Method
There's a problem with the Celestial Master's Hall.
Gu Jinlai, those who have heard Jin Sixian's words have been moved to a whirlwind of thoughts.
He had actually always had a suspicion in his mind.
Holy Land...
Is it really as peaceful as they portray it to be?
Those Demonic Beasts that occupy all over the world are truly powerless against the Holy Land, which is why they are allowed to maintain the current situation.
Or is it...?
I dare not think about it any further, Gu Jinlai.
If it's true...
"We are currently investigating, and the way we are doing this is by contacting the Celestial Master's Hall. The Celestial Master's Hall is one of the top institutions in the Holy Dynasty. Investigating the Celestial Master's Hall is too dangerous, and to avoid involving other compatriots, we have reduced the Blue Light Society's activity level."
Jin Sixian glanced at Zhao Yushu: "This is also why it will be difficult for me to come to Fengyu City. Otherwise... although there are not many strong people in our Blue Light Society, each of them has a remarkable status and influence far exceeding their own cultivation level, thanks to their outstanding abilities. The most outstanding ones even have Martial Kings or even Celestial Person by their side to ensure their safety."
"King Wu, Celestial Person!?"
Zhao Yushu opened her eyes wide.
King Wu was one thing, but Celestial Person...
That's someone whose weakest level is equivalent to a top-tier Martial King.
Moreover, although their cultivation level is comparable to that of top-tier Martial Kings, the status of Celestial Person is even higher than that of Martial Kings. Everyone is used to the fact that every Celestial Person is on equal footing with a peak Martial King.
Those at the peak of the Celestial Person can even chat and laugh with the Martial Saints on an equal footing.
The Blue Light Society actually possesses such power!?
"The Star Shadow is now in your hands. Perfect, let me tell you how to activate it. From now on, we'll communicate through the Star Shadow."
Jin Sixian said.
"Thank you for your trouble."
From Gu Jinlai, a voice responded.
Soon, with Jin Sixian's help, Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu activated Xingying.
Just as Jin Sixian said, Xingying's function is similar to a "chat room".
After Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu entered, Jin Sixian spoke through Xingying: "Two new friends have joined us. Gu Jinlai is from Xia Yu City in the Central Plains Kingdom, and Zhao Yushu is from Yunhai City in the Yellow Dragon Kingdom. They currently reside in Fengyu City. Welcome everyone."
"Another new member? The organization is growing stronger. Welcome!"
"Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu, welcome to the group. We are all fellow sufferers in this cruel and unfamiliar world. I hope we can unite and support each other."
"Wind and Rain City? I'm in Midnight Market, which is a bit far away, but you can contact me if you need any help. I work at Tianxia Tower."
Soon, people started speaking in this "chat room"-like software.
The atmosphere was completely devoid of the relaxed and humorous feeling one has when surfing the internet; everyone appeared formal and serious.
Gu Jinlai, we have also corrected our attitude.
Having been plunged into a completely unfamiliar world, and not even knowing what the future held for them, the group naturally had little inclination for idle chatter.
Thank you.
He gave a formal reply, Gu Jinlai.
Jin Sixian, who was standing to the side, said, "The purpose of the Blue Light Society is to help each other. In theory, everyone is willing to help with any request you make to the best of their ability. However, helping is a favor, and not helping is one's right. There is nothing to take for granted. Therefore, if Mr. Gu's requests are refused, please understand."
"I understand."
Gu Jinlai nodded.
At this moment, the people in the Star Shadow started discussing among themselves.
"The Central Plains and the Yellow Dragon Kingdom? It seems that those who have come in the last five or six years are all from the Eastern Continent. It seems that Wei Heng's guess was correct. There really is a cycle. This cycle is twenty-four years?"
"Haven't you noticed that the number of people coming here has increased significantly recently? This can't be explained by the Blue Light becoming more powerful; it must be that the difficulty of coming to this world has decreased."
"I feel the same way, and with the increasingly clear Blue Star phantom above the Holy Land... the two worlds are getting closer and closer... I wonder if I'll be able to live to see the day the two worlds merge and see my family and friends again."
"Yes, I believe that day is not far off."
The group chatted amongst themselves.
I Gu Jinlai wanted to inquire about specific information about the Celestial Master's Hall.
After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to drop the idea.
He had just joined the Blue Light Society and didn't know if the organization was really as wonderful as Jin Sixian had described. With the example of Wind and Rain City right before his eyes, he decided to observe it for a while before drawing any conclusions.
"I heard from Zhao Yushu that your cultivation requires collecting Thunder Magnetic Essence to prepare for developing Divine Ability?"
At this moment, Jin Sixian suddenly spoke.
"Right."
Gu Jinlai nodded. "You..."
"Have."
Jin Sixian said, "Our Zilei City Chamber of Commerce has stored about three hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold. If necessary, we can apply for another three to five hundred portions. If you need them, I can sell them to you for six million taels of silver."
Six million!?
Hearing this number has always been a source of surprise, Gu Jinlai.
Unlike the more volatile Immortal Refined Gold, Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold, when condensed from this material, provides immense convenience for those undergoing tribulation, and its price generally fluctuates around ten million.
Six million per share...
That's already a huge discount.
However, his agitated emotions subsided after a short while.
Even if the price drops to six million, he still can't afford it.
He needs at least 150 portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold to cultivate the Chaotic Thunder Essence Body to its peak, which is 900 million.
