Chapter 88: Who is Lu Ren?

Chapter 88: Who is Lu Ren?

Lu Ren?

Passerby!

What kind of strange name was this!

He was clearly a strange passerby. He had saved Yun Yao several times and easily changed the Yun Family's cultivation technique. These two meaningless act to him had saved the Yun Family's life!

How could Yun Tianhe not thank him?

The most terrifying thing was that from Yun Yao's description, this so called passerby was only a less than eighteen year old wet behind the year brat!

A little brat that wasn't even eighteen yet he could rush through the ten thousand corpse ancient tomb and could save Yun Yao's life from the terrifying Corpse King's hands.

To save Yun Yao.

He didn't hesitate to use an incomparably precious Good Fortune Pill!

This was a very generous thing to do. Even to high levelled Awakened Soul Cultivators, the Good Fortune Pill was still a life saving pill. It wouldn't be used unless in life threatening situations, but this Lu Ren had treated it like candy.

What was he thinking?

Yun Tianhe quickly asked, "Did you bring him with you to Central State? I have to personally pay him a visit. Not only is he your saviour, but he is also the benefactor of our Central State Yun Family!"

The Central State Academy's vice principal.

The sect master of the Yun School.

How many people in Central State City wish to build relations with him? There were countless Southern Summer Country scholars that would give up everything just to learn from him.

At this moment.

This kind of highly respected character was about to pay a visit to a nameless brat?

Yun Yao sighed and said, "This person's personality is very strange, everything he does is dependant on his mood. Even when he was improving my cultivation technique, that was only because he found it interesting. This kind of person, how could I restrain him."

Because he found it interesting?

This was truly enough to anger someone to death!

Yun Tianhe had spent five years using all his strength to fail at this, but this brat had done it because he found it interesting. He had saved the Yun Family just because he found it interesting!

Yun Tianhe's heart burned with impatience as he said, "He saved you and guided you with your cultivation, then your relationship must be good? Is he interested in you? You should know how to contact him, where does he live?"

"Grandfather!" Yun Yao's face turned red, "You're mistaken! I already said it. This person's behaviour, it can't be measured with common sense! Our relationship is not good and we even have a grudge!"

"Have a grudge?"

"I...I offended him!"

Yun Yao didn't have any ways. She could only tell him about what happened before entering the ancient tomb, wanting to force him to do what she wanted and how she wanted him to act as bait. She could only tell him all of it.

"Heavens!" Yun Tianhe was so angry he almost spat out blood as he flew into a rage and said, "What did you do! This kind of rare talent, how could you be so disrespectful to him! Misfortune upon our family! Misfortune upon our family!"

Yun Yao stared, she wasn't convinced as she said, "Who knows whether he's a rare talent? It wasn't written on his face! Moreover he looks like...what he looks like I don't even remember anymore. This kind of person no matter what will look like a country bumpkin!"

Yun Tianhe's face was dejected.

This kind of words, it was falling in one's own pit!

For Yun Yao to have this kind of temperament, it was all because the Yun Family didn't raise her properly. Using her strength to bully the weak, in the end she had offended this kind of unprecedented rare talent!

What Yun Tianhe admired was that this Lu Ren didn't hold a grudge. And perhaps to him it was a small effort but to the Yun Family, what he did was a heavenly gift.

Indifferent to fame and fortune, free and uninhibited. This was the style of a true expert!

Yun Tianhe secretly decided, no matter what kind of price he had to pay or how much effort it would be, he would definitely find this person!

While Yun Tianhe was prepared to ask more thoroughly.

A steward rushed in, "Master, there is a letter!"

"I won't look!" Yun Tianhe's mood went up and down, how could he have the heart to look. He impatiently waved his hand, "Withdraw."

The steward's head dripped with sweat as he said, "But...this letter comes from No Worries Valley..."

Yun Tianhe knit his brows and took the letter to read it. His expression changed and he quickly said to Yun Yao, "I need out for a bit, you rest up first. Keep the things that happened these past few days a secret, no one else can know."

After Yun Tianhe finished, he boarded a horse carriage and left.

From the Yun Family to leaving the city, he went around several tens of li away to a secluded valley.

Outside the valley, it was completely ordinary, but that changed once you entered the valley. The high waterfalls, the hundred flowers in bloom, everywhere there were elixirs growing and all kinds of rare bird and beast trails could be seen.

Yun Tianhe had no time to admire it as he went to the center of the valley. Standing before a hut, he respectfully bowed down from the waist, "Old man Yun Tianhe pays his respects to the marquis!"

"Old Yun, no need to be so courteous, please come in."

A relaxed and elegant male voice came from the hut.

A sturdy man walked out and looked at Yun Tianhe with respect and excitement, "This small one is Xiang Hu, I am a newly enrolled student of the marquis. I ask Head Yun to follow me in."

He could be accepted by that man as a disciple, this brat had some good fortune!

The hut was simply decorated, there was a beautiful ancient guqin in the middle. A man wearing a loose robe and with long flowing hair was sitting in front of the guqin. His eyes were bright and sharp, he had a kind of elegant gentleman aura.

Yun Tianhe respectfully sat down, "For the marquis to be this hurried in finding me, that must mean….."

"Naturally it is for Cai Er." The marquis gave a gentle smile, "What are you still hiding for, quickly come out and say hello to Old Yun."

A rainbow coloured clothed girl danced out. Picturesque eyebrows, snow like skin, and a beautiful face covered in a gauze. This was a kind of beauty found in a dream, it truly made people surprised.

"Feng Caidie has seen Elder Yun."

That quiet and gentle voice seemed like an orchid blooming in an empty valley, it made people feel comfortable.

Yun Tianhe stroked his long white beard, "This old man truly envies marquis, Cai Die becomes more beautiful every year, only...Ai!" Yun Tianhe suddenly sighed.

The entire Central State City knew.

Feng Caidie had an inborn blocked meridian, she could not cultivate. This kind of unsolvable problem, even with Yun Tianhe's knowledge, he was still at a lost. The marquis suddenly inviting him here, he didn't know what for.

The marquis handed over a scroll with a formula, "Recently Cai Die has gone to the black market and ran into a mysterious expert, he left this formula behind for Cai Er. Old Yun please take a look."

Yun Tianhe received the formula and took a look.

"Hiss!"

Yun Tianhe's eyes popped out, almost as if they were about to fall out.

"This unheard of ancient formula, wonderful, it is too wonderful!"

The marquis' spirit shook, "Old Yun's meaning is, this formula will have an effect?"

Yun Tianhe's face turned red as he said, "Based on this old man's experience, the success rate is very large, we can definitely give it a try. Moreover, even if we fail, this formula will not harm the body...Only, the main ingredient we need, it isn't easy to find in the Southern Summer Country."

"Is Elder Yun talking about the Blood Marrow Lingzhi?" Feng Caidie took out a bottle, "Before he left, he also gave me this thing!"

Yun Tianhe's pupils shrank, "This…..in the Southern Summer Country, how did you find this material? Young miss Cai Die, can you tell this old man, who is this expert you met?"

Feng Caidie gave a thought provoking smile, "In Elder Yun's heart, you have already guessed it right?"

"He...He's Lu Ren?"

Yun Tianhe obviously could guess, but he didn't believe it. Where did such a terrifying person appear from?

"Yes! It is this passerby!"

Yun Tianhe's brain turned blank!

Why was it him again?

This little brat not only helped Yun Yao fixed the flaw with her cultivation technique, but he never would have thought that he would also solve Feng Caidie's problem with her physique. Was there anything that he couldn't solve?

The middle aged man was very surprise, "What's wrong, do you also know this expert?"

"It goes beyond knowing, he is the benefactor of our family!"

After Yun Tianhe said this simple sentence.

The middle aged man revealed a shocked face, "Did Central State have someone who was even more knowledgeable than Old Yun?"

Yun Tianhe bitterly laughed, "This old man has bragged about his knowledge, but today it seems like I'm the one who was shortsighted. I am truly a frog in the well!"

From his daughter's description, the middle aged man was already a bit interested in this mysterious person.

Lu Ren?

Passerby?

This name was probably an alias!

Perhaps even his appearance would be a disguise!

After all, even his daughter Cai Die could use a disguise technique, how could this kind of person not know how to use one?

From the information his daughter brought back, this person was around 17-18 years old. He was free, easy and uninhibited, he owned a Netherworld Sword and raised a white fox pet....Although this wasn't a lot of information, but to find a person it was enough.

At least with his power and influence, it definitely wasn't a problem!

If he could cure his daughter, then he would owe him a big favour!

"Let us begin!"

Yun Tianhe and the middle aged man immediately began to collect the medicine. They started the treatment method and began to treat Feng Caidie.

...….

After a day.

Hong!

In the beautiful No Worries Valley, a wind storm suddenly blew away the clouds and an imposing aura shot out into the sky. The terrifying aura slowly condensed into a graceful and beautiful blue luan!

"Congratulations to the marquis!"

"Congratulations to the marquis!"

"A Blue Luan Source Spirit, it can be considered an excellent grade, only second to God Level Source Spirits!"

Yun Tianhe stood at the valley entrance, his face full of congratulations for the excited middle aged man.

On the face of the middle age man who didn't want to remarry, this was the first time a smile appeared. He laughed several times into the sky!

Too great!

This was truly too great!

He originally thought his daughter would be a normal person, but from now on it would be a new beginning as she rewrote her own destiny.

In these few years, he had spent quite a bit of effort and elixirs to forcefully infuse them into his daughter's body. From this he raised her strength to the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer.

This time, after her inborn blocked meridian was solved, all the spirit energy stored up inside her body had completely been absorbed by Feng Caidie. This allowed Feng Caidie's strength to increase in the blink of an eye to the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer.

This was a pleasant surprise!

The middle aged man waved his hand, "Cai Er needs to close up for a few days. We will close up the valley, anyone that comes close regardless of man or beast will all be killed!"

This voice was filled with power and strength.

Several shadows disappeared from the middle aged man's back.

The middle aged man said to Yun Tianhe, "Old Yun, many thanks for your help. This is large deed that needs to be celebrated, this marquis has not been this happy in this many years. Come, let's drink a bit!"

Yun Tianhe was also filled with happiness.

