Chapter 137: A Great Chance to Make a Name
Jiang Taixuan began writing his speech draft. “Looking across five thousand yea… damn, this other world’s history is way too long. Alright, let’s just talk about Yun Fan. The founding emperor of the Great Cloud Kingdom. More recent, everyone knows about him.”
He started searching the Celestial Network for information about Yun Fan, the founding emperor of the Great Cloud. Over a hundred years ago, he established the Great Cloud Kingdom.
Yun Fan’s rise to prominence was entirely due to his own strength. He was at the peak of Dao Fruit and even stepped into the Divine Power realm.
The Yun family was originally just one family clan. Yun Fan was the martial arts genius of the Yun family, overwhelmingly awesome and unstoppable. He even received guidance from a major sect, stepped into the Divine Power realm, and founded the Great Cloud Kingdom.
The Cloud Order was an important token left behind by Yun Fan.
After Yun Fan established the Great Cloud Kingdom, he didn’t reign for long before abdicating. He went into seclusion for a period, then took the Cloud Order and left the Great Cloud Kingdom. No one knew what he was pursuing until he died in the Monster Beast Mountains.
The information about Yun Fan was very vague. The Great Cloud royal family wouldn’t reveal the detailed specifics anyway.
Just how much of a genius was Yun Fan? Why did he abdicate back then? What was he pursuing? No one knew.
This made Jiang Taixuan very happy because it meant he could talk any nonsense he wanted.
“Using Yun Fan as the starting point, looking at the Great Cloud Kingdom as a whole, established for less than two hundred years, considered nationally, geniuses are few and far between, mediocrities are everywhere. Emperor Yun was peerless, but his descendants’ pursuits are lacking.”
“This Yun Fan is a living advertisement! Look at those poor losers. Over a hundred years, and not a single Divine Power has emerged from them. Aren’t they ashamed?”
Jiang Taixuan scoffed disdainfully and continued writing, while also checking information about other families and factions.
“Hmm, I should add a bit about the Fang Family too. The Fang Family rose to prominence, becoming nouveaux riches. This is a chance to change fate. Combined with the Divine Devil Dojo’s products, breaking through to Dao Fruit, this is the best advertisement.”
Jiang Taixuan thought as he wrote the advertisement.
“Field Master, we’re back.” Zhao Ming and the others returned, smiling and saying, “Field Master, we’ve already slipped the notes to those Outer Sect Disciples.”
“Good work.” Jiang Taixuan praised.
Soon, the other Innate Martial Artists returned one after another. “Field Master, we found out about the Monster Hunters Alliance. It’s a small faction. The Fang Family and the Song Family both expressed a desire to establish friendly relations with us.”
“Congratulations.” Jiang Taixuan pondered internally. Could it be that this Monster Hunters Alliance has no real connection with the upper levels of the Mercenary Guild?
“By the way, what about the information on the upcoming battles?” Jiang Taixuan asked.
“We’ve found out most of it. A family controls a region, then divisions are made based on faction strength. Dao Fruit families control areas alone. Smaller families either submit to a major family, paying a monthly tribute, or submit to a faction.” an Innate Martial Artist said.
“So what are your plans? Submit to a faction, or build yourselves into a major force?” Jiang Taixuan asked.
“Of course, become a major force.” Zhao Ming said without hesitation. “If we have to submit, we’d only submit to the Divine Devil Dojo. How could we possibly submit to any other major family?”
“It’s just Dao Fruit, not some insurmountable powerhouse.” Ye Dao said arrogantly.
Jiang Taixuan curled his lip. So easy to say. If you have the ability, break through to Dao Fruit right now and show me?
“Field Master, I want to buy some things to improve Ye Dao’s strength.” Zhao Ming spoke up.
“Certainly. Based on Ye Dao’s condition, I’ve customized a package. After purchasing it, Ye Dao will definitely become a top-tier expert among the Innate Realm, finding few rivals.” Jiang Taixuan said.
“Field Master, what package?” Ye Dao hurriedly asked.
Zhao Ming opened his mouth, wanting very much to stop him, but Ye Dao had already been pulled aside by Jiang Taixuan.
“What you need most right now is Innate Spiritual Energy, followed by God-Demon Pills.” Jiang Taixuan said seriously. After a pause, he added, “Innate Spiritual Energy improves quality. God-Demon Pills temper the body, making your movements more agile, your blade faster and stronger.”
Ye Dao nodded. “The Field Master is right. Then I’ll buy those two.”
“No, that’s not enough.” Jiang Taixuan wagged a finger. “You also need Foundation Establishment Insight. With a powerful state of mind, you can easily see through an enemy’s flaws and unleash the greater power of your Martial Skills.”
