Causing a fire in the rear courtyard of the Wan's Chamber of Commerce was a very important part of Lee Xun's plan. Although, if they were to be forced to sell the core industries left behind in the Saiga Empire, then they would bet everything on this gamble, and would truly fight for their lives with this Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce, this was exactly what Lee Xun wanted. If Wan's Chamber of Commerce did not take out all of its belongings, how could they completely be defeated?
After Lee Xun left the Saiga Empire and went to the surrounding empires, he ingeniously convinced the biggest families in each of the empires that were eyeing the remnants of the Wan's Chamber of Commerce. They all decided to take the risk since the profits were too big. To their clans, they had been suppressed by the Wan's Chamber of Commerce for who knew how many years. Even if the focus of their Wan's Chamber of Commerce had shifted to the east, as long as the Wan's Chamber of Commerce wasn't completely withdrawn, it would still be restricted. Furthermore, at their scale, it would be very difficult to expand them. If they could take over the business with Wan's Chamber of Commerce, it would naturally be a great opportunity. Not only could they strengthen themselves, they could also cut off their biggest enemy.
After finishing all of these things, more than two days had already passed. After Lee Xun returned to the Gravity City, he asked around a little and he already knew that the Rong, Che, and Shui families had started to suppress the businesses left in the Saiga Empire with all their might. Actually, they themselves had also thought about it. It was just that they lacked a resolution, and Lee Xun had come to help them make it.
After this matter, Lee Xun had returned to Monte City to see the three beautiful women. As the saying goes, one day apart from meeting again after three years, kissing and hugging after seeing each other was sweet and sweet. It was just that Han Meiji was still a little shy and bashful, with a blushing face, causing Lei Jingjing and Shangguan Jing'er to "hehe" all the while laughing.
"Jing'er, how is things going here?" Lee Xun asked.
"So far, it appears to be about what we expected. It might even be a little better than what we expected. The Long, Wu, and Xue Families have cut off a few important routes to the Zhilong Merchant Guild in these three days, and as for the source of the merchants, it's very easy for our four families to settle on it. Originally, the Zhilong Merchant Guild had their prices fixed, but since they are weaker than the others, they can only swallow their anger. Now that we revealed our identities and offered a better price, they were naturally willing to cooperate. The Zhilong Chamber of Commerce would soon face a shortage of goods. If they couldn't complete the contract, they would face a huge compensation, and at the same time, lose their source of customers. In addition, they have lost a lot of manpower on the Merchant Road in the last two days.
"How is Qianye Clan, did you send anyone over to help?" This was what Lee Xun was most concerned about. If Qianye Clan came to help, it would depend on the extent of their support. According to the analysis of the Long Wu and Xue Families, Qianye Clan would not come to waste its manpower.
"I haven't discovered anything yet, the Longwu family's analysis is probably correct. Qianye Clan s only nurture a puppet to deal with them. If you really say that there's a possibility of injury, Qianye Clan s wouldn't easily be involved."
Lee Xun was not surprised either. Last time, when Qianye Su and the other two strong practitioners from the Earth Rank Peak were lost, Thousandleaf did not pursue the matter. It's just that Lee Xun still couldn't wrap his head around it. If Thousandleaf wanted to scheme against the Helan Empire and royal family, he definitely wouldn't be the emperor. After all, if he wanted the emperor's throne, it would be useless. Lee Xun felt that this was too unreliable.
"Lee Xun, have I made a shocking discovery in the past two days?" Lei Jingjing said somewhat excitedly.
"What discovery?" Seeing that, Lee Xun was puzzled.
Looking at Lee Xun's silly appearance, Lei Jingjing rolled her eyes at Lee Xun and said: "Didn't you ask me to help you translate those three ancient handwritten letters? I've already done it, and I've checked it, no problem. "
Lee Xun was immediately excited, how could he forget about this, he never thought that Lei Jingjing would finish translating it so quickly. In the villa by the lake, Lei Jingjing was very slow when she first started to translate, and she also complained quite a bit.
"So fast?"
Un, the reason why I was slow at the start is because I'm not familiar with those ancient languages at all. I rely entirely on the memories of the inheritance to transfer and as I translate more, I become more familiar with it.
"Quick, show it to me." Lee Xun said excitedly.
Lei Jingjing pointed at her beautiful face. How could Lee Xun not understand?
Receiving the newly translated letter from Lei Jingjing, Lee Xun became more and more apprehensive, and the more he read, the happier he became.
The first lesson told was how to strengthen the Spiritual Element Bead. It turned out that after a cultivator condensed the Spiritual Element Bead, they could absorb the supreme Spiritual Treasure s from the outside world to strengthen themselves. The so called Sovereign Spiritual Treasure, the basic condition was that one had to be born with it, to reach a level of over a hundred thousand years. For example, the Earth Fire Stone Ginseng and Bodhi Fruit that Qin Qing had acquired, although they were naturally raised, they were not even 10000 years old. For example, the Thunder Emperor Fruit that Lei Jingjing had obtained only had a place to grow, it was not "innately". The meaning of "innately" was that the Spiritual Treasure that was formed by the nature's spirit energy in a certain environment.
The letter recorded the best one or two supreme Spiritual Treasure of each type, and one of them was called "Glacial Lotus Fruit". The description of the water attribute supreme Spiritual Treasure was almost exactly the same as the ice fruit Lee Xun had seen being absorbed by himself in the cold pond of Duanmu Clan. According to the records in the letter, the Sovereign Spiritual Treasure was full of spirituality and would choose its own master, but the requirements were extremely high. If one was not acknowledged, even if they absorbed it forcefully, they would die from the backlash.
