Chapter 817 Crazy Idea
The Nine Thearchs Clans clearly knew about the things happening on Sin Island, but Jiang Yi didn’t have any understanding about the things happening with the Nine Thearchs Clans. Not even Situ Yixiao was qualified to know about such information. Hence, Jiang Yi didn’t know that a woman that he hated to the core had successfully convinced Wu Ni and had become the new Hall Master for the Martial Arts Hall’s Sin Hall.
Jiang Yi had a rather good time as he didn’t have to worry about anything while staying in Situ Courtyard. He cultivated his essence force, comprehended sorcery arts, and fused dao patterns during the day while he improved his painting skill and accompanied everyone during the night. He had enriching and contenting days.
His only regret was that Su Ruoxue was still on the East Imperial Continent. Also, it had been some time, but there was still no news of Yi Piaopiao. Jiang Yi would feel inwardly dispirited whenever he thought about them.
For the recent few months, Qian Wanguan had only come back once. Everyone was surprised as Qian Wanguan had lost a lot of weight. He was originally almost 100 kilograms but was now only about 80 kilograms. He looked fatigued, but his tiny eyes were filled with excitement and confidence while his body naturally revealed a dictatorial manner which was nurtured after giving orders for a long period of time.
Jiang Yi felt very gratified, and he didn’t have to ask how Qian Wanguan was doing. At least from the aura of Qian Wanguan’s body, he was working hard and growing, which was sufficient. Qian Wanguan didn’t say much and had a light conversation with Jiang Yi. He knew that Jiang Yi didn’t like to talk about businesses, and such things couldn’t be explained with just one or two statements either.
Feng Lun, Qing Yu, and Yun Fei did advise Qian Wanguan to continue slimming down. If he wanted to conquer Situ Yinian, capability and achievements were a factor; but his appearance mustn’t just be barely passable either. Qian Wanguan’s facial features look fine, but he was simply fat like a pig. Any other woman wouldn’t find him pleasant-looking either.
Qian Wanguan groveled as he walked away while Zhan Wushuang’s eyes revealed a trace of bitterness. Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan were flourishing, but he—who was the current successor of the Battle God Race—still remained at the fifth stage of Vajra Realm. This talent might be very powerful on the Stellarsky Continent, but it wasn’t considered anything in Stellarsky Domain.
Jiang Yi had detected that something was wrong with Zhan Wushuang’s state of mind, but he didn’t give any advice. Zhan Wushuang had to rely on himself for such things, and Jiang Yi believed that the successor of the Battle God Race wouldn’t be so mediocre.
Jiang Yi walked into the room and continued to cultivate. Recently, his fifth star sphere had already reached half-capacity, and he reckoned that it would transform in half a year. After the Destitute Dragon Grass had reformed his body constitution, he didn’t have any bottleneck during the cultivation of his essence force. If he could continue transforming the star spheres one after the other—when all his nine star spheres transformed, he would be able to crush a lot of people just with his powerful essence force, even if his dao pattern didn’t make any progress.
He was a little vexed as his dao pattern fusion wasn’t making any progress. The Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno did make some progress, but his Fire Cloud Armor didn’t have any signs of spiritual connection even after he nourished it with the power of stars.
He had a Mother Earth Armor and a Primal Chaos Iron Ruler which he trained to refine, but it was a pity that they too didn’t make any spiritual connection. He had sought advice from Huangfu Taotian, but the latter said that something like spiritual connection actually... depended on luck. There were no techniques or methods. Hence, Jiang Yi had no choice but to put it aside first.
For the past few months, Jiang Yi obtained more than a dozen soul swords from the monthly God’s Sob. After deducting all those that had been destroyed previously, he now had more than 30 soul swords. He would also occasionally research on the Divine Sound Heaven Skill, but this it was already heaven-defying to comprehend such things, making it extremely difficult to advance to the next level.
After some consideration, he went back to his initial routine and cultivated his essence force while comprehending the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno. He was planning to decide again after his fifth star sphere transformed.
...
Recently, Gods Bestow City had been rather peaceful. The only thing that everyone was discussing enthusiastically was the establishment of Situ Merchant Association.
After the Green Bird Merchant Association merged into the Situ Merchant Association, all the businesses under the Green Bird Merchant Association had been taken over by Situ Clan. All the Heaven Fate Ships were hung with the Situ Clan’s flag, and the prices had been reduced by 50% while the number of Heaven Fate Ships had doubled.
