The Nine G.o.dheads – Chapter 41: The Grand Alliance
It was no surprise that Ye Feihong and Ye Jinning laughed this hard.
The Qi-concentrating elixir could allow a martial artist with damaged meridians to cultivate again, recovering to the full strength before the injury.
Such useful spirit medicine was definitely on high demand since everyone in the Jiang Hu could not avoid getting hurt. Naturally, it was sold at an insanely high price and even if you had the money, you may not be able to buy it.
Actually, this was only part of the story. The other spirit medicines which were equally important sometimes costed even more expensive. These spirit medicines reserve could not be overlooked, especially when setting up a new sect. Other than the costs of the spirit medicines, talented martial artists were immensely rare, unlike the big cabbages found along the streets.
However, these may seem impossible for common people. Given Hong Xiaobao’s intelligence and ideas, these could actually be done.
“Without a doubt,I know that setting up a sect requires tons of money,” Hong Xiaobao chuckled and said leisurely, “unfortunately, I lack everything but not money. Being a rich a.s.s, I can do whatever I want. The Qi-concentrating elixir is no big deal. I have the stuff myself!”
Hong Xiaobao had the Qi-concentrating elixir?! Everybody was astonished.
How did this brat get the Qi-concentrating elixir? It was normally only attainable in black markets. Moreover, it would definitely be sold out in an instant. This Hong Xiaobao, just how did he get it?
When everybody was skeptical for his claim, Hong Xiaobao walked towards Yun Caixiao and asked, “Little Sister Caixiao, your Big Brother Xiaobao is no typical wealthy man. I have money, lots of them. Are you willing to be in charge of the money? You can buy whatever you want!”
She let out the warmest smile on her face and said, “I am!”
“Well then,” Hong Xiaobao raised both his hands and laughed loudly. “The decision is made! I, your father, am a wealthy man. Your father is going to set up a sect, it will be called The Grand Alliance! Hong Xiaobao will be the chief and Yun Caixiao will be the mistress! Wahahaha!”
The Grand Alliance! The situation seemed like Hong Xiaobao was serious about setting up his own sect.
n.o.body there really took him seriously. Was he kidding? Setting up a sect required lots of money, manpower and land. What was he planning to develop in the future? Let alone other factors, this world was filled with Demonic Beasts. Thousands and even tens of thousands of martial experts were needed to hold them down.
Tens of thousands of martial experts! Even if they were not paid, they at least required food right? Furthermore, martial artists had to eat far more than normal residents and had to consume the fresh meats of Demonic Beasts and spirit medicines in order to be energized enough to fight.
All the items mentioned above require piles of taels. With no exaggeration, the cost required to feed one martial artist was 30 times greater than that of a typical resident. In other words, if you fed ten thousand martial artists, you could have fed thirty thousand soldiers. At that time, let alone the invasion of Demonic Beasts, this empire might fall due to overspending.
“The Grand Alliance. Great! Great! Great!” When everybody was still being skeptical about it, Ye Feihong laughed, looked at Hong Xiaobao and said with disdain, “Okay then. I’ll see how you can fare with us three years later. Hmph! I, however, want to see if you truly have the Qi-concentrating elixir right now!”
Qi-concentrating elixir! Even the Thunder Sound Pavilion did not have much in stock. Supposedly Ye Feihong planned to use it as a currency during conferences. However, Hong Xiaobao said that he had it out of the blue. He naturally wanted to check if he really did have it or not.
“Hehe, I said I have. Of course I have!” Hong Xiaobao chuckled and ran towards the entrance. “Wait for me for a while. I’ll go and redeem it now!”
After Hong Xiaobao left, the people in Xuan Yang Pavilion looked at each other and scratched their heads. What happened this day was definitely unexpected. n.o.body knew that this matter would develop to this level.
Even though everybody was kind of shocked, courtesy could not be overlooked. Hong Wenqing rushed towards Fang Xinghan and held his left and right fists together firmly as he bent his back, “Hong Wenqing salutes the Head Teacher of Saint Academy.” He had put all his attention on Hong Xiaobao earlier and only remembered to salute Fang Xinghan at this moment.
“Keke, Hong Brother does not need to be so polite.” Although Fang Xinghan was one of the strongest martial artist in the Jiang Hu, he was extremely modest and was easy to talk to. After all, he was a highly educated person. He extended his hands, held Hong Wenqing’s both hands softly and held him up naturally. “I also felt the Verse Qi was exceptionally strong here, especially Shixian’s mental message. I felt anxious and came by without being invited, sorry for being offensive.”
Being the Head Teacher of a major sect as well, the Head Teacher of Thunder Sound Pavilion oppressed people with his authority. On the other hand, the Head Teacher of Saint Academy was so polite and humble.
Fang Xinghan suddenly asked, “Hong Brother. What is the name of this small prince? I look up to his potential. Unfortunately, he had a far bigger ambition and refused to be my disciple.”
Once Ye Feihong heard his words, his face was filled with anger. He rudely came up to the Xuan Yang Pavilion to take Yun Caixiao away and treated Hong Xiaobao with contempt. Initially, he even thought of him as a trash. On the other hand, Fang Xinghan got upset for not having the opportunity to have Hong Xiaobao as his disciple.
Atop the big tree, Jian Pu looked at Hong Xiaobao gradually running away and asked doubtfully, “This Hong Xiaobao. Could it be that he really had the Qi-concentrating elixir?”
“I don’t know,” Qingqing smiled and said softly, “However now I think that anything could happen around him. For example, I did not expect him to have the thought of setting up a sect and wanted to compete with the Thunder Sound Pavilion. Keke, the Thunder Sound Pavilion has certainly made a strong enemy due to what happened today. Their Head Teacher Yin Hanjiang might deeply regret until his intestines turn green I guess!”
“Mistress, you really believe that he is able to form such a major sect in merely three years?” After listening to Qingqing’s words, Jian Pu’s face was filled with doubts.
What he was saying is a sect. Listening to Hong Xiaobao’s intentions, he alone was enough to compete with the Thunder Sound Pavilion! He even wanted to do it in three years! Did he think he was a G.o.d? Three years wasn’t necessarily enough time to even build the sect building!
