Chapter 87: A lesson for the others.

Standing beside Mo Jian, Zhao Tian was grinning from ear to ear as he watched all the eighteen Core Refining Warriors sign with their chamber.

Previously, they had depended on the influence of the sect to deter their enemies from having any ideas against their store.

But now, with these Core Refining Warriors, they could stand on their feet without the fear of the sect not having their back.

Also, they could safely secure any of their assets without the fear of being stolen.

"Young Master, we’ve signed the contract. You should fulfill your part," the old withered man said calmly.

All the Core Refining Warriors nodded.

This was the reasoning why they were willing to lower their heads and join the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

Unbothered by the gazes directed at him, Mo Jian responded, "Why the rush? Since you’ve all signed the contract and you know I can’t break it, of course, you will receive the promised reward."

"But first, you must integrate into my Thousand Wealth Chamber. Each of you will be assigned your job, and also you must know the rules of the chamber."

When the Core Refining Warriors heard this, a slight frown appeared on their faces. This was not what they expected.

They exchanged subtle glances, and the old withered man spoke.

"Young Master, you’re going back on your word. How can we work for you if your word means nothing?"

Mo Jian turned his head and stared directly into the old man’s eyes. "First, if you talk to me, you show me the respect of a boss. Second, don’t ever question my integrity."

"Now, you work for me. If you act high and mighty before me once again, don’t blame me for putting you in your place."

"There won’t be a second time."

"Is that clear?"

His voice was calm but filled with authority.

The room descended into deafening silence, everyone holding their breath. Zhao Tian looked at Mo Jian, giving a thumbs-up in his mind.

’Ahahah. These old dogs think they can intimidate the Young Master. Hahaha, they’re in for the shock of their lives.’

"Now that you’ve all understood your place, follow Zhao Tian to get introduced, and when you’re done, come and meet me in my office."

With that, Mo Jian left the room calmly.

As for the Core Refining Warriors, they all wore various conflicted expressions on their faces.

From this short episode, they found out Mo Jian was not an easy young man to deal with. Inwardly, each of them began to review their plans.

As for the old withered man, a sharp sinister glint flashed deep in his eyes before he vanished without trace.

’You just wait!’

Back in his office, Mo Jian did not hesitate to visit the system store. For those Core Refining Warriors, what they were dying to have was a complete technique that would allow them to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Even those who were still young among them all knew the shortcomings of their techniques.

Thus, they all wished to change to a much better technique before they reached the peak, where it would be very hard to break through to the Golden Core realm.

[You purchased three Mortal Realm Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques]

[Cost: 3,000 IP]

The three techniques were Pure Yang Eternity Art, Blossom Lotus Core Scripture, and the True Mountain Refinement Scripture.

With these, his men could grow stronger.

With that out of the way, he began to work on their plans for their next month’s journey to the southern region.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed when he heard a slight knock. Without raising his head, he said, "Come in."

Creak!

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman entered.

"Boss..."

"Call me Young Master," Mo Jian interrupted her.

"Oh!" She creased her brow but quickly recovered from her shock.

"Are you done with the initiation and everything?" he asked, not waiting for her to speak.

"Yes, Young Master."

"Alright." He nodded and took the three newly created Earth Grade Techniques and pushed them to her. "Pick any one of your choice."

She widened her eyes in disbelief. Did he truly have an Earth Grade technique?

Her heart beat wildly, but she managed to control her excitement. When she opened the first manual, she could not control her shock and gasped.

’An Earth Grade technique!’ she screamed inwardly.

With a trembling hand, she skimmed through the manual before moving to the second manual.

Finally, she read through the three manuals and picked the Blossom Lotus Core Scripture. As a woman, the other two were too domineering and did not fit her fighting style.

"Since you’ve taken your pick, memorize it immediately," Mo Jian’s voice woke her from her excitement.

"Yes, Young Master.." She nodded happily as she began to memorize the techniques.

Ten minutes later, she was done with the memorization. She wore a radiant smile and bowed deeply. "Young Master, thank you."

"It’s nothing. You’re now part of my people. I won’t treat you badly," Mo Jian said calmly before he added, "Your first mission is to defeat ten warriors of the same realm as you while hiding your identity."

"Young Master, consider it done," she responded confidently and left the room.

With her cultivation at the Core Refining Realm stage-5, it would be quite easy for her to find an opponent.

Five minutes later, the old, withered man entered Mo Jian’s office.

"Young Master..." he called without any respect in his voice.

Mo Jian did not care about his tone and replied, "Pick any of the three and memorize them."

He pointed at the three manuals on the table.

The old withered man did not have any change in his expression and picked a manual.

’Hmm?!’ His expression faltered for a moment but recovered quickly, his heart racing with excitement.

’This is it!’

Quickly, he went through the three manuals.

Even though the three manuals were incomplete, they could allow anyone to break through to the Golden Core realm and could even be cultivated to the third stage.

Such marvelous techniques, how could he not covet them?

He raised his head only to see Mo Jian staring at him with a knowing smile.

"Are you done?" Mo Jian asked.

"Yes," he nodded, not hiding his greedy smile. "Kid, I don’t know where you got these techniques, but this old man will take them."

He grinned evilly. "I don’t know if I should kill you or not. Forget it, I can’t afford a Golden Core chasing after me."

Mo Jian did not speak but continued smiling.

"Humph! For disrespecting this old man, I need to teach you a lesson." A sharp, sinister grin crept up his face as he raised his hand to attack.

Ahhhh!

A soul-rending scream escaped from the old withered man. He held his head tightly, writhing in agony as he fell to the ground.

He spasmed continuously, blood seeping from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

It was as if a thousand burning needles pierced every inch of his flesh, tearing muscle from bone with invisible hooks.

His screams shredded the air as he clutched his chest, his body violently convulsing like a broken puppet.

His black hair turned rapidly grey, brittle like dead grass, while his skin withered into a cracked, parchment-thin husk, sagging grotesquely over his trembling bones.

His once proud posture crumbled as he collapsed into a feeble, twitching corpse-like figure, gasping through the unbearable agony.

Mo Jian stood calmly and watched the scene without any change in his expression.

As the creator of the Blood and Soul Contract, how could he not know of the backlash?

When the old man thought this was the end of him, the pain subsided slowly before it disappeared.

Covered in blood and sweat, he could hardly open his eyes. Every single nerve screamed with lingering pain.

"Do you still want to teach me a lesson?" Mo Jian asked sarcastically.

On the ground, the old man shivered just from hearing his voice.

It was now he realized all his plans and schemes were useless. The moment they signed that contract, their lives were in this young man’s hands.

"What are you doing? Get up and clean my office of your filth," Mo Jian said coldly. "As for the techniques, you can forget about them."

This was just a lesson for anyone who thought they could scheme against him.
