Chapter 106: Meeting the City Lord

The battle between the Qing clan master and the Mo clan master spread through the city like wildfire.

When the Mo clan master arrived at the Qing clan, he readily agreed to pay fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

Everyone thought things would go smoothly between the enemies, only to realize they were wrong.

The enmity between the clan masters was so strong, they started fighting.

As for the other clan master that needed to be referred to the Thousand Wealth Chamber by the Qing Master—

They did not get the chance.

Many blamed the Mo clan master for this missed chance, but the Mo clan master was one of the few strongest warriors in the city.

Now, the other clans were trying various ways to get their hands on the Standard Grade Spirit Link.

While the various powerful clans were trying to get their hands on the Standard Grade Spirit Link—

An ordinary-looking carriage appeared before the Purple Stone City Lord mansion.

"Stop! Any trespasser will be killed," the guard captain shouted, his hand on the hilt of his saber.

As an early-stage Core Refining warrior, his aura was intimidating, mixed with strong killing intent.

"We’re from the Thousand Wealth Chamber. Announce our presence to the City Lord," the withered old man said calmly.

’Hmm?!’ The guard captain creased his brow.

The Thousand Wealth Chamber had been causing waves in the city in the past few days.

Therefore, they knew of them.

"Please wait a moment..."

With that, the guard captain rushed inside to report to the City Lord.

After a minute, the guard captain returned and looked at the carriage with respect.

"Please, the City Lord is waiting for you."

Slowly, the carriage entered the City Lord mansion.

Even though the City Lord did not have sole control over the city, the mansion was magnificent, with many beautiful ornamental flowers arranged neatly.

Guards and servants dressed neatly in their uniform.

Mo Jian stepped out of the carriage, dressed in a long violet robe. The old withered man and Elder Xu Bin came down from the coach seat.

From the distance, a middle-aged man in butler uniform walked forward in large strides.

"Young Master, welcome," the butler said respectfully. "Please follow me."

With the butler leading the way, they were quickly led into the grand hall where the City Lord was already waiting for them.

"Hahaha. Who would have expected this old man to receive such an auspicious visitor?" The City Lord’s laughter echoed in the hall as Mo Jian entered.

"I’ve seen the City Lord," Mo Jian paid his respects.

He was neither arrogant nor humble.

"Please take a seat." The City Lord was pleased with Mo Jian’s behaviour.

Any other Young Master from such a powerful chamber would be arrogant.

Quickly, maids rushed inside the grand hall carrying expensive wine and food.

In a matter of minutes, a sumptuous meal was arranged before them.

"Please..." The City Lord motioned for Mo Jian to join him in the meal.

Mo Jian did not refuse. This was an act of goodwill. He took the wine and took a sip.

He savored the taste for a moment before he muttered, "Good wine."

The City Lord smiled and replied proudly, "That is my best wine. This old man has been keeping it for so many years."

"Since the City Lord did not treat me like a visitor, this Young Master has a special treat. I hope the City Lord can have a taste."

Mo Jian waved his hand and brought out a jade box. Immediately, Elder Xu Bin stepped forward and received the jade box to prepare the tea.

When she opened the jade box, a pure spiritual energy emanated from it, and when the City Lord inhaled—

His expression changed.

’This! So pure!’ he exclaimed in his heart.

With the fame of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, he knew anything from the Young Master wouldn’t be ordinary.

And indeed, it was not ordinary.

His face flashed with expectation.

A few minutes later, Elder Xu Bin was done preparing the tea, and he served the City Lord and Mo Jian.

Taking a sip from the Spirit Tea, the City Lord closed his eyes for a moment to savor the taste.

This was unlike any other Spirit Tea he had ever tasted. The tea had the ability to calm the nerves, and his clouded mind regained some clarity.

Apart from that, he felt his meridian was somewhat strengthened.

’How could this be? Where did such a powerful tea come from?’

"How is it?" Mo Jian asked calmly.

"Impressive. This old man has never tasted such special tea in his life," the City Lord did not hold back his praise.

"Thank you for the praise, City Lord."

A few minutes later, the table was cleared, and the City Lord asked seriously,

"I know the Thousand Wealth Chamber Young Master would not visit this old man for nothing. What do you need?"