This wasn't only helping a famous person out, it also made him owe a favour. The most important thing was that this reason was enough to be considered a large harvest for the Yun Family. It helped relieve the pressure on Yun Tianhe's body of supporting the family.

If he didn't fulfil his mission.

Then after he died he wouldn't be worthy of meeting his ancestors.

This opportunity, it was all created by the passerby.

"Marquis!"

A man in black clothing appeared in the valley entrance.

The middle aged man knit his brows and asked, "What happened?"

"According to the news, something has happened in South Sky City."

The black clothed man reported the news in a low voice.

After the middle aged man heard the news he was a bit surprised, "Something like this has happened? Do the people of the city know?"

The black clothed man shook his head, "The news haven't been passed on completely and the various renowned families still don't know. The Chu and Ye Family have already received some rumours. However the Ye Wudao father and son combination, had gone to explore a ruin to the south and it will be at least several days before they can come back. And the Chu Family's Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe has entered into seclusion so they will not make any large moves."

The middle aged man nodded his head, "Since it's like this then just forget about it!"

"Yes!"

The black clothed man instantly withdrew.

"South Sky City, killing Ye Xiong..." The middle middle aged man thought for a bit and suddenly seemed like he thought of something. His eyes lit up and his mouth turned into a smile, "Come, let's drink, let's drink!"

Chapter 89: Guest Official

Ye Xiong had been killed.

Several elders had been wasted.

The military might of the South Sky City's Ye Family had greatly dropped!

Chu Tian's strength had exceeded the imagination of the two great families and the two families had paid a larger price than they expected. Add in the fact that the Ye Family main forces were not currently in Central State City, they had no way to take revenge on Chu Tian.

Nangong Yi's letter for help had already reached the Imperial City.

Once the Imperial City began to exert pressure on Central State City.

The Ye and Chu Families would have to stop moving against Chu Tian temporarily.

The next day.

The Wolf Fang Mercenaries announced their intent to leave.

The Ye Family had been in business in South Sky City for over ten years now. They monopolized the mercenary trade, they controlled the talisman business with Blackwater Commerce, and they teamed up with Li Changyun to control the medicine market. Their business had been booming and they made over ten million gold coins per year.

This kind of large pie, now they had no choice but to let it go.

Although it wouldn't cut into the bones of the Ye Family, it would still slice off some meat from them.

The Ye Family has used the mercenaries to be arrogant for many years and the Meng Family were just one of their victims. But the people didn't have any courage to say anything.

Now that this kind of miracle youth had appeared and ferociously slapped the Ye Family's face, hitting the Ye Family until they turned into this. The people of the city couldn't help but be happy, it was on the level of a celebration of a holiday.

...…

South Sky City.

The Mayor's Palace's garden.

Trees lined the area and a hundred flowers bloomed, beautiful maids were working on the shrubbery. A cool breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples on the mirror like surface. The waves sparkled from the light, it was exceedingly beautiful.

In the small cabin in the middle of the beautiful lake, a young person was playing chess with a middle aged person.

The more than ten black robed people were standing like statues around them!

Pa!

Chu Tian placed down a game piece, "Sir Mayor, you have lost!"

The little fox was taking a nap on his shoulder, using its little claws to give a yawn.

Nangong Yi looked at the board and gawked for a long time before giving a long sigh, "Your play style, from times it is majestic, from times it is light and elegant, from times it is powerful and straightforward, and from time it is underhanded. It is hard for people to imagine!"

Want to play chess with me?

Try again in another hundred years!

Nangong Yi put away the board and pieces, "Life is like chess, a single mistake will end everything, one needs to be prudent."

His words had reason, he didn't know whether it was because he sad about Ye Xiong's ending. All his crimes and his eventual retribution. Or if it was to warn Chu Tian to not cause more trouble. A single action could cause a lifetime of hate.

"The god of fate is also a player, the world is his board and all living things are his pieces. But how does he affect the pieces? Through heavenly knowledge and heaven's will!" Chu Tian also started putting the board and pieces away, as he slowly said, "Even if humans enter the chess game, they are unable to move the player's hands. Only by jumping off the board itself and going against the player can they do it."

Nangong Yi's heart slightly trembled.

Chu Tian's seemingly casual words, were actually very profound.

This youth was not as simple as he seemed, he had high ambitions that normal people had no way of understanding!

What was he actually thinking off?

Jumping off the chessboard, becoming the player and playing against fate?

What a joke. Victory and loses, life and death, whether you were talented, could you resist destiny? No matter how strong a person was, they would still die from old age. This was one of the inevitable things in life.

"Come!" Chu Tian did not explain anything, rather he enthusiastically said, "Let's play another game."

"I'll go first." Nangong Yi impolitely put down a game piece while his mouth said, "Your Miracle Commerce must be busy. You little brat wouldn't come to the Mayor's Palace to play chess for no reason. Say it, what do you want."

This old fox was quite shrewd.

"These words aren't correct." Chu Tian stretched out his back and once his body was relaxed he said, "Miracle Commerce is busy, but doesn't it have the young miss and your daughter? I just killed Ye Xiong and removed a large spiritual burden. Now my body and mind is calm and I should rest for a few days. You already know that I'm very stressed!"

"You're stressed? I can't see it! But don't think that the Ye and Chu Families are soft. You caused them a huge lose, you think they'll let you go?"

"Then how does the Mayor think I should deal with it?"

Nangong Yi stared at him with narrow eyes, "You already have your plans, why are you still asking me?"

"The Mayor truly is shrewd, I can't hide it." Chu Tian plainly said, "The Mayor can keep me safe in South Sky City, but to cope with the Central State Families, I need to find a larger family to protect me."

Nangong Yi's hand holding the chess piece trembled!

Does this brat want to borrow the Nangong Family's strength?

Then that would be too good. If he took this chance and reeled him in, then that would be a large merit to the family!

Nangong Yi didn't show his excitement as he slowly put down the chess piece, "Seems like you know what you need to do, I recommend to join the Nangong Family! This position has a high status and you can enjoy a large resource ration each month. Our family has large resources, there are even authoritative positions we can give you, it's a cheap deal for you!"

Joining the Nangong Family!

How many people dreamed of this

"Sir Mayor isn't thinking about trapping me right?" Chu Tian did not appreciate the kindness. He put down a chess piece, "Although this is tempting, but once I am branded with the Nangong Family's seal, in the future it would be hard to leave."

"You not knowing good from bad fellow, what do you still want?" The corner of Nangong Yi's eye twitched as he forcefully slammed a chess piece down, "The Nangong Family is one of the Three Large Families of the kingdom and we've inherited the phoenix bloodline. Is this not good enough for a deity like you?"

What kind of family?

With your kind of family, you still want to tie me down?

Actually when Chu Tian was still in the black market, he had already began to prepare for a rainy day

Why would he help Yun Yao improve her cultivation technique? Was Chu Tian truly that bored?

Chu Tian had taken the initiative to do this after completely understanding the Yun Family's situation. The goal was for the Yun Family to owe him a large favour, one that he could use in critical moments.

Giving Cai Die the cure was also done based on this logic. Cai Die's name was not a full name, but Chu Tian did not care what Cai Die's surname was or who her family was. But from her appearance, if she didn't belong to the Four Great Families, she would still not be from an ordinary background.

A relationship built and a speculative investment, to Chu Tian this was enough.

Now fishing for a relation with the Nangong Family, this was just to improve on perfection!

"You also know that I, Chu Tian am a hot tempered person. I don't like being tied down by people, with a single word I might go and beat someone up and they'll either be dead or wasted. To not bring trouble to the Nangong Family, I think we'll just forget about it." Chu Tian put down a game piece, "I, young miss, and Yingying all want a guest official position!"

"Are you sure you want to be a guest official?" Nangong Yi was a little dissatisfied as he said, "The guest official position doesn't have any power and doesn't receive any resources, it is basically an honorary title. Although the guest official can receive the Nangong Family's protection, it isn't easy to become one. They have to fulfill three large conditions."

"What kind of conditions? Tell them to me!"

"One, they have to at least have power comparable to the Awakened Soul Realm!"

"This is easily achievable!"

"Two, they need to make a large contribution to the Nangong Family."

"This is easily done!"

"Three, they need to be recommended by an elder!"

"I'll trouble the Mayor for this."

Once Nangong Yi heard this, he could only helplessly recognize the fact that he could not tie Chu Tian down. Then he'll be a guest official, at least he'll have some ties with the Nangong Family!

Chu Tian had an free and uninhibited personality, it was unlikely for him to be tied down.

"Awakened Soul Realm to me isn't that big of a deal." Chu Tian paused and took out a thick scroll from his chest, "I ask Sir Mayor to receive this."

Once Nangong Yi saw this thing, he braced himself, "This is..."

"I carefully calculated before and created an auxiliary spirit cultivation secret technique, it is now all written in the scroll." Chu Tian said this, "I think, this should count as a large contribution!"

"It counts, it counts! Of course it counts!"

Nangong Yi was delighted as he rushed to take it.

Although the content wasn't much and it only contained a few thousand characters.

Hidden pearls in each character, each sentence was like gold. Brief and straightforward, hidden truths were within.

Nangong Yi's eyebrows slightly wrinkled and then stretched out. His eyes flashes with wild joy as he put the scroll again and gave three loud laughs, "Good, good, good! Truly an unprecedented technique! With this as a stepping stone, it will be guaranteed that you'll become a guest official!"

There was no need to test it!

Nangong Yi only gave it a glance and could already feel the profoundness.

These few thousand words were priceless. Nangong Yi believed that he could practice his Divine Sense and at least entering into the "hyperfocus" realm wouldn't be a dream!"

Nangong Yi hid it like it was a treasured scroll, "The long time dream of this Mayor, there's finally hope to accomplish it! The elders of the family will be holding a meeting in a few days, I'll think of a way to mediate for you. We'll first set aside a guest official position and as long as you reach the Awakened Soul Realm, we'll immediately confer it to you!"

The Nangong Family Elders had the ability to confer the guest official position.

Nangong Yi currently was only a senior deacon.

Because the Nangong Family Elders, the weakest was still at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer!

