Chapter 102: Rising Undercurrent...

Chapter 102: Rising Undercurrent...

It had been three days since Madam Qing bought the Common Grade Spirit Link.

At first, the Qing clansmen were skeptical about it, but when it was tested, they were shocked.

The Spirit Link worked like magic. It could allow those connected to talk as if they were facing each other.

With such powerful artifacts, how could the Qing Clan not try to acquire it?

And tonight, they had just acquired it.

It cost them ten thousand middle-grade stones. Although it was expensive, for such a big clan, it was nothing.

Slowly, a big carriage was driven into the Qing Clan’s mansion under the cover of the night.

A thick tension permeated the air. All the guards were on alert for any unforeseen events.

The Clan Master and elders came out with a look of anticipation on their faces.

Even though it was past midnight, the Moon Orb illuminated the mansion.

Among the various young masters and young misses, Qing Yu looked at the carriage with a look of anticipation.

"Second brother, what do you think is in the carriage?" a little girl asked in a low voice, looking at Qing Yu.

"A powerful artifact," Qing Yu responded.

Hmm?!

Everyone around him looked at him with confusion. What powerful artifact?

Feeling their gaze, Qing Yu was too lazy to explain as his eyes were on the carriage.

The carriage had been modified to carry the artifacts.

"Be careful!" Madam Qing snapped at a guard.

All the guards tensed up as they slowly carried the Relay Hub, which was over 5 meters in height, out of the carriage.

Mo Jian had upgraded the Standard Spirit Link Relay Hub to look grand and imposing, unlike the first version that looked crude.

The cone-like-shaped artifact made from various metals covered in runes and light stone captivated everyone’s mind.

"What a strange artifact. I’ve never seen such a beautiful artifact before," an elder murmured.

Everyone in the Qing’s mansion looked at the Relay Hub with fascination.

Gradually, the Relay Hub was brought to the deepest part of the mansion, where only a few people could access.

After setting it down, they activated a protective and concealing array. Apart from that, they increased the guards around the location.

"Madam Qing, what’s next?" an elder asked with a look of anticipation.

"We need to distribute the Standard Grade Spirit Link. Unlike the Common Grade, this is different," Madam Qing replied.

"How many Spirit Links does it have?" the Qing Clan Master asked.

"One hundred."

"Good. Good. This is enough for our clan to communicate smoothly." The Clan Master nodded. "Call everyone that needs the Spirit Link."

Quickly, they gathered all the hundred important people in the clan, and Madam Qing gave them a Spirit Link.

Holding the Spirit Link, the Clan Master, elders, and everyone had a look of anticipation.

Madam Qing activated the Relay Hub with five middle-grade Spirit Stones.

With the activation of the Spirit Relay Hub, the hub vibrated with a light humming sound.

"How is it? Is it working?" the Clan Master asked.

"I think so," Madam Qing responded.

This was her first time doing it. Thus, they did not have any experience with it.

After checking the Relay Hub for a moment and not detecting any anomalies, she nodded.

Leaving the sacred ground, she looked at the people that could not wait to try the Spirit Link.

"Now, you can start registering your Spirit Link on the Spirit Link Network of our clan," Madam announced.

She took out her Spirit Link, activated her spiritual energy, and muttered, "Madam Qing."

The Spirit Link glowed for a moment before it returned to normal.

With her taking the lead, the Clan Master followed after, and thus, everyone began to register their names.

Next, they exchanged contacts with each other.

A minute later, everyone was done, and they looked at Madam Qing.

"Who is going to test it?" she asked. "We need twenty people to try it at the same time."

Without hesitation, twenty people stepped forward, and she ordered them to move to various locations in the city.

While the city was asleep, the Qing Clan’s men were rushing to various parts of the city at their top speed.

Inside the Qing Clan’s mansion, all the elders waited patiently. A few minutes later, one of the elder’s Spirit Links vibrated.

’Huh!’

Everyone looked at each other, their faces beaming with joy. The elder didn’t dilly-dally and received the call.

Instantly, an excited voice came from the Spirit Link.

"Hahahaha! It worked!" an elder laughed.

Just then, another elder’s Spirit Link vibrated.

