Chapter 743: Chapter 452: Raving on the City Wall: Delivering a Martial Arts Lecture to 1 Million Soldiers and Civilians!

Within the Tan Valley realm, there are seventeen cities, among which the three major cities are—

Yong Mountain, Guangming, Mengsha!

In each city, there are more than ten Divine Generals.

The ’Three Divine Generals’ in Guangming City join forces, second only to the City Lord of Guangming City, ’Duke Zhuyu’. Together, their combat power approaches the third rank, and with their skillful cooperation, they are not much inferior to Chen Ze with ’Three Heads and Six Arms’ enabled.

"They were startled and retreated, not because they couldn’t fight Brother Chen, but because they knew there were more Innates in Tan Valley Royal City. In fact, they didn’t fight for long before Elder Jiang, Granny Huang, and Fairy Situ arrived, and the three decisively withdrew," Wang Zhengyi said with a smile, "Brother Chen’s full-force battle will surely buy Tan Valley Royal City more development time."

Chen Ze is indeed strong.

When Yan Chuan was newly advanced to Innate, he had to admit he might not be Chen Ze’s match.

As for now—

"When I explode, I can thrash him!"

Yan Chuan laughed and then said to Wang Zhengyi: "Whoever strikes first is despicable! Since Guangming City has come to probe first, they can’t blame me for causing them trouble. Old Wang, I will return to Tan Valley early tomorrow morning to visit Guangming City and meet ’Duke Zhuyu’."

"That would be great!" Wang Zhengyi laughed heartily. He was very enthusiastic about such matters: "Last month, when you showed your power in Nanxiong City, I didn’t see it. I can’t miss this chance in Guangming City. You take care of your business first, I’ll head to Guangming City now to save you from making a trip back and forth."

Wang Zhengyi is truly understanding.

"Thank you," Yan Chuan promptly expressed his gratitude.

Wang Zhengyi waved his hand: "I just took two Primordial Pills from you, did I act politely?!"

"Hahaha!"

Yan Chuan laughed heartily and didn’t mention thanks again.

...

On the first day of the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’ opening, the turnover was 49,245 jin of Essence Stone. Yan Chuan’s cash flow skyrocketed, and he immediately went to Wanshan Trading Company to exchange 755 jin of Essence Stone for 5 Primordial Pills—

One for Chen Ze.

One for Elder Jiang.

One each for Wang Zhengyi’s real body and ’Alligator Beast Avatar’.

Yan Chuan kept one for himself.

The four of them shared.

They were all their own people, and Yan Chuan, always successful in stone gambling, naturally didn’t begrudge them. Not to mention, with the cashing ability of the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’, once it stabilizes, earning two or three Primordial Pills a day is easy, and five or sixty a month is achievable.

Not to mention them four, even adding four more people could be afforded.

Yan Chuan isn’t short of money!

Furthermore, once the ’Fourth-Rank·Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ confirmed it could sense the Golden Talisman Stone after the ’Second-Rank·Sky Collapse Earth Sinking Purple Gold Hammer’, Yan Chuan merged it with the initially sensed ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ to successfully advance to Fifth Rank. Since then, the ’Fifth Rank·Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ production of ’Sun Essence’ and ’Moonlight’ has benefited the Innate Realm greatly.

However, this ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ can only condense once a month after experiencing an entire cycle of cloudy, sunny, full, and deficient phases. At the beginning of the month, Yan Chuan enhanced it, and it will take until the end of the month to obtain ’Fifth Rank Sun Essence’ and ’Fifth Rank Moonlight’, almost another month’s wait is necessary.

Essence Stone.

Divine General’s Courtyard.

Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle.

Overall, in terms of inner strength cultivation and realm improvement, Yan Chuan finally got onto the fast lane.

But besides that, there’s also martial arts accomplishment. Yan Chuan still has "Mutual Teaching and Learning," this major resource must not be neglected. Therefore, after the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’, Yan Chuan shifted his focus from making money and concentrated cultivation to centering on "Mutual Teaching and Learning".

Mutual Teaching and Learning!

A love for imparting knowledge!

"It’s about time to make connections with all the Divine Generals in this city!"

"And, after the Innate Realm, the ’Heavenly Ladder City’—" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

...

That night.

In the Inner City of Golden Talisman City, two Divine General’s Courtyards were attached, which is the Liao Family’s residence in the city.

Sitting in the main seat was Manager Liao Ya of the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’.

His two sons, Liao Lang and Liao Fan, were on either side. The younger son, Liao Fan, curiously asked, "Dad, what’s the background of your employer? Where did they find the supply? Almost a 15% gold extraction rate. If your original stone shop had such a supply, how could it have gone bankrupt three times?"

"You dastardly boy!" Liao Ya chuckled genially and gestured at his younger son.

The shop went bankrupt three times!

This was a perpetual pain in Liao Ya’s heart!

"Don’t poke at Dad’s sore spots." The elder son, Liao Lang, who was similar in appearance and temperament to Liao Ya, also curiously asked: "In Golden Talisman City, there are neither too many nor too few Divine Generals, and we’ve never heard of this ’Qin Yu’. He’s certainly new. Being new, where does he find such good supply?"

Liao Fan speculated: "Could it be that a Loose Cultivator Innate discovered an unclaimed rich vein of raw stones outside, came to Golden Talisman City to cash it in, and quietly made a fortune?"

After speaking, he was the first to change his expression: "Dad! That’s a capital offense! You can’t partner with him!"

The Golden Talisman veins are all controlled by the Four Families and Three Sects. Without a War God, how does one intend to seize a mine?

Exterminating nine generations wouldn’t be excessive!

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liao Ya, looking aged and decrepit, said: "Though I’m not as experienced as you two in proving Dao and becoming Innate, I have a better eye and experience for original stones than both of you—"

"Dad! You went bankrupt three times!" Liao Fan reminded.

"That’s different," Liao Ya waved his hand: "Familiarity with raw stones doesn’t mean you can run a store profitably. Supply, operation, including luck, all relate to success. Take the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’ that Qin Yu established; although it’s thriving now, and its second-rank raw stone’s gold extraction rate is very high, what is its cost? Certainly not low! While the facade is brilliant, after packaging the ’Golden Talisman Stone’ business to me, I’m the one who truly earns without loss."

"After all, he’s a Divine General; would he waste effort on a losing business?" Liao Lang doubted.

Liao Fan said: "Dad still hasn’t mentioned the source of Qin Yu’s raw stones."

"Look at you, impatient again." Liao Ya shook his head: "The raw stones from the shop I’ve seen, their origins are basically those controlled by the Four Families and Three Sects, rarely some new pits, mostly old stock of mixed origin. It seems fragmented. Such a supply, there are thousands in Golden Talisman City, no fewer than eight hundred, impossible to trace the source, not knowing how many hands it’s passed through. But the puzzling thing is, such goods generally struggle to have even a 1% gold extraction rate, but Qin Yu’s batch can stabilize around 15%. That’s just not reasonable."