Nangong Yi was only at the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, he didn't qualify to become an elder. He didn't have the ability to confer the guest official position. He could only wait for the family elders to convene in South Sky City and help Chu Tian solve this problem.

Chu Tian relaxed.

As long as he had the Nangong Family's glory.

The Ye, Chu, and Luo Families wouldn't be able to go against him.

The three families were local rulers of the Central State area, they were used to ruling by force. How could they allow sand in their eyes?

Chu Tian had fiercely trampled them. Regardless of whether it was for face or to let off some steam, they couldn't retreat now. Like a wild rhinoceros, it already couldn't stop itself!

The wasp nest Chu Tian poked grew larger and larger.

It was at the point where he was scared of nothing!

But after Yingying had been injured, Chu Tian had decided that he needed to find a backer. At least he could protect Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu, letting him feel a little better.

The matter of becoming a guest official for the Nangong Family, he should first take care of it.

Pa!

"Mayor, you've lost again!" Chu Tian put down another chess piece, "I've played enough, it's time for me to go back. Goodbye Sir Mayor!"

The Mayor looked at the board in a daze.

How was this little brat looking for someone to play with?

Both sides were on different skill levels!

Chu Tian coming to the Mayor's palace, it was all for the Nangong Family guest official status.

"Wait." Nangong Yi called.

Chu Tian turned his head and asked. "Is there a problem?"

Nangong Yi revealed an embarrassed expression, "I helped you with something, can you help me out with a small matter?"

Chu Tian saw Nangong Yi's expression, he could already guess in his heart, "Is it related to young miss Nangong?"

"That's right!" Nangong Yi had a troubled face as he said, "Yun Er has been invited by the Central State Academy for a while, but she isn't willing to go to Central State. This little girl doesn't listen to what I say and I'm afraid in South Sky City only you can convince her, don't you think..."

Chu Tian rubbed his chin as he pondered.

Nangong Yi continued, "I'll be honest, the Central State Academy has a deep relationship with the Nangong Family. She will be specially looked after at the Central State Academy and will receive many resources to cultivate with, this will be very important for her growth. So, in any case, we have to make her go there and train."

Nangong Yi had a depressed face.

It wasn't easy being a father.

Whoever has this kind of daughter would die before the age of fifty!

"I understand, leave it to me!"

Chu Tian had his own plans, so it was easy to help with this favour.

Nangong Yi reminded him, "This little girl is very rebellious, so don't force her or else she'll contradict you. Then this matter will become even harder to do."

"How hard is this?" Chu Tian gave a yawn, "In a day or two, Nangong Yun will not only take the initiative to go to Central State Academy, but she'll do it happily. At that time even if we pull her with fourteen horses, she still wouldn't come back!"

Nangong Yi was speechless.

Did he not know how exaggerated of a boast this was?

If we compared Nangong Yun's personality with yours, it actually goes beyond yours!

Chapter 90: The Central State vanguard

Chapter 90: The Central State vanguard

Chu Tian came back and treated everyone to a meal. Meng Qingwu was busy with the Commerce and Meng Yingying was secluded to stabilize her body so the two sisters did not come. But Zhang Liqing, Xiong Tianyan, and Nangong Yun had all come.

Nangong Yun casually walked over once she saw him, her arms went around Chu Tian's shoulders as she said, "Boss, you truly are destined to go against the heavens. A simple stroll brought you fame and fortune, congratulations, you've taken back face for our Miracle Commerce!"

"It's nothing!"

"But while you were out, we had to guard the Miracle Commerce. We didn't have a single good day."

"Of course I can't forget about your contribution!"

This time their backyard had been set on fire, but Miracle Commerce received no fundamental damage. This was all because of everyone guarding it, so he couldn't be stingy, he had to give everyone their share.

"Old Zhang, I've brought a gift back for you."

Chu Tian gallantly took out a heaven defying ginseng.

"The Black Jade Purple Marked Ginseng, purifies the body and also helps prolong life span. You're already an old man and your body has residual poison in it, if you take this you'll live another ten years."

Zhang Liqing's beard trembled.

This…..This is too precious!

Zhang Liqing had heard of this thing before. It had appeared in the Central State auction before and sold for at least several hundred thousand gold coins. Moreover it was something rarely encountered, even those with money couldn't buy it at will!

Chu Tian gave Xiong Tianyan a golden red lotus, "Thousand Year Lava Lotus. You just broke through to the Awakened Soul Realm, this thing can help stabilize your strength and increase your cultivation base by a step. Also, it should increase your ability to control fire, helping you increase your alchemy skills!"

Xiong Tianyan was also very shocked.

A thousand year elixir!

Where did Chu Tian obtain this from?

Seeing him be so generous, they had never seen anyone as generous as him!

He randomly gave out two things and these were things that Awakened Soul Cultivators would risk their life for!

What chivalry? What generosity?

This was simply family ruining behaviour!

Nangong Yun had just thoughtlessly said one sentence, she never thought Chu Tian had prepared this much. Immediately she anxiously said, "Then me? Then me? What kind of good things did you prepare for me!"

"Nangong, you aren't lacking anything, what kind of thing do you even need."

Nangong Yun's talent was the best out of all of them. Other people tried everything so they could break through and Nangong Yun kept purposely suppressing her own cultivation.

"What you say makes sense." Nangong Yun stroked her chin. She wasn't a person who suffered a loss. She suddenly looked around and saw the little fox on Chu Tian's shoulder, "Yi, this little animal is very cute. How about you let me play with it for two days?"

"Si!"

The little fox instantly stood up and its fur majestically stood up, it looked just like an angry lion.

Its sparkling eyes were filled with discontent. It stuck its claw out at Nangong Yun showing its strong protest!

"Aiyo! This little fellow can actually understand human language? Moreover its temperament is not small!" Nangong Yun's eyes shined, "I like it, I like it a lot. Let me play with it for two days."

Zhang Liqing and Xiong Tianyan were both scared silly!

Zhang Liqing said in amazement, "How is there such a clever demon beast under the heavens?"

Zhang Liqing didn't know that.

This was not just a simple spirit beast that could understand human nature, rather this was a spirit beast that had just been born that could understand human nature. Something newly born and already possessing this kind of intelligence, it was a unimaginable existence.

Also, it had been in the Corpse King's stomach for at least over ten thousand years.

Even with Chu Tian's knowledge he still couldn't guess what this thing was!

"I want to give you this little fox, but the cost to raise this fellow is quite high. If you want to use your family's property to support it, I'm afraid you'll lose everything!"

Chu Tian had a resigned look as he spoke.

The expenses for this fox were too high!

The little fox was not ashamed. Rather he was proud as he snorted.

"I don't care!" Nangong Yun was not happy, "Everyone has a gift! I want a gift too!"

Chu Tian had no ways to deal with this witch, but it was fortunate that he was prepared as he took out a small book from his chest, "I accidently obtained this cultivation technique, perhaps it'll be useful to you."

"Cultivation technique? It won't be better than my Nangong Family's «Burning the Heavens Art»!"

"What does the Burning the Heavens Art count for?" Chu Tian said, "This is called the «Great Nirvana Scripture». If it wasn't very compatible with your source spirit, you think I would want to take it out!"

This cultivation technique was brought back from thirty thousand years in the future!

But it wasn't created thirty thousand years later. Rather this cultivation technique came from an ancient era, but it had been improved over the ages and finally this strong cultivation technique was left behind.

Chu Tian hadn't brought many cultivations techniques with him. This «Great Nirvana Scripture» was one of the strongest one, it was not the slightest inferior compared to the «Starlight Immortal Body». Naturally it was also very hard to cultivate

With Nangong Yun's current condition, it was impossible for her to practice it. But if he gave it to her early and let her study it, it would bring her many benefits.

"Once you memorize it, burn it. This cultivation technique cannot be given to anyone else."

"Alright! I'll follow your orders! Many thanks Sir Chairman!"

Nangong Yun excitedly gave Chu Tian a large bear hug!

This trip.

Everyone was curious about it.

What kind of experiences did he have in the Yin Corpse Valley?

Chu Tian's experiences in the Yin Corpse Valley, he gave the general description for everyone.

"Then these are eighteen ancient grave Yin Corpses?" Zhang Liqing had an unbelievable face as he stared at the eighteen black robed people that stood like sculptures at the door, "I've never heard that Yin Corpses could be refined into weapons. This is truly technology I've never heard of before."

Chu Tian gave a disdainful light snort, "What's so difficult about it? It's only a small trick of refining away the brutal nature and only leaving a strong empty shell, that is your so called Corpse Soldier."

Xiong Tianyan had a face of regret, "If we could bring out a Corpse Monster, who would need to fear the Ye and Chu Family!"

Yin Corpse had to be refined to become Corpse Soldiers.

The Corpse Monsters Chu Tian had met in the floating coffins, they had all been naturally formed. These kinds of Corpse Monsters had not been refined, so there was no way to control them.

Moreover, these Corpse Monster's strength was too strong and Chu Tian's current strength was too weak. Even with the Soul Controlling Bell, it was hard to control them

Nangong Yun's face was filled with dissatisfaction, "Such an interesting adventure, you actually left this old lady out! Otherwise with this old lady's skills, I could fight against ten people in the ancient tomb!"

This sentence, Chu Tian believed.

This witch's strength wasn't exaggerated!

The God Level Phoenix Source Spirit's destructive might was frightening.

Let alone, Nangong Yun had already practiced the Starlight Immortal Body so it could be said she had strong defense and attack. Yun Yao and the bronze masked old man were both people with strong cultivation, but inside the ancient tomb they still couldn't win against Nangong Yun.

But they couldn't blame Chu Tian, the adventure in the ancient tomb ruins was an accident.

The gifts had been given!

Now was the time to talk business.

Everyone returned to their seats and Chu Tian asked, "Everyone please tell me the current situation of the company!"

"Relax, I've personally taken control. The restaurant was not affected that much, business came naturally and the income was stable, we made around twenty to thirty thousand gold coins per day."

Each month's minimal profit was around six hundred thousand?

This was a truly unbelievable performance!

"South Sky City has two hundred thousand cultivators, a single source energy restaurant is not enough." Nangong Yun proudly said, "We should increase the number of branch stores and swallow the entire South Sky City market. It wouldn't be difficult to gain around several million gold coins per month!"