And like that, the elders’ Spirit Links vibrated one after the other, marking the success of the Standard Grade Spirit Link.

After ten minutes of excitement, the elders gradually got over the novel experience of the Spirit Link communication.

Seated inside the grand hall, all the elders discussed with solemn expressions.

"Do you know the power behind this incredible artifact?" an elder asked.

"I don’t know," Madam Qing shook her head. "According to the information I received, they were new in the black market."

’Hmm!’ The Clan Master gently tapped his armrest.

"Are there any other new things in the chamber?" he asked.

"Yes. Apart from the Spirit Link and Moon Orb, there is the No-Heat Stove."

No-Heat Stove?!

All the elders looked at each other with confusion. The Clan Master turned to look at his wife.

"Dear, can you help us to find out about this No-Heat Stove tomorrow?"

"Alright, I’ll see what I can do about it."

Meanwhile, in a secluded part of the Qing Mansion, a female servant took out a small bird from its cage and tied a folded paper to its leg.

Nervously, she waited. Her palms sweated, her eyes wandered around for a moment before she released the bird.

With that, she hastily returned to the servant quarters.

.....

...

Also in the outer city, Boss Kun looked at the palm-sized artifact in his hand. His gaze roamed the artifact for a moment before it moved to the small Relay Hub on the table.

"You said this could allow five people to communicate as if they were beside each other as long as they were within 5 km?" his thick voice echoed in the thick quiet room.

"Yes, Boss Kun. My men and I have already tested it," the young man responded with a nod.

"How much does this cost?"

"Ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones," he replied and thought for a moment before he added, "There is another grade which is the Standard Grade, which costs ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones."

"What!" Boss Kun widened his eyes. "Are you sure?" He rose from his feet.

He had collected one million lower-grade Spirit Stones for the deed of the medium-sized store, thinking he had made a huge harvest.

But now, he realized he had made a huge loss.

’I knew it! Those damn people had money, and they thought they could keep it.’ His eyes blazed with greed.

"Gather the men. We’re attacking the store tonight," he commanded.

This time around, he would join the operation, as he couldn’t allow this operation to fail.

....

....

The Mo Clan.

A middle-aged man rushed toward the inner courtyard of the mansion with his face filled with urgency.

"Young Master, there is news from the Qing Clan," he shouted as he entered the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, a handsome young man stood beside a pond feeding a school of fish.

"What is the message?" he asked without looking at the man as he continued to feed his fish.

"According to our spy, the Qing just got a powerful artifact that allows them to communicate as if they were facing each other within a 50 km radius."

’Hmm?’

"Is this true?" He stopped his action and looked at the middle-aged man for the first time.

"Yes, Young Master. Some of the men even spotted some of the Qing Clan’s men rushing around the city after midnight."

The young man did not respond for a moment before he commanded, "Send our men to keep eyes on the Qing Clan. Also, tell our spies to find out where they got the artifact."

"Yes, Young Master."

The middle-aged man departed to complete the order while the young master was lost in thought.

’An artifact that could talk to people within a 50 km radius... Where did the Qing Clan find such rare artifacts?’

’This is interesting...’ he mused, with flashes of anticipation on his face.

Unknown to the Qing Clan, their little secret had been known by their arch-enemies.

....

....

Outer city.

Inside a private mansion, Mo Jian was reading through the night sales with a light smile on his face.

Their sales were increasing with each passing day.

He nodded and dropped the—

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Tian. "Increase the Spirit Link price by ten times."

’Hmm!’

Zhao Tian widened his eyes. Why would Mo Jian want to increase the price by such a large margin?

"Don’t compare the Southern Region with our region. There is a lot of wealth here," he explained slowly. "If we’re going to dominate the market, it’s not by reducing the price."

"Moreover, we don’t have any competitors. So why shouldn’t we make more money?"

Listening to Mo Jian, Zhao Tian opened his mouth for a moment before he sighed. Compared to Mo Jian, he was still lacking.

Shortly after Zhao Tian departed, Elder Xu Bin arrived.

"Young Master, everything has been prepared. We’re waiting for you."

"Good. Tomorrow, we will go to the location." A light smile crept up his lips.

As long as they set up the interregional transmission Relay Hub, they would be able to communicate with the Western Region.