Due to the military deterrence of the Situ Clan and the destruction of the four bandit legions, the safety of the Situ Clan’s Heaven Fate Ships was absolute. The Situ Clan didn’t have to pay any toll to the bandit legions, and so the profits were maintained even though their prices decreased.
At the same time, the Situ Clan made an announcement. Those who rode the Situ Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship didn’t have to pay celestial stones to enter Gods Bestow City. In other words... the celestial stones required for entering the city had been paid by the Situ Clan!
After this news was out, the entire Gods Bestow Tribe was in a huge sensation as they thought the Situ Clan had gone mad. They had already reduced the price by 50%, now they were even paying the city entrance fee, too? Wasn’t this allowing the bandits free entry into Gods Bestow City?
The fact had proven it!
This was a genius idea as the Situ Clan’s Heaven Fate Ships were absolutely safe and so cheap while also allowing free entry to the city. Countless bandits had all rode on the Heaven Fate Ships and entered Gods Bestow City to take a look. Putting everything else aside... just the entry into Gods Bestow City was already a kind of honor, wasn’t it? Furthermore, the heaven and earth essence force was shockingly dense in Gods Bestow Island, it was much faster for them to cultivate in the Heaven Fate Ships than on the outside.
Thus, the Situ Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship’s business was so good that it was bursting, and those that wanted to ride on the Heaven Fate Ship had to queue up in advance.
After entering the city, everyone had to buy or sell something, right? Seeing how generous the Situ Clan was, everyone naturally believed the Situ Clan’s merchant association. As a result, the Situ Clan’s merchant association had a few folds increment in transactions.
The Situ Clan’s merchant association would also come out with plenty of fancy tricks like a Grateful Day which was held every month when all the things in the Situ Merchant Association would be at half-price. Another instance was the appearance of the Situ Money Bank in the Situ Merchant Association, where everyone’s celestial stones and treasures could be stored in the Situ Money Bank. The Situ Clan would issue a token to a customer, and apart from this person, only people with direct bloodlines with this person could retrieve the celestial stones and treasures inside. Furthermore, when someone stored their celestial stones and treasures inside, they would be able to obtain a large sum of interest.
After the Situ Money Bank appeared, all the bandits went insane!
When the bandits were outside, they might perish at any moment. No matter how much celestial stones and treasures they had, it wasn’t safe; and they might become another person’s possession. If they were to store the celestial stones and the treasures in their Situ Money Bank and if they got killed, their descendants would be able to retrieve the wealth. There were even interests? This was a fatal attraction to them.
Of course... some people did consider that the Situ Clan might scam their celestial stones and treasures, but they didn’t have any other way. After some small rumors spread out, many people chose to trust the Situ Clan.
There were plenty of small rumors like Situ Ao making a Divine Blood Vow outside the merchant association, saying that apart from the Situ Clan getting destroyed, the Situ Money Bank would never close down. Or rumors like the Situ Clan which had been around for more than 700,000 years, and as one of the guardian deities of the Gods Bestow Tribe, they would never break their promises... or rumors like the three old monster of the Situ Clan had personally given their guarantee.
There wasn’t a need to guess to know that it was Qian Wanguan to send out his men to spread these rumors. The Situ Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship and many fancy tricks were all thought out by him. After many people stored and retrieved the celestial stones and treasures and didn’t find any problems, many people in Gods Bestow Tribe had accepted the Situ Money Bank.
Qian Wanguan used just a few months and made the Situ Merchant Association earn huge profits, allowing him to successfully plant his feet in the Situ Clan. Qian Wanguan’s name had once again echoed throughout Gods Bestow Tribe.
There was something even more amazing... Qian Wanguan spent one month to successfully convince eight of the 13 Clans as they were preparing to work together and form a new merchant association. Among the eight clans was the Huangfu Clan. This new merchant association’s target was the East Imperial Continent.
In other words, Qian Wanguan felt that there wasn’t enough money to be earned in the Gods Bestow Tribe; and he wanted to earn the East Imperial Continent’s money. After earning the money, they would buy more pseudo-divine artifacts from the East Imperial Continent and recruit even more experts. They would then topple the regimen of the Nine Thearchs Clans on the East Imperial Continent and finally allowing the 13 Clans to reside in East Imperial Continent and dominate the Stellarsky Domain.
This idea was very crazy, but the eight clans actually went crazy along with Qian Wanguan.
