Miracle Throne Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Using money to buy strength

The Chu Family headquarters.  There were several hundred Chu Family swordsman respectfully forming two columns, even the Chu Family Head Chu Shanhe personally came out to welcome the guest.  The Chu Family was in a dire situation, but with the remote great elder personally returning, it would bring a boost to the Chu Family!

The remote great elder Chu Shi was in the True Soul Realm, not being any weaker than that old undying Yun Tianhe.  His battle power was even higher than Yun Tianhe's!

The three great families had suffered losses one after the other because they didn't have a True Soul Realm expert in command, so they had to do things carefully.  They allowed Chu Tian to rise step by step, to the point where they could no longer take care of him.

Chu Shanhe cupped his hands towards Chu Shi, "Remote great elder….."

"No need to say anything, I understand it all!"  Chu Shi's sharp as blade eyes swept over everyone, "What is Xinghe's current condition?  Bring me to see him!"

Chu Xinghe had been stabilized, but he wasn't out of danger yet.

The Netherworld Ghost Flame was too vicious, not using heat to burn things, but rather using source spirit to cause damage to one's cultivation.  Chu Tian's Netherworld Ghost Flame was completely different compared to normal Netherworld Flame.  It had been refined by the Spirit King for over ten thousand years, creating a powerful strength that could corrode meridians and deal permanent damage.

When Chu Xinghe had been hit by the Raging Flame Slash, a large amount of Netherworld Flames instantly entered into his body's meridians.  This injury was very serious and it was very difficult to restore Chu Xinghe's cultivation in a short period of time.

Chu Xinghe had slashed Chu Tian once, almost crippling him.

Chu Tian had also given Chu Xinghe a slash, also almost crippling him.

For this grudge, it had to be repaid sooner or later!

Chu Shanhe was filled with hate, "That d.a.m.n brat Chu Tian.  With serious injuries like this, Xinghe will not be able to recover himself in a short period of time!"

"The body is easy to cure, the heart is very difficult."  Chu Shi looked at Chu Xinghe lying on the bed with his hair down and his pale white face, "Xinghe has had talent since he was a child and never lost a fight against anyone unless it was someone of the older generation.  Now that he has been defeated by a unknown, younger person with a lower cultivation base, it will leave a heart demon inside of him."

Chu Shanhe knit his brows.  Chu Xinghe was the future of the Chu Family.  The family counted on him to gain the t.i.tle of marquis and bring their family to new heights.  How could it end just like this?

"This heart's knot is related to Chu Tian.  I will immediately gather the family's powers and spare nothing to kill him!"

"No!"  Chu Shi stopped Chu Shanhe.  With Chen Bingyu at his side, it was hard for the Chu Family to fight them.  If they thoroughly enraged that madman, then nothing good would come to their Chu Family, "Xinghe's road from now on is very long.  He will meet many other geniuses, but we can't just solve everything for him, right?  He has to personally fix his own heart demon!"

Chu Shi entered the room.

Chu Xinghe slowly opened his eyes, "Remote great elder?"

Chu Shi severely said, "Xinghe, have you resigned yourself to being defeated?"

Chu Xinghe's eyes flashed with a deep rage and hatred, but this loss was a very big hit to him.

"Very good, your eyes are very satisfying.  Remember, no matter how strong a person is, they will never always win!"  Chu Shi could see the deep hatred within Chu Xinghe's eyes.  With deep hate, he would not give up, "If you can't even bear the blow of a single hit, how could you bear the responsibility of raising up the Chu Family?  Rise!  Tell me!  Do you think you are weaker than Chu Tian?"

"No!"  Chu Xinghe tightly gripped his fists, "That's impossible!  He just won using the opportunity given to him.  In a head on fight, I would be able to kill him in a single slash!"

There was no need to doubt that!

From his previous battle, it was clear that he had to go all out against Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang.  Although Chu Tian's battle strength was not normal, it was not enough for him to fight Chu Xinghe yet!

"You should not lie down here and waste time!"  Chu Shi severely said, "You have to regain the honor that you have lost.  I have already sent a challenge to Chu Tian and once you're healed up, you will immediately duel with him!"

Chu Shanhe was shocked, "Remote great elder, this might not be right.  I'm afraid Xinghe's injuries won't recover in a short period of time….."

"Why do you think that I came back so suddenly?"  Chu Shi took out a jade box from his chest, "Take a look at this!"

Chu Shanhe opened the jade box.

A shocking amount of spiritual energy poured out, like a wave of wind inside the hall.  Many illusions appeared around the box, sending everyone into a daze.

Chu Shi replied, "This is the Seven Song Spirit Ginseng that I accidently obtained.  The Seven Song Spirit Ginseng is a natural Elixir and this one is thirty-forty thousand years old, already turning into a Sacred Medicine, coming close to becoming an Immortal Medicine.  

