Chapter 1151: Chapter 651: Shifting Strategies (Part 2)
The cultivators in the sky were greatly shocked!
This was quite a large fortune!
Many Golden Core cultivators didn’t even have this many spirit stones themselves!
Ma Yan angrily exclaimed, "Are you robbing us? Ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones are enough to buy a Low-Grade Spiritual Artifact!"
"I’ll give you no more than 3000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"
Yang Qiangjing smiled gently, "Deal."
Ma Yan: "?"
Ma Bi: "??"
The cultivators in the sky: "???"
Later, the cultivators in the sky all turned to look at Ma Yan.
Oops!
They were tricked by the Yang Family!
At this time, Yang Qiangjing took out the contract that had been prepared and changed 1000 to 3000.
"The agreement has been reached. Cultivators wishing to enter the Legendary Land can come to the city gate to sign the contract."
The cultivators all glared fiercely at the Ma Family Brothers.
They negotiated such a high toll!
But now the deal was set, the Yang Family had already decided.
They could only suffer in silence.
At least 3000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones could be squeezed out by any ambitious Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
Only a few cultivators... looked awkward.
They might be really poor or just spent a large amount of spirit stones on purchasing a magic treasure for the upcoming challenge.
They truly didn’t have 3000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones at hand now.
"Oh right, if you really can’t make it, my Yang Family can provide a loan service, you can pledge magic treasures or spiritual materials of equivalent value here, to be redeemed later, or if you come out alive, you can use any unnecessary treasure to offset the debt."
The people above heard Yang Qiangjing’s words and their mouths twitched severely.
"These Yang Family people are ruthless... Haven’t even entered yet, and they’re already skinning us alive."
"Are you still going then?"
"Going of course! Do you even know how many Spirit Stones a Miracle Treasure that can help you ascend to Nascent Soul Stage sells for?"
"How many?"
"A million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Phew~~~ That’s more spirit stones than I could earn in a lifetime."
At this time, even knowing they’d be exploited, many cultivators still flew out from the treasure ship, arriving at the gathering place outside Bright City.
Yang Minrui was dispatched by Yang Qiangjing to sign contracts with them.
The contract’s main body is the Danai Empire.
It’s impossible for these people to breach the contract, even if they reach Nascent Soul Stage, they can’t escape the dynasty’s Qi Fortune.
Some rebels didn’t want to be preyed upon by the Yang Family, but too many had already compromised, and they had been thoroughly divided.
After some fuss, the Yang Family ignored them, and they had no choice but to succumb.
For if they didn’t pay, the Yang Family wouldn’t let them enter.
A group of 251 cultivators finally all handed over spirit stones, some using treasures to offset the debt.
"Min Yong, send them in."
Yang Minyong held the Yellow Book capable of opening the Legendary Land, offering it above the heads of the crowd.
"Look at this book!"
As illustrations appeared, the people below couldn’t help but begin reading.
"White Grain Warehouse..."
Subsequently, a yellow light blossomed from the book!
A tall, thin shadow grew from everyone’s back, with a whip that pulled their figures in.
Buzz!
The yellow light dissipated, and 251 Golden Core cultivators all entered the Legendary Land, White Grain Warehouse.
"So many people... yet it’s not full? It seems like this Legendary Land can only be opened once."
Based on their current knowledge, those Legendary Lands that open periodically usually limit the number of entrants, like another Legendary Land they control, [Flowing Water Tribe], which only allows for 30 slots.
The four dynasties share these slots equally, with the other three dynasties getting 7 each, and the Danai Empire being the primary gets 9 slots.
"Speaking of which... we’ll be entering the Flowing Water Tribe next month. If this side isn’t finished, who should we send?"
Yang Qiangjing looked at Yang Minrui and Yang Minyong, who had been running back and forth helping out, with some suspicion on her face.
Because now amongst the Yang Family people outside, they were the biggest, the rest were just their usual errand-runners.
Oh, right, there were two elders.
Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan, since they didn’t care about these matters, were playing cards while others watched the excitement, they weren’t sucked in either.
