BXBX NOVEL Chapter 212 Teaching Business
Moshi's complexion paled, cold sweat appearing on his forehead as horror filled his eyes. He never imagined that Ezra would publicly claim something so big.
The prince grinned. "Is there a rule that says an unofficial outer mountain disciple can't give guidance to others?"
Moshi froze, the expression on his face fluctuating indeterminately as he looked towards the individuals around him. These people had been learning the Gossamer Steps technique from his elder brother, but their gazes were now flickering slightly in thought, evidently tempted by Ezra Zephyr's words.
It was clear to them after all. If they continued with Roshi, the cost was not only higher, but they may not even reach the first level of the Gossamer Steps technique in a month.
In comparison, Ezra Zephyr's quality to price ratio was undoubtedly better.
Moshi began to panic as he hurriedly said, "Don't be bewitched by him! Even if he can reach the first level of the Gossamer Steps technique, it does not mean that he will be able to help others do the same in a month. Mahi Ingale is super talented, how can you guys compare your progress to hers?"
He was aware that coming to the outer mountains to teach was a nice cushy job that his elder brother had gone through many difficulties to acquire. It was after all a job where Gossamer Steps could be earned more easily.
If Ezra Zephyr were to suddenly stick his hand into this pie, Roshi would end up being akin to someone who uses a wicker basket to collect water.
Moshi's words made the other disciple hesitate somewhat. After all, when Ezra Zephyr and Roshi were compared, the latter's status was more trustworthy.
Moshi did not dare to linger any longer, afraid that they would be enticed away. He frostily looked towards Ezra Zephyr and said, "Ezra, one should always leave a way out. If you really intend to teach the Gossamer Steps technique, my elder brother will not take this lying down."
His words and tone implied both a threat and a warning. However, Ezra Zephyr's expression did not change as he smiled faintly and replied, "Did you guys leave me a way out when you collaborated with the other instructors to stop me from learning spiritual techniques?"
If he did not have a few tricks up his sleeve, he would have likely been hard-pressed due to Roshi's actions. Any ordinary person would have had his future ruined by the latter.
After all, the competition in the Spirit Devouring Mountain was just too intense, being delayed a single step would oftentimes lead to one being unable to surpass another again.
Moshi icily said, "You stubborn fool, just wait for the fury of my elder brother to descend!"
"Go!" With a wave of his sleeve, he took the lead and left, though his figure appeared a little pathetic.
The other disciples hesitated for a moment. In the end, they still chose to follow.
Ezra Zephyr did not feel their departure was the least bit unfortunate.
"Haha, your majesty, are you really planning on teaching the other disciples the Gossamer Steps technique? From what I know, there are at least a hundred people amongst the outer mountain disciples that are practicing it.
If all of them came here to learn from you, you will receive an income of several hundred spirit jade pieces per day!" Gill Subzi's eyes were practically glowing, saliva nearly dripping from his mouth.
After doing the calculations, he realised that the prince of Bloodfang Kingdom could become the richest amongst the unofficial outer mountain disciples in a month.
Ezra Zephyr's heart involuntarily beat a little faster when he heard this. The truth was, he had only said so earlier to take revenge on Roshi, but now that he gave some thought to it, he realised that it was practically the best way to rake in huge amounts of Spirit jade.
In comparison, going to the Task Pavillion every day to take on some missions now seemed akin to tough, meaningless labour.
Ezra Zephyr's gaze stealthily lit up with excitement and desire. As long as a third of those practicing the Gossamer Steps technique came to him, his coffers would be overflowing with money. With such wealth, he can help out the Naran disciples to reach higger positions and might be able to rent the Eight Lost Dragons skills that he desired.
"You seem to know quite a lot." Ezra looked towards Gill Subzi with a wide smile. "Are you interested in helping me with this venture?"
Gill patted his chest, a dazzling light in his eyes as he responded, "You've found the right man for the job your majesty. Such matters are my forte. I will first help you spread the news of this, especially to the disciples that are learning the Gossamer Steps technique.
I'm sure many disciples will be tempted by your guarantee of reaching the first level in a month.
If we add information about you having already achieved this feat, together with a famous person like Mahi Ingale's endorsement, the worries and reservations of the other disciples should gradually be dispelled.
As long as we take it one step at a time, I dare say that not even a single figure will be seen at Roshi's place in the end!"
Ezra began to smirk as he listened. Gill's aid would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
Ezra turned his eyes to another man, who had a gloomy face. It was Theor Galearms, until now, he was the strategist of Ezra but now his competitor has arrived who is more expert in the words game than him.
"Theor, I have a task for you as well. Something that only you can do." Said Ezra.
Theor's eyes glittered. "Your majesty, I'm honoured, give me your command."
Ezra smiled. "Not now, will tell you soon."
At the mountain, Ash Bekham's eyes burned with desire as he looked towards Ezra Zephyr and asked, "Brother Ezra, can you really allow other disciples to reach the first level of the Gossamer Steps technique in a month?"
Ezra pondered a little and asked Fenrir before he replied, "It should not be much of an issue if I have a month, but I can only guarantee the first level. The subsequent levels are another matter."
