Chapter 179: Ji Clan’s Reaction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While Su Yu was in seclusion, many small occurrences happened.
First of all, Shen Wansan had successfully controlled the small city called Danzhou City.
He had firmly taken control of the small officials in the city. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not notice anything unusual.
This was as expected. The central governnt had more important matters to attend to. They would not pay attention to such a small border place unless it wanted to rebel.
After gaining control of the Danzhou City, Shen Wansan also began to trade with the neighboring small cities. Gradually, the na of the Comrce Association began to spread widely in these small cities.
It wasn’t that the Comrce Association hadn’t encountered any obstacles in its developnt. However, there were many capable people by Shen Wansan’s side. These obstacles were cleverly resolved by him.
Another larger matter was the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Beastman Dynasty.
Originally, after Zhou Yuan returned to the court, Zhou Xuanji followed his instructions and went to the treasury to pick out so resources as compensation.
However, Zhou Xuanji did not expect that the envoy sent by the Beastman Dynasty would demand an exorbitant price and refused to make do with the resources that he had picked out.
Good lord, Zhou Xuanji was almost angered to death on the spot. He was about to draw his sword and kill the other party.
To be honest, Shi Kuang – who was acting as an envoy – was extrely afraid.
Shi Kuang never expected that he would be sent to the enemy’s territory to negotiate about the compensation.
Actually, Shi Kuang was extrely unwilling to handle this matter.
However, the ruler of the Beastman Dynasty left Shi Kuang no choice. If he didn’t go, he would have to die to accompany the dead beastman warriors who had perished.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Kuang had no choice but to accept this difficult mission. Then, he rode the fastest small flying magical artifact in the Beastman Dynasty and rushed to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuanji only made so concessions after asking Zhou Yuan for instructions. This was also the most that the Great Zhou Dynasty could endure.
If the Beastman Dynasty still did not agree, they would start a war.
Faced with this situation, Shi Kuang hurriedly contacted the Beastman Dynasty. At this mont, Shi Kuang was on the Great Zhou Dynasty’s side.
Of course he supported them. If a war really broke out, he would definitely be the first to be killed and sacrificed!
In order to save his life, Shi Kuang could only express in the communication line that he had spent much effort and finally managed to fight for more benefits for the dynasty. However, if they asked for more, the other party might be driven to desperation.
Therefore, Shi Kuang’s vague suggestion was to stop while they were ahead and return to the dynasty with these resources.
In the end, the Beastman Dynasty agreed to the Great Zhou Dynasty’s compensation plan and chose not to start a war.
This was the second slightly bigger thing that happened during Su Yu’s seclusion.
Then, on the Myriad Comrce Association’s side, after Ji Ruoyan sent the two pill formulas back to the clan, the higher-ups directly rejected the 90:10 split plan.
The Ji Clan could be considered an ancient clan faction in a Level 1 sea area. The number of Kings in the clan had already exceeded an amount that could be counted with both hands. Moreover, in the clan’s forbidden area, there were also ancestors who were about to reach the King Realm.
How could they cooperate with an unknown little fellow in such a profit split thod? Wouldn’t they be the butt of the joke if word got out?
Instantly, the higher-ups’ evaluation regarding Ji Ruoyan began to plumt.
Even as the current head of the Ji Clan, Ji Ruoyan’s father, Ji Haoyu, did not understand why his usually shrewd daughter would make such a decision.
If Ji Ming’s secret ssage had not reached the hands of these old fellows, Ji Ruoyan would definitely have been removed from her position as the successor.
After reading the secret ssage sent by Ji Ming, these old fellows of the Ji Clan collectively fell silent.
The other party was a Martial Grandmaster in his early twenties. His blood energy was comparable to a pure-blooded flood dragon of the sa level. He was suspected to be the successor of the Ancient King and carried a terrifying item that could threaten King Realm cultivators. His identity was mysterious and could not be investigated. It was recomnded to befriend him. Rember not to offend him.
Ji Ruoyan did not know the contents of Ji Ming secret ssage.
“Elders, this is a secret ssage sent by Elder Ji Ming. There shouldn’t be any mistake. Then, we need to continue discussing the matter just now.”
At this mont, Ji Haoyu was sitting on the main seat. He was overjoyed, but he did not show it.
“Should we ask the other elders to continue investigating this matter?” As soon as Ji Haoyu finished speaking, the First Elder of the Ji Clan, who was at odds with him, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
“First Elder, are you contradicting Elder Ji Ming’s words? According to Elder Ji Ming, that young man is suspected to be the successor of the Ancient King. If this is true, we won’t be able to withstand the anger of a Titled Ancient King.”
