Chapter 74: Borrowing Power (1)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
In the southwest sea area of the Infinite Star Sea.
On a spiritual island tens of thousands of miles away from Shuanghu Island.
This Spiritual Island was none other than the Mo Clan’s land.
Similar to the Chen family of Shuanghu Island, the Mo family also had a Grade 1 spirit meridian. However, unlike the Chen family, the Mo family’s spirit meridian was not cultivated.
The ancestor of the Mo Clan had discovered it by chance on this Spiritual Island a few hundred years ago.
It had to be said.
The Mo clan members were very lucky. Over the past few hundred years, the number of Mo clan cultivators had never fallen below double digits.
Two hundred years ago, the Mo Clan had even produced a Foundation Building cultivator.
However, this Foundation Building cultivator had passed away decades ago, and the Mo family had fallen into a low point because of this.
But even so, compared to the Chen Clan, the Mo Clan’s foundation was still much deeper.
On the horizon, a figure approached from afar and flew towards a cave abode on the Mo Clan’s Spirit Mountain.
The Daoist descended. Judging from his appearance, he was in his thirties. He had a pale face and no beard. He was wearing a light purple Daoist robe and looked exceptionally graceful and noble.
The cultivation of this Mo Clan cultivator had reached the ninth level of the Aura Refining realm. It was obvious that he was in the stage of refining and purifying his zhenqi. Once he refined his zhenqi to the limit and entered the perfection realm, he could attempt to build his foundation.
He stepped into the cave abode.
An old man in his fifties was sitting cross-legged on a lotus-shaped magic tool, cultivating with his eyes closed.
“Patriarch!”
Seeing the old man, the white-bearded middle-aged cultivator cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.
“Yes,”
The old man from the Mo Clan, who was addressed as Clan Leader, opened his eyes. When he saw the middle-aged cultivator, he asked solemnly,” Yu Qing, why are you back? Did something happen to Mo Clan’s Precious Tool Pavilion?” Hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator called Mo Yuqing said with a serious expression, “”Exactly.”
Hearing that the family business was in trouble, the old man hurriedly stood up and took two steps forward.” Hurry up and tell me.”
“Yes…”
Mo Yuqing told the clan leader everything.
The Mo Clan Leader’s cultivation base was a notch higher than Mo Yuqing’s. He had reached the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm. He only needed a Foundation Building Elixir and the support of a second-grade spirit meridian to immediately attempt to build his foundation.
It could be said that…
The Mo Clan’s magic tool shop was not only the lifeline of the Mo Clan’s business, but also the hope of the Mo Clan’s clan leader to build his foundation.
It was precisely because of the Mo Clan Precious Tool Pavilion’s annual profit of nearly 1,000 spirit stones that gave the old man hope to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Otherwise, the few acres of spirit fields and a small spirit herb garden planted by the clan’s first-grade spirit vein would not even be enough to satisfy the cultivation of the clan’s cultivators, let alone support him, the clan leader, to build his foundation.
Therefore, to Mo Changsheng, the clan leader of the Mo clan, the Mo clan’s Precious Tool Pavilion was his hope of attaining Dao, and he could not afford to lose it.
“You’re saying that the Chen family of Twin Lake Island has a group of blacksmiths and has encroached on the business of our Mo clan’s Precious Tool Pavilion?”
“Yes!”
Mo Yuqing nodded,” Because of the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop, our Mo Clan Precious Tool Pavilion’s profits have dropped by 50% this year. It’s only less than 500 spirit stones!”
“What?”
Hearing this, Mo Changsheng panicked.
He was already fifty-three years old this year. According to the consensus of the cultivation world, if a cultivator could not successfully build a foundation before the age of sixty, as their blood and Qi declined, the possibility of successfully building a foundation would decrease as they went on.
In other words, Mo Changsheng could not wait for a few more years.
