Chapter 927: Chapter 927: The Wealthy Merchant of the Void Mountain Sect
The concept of Feng Shui is widely seen in Star Sea.
Building houses, undertaking projects, even choosing a burial site after death, all utilize Feng Shui techniques.
Throughout history, spanning five thousand years, Feng Shui has long been established in Star Sea.
Since the time after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Feng Shui has become indispensable, with ordinary people having common uses for it, while special groups have their unique applications.
In ancient times, emperors regarded Dragon Veins as the best Feng Shui in the world; harnessing them would lead to a prosperous reign lasting for millennia, and they even called themselves True Dragon Sovereigns!
For martial artists, Dragon Veins have mysterious effects beyond harnessing power.
For example, Liu Zixuan’s Power of the Dragon Veins transforms the force of the Dragon Veins into his cultivation technique, allowing him to be invincible within the same realm and even challenge enemies across realms!
Or like what Gu Yu mentioned, using Cyan Dragon Coiling and Ying Dragon Ascending Feng Shui as the Array Base; having such a Feng Shui treasure ground as the base could turn an ordinary Grand Array into an extremely terrifying one. If a true Array Grandmaster sets it up, even Innate Emperor Realm experts might be unable to break it! This shows its power.
When Gu Yu proposed using Ying Dragon Ascending as the Array Base, Liu Zixuan was genuinely astounded.
Whether before the martial arts competition or during his days at the Profound Sword Sect, he would often study the Star Map, which contained countless Array Maps, giving him deep insight into arrays.
The arrays he’s casually laid out during daily battles were only temporarily effective, not considered top-tier grand arrays.
The truly formidable top-tier arrays are the kind Gu Yu spoke of, like the Ying Dragon Ascending Grand Array, similar to Sect Protection Arrays. They rely on favorable terrain to create the largest defensive array, making them, in some sense, an unbreakable existence!
So, regardless of the cost, Liu Zixuan is determined to establish this array!
This would provide him and everyone around him with the greatest protection!
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zixuan asked, "Who owns that piece of land?"
"Someone from Witch Country, and you’re familiar with the forces behind him," Mo Chengfeng replied with a helpless smile.
Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows, "People from the Kongshan Group?"
"Kongshan Group is just their external name; their real name is Void Mountain Sect. It’s similar to our domestic sects."
Gu Yu paused before continuing, "The people here this time are from the outer sect of Void Mountain Sect, and the person among them ranks second among Witch Country’s wealthy. But that piece of land hasn’t completely fallen into his hands yet." freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Since it hasn’t completely fallen into his hands, that means we still have a chance to snatch it!" Liu Zixuan replied with a mischievous smile.
Zhu Yi smirked and said, "Theoretically, we have a chance, but objectively speaking, the chance is very slim. He isn’t intervening as a martial artist from Void Mountain Sect, but as a wealthy merchant."
"For the authorities, maximizing the value of that land is their goal. The guy from Void Mountain Sect is rich, unmatched by few if he moves here; if he directly invests to buy the land, it will quickly boost the city’s economy, benefiting the authorities and locals greatly."
"Honestly, it boils down to two plans: if he acts as a wealthy merchant, we compete with wealth; if he intervenes as a martial artist, we compete with fists," Liu Zixuan said with a shrug.
Zhu Yi nodded, "That’s right, but Zixuan is currently acting as a wealthy merchant; if it comes down to money, even with both of us combined, it might be tough!"
"We haven’t tried yet, how can we already know it won’t work?"
In terms of martial arts realm, perhaps there are aspects that worry Liu Zixuan, but if it’s just about money, then it’s much easier!
With a slight upward curve of his lips, he asked, "How is that piece of land being sold?"
"The usual method by officials is bidding; first, you submit a plan, showing what you intend to do after buying it and its societal contributions, and second, who offers more money," Gu Yu explained, spreading his hands.
"Alright, then we’ll bid. Has the time been set?"
"Tomorrow morning at ten, in Yuqing City."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan smiled and looked at Zhu Yi, "Brother Zhu, this is your territory, what are you afraid of!"
"I..." Zhu Yi pouted, "If he were just a merchant, I wouldn’t fear anything, but his background is worrying!"
"Back then in Witch Country, I was indeed chased all over by Void Mountain Sect’s powerful figures, but things are different now. On Star Sea territory, Void Mountain Sect sends one, I’ll kill one; they send two, I’ll kill two!"
With these words, fierce determination flashed in Liu Zixuan’s eyes.
Clearly, his hatred for Void Mountain Sect was reignited once again!
"By the way, Zixuan, I need to tell you something in advance," Zhu Yi suddenly said, slapping his forehead.
"What is it?"
"Wang Kun has been transferred from Yuqing City; tomorrow’s bidding he might not be able to help us," Zhu Yi said. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Liu Zixuan paused upon hearing this. Wang Kun is the son of Dragon Spirit King Lao; if King Lao hadn’t participated in the martial arts competition, Liu Zixuan might have sought Wang Kun’s help.
But since the martial arts competition, with King Lao appearing as Dragon Spirit Elder, Liu Zixuan knew the gap between them had formed.
No matter how close they were before, they were now on separate paths. Additionally, for Celestial Dao Alliance to smoothly unify Martial Realm, Dragon Spirit surely played a significant role behind the scenes.
In some sense, King Lao and Wang Kun and Liu Zixuan are even considered adversaries!
Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "No need for his help."
"Alright then. For this grand project, I’ll invest all my assets," Zhu Yi’s action was quite admirable; everyone saw that he always supported Liu Zixuan, no matter the situation.
"Money can always be earned later; there’s no rush," Liu Zixuan said with a smile, "Alright, you all continue working, strive to finish this soon so I can focus on the showdown with Celestial Dao Alliance!"
"Brother Xuan, what are you going to do now?" Gu Yu asked.
"Borrow money!"
Leaving these words behind, Liu Zixuan headed directly down the mountain.
As Zhu Yi mentioned, even when combining Liu Zixuan’s and his own money, they might not match the wealthy from Void Mountain Sect, so Liu Zixuan naturally needed to make additional preparations.
If it were in the past, I might not have had any solutions, but things are different now; there are plenty of wealthy people around.
Don’t forget, the country’s two greatest antique merchants are right here with him. With them and some miscellaneous money, he can surely compete with the merchant from Void Mountain Sect!
After all, this is to build a fortress to protect everyone, so the necessary expenses shouldn’t be spared. When borrowing money, pride must not stand in the way!
