I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1658 - 1662: The Bride Price Must Be Upgraded Too

"Gu Xiao? Are you talking about that wast... young lord of the Gu Family?" Chu Ying stopped mid-sentence, almost forgetting that the inscrutable person in front of him was a friend of Gu Xiao.

"Yes, it's him," Zhang Menglong didn't mind, "tomorrow is the day he's marrying the Third Princess, but you should know he has practically no status in his family. If he goes to pick up his bride like this, he's likely to be ridiculed by the whole nation.

"Sir, forgive me for being nosy, but your relationship with Young Lord Gu Xiao..."

In Chu Ying's mind, how could Gu Xiao possibly have friends? Even the lowest servants in his family looked down on him; he was merely a lowly servant with the title of young lord.

Although Gu Xiao's father loved him dearly, as the Guardian, he rarely had the chance to return home and couldn't take care of everything for him. Moreover, Gu Xiao was very timid; when bullied, he would never tell his father, which only made those people more rampant.

Now, suddenly appearing with a friend was indeed hard to believe.

"For some reasons, I owe him a favor," Zhang Menglong simply moved past the topic. He couldn't very well say he had accidentally killed someone by sitting on them and was now repaying the debt in this way to save his life.

"I see," Chu Ying nodded. It seemed there were some secrets between these two, but he wasn't in a position to delve deeper. Anyway, Gu Xiao had now become his major client.

"Alright, tell me about your plan," Zhang Menglong said. "I want to know if you have the ability and skill."

"Don't worry. Although we only have one night, we can definitely arrange for a grand wedding convoy for you. We have an excellent Gale Steed ranch..."

"Hold on," Zhang Menglong interrupted directly. "Gale Steed? You mean that First-grade warcraft?"

"Yes."

"No," Zhang Menglong frowned immediately, "My brother's wedding can't possibly use such a low-grade warcraft. It doesn't match his status."

Chu Ying was stunned. What do you mean it doesn't match his status? What status does Gu Xiao have? Trash status?

"Then what do you mean?"

"It must be a Seventh-grade or above warcraft, and it has to be able to fly," Zhang Menglong said. "Also, the wedding convoy must consist entirely of people at the Ninth Grade of Divine Breath Realm or higher. If you can find someone at the Divine Cultivation Realm, even better."

Chu Ying's face immediately turned sour.

"Sir, you're really giving me a tough task here," Chu Ying said with a bitter smile. "These Seventh-grade or above warcrafts are basically uncontrollable. Only a few can be domesticated, but to tame a Seventh-grade warcraft, one would have to be an extremely powerful figure in the Divine Breath Realm. Such people aren't easily swayed by money."

The ten billion Divine Crystal pieces that Zhang Menglong offered were indeed a lot, but those strong individuals might not be interested in money; to them, it's just a number.

"Then what about this?" Zhang Menglong took out a small bottle and handed it to Chu Ying.

Chu Ying, being quite experienced, took out one of the pills, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Thunder Extinction Elixir?"

"Good eye," Zhang Menglong smiled, "No wonder you're the manager of Jin Yao Tower; recognized it at a glance."

The Thunder Extinction Elixir is a Ninth-grade elixir.

When a Martial Artist breaks through to the Divine Cultivation Realm, they face Thunder Punishment, which is terrifying. At worst, it could lead to severe injury or death on the spot.

But this elixir reduces the damage of thunder and lightning to the human body by 30%, akin to wearing a Magic Resistance Cloak during a breakthrough, significantly increasing the success rate.

To date, at least within the Yanlan Empire, no one seems to have the skill to refine such an elixir.

"With this, you should be able to recruit quite a few people, right?"

"This is really good stuff." Chu Ying looked at those elixirs, forcibly suppressing the urge to embezzle them. There were at least ten in this bottle!

One of these elixirs is enough to make a strong Ninth-grade Divine Breath expert go all out, and Zhang Menglong intends to use it to recruit such people for the parade?

However, Zhang Menglong poured out a pile of bottles, with values almost comparable to the Thunder Extinction Elixir. Roughly counting, there appeared to be two to three hundred pieces.

"What do you plan to do with these?"

"For Ninth-grade Divine Breath individuals, one pill each. If they can bring a warcraft to pull the convoy, they get another. With these elixirs, I need at least 200 Ninth-grade Divine Breath experts and warcraft! Anything extra is yours!"

"God of Wealth!" Chu Ying's hands trembled slightly. Jin Yao Tower had the connections, but what they lacked was capital. Now, he could even negotiate with those people using these elixirs, potentially profiting as a middleman.

"Right, think carefully about the wedding sweets," Zhang Menglong pondered for a moment, deciding regular sweets were too lowbrow. "Just replace them with elixirs, scatter them along the way, and help me find a group of Alchemists. However many can be made overnight, all materials and labor costs are on me!"

"Also, we can't use a traditional sedan chair to marry the Princess. I heard we have a Nine Heavens Demon Phoenix within our realm, which is a First-grade Divine Cultivation level warcraft with nine-colored feathers. It seems suitable as a sedan chair."

"Oh, and..."

At this moment, Zhang Menglong started a whirlwind of ideas, becoming increasingly outlandish.

"Mr. Zhang, if we do this, ten billion Divine Crystals might not be enough!" Chu Ying said with a wry smile. Many of the tasks were possible with money, but Zhang Menglong's high standards were going to require serious financial investment!

"Then add another ten billion!" Zhang Menglong, without expression, handed over another Divine Crystal storage card. "If the Yanlan Empire can't find what we need, help me look in the surrounding empires."

"Alright! As long as you have the money, I can get it done!" Chu Ying had no idea what Young Lord of the Gu Family did to merit such reward. Possibly he helped this big shot avoid an atomic bomb. If he utilized the reward entirely for cultivation, he might produce several Divine Cultivation Realm experts.

"By tomorrow morning, at the auspicious hour, I want to see the wedding convoy appear outside the Gu Family's courtyard!" Zhang Menglong demanded. "Can you do it?"

"Rest assured, there's still time. I'll immediately mobilize all Jin Yao Tower's resources to arrange this for you!"

...

"Give me an Alchemy Room and an Artifact Refining Room," Zhang Menglong said. "Do not let anyone disturb me."

"I will personally lead you there!" Chu Ying respectfully said. Now, it seemed this person was a dual-master in artifact refining and alchemy, possibly of very high rank. What kind of luck did this Gu Family young lord stumble upon?

After leading Zhang Menglong to the place, Chu Ying immediately set to work. Even with Jin Yao Tower's power, completing such tasks in just one day would be quite a monumental task.

"Now, time to prepare some wedding gifts for this guy!" Zhang Menglong took out a large pile of materials he had already prepared. "With a wedding convoy of this caliber, the wedding gifts have to match up!"
