828 Everything Goes Well

Jiang Yi was not very good at these schemes so he was happy to be the hands-off leader. Feng Luan had a very good view of the overall situation. Qian Wanguan had a lot of ingenious ideas and very good as executing them. With them cooperating, Jiang Yi just needed to follow the plan in the end. When they managed to escape the Sky Thunder Island back then, they followed the plan that was made by the two, which proved to be very successful.

While he tried his best to cultivate the essence force to improve his essence force as much as possible, he was also attempting to fuse the last dao pattern, and refine the Fire Cloud Armor to strengthen the power of Thunder Fire Divine Shield. He no longer comprehended the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno sorcery art, as it was impossible to increase its power in a short time. Even if he was able to refine the Heaven Fire, it was far weaker than the Thunder Fire. The effort was pointless. He still had a lot of Thunder Fire left, which was sufficient for dozens of battles.

Also, he began to study Divine Voice Heaven Skill, which was extremely powerful when using with the soul swords. Right now, he had more than 60 soul swords and would have dozens more after these eight months. If he could improve the Divine Voice Heaven Skill, he would probably be able to kill any ordinary upper-tier Heaven Monarchs.

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged in the Thearch Palace, constantly extracted the power of star spheres, and injected into the Fire Cloud Armor to let the power of star spheres nurture the Fire Cloud Armor. He already gave up on Mother Earth Armor and Primal Chaos Iron Ruler. He also consulted Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian about it. It was very likely that Lei Qiyan secretly did something to it. For example, when he erased the spiritual imprint, he could have attacked the Artifact Spirit, making it hide in the weapon. Anyway, Jiang Yi couldn’t detect the presence of the Artifact Spirit at all.

Actually, many people knew about this kind of tricks. After the Artifact Spirit was damaged, it would take more than eight years to recover and couldn’t be captured. If the Artifact Spirit was not detected, how could one establish the soul-spirit connections? A pseudo-divine artifact that was not connected to Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was useless to him. Moreover, his most powerful attack did not rely on pseudo-divine artifacts.

The only thing that made him regrettable was the Sky-Turning Cauldron. If it could be repaired, its power might be increased by a lot. However, there was only one master who knew how to refine artifacts in the Gods Bestow Tribe, who was in the Huangfu Clan. If Jiang Yi went to the Huangfu Clan on his own, that master would probably just ignore him. However, it was even more impossible for Huangfu Taotian to return to the Huangfu Clan.

As Jiang Yi devoted all his effort into cultivation, the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association continued to grow. As the two remaining clans joined the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, their alliance with the Situ Clan was further strengthened. Everything was all the right track, and Qian Wanguan and Situ Yinian’s wedding was placed on the agenda.

Situ Ao had no choice but to be so hasty.

If he didn’t quickly marry his baby girl to Qian Wanguan, the other clans would do so. A son-in-law like him was comparable to a gold mine. For the very least, the other seven clans at least made hundreds of billions of celestial stones—all thanks to Qian Wanguan.

Though hundreds of billions of celestial stones weren’t much, they gave the group hope. If the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association continued to develop at this rate, perhaps, it would be able to overthrow the rule of the Nine Thearchs of the East Imperial Continent with its greater influence and power. At least, the thirteen clans knew all the information on the East Imperial Continent with the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, which was way better than the past.

All the actions of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association were confidential. Apart from the thirteen clans, outsiders never heard of it. This was also the reason that Qian Wanguan was able to secretly cultivated ten peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. A lot of things were kept confidential and were known to very few people.

The Soaring Dragon Merchant Association didn’t do any business with the people on the East Imperial Continent directly. Instead, it bought off a clan on the East Imperial Continent. They did trade using the name of this clan. Besides, the contact was one-way, eliminating all the possibility of being investigated and exposed.

This whole node model gave the thirteen clans hope. Even though the Lei Clan, the Nangong Clan, and the Lu Clan appeared tough on their stands, deep down, they supported the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association and would love to become a member. However, Qian Wanguan didn’t give them any chance and took no initiative to invite them. Therefore, the three clans couldn’t be so shameless and ask to join it.

The marriage of Situ Yinian and Qian Wanguan was not surprising to everyone. All the young masters and young mistresses saw Qian Wanguan’s obsession with Situ Yinian. However, when discussing the wedding date, Qian Wanguan gave an unexpected answer to Situ Ao.

Qian Wanguan told him that how could he marry now if he had yet to build his career?

He said that he would wait until everything was stable, and Situ Clan’s business was perfect. When the trade on the East Imperial Continent was completely stabilized and developed ten subdivisions, which would not be destroyed by the Nine Thearchs even if they wanted, that was when he would get married. It would at least take seven months.

The Situ Clan Head was moved by his answer and secretly thought that he had found a good son-in-law. Therefore, Situ Ao wrote personal invitations to the Clan Head of the thirteen clans, announced the engagement between to two, and promised that the wedding would take place in seven months.

Qian Wanguan had good reasons to delay the wedding for seven months. Previously, Jiang Yi wanted to invite Big Sister Bell to his birthday party, which Qian Wanguan believed it was not a safe plan.

With his and Yinian’s status in the God Bestow Tribe, all the young masters and young mistresses would show up in such an important occasion. Most importantly, the Nangong and Lei Clans would never expect Jiang Yi to mess around on his wedding.

Qian Wanguan began to gradually stabilize the Situ Clan’s business and the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, too. He started to train Situ Yixiao to be his successor. The Situ Clan had been very kind to them. Even though he didn’t tell Situ Yinian the whole story, she already agreed to leave with him. Naturally, Qian Wanguan wanted to help the Situ Clan in the end to repay the favor.

Situ Yinian was a very strange woman. Either she felt nothing to a man, or she devoted herself to him. After she decided that Qian Wanguan was the one, she stopped seeing the other young masters or going to parties. She either stayed home to cultivate or went out with Qian Wanguan. Qian Wanguan could also feel her wholehearted devotion, which could not be faked unless Situ Yinian was an extremely gifted actress.

Three months!

It only took Qian Wanguan three months to buy off a housekeeper of the Nangong Clan, who was even an important housekeeper in the Nangong Clan’s Internal Affairs Court. This man often gambled in the Dueling Ground. He was set up by Qian Wanguan, got into a large amount of gambling debt, and was easily taken in as a soul slave by the golden flood dragon.

With this housekeeper on the inside, it was very simple to continue to buy off men of the Nangong Clan. It seemed like even the god was helping them. Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan felt that they were scarily lucky. However, after thinking and experimenting for any time, they confirmed that there was no trick. They were that lucky.

The housekeeper promised to buy off three more men as long as he was given a few months. They were a patrol captain, a commander of the guards, and a housekeeper in charge of Nangong Qiling’s courtyard. Only when these three men cooperated with them, they would be able to rescue Big Sister Bell’s mother anytime who was—after all—an insignificant woman.

Jiang Yi came out of seclusion once over the past few months. Upon seeing that Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan had arranged everything, he didn’t bother to ask and returned to seclusion again. He strove to obtain phenomenal success of the dao pattern fusion in these last few months.

Jiang Xiaonu had always been in seclusion recently, Jiang Yi didn’t have time to care about her either. Anyway, she was very safe in Thearch Palace and could be taken away anytime. Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei had been staying in the Thearch Palace, too. When Jiang Yi and his group left, it wouldn’t be safe for them to keep hiding there. Thus, they had to leave with Jiang Yi.

“Four months, there are still four months left. Hope that everything goes well.” Jiang Yi took a deep breath. Sitting cross-legged, he carried on with his seclusion.
