Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1552 - 3: The Death of He Yin Marquis, Zhao Xing’s Gains!

After a thousand years, Liu Tian Ning also reached the Origin Realm, having returned from [Skywalker Continent] 30 years ago.

Now, Lao Liu is perfect in the First Realm. In the entire Great Zhou, besides himself, Cloud Sky Dao, only Liu Tian Ning, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate, Xia Jing, and Ji Che are in the Origin Realm.

Purple Bone broke through 180 years ago, while Xia Jing broke through 150 years ago, at a time when Zhao Xing was in Nanluo.

Purple Bone also encountered intimidation and capture actions from He Yin Marquis, so after breaking through, he found every way to stick around in the Tian Qi Star System, refusing to go out on missions and preferring to do unpaid tasks.

"Big brother, are we really leaving?" Ji Che hesitated, Great Zhou had developed over a millennium and was now on the right track.

They were no longer losing money; profits exceeded expenses, and with Liu Tian Ning also breaking through to the Origin Realm, everything was heading in a positive direction.

Zhao Xing, of course, understood Ji Che's mindset, having just stabilized only to run away again.

The shadow of Star Snow Pass still loomed large, Ji Che and the others were severely frightened while staying in 'Star of Hope.'

"We must leave," Zhao Xing said.

"Alright then," Ji Che replied, "I'll make the arrangements."

Great Zhou was renting Qinglian Realm Star, but they were not citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Country.

Currently, only Xia Jing, Zhao Xing, Liu Tian Ning, and Cloud Sky Dao were citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Country; Ji Che had not acquired that citizenship.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Xing quietly waited on Tiger Head Star Land.

He converted all of his Yuanhai Coins into Red Star Coins.

Even so, during the ensuing wait, he continued to receive a steady flow of Yuanhai Coins.

Because the information he reported to Cang Yu over thirty years ago was slowly being confirmed.

"Zhao Xing, you are now a third-rank Marquis," the Cangyu Envoy appeared in Zhao Xing's rental area. "You may freely own a permanent residence on Tiger Head Star Land without renting anymore."

"You can also assemble a temporary guard of one thousand to ten thousand soldiers, with all soldiers being at least in the Second Realm, trained in joint attack arrays."

"Moreover, you enjoy an 80% discount on purchases at the Yuanhai Palace, with certain tax reductions."

"I've become a Marquis?" Zhao Xing was a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected that his reported information had propelled him to the Marquis position!

Upon glancing at his account, Zhao Xing discovered it exceeded ten thousand billion Yuanhai Coins! Even when converted to Red Star Coins, it amounted to 2.8 billion! This was undoubtedly the wealth of a Five Elements Tao Domain Realm!

"What's my title?" Zhao Xing asked. The Yuanhai Ancient Country would bestow titles upon its Marquis, although he didn't care much, it had its advantages while he was still there.

"Marquis Five Tombs," Cang Yu smiled, "because, from the list you provided, we unearthed five royal tombs of Third Realm Great Divine Ability Practitioners, which is your greatest merit."

Zhao Xing nodded, the cemetery belonged exclusively to the royal family, and those at the Great Divine Power Realm typically possessed the wealth of the Tao Domain Realm, especially so for royalty.

Even if he only received 10%, it would be a terrifying profit.

The tales of overnight riches were abundant in the Illusion God Star System, and now Zhao Xing was among them.

"Congratulations, Marquis Five Tombs," Cang Yu congratulated him, even though Zhao Xing did not possess the Tao Domain Realm's strength. For the Yuanhai Ancient Country, Zhao Xing's merit equates to the Five Elements Tao Domain Realm.

"You can now take on some relatively easier tasks," Cang Yu suggested, "and even recruit loose cultivators from the major dynasties to form a force, and you will receive a portion of the wealth acquired by your subordinates."

"I don't plan on doing this for now," Zhao Xing shook his head. Recruiting loose cultivators and forming a force? It's not that simple; there are too many twists and turns involved, even training personnel is demanding.

If done hastily, such as casually incorporating loose cultivators, it may result in high death rates with limited benefits, which could tarnish his reputation or even violate the country's laws.

If considering long-term development, Zhao Xing had options in mind, such as informing Le Yao, Cen Qionghua, and Yu Tianqing to earn money, which was preferable to taking risks himself.

Spending time to accumulate could also yield substantial income, but he wasn't planning to develop in the Yuanhai Ancient Country right now.

The only comforting aspect was the increase in wealth.

With 2.8 billion Red Star Coins, it was sufficient to hire an assassin to target anyone within the Tao Domain Realm, of course, assuming he could contact the Shadow Temple first.

But the cost of migration wouldn't deplete the funds; Zhao Xing wasn't troubled by anything. For the journey to the Red Star Empire, only two issues needed resolution.

First was leaving the Purple God Mansion.

Being a member of the Purple God Mansion should be straightforward, Zhao Xing wasn't closely connected to the Purple Moon Mansion Master nor had he inherited the wealth of Qing Yu Zi. Spending a little money could foster amicable separations without necessitating abolishing his Purple Light Eight Epochs Divine Power.

Second was departing from the Yuanhai Ancient Country.

As Marquis Five Tombs, rights also implied constraints, which were slightly more troublesome.

Yet now, Zhao Xing had wealth, rendering this a non-issue.

"Jing Yan, when will you return to your country?" Zhao Xing inquired, "I'd like to travel with you."

"Me? I'll need to check the situation further," Jing Yan responded. "Places like Yueluo Cemetery are rare and hard to come by."

"I want to move the dynasty from my hometown and settle in the Red Star Empire," Zhao Xing mentioned, "any suggestions?"

"Contact Star Fire, become an outer member, and earn merit," Jing Yan advised, "it isn't too difficult or too simple. Money alone isn't enough since permanent residency in the Red Star Empire is harder than it is in places like the Yuanhai Ancient Country."

"If I can excavate a Boundary Boat at the Original Divine Weapon level from Yueluo Cemetery and take it back to the Empire for research, do you think it's possible?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Hahaha," Jing Yan burst into laughter, "it's not necessary to exaggerate, a Sun Daoist level would suffice, but you're dreaming here, aren't you?"

Zhao Xing smiled gently, unbothered by Jing Yan's mockery.

Perfectly preserved Boundary Boat craftsmanship necessitating the Sun Daoist level sounded indeed fantastical.

"You could dream bigger.

"Like the Heavenly Jiao King, who dug out an Emperor Level plant.

Or perhaps find a Harmonization cultivation technique.

While speaking, Jing Yan amused himself, clutching his belly and laughing heartily.

Zhao Xing was just about to curse him for looking down on him.

Right then, a message from Liu Tian Ning arrived.

"Zhao Xing, I've arrived at Tiger Head Star Land," Liu Tian Ning stated.

"So soon?" Zhao Xing was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Purple Moon Mansion Master and Yuqing Mansion Master also came."
