Chapter 744: Chapter 452: Dancing on the City Walls: A Martial Arts Lecture for 1 Million Soldiers and Civilians!_2

Liao Ya is also an old Jianghu.

But like Fu Qiong, he couldn’t understand the origins or the names of Yan Chuan’s goods.

However, he was sure about one point: "These goods are definitely not from newly mined or newly opened pits; they have a variety of origins, likely discarded substandard goods from various markets."

Liao Lang understood: "Dad, you’re saying that Qin Yu has a great eye for assessing stones, and these goods are all rejects he picked from various markets?"

"Most likely!"

Liao Ya nodded.

With experienced and keen-eyed people, one couldn’t guarantee a hundred shots hundred hits, but hitting one in ten was hopeful. However, it also required some luck, and it was hard work, sifting through tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of raw stones, picking out those deemed capable of producing gold, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But if done well, one could make a lot of money.

Liao Ya speculated that Qin Yu was such a gold seeker, or he had a team of gold seekers supplying him.

"If Qin Yu is a gold seeker himself, he won’t have a steady supply of quality goods. If he has a team of them, then it’s worth exploring, and I can benefit as well," Liao Ya said.

"In that case, let’s hold a banquet and invite him over to see what kind of person he is. After all, he’s a new Divine General, and he seems capable; making a connection wouldn’t hurt," proposed the eldest, Liao Lang.

The second, Liao Fan, agreed.

The father, Liao Ya, also nodded: "I’ll send a word to him tomorrow."

The three father and sons chatted idly about ’Qin Yu’ and the ’Star Transformation Original Stone Shop’, then moved on to discussing a hot topic among the group of Divine Generals in Golden Talisman City: "The latest news, Yan Chuan’s bounty at the ’Blood Shadow Temple’ has increased again; his origin has finally been unearthed—"

...

Yan Chuan was very busy.

Cultivation.

Making money.

Inextricable.

On one hand, the situation in Golden Talisman City was just stabilizing.

On the other hand, Tan Valley Royal City was stirring again.

After a night of cultivation, early the next morning—

...

"Old Yan! In front is Guangming City!" Wang Zhengyi spat out Yan Chuan, pointed forward, and Yan Chuan looked to see a majestic grand city towering, it was indeed Guangming City.

"Great!"

"I’ll go meet ’Duke Zhuyu’."

Without a second thought, Yan Chuan stepped swiftly with "Wave Riding Micro Steps" towards Guangming City, and as he approached the city wall, he leapt upwards using "Ladder Cloud Jump", ascending straight to the clouds, instantly standing above Guangming City.

"Lu Fairy." Yan Chuan lifted the ’North Mansion’ vision shield and called Lu Yuru.

Where is this?

Lu Yuru, already in the North Mansion, paused upon hearing Yan Chuan’s call, but understood his intention. She immediately dutifully surveyed below, her "Wisdom Eye" detecting any abnormal treasure light, providing Yan Chuan with protection.

Everything was ready.

Yan Chuan was unreserved, wielding the ’Fifth Rank White Horn Trumpet’, unleashing the Eighth Realm "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar"—

"I am Yan Chuan, the City Lord of Tan Valley Royal City. From now on, I will conduct a martial arts lecture in Guangming City every six days, teaching without discrimination!"

In the sky.

Yan Chuan’s voice thundered like roaring winds, instantly spreading throughout Guangming City.

Outside the city.

Wang Zhengyi concealed himself, constantly monitoring the city’s situation. Soon, he clearly heard Yan Chuan’s voice, and he raised his eyebrows, not due to the loudness of Yan Chuan’s voice—but rather—

"He’s not here to cause trouble for Guangming City?"

"Why is he giving a martial arts lecture?"

"Isn’t this aiding the enemy?"

Wang Zhengyi was startled, but soon figured it out: "Exactly! Old Yan may not be able to defeat ’Duke Zhuyu’, and rather than causing small disturbances on the enemy’s turf, he’d better promote himself properly. Old Yan’s martial arts lecture guarantees quality; perhaps right after this lecture, someone from Guangming City might defect to the King City."

At worst, once or twice, thrice or four times, as Guangming City becomes familiar with Yan Chuan, and as Yan Chuan gives numerous martial arts lectures in Guangming City, maybe he can capture this grand city without bloodshed.

Sieging a city is secondary, capturing hearts is primary.

"Old Yan’s move is brilliant!" Wang Zhengyi greatly praised.

On this side.

In Guangming City.

Although Yan Chuan came early, many residents in the city had already risen, preparing to start their day, when suddenly a voice came from the sky—

...

"Someone!"

"Someone’s in the sky!"

"His voice is really loud!"

"The City Lord of Tan Valley Royal City? But wasn’t the King City destroyed?"

...

Because of Yan Chuan, the whole city instantly transitioned from the slow revival of morning to the peak of bustling activity.

Everyone looked up.

A feeling of curiosity and restlessness.

But up in the sky, Yan Chuan was indifferent; he loudly announced three times, then began his martial arts lecture—

"I’ve created Xingyi Boxing, with the basic content being Three Body Posture Pile Skill, Five Elements Boxing, and Twelve Forms Boxing."

Yan Chuan began lecturing.

Still Xingyi.

Guangming City is one of the major cities in Tan Valley Realm, and after the King’s City was destroyed, it, along with two other grand cities, have been vigorously developing intending to compete for the King City qualification in two years. Now all three cities are expanding, with populations exceeding a million.

Over a million people!

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the special bloodline enables almost everyone to practice martial arts. Even excluding the elderly, infirm, and pregnant, selecting fifty thousand capable of practicing martial arts, with basic skills, is not difficult.

Even though most are only at the entry-level, never touching the Qi-Blood limit, let alone breaking it, reaching the Innate, the numbers are scarce.

But the sheer number can’t be underestimated.

A million people!

Even if each person’s feedback from listening to Yan Chuan’s martial arts lecture is just a drop, a million drops gathered do form a stream.

"In the Tan Valley Realm, there are seventeen grand cities; Guangming City and two others exceed a million population, while the remaining fourteen have several hundred thousand each. Each city is a source of resource for my ’Mutual Teaching and Learning.’"

Ever since the initial Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, upon learning that the ultimate reward was a King City, Yan Chuan had dreamed of conducting martial arts lectures on the city wall, wanting all the King City’s citizens and soldiers to attend the lecture.
