Huang Xiuli shook her head and said, "No! If the Shang League really does this, no matter how strong the Shang League is, it will be strangled by major forces. She wants to be good friends with these experts, so that after they can make a fortune in the future, they can give the Shang League some commercial benefits. The Shang League itself has never expanded its territory and recruited troops, which has also made major forces turn a blind eye to their disciples participating in the Shang League competition."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "Interestingly, because the Shang Alliance's vision is very accurate, there have been many examples of young cultivators not being favored by the elders of this sect, but being attracted by the Shang Alliance, and then leaping into the sky... Many small and medium-sized forces hope that their disciples are attracted by the Shang Alliance, so that they can better discover talents and save themselves from slowly selecting. So, if you can be selected by the Shang Alliance, maybe the Heavenly Demon Sect will promote you again. You may really be the leader of the peak in the future!"

"Haha, let's talk about the matter of the Peak Lord in the future! But after hearing what you said, I have to go!" Jiang Chen said lightly.

"Okay! Let's go together in three days!" Huang Xiuli was very happy to see Jiang Chen agreeing very happily.

"Okay! However, if we want to participate in the business alliance competition, we must affiliate with a store or business. Do you have any plans for this?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

"Haha! Of course, there is. My mother's family is from the Shang League!" Huang Xiuli smiled and said, "My mother's surname is Yue, and she comes from the Yue Family Trading Company in the Shang League in Jiangxia City. My uncle is Yue Shan, the shopkeeper of the Yue Family Trading Company. The Yue Family Trading Company is mainly in charge of alchemy affairs in the Shang League..." Huang Xiuli said at this time.

It turns out that although the merchant alliance divides member units by business banks and stores, most of the merchants are named after family names. For example, the Yue family's business is called Yue Family Trading Company, and the Chen family's business is called Chen Family Trading Company. Therefore, it is habitually called family.

There are many families, and there are hundreds of families of all sizes within the Shang League. Usually, the elders of the Shang League are managed according to the industry division, while the Yue family is mainly engaged in the alchemy industry.

However, there are more than two dozen families engaged in alchemy. These families are divided into core families and peripheral families.

The core family has great power. The head of the family can serve as the guardian of the business alliance and has the right to attend meetings of the business alliance at large and small. It can also participate in the daily management of the industry in which the family is located.

The rights of the peripheral families are much smaller, and they are basically just errands and cannot participate in the management and decision-making of the business alliance.

So the peripheral families are all trying to become the core family.

According to the regulations of the Shang League, there are eight core families in the alchemy industry. The others are peripheral families. Every ten years, the Shang League will hold a family re-ranking competition, and the last one of the core family will be demoted to the outer family, and the first one of the outer family will be promoted to the core family.

Since this year is the year when the Qingdan Gate ruins are opened, the Shang League will hold a banquet for young monks from all over the world. So we are preparing to hold the ten-year competition at the banquet. This move is also to stimulate the competitive spirit of foreign monks and attract them to participate in the competition.

Originally, as a core family engaged in the alchemy industry, the Yue family must have excellent alchemists. But what I never expected was: Yue Ke, the alchemist who was preparing to participate in the competition, was actually infatuated by practicing martial arts five days ago and has not yet woken up. This made the Yue family confused.

Although they have several other alchemists, their level is not high. If they are sent to participate in the competition, they will inevitably be at the bottom. This will lead to the Yue family being demoted to an outer family and lose a lot of rights and benefits. So now the Yue family is as anxious as an ants on a hot pan.

"Brother Jiang, I remember that your alchemy level is very high. Even Shangguan Yunfei, the president of the Dan League, praised him. If you can represent the Yue family in the competition, I believe that my parents' family will definitely be able to maintain the status of the core family!" Huang Xiuli finally made her request at this time. It turned out that she had turned such a big turn to make Jiang Chen take action to help her parents' family get out of trouble.

"Xiuli... Although I am willing to help you, I am not from the Yue family. Can I represent the Yue family to participate in the alchemy competition?" Jiang Chen said with some doubts.

"It doesn't matter. Didn't I say it before? The Shang League originally encouraged its families to absorb talents from outside. You just need to have a name called the alchemist hired by the Yue family, and you are a guest in the Yue family. You can represent the Yue family to participate in the alchemist competition!" Huang Xiuli hurriedly explained.

"This...well, if I didn't need to leave the sect, I wouldn't really want me to join the Yue clan business, it wouldn't matter if I just had a name!" Jiang Chen thought for a while and finally agreed. He really couldn't bear to refuse Huang Xiuli's persistent request.

"That's great! I'll thank you for my uncle's family!" Huang Xiuli said with joy.

Then she happily said, "Then let's go to Yue's house together! I want to tell my uncle this good news!"

"Uh... can I let me drink a little water first? I'm just back and I'm a little tired." Jiang Chen said embarrassedly at this time.

"...Then I'll wait for you at the door!" Huang Xiuli's pretty face suddenly turned a blush, and then she hurried out of the door.

Jiang Chen then breathed a sigh of relief. After drinking a cup of tea, he walked out of the door.

After a while, he and Huang Xiuli left the inn and headed straight for Yue's house.

After nearly half an hour of wandering around the streets in the city, they stopped outside a very vast manor. This was the courtyard of the Yue family.

Huang Xiuli and Jiang Chen arrived at the gate of Yue Family Courtyard. Just as they were about to enter, one of them happened to come out. This person looked only thirty-three or four years old, wearing green uniforms, looking energetic, handsome, slender body, and quite majestic. This person's cultivation has also reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which is higher than Jiang Chen's cultivation level.

However, after seeing him, Huang Xiuli frowned slightly.

"Sister Xiuli, you are back!" When the man saw Huang Xiuli, surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he walked up quickly and said with concern.

"Yes!" Huang Xiuli replied casually.

"Sister Xiuli, who is this person? I haven't seen him before! Could it be that he is the guard who accompanied you to Jiangxia City?" The handsome young man next to him saw his cousin Huang Xiuli, who was so attached to him, and he naturally felt so attached to this young man who looked so young.

Although he asked with a smile, his words were full of disdain for the so-called "guardian" identity, because in Jiangxia City, most of the guards were willing to do it.

"Yue Feng, respect Brother Jiang. He is not the guard he invited, but the alchemist I specially hired from the Han Dynasty in order to protect the seat of the core family. If you talk nonsense and offend the guests, don't blame me for turning against you!" Huang Xiuli suddenly turned around, her pretty face as if she was covered with frost, and she shouted coldly.

After being scolded by Huang Xiuli with such cold words, Yue Feng's handsome face turned blue and white. However, he looked at the medicine cauldron badge on Jiang Chen's chest and couldn't help but sneer: "Alliance master? Sister Xiuli, you are too confused, right? You just believe it when you see him having an alchemist badge? You must know that there are many monks who are cheating outside now. Who knows whether his badge was stolen or imitated? Have you really seen him refining alchemy?"

After hearing Yue Feng's words, Huang Xiuli's originally calm face suddenly showed anger. She said in a deep voice: "Yue Feng, do you know who he is?"

"What? Sister Xiuli, what kind of backstage does this kid have?" Yue Feng said in a daze.

"Brother Jiang and Shangguan Yunfei, the president of the Dan League, worked together to refine the Ambergris Blood Clearing Pill. President Shangguan personally awarded the second-level top-grade alchemist badge. And this Ambergris Blood Clearing Pill saved my life! Yue Feng, do you have any questions?" Huang Xiuli said with a hint of anger.