Originally, the Mo Clan had already accumulated over 30,000 Spirit Stones to support him, the Clan Leader, in his Foundation Establishment.
However, Mo Changsheng knew that it was not safe to bid for the Foundation Building Elixir at the Zhou Auction House with 30,000 Spiritual Stones.
According to the average auction price of the Zhou Auction House, the Mo Clan would need to prepare at least 40,000 spirit stones.
This was not even counting the price Mo Changsheng had to pay to borrow the second-grade spirit meridians of a Foundation Building clan for help after obtaining the Foundation Building Elixir.
He calculated.
Mo Changsheng wouldn’t even be able to earn 1,000 Spiritual Stones a year, let alone 500.
Thinking of this, he paced anxiously in the cave abode.
After a long time.
He looked up at Mo Yuqing and said, “”Have you talked to the Chen family? As long as they are willing to sell their magic tools to us, our Mo Clan Precious Tool Pavilion is willing to buy them for fifty spirit stones!”
Mo Yuqing shook his head.” We have. But the old man from the Chen family is not going to agree. No matter what we talk about, he won’t agree.”
“You’re courting death!”
Mo Changsheng waved his hand in anger. With a surge of Genuine Qi, the furniture in the cave abode was instantly reduced to dust.
Mo Yuqing lowered his head in the face of the clan leader’s rage.
After a while, Mo Yuqing raised her head and saw Mo Changsheng’s terrifying gaze. Her heart trembled slightly and she said, “”Clan Leader, Yu Qing believes that we should consider this matter carefully.”
“How do we plan this out?”
Mo Changsheng berated,” Without the profits from the Mo Clan Precious Tool Pavilion, my chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage are slim. My Mo Clan must have a Foundation Establishment Cultivator! ”
Mo Changsheng added this sentence, as if to hide his desire to build his foundation and to convince Mo Yuqing that he had no selfish motives.
Upon hearing this, Mo Changqing remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
Shuanghu Island.
Rainbow Sound Flying Sword Factory.
“Is this method really feasible?”
Chen Daoxuan’s eyes lit up when he heard Chen Xianhe’s idea, but his heart was still beating fast.
He felt that he had always misunderstood Thirteenth Uncle and thought that he was conservative and old-fashioned. He did not expect Thirteenth Uncle to be so bold as to play this trick.
” If the Mo Clan and the other six small clans can’t give up on the market for magical equipment, they will definitely take the bait!”
Chen Xianhe smiled confidently and said,” In short, this method can be summed up in one word. ”
As he spoke, Chen Xianhe raised two fingers, “”Borrowing momentum!”
“Borrowing momentum, what a good move!”
Chen Daoxuan muttered.
” However, if this method is to be effective, there must be a prerequisite. That is to force the Mo Clan and the other magic tool shops in the wandering cultivator market into a dead end.”
“Forced to a dead end?”
“Yes!”
Chen Xianhe’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light.” If we don’t force them into a corner, how could they dare to ignore the laws of the Qianyuan Sword Sect and take risks?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan instantly refreshed his understanding of Thirteenth Uncle.
As expected, this Thirteenth Uncle who dared to step into the Yun Nation’s battlefield with a cultivation of the third qi layer was definitely not as harmless as he looked on the surface.
Perhaps…
If it wasn’t for the burden of the family, Thirteenth Uncle might have gone even further if he chose to be a rogue cultivator.
Looking at Thirteenth Uncle’s pale sideburns, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but sigh.
“Since we want to force them into a dead end, we have to change our previous strategy of slowly shipping out goods and choose to ship in large quantities.
This way, expanding the flying sword factory is imperative. Fortunately, Dao Chu and the others are already proficient in refining the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword. They’re not afraid that no one will be able to refine flying swords after the factory is expanded.”
Chen Xianhe’s face flushed with excitement.
He knew that once this matter was completed, the Chen family would step onto a new level. They would no longer be a small, unknown family, but a well-known refining family in the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture..