Not bad, truly not bad!

This was simply a money tree!

Chu Tian asked, "What is the situation with Southern Cloud Commerce?"

Xiong Tianyan had a bright smile, "Relax, young miss Meng is overseeing it. I've also invited a few reliable alchemist to enter the company. We've been storing materials through many channels and have been refining night and day. We're finally ready to open."

Xiong Tianyan took out a pill, "Take a look at this!"

"Is this a Qi Refining Pill?"

"That's right, this is a Qi Refining Pill that the masters have made. Right now we have over a hundred pills. I guarantee that we'll create a large stir in the city and earn a large profit."

Zhang Liqing said, "The situation with the talisman store is around the same. Right now we've stockpiled several kinds of new talismans. As long as we open our store, they'll earn us quite a profit."

The Ye Family had suffered heavily losses. South Sky City's talisman and pill markets were currently facing a shortage. Once Southern Cloud Commerce made their move, they would definitely make large progress!

Although the Chu and Ye Families' retaliation was menacing.

But since Chu Tian had hurried back, Miracle Commerce had not suffered that big of a loss.

Meng Qingwu had secretly stored large amounts of crude crystal oil and was now preparing to mass produce batteries. The electric lamps were already being mass produced, as long as Miracle Commerce was prepared, they could instantly start doing business.

Chu Tian was very please with the company's progress.

This adventure had yielded a lot of money, but for this money to be spent, wouldn't it only take a minute?

Chu Tian had to plant a money tree, to deal with his cultivation costs and to provide strong materials so he would not have to worry about anything!

Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, "Since the South Sky City situation is dealt with, we should now plan how to charge into Central State City!"

Central State City?

That was an unbelievable place!

South Sky City was only a normal city and Central State was a large city with over a million cultivators. It had the highest concentration of spiritual energy in the county. Regardless of Heaven and Earth Treasures, or resources, Central State had the best available in the Southern Summer Country.

Chu Tian said, "Central State is very populated, there are over a million cultivators there. There are six to seven times more people compared to South Sky City and there are over ten times the resources compared to South Sky City. If we want to eat up this market, Miracle Commerce needs to grow into a first class company within the country!"

Nangong Yun laughed, "You talk too much! I wanted to do this for a long time! I already mentioned to sister Qingwu, but she said the time wasn't right yet."

Zhang Liqing knitted his brows, "I also think that this is a little too early."

"No, everything must be saved for a rainy day. Although our main focus will be on South Sky City, we can still form a strong vanguard."

"Vanguard?"

Chu Tian rubbed his chin, his face was awkward as he said, "This person not only needs to be trusted enough to be our backbone, they also need enough strength, quick wits, and skill. They will build a foundation for us, now who should we pick?"

"Choose shit!" Nangong Yun didn't even think about it, "I'll go!"

Zhang Liqing was a little worried, "Central State contains many enemies. If Yun Er singlehandedly rushes over, isn't this very dangerous?"

"Hai, what danger?" Nangong Yun had a disdainful expression, "Right now even if it was a 1st Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator, I still wouldn't put them in my eye. Let alone the fact that I can rush into the Awakened Soul Realm whenever I want, how could they cope with me that easily? My father keeps urging me to go to Central State everyday. If I do go, I can even bring my family's army with me. At that time with an entire army, I'm the most suitable person to be the vanguard!"

Nangong Yun's argument was strong!

This was a golden opportunity to perform a large merit!

She was afraid Chu Tian wouldn't agree so she said, "The Nangong Family doesn't have a high standing in the Central State military or politics, but we do have backing in the Central State Academy. If I go to Central State then I'll have the student status to protect me and I can take advantage of the Central State Academy's resources. Regardless of safety or any other aspect, I'm clearly the most suitable person!"

Nangong Yun was very powerful herself!

The status of a super talent of the Nangong Family could cancel out thoughts that other people had of dealing with her!

"Since Nangong is willing to volunteer, how could I not support you?" Chu Tian stood up and raised a cup for Nangong Yun, "I'll first raise this cup in respect to you, I wish you a safe journey!

Nangong Yun straight up drained a cup and wiped her mouth as she said, "Leave it to me!"

"A person going to Central State alone will need funds." Chu Tian didn't even think before speaking, "I've asked Meng Qingwu, Miracle Commerce has around one million gold coins, you can take all of it as operating expenses!"

Recently with the large consumption of meteor grass, refining pills, refining talismans, and investing in a new restaurant, the company did not have a lot of extra money.

"What? One million gold coins!" Nangong Yun had been so touched that she almost fell over, "This...this is too much!"

"Much? Not at all! One million gold coins is enough to accomplish a lot in South Sky City, but if it was used in Central State City, it wouldn't even be enough to create a splash on the large pond."

"Chu Tian is right." Zhang Liqing nodded his head, "Central State City can't be compared to South Sky City!"

Chu Tian continued, "Don't be hasty, this is money that the company is giving you for you to buy cultivation materials to practice your cultivation technique. Moreover, the company is lacking in manpower. With money you can do things, you can use it to recruit some trustworthy people. Obtaining people and territory for the company, building a foundation. Wait for us to come over and then we can accomplish earth shattering things."

Was a million gold coins too much?"

This depended on the situation.

This kind of money to an individual, it was enough for a Body Refinement Cultivator to live without worry for food or clothing. Even to a preliminary stage Awakened Soul Cultivator, this was still a very large sum of money!

But to a faction with power, to a large scale company, this was only one hair of nine oxen.

When talking about a special cultivation technique like the «Starlight Immortal Body», this couldn't be considered a lot of money.

Chu Tian still had not even reached the Small Success Realm and he still required resources worth one hundred thousand gold coins per month. Once he finished refining his Glass Body like Nangong Yun had done, the consumption rate would increase by at least ten times.

A trivial million gold coins.

This can't count for anything!

Nangong Yun was very excited!

From her youth until now she had never had this much money. She had never been this trusted by anyone.

This moment she had a kind of mission feeling. Chu Tian had given her the heavy responsibility of being the Central State vanguard, she had to complete it perfectly!

Nangong Yun was an impatient person, "Then we're agreed! I'll leave today! You guys keep eating, I'll go back and prepare!"

Chu Tian didn't say anything.

Nangong Yun burst through the gate and rushed back home.

Zhang Liqing's expression revealed a trace of affection, "This little girl truly has a temper, she really needs to control it!"

When Nangong Yi received the news, he immediately felt his old heart fill with comfort.

A father can't give nothing right? He gave his daughter five hundred thousand gold coins on the spot as cultivation expense!

In the evening, Nangong Yun sat in a white rhinoceros beast carriage under the heavy guard of the Nangong Family guards. She said goodbye to Chu Tian and the others and set off on a large scale for Central State City.

Chapter 91: Heavenly Book Source Spiri

Chapter 91: Heavenly Book Source Spirit

Chu Tian sending off Nangong Yun, not only did he do a favour for Nangong Yi, but it was also for the company. If Miracle Commerce wanted to grow larger, sooner or later they would need to enter the Main City.

Once Nangong Yun left, Meng Yingying only had a few helpers left. She became incredibly busy.

Miracle Commerce's second restaurant "Secret Cloud Territory" and the third restaurant "Grand Miracle Hotel" had began to do business.

Miracle Commerce already had a comprehensive layout for their pill and talisman refinement plan. Also the Mayor's Palace also agreed to their "City Street Lamp Production" program. They had invested a large amount of money to install street lamps in South Sky City's main block, city square, and other public places to create a livelier South Sky City!

Miracle Commerce of course welcomed this large development plan!

Honor, money, and authority were all established based on foundation. Otherwise it was like an imaginary bubble, it could be popped at any time.

The Ye, Chu, and Luo Family could still come back at any time!

The influence of the three families were like a knife hanging over their head!

Chu Tian felt that he couldn't wait.

The Awakened Soul Realm. It was imperative to break through not only to increase his ability to survive but also it would allow him to receive the Nangong Family's guest official status. It would provide another strong protection for Miracle Commerce!

In the past few days, Chu Tian had taken all the level 1 Elixirs he had brought back from the black market and used it all to refine a miracle pill which he gave to the Meng Qingwu sisters.

This was enough to bring Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying to the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer.

As for Chu Tian?

Because he had succeeded in breaking through the 9th Body Refinement Layer at the black market.

Now after the life threatening battles in the ancient tomb and continuous use of the thousand year Yuan Essence Grass, his spirit energy had increased quite a bit.

Therefore Chu Tian only needed to close up for two days and he could easily break through to the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer.

No problems occurred through the process, it was a straightforward process.

Therefore level 1 Elixirs for him were already not that important.

Chu Tian had prepared over ten thousand pieces of meteor grass and began crazily practicing «Starlight Immortal Body». The «Starlight Immortal Body» had saved Chu Tian's life several times in the black market and because Chu Tian had continued to use it, he had become more skilled at using the Starlight Immortal Body.

Now he was using these ten thousand pieces of meteor grass.

Chu Tian could finally advance a step with the «Starlight Immortal Body» and enter into the Small Success Realm. He did not need to focus on condensing it, he could condense the starlight glaze over his body at any time. Any expert not above the Awakened Soul Realm, if he stood there letting them attack, as long as he still had spirit energy, they could not injure him!

His cultivation base had increased!

His cultivation technique had increased!

His strength had received a significant growth.

Chu Tian's naked body stood up from the vat. He shook his arm and nodded his head in satisfaction, "If I continue to practice this cultivation technique, my physical body will also improve quite a bit."

"Si, si!"

The little fox saw Chu Tian's naked body and used its two small claws to cover its eyes, then it gave a loud shout of protest.

"Fuck, you can be shy? You're only a fox, perhaps you're a female fox?"

The little fox stood up on its four feet and instantly vanished into a cloud of fog. When it appeared again it had already appeared beside the window, it gave a dissatisfied protest.

It was willing to let go the fact it was mistreated the past few days, but now even its gender wasn't known!

Was there another master as irresponsible as him?

Chu Tian stared at the fox not amused and put on his clothes. He took out a corpse core and gently threw it.

The little fox's eyes lit up.

Putong!

It instantly vanished.

It flew up to grab the corpse core and landed on Chu Tian's shoulder, it was very pleased with itself as it gnawed on it.