Ji Haoyu responded solemnly.
“The Clan Leader is right. Even if this peerless genius isn’t supported by an Ancient King, he must be an existence close to the Ancient King. We can’t rashly investigate. It might arouse the other party’s displeasure. To our Ji Clan, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.”
As soon as Ji Haoyu said this, soone from his faction imdiately chid in.
First Elder Ji Jin, who was at odds with Ji Haoyu, did not know how to refute.
Because of the word ‘Ancient King’, Ji Jin almost suffocated. Ji Jin was also secretly afraid. If the Ancient King really questioned them, a family like the Ji Clan that prioritized benefits above all else would definitely hand over their people to apologize.
Therefore, in the face of Ji Haoyu’s question, Ji Jin could only slowly say, “Clan Leader, you’re being too serious. How could I dare to contradict Elder Ji Ming’s words? I was too suspicious. Please forgive .”
In the face of Ji Jin’s concession, the corners of Ji Haoyu’s mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Then, the higher-ups of the Ji Clan unanimously approved the profit split deal of the pill formulas. No one objected.
To the huge Ji Clan, the profit deal of this kind of low-rank dicinal pill could be exchanged for a close connection to a man suspected to be descendant of the Ancient King. It was simply incomparably worth it!
Only a fool would get into an argunt with the other party because of such insignificant terms.
It had to be said that the persona Su Yu had set for himself was very successful.
A large faction like the Ji Clan would not beco enemies with a prodigy like Su Yu for the ager profit from the beauty nourishing pill and the beauty pill.
After all, in a Level 1 sea area, what was the use of having more resources? Before one could turn it into strength, it would be popular with others too. Anyone would want to take a bite out of such resources.
Of course, all this was also because Su Yu had displayed his talent and strength, and his mysterious identity had been recognized by Ji Ming.
Otherwise, with the Ji Clan’s foundation, it would be strange if they agreed to such a plan.
Although the refining process of this beauty pill and the beauty nourishing pill was rather complicated, it was not a problem for the alchemists in the Ji Clan.
Soon, in the comrce association under the jurisdiction of the Ji Clan, appeared two types of dicinal pills that were quite popular with female cultivators. However, the price of those dicinal pills was also extrely high.
Ordinary cultivators would probably not be willing to buy such a dicinal pill that was useless for cultivation.
At this stage, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Ruoyan had also received a ssage from her father.
After reading the ssage, Ji Ruoyan’s eyes could not help but flash with excitent.
However, Su Yu did not play by the rules. After leaving the Myriad Comrce Association last ti, he did not appear for more than twenty days in a row. This made Ji Ruoyan so worried that she did not eat or drink.
At this mont, Su Yu, who was on Ji Ruoyan’s mind, was already in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He was listening to Zhou Yi and the others’ reports.
“Master, during the few days you were in seclusion, our forces have all entered the realm of a warrior on the path of martial arts under the tempering of the divine tower. We have condensed the internal power of martial arts in our bodies. In addition, the Black Iron Rank sea beasts and Skeleton l’s skeleton army have all stepped into the Bronze Rank.”
“Also, Shen Wansan sent a ssage through the heavenly mystery array. Everything is going well. They have already controlled a small city and are steadily expanding.”
“Also, before you went into seclusion, the island that you asked us to pay attention to didn’t appear within the surveillance range of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. In addition, the location of the King Realm expert in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty hasn’t moved.”
Zhou Yi, who was sitting beside Su Yu, reported to Su Yu about the things that had happened during the past few days of Su Yu’s seclusion.
“After you finish your daily work, go to the tower to cultivate more often. You are still too weak.” Hearing Zhou Yi’s words, Su Yu nodded slightly.
“Understood,” Everyone sitting below, including Zhou Yi, quickly replied.
“By the way, did you detect any ruins?” At this mont, Su Yu seed to have thought of sothing and asked casually.
“Master, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets has shown that there are valuable things within the ruins. I did detect one, but it was marked as a dangerous region. There must be sothing that can kill low-rank Kings inside.”
In response to Su Yu’s question, Zhou Yi expanded the 3D sea area map. Then, he pointed at a region and said to Su Yu.
“Is it not far from the rman Dynasty?” Looking at a red spot on the sea map, Su Yu could not help but have so thoughts.
However, Su Yu did not want to explore the ruins directly for the ti being. After all, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had already marked it as dangerous. Wouldn’t it be foolish to barge in rashly?
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets could not imdiately detect so places that were blocked by certain powers. It would take a certain amount of ti to detect, just like satellites being interfered with by signals.
This was also why the location of this ruin was not imdiately detected when the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty’s sea area..
