Chapter 39: Yang Kun's Scheme
With the silver, Wu Ming naturally became a peddler again.
The last time, with 30,000 taels of silver, he made a profit of 490,000 taels of silver. After a few more days passed, Wu Ming spent 100,000 taels of silver as capital and now has nearly 2 million in assets. In fact, it's not that he didn't want to exchange more, mainly because if he did just a little bit more, it would have attracted pursuit and killing. Now this has already caught the attention of many people.
He wants money but doesn't want spiritual stones, and he has countless elixirs in his possession, including even detoxification elixirs... And then there's that mysterious Nourishing Veins Elixir. If this isn't going to attract attention, it would be impossible.
Spent 1.5 million two silver to exchange secondary career medical skills for advanced ones.
There are more than 400,000 left, and it's not necessary to exchange them for cultivation experience. The Dragon Leg Technique and the Unparalleled Finger have already been exchanged, and even if there is more experience, it won't be of much use. As for the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, that's a bit too far-fetched, the price is too high, no money, and not necessary, the foundation of swordsmanship is still not stable enough.
Originally wanted to wait until leaving the mountain city to exchange elixirs and do some trading, also to avoid drawing attention. But just as the two were packing their bags to leave the mountain city, someone sent an invitation over.
One of the three major families in Kuai Shan City, the Yang family!
"My master cordially invites you, and also requests that the young hero and this female hero come to our manor for a chat." An old man with a smiling face stood in front of Wu Ming.
"Ah, good, since your family's patriarch has so graciously invited me, I'll condescend to visit the Yang residence!" Wu Ming heard these words and had a fire burning in his heart, with a hint of gunpowder in his tone. However, he couldn't figure out how the Yang family had discovered his true identity. Every time he went to sell elixirs, he would disguise himself, so what did they mean by this? If they truly wanted to form an alliance, wouldn't that broken-hearted young master who left a few days ago be more worthy of admiration?"
The old man in Yang's family didn't mind either, still smiling, but that smile seemed a bit stiff.
Yang's mansion faces north and south, located in the west of the mountain city, a huge mansion.
After entering the door, he saw Old Man Yang smiling and welcoming him.
"Heh heh, since the two young heroes from Xuantian Sect have come to Kuanshan City, you shouldn't just pass by without visiting my Yang family. If word gets out, I, Yang Kun, would lose face in front of your Sect Leader! Come on, come inside, please sit inside!"
Yang Kun politely led Wu Ming and Shi Jingxuan into the living room.
"Come on in, have some tea!"
Wu Ming and Shi Jingxuan were even more vigilant. This old man knew the elder of Xuantian Sect, but there were over a dozen elders in Xuantian Sect, and Elder Wang hadn't introduced him before. Moreover, even if they did know each other, it shouldn't be to this extent, right? He was considered an elder, so he should have been the one to visit personally as a junior, how could he be so polite?
This world has its own rules, and Wu Ming and Shi Jingxuan, even if they have no experience in this world, also know this.
"Come on, come on, nephew, have some tea!" Yang Kun took a light sip from his own teacup.
Wu Ming and Shi Jingxuan remained silent, Yang Kun's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, then he burst out laughing: "Two young heroes, to be honest. This time I invited you two, it was because of the rumors circulating outside that someone is selling detoxification pills and also the nourishing pulse pill for internal cultivation. Secondly, it was because of what happened on the Hai River a few days ago. According to my knowledge, your strength is absolutely among the top ten young masters, if I wanted to make things difficult for you two, it would be impossible, so please put your minds at ease."
This time, Yang Kun didn't go on about how he had a good relationship with someone from Xuan Tian Sect. That's all nonsense.
"It's like this, I have a son who is only nine years old this year and has already reached the realm of Post-Heaven Threefold Heaven. In Kuishan City, he is also known as a genius, which makes me feel gratified. However, although Kuishan City is prosperous in trade, when it comes to martial arts, even if the three families of Kuishan City join forces, they are no match for Xuantian Sect. I want him to worship under Shaoyou Gate, but I don't know...if that's possible?"
Yang Kun's idea is great, Wu Ming looks at his face and he's absolutely under twenty years old. He's so young and already has the strength of the top ten young masters. If he becomes his master, he'll definitely make a lot of money. After seven or eight years, Wu Ming will accumulate wealth and power, and he might even enter the top ten young masters list. By then, won't the Yang family have leaned on a big tree? Moreover, the Xuan Tian Sect is one of the three major sects in Jingzhou!
Of course, in just a few days, Yang Kun only knew this much. He didn't know Wu Ming's status in the Xuantian Sect and could only guess that he might be a specially cultivated seed disciple. If he had known that Wu Ming was just doing odd jobs, he probably wouldn't have been so polite today.
Become a master? If you can bring out his skills, the Yang family can also become a top-notch family in this world. At that time, who would still care about having a son from the Top Ten Young Masters List as a backer? Your own family can cultivate such talents!
Wu Ming could hear the threatening tone in the old man's words, but he was a stubborn person and the more the other party spoke like this, the less willing he was. Besides, when I'm looking for an apprentice, can your dogshit family threaten me?
"What if I say no?" Wu Ming said coldly.
Yang Kun smiled and said, "Hehe, if my virtuous nephew doesn't agree, the Yang family naturally won't force it either. Let's drink tea! Oh, right, that Zhang family and Li family seem to be quite curious about you. When you go out, be careful not to get caught up in their ways! They're not as easy-going as I am, after all they only know that my virtuous nephew has the coveted Dan medicine, but don't know that he also possesses unparalleled martial arts skills."
Wu Ming's pupils suddenly constricted, and he glared at the Yang family. How dare they still threaten him after being reduced to such a state?
Are you from the three major families of Kuai Shan City? Hmph, if you dare to mess with me, I will make sure all of you are annihilated!
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. This time, the two of us have some business to attend to in Haizhou, and we'll pay our respects at Yang Manor when we have the chance!"
Wu Ming nodded and led Shi Jingxuan out.
"Old man, are you going to let them go just like that?" The old man in front frowned and asked.
Yang Kun waved his hand and said in a cold voice, "What else can we do? Can we still catch him without letting go? Not to mention whether we can catch them quietly, I'm afraid there are people from the Zhang and Li families lurking outside the door. If something happens, they will probably notify Xuantian Sect immediately. Will my Yang family be able to bear the consequences then? Don't try to steal a chicken and end up losing the rice instead. Let's let the people from the Zhang and Li families go and probe the situation first. Hehe, their ancestor is more powerful than mine, and they don't have flying demon beasts!"
"Hmm, that's also true!" The old steward nodded thoughtfully. His own family's ancestor had seen the young man's abilities, but the ancestors of the Zhang and Li families had arrived later and hadn't seen it! No wonder Master just spoke like that.
"Right, go get Lao Er, I need to see him about something!"
Yang Kun waved his hand, and in his heart he was again calculating something.