If they really had to allot slots, they could only choose from these people...
"Was it a coincidence?"
Yang Qiangjing recalled the incidents of the past few days, feeling that something wasn’t quite right...
"Well done, Xiao Jing, you’ve made another big profit!"
Yang Genshuo, seeing that Yang Qiangjing had handled things well, also breathed a sigh of relief.
All of a sudden, the Yang Family had collected about 753,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which was a considerable amount.
Yang Qiangjing had turned a crisis into a resource boost.
The whole process, from confrontation, act, to negotiation, flowed smoothly and effortlessly.
Although ultimately the Legendary Land was shared with others, at least Bright City was safe.
Yang Genshuo even thought... Yang Qiangjing might have long been prepared for this kind of event.
"Ancestor... have you looked into Yang Minrui recently?"
"Him? Not really... But he seems always to be helping you stabilize the empire’s order, although his character might not be the strongest, his work ability is okay, why?"
"Nothing... it’s just that the situation this time is somewhat beyond control, and I can’t help but feel it’s not merely coincidental."
"Are you suspecting Yang Minrui of foul play behind the scenes?"
"Hard to say... Ancestor, when you have time... never mind, he’s smart, knowing you’ve returned, he won’t show any flaws."
"That’s true... actually, the descendants of the Yang Family know I can see them, but if we were to exchange divine sense communication, I can’t discern their every thought, can only see their actions. So far... Yang Minrui’s actions have been quite normal, perhaps you’re overthinking it."
"Let’s hope so..."
"Alright, so many people went in, if it’s a one-time Legendary Land, the first to pass through might get the most precious reward; I’ll have my eyes on what’s happening inside."
"It might also directly end this Legendary Land..."
The external situation was stabilized by Yang Qiangjing and others, while Yang Genshuo continued observing those venturing inside.
Besides Yang Zhu’s group reaching the county, many groups had arrived.
Yang Min’s group, Yang Qiangjin’s group, Yang Zhushuang’s group...
Among them, Yang Min was the most decisive, leading 9 hangers-on underground, emerging before the city gates!
"Open the gate! We are deregistration officials delivering grain to Beijing!"
"Open the gate!"
"Let us in!"
Yet their cries didn’t make the soldiers on the walls open the gates, instead, they received a few arrows.
Flowing corpses wailed and swarmed from behind, snapping their jaws as if to consume them.
Among them, a robust flowing corpse shouted, "The foolish king is brutal; why do you still deliver grain for him! Join us to overturn this world together!"
"Join us or die!"
Remarkably, there was a talking flowing corpse!
Yang Genshuo, just turning back, saw this scene.
[Flowing Corpse Leader]
Its attributes similar to flowing corpses, but with extra skills to command them.
Yang Min heard the conversation and briefly pondered...
Finding it hard to understand.
"Let’s go!"
"Earth Style!"
Yang Min’s mastery of the Earth Technique was the highest Yang Genshuo had ever seen. He slapped the ground, causing a dust storm on the battlefield!
Once the dust storm settled, Yang Min and the 9 people had vanished, returning to the woods.
No one noticed their trace.
"Sigh... on one side are the infectious flowing corpses, and on the other are soldiers shooting indiscriminately at us, why is neither a good option?"
With high strength, Yang Min circled around and managed to break through again.
Bringing back precious information.
Yang Genshuo quickly relayed the news to the other teams.
The sixth puzzle solver on Yang Zhu’s side analyzed, "With Lord Yang Min’s strength unable to break through, we... surely have no chance either, I see two paths now."
Yang Zhu: "Speak."
"The first path is to find a way to convince the soldiers on the city wall to let us in."
"The second path... is to directly walk with the Flowing Corpse Leader, accept his invitation, and see what happens."
"Huh?"
Yang Genshuo was astounded.
Go with the flowing corpses?
Isn’t that madness?
These creatures looked like monsters that devour humans!
Just as Yang Genshuo was continuously discussing with other teams on how to break the deadlock, Yang Zhushuang... made a move.