"City Lord, do you know this stone?" Mo Jian brought out the Pulse Stone.

The City Lord received the jagged stone and looked at it for a moment before he shook his head.

"I’ve to disappoint you. I don’t." He shook his head.

"What disappointment? I’m just asking. It’s not disappointing," Mo Jian returned the Pulse Stone to his spatial pouch.

He was just trying his luck.

"City Lord, I need Misty Silver Mine, Redsteel Mine, and Elemental Stones or mines."

When the City Lord heard this, he creased his brow. These were no ordinary ores. The deposit of both Misty Silver Mine and Redsteel Ore was tightly controlled.

Besides, this was the first time he had heard the term Elemental Stone.

"For a show of goodwill, I can sell you a few mines of both Redsteel Ore and Misty Silver Ore. As for the Elemental Stone, what is it?"

"Elemental Stones are like Light Stones," Mo Jian explained.

Instantly, a look of realization appeared on the City Lord’s face. Did such a stone exist?

Even the Light Stone mine was not common. A city might not even have one.

"You can’t find such stones in this region. You need to venture deeper into the region," the City Lord replied, shaking his head.

"Alright. I’ll put that in mind," Mo Jian nodded and asked, "How much do we need to pay for the mines?"

When the City Lord heard this, a knowing smile crept up his lips.

"How about the Standard Grade Spirit Link?"

"No problem," Mo Jian agreed easily.

The City Lord was quite shocked. He did not expect Mo Jian to agree so easily. The Standard Grade Spirit Link was priced at one hundred thousand middle-grade stones.

How could a few mines compare to it?

Mo Jian looked at the City Lord as if guessing what was in his mind.

"City Lord, this is a show of goodwill to you."

"Hahaha. Thank you."

...

Long Clan.

Inside the grand hall, a middle-aged man was on his knee. His body was covered in bruises and injuries.

"Clan Master, you must avenge me," he shouted.

"Avenge you? Are you stupid?" The Long Master was furious and waved his hand.

Bang!

A powerful palm strike hit the man, sending him flying. He crashed against the wall, blood sprouting out of his mouth.

However, the man did not dare display any anger on his face.

In the outer city, he might be intimidating and ruthless, but before the Long Clan Master, he was nothing but a mere dog.

Boss Kun raised his head and looked at the Long Clan Master.

"Clan Master, please forgive me." He kowtowed, his head hitting the tiles.

Blood dripped from his forehead.

The Long Clan Master looked at Boss Kun for a moment before he snorted.

"I’ll give you one more chance."

"Thank you, my Lord." A sigh of relief escaped from his lips.

He thought with his past hard work, his standing in the Long Clan would have increased.

’Hahaha. I’m such a fool,’ he thought bitterly.

With this, he realized to the Long Clan he would always be their dog.

"I don’t care how you do it. Don’t let anyone buy anything from the Thousand Wealth Chamber."

"Also, I want the record book for the past year."

"Yes, Clan Master." He nodded.

Leaving the Long Clan mansion, Boss Kun looked at the Long Clan hatefully.

’I’ll make sure you regret this,’ he muttered.

For decades, he had served and done many unspeakable things for them, but now when he needed them to stand up for him—

He was chased out like a dog.

Of course, to them, he was nothing but a mere dog.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" a young man asked, walking behind Boss Kun.

"Nothing."

Since the Long Clan had forsaken him, it was time for him to fight for himself.

’Who among the other clans could I join?’ he thought.

Many plans began to formulate in his mind, but everything led to a dead end.

All the clans in the city only knew how to exploit others. Going under another clan was like moving from frying pan to fire.

Just as he came out of the inner city gate, he saw many people using the Common Grade Spirit Link.

Looking at the Common Grade Spirit Link, a crazy plan appeared in his mind.

’Hahaha. I know what to do!’ His laughter echoed on the street, shocking the pedestrians.

However, he did not care as he increased his stride.

Meanwhile, in the Western District, a group of men hid inside an abandoned building not far from the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

"Tonight, we must reclaim the prestige of the Mo Clan," Mo Shi said in a low voice.
