Grievances Settled, a Hundred Thousand a Year: An Extra Chapter for the Coachman Who Loves Braised Pork Ribs with Kelp
Cold sweat dripped down the cheeks of Zhou Xiandao and the two Foundation Establishment from the Zhou Household.
They dared not move, not even raise their heads, for fear of displeasing Yang Haoyu and having them killed on the spot.
Don't assume that this kind of thing won't happen.
The Cultivation World is cruel; so-called morality is often just a fig leaf.
What can you do if the strong don't care about this fig leaf?
We can only wait to die!
As for the Feng Household, would they really risk a bloody battle with the Yang Household over a mere Foundation Establishment Lineage?
It seems highly unlikely!
Therefore, one must always remain humble in front of cultivators stronger than oneself. This is an ironclad rule in the Cultivation World, unless your relationship with that cultivator is deep enough to bridge the gap.
The tense atmosphere lasted for a long time before Yang Haoyu finally spoke, "Young friend Zhou seems to have forgotten that the relationship between our two families is not exactly friendly!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xiandao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yang Haoyu spoke, it meant there was room for negotiation!
He hurriedly said, "Senior Yang, I have come here to resolve this grievance. My Zhou Household is willing to give three hundred catties of Second-Rank Low-Grade Black Iron to the Yang Household as compensation."
At the same time, I am willing to have all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in my Lineage Heavenly Dao Oath, that they will not hate the Yang Household because of this matter, and that they will never seek revenge.
We hope the Yang Household will forgive our past offenses, considering that the Yang and Zhou families fought together against the Foreign Races!
After Zhou Xiandao finished speaking, he respectfully lowered his head.
Above, Yang Haoyu sat on his throne, his expression flickering.
Three hundred catties of Second-Rank Low-Grade Black Iron, at the market price of 180 Spirit Stones per Black Iron, is worth a full 54,000 Spirit Stones.
This is no small sum of money; for the Zhou Household, coming up with these Spirit Stones is no easy task.
Looking back at the previous feud between the two families, it seems that the Yang Household has not lost a single member, while the Zhou Household has lost a promising Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.
But...
Yang Haoyu narrowed his eyes. Not enough!
The Yang Household has just become Golden Core Household and needs to establish its authority.
54,000 Spirit Stones are not enough!
"Four hundred catties of Second-Rank Low-Grade Black Iron, and each of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators behind you lose an arm. All Cultivators of the Zhou Household must Heavenly Dao Oath, forbidding any revenge against the Yang Household for this matter. Then this matter will be considered closed!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Zhou Xiandao's face turned pale, and his hands clenched involuntarily.
He understood that the Yang Household was making an example of him, and his Zhou Household was that chicken.
He wanted to resist, but... he couldn't.
The Zhou Household has over a hundred Cultivators and tens of thousands of Mortal descendants; they cannot be destroyed because of his momentary anger.
After a long silence, amidst the trembling of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind him, Zhou Xiandao nodded, "Alright!"
Pfft! Pfft!
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and brought his knife down. His Spiritual Power transformed into an exceptionally sharp Gang Qi, severing an arm from each of the two Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood motionless behind him.
These two Foundation Establishment were the same two who had narrowly escaped from Yang Tianyou's clutches. They were both among the younger generation of the Zhou Household and possessed exceptional talent.
However, having lost an arm, their path to immortality can be said to have been cut in half.
Forget about achieving the Golden Core; the Three Origins Returning to One stage will completely block them.
In addition, cultivation speed will be greatly affected, especially breaking through bottlenecks, which will become more difficult.
Call--
Two flames rose up, Earthheart Flame blazed fiercely, quickly burning away both arms.
Zhou Xiandao watched this scene with a sorrowful expression, but dared not say anything more.
"Alright, Heavenly Dao Oath and leave. Let's consider this matter closed. My Yang Household will not retaliate against your Zhou Household for this matter from now on. Apart from this, our two families can continue our cooperation in other areas as normal!"
"Also, five years from now is the Yang Household's Golden Core Banquet, and you are welcome to send someone to attend!"