Chu Tian tapped its little head with a finger, "I really don't know what kind of creature you are. You are picky about what you eat and only eat Heaven and Earth treasures!

The little fox lifted its head and its nose gave a snort.

Normal spirit beast couldn't eat this kind of thing even if they wanted to!

This little fox was a super god level beast so he had this ability!

So you don't know your luck, feeding this fox was your blessing!

Chu Tian was amused with the little fox's narcissism. No matter what, the little fox's intelligence was not low. It was not less than a human's and was actually even more intelligent. But Chu Tian had a serious face as he said, "Don't blame for not telling you, there are only a few corpse cores remaining, once you finish eating you'll be out of food."

The little fox was calm and suddenly with a putong sound it disappeared.

Chu Tian's waist felt lighter.

The little fox appeared on the window holding a heavy bag. Its eyes shined through the narrow seam and it gently threw down the bag causing a thud of source stones to ring out.

Its little claw dug around.

Peng!

Several pieces of low quality source stones fell on the table.

The little fox slapped the shiny source stones and it used its claws to point at the source stone then pointed at its mouth. With a calm and composed look, as if it was righteously saying, "Don't you have money? Use it to buy food for me!"

"You still dare to steal money from me?" Chu Tian's nose was so angry his nose was crooked, "You think that I'm an orphanage! I'll tell you, you better show me what use you are, otherwise I, Chu Tian will not raise a useless pet."

The little fox chose not to respond as it turned its butt towards him. Its tail swung in his face as if to express his contempt.

What was this fellow?

It was as refined as a ghost!

Chu Tian shook his hand and raised the Netherworld Sword. He went out into the courtyard and slowly brandished the sword.

Chu Tian's defensive power was strong enough, but his attack power was still lacking. The «Netherworld Flame Sword» was a strong sword style and if he could practice it to the Small Success Realm, Chu Tian was certain his power would rise another level.

But after practicing the sword art 4-5 times, he didn't have any feeling. It was as if his sword was missing something.

What was he lacking?

Chu Tian pondered for a while.

The small white fox sat on the window, its eyes showed a laugh of ridicule going "si, si" as if it was laughing at Chu Tian's stupidity.

"Stupid fox, you actually dare to laugh at me?"

It was unknown when the little fox obtained it, but in its hand was a blue and white bead. It forcefully threw it over to Chu Tian.

It couldn't be underestimated since it was only the size of a fist.

The strength contained within was not small.

The blue and white bead was like a meteor as it shot over at Chu Tian.

Chu Tian raised out a hand to grab it. It was the Netherworld Flame Seed. He immediately understand the little fox's meaning and began to practice the Netherworld Flame Sword. Only having the sword art and Netherworld Sword wasn't enough, the Netherworld Spirit Flame was the key to the sword art.

The little fox felt as it had performed a great deed. With a sou sound, its speed very fast, it jumped onto Chu Tian's shoulder. It impolitely stretched out a claw.

"You should save a little!"

"Based on your eating habits, I won't be able to raise you!"

The little fox held a corpse core in its paws and it disappeared to who knows where.

Right at this time.

A sudden light pressure came from the room of the young miss.

Chu Tian revealed a happy expression. With his help, Meng Qingwu had taken several pills. Had she finally broken through?

A deep and mysterious power filled the air.

This was the aura of a source spirit.

A source spirit had been born!

Chu Tian was incredibly happy as he immediately ran over to the room of the young miss to find out what the situation was.

Meng Qingwu had just finished practicing. She had smoothly broken through to the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer and gave birth to a source spirit. But what was strange was the fact that her source spirit was just a book.

To have a book as a source spirit, even in the future this was incredibly rare!

Chu Tian asked Meng Qingwu, "Do you feel any changes with your body?"

Meng Qingwu was bewildered as she shook her head, "I don't feel any change!"

Chu Tian asked again, "Do you feel as if anything has become stronger?"

Meng Qingwu shook her head. Awakening a sword source spirit could increase the might of one's swordsmanship, but what could a book source spirit do? You couldn't hold a book in a fight!

Meng Qingwu could feel that this source spirit did not increase her strength at all. This made Meng Qingwu feel dejected, thinking that this was a waste spirit.

It didn't have any combat strength!

Having a source spirit was the same as not having one, wasn't a source spirit like this a waste?

"No, any source spirit will always have its use. Your spirit is not a waste spirit!" Chu Tian thought carefully and suddenly he thought of a person, "Perhaps….."

Meng Qingwu was in a daze.

Chu Tian wrote several large characters on a piece of paper and then opened it for Meng Qingwu to read, "First read the characters on this paper!"

"Chu, Tian, I, love, you!"

"Pei!"

Meng Qingwu only read the paper and realized what was wrong. The serious and beautiful face turned red and her beautiful eyes popped out as she angrily said.

"You dare make fun of me!"

"I wasn't making fun of you." Chu Tian forced down his smile, "Look a little more carefully!"

Meng Qingwu looked at the words again in a daze, "What kind of words are these? I've never seen these words before...Strange, how could I understand what they mean?"

"Of course you've never seen them!" Chu Tian scrunched the paper into a ball, "This is the language of ancient high elves."

Meng Qingwu thought this was impossible.

The language of ancient high elves, how could she read it?

Chu Tian continued, "The words you just said was the language of the ancient high elves, it wasn't the language that we use on the continent!"

Meng Qingwu carefully thought back. The words that she had just said really weren't the words she commonly used. But she had a kind of a strange feeling, being able to speak a strange language proficiently.

It was as if it was carved in her soul.

And she just reflected it out.

"The book source spirit is a very special source spirit as it contains ancient records. The stronger the source spirit becomes, the more ancient memories it awakens. Your source spirit will not give you strength, but it can give you the thing that many sages dream of....knowledge!"

Chu Tian performed another experiment.

He randomly took a book and placed it in front of Meng Qingwu.

He stayed on each page for 4-5 seconds and in a few minutes he had gone through the entire book.

When Chu Tian randomly asked details about the book, Meng Qingwu didn't even know what she had read, but she could easily answer each question as if she had already memorized it.

It was this!

Meng Qingwu didn't have a fighting type source spirit.

This was a very rare wisdom type source spirit!

Chu Tian's main source spirit also gave him strong memorization abilities, making it so he never forgot anything. But if it was compared with Meng Qingwu's, it would seem trivial!

Meng Qingwu flipped through the book, but she didn't even know what she was looking at. The book source spirit had recorded all of it down and when she needed to use this knowledge, it would directly feed it into her brain.

It could be said!

Meng Qingwu was a natural scholar!

Chu Tian was very satisfied with this!

Chu Tian's knowledge was very profound and it exceeded the current era by tens of thousands of years. If he had to take it out, there would be no one that could understand it. If a person of this world had to be found that could learn from Chu Tian, that person would definitely be Meng Qingwu!

This source spirit was too great!

It was enough to make Chu Tian a little jealous!

This made Chu Tian even more determined to train Meng Qingwu!

Not to mention that within Meng Qingwu's book source spirit, there were many ancient records contained. The stronger her strength became, the more records would be revealed and perhaps even records of an ancient era would be revealed.

Chu Tian had knowledge from thirty thousand years in the future.

Meng Qingwu would have the knowledge of the ancient era.

This kind of combination would be unparalleled in history. This kind of chemical reaction, it allowed people to feel very anticipated about the results!

Meng Qingwu said, "Yingying's cultivation is lower than mine, I'm afraid it'll take her a while to reach the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer."

"It'll only take a few days! I've decided to attack the Awakened Soul Realm!" Chu Tian paused before continuing, "From the materials that I've brought back, the most important ones are the Infant Soul Fruit. If the Infant Soul Fruit can be refined into Infant Soul Pills, it will be enough for us to break through to the Awakened Soul Realm. There are three fruits, one for each person."

The materials for the Infant Soul Pill were expensive.

But, other than the main Infant Soul Fruit, the rest were not hard to buy.

Chapter 92: Acquiring the basin

Chapter 92: Acquiring the basin

Meng Qingwu went through the list of materials for the Infant Soul Pill and then began to make high price purchases in the Central State area. These materials were not as rare as the Infant Soul fruit, but they were still Elixirs, so it would require a bit of time.

Missing this step!

Only missing this one step!

Once the Infant Soul Pill was refined, Chu Tian was confident in breaking through his current bottleneck and becoming an Awakened Soul Cultivator respected by tens of thousands people.

His source spirit would be awakened.

His battle strength would raise by at least ten times!

This not only related to the strength and stability of Miracle Commerce, but it was also related to Chu Tian's life or death. So to collect the materials as soon as possible, Miracle Commerce had mobilized all of its strength.

Xiong Tianyan and Zhang Liqing began to ask their personal connections and Nangong Yi began to ask through his family channels.

In three days, half of the materials were collected. This was already considered not bad!

But, Chu Tian did not want to wait in the city. These few days he had been practicing, but it was also enough time for him to accomplish a big thing. He had made a very important decision – Miracle Commerce was going to acquire the meteor grass basin!

Meteor grass was an important cultivation resource for them.

Although it wasn't an Elixir, it took a long time to grow. And with its harsh growing environment criteria, it could be considered a rare herb. Every time they used some there would be less, if they acquired the basin earlier then they would be able to lose less meteor grass.

With Miracle Commerce's financial situation, it was still far from having the ability to buy the basin.

But, with the giant amount of money from the black market, it was enough for them to pay a deposit.

Chu Tian was thinking, they should first reserve the basin to stop more meteor grass from being used. Chu Tian was confident that once the deal went through he would get the rest of the money and finish the transaction.

Money was just a thing, it was a stepping stone used for self cultivation.

To become stronger, to get more cultivation materials!

It didn't matter how much money was spent!

Meng Qingwu was not surprised. Chu Tian had already proposed this takeover idea so she had began preparing for it half a month ago. Right now she treated it like doing homework.

The meteor grass basin was owned by a company called "Tianchen Commerce". This company was a large materials company that was a subordinate of a large Central State business family. They did business all over the Southern Summer Country, managing a variety of raw material businesses. They had a very large influence.

They had been producing meteor grass for over eight years now and it did not turn a good profit.

