When the Azure Dragon Martial Guard began raiding his home, Jiang Ziliu quietly slipped away.
There, he also figured out the reason for the appearance of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard.
Having taken advantage of someone else to shield him from harm and gained a huge benefit in return, Jiang Ziliu dared not linger and immediately made his escape.
After leaving the Green Forest Base area, Jiang Ziliu had no choice but to tell his parents that his elder brother had gone to train and wouldn't be back for several years.
He dared not tell his parents that his older brother had been lost in the mysterious area of Gray Light Zone.
Having finally managed to gloss over this matter, Jiang Ziliu began to examine his haul.
This time, he obtained more than 70% of the resources and wealth of the Jiang Family in their stronghold.
After calming down, he organized these things.
He found that he gained a lot.
First, there are various metals, Elemental Crystal, medicines, exotic animal hides and bones, and plant materials of A Grade A Grade and below, totaling 100,000 A Grade Elemental Crystal.
Most importantly, they come in a great variety of quantities and types; you could say they have everything.
This solves the problem that Jiang Ziliu currently has too many treasures, but they are all too high-level, while ordinary resources are relatively scarce.
Although he occasionally used Probability Judgment to search for treasures in the areas he passed through, he never managed to snatch any as much as he had from a powerful family.
The Jiang Family has also amassed quite a few S Grade treasures.
Among them, the precious resources such as Elemental Crystal, exotic beast materials, and precious medicines are worth approximately 300,000 S Grade Elemental Crystal.
In addition, the Jiang Family also provided him with 1,500 A Grade -A Grade and below quality Soul Crystal, 62 S Grade Soul Crystal, 18 SS Grade Soul Crystal, and 5 SSS Grade Soul Crystal.
The Jiang Family may not have many other treasures, but they certainly have a considerable amount of Soul Crystal.
Jiang Ziliu speculated that the biggest profit the Jiang Family made from smuggling the Descend to the Mortal World Pill might not be the acquisition of hard currency like Elemental Crystal, but rather scarce resources like Soul Crystal.
Soul Crystal are extremely rare on Blue Water Star, but in some parts of the starry sky, they may not be so scarce.
After all, there are some special Ancient Battlefield in the starry sky.
In that kind of environment, there are still a lot of Soul Crystal.
The Soul Crystal from the Jiang Family were nothing to Jiang Ziliu; they were far fewer and of higher quality than the Soul Crystal he had found through Probability Judgment.
However, compared to other individuals, the number of Soul Crystal possessed by the Jiang Family is astonishing.
Jiang Ziliu also understood why the Jiang Family had been able to rise to prominence.
With Soul Crystal, their children can awaken Contract Mark at a younger age, and can also awaken Contract Mark of higher quality.
Awakening the beast several years or even more than a decade in advance allows for earlier training of the beast tamer, resulting in higher growth rates.
Upon graduating from high school, their children can also attend better colleges and have more opportunities to enter higher-level universities and beast-taming academies for further studies.
Educational institutions, on the other hand, can leverage their own strengths, personal connections, and other advantages to obtain resources from the college and support their own growth.
It can be said that the beast tamer training system in this world, while seemingly open to commoners and the lower classes, has never truly been open.
This approach, which appears open on the surface but is actually entirely biased towards the scions of aristocratic families, has completely locked up any possibility of commoners rising to power.
Even if you are an SSS Grade super genius, if you want to rise to prominence, you will still face a situation like Zhao Xinling's.
Unless, you have already signed a contract of servitude with a powerful family, company, or influential organization.
One of the main reasons Jiang Ziliu chose not to go to school was because he saw this.
There is absolutely no possibility of ordinary people rising up!
The Jiang Family's rapid rise to power was due to their large possession of Soul Crystal, which gave them a first-mover advantage.
Jiang Ziliu found several diaries in the secret vault, which recorded these events.
This also proves his analysis of certain things.
The Jiang Family was originally just a small Lineage, belonging to the lower class among the aristocratic families. Note that this lower class was still among the aristocratic families, not a commoner family.
Their living conditions at that time were also very difficult.
An elder of the Jiang Lineage accidentally discovered this smuggling route. After carefully investigating the situation, he decided to smuggle the Descend to the Mortal World Pill.
Because only the Descend to the Mortal World Pill is a necessity for the alien race.
Moreover, only by using the Descend to the Mortal World Pill can one obtain the Soul Crystal from the alien races on the other side of the passage.
This ancestor took out the Descend to the Mortal World Pill, but he was only willing to trade Soul Crystal, choosing to barter only.
The patriarch of the Jiang Lineage realized that only the resource of Soul Crystal could allow the Jiang Family to truly rise to prominence.
Only Soul Crystal can make members of the Jiang Family geniuses.
He was also a very cautious person, handling this smuggling route carefully and not daring to come on a large scale.
Moreover, the trading partner he chose was not a powerful alien force.
In this way, he used Soul Crystal to nurture the next generation of the Jiang Family, allowing the entire Lineage to gradually rise to prominence.
In this process, he also chose to act ruthlessly and without regard for human nature.
Therefore, anyone who dared to oppose the Jiang Family was wiped out by him in various ways, often with their entire family dying together.
He's using the methods that ordinary wealthy families use.
He was using methods that ordinary aristocratic families wouldn't dare to use.
Using methods like arranging marriages between children to expand Lineage influence is merely child's play.
When he discovered that some of the common people below had the potential to rise to power, this Jiang Lineage patriarch would carefully gather information about them. Once he determined where their opportunity lay, he would seize it and then kill them to silence them.
It can be said that the rise of a powerful family is completely bloody, cruel, and terrifying!
The patriarch of the Jiang Family was also an extremely intelligent and cautious man; he recorded all of this in the form of a diary.
His aim was to ensure that future generations would remember his methods, and the opportunities and enormous risks associated with the rise of powerful families.
Because he understood that most powerful families rose to prominence in a similar way.
Only after completing their bloody, primal accumulation will they don a cloak of humanity, a cloak of kindness, to conceal their true, monstrous nature beneath.
He recorded all of this in preparation for the birth of his Lineage.
This record was meant for the successor of the Lineage after its decline; he wanted his descendants to understand how a prominent family should rise again.
This diary can also be considered a bloody, cruel, and terrifying legacy, belonging to the inheritance of the cultural ideology of aristocratic families.
After reading it, Jiang Ziliu realized that his caution was indeed correct.
What else could it be but a stroke of great opportunity for an ordinary person to rise to power?
The first thought of those in power is always to take away your opportunities and eliminate you by any means necessary; they will never give you a new chance to threaten them.
This is true of small and medium-sized aristocratic families; large aristocratic families are even more greedy.
If he were to pursue the academic path, he wouldn't even know how he died.
There are commoners in the upper class, but they do not occupy the mainstream of power and authority. They can only be vassals and pawns of others. If they do not obey, they will suffer a miserable fate like Zhao Xinling.
Zhao Xinling was an SSS+ Grade super genius; if it weren't for someone taking care of her, she would have quietly turned to ashes long ago.
After reading the diary, Jiang Ziliu became increasingly wary of the powerful families in this world.
Places like the Martial King Base, where there is any semblance of fairness, are always extremely rare.
He also understood that this was true not only for Human Race, but also for other races; it was the domain of the upper class and aristocratic families.
He won't show himself easily unless he's invincible!
