Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 538 - 241: No Self—So Many Rich People in Jizhou

Chapter 538: Chapter 241: No Self—So Many Rich People in Jizhou

Everyone has their own goals, and Jin Buhuan is no different.

After finishing today’s battle, he walked alone towards the gate.

The Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce is a business of the Jin family. Since its establishment, the Jin family has not run and established their own city. They are pure merchants, with their outposts in every major city, but they do not place all their resources in one city.

Born into the Jin family, Jin Buhuan is not the always smiling Grandmaster figure people often imagine. His face is stern, exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Putting today’s opponent behind him, a handsome young man was smiling at him from outside.

"Young Master."

Jin Buhuan’s cold face showed a hint of expression change.

This is Han Yu, his study companion and also his Warrior.

Only in front of him would Jin Buhuan reveal his own expression.

"Young Master, the Third Grade cycle matches are lively, that Xu Guang seemingly did not let you down."

Jin Buhuan’s mouth moved slightly, as if wanting to smile but also unable to bring it out.

"Let’s go, have something nice to eat."

Han Yu nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"The eldest young master has returned from Penglai Palace, and the master and others are also in Beiji City."

Jin Buhuan remained silent.

"Forget it, not really hungry, let’s go back."

Han Yu said nothing more; he knew about Jin Buhuan’s experience in the Chamber in the past. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the high and mighty young owner of the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce, but within the Chamber, his situation wasn’t that glorious.

Thinking back to six years ago, on that cold, windswept night, Han Yu suppressed his emotions and quickened his steps to keep up with Jin Buhuan.

"Young Master, Xu Guang has twenty-five victories and no defeats in the Third Grade Realm, gaining a lot of attention from people. The shadows have heard some news that someone seems to plan to target Xu Guang."

...

The long street outside the Northern Emperor Academy is very long, a full thirteen miles, and is simply called Thirteen Mile Street.

As one of the cores of Beiji City, the disciples here at the Northern Emperor Academy are all young prodigies. Wealth is within easy reach for them.

Thirteen Mile Street is full of all kinds of shops, from high-end to low-end, all backed by unimaginably important people.

The thirteenth floor of Yueyue Building.

It was already packed, and from these people’s attire, everyone was either rich or noble.

Everyone chatted enthusiastically, talking about their opponents today in the Northern Emperor Academy, with heated excitement.

Hong Xu sat aside with a gloomy face. Thinking of the scene he saw when he walked out of the Emperor Tower into the Central Plaza today, a shadow involuntarily appeared on his face.

Over five days, he won sixteen matches, which would have been a decent result for a newcomer.

But he was not satisfied.

Especially after seeing Xu Guang’s twenty-five victories and no defeats...

His own failures were painful, but the opponent’s success was even more distressing.

"Brother Xiao, your victory over Li Zun was truly extraordinary. With divine techniques clashing, blade and sword shadows, I even wonder if an average Third Grade expert could walk away safely from the aftermath of your battle."

Li Zun, a Third Grade expert who entered the academy thirteen years ago, had been holding off his breakthrough for over two years to achieve a higher ranking.

Yet he didn’t expect to be defeated by Xiao Chen.

However, this provided a good strategy for those present. If they can’t become the best this time, they could someday imitate Li Zun, restrain their cultivation, and avoid meeting someone as freakishly strong as Xiao Chen. There would always be opportunities.

Hearing his name mentioned, Xiao Chen remained expressionless, only speaking softly, "Cultivation is inherently going against the heavens, advancing or retreating. Restraining cultivation for some resources, even if you get what you want, is still an inferior choice. In the future, you might lose the qualification for the Five Upper Academies because of this."

Upon hearing this, the people didn’t agree in their hearts.

The Five Upper Academies is not the goal for everyone. Some people really have thrones to inherit at home, coming to the Northern Emperor Academy to cultivate some secret techniques not spread outside the Beiji Six Academies. Being able to enter the Five Upper Academies is naturally good, but if not, they will return home to inherit the throne.

The identity of a disciple of the Beiji Six Academies is enough to add a lot of shine to them when they return.

Hong Xu’s eyes darted around, looking disdainfully at Xiao Chen.

He did not agree with Xiao Chen’s words. While cultivation is indeed going against the heavens, it places more emphasis on the word "strive"!

Restraining cultivation is also for competing for resources. To strive, isn’t it very normal to use any means necessary?

He looked at Li Chen beside him.

Li Chen was talking to several people about something, seemingly related to Xu Guang.

"Prince Li, do you know this Xu Guang?"

Li Chen glanced at Hong Xu and suddenly remembered something. At Jingchen Pass, Hong Xu seemed to have suffered greatly at Xu Guang’s hands.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Xu Guang comes from an ordinary background, but now he’s making a big name for himself. He truly doesn’t know his limitations. I wish to teach him a lesson. What do you think, Your Highness?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Li Chen became intrigued.

"Oh?"

"I have some connections in the academy, we could..."

...

The third floor of the Northern Emperor Building.

Ji Yue Ru walked in looking exhausted. Daily intense battles would wear anyone out. Her talent is excellent, but she has only been in the Northern Emperor Academy for a short time.

In five days, she already had fifteen points.

Considering she only entered the Northern Emperor Academy last year, this number of points is quite a lot.

But thinking of the person she met on the first day, her face showed a hint of paleness.

Under such despairing attacks, the psychological trauma was far greater than the physical.

She even had a feeling that in this life, she would never be able to catch up to that person, even though she had the backing of Yunlong City, which is ranked among the top three hundred in the Three Thousand Cities.