His total assets are now only around 100 million, and that's only because he defeated the Luo family and Tianyinlou, and seized many spirit swords.
This amount of assets is far from 900 million...
We're still a long way off.
But...
I need 150 copies!
Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "However, I don't have enough funds right now, and I need some time to raise the money."
"One hundred and fifty copies..."
Jin Sixian hesitated for a moment, but then she made a decision. "I can guarantee that Zi Lei City will ship the goods first. This kind of valuable resource, which involves nine hundred million, will definitely be escorted by the Martial King or even the Celestial Person Being. It can be delivered in ten days at the latest. How long do you need to raise the funds?"
"Ten days..."
Gu Jinlai shook his head. "I can't guarantee it."
Jin Sixian pondered for a moment, then said, "Josen of the Sunset Empire works at the Flowing Fire City Bank. You can contact him. You are a Martial King, so obtaining a loan of three to four hundred million is not difficult."
"Loan?"
Gu Jinlai.
Then I realized that this world has banks.
Since there are banks, there must be loans.
"Loan!"
Gu Jinlai, he has never hesitated to say so.
"You contact them."
Jin Sixian said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yushu added, "I can persuade the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce to grant you a loan, which should be around 200 to 300 million."
"That's about right."
Gu Jinlai said, "I have some Spirit Artifact on me, and if I gather more over the next ten days, three hundred million won't be difficult. Add to that the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce and bank loans... nine hundred million will be enough."
After saying that, he said directly, "Have your chamber of commerce ship the goods."
"Good."
Jin Sixian nodded.
On the other side, Gu Jinlai quickly contacted Qiao Sen.
As a member of the Blue Light Society, and given that Gu Jinlai himself was a Martial King, Qiao Sen naturally did his utmost in this matter.
They responded a few hours later.
They took out a loan of 350 million.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yushu hurriedly left to communicate with the person in charge of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
Half a day later, she successfully brought good news: Gu Jinlai had received a grant of 230 million from the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Spirit Artifact Gu Jinlai, although damaged, are still valued at 140 million.
The 900 million shortfall has been reduced to 180 million.
In the courtyard.
Zhao Yushu is still trying to gain more support from the Gu Jinlai Congfengshang Association and her Lineage.
Jin Sixian also contacted the forces behind her to see if she could negotiate a delayed payment for Gu Jinlai.
And I have been considering this throughout history.
"This 180 million... has ended up at Tianyinlou."
He was considering whether he should withdraw the 170 million from Tianyinlou ahead of schedule.
Now that the money is available, he can borrow it from Zhou Ming for a while; Zhou Ming won't refuse.
At that moment, Zhao Qiao's report came from outside the door.
Qian Wuque came to visit.
Accompanying Qian Wuque on the visit was Zhang Wanhua, the Martial King of the Zhang Family.
Unlike Zhang Guangming, Zhang Wanhua is a high-level Martial King. It is said that his physique has been tempered to the extreme, and his actual combat strength is not much inferior to that of a top-level Martial King.
He was also the second-best of the four Martial Kings of the Zhang family, second only to the peak Martial King Zhang Chongshan.
"They've come at just the right time."
Gu Jinlai quickly arrived at the reception room.
"Ancient Martial King".
Qian Wuque cupped his hands in greeting, his face beaming, and said, "I've already heard about what happened between you and Tianyinlou. There's absolutely no need for either of you to make a fool of yourselves over such a trivial matter..."
"King Qianwu".
Gu Jinlai Wuque could finish speaking, Gu Jinlai's gaze fell on Zhang Guanghua, and he immediately saw the Dark Red Karma on Zhang Guanghua's body.
If it weren't for Qian Wuque leading the way, he wouldn't have bothered to waste his breath on him.
"Zhang Wuwang, has your Tianyin Tower raised the remaining 170 million taels of silver?"
"Ancient Martial King".
Zhang Guanghua's eyes gleamed. "I know that the reason why the Ancient Martial King ming associates with Zhou Ming is because he has his eye on the two hundred million taels of silver he has. Considering that the Ancient Martial King is a member of the Purifiers and has contributed a lot to the stability of Fengyu City, I understand. The thirty million taels of silver I gave to the Ancient Martial King earlier is just to make friends. What does the Ancient Martial King think?"
"Not good."
Gu Jinlai said calmly, "The Zhou family deposited 200 million with your Tianyin Building, so they naturally have the right to withdraw it at any time. Tianyin Building tried to seize the 200 million with a reason that cannot convince anyone, and even wiped out the entire Zhou family of 36 people. Their behavior is really too ugly."
Zhang Guanghua frowned. "So you mean..."
"Two hundred million. We took thirty million, leaving one hundred and seventy million. Give me that one hundred and seventy million, and that's it..."
This Gu Jinlai.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Guanghua coldly shouted, " From Gu Jinlai! You're stepping forward to seek justice for the Zhou family? You make it sound so high and mighty, but aren't you just after those two hundred million? Let me tell you, our seeking your advice doesn't mean we're afraid of you! Don't make a mistake!"
"Is that so? Then don't blame me for making a big fuss. I'll see who ends up losing face."
Gu Jinlai didn't bother with further explanation. "Have the money ready by this time tomorrow, or don't blame me for reporting this directly to the City Lord Mansion!"
After saying that, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "See the guest out."
