Taking Stock of the Gains

Night once again enveloped Mo Family Fortress.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, Mo Family Fortress was now much quieter.

The massive Mo Family Fortress lies sprawling in the Salt City Center, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.

"Patriarch, I'm leaving the alliance matters to you from now on. I will be heading to Misty Cloud Mountain with Nalan Yanran first thing tomorrow morning..."

In the study, only the patriarch Mo Lan and the newly appointed Great Elder Mo Tang were present.

Upon hearing Mo Tang's words, Mo Lan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The latter was very clear that, for the Mo Clan at present, although the Mo Alliance was important, what was even more important was the Misty Cloud Sect, which was thousands of miles away!

"I have prepared the gift to be offered to the Misty Cloud Sect. Great Elder, you can take it with you when you set off tomorrow."

Mo Lan handed over a Storage Ring and said in a deep voice.

"Whether our Mo Clan can seize this opportunity to soar to new heights depends entirely on you, Great Elder!"

That's a pretty strong statement.

This can also be described as the first test Mo Tang has faced since taking office!

If he can successfully regain the Misty Cloud Sect's attention to the Mo Clan, his influence within the family will be no less than that of Mo Cheng in the past.

To this, Mo Tang simply smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, Master, leave it to me!"

If you knew that I'd almost finished conquering the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, wouldn't all you losers be kneeling on the ground calling me daddy?

Taking over as the Great Elder brings Mo Tang benefits far beyond just a title...

Mo Cheng has controlled the Mo Clan for so many years, and who knows how many valuable things he has acquired from the family. Although he has spent a lot of time researching that Transplant Technique, the resources he has left behind are still astonishing!

After his death, although the lineage of the Great Elder did have descendants, these things did not strictly belong to the Great Elder, so they were all taken over by Mo Tang.

Although this action greatly angered the Great Elder's faction, they were completely powerless against Mo Tang at this moment.

The moment Mo Cheng died and Mo Tang took over, more than half of the high-ranking members of the families who had originally been loyal to the Great Elder switched sides and joined his side...

Even among them was the Second Elder, a confidant and staunch supporter of the Great Elder, who was the gray-haired old man who had previously reprimanded Mo Tang.

I don't know if this guy is afraid that Mo Tang will come after him later, so he is very eager and thorough in his defection.

This old guy even found out several of the Great Elder's secret treasure vaults, which has made the people who were originally part of the Great Elder's faction hate him to death now.

Mo Tang was naturally pleased with this outcome.

Since he had just taken over, it was not advisable for him to make any major moves at this time. Since someone was willing to step forward and become his tool, he naturally would not refuse.

They returned to their new courtyard.

It has to be said that the power of the Great Elder of the Mo Clan is still very great. Take this courtyard for example, it actually occupies one-fifth of the entire Mo Family Fortress, which is even larger than the family head's!

However, Mo Tang was from a collateral branch of the family, and he was the only one left in the household. So, this large courtyard now had no other owner besides him...

Looking at the unclaimed Storage Ring in his hand, Mo Tang could easily examine its contents.

"Tsk tsk, it seems Mo Lan really has to pay a hefty price this time!"

A rough estimate suggests that the contents of this Storage Ring are worth no less than ten million!

The Gold Coins alone piled up into a small mountain, estimated to be around five or six million.

Other items include precious ores, rare weapons forged from them, and even various Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, and Pill Recipe ...

To Mo Tang's dismay, there weren't many medicinal herbs and pills inside.

That's understandable.

After all, it was meant to be given to the Misty Cloud Sect. With Alchemist King Gu He around, the Misty Cloud Sect had no shortage of pills.

More importantly, the highest-ranking alchemist currently serving in the Mo Clan is only Second-Rank Alchemist. Do you think the Misty Cloud Sect would even consider the pills made by someone of that level?

As for medicinal herbs, low-grade herbs are unnecessary; the Misty Cloud Sect has never lacked them and doesn't even bother with them. Therefore, it's impossible for Patriarch Mo Lan to bring out those things to make up the numbers.

As for those rare medicinal herbs, let alone whether they'd be willing to part with them, even obtaining them would be extremely difficult...

As mentioned before, never compare the Mo Clan to places like the Black Corner Region or Jia Nan Academy. Even the Mo Tang, which possessed most of the Great Elder's treasures, couldn't find many medicinal herbs with a system rating exceeding grade three...

Although a lot of money has been made, converting it into energy is still not an easy task.

However, since he was going to Misty Cloud Mountain this time, he could also make a trip to the Imperial Capital. As the largest and most prosperous city in the entire Jia Ma Empire, he figured he could buy quite a few good things there!

After putting away the Storage Ring, Mo Tang opened his system again.

Name: Mo Tang Level: Three-Star Dou Ling ↑

Yellow Rank High: Thunderous Qi (Grand Completion) ↑

Earth Tier High Grade: Wind Thunder Gangsha (Perfection)

Dou Technique:

Available Energy Points:

Intermediate: 246 + 1754 = 2000

Two thousand points of Mid-grade Energy were just a hair's breadth away from elevating Mo Tang to Five-Star Dou Ling.

Although Mo Tang had enough medicinal herbs in the Storage Ring that Mo Lan had given him to gather the one or two hundred energy points, he did not do so.

Anyway, I'm already so rich now, with tens of millions of Gold Coins in my family fortune. Once I get to the Imperial Capital, am I afraid I won't be able to buy precious medicinal herbs or high-grade pills?

Those gifts concern the future of the Mo Clan. Even if Mo Tang is confident that his relationship with Yun Yun will lead her to make choices that benefit him...

But Misty Cloud Sect wasn't just Yun Yun's personal domain; there were also the elders, and behind them was the Old Sect Master who had been in seclusion...

Therefore, Mo Tang needs to offer enough leverage to get Yun Yun to shut up certain people.

This is something Mo Tang must do.

However, looking at the huge amount of Low-grade Energy in his hand, Mo Tang was somewhat troubled.

"These energies are no longer useful for improving cultivation, so it seems they can only be used to enhance Dou Technique."

With a system and energy, cultivating Dou Technique is as easy for him as eating and drinking.

This time, he also obtained quite a few cultivation techniques and Dou Technique that reached the Mysterious Tier from the Great Elder. Apart from some Dou Technique with special Dou Qi attribute requirements, there were quite a few that Mo Tang could cultivate...
