Chapter 167: The Generous Thousand Wealth Chamber

Mo Jian took a sip from his spirit tea, with a light smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

He was reminiscing about the deal he had with the Four Golden Core Experts.

For each sect to have the tap water, they must allow their disciples to work for the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

Also, the sect must send their elders to monitor the rivers every week.

Finally, the Thousand Wealth Chamber would charge them half the price for setting it up.

The sects would not have to pay for one year, enjoying free water.

But for the artifacts, Mo Jian did not reduce the price. However, the three sect masters were not surprised by this.

To them, Mo Jian had already given them face. Mo Jian did not request them to pay for allowing water to reach their sects.

He only asked for their sect disciples.

How could they not be happy?

For the Governor, Mo Jian agreed to give the capital free water for one month. Likewise, each house would have to buy the artifacts.

However, the Governor’s Mansion would receive all the artifacts for free.

This was Mo Jian paying back a favour to the Governor. The Thousand Wealth Chamber had received a great favor from the Governor, thus, he was paying it back.

Also, the Governor’s mansion did not need to pay for their water usage.

With all these privileges, how could the Governor not be happy?

His wife would not let him touch her if he did not buy water artifacts immediately.

However, there was a catch.

The Governor must support the Thousand Wealth Chamber. The guards must protect any establishment of the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

To the Governor, this was nothing.

Thinking of this, Mo Jian’s smile deepened. He could now say he had conquered the Southern Region.

Without using Dust Valley Sect’s Golden Core Expert, no force would dare go against them.

And if one day, a force dared to go against them, all this collaboration would ensure the Four Golden Core Experts would come to his aid.

Knock!

"Come in," he said and dropped his teacup.

Creak!

The door was pushed open and Sun Na entered.

"Young Master, the clans and various forces are waiting for you," she said respectfully.

"Alright, I’ll be there shortly."

Inside the conference, all the clan leaders sat calmly and there was a slight uneasiness in their hearts.

This was the lion’s den. How could they not be nervous?

The He clan master and Gao clan Matriarch sat beside each other. Their expressions were unreadable.

Creak!

The door to the conference was pushed open and Mo Jian entered. Behind him was Sun Na, carrying thick papers.

Instantly, everyone rose to their feet.

Previously, these scenes would shock anyone, but now, no one found it strange.

Even the Golden Core Experts had to give him face. What about them—mere Peak Core Refining Warriors?

They were nothing but farts compared to him.

Mo Jian took his seat. "Please, take your seat." His voice was calm.

He looked at the Wuyu City Lord and Crane City Lord who sat on his left.

"For those outside the capital, you have to wait a moment before I attend to you," Mo Jian said, looking at them.

"Young Master, you don’t have to worry. We are not in a rush," the Wuyu City Lord responded with his best smile.

"Yes, Young Master. Please continue and don’t mind us," the Crane City Lord added.

"Good." Mo Jian nodded and turned to look at the various clan leaders.

"You all must be wondering why I summoned you..." he began, his voice slow, deliberate.

Everyone inside the hall held their breath, their gaze on Mo Jian. Those from the middle clans and small were nervous, their backs drenched in cold sweat.

For such a ruthless force to summon them, they couldn’t think of anything good.

"You don’t need to be nervous. I’m not evil..." Mo Jian chuckled.

Although he was weaker than them, he could still sense their nervousness.

It couldn’t be helped.

"I’ve come bearing a great opportunity for you all. If you’re ready to grab the opportunity."

Great opportunity?!

Just those two words piqued their interest. Many even adjusted their seating position, straightened their backs.

"The capital houses millions of people. To provide water for each house will be a monumental task. Thus, I’ve decided to lease it to you."

"What do you think?"

When they heard this, the clan leaders looked at each other, shock evident on their faces.

This was indeed a great opportunity.

With the wealth and depth of the Thousand Wealth Chamber, they knew they could complete the project.

Albeit, it would only take more time.

No one responded, but the smile on their faces was enough.

Various thoughts began to run through their minds—how to maximize this opportunity.

Mo Jian did not speak and looked at Sun Na. Sun Na left his side and began to distribute the sheets.

Receiving the sheet, each clan leader read through it as quickly as possible.

Five minutes later, almost everyone had read through the paper.

The paper sheet contained the breakdown of the capital and the work needed to be done.

"Now, you can speak. Tell me your proposal for how you’re going to complete the work. You can pick any district."

"Y-Young Master..." a woman called with a trembling voice.

"Yes... Do you need anything?"

"Ahem... Young Master, I’m not that good in this aspect. Can you allow me to call one of my clan elder experts in this area?" she said nervously.

"Yes. You can. But remember, this opportunity only lasts one hour. If you miss, you only have yourself to blame."

"Ah, thank you. I will call him immediately."

With that, she rushed out of the hall with her greatest speed.

Watching her departing back, another clan master also rushed out of the hall.

This was a great opportunity. How could they miss such an opportunity due to their ignorance?

"Young Master, my clan picked the Noble District," the Gao Matriarch spoke after giving it a deep thought.

Mo Jian turned to her. "Are you sure? You can choose more than one district. As long as you can complete it in two weeks."

The Gao clan Matriarch was stunned. She did not expect Mo Jian would look down on her clan.

Not only her, but everyone was also stunned.

"Young Master, thank you for your generosity. But the Noble District is enough. The Noble District is one of the biggest districts in the capital," she said respectfully.

"So, tell me. How will you complete it, and how much is it going to cost you?"
