C154

The Medicine Alliance was a transcendent power that was beyond the three great countries, not to mention that its members were all respected alchemists. Why would Dongfang Bo say that it would be extremely inconvenient for him to travel within the Beitang Kingdom alone, even though he was a pharmacist from the Sacred Gate? Could it be that Beitang is hostile towards the Medicine League? However, the main hall of the Medicine Alliance was located in Beitang County.

"I know that you want to ask why it would be inconvenient for the Medicine Alliance's identity to stay in Beitang City?" Dongfang Bo said with a smile as he looked at the azure sun.

Qingyang nodded. Indeed, he had always thought that as the Medicine League's inner sect alchemist, as long as he wore this set of clothes, he would be able to go to a secret location. However, most prefectures and counties were still possible.

"I thought the status of the Medicine League was unobstructed no matter where you go." After muttering to himself in a low voice, Qingyang appeared extremely confused.

"Actually, if it was a few months ago, it would have been alright. It is indeed as you have said. The status of the 'Medicine Alliance' is extremely popular regardless of where you are." Dongfang Bo nodded and explained, "But since three years ago, for some reason, Beitang has refused the invitation of the Medicine League to enter the Beitang. Even if they did enter the Beitang, they would still be questioned and investigated. In the end, not many people were able to enter."

Three years ago? Wasn't it during the battle for the dragon and phoenix? Why did Beitang suddenly refuse the entry to the Medicine Association? Could it be that Brother Hai Fan was murdered in Nanxiong? But he himself had never heard of it.

"The Medicine Alliance has also asked about this before. However, Beitang and Nan Rong are, after all, opposing each other. Thus, they decided not to interfere. The Medicine Alliance opened their eyes and closed them. However, Beitang chose to do as he pleases." With a low sigh, Dongfang Bo spoke up, "I think it might be because there is a South Honor Medicinal Master using this identity to spy on Beitang. That's why we were captured and brought back to Beitang like this."

Originally, the Medicine Alliance's rule was to not interfere in the affairs of the three kingdoms, and only to refine medicine, treat illness, and save others. However, the Medicine Alliance's principle was to not interfere in the affairs of the three kingdoms.

Otherwise, Beitang would not have started to refuse the Southern Rongshi's entry without any reason. According to the strength of the Medicine Alliance and the prestige of the people above the Nine Provinces, he would definitely not allow the actions of Beitang to be ignored.

Even if they protested, it would be of no use if they refused to accept it. In the end, the Medicine League was able to make the righteous and indignant medicine masters stand guard over the Medicine Association branch in every county. Only after the annual event of the Medicine Association, which was held once every two years, would medicine masters from the Medicine Alliance step into the territory of the Northern Tang Kingdom.

"Then what identity did Uncle Dongfang arrange for me?" After all, if the status of the Medicine Association was not good enough, he would give it up. After all, he only wanted this identity in order to travel in the future.

"Hoho, actually, other than the pharmacists, there is another identity in the Nine Provinces. Although it cannot receive the kind treatment from the pharmacists, it can still go unhindered." With a faint smile, Dongfang Bo glanced at Qingyang and said, "That's the Chamber of Commerce."

"Chamber of Commerce?" Qingyang's eyes lit up. Wasn't the Dongfang family a merchant guild? Could it be that Dongfang Bo wanted to arrange for him to be placed in Beitang's Chamber of Commerce?

"That's right. Even though the countries above the Nine Provinces are hostile to each other, trade cannot be interrupted. Even if the status of the Medicine Alliance is restricted, the status of merchants is not a problem." Nodding his head, Dongfang Bo continued, "Although my Dongfang family is a salt merchant, we are only trading in the Land of South Rong. In the land of the Nine Prefectures, we are not considered a big merchant house."

In Qing Yang's eyes, the Dongfang family's business was extremely big, controlling almost half of the salt production and mining business in the Kingdom of South Rong. In Nan Rong's eyes, the Dongfang family's business was extremely big, controlling almost half of the salt production and mining in the State of South Rong.

"Haha, Qingyang, don't think too much. I'm preparing to arrange for you to join the Fuan Chamber of Commerce. Recently, there will be a caravan from the Dong An Manor that will be transporting Nong Rong's silk back to the Northern Tang County. The person who will be leading this group is my old friend." Dongfang Bo could guess what Qingyang was thinking just by laughing loudly.

"Fuan Chamber of Commerce? What is that? " Qing Yang stared blankly at Dongfang Bo. He was puzzled and asked about the merchant guild that Dongfang Bo had mentioned before.

"In fact, no matter what industry it is, there will always be a rarely known side to outsiders. Perhaps ordinary people might not have heard of this Fuan Trading Company, but for merchants or trading companies, it is a very famous existence." After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Bo smiled and said, "Just like your Medicine Alliance. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The position of the Fuan Chamber of Commerce in the business world was equal to that of the Medicine League. This Fuan Chamber of Commerce was most likely a transcendent existence as well.

"But isn't there a spy under the banner of a merchant who can pry out information?" Since someone had been arranged to join the Medicine League, shouldn't it be easier to enter the Fuan Chamber of Commerce?

"There are indeed people disguised as merchants who are spying on us." Dongfang Bo nodded and smiled, "And it's quite a few."

He was slightly taken aback, but Qingyang became even more confused, "Then why aren't the other countries restricting the entrance and exit of Fuan Chamber of Commerce's people? Isn't it obvious that he is sending out information about his own country? "

After sipping a mouthful of tea, Dongfang Bo didn't answer Qingyang's question. Instead, he asked, "Since the medicine masters of the South Rong Country won't be joining Beitang, does Beitang not have any medicine masters?"

Qing Yang shook his head. He naturally knew that no matter where the countries were, they all had their own alchemists. The Pill Alliance only gathered the outstanding alchemists from their respective countries together.

"But if no merchants brought silk, silk, and tea from Nanxiong to Beitang, then where did the silk and tea come from?" After Dongfang Bo asked this question, Qingyang immediately understood what happened.

If countries restricted the Chamber of Commerce from trading, then there would be many luxury goods, specialties, and even daily necessities that could not be supplied normally. Although the Chamber of Commerce was even more chaotic, it was different from the pharmacists in the Medicine League.

"So that's how it is. No wonder, under such circumstances, the Fuan Chamber of Commerce is unhindered in the two countries as well." If Qingyang didn't understand Dongfang Bo's words, then he was really stupid.

"Tonight, you will follow me to the Red Crane House. I will lead you to get to know the managers of this caravan. After all, you need their help on your journey." Dongfang Bo smiled and said, "But you can't call me Uncle Dongfang then. Just call me Brother Dongfang."

Dongfang Bo spent most of his time in the shopping mall, so naturally, he was very familiar with these things. After arranging Qingyang to not greet his old friends, he still needed Qingyang to get acquainted with a few people. After getting familiar with Qingyang, the caravan would naturally take good care of Qingyang.

Who knew if the caravan had a merchant installed in the South Honor Family? It was highly likely that Qingyang's identity would be exposed with the title of Uncle Dongfang.

"Just like what Uncle Dongfang said. Oh, that's not right, Brother Dongfang." He cupped his hands and bowed. Qingyang smiled lightly and said, "Fuan Chamber of Commerce? "Interesting."