Because the meteor grass was only used to treat low grade cultivator's injuries and there were many alternatives to it, so it could be easily substituted. Meteor grass was much more expensive compared to the alternatives so it didn't sell in large quantities.

Moreover, after eight years of foraging, there was a decline in the basin value. They had pretty much picked most of it last year and they had decreased the amount and quality of people working on it. This meant that as long as a reasonable price was given, it was absolutely possible to acquire it.

Meng Qingwu secretly sent an intent to buy, but she didn't expect that the other side would reply this quickly.

They agreed to negotiate the sales terms.

The negotiations would be in three days.

The location would be in the nearby Hidden Sound Village and the Miracle Commerce Chairman must be present.

The Tianchen Commerce's straightforward reply made the two of them relieved. Chu Tian had been idle for too long in South Sky City so he would personally take part in the negotiation!

The Hidden Sound Village, it was six hundred li away from South Sky City.

The town's population was around one hundred thousand and it was around the same scale as Black Stone Town near the Yin Corpse Valley.

The Hidden Sound Village was an important material transfer point. Because around the town there were several material production areas. Even the meteor grass valley was only one of the production areas nearby.

After Meng Qingwu researched the area and the background of the other company and once she determined whether the area was safe or not, she set off with Chu Tian. They rushed over to the negotiation area in a carriage.

...…..

On this day.

The sun shined high up in the sky.

The bronze ox carriage majestically drove across the road. When the people on the road saw them, they had no choice but to let them pass.

The eighteen black robed behind followed behind the beast carriage. They did not utter a single word, the just followed behind the carriage. Not too fast and not too slow, it seemed like they would never become tired.

"Stop for a second!"

"We'll take a break."

The bronze ox carriage slowly came to a stop.

Chu Tian came out the side in a set of blue clothing, he turned his head back to take a look.

Meng Qingwu followed behind him. She was wearing a long snow white gown, her black hair was carefully combed. Her smooth white jade cheeks had a hint of a blush in them.

At this time, a gentle breeze blew.

Meng Qingwu's snow white dress fluttered, revealing a set of attractive white as jade legs. A lock of black hair was blown onto her face and she pushed it back with a white jade finger. The scene at that moment, it was enough to make people feel dizzy.

Meng Qingwu pretended not to notice Chu Tian's gaze. Her eyes like an autumn stream sweeped across what was in front of her, "This place is..."

The place in front of their eyes, it was a basin.

Meng Qingwu looked into the distance, her field of vision was incredibly wide. In front of her was a prairie covered basin, it had a diameter of around twenty li. The interior was very flat, it was almost as if it was a vast stretch of flat land.

White waterfalls flowed down the cliff in all four directions, unceasingly flowing down into the basin. The water stirred up mist, giving a sense of mystery. White cranes could be seen flying around all over giving it a sense of paradise.

Inside the basin there were many sources of water. There were several small creeks flowing and it was covered in lush plants. In the centre of the basin there was a man made camp. There existed a spirit farm and this was where the meteor grass was produced.

Meng Qingwu revealed a heartfelt smile, "Truly beautiful. If the talks go well, will this place really belong to us?"

Chu Tian looked at Meng Qingwu.

He suddenly felt this girl had endured a lot.

A sixteen year old had to support her family's company through its crisis. A girl in the prime of her life had to suffer the evil that came from human nature. Everyday she had to come up with new strategies. She never had a single day of proper rest, she never had a chance to live a safe and secure life.

Meng Qingwu turned her face around, "What are you looking at?"

Chu Tian straightforwardly said, "Young miss has a beautiful smile, you should smile more."

Who knew that Meng Qingwu's face would turn red and the smile of her face would freeze. Her face turned serious and she said, "If you keep being this frivolous then I'll ignore you. You think I'm as easy to cheat as Yingying?"

Chu Tian suddenly felt embarrassed.

This girl really is no fun, just complimenting her two words is considered frivolous? The little fox sat on Chu Tian's shoulder, it held its stomach as it laughed.

"You dare laugh at me? You're looking to be hit!"

The little fox jumped off and landed on Meng Qingwu's shoulder. It stretched out two claws as it stuck out its tongue to make a face at Chu Tian.

Little rascal!

Eating my food and drinking my water!

Now you don't even place your master in your eye!

Chu Tian was so irritated, that he wanted to go over and teach it a lesson, but who would have thought Meng Qingwu would stare at him, "What are you doing? A grown man fighting with a little animal, you really need to work on your self control!"

The little fox nodded its head and in its crystal clear eyes, it let out a single tear, giving itself a pitiful appearance!

"My young miss?" Chu Tian pointed at the sly little thing, "You really think this fellow is a small animal? Do you know that this fellow's meals for a day or two is enough to buy us a month's worth of cultivation resources! I'm becoming bankrupt feeding it!"

Where did this little beast come from?

Actually even Meng Qingwu felt it was strange.

Meng Qingwu could see that this seemingly adorable little fox wasn't actually a normal spirit beast. Even if a normal spirit beast's intelligence was this high, how could it still act like a human?

Even the legendary dragons, when they were just born they still wouldn't be this intelligent!

Meng Qingwu rubbed the little fox's head. The little fox didn't move and even moved its head over. This made it seem very obedient and made Meng Qingwu like it, "You're not allowed to bully it!"

Chu Tian felt he was treated unfairly.

This little thing was quite sinister. Not being bullied by it was already pretty good!

"You should be done watching." Meng Qingwu said, "Let's get back on the carriage. This kind of important negotiation, it is better if we're not late."

The little fox jumped back onto Chu Tian's shoulder as if nothing had just happened.

The bronze ox started moving forward and dragging the heavy carriage as it slowly made its way to the little village.

The carriage kept shaking, but Meng Qingwu wanted to discuss some matters. Chu Tian noticed the atmosphere became solemn so he instantly took the initiative to ask, "Young Miss, do you know where the hidden sound for the village name came from?"

"How can I not know?" Meng Qingwu was a little startled, but she calmly said, "There are mountains near the Hidden Sound Village, there are frequent strange events that occur where people will suddenly hear the sounds of an army approaching. Or they hear the sounds of a demon beast's roar, or even hear the sounds of people talking. Although these strange sounds occurred, nothing dangerous ever happened. So the people called this place the Hidden Sound Village, a place where one can hide behind sounds."

Chu Tian nodded his head.

Meng Qingwu continued, "Long ago, scholars came to study this place. They wanted to find the reason why this occurred and they found it was caused by a special material. A kind of material that could store sound and release it. Currently they are starting to begin mining. It can be used in arrays and it is frequently used, but it is not valuable."

Chu Tian revealed a mysterious smile, "This stone's use, it cannot be drawn out with a simple array!"

[TL Note: Magic telephone?]

[ED Note: Alexander Chu Tian Bell?]

Meng Qingwu's heart trembled.

She naturally knew Chu Tian meant something with his words!

But before Meng Qingwu could ask, the bronze ox carriage began to slow down.

"We've arrived in Hidden Sound Village."

"Let's get out of the carriage!"

Chu Tian jumped down from the carriage.

The Hidden Sound Village was around the same size as Black Stone Town, but the town's planning was much better by several folds since it was a town in the center of Central State. Moreover it was surrounded in resource production areas. It wasn't like Black Stone Town where it was on a border area and was surrounded by the dangerous Yin Corpse Valley and the black market.

At the agreed location.

Over a hundred silver armoured elites surrounded the area. Each one of them had a treasured sword hand engraved with a seal. Around the roof and windows of the house were archers with bows in hand.

They were truly cautious!

"Are you two from Miracle Commerce?" A large and ugly man walked over, "I am the captain of the guard for Tianchen Commerce, Jing Hu. If you please."

Jing Hu was an Awakened Soul Cultivator!

A butler was this strong!

The surrounding guards, were all Body Refinement experts!

They were truly worthy of being a large company. This kind of lineup, it was something ordinary companies could not achieve.

Chu Tian was dressed in a blue robe and Meng Qingwu was in a white gown. The eighteen black robed corpse soldiers followed behind them, their group's hierarchy was very clear. They two of them arrived at an open air teahouse.

Jing Hu remained outside.

There were one old and one young, the two of them sat in front of them.

Chapter 93: Negotiations

Chapter 93: Negotiations

The youth was wearing a blue silk robe, embroidered with elegant snow white bamboo leaves edge. He had a semi transparent jade hairpin and his hand held ebony silk folding fan. On the table was a jewel encrusted treasure sword, it's shape was bright and fancy. This was a typical image of a rich family's son.

This young man should not be the host.

Chu Tian looked at the high spirited white haired old man. His eyes were filled with compassion and kindness and his clothing were very casual. It made him seem as harmless as an animal, but his eyes helda trace of cunning. When he was staring at Chu Tian, his eyes had a look as if he had just discovered a bar of gold.

Pa!

The folding fan gently closed.

The blue clothed youth rose and slightly bent forward while cupping his fist, "I never would have thought that Miracle Commerce's chairman would be a beautiful and moving young miss."

"I am Jing Hao, Tianchen Commerce's junior chairman." The blue clothed youth sized up Meng Qingwu, while his eyes were filled with amazement, "This is my uncle Jing Xian, the vice chairman of Tianchen Commerce!"

Truly unpromising.

This little brat's eyes popped out once he saw a beautiful girl. How could this be someone who would achieve great things? A single glance was enough to tell that he was of a second generation!

Chu Tian coughed.

Jing Hao looked over at Chu Tian and saw that he was wearing a simple robe and had an ancient sword strapped to his back. He was most likely a guard, "Forgive me for saying, but with chairwoman Meng's beautiful appearance, how could you bring such an uncouth guard? It truly doesn't match chairwoman Meng's elegant appearance!"

"Hao Er, you can't be impolite."

The old man placed down a jade teacup. Although his mouth said these words, his tone did not hold a trace of reproval. Tianchen Commerce was a large company, since they had accepted a negotiation invite from a small company, they had already shown a lot of respect to them.

"This person is not a servant, rather he is Miracle Commerce's chairman, Chu Tian."

Chu Tian pretended not to hear anything.

Who didn't know that these two fellows were putting on a play.

"This old man has heard many rumours about chairman Chu." Jing Xing showed an intrigued smile, "You haven't been to Central State City, yet you've already amassed quite a bit of fame. You truly are a heroic youth."

