I Am The Landlord In Another World Novel - Chapter 346
Chapter 346: Big deal (1)
“You’re a genius! Don’t tell me you know the legendary mind – reading technique?” Shen Gongyang patted the tree next to him, and the leaves fell.
“I don’t know how to read minds, but I like to try to figure out people’s minds.” Tang Wen said.
“Alright, take me to your cultivation Pagoda. If it’s really as amazing as you say, as long as it’s half as amazing as the dog realm, I’ll go all out. I’ll give all of this to you. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“Hehe, you don’t have to,” Tang Wen shook his head with a smile.
“You dare to look down on me?” Shen Gongyang’s face turned serious. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Tang Wen coldly.
“Of course, I don’t care about your little bit of wealth. If you don’t believe me, you can argue with me when we get there.” Tang Wen raised his eyebrows and sneered.
“Lord Jue, you can’t say that.” Chu Cong, who was at the side, quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Hurry up, I’m going to the cultivation Pagoda.
Lord Tang, if you can’t satisfy me today, then you’re looking down on me.
At that time, don’t blame me for being ruthless. ” Shen Gongyang said with a fierce look.
“You want to do this?” Tang Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at him indifferently.
“Big brother Shen, I don’t think it’s necessary …” Chu Cong had just finished half of his sentence when Shen Gongyang said rudely,”Chu Cong, you don’t have to say anything more. It’s useless no matter who tries to plead for mercy today.”
The top half of the cultivation Pagoda on sumi Island was specially for Tang Wen’s friends and most capable men to cultivate.
The space in this half – Level wasn’t big, and it could only accommodate about ten people cultivating at the same time.
However, Tang Wen had spent a lot of effort to inscribe 10000 high – grade spirit stones on the pagoda walls.
……
In addition, Tang Wen had set up eight overlapping spirit gathering arrays.
This was also the highest – Level spirit gathering array that Tang Wen could get his hands on at the moment. The spirit Qi kept stacking up, and one layer added up to another, making it possible to stack up to eight layers.
Therefore, after entering the pagoda, the spiritual Qi was layered into an extremely thin layer of mist.
Of course, the spiritual Qi was too thin, and ordinary people could not see it with the naked eye.
However, Shen Gongyang was a powerful cultivator in the great circle of the elemental cultivation realm. Naturally, when he stepped in, he was dumbfounded.
He looked around the tower in a daze and stood there for a long time, like an electric pole, without saying a word.
Chu Cong didn’t dare to disturb him. However, even though he couldn’t see the spiritual Qi, he could feel the surging spiritual Qi coming towards him like a tide.
Chu Cong immediately sat down cross – legged and started to cultivate. He didn’t want to waste it.
“The dog realm … I didn’t expect there to be a second dog realm in this world.” After three hundred breaths, Shen Gongyang finally recovered from his shock. He mumbled incoherently.
“Is this the same situation when you entered the dog State?” Tang Wen asked curiously.
“Almost, almost. It was said that it was the legendary Holy Land of spiritual Qi.
This was because there was a spirit vein under the dog realm.
One had to know that as the dynasty changed and the war broke out.
The ancient spirit veins had already been destroyed and used up, so there were very few spirit veins left in the world.
Even if there were, they would be occupied by the great sects or some hidden clans.
They are the top forces in great Chu, so how can we, the little ants, have the chance to enjoy them?
That’s why the officials of the Imperial court are racking their brains to enter the dog realm to cultivate. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“Hehe, big brother Shen, do you think I was looking down on you with what I said earlier?” Tang Wen asked with a smile.
“I don ‘t, but I’m still a little.” Shen Gongyang first nodded, then shook his head.
“Brother Shen means that my cultivation Pagoda still can not meet your requirements. Or rather, it is not worth your wealth.” Tang Wen asked.
“Although the Shen family can’t claim to be one of the top families in our dynasty, we’re still quite famous in the capital. We can still afford to fork out a hundred million taels of silver.
