Chapter 136 - 136: 136: Four Seas City
Jiang Xiaobai nodded. After Qian Mu went over and said a few things to Iron Dance Lady, he hurriedly left through the transport formation.
This time, Jiang Xiaobai had drafted a mega-plan for the Qian Family. Qian Mu needed to return immediately to report to the higher-ups of the Qian family and swiftly put the plan into action.
Once Qian Mu left, Iron Dance Lady stepped forward with a shy smile, holding out a ring used for storing items.
“Sir, consider these items inside as a humble gift from me. Plus, there are also many other things that will be of use to you.”
Iron Dance Lady grinned and said, “Sir, you can stay at the Tianxiang Building. From now on, the room on the top floor will be reserved for your exclusive use. I will take my leave.”
It must be said that Iron Dance Lady, who was entrusted with an important sector of the Qian Family’s business, was quite competent. Jiang Xiaobai was very pleased with her attitude.
He looked around his room, everything was luxurious and from now on, he would have this place for himself.
Sitting in a chair, Jiang Xiaobai played with the storage ring. In addition to the over a million high-grade spirit stones, there were also a lot of spiritual herbs Jiang Xiaobai had previously requested, as well as a jade document.
The jade document recorded many things related to Four Seas City and the surrounding area.
First, Four Seas City was located in the central region of the eastern part of the Tianxuan Continent. It wasn’t in the very center, but it was a very good geographical location.
The surrounding area had many big and small powers in a complex mix.
Summing it up, it was a system of one Dynasty, four Sects, and five Mountains.
The one Dynasty referred to a cultivator’s dynasty, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, which was incredibly strong. It was among the top tier of powers and was located in the most central part of the eastern region, the Thousand Yuan
City.
The four Sects referred to four cultivator Sects, also within the top tier, namely, the Sword Sea Sect, Dingtian Sect, Silver Moon Sect, and Evil Shadow Sect.
These four Sects were located around Thousand Yuan City, followed by first-class powers spread across several tens of thousands of miles from Thousand Yuan City, the five Mountains.
Purple Garden Mountain, Hu Fu Mountain, Qian Kun Mountain, Ming Hai Mountain, and the more mysterious and low-key Jade Top Mountain.
The jade document contained some information about these powers. It wasn’t detailed, but one could estimate the power of these forces through this information.
The five top powers were slightly weaker than Dragon Valley, but the remaining first-class powers were not weak.
Next came a variety of other powers. Tianxiang Building, being a business of the Qian Family, inherited the Qian Family’s unique style, with rather detailed records of some things.
Moreover, the jade document also had a map of the surrounding area, which was a very thoughtful inclusion.
After briefly browsing through, Jiang Xiaobai gained a rough understanding of the surrounding context and began planning his next move.
The first priority was to become stronger. After leaving Dragon Valley to search for the mine, Jiang Xiaobai realized that getting out more would give him more opportunities to make system choices.
Only in this way, could his strength increase rapidly in a short time, and he must break through to the Transcendence realm as soon as possible to use the precious treasure Pagoda he had just acquired.
The next priority was to search for spirit stone mines. This was his capital, and Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to fight alone. He wanted to build a force. How could he do it without money?
With money, he could get resources and treasures, and attract strong experts to help him.
Generally speaking, it was similar to starting a company in his past life.
After generally clarifying his thoughts, Jiang Xiaobai decided to probe the situation. After all, he didn’t know if he was wanted here as well.
Stepping out of the Tianxiang Building and looking at the bustling streets of Four Seas City, Jiang Xiaobai mingled in and started investigating.
After about half an hour, he noticed no wanted posters for him like in Tianyuan City. Apparently, the Ancient Tribe currently couldn’t extend its reach here.
It was understandable. This area was the central location of the eastern region, with complicated power distribution. The Ancient Tribe was formidable and had support, but the five top powers here wouldn’t fear them.
And according to Qian Mu, Four Seas City was nearly a million miles away from Tianyuan City. With such a vast distance, the Ancient Tribe wouldn’t investigate here anytime soon.
Understanding this, Jiang Xiaobai finally removed his disguise. Wearing a mask was uncomfortable.
After fully restoring his appearance, Jiang Xiaobai felt a lot more comfortable even when breathing. He then went around the city, buying and trying out local foods.
Not long after his walk, he didn’t discover anything important. He didn’t plan to go to Tai Xiang Pavilion, and was about to leave Four Seas City to start searching for mines, when suddenly there was a commotion ahead.
It was afternoon, and the crowded streets indicated that something was happening. Jiang Xiaobai immediately went over to check it out.
“Miss Qin from the Qin Family is looking for a spouse through martial combat again, I wonder if she’ll find him this time.”
“Miss Qin’s skills are incredibly strong. Over the years, she’s held several martial combat events and has never found a satisfying match. Simply put, no one can beat her.”
“I hear that the Qin family’s all in this time and even brought out a miraculous elixir, the Clear Snow Pill. Plus, they’re offering a reward of 10 million lower-grade spirit stones.”
“But what use is going all-in if they can’t beat her anyway?”
As he reached the crowd, Jiang Xiaobai could hear people gossiping about it, which left him dumbfounded.
Most of the people in Four Seas City were cultivators. It was a city of cultivators with various family forces.
From the jade document Iron Dance Lady gave him, Jiang Xiaobai saw the Qin Family, one of the top families in Four Seas City. They were powerful, and their family head had reached the late stages of the Yuan Infant realm.
Miss Qin of the Oin family, Qin Nianxue, had an amazing cultivation talent. Within a century, starting from Qi Introduction, she had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core!
Ordinary cultivators might still be in the Foundation Establishment stage after a hundred years. This shows how talented Qin Nianxue was.
Not only did Qin Nianxue have a high cultivation talent, but she was also a battle maniac who believed that whoever had the bigger fist had the truth. She had a wild temperament, which led to the fact that no one dared to date her.
Those stronger than Nianxue stayed away after hearing about her temperament, and those weaker were not up to her standard. This had given the family head a headache, which led to the annual martial combat event for selecting a spouse.
By this point, Jiang Xiaobai had squeezed into the crowd and saw a large arena in the space in front of him. On it, a heroic woman with a ponytail stood with her arms crossed, holding a treasure sword, her face indifferent.
Her looks were quite good, but her personality was indeed a bit hard to accept.
“Congratulations to the host for triggering an opportunity!”