Is that so?

His information was not perfect.

If he knew of Chu Tian's recent actions, he wouldn't be using this tone to talk to him.

Jing Hao seemed to not believe this, "Then Young Miss Meng Qingwu….."

Meng Qingwu lightly responded, "I am Miracle Commerce's vice chairman. I'm here to accompany the chairman in the negotiations."

This brat wasn't even twenty years old? He was already the chairman of Miracle Commerce!

And he could have such a beautiful woman following him?

This was enough to invoke jealousy from any man!

Jing Hao's expression didn't show anything, but his eyes seemed to show disdain for Chu Tian.

Chu Tian could understand his expression. He was someone of lower birth, but he was younger and more handsome than him. He was more accomplished, stronger, and had a beautiful woman to accompany him. All these things could make people to envy Chu Tian.

Chu Tian impolitely sat down, "Let's start the official discussion."

Two black robed corpse soldiers were like statues as they stood straight behind him, they were as silent as stone.

"Good! Then we'll directly get on topic." Jing Xing said in a slow tone, "Word is that Miracle Commerce continually orders from us and keeps ordering large quantities, and now it seems they even want to buy the production farm. It seems like the necessity for meteor grass can only be described as ravenous!"

Once the negotiations began, this old fox started with this trick.

It seemed like they wanted to place Tianchen Commerce in the driver's seat.

Chu Tian didn't like mincing words so he directly said, "There's no need to say that much. The meteor grass production basin is important to Miracle Commerce, so please give your opening price!"

Jing Xing stared at him.

Jing Hao at the side gave an offer, "The fixed price! One hundred million gold coins!"

One hundred million?

Wasn't this a crazy offer?

There was already not that much meteor grass left in the basin!

The entire basin was only worth 20-30 million gold coins, but this fellow actually dared to propose one hundred million? This was simply crazy!

Not to mention Miracle Commerce being a small company, even a large company like Tianchen Commerce couldn't come up with one hundred million gold coins!

Given such an outrageous price, Meng Qingwu was not happy. She had a calm face as she said, "I've already researched it, the profit from the meteor grass sales each year only amount to less than two million gold coins. Now that the quantity of meteor grass is decreasing, the profit is also decreasing every year. Giving us this kind of price truly shows that you have no sincerity!"

Chu Tian gave a cold smile.

One hundred million?

Fuck you!

You think Father's house has a gold mine?

The total value of your Tianchen Commerce can't compare to that value.

Jing Xing pretended not to hear. Since Miracle Commerce was that anxious about acquiring the meteor grass basin, they definitely had their own reason.

One hundred million gold coins was impossible, but it was being used to raise the bottom line.

Jing Hao coldly said, "I said one hundred million, then I mean one hundred million. Moreover, we want the money up front!"

Meng Qingwu was slightly angry as she instantly stood up, "You don't have any sincerity, so what reason did you have for sending the negotiations invitation!"

The small fox jumped onto the table.

It viciously spat out a mouthful of spit as if it was expressing its protest to Jing Hao!

It clearly understood the value of one hundred million. How much food could it buy with it?

Jing Xing revealed an interested gaze, "Your spirit beast seems to have human nature, it could possibly be a descendant of an ancient era. How about you sell it to us? We can discuss the price."

"This little fox doesn't seem to be high quality. Even if it were a descendant of an ancient demon beast, its blood is probably very diluted. At most, it would only be worth a few hundred thousand gold coins." Jing Hao stared and snorted as he spoke, "Tianchen Commerce will not haggle with you. We'll take off ten million gold coins. If you pay ninety million gold coins, then you can buy the basin!"

The little fox was so angry it revealed its fangs and its white fur stood up.

"There is no way we can accept your conditions!" Meng Qingwu's anger was not light. She had originally thought that there was a little hope of this being a negotiation, but who would have thought that after coming this far to see these two fellows, they didn't even have the intention to sell, "Since Tianchen Commerce does not have any sincerity, our Miracle Commerce can only give up. Chu Tian, let's go."

Jing Hao suddenly called out, "Please wait young miss Meng!"

Meng Qingwu froze.

Jing Hao said with a sinister face, "We still have a method where you won't need to pay a single gold coin and you can still obtain the entire basin!"

From the beginning until now, Chu Tian had just sat in place, not moving at all. Even the expression on his face did not change as he waited with cold eyes to see what the two of them were up to.

Meng Qingwu's black eyebrows knit together.

These profiteers would not allow a loss.

Who knew what kind of excessive request they would make? She didn't even want to listen to them.

Jing Hao laughed, "You don't need to pay a single gold coin to take the basin, you just need to sell us stock for five million gold coins. Let us buy sixty percent of Miracle Commerce's stocks. Then just get rid of this waste and I'll come and take over the chairman position.

A basin bare in resources in exchange for the future of Miracle Commerce?

Was there a request more shameless than this?

This wasn't a negotiation.

It was simply extortion!

Meng Qingwu had already stopped listening to them, "Chu Tian, let's go!"

The Tianchen Commerce guards came forward. Their stance showed that they wouldn't let them leave.

Meng Qingwu's expression changed, "What is the meaning of this?"

"The letter Miracle Commerce sent said you wanted to talk about buying the production site, now you don't even say two sentences and want to leave. Are you trying to play a joke on our Tianchen Commerce? Do you know that every minute you waste, we suffer a loss of over ten thousand gold coins?"

"You can even say this kind of shameless thing!"

Jing Hao coldly said, "You want to leave? That's fine! Just compensate us for our loss! It's not much, just ten million gold coins!"

At this time, Chu Tian loudly laughed. He pulled Meng Qingwu back to sit in the chair, "Young miss, don't be angry."

Meng Qingwu was speechless, "You can still laugh?"

"I originally wanted to discuss business the conventional way, but we can't help it if these people want to get physical. The most important thing is to find common ground. Since Tianchen Commerce doesn't want to play this way, then we won't follow this rule either!" Once Chu Tian said this, he stood up and laughed, "The two of you, want to force us to buy and sell, to cheat us?"

Tianchen Commerce's intelligence gathering ability was good, they were set on obtaining this Miracle Commerce fat lamb.

The negotiations were only a pretence. Tianchen Commerce was a company with assets worth over a hundred million gold coins, but they were currently at a bottleneck in terms of development. They needed to spread out into new domains and Miracle Commerce's technology was just what they need.

Of course.

Tianchen Commerce still didn't know about what had happened in South Sky City a few days ago!

That's why Jing Hao felt safe.

"I urge you to be understanding!" He had a dim view of Chu Tian, "Forcing you to buy and sell is already giving you face! This era follows the law of the jungle, experts need no reason to devour the weak! For a newly organized company to sell for such a good price, what are you dissatisfied with!"

Forcing him to buy and sell was giving him face?

This kind of messed up logic!

"Isn't Tianchen Commerce very strong? Such a large backer being placed in front of you." Jing Hao said with an arrogant face, "This is the greatest honour for Miracle! This is a great opportunity for you! I urge you to seize this opportunity or else you'll regret it!"

Chu Tian was not angry, "Is that so? What do you plan to do?"

"Stop acting stupid! I don't have the patience to play with you! No foundation and weak inside, only having the luck to come up with one or two new technologies! Jing Hao slammed the table and stood up, "If we forcefully take it away, would you dare do anything? Since you don't have any strength, stop worrying about giving face!"

"You say it well!" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and his eyes filled with a cold glow, "I approve of this phrase!"

Jing Hao was shocked.

Was this little brat crazy?

"Hao Er, stop speaking nonsense!" Jing Hao had finished speaking so Jing Xing finally spoke. These two fellows, one red faced and one white faced, they split the work perfectly.

Jing Xing's goal this time was very clear.

If they could achieve their goal through negotiations that would be for the best, but if peaceful methods didn't work, then Tianchen Commerce wasn't against using a different method.

Jing Xing sincerely said, "Tianchen is sincere about cooperating. To express our sincerity we are willing to use ten million gold coins to buy Miracle Commerce. This price should be fair for Miracle Commerce."

Threatening and bribing!

They really did come prepared!

Ten million gold coins was easily enough to make a small company disorientated.

But with a trivial ten million gold coins, they wanted to buy Miracle Commerce with its endless potential?

Meng Qingwu was very indignant. How was this any different from robbing?

Tianchen Commerce had created the pretence of negotiations just to commit this disgraceful act!

Wasn't the most important thing to merchants integrity and morals?

Isn't Tianchen Commerce afraid of being despised?

Chu Tian slowly drank some tea, "If I don't agree, then what will happen?"

"Not agree?" Jing Hao swept his eyes around the surroundings, "First look around, then you'll realize it's not up to you!"

Tianchen Commerce had over a hundred elite bodyguards, every one of them had drawn their weapons. They slowly began to gather together, emitting a strong pressure as they came.

Once Chu Tian saw this, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, "This is a little interesting!"

Chapter 94: Comparing notes in martial arts

Chapter 94: Comparing notes in martial arts

No wonder Tianchen Commerce had brought this many guards. They had harboured bad intentions from the beginning of these so called business negotiations!

"Such a strong killing intent!" Chu Tian was leisurely sipping his tea, seemingly self composed. It was as if he regarded the over one hundred Tianchen Commerce guards to be nothing, "You seem confident. Are you that confident Tianchen Commerce is stronger than Miracle Commerce? I don't think so!"

These words.

Jing Xian and Jing Hao were speechless.

These words were like a joke.

This Chu Tian seemed to be a frog in the well!

How could there be a strong family in South Sky City?

A newly established company, what kind of expert did they have?

"How about we compare notes?" Chu Tian put down the teacup and his finger gently tapped on the table, "Pick someone from the people I've brought with me, and if you can win against any one of them, then I will accept your conditions! Otherwise...I'll use a different method to solve things!"

"You must be tired of living! Tianchen Commerce's guards are all veterans and mercenaries that we've used a lot of money to hire, each one is an elite above elites. What will you bring out to compete with us?!"

"Strength is not measured by words, it can only be measured by fighting!"

Refusing to be convinced in this grim circumstance?

Then we'll help you!

Jing Hao shouted, "Jing Hu!"