"It's actually a half step Immortal Grade Elixir!"

"It still hasn't reached that grade yet.  Immortal Medicine are very precious and with the dry spiritual vein of the Southern Summer Country, how could one be grown?  Although it isn't a half step Immortal Medicine, it is a top cla.s.s Sacred Medicine, easily being worth billions of gold coins.  This medicine can cure all injuries and increase one's cultivation base quickly, allowing Xinghe to breakthrough."

Top cla.s.s Sacred Medicine?!

Materials were divided into the following grades: Normal Grade, Spiritual Grade, Sacred Grade, Immortal Grade, and Divine Grade.

Same grade materials were also divided into low cla.s.s, medium cla.s.s, high cla.s.s, and top cla.s.s.  The Dirt Burrowing Fruit that Chu Tian spent a large amount of points for was only a medium grade Sacred Medicine.  It was easy to imagine what kind of value this Seven Song Spirit Ginseng had, it was hard to find many like it in the Southern Summer Country.  It was a priceless super cla.s.s Sacred Medicine!

Chu Shanhe finally realized how precious this medicine was.  He said to Chu Xinghe with an excited voice, "Why have you not given your thanks yet!"

Chu Xinghe quickly tried to bow, "Many thanks remote great elder!"

Chu Shanhe said, "In the current Four Young Masters, Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang are crippled and Yun Yao is a servant to Chu Tian, so they will not be able to do much.  As long as you can defeat Chu Tian, there will be no matches for you in Central State and your prestige will be even higher than before!"

Chu Shanhe held the jade box and a cruel glow flashed in his eyes.

He needed to make Chu Tian suffer one hundred times the shame he suffered!

"Don't cause any troubles for Miracle Commerce right now.  We'll let them have a period of peace and quiet."

"If we don't do anything, won't the people of Central State think our Chu Family is afraid of them?"

"It's fine.  I want to stop Chu Tian, so we won't do anything for now.  Once we do make a move, we must destroy Miracle Commerce."  Chu Shi revealed a cruel expression, "The Ye and Luo Family's old monsters have been near Imperial City lately and I have already written a letter to them.  Once they come back to Central State, at that time….."

If the three remote great elders worked together.

It was completely different from the three great families working together!

Chu Shanhe nodded.  If it was like this, there was no way for them to lose.

Out of the family heads thirty-forty years ago, Yun Tianhe was the strongest.

However, the other three remote great elders had found suitable successors and could feel relaxed leaving their families.  They could wander and practice their cultivations, gaining chances to become stronger.  Only Yun Tianhe had no successor, so he had no choice but to stay.  Adding in the fact that his family focused on academics, he did not chase after becoming stronger.

Because he had stayed in Central State City, the difference between them had been surpa.s.sed.

"Trees will be blown down by wind, gra.s.s on the side will stay safe."  Chu Shi was old but powerful, "The Divine Wind Marquis is strong and Chu Tian is famous right now, so we will bide our time to strike."

The three great families had all lasted several hundred years, they were not easy to defeat.  As long as they can preserve their family's cores and the three remote great elders work together, even the Divine Wind Marquis had to be apprehensive.  Once the right opportunity came, wouldn't it be as easy as pie to kill Chu Tian?

It was no big deal causing some criticism!

Because the result would prove everything!

The one thing that Chu Shi was worried about was that Chu Xinghe might not be able to kill Chu Tian.  Of course Chu Shi was not worried that Chu Xinghe would lose, but rather he was worried that the Divine Wind Marquis would interfere and stop Chu Xinghe from killing Chu Tian.

Chu Shanhe let out a long sigh!

With the remote great elder's plan, there was no need to worry about anything.

Most of the Chu Family's territory had been obtained by the great remote elder and the rest had been obtained by the various experts of the Chu Family.  They all had ruthless hearts, not a single one was normal.  What did the Divine Wind Marquis count for?  Even if he was a marquis and a veteran of the battlefield, he was not better than the three families in terms of strategizing.  

Just wait!

Chu Tian did not have much time left!

……

The next day.

It had spread all over Central State City that the Chu Family's remote great elder was back and Chu Xinghe had challenged Chu Tian!

The Chu Family had even held a press released.  In a very arrogant manner, they said, "Chu Tian is too weak right now.  Even if Chu Xinghe defeated him, it would not be a meaningful victory.  They could give Chu Tian a period of time to break through into the Ill.u.s.trious Soul Realm before they would fight him!"

After this news was spread, the entirety of Central State City shook!

Chu Xinghe challenging Chu Tian was a battle that everyone was looking forward to!

Was Chu Tian weak?

Of course he wasn't!

He had defeated Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang by himself!

A single person defeating two young masters at once!

This meant that Chu Tian had the qualification to share a t.i.tle with Chu Xinghe.