Although your cultivation Pagoda is comparable to the dog realm, one month of cultivation is worth all my wealth.
Wouldn’t that be too arrogant?” Shen Gongyang said.
“What if I add this?” Tang Wen took out a small bottle the size of a pinky finger, and there was a drop of emerald green liquid inside.
“What is this?” Shen Gongyang asked.
“You smell it.” Tang Wen opened the bottle, and a light green scent wafted out. Shen Gongyang sniffed and suddenly shouted,”Holy Spirit Water! Holy Spirit Water!”
“Holy Spirit Water?” Tang Wen was startled. This was called spirit marrow in the Black Tortoise region.
In fact, it was a liquid condensed from spiritual Qi. Of course, its quality could not be compared with Supreme – grade spirit stones.
“Right! Only the royal family’s Dragon Realm had it. It was said that there was a Dragon’s Vein in that place that flowed from the dragon’s mouth. However, only a dozen drops could be obtained in a year.
Moreover, it could only be encountered by luck. Back then, the seventh Prince had entered the Dragon vein and obtained a drop by chance.
After swallowing it, his martial arts skills advanced by three levels. At the age of 18, because of this water, he stepped into the element gathering tier and became one of the most outstanding geniuses in the history of our dynasty.
Sigh … It’s a pity that he was short – lived. Because of a woman, he sank into oblivion.
It’s a great loss for the great Chu dynasty to lose our martial arts. ” Shen Gongyang sighed.
“What kind of woman can make a world – shaking genius sink into oblivion?” Tang Wen was stunned.
“Luoshen.” Chu Cong said.
“Who’s luoshen?” Tang Wen asked.
“You don’t even know her. How did you get your title?” Shen Gongyang was stunned. He glanced at Tang Wen with contempt.
“There are three great academies in the capital: the Royal heavenly Saint Academy, the martial Saint Academy, and the spiritual saint Academy.
Luoshen is the number one beauty in the great Chu dynasty. She is so beautiful that even the bright moon pales in comparison.
Back then, the seventh Prince, Chu luoxiang, was a distinguished and talented man. Talented men loved beautiful women. Naturally, he had been pursuing luoshen.
Luoshen was annoyed by him. She said,”I’ll marry you when your martial arts surpass mine.”
Hence, when Chu luoxiang broke through to the gathering Yuan state, she went to challenge luoshen. What was the result?” Shen Gongyang said.
“I’ve been beaten up,” Tang Wen said.
“How lamentable, Chu luoxiang can’t even take half a move from her. You should know that luoshen is two years younger than Chu luoxiang. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“Back then, the seventh Prince attained the elemental gathering realm at the age of 18. Luoshen is two years younger than him. Doesn’t that mean that luoshen is only 16 years old?” Tang Wen was also surprised. It seemed that he was even more talented than her.
“Who said it wasn ‘t?” Shen Gongyang said.
“Brother Shen, what is the luoshen clan’s realm?” Chu Cong couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m not sure,” Shen Gongyang shook his head.
“Helping you to break through to the element gathering tier, big brother Shen, tell me, was my earlier words arrogant?” Tang Wen said.
“Not crazy! Just this drop of Sacred Spirit Water alone is worth a hundred million taels. ” Shen Gongyang nodded.
“I don’t want your silver, but I need a piece of land with an area of 10000 hectares. However, the land must be in the capital. I don’t mind having 10000 servants.” Tang Wen said.
“Do you mean that I can use these to exchange for the Holy Spirit Water?” Shen Gongyang blinked his eyes.
“That’s right. ” Tang Wen replied with certainty.
“Then you’ll suffer a big loss. You should know that a servant only costs ten taels of silver, even if you add some servants with strong martial arts.
On average, a servant would be worth three to four million silver.
However, the ten thousand hectares of land had to be within the capital’s territory. If this area was within the capital, it would be impossible.
After all, most of the items in Jingji had owners.
It was possible to buy a few dozen hectares, but it was impossible to buy ten thousand hectares.