The captain of the guard Jing Hu ran over, "Please give your instructions, junior chairman!"

"Several country bumpkins have their eyes shut and actually dare challenge Tianchen Commerce. What do you think we should do?"

"Please allow me to teach them a lesson!"

"Go then, don't show them any mercy!"

"Yes!"

Jing Hu arrogantly walked over and used a taunting gaze to look at Chu Tian. Then he swept his gaze across the people he brought.

Eighteen black robed people, silently standing there. They didn't reveal a single bit of aura and their chests did not move, almost as if they didn't need to breathe. They were like eighteen pieces of stone.

Truly strange.

They gave people the same feeling. It was impossible to tell who was strong and who was weak.

Jing Hu didn't know who to choose, but he had nothing to fear. As the vice chairman's personal guard, his strength was at the 1st Awakened Soul Layer. He didn't believe that a guard from a small town company would be stronger than him!

"Do you want to come one by one or come all together?" Jing Hu proudly pulled out his sabre and shouted, "Let the strongest come up first. Our time is very precious, I'll solve it in a single slash!"

The corners of Chu Tian's mouth rose into a smile, "Why do we need the strongest to deal with you? Let the weakest go forth!"

Without any warning.

A light bell's sound rang out.

A black robed person jumped out from behind him!

Too sudden and too strange. There was no gathering of spirit energy as he just jumped out.

The black clothed person rushed forward at a high speed, but his body didn't seem to move. With a glance, it seemed like he was being moved at a high speed. From his body he emitted a black fog and a terrifying aura began to cover the area.

Jing Hu was shocked.

This, this...How was this possible?

He quickly sent out a flurry of sabre light!

Pa!

The black clothed person's palm shot out and a terrifying strength sent the sabre flying. It flew straight into the wall and the sabre kept buzzing non stop.

Black Yin Corpse, invincible body, hard as steel!

Jing Hu's brain didn't even have time to react. He could only watch helplessly as his opponent began to gather black fog in his hands. His entire hand became pitch black as it filled with an intense aura of death. Then he attacked with the violent qi.

Not good!

Jing Hu braced himself to receive the palm strike. The power surged forward and spread, destroying the nearby table and chairs.

"Ah!"

Jing Hu spat out blood and was sent flying into the wall. His body was covered in the black aura as he fainted on the spot.

One move!

The black robed person only used one move!

Jing Hu was the Tianchen Commerce vice chairman's personal guard!

He actually couldn't block a single palm from this black robed person?

After the black robed person had taken care of Jing Hu, he immediately returned to stand behind Chu Tian. From the beginning until now, he didn't say a single word. He stood there like a powerful statue, as if he had not even made a move.

"Truly too disappointing!" Chu Tian's eyes became ice cold, as sharp as a hawk, "This kind of strength, you dare spout nonsense in front of Father! With your little strength, you dare threaten Father! You're truly tired of living!"

It was as if Chu Tian had changed into another person.

This sudden terrifying manner hit like a tsunami, making the hearts of the two of them go cold!

A single palm defeated Jing Hu, not leaving a bit of suspense.

This black robed person had to have a strength at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer! These eighteen black robed people, regardless of aura or clothing, they were all the same. Perhaps...all eighteen of them were Awakened Soul Cultivators?

Jing Xian broke out in a cold sweat.

It seemed they kicked an iron sheet this time!

Was this group of monsters something they could annoy?

No!

It was impossible!

Eighteen Awakened Soul Cultivators as personal guards, even the Main City's Mayor couldn't receive this kind of treatment. Chu Tian was only the founder of a small city's company, how could he win over this many experts?

"Such a vicious evil palm skill!" Jing Hao angrily stood up, "A battle between warriors should be fair and yet you dare to use a poison to secretly kill Jing Hu! You are simply shameless to the extreme! This result, I refuse to accept!"

Chu Tian indifferently said, "The world's martial arts are complex, who says studying a poison technique is despicable? Being rude after losing, this is the stance Tianchen Commerce takes!"

"This round doesn't count. If you have skills then let's go again!"

Meng Qingwu angrily said, "A loss is a loss, your way of doing things is blatantly breaking your promises!"

"Is Miracle Commerce afraid of a challenge? If they want to compete again, then we'll just give them another chance." Chu Tian was as fearless as ever, "How do you want to fight this time?"

"I'll personally fight!" Jing Hao's eyes flashed with a trace of a sinister plot, "I'll ask young miss Meng Qingwu to fight this time!"

Meng Qingwu was only a young girl. Since she was young, she had been taking care of the company. This kind of person did not have any kind of strength.

Meng Qingwu's face fell, "You..."

"What? Someone had personally said that we can pick anyone he brought." Jing Hao used his voice to point someone out, cutting off Meng Qingwu, "So the guards are people he brought, but young miss Meng Qingwu isn't?"

Jing Hao used the loophole in Chu Tian's words to attack Miracle Commerce!

"Ha, ha, ha, ha. Young Master Jing Hao has a grasp of the situation, this is truly a talent of a merchant that does not care about face. To be able to express it so vividly, Chu Tian admires this."

Jing Hao's face turned cold, "If you're scared, then obediently sign the contract so that a beautiful girl like young miss Meng Qingwu won't be hurt!"

"Remember this! My Miracle Commerce does not have any waste or any pretty vases." Chu Tian didn't buy into his trick, "Since this is a sincere challenge, then young miss will properly teach you."

Meng Qingwu was filled with hesitation, "I…..I don't have experience with fighting!"

Once Jing Hao heard these words, he was overjoyed.

Then that would be the best!

Jing Hao was weaker than Jing Hu by a bit, but he was still at the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer!

Chu Tian encouraged the young miss by saying, "I believe in you, go and try!"

Jing Hao was sizing up Meng Qingwu's beautiful physique. In his heart he was very pleased with himself. A young girl who has grown up in a small city, can she beat me?

If Meng Qingwu was strong, then her name would have spread across Central State! But after being in South Sky City for so many years, she had always been bullied. How could she possibly be strong?

This round was guaranteed.

"Be careful young miss Meng!

Jing Hao pulled out a short sword and thrust forward.

Endless starlight was emitted from her body and the short sword bounced off the protective layer with a ding sound.

Jing Hao staggered back several steps. Seeing the body covered in light, it made Meng Qingwu look like a sacred girl from the heavens. He revealed a trace of surprise, "Such a strong defense!"

The Jing Hao uncle and nephew could both see that Meng Qingwu's cultivation base was much higher than they imagined. It was almost around the same as Jing Hao and she even practiced an especially strong defense based cultivation technique!

How was this girl this strong?

Impossible!

Illogical!

Today was truly strange!

Chu Tian lightly said, "I've said it before, Miracle Commerce doesn't have waste nor a flower vase! Our young miss is the vice president, her grace and talent can only be found once in a millennium. How could some random trash compare with her?"

Random trash?

You actually called me random trash!

Jing Hao gave a loud roar and sent out several slashes!

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!

Each slash had been blocked without exception!

Meng Qingwu's body did not have a weak point. It didn't matter how Jing Hao attacked, as it was all useless!

On Meng Qingwu's gentle and serious face, she couldn't help but reveal a smile. She was pleasantly surprised, even she didn't know when she had become so powerful!

Meng Qingwu had a chronic injury on her body since she was young. As long as she used spirit energy, she would feel pain!

At that time, not to mention fighting, every night her meridians hurt, making it hard for her to sleep!

And now?

Meng Qingwu wasn't as abnormal as Chu Tian or Nangong Yun so she couldn't skip levels and challenge people. But for cultivators at the same level, she could easily sweep through heavenly talents!

All of this.

It seemed like a dream!

"I say young miss, are you a statue?" Chu Tian drank some tea and impatiently shouted, "You should hit back!"

Meng Qingwu was in a panic, "But I...I don't know how to hit!"

"His legs aren't stable! Kick!"

Meng Qingwu gave a conditioned response and kicked out. Hitting him right in the crotch!

"Ah!"

Jing Hao's face turned green as he fell onto the ground.

The little fox applauded with his small claws and Chu Tian gave a large smile, "HA, HA! Beautiful! A good move to cut off his legs, it only required a little effort!"

Were the man and beast watching a competition?

This was simply watching a play!

Jing Hao's eyes filled with anger as he roared, "You've gone too far!"

Chu Tian loudly shouted, "Use your right hand to punch his face!"

Meng Qingwu was like a puppet, being completely controlled by Chu Tian. She instantly punched Jing Hao's face as he rushed forward. This made it feel like he was delivering up his face.

Peng!

He flew away with a nosebleed!

Jing Hao was sent to the ground once again!

"That won't do! That won't do!" Chu Tian was like a severe teacher, "How can you be this stupid! Your output method is very bad. Synchronize the body, synchronize your energy, gather your strength into a single point, that's how you release the strongest attack! Come try again!"

Even a fool could see!

Meng Qingwu was clearly a person without any battle experience!

But such a person without any battle experience, with Chu Tian's guidance, every movement became better. As they continued to fight, Jing Hao gradually lost any way he had of fighting back.

Inconceivable!

Unthinkable!

Chu Tian could not only give Meng Qingwu the best guidance, he could also find all of Jing Hao's weakness. He allowed a person without any fighting experience to fight Jing Hao to the point where he couldn't even fight back!

Was this man or was this a spirit!

Jing Xian felt a chill!

Regardless of Chu Tian's strength, his eyes were at a master's level!

This won't do!

If this fight continued, Jing Hao would definitely lose. He quickly stood up, "Hao Er, calm your mind! Use the frost sword against her!"

Jing Hao had already been angered to the point of confusion.

This woman was clearly a novice in fighting, yet she had forced him into this situation. He had suffered several hits and now his face had swelled up like a pig.

"That's enough!"

On the sword, a large glowing rune appeared. This was clearly a powerful spirit weapon. A lingering cold filled the air, filling the surroundings with frost.

"So what if your defense is strong?" Jing Hao's beaten face wore a fierce look as he held the cold sword, "Once my frost sword stabs you, you'll be frozen into an ice sculpture! I want to see how you fight against me now!"

Meng Qingwu's felt a chill in her heart.

Jing Hao still had a trump card. This was not a simple sword, how should she fight against it!
