Chapter 59 - 59: Big Harvest, Take it All!
A moment had passed.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He closed the secret book and marveled,
“Indeed, it is an excellent light movement technique!’
Just during the moment he closed his eyes, he had grasped the Wu Dao secret book.
With his extraordinary comprehension, he had fully mastered this unranked Wu Dao secret book after a simple simulation in his mind.
‘Crossing the River by a Reed’, this is a light movement technique, especially good on the water.
Now, it just made up for his lack of footwork.
If he were to purchase such a high-quality technique outside, even if he had the connections, it would cost him at least seven to eight thousand taels of silver.
However, even if he had the money, such an outstanding technique would still be hard to buy.
Most people would treasure it as their legacy.
Unless it is necessary, who would want to pass it on to others!
Despite walking through a half lifetime of escort marshals honestly, Jiang Zhenyuan has never had the chance to get such a delicate light footwork technique.
In terms of wealth, he is far inferior to the Kuangfeng Tribe.
The wealth in the treasure house just now, Jiang Yuan estimated, is worth about forty to fifty thousand taels of silver.
If the collections here were included, the value would be around seventy to eighty thousand.
This is the principle of wealth accumulation by banditry.
The acts of robbing and killing often make it the fastest way to accumulate wealth.
Moreover, Smoke Ripple Lake is a relatively prosperous waterway.
There are people who get rich here, but there are also people who sink into the bottom of the lake.
Some time had passed.
Jiang Yuan opened a brocade box with a hint of excitement.
This is… Ginseng, an aged ginseng for at least fifty years!
As expected, nothing beats the quick gains from plundering others!
Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
This ginseng, if he were to estimate, would possibly value up to ten thousand taels of silver.
For the cultivators at the Blood Replacement level.
Ginseng is equivalent to the treasures of heaven and earth, which can greatly increase the efficiency of blood replacement.
In addition, this item has another effect.
It can nourish Qi and blood for those who have not yet begun body forging, enhances the foundation, promotes growth, and allows them to enter the body forging stage a bit faster.
It is because of this effect that ginsengs price is so high.
Those young masters from rich families have a huge demand for ginseng.
These young masters are talented, and a step ahead is always a step ahead.
Being able to start body forging half a year or a year earlier is a tremendous advantage for them.
This half-year advantage might elevate their future achievements to another level.
Even because of these accumulations, they may have the chance to be accepted into the Immortal Sect.
Once they join the Immortal Sect, they will lead their entire family to soar.
Such advantages are not something that can be calculated with wealth!
That’s why every family with qilin sons has a huge demand for this thing, especially this aged ginseng.
Looking at the item, Jiang Yuan felt a little emotional.
“l don’t know where the one-eyed hulk got this good stuff but it’s my gain now! ”
After he finished speaking, he put it in his bag.
Then he went to the place where the weapons were stored.
Just by looking briefly, he was some lined disappointed.
He didn’t see the powerful bow he had imagined.
Originally, he thought that being in Smoke Ripple Lake, the Kuangfeng Tribe should have a powerful bow.
After all, the deterrent power of a strong bow in such an open space is extremely strong.
But now it seems that he had thought too much.
They didn’t pay much attention to the bow and arrow.
Jiang Yuan guessed that this might have something to do with strength. Without his extraordinary strength, the power would be greatly reduced after crossing hundreds of meters.
It wouldn’t pose a lethal threat. After all, the resistance of the wind was too great!
At this moment, Old Ma excitedly came over.
“Young master, we’ve counted. The things loaded on the ship are worth about 45,000 taels! We are going to be rich this time!”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, “Good! Also, when we get to the commandery, sell all those martial arts secrets and change all the goods into silver notes!”
Old Ma responded excitedly.
Then Jiang Yuan left the treasury.
At this time, the only two surviving members of the Kuangfeng Tribe were shivering on the side.
They knew their usefulness was over. Whether they could live or not depends on the thoughts of the young man in front of them.
Jiang Yuan looked at them and asked, “Can you two find other bandits’ dens?”
Both shook their heads, a little nervous, “Smoke Ripple Lake is as wide as 800 li, with countless large and small islands. The dens of those people are extremely hidden, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the commandery years ago.”
Jiang Yuan nodded in understanding. Bandits were indeed a major problem for this trade route, it would be strange if there were no powers to eradicate them!
They have lived here for so many years, naturally, there was a reason behind it. Some bandits, even their background was still questionable.
With the experience of his previous life, he understood this easily.
If it were not for the Kuangfeng Tribe running into him, even a few top experts at Body Forging Stage Nine wouldn’t be able to eradicate them.
Just like earlier, hundreds of men jumped into the lake, How could others stop them, let alone talk about encircling them?
At this moment,
One of them swallowed and said, “Sir, now that our tasks are done, can we leave?”
Jiang Yuan said, “Okay!’
Then he called, “Gu MO!”
“Cut their muscles and let them go!’
The moment his words lingered in the air-
Giang:
The long sword was unsheathed and several streaks of sword light flashed across.
The two were in pain and knelt on the ground, but they dared not let out a moan.
One of them shakily stood up, “Thank you for not taking our lives, sir!” And then he stumbled away, helping his fellow.”
“He’s a tough one!” Old Ma came over and commented.
Gu MO nodded slightly in agreement.
Jiang Yuan said, “There are all kinds of people in life. Nothing is surprising. They are smart.”
“Indeed, they are smart!” Old Ma nodded in agreement and then added, “l hope they can go back to their old decent lives!”
Jiang Yuan gave a chuckle but didn’t say much.
He didn’t expect that either, but after they had their muscles cut, they would not be much stronger than ordinary people. If they continued to cause trouble, they would eventually die at the hands of others.
He left their fate up to them!
A moment later-
The young guards had emptied the treasury of the Kuangfeng Tribe. They even wanted to take all of the sinking-iron wood away.
The value of this material was several times higher than that of refined iron.
However, the ship had limited capacity, so they had to give up the idea.
The women who Gu MO had rescued wanted to entangle Jiang Yuan and others to save them to the end and send them home.
But after they showed their weapons, the women had to return without saying a word.
“Let’s get going!” Old Ma looked at the ship loaded with goods and laughed joyfully..