That was because the scope was too wide. For example, these 10000 hectares of land just so happened to have the residences of high ranking officials and nobles. For example, if a certain Duke or a certain Prince were to be sold by others, they would not lack money and would not be able to fulfill their wishes.
However, if it’s outside the capital’s walls, then we have a way. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“How far is it from the capital city? It can’t be too far. ” Tang Wen shook his head.
That was because he wanted to get a piece of land first to facilitate the development of his business in the capital.
“Do you want a horse racing mountain?” Shen Gongyang said.
“Although horse racing mountain is only about 50 li away from the walls of the capital, that place is a copper mine that belongs to the Imperial court. Big brother Shen, you can’t take it down.” Chu Cong said.
“Lord Jue, the horse racing mountain covers an area of ten thousand hectares. With the addition of ten thousand servants, do you want to trade?” Shen Gongyang ignored Chu Cong and asked Tang Wen directly.
“I’ll exchange!” Tang Wen nodded.
“Then let’s make a contract first. We’ll make it clear and can’t go back on our words.” Shen Gongyang said with a serious face.
“Jin Yuan, draft a contract immediately.” Tang Wen said. Wen Jinyuan nodded and immediately drew up a contract.
Both parties signed the agreement, and Chu Cong was the witness.
However, after signing, Chu Cong still said with a smug look,”brother Shen, horse racing mountain is an important place in the Imperial court. It’s impossible to sell it out. Brother Shen, you have to consider this carefully. Once you breach the contract, you’ll have to pay Lord Tang 50 million taels. ”
“Lord Jue, I’m not being very fair in this matter.” Shen Gongyang said as he held the spirit marrow.
“You’re not thinking of breaking the contract, are you?” Tang Wen asked.
“Of course not. I, Shen Gongyang, am a man with an indomitable spirit.
However, I have to remind Lord Jue that the horse racing mountain is no longer the same as it was in the past.
In the past, that place had a large amount of copper and was an important place for the Imperial court. However, it was not possible now. The copper mine was almost fully mined.
That land was a wasteland, full of holes, caves, and huge pits. It was difficult to even level it, let alone cultivate it to grow crops.
“Thus, chaoting sold it. My uncle was the manager of the Internal Affairs Department of horse racing mountain.
Therefore, he had bought it last year. He had thought that he could mine some copper ore, but when he dug deeper, he found that the copper content inside was extremely low. It was not even enough to pay for the labor costs.
Back then, the Shen family spent eighty million taels of silver. After that, my uncle was almost scolded to death by the family, and the old master was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
In fact, my uncle has just taken over. He’s not familiar with the situation and thought that it would be a sure win.
In the end, I found out that I’ve been set up. ” Shen Gongyang said with an ashamed expression.
“Eighty million taels of silver is probably the sum of the ten thousand odd – Job workers who opened the mine back then, right?” Tang Wen said.
“That’s indeed the case. Right now, that land is already a mess, and if we continue to mine it, we will suffer losses.
Therefore, I am ashamed to do this.
However, I really want to get your spirit marrow, so I can only go against my conscience. ” Shen Gongyang nodded his head.
“Big brother Shen, to think that I treated you as my big brother, how could you do this? Lord Jue has treated me well, you’re not human!” Chu Cong was furious.
“Brother, you can scold me all you want. You can hit me. Chu Cong, you know him. If I don’t think of a way to raise my cultivation, I’m finished. ” Shen Gongyang said shamefully.
“Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll build a Manor on horse racing mountain in the future. It’s not bad to drink and ride horses.” Tang Wen said with a smile.
He thought to himself,”I’ll build a satellite city in the future and attract all the high – ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital to make money.”
“I’ll immediately send someone back on an Eagle to deliver the title deed. As for the 10000 odd – Job workers, what do you think we should do with them? If they’re still here, you’ll still have to pay them, and provide them with food, clothes, and clothes. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“Are there any martial artists with decent strength among them?” Tang Wen asked.
