar and looked at the unfinished chess game on the chess board and said:

"When you think about it carefully, it seems that you and I haven't finished a game of chess in a complete way."

"It's good that way, after all, the real victory and defeat are never on the chessboard." Qin Fan flicked his finger, and the black piece he played with fell into the chess can as he responded.

Yu Cangmiao sighed and said:

"Do you really want to do it? Actually, I really don't want to fight with my senior brother. Once you bleed, the scene will be really hard to deal with."

"Then will you give up on Jade and ignore it?"

Yu Cangmiao suddenly looked solemn, and his voice became colder and colder:

"Qin Fan, you will regret it."

Qin Fan smiled gently and said:
Chapter completed!
