Above all spirits

Chapter 87 Xiaodi, continue.

Gu Yun was a little confused and couldn't figure it out at all.

What is Shang Wenqing saying?

However, since his previous self-assessment was indeed accurate, his judgment of people was fairly accurate.

Gu Yun didn't mind chatting with him for a few more minutes.

He feigned surprise but uncertainty, and said while resting his chin on his hand.

"Why don't you share your thoughts first?"

A glint flashed in Shang Wenqing's eyes, and an inexplicable confidence welled up on his face as he began to make wild associations.

"Judging from the uniqueness you have shown as a demon envoy, I think you must be different from other demon envoys. You do not intend to follow the style of going it alone, but rather to expand your own power."

"But it is different from the religious form of divine messengers that is based on divine authority. Judging from your current investment direction, it seems more like an organization, a community of interests. However, an organization driven by interests is ultimately a disorganized mess. I don't know how you will connect the members of the organization into a cohesive whole."

Gu Yun nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

That seems to be true. However, I have only been in this world for less than a week. As for whether I have considered building my own power, I definitely have.

But whether it was as Shang Wenqing said or not, he hadn't considered it that deeply.

Golden currents flowed gently among the people traveling together.

A moment later, two small cups filled with tea were steadily passed from inside the carriage to the two people.

This expressed Gu Yun's most basic politeness.

"Xiao Di, please continue."

"Xiao Di?"

"Nothing, you continue."

The means of transportation in the Canglan Empire were not too surprising to Gu Yun; they were basically nothing more than beast-drawn carriages.

Whether it flies in the sky or runs on the ground.

There seem to be purely mechanical, air-powered spaceships, but he hasn't seen one yet.

The beasts in the human realm are mostly exotic beasts. Although their life rank varies, there are no exotic beasts at the level of a holy body.

Because few mythical beasts in the human realm possess intelligence, the lack of intelligence means it is difficult to achieve spiritual advancement and reach the standard for breakthrough.

From a mortal body to a supreme body, one might still break through by chance through consuming rare and precious materials or other opportunities.

But it is impossible for the Holy Body to be without intelligence.

However, sentient beasts were no longer called beasts; people called them "demons".

Most demons reside in the demon realm.

Shang Wenqing raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped his wet lips with his clothes, showing no trace of the demeanor of a magnanimous person.

Gu Yun preferred this one.

"It seems that you are cooperating with the Ji family, but I think you should be investing more in Ji Ning than in the Ji family. Just like Miss Hongxiu, you are focusing on the point rather than the whole picture."

"Because the Ji family is ultimately a clan, the internal voices are too chaotic, and it is impossible for them to be of one mind with you. Even if you use force to make them feel awe for a while, it is too fragile."

"As for whether Ji Ning can become the head of the Ji family and generate greater additional benefits at the family level, it depends on himself and also on your investment focus."

"So I speculate that you are currently building an elite organization, not relying on quantity to create momentum, but rather on each member being a hero in their own right."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, stopped in his tracks, and re-examined Shang Wenqing.

They seemed eager to thoroughly understand Shang Wenqing.

Unlike his rather rough appearance, he seemed to have his own vision in his heart, a vision that resonated with him.

In other words, Gu Yun only had a prototype, a foundation.

However, they had already conceived and considered this aspect extensively, and the framework of the skyscraper was basically formed, which could be directly fitted onto the base that fit them.

As for why he didn't carry it out himself, Gu Yun didn't know.

Gu Yun only knew that if such a person were born in ancient times on Earth, they would either be highly valued or eliminated.

Following Shang Wenqing's suggestion, Gu Yun showed a slight expression of surprise and said with considerable composure.

"Your analysis is indeed correct, and I was also planning to do the same thing. So, are you saying you want to join as well?"

Shang Wenqing shook his head happily, not hearing any objection in Gu Yun's words.

"No, it wasn't me, it was Zhan'er."

"If the Demon Envoy establishes an organization, please let my son join. Merchants are different from other families. Although people say that merchants are like demons, prioritizing profit above all else."

"But rest assured, Demon Envoy, the Shang family is united and speaks with one voice. Zhan'er will surely inherit everything from the Shang family, and besides, her own talent is not bad..."

"If Your Excellency agrees to let Zhan'er join, we, the merchants, will definitely stand on the same side as you and do our best to support and help you!"

"Whether it's manpower, material resources, or financial resources, as long as it's within the company's capabilities, we are willing to provide the strongest support to the Demon Envoy!"

In Shang Wenqing's eyes, Gu Yun keenly caught a few fleeting hints of urgency.

They rushed to throw out their chips, and even increased their chips, without even fully explaining the basic situation of their son's business battles.

Gu Yun didn't try to probe further; there was no need.

"Shang Wenqing? Right? To be honest, I don't quite understand. You seem a bit anxious, like you're grasping at a straw."

"You didn't even ask me what price I would have to pay. It's as if you would grant me any price I asked for at this moment."

"What is your purpose? Why have you gone to this extent?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Wenqing's determination only intensified, and he slowly moved closer to Gu Yun.

It was as if what was about to be said was a closely guarded secret, something that no one else could hear.

Gu Yun felt ashamed and pushed away the "high-heat object" that was approaching him.

"Is your eighth-level Holy Body fake?"

"It's not that as long as the other party doesn't resist with their qi or others disrupt their qi, a body-bound user can achieve one-way sound transmission; it just needs to be transmitted to the other party's body through the resonance of qi..."

Shang Wenqing scratched his head somewhat ashamed.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Demon Envoy. My cultivation level is built on wealth. To be honest, I probably can't even beat someone who has just entered the seventh level of the Holy Body. That's why my Shadow Guards follow me all the time."

“I usually have to manage such a large business, so I don’t have much time to systematically learn... I haven’t used the voice transmission function in a long time, please wait a moment while I try it.”

He then beckoned to the shadow guards lurking in the shadows and whispered to them how to transmit their voices.

Gu Yun laughed awkwardly twice.

This business is truly extraordinary.

Can you really build up a Saint Body Level 8 just by spending money?

Although it's unknown how Shang Wenqing achieved the required level of mental strength.

However, one thing should be confirmed.

That means the merchant is indeed the most needed help at this stage, if the following words do not offend him.