Right now, many places had listed Chu TIan as a super talent and had even created the "Netherworld Young Master" t.i.tle for him.  Obtaining his fame from that strange sword and obtaining this t.i.tle meant that Chu Tian had the qualification to fill a place in people's hearts!

When the Chu Family's news had been sent over.

Chu Tian revealed a calm smile.  The Chu Family would play nice and let him breakthrough?  What bulls.h.i.t!  This was nothing more than Chu Xinghe being injured and not being able to fight.  They were pretending to give Chu Tian time to give a step up to the Chu Family and show off their spirit!

Chu Tian could guess most of it, but he could not guess everything.

Chu Xinghe's injuries weren't fake, but this time wasn't just for healing himself, rather also to breakthrough in strength!

This top cla.s.s Sacred Medicine could not be directly swallowed!

That would be too much of a waste!

In order to display the might of the Sacred Medicine, one had to find the appropriate auxiliary medicine!

Yun Yao couldn't think this through, "Are you really prepared to declare war on them?  Chu Xinghe is completely different from the two you defeated!"

"I'm very clear on his strength!"  Chu Tian had fought Chu Xinghe in the trial s.p.a.ce and knew how profound his sword art was.  Moreover with Chu Xinghe's full strength attack, it was enough for him to skip several levels, "Let him come!  If he dares challenge me, then I'll fight him!"

Yun Yao really did not believe that Chu Tian could defeat Chu Xinghe.

Only Chu Tian's creations were too miraculous, so Yun Yao was feeling conflicted.

He could not compete with Chu Xinghe in any perspective, but what if he revealed a shocking surprise?  Back in the trial tower, didn't no one believe in him as well?  Finally he had made everyone's eyes pop out wide!

Chu Tian put away this matter first and focused fully on helping the young miss, Yingying, Nangong, and the others cultivate.

The young miss and Yingying were both in the 1st Awakened Soul Layer and their Starlight Immortal Bodies were in the peak of the Gla.s.s Body Realm.

Chu Tian used the Starlight Stone and other medicines to help them break through the peak of the Gla.s.s Body Realm and to help them reach the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer!

Not just this, Chu Tian also brought out a bunch of half step Sacred Medicine and combined it with the ten thousand year old spiritual honey, allowing them to break through to the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer!

The young miss and Yingying were not combatants, so they did not need to stabilize their realm or practice cultivation techniques.  Chu Tian spared no effort in increasing their cultivation base, so their promotion speed was quite fast.  It was expected that in ten days, they would reach the peak of the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer.

Chu Tian and Nangong Yun were not slacking off, they were trying to break through to the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer.

They used quite a bit of money over this time period, spending a total of one-two hundred million gold coins!  Even to the Four Great Families, this was not a small figure!  Miracle Commerce was expanding quickly, but most of its profit was put into development and investment.  They could only use the company's name to take out a loan from the Yun Family for now.

This was not a small figure to the Yun Family, so Chu Tian helped the Yun Family refine a Sacred Grade Pill.  It would increase the chances of Yun Yao breaking through to the 5th Awakened Soul Layer, and it would count as a bit of interest.

It had to be know.

This era's alchemy technique was very crude!

The pills made from middle cla.s.s Sacred Medicine refined by the Southern Summer Country's alchemy masters could not compare to the pill made from low cla.s.s Sacred Medicine refined by Chu Tian.  So, Chu Tian helping Yun Yao refine a Sacred Pill meant that the quality of the pill would double!

Yun Yao's potential was not bad.

Her current cultivation technique was personally reformed by Chu Tian.

Yun Yao had a large chance of attacking the 5th Awakened Soul Layer now!

Lin Mu, Fang Han, and Yun Xiao also quickly reached the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer.  Lin Mu and Fang Han exchanged for a Sacred Medicine from the tower in order to prepare for attacking the 4th Awakened Soul Layer and Yun Xiao had the support of his family.  Their strength weren't bad, so they would have a large room to grow.

The consumption of resources was getting faster!

Chu Tian's focus was to refine a Sacred Pill for the young miss, Yingying, Lin Mu, Fang Han, and Nangong.  To refine this kind of Sacred Pill, quite a bit of half step Sacred Materials were needed and the one hundred million borrowed from the Yun Family was not enough.  In the end, they took several tens of millions from Miracle Commerce which satisfied their needs!

Their cultivation needs were too big!

Chu Tian needed to spare no efforts in expanding the company!

The Four Great Families only focused on training four successors, why was that?  Were the other talents of the families not good enough?

Wrong!  There were several people in their families with talent, but even with the power of the Four Great Families, training them at the same time was too hard, so they could only pick a few key individuals to focus on!  Chu Tian realized this a long time ago.  The top powers of the continent did not have the most talents, but rather they had the greatest monopoly on resources!

Training from a power and training alone was not that different at all!