After Yang Haoyu finished speaking, Zhou Xiandao quickly nodded in response.
He and two Zhou Household Foundation Establishment from the Zhou family Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot, promising to gather four hundred catties of Second-Rank Low-Grade Black Iron within three months and deliver it to the Yang Household.
Thus, the feud between the two families came to an end!
Guest Reception Hall, Front Hall!
Seeing the Zhou Household Old Ancestor walk out with a complicated expression, and the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators behind him who had lost their arms.
The other Lineage representatives had different expressions, but they all felt a surge of awe and respect for the Yang Household, including the Liu Household, who were related by the Marriage Alliance.
Taking the head of the table, Yang Tianyou glanced at Zhou Xiandao and the others, and said calmly, "Five years from now, my Yang Household will hold Golden Core Banquet. Please remember this."
After the meeting concluded, the representatives of the various Lineage returned home with mixed feelings.
Before long, news of what happened at the meeting spread.
In particular, the Yang Household's ruthless methods against the Zhou Household were like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of many Lineage who had not yet come to their senses, instantly bringing them to their senses.
The Yang Household is different now!
In addition, there's the matter of the Golden Core Banquet.
Although there were some doubts about why the Yang Household held the Golden Core Banquet five years later.
However, all the major Lineage are still starting to prepare congratulatory gifts now.
Lineage like the Huang Household, Liu Household, and Zhuang Household families, who relied on the Yang Household for their livelihood, even sent people to other counties to purchase precious Spirit Items.
One month later, Purple Moon Mountain.
Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou sat facing each other, discussing something.
"Are the supplies for advancing to the Third-Tier Spirit Vein ready?" Yang Haoyu asked.
"Not yet, but the Gold and Silver Alliance already knows about our Old Ancestor's breakthrough to Golden Core stage. They're preparing to increase their cooperation with us, and we expect to gather these resources soon," Yang Tianyou replied with a smile.
"Hmm, how's the matter of the Third Tier Demon Wolf's Inner Core going?"
"Thirteenth Brother is keeping an eye on it. He sent word a few days ago that an Auction will be held in Wave Moon County in three months, and there will be an Inner Core of a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Ironback Azure Wolf at the auction."
"Ironback Azure Wolf? It's a good match for Wolf Uncle. Send some men with enough Spirit Stones on the mission!"
"My idea is to have Fifth Granduncle lead a group there. He's recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and it's time for him to get out and move around."
"Alright, let's do it this way! Have Dang Mo, Qiong Chuan, Tian Wang take the Earth Vein Rock Rhino to Wave Moon County for the Auction. As for Spirit Stones, allocate them 100,000!"
"By the way, do we have enough Spirit Stones? Moonlight Cold Crystal is Fourth Tier Spirit Material after all, we should keep at least half of it, we never know when we might need it."
"That's enough. Thanks to Thirteenth Brother, our Lineage business is growing bigger and bigger. The Commerce Hall alone generates a net profit of forty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones every year."
"Besides the Commerce Hall, the Lineage's income from other businesses is also increasing."
"Regarding mineral veins alone, besides the Bianhe Mountain Spirit Stone Vein which brings in 28,000 spirit stones annually, the Azurefrost Iron vein in the Fierce Ghost Cave can also bring in a net profit of 3,000 to 4,000 Spirit Stones each year."
"Adding to the other three Tier 2 veins and twenty-eight First-Tier veins, the annual net profit is another forty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones."
"In addition, the various spirit medicine, Spirit Grains, Spirit Beast Meat, and fish cultivated by the Agriculture Hall also generate a significant income, with an annual net profit of at least 15,000 Spirit Stones."
"Adding in other miscellaneous incomes, our Lineage's annual net profit has already exceeded 100,000 Spirit Stones!" Yang Tianyou excitedly calculated the Lineage's income for Yang Haoyu.
Yang Haoyu was truly shocked when he calculated the results.
A net profit of 100,000 Spirit Stones a year—how terrifying is that?
This is net profit, meaning the Yang Household can accumulate 100,000 Spirit Stones every year. And if they keep doing this day after day...