Ye Dao pondered for a moment, then nodded. The Field Master made a very good point.
“Now, what you should consider is how much Innate Spiritual Energy and how many God-Demon Pills to buy.” Jiang Taixuan thought aloud. “I did a calculation for you. You need at least four wisps of Innate Spiritual Energy and two God-Demon Pills.”
Thump!
Zhao Ming directly knelt on the ground. Four wisps of Innate Spiritual Energy meant twenty thousand Yuan Coins. Two God-Demon Pills were another ten thousand. Together, that was forty thousand Yuan Coins.
Even if they used all their savings, they didn’t have that much money.
“Field Master, if we had that kind of money, we could improve ourselves already.” Zhao Ming said helplessly.
“It’s just mo… Cough, never mind.” Ye Dao opened his mouth, initially wanting to declare arrogantly that it was just a bit of money, but then thought better of it and gave up.
He was so broke right now. Previously, he went to rob the rich to help the poor, but all the bandits had been cleaned out. He didn’t get a single Copper Coin and even ended up being captured by Wang Mingming.
“So how much money do you guys still have?” Jiang Taixuan sighed.
“Let us pool our resources.” Zhao Ming pulled the Innate Martial Artists together to discuss. Finally, he held up two fingers. “We can barely scrape together twenty thousand Yuan Coins.”
“Actually, I also accept pawning here.” Jiang Taixuan thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Dao. “Do you have anything valuable?”
Ye Dao shook his head.
“Then there’s only the final step.” Jiang Taixuan sighed.
“What step? Is the Field Master giving us a discount?” Zhao Ming immediately perked up.
“Yes, a discount.” Jiang Taixuan nodded. “Five hundred Yuan Coins to rent Li Guang or the Divine Marquis, or two thousand five hundred Yuan Coins to rent Wu Song and Li Yuanba. Go wipe out the Monster Hunters Alliance. The Monster Hunters Alliance has been robbing for so many years; they should have quite a bit of money.”
Zhao Ming pondered, but Ye Dao’s eyes lit up. “That’s an excellent move. Before, when eliminating evil, we couldn’t find the villains. But this Monster Hunters Alliance won’t get away.”
“Mhmm, I have another suggestion.” Jiang Taixuan tugged at Zhao Ming. “This is a great chance for the Wind-Swift Express Company to make a name for itself.”
“Field Master, you mean…?” Zhao Ming had a guess.
Jiang Taixuan nodded. “You rent a Dao Fruit powerhouse, then, in the name of the Wind-Swift Express Company, go destroy the Monster Hunters Alliance. And spread the news about how awesome your Wind-Swift Express Company is.”
Zhao Ming thought deeply. “Indeed, this is a great chance to make a name.”
Ye Dao’s blade trembled, quite tempted.
Jiang Taixuan continued his spiel. “For a man living in this world, besides money, beautiful women, power, and strength, what else does one seek if not fame? Moreover, once your Wind-Swift Express Company makes a name for itself, you won’t just be delivering for the Divine Devil Dojo. You can also provide escort services for other factions.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Field Master. We will immediately go destroy the Monster Hunters Alliance.” Zhao Ming’s eyes shone. The other Innate Martial Artists also looked excited.
“So, who will you rent?” Jiang Taixuan smiled.
“Li Yuanba. Since we want to make a name, it must be fast, ruthless, domineering, and shocking.” Zhao Ming gritted his teeth, planning to spend his life savings.
Jiang Taixuan nodded. “Two thousand five hundred Yuan Coins. Li Yuanba, you go with them, wipe out the Monster Hunters Alliance.”
“Mhm.” Li Yuanba put down his tea and responded indifferently.
“Remember, it must be in the name of the Wind-Swift Express Company. Don’t mention the Divine Devil Dojo. Otherwise, my Divine Devil Dojo would steal your glory.” Jiang Taixuan instructed.
“Field Master, you are truly too good.” For the first time, Zhao Ming realized the Field Master was such a great person. He was moved beyond words.
The group left, taking Li Yuanba back to the Divine Devil Dojo. Zhao Ming even had Ye Dao carry the signboard of the Wind-Swift Express Company. This way, anyone who wasn’t blind would know it was the Wind-Swift Express Company.
Jiang Taixuan watched them leave. He still felt a little guilty inside, but soon became calm again. This was motivating them. If they provoked a major force, that would also be pressure for them. Without enough pressure, how could they have the motivation to earn money?
“Next, continue writing the speech draft.” Jiang Taixuan said. After a pause, he suddenly thought, should he go give a speech at the Clear Moon Academy?
That might work. After finishing things in Cloud Water City, he’d go teach a lesson to the students of the Clear Moon kindergarten, letting them know the importance of making money.