"Glacial Lotus Fruit" had a miraculous effect of refining the soul. Whoever absorbed it, their soul force would be continuously roasted by the Netherworld Flame to be strengthened, and at the same time, they would be able to sense the soul fluctuations within a certain range that did not exceed their own soul force. Adding the power of "Netherworld Flame Ice" into the attack could freeze the soul of the person who absorbed it.
Lee Xun had the urge to try the "Nether Flame Ice", but this was not a joke. If he wanted to kill someone, he could only smile bitterly and say in his heart, he could only wait until he met someone he absolutely must kill in the future.
The second method described how to refine the body to become as strong as a Soul Sword. The first method described in detail the best parts of the body that could be used to strengthen the body through the use of a large number of Ten-thousand-year Spiritual Treasure. The second method described how to use the spirit realm, which was the place where the spirit beasts were produced. Lee Xun finally understood why his Sword Spirit King bloodline was so excited about the cold pond. So there was such an effect. If he had five Spiritual Element Pearls, wouldn't he have five chances of strengthening them? In other words, he would also have to absorb five Sovereign Spiritual Treasure in order to cultivate his body to the level of a Sword of the Sword Spirit King.
Lee Xun was troubled again. Where would he find so many Ten-thousand-year Spiritual Treasure? As for the second method, it was naturally the best choice, but the Supreme Spiritual Treasure was extremely rare, if not for the translation of the letter, Lee Xun would not even know that these things existed. The old man and the others had never mentioned it before, so Lee Xun guessed that they probably did not know of the existence of the Zhi Zun Spiritual Treasure. Even a Seclusion Family that had been passed down for more than ten thousand years like the Baili Clan had no idea how lucky he would be if he were to encounter a "Glacial Lotus Fruit".
When he read the third letter, Lee Xun's heart couldn't help but burn. This was equivalent to a treasure map, a place called "Jade Light Realm". Not only that, according to the description, the "Jade Light Realm" was very suitable for the growth of Spiritual Treasure. Lee Xun could not help but think, if this place had really been forgotten by people since the Ancient Era, then how many Spiritual Treasure there were now?
She then passionately kissed Lei Jingjing, causing her charming face to immediately turn red.
"Jing'er, how long do you think it will take for us to reach an end?" Lee Xun naturally wanted to understand what was happening here as soon as possible so that he could search for the "Jade Light Realm". That was much better than aimlessly searching for Ten-thousand-year Spiritual Treasure s in the Demonic Beast Mountain. Furthermore, Sword Soul Continent was not comparable to Swordsoul Island, if he met with Demonic Beast experts from Heaven Rank, Lee Xun did not dare say that he would have a high chance of winning.
"Hehe, are you thinking about that 'Jade Light Realm'?" Shangguan Jing'er laughed.
Lee Xun nodded, and laughed: "This is a huge treasure trove, how can I not be concerned about it?"
This is a letter that was passed down since the ancient times. Who knows how many times the names written on it have been changed. "
Shangguan Jing'er's words had undoubtedly splashed a large bucket of cold water on Lee Xun's body. Lee Xun had been too excited for a moment, and had forgotten that this was passed down from god knows how many tens of thousands of years ago. Forget the name of the place, perhaps even the topography described above had undergone a huge change.
Seeing Lee Xun's pair of eyes glaze over, Shangguan Jing'er and Lei Jingjing both burst out in laughter. Seeing that, Lee Xun immediately understood that Shangguan Jing'er was purposely teasing him, they definitely already had a clue.
"Jingjing, Jing'er, hurry up and say it, don't make me worry, my heart is like a cat's paw right now."
Shangguan Jing'er pointed at Han Meiji and said, "Lee Xun, Meiji has the title of the 'Live Map' of Sword Soul Continent. He doesn't know everything about the geography and history of Sword Soul Continent, but more or less, she has it."
Seeing Han Meiji lowering her head, Lee Xun went over to her side and also gave her a kiss.
"You're annoying. Who let you kiss me?" Han Meiji pouted.
Lee Xun held Han Meiji in his arms and said, "Good Meiji, do you already know the location of the 'Jade Light Realm'?"
"Originally, I knew. However, after being kissed by you, I had forgotten about it."
Lee Xun's face lit up, Han Meiji was really cute, and kissed Han Meiji a few more times.
"Okay, okay. You're really too disrespectful. I'm truly afraid of you." Han Meiji rolled her eyes at Lee Xun bashfully. "If my guess is correct, the 'Jade Light Realm' should be within the territory of the Niluo Empire, which is known as the 'Country of the Desert'. I must look up the specific location through the local geographical map."
"Hehe, then we'll go to the Empire of Niluo and wait for the matter here."
Shangguan Jing'er said: "I estimate that in another two days, the general situation will be set. The only thing left is to waste time, there's no use for me to stay here, it's good enough with Little Aunt."
In these past two days, Lee Xun did not really do anything, but during these two days, it had spread frequently, and more and more forces of the Mo Na Empire had joined the ranks of the Zhi Long Merchant Guild. With the help of the Long family and Xue, as well as Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce, now that no one had taken the lead, the Zhi Long Merchant Guild was no longer able to retaliate at all, and even their biggest support, the Qianye Clan, had not been transferred over.
As such, the outcome was already set. Lee Xun bade farewell to the three Patriarchs of the Dragon Wu and Xue Clans, and left the Mo Na Empire, heading towards the Niluo Empire.
