Chapter 245: One can't touch an old tiger's bu

Chapter 245: One can't touch an old tiger's butt

When the waves of mist entered the valley, there was a dangerous aura that came with it. Chen Bingyu narrowed her eyes and with her strong eyesight, she immediately noticed the demons beasts in the mist, however she had never seen this demon beast before.

The monsters was around three-four meters long and seemed to be around three hundred-five hundred pounds. Its body was covered in a hard black shell and its snake body was long and slender, with an ugly snake head sticking out its tongue. The lower half of its body was quickly moving on the ground and the front half of its body was standing tall. It had six different limbs with the first pair being an impressive pair of sharp scorpion pincers.

It was hard to count them.

There had to be around two thousand of them!

The Green Dragon Trail was not big and all these demon beasts appearing at the same time was like a flood. With their deep and dark cries and dense amounts of red eyes, it completely filled their field of view.

"Snake Scorpion Beasts!" Chu Tian's expression slightly changed as he spoke, "This is a dangerous level one demon beast that lives in groups!"

Before his voice fell.

The ground split apart a few feet away from them and several black monsters jumped out from the ground. They raised their long tails that had a scorpion needle at the end, that was rotating at high speeds and releasing a thick mist that instantly surrounded the two of them.

Humph!

Chen Bingyu sent out two palms on reflex and the terrifying strength froze their bodies, which shattered when it hit the ground. This king of level one demon beast could not block a single hit!

Who would have thought that after Chen Bingyu killed a few Snake Scorpion Beasts, a thick mist eruption would come from the ground.

"Be careful!" Chu Tian knew the dangers of this beast, "Dodge the mist."

It was too late as Chen Bingyu took a deep breath of the mist. A burning sensation filled her chest and most of her body turned numb.

This is bad…..The mist was poisoned!

Chen Bingyu took out three Snake Scorpion Beasts with a single palm, but she felt her vision blur and her body become weak. It was obvious that the poison had entered her body and was beginning to display its effects.

A level one demon beast's poison was actually this strong, this was something Chen Bingyu did not expect. If it wasn't for her strong cultivation base, then she wouldn't have been able to stand up. So when Chen Bingyu heard Chu Tian's warning, she did not hesitate to turn and run, but at this moment.

Peng!

The ground split apart again.

A long tail shot out that was different from the other Snake Scorpion Beasts. Not only was it thicker, it was also a dark gold colour. That scorpion tail stabbed at Chen Bingyu's back with an incredible speed.

This sneak attack normally would never succeed, but Chen Bingyu had just suffered the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison. Although it was suppressed by her strong spirit energy, her body was not as flexible as usual. A web of pain spread across her back and her eyes turned black, making her feel that this situation was bad.

Was she going to die in the middle of nowhere?

"Don't mind me." Seeing that she was surrounded by poison, Chen Bingyu realized that she could no longer escape, "Just run!"

"Fox, protect me!"

The little fox was immune to a hundred poison, not even fearing the poison of the Corpse Monster. Although the Snake Scorpion Beast was very poisonous, it could not compare to the poison of the Corpse Monster. So the little fox took a deep breath and all the poison surrounding Chen Bingyu was sucked into its stomach.

The dark gold tail that attacked Chen Bingyu had to be the Snake Scorpion Beast King.

The Snake Scorpion Beast King is a level two beast and its poison couldn't be compared to the poison of normal Snake Scorpion Beasts. Even with Chen Bingyu's deep cultivation, she still instantly lost her battle strength. It was not hard to see just how powerful this beast was from this! If Chen Bingyu couldn't quickly detox this poison, then she would lose her life!

But they still had to escape this place first!

The Green Dragon Trail was completely surrounded which made the Snake Scorpion Beast even more dangerous. They did not even need to show themselves and could just send out their poison mist through cracks first. In this kind of narrow valley terrain, it wouldn't take long before it was filled with poison mist.

Pitiful sounds continuously rang out.

"Ah!"

"Save me!"

The various guards of different resource fields and the guards sent to protect Chu Tian were all affected by the poison mist. It was even useless to hold one's breath because the poison was like a bloodthirsty ant, even entering through the pores of one's skin. It instantly paralyzed the people affected and the Snake Scorpion Beast would approach.

They had scorpion pincers that could even tear through steel, so they could easily tear through human and beast bodies. They would eat them after tearing them to pieces, creating a bloody and scary scene!

Now he finally understood why the Green Dragon Trail stopped their production.

With this large group of beasts that they could not fight, it was basically a disaster!

It was a good thing that Chu Tian's cultivation was not weak, so he moved very quickly. After releasing the Starlight Immortal Body, the poison mist could not enter through the pores of his skin. Adding in the Mind's Lamp, he could find the best path through this dark environment and could also find all the Snake Scorpion Beasts hiding to launch a sneak attack. Finally there was the small fox's support which allowed him to easily escape the Green Dragon Trail.

Looking back again, the entire valley was covered in dense black poison mist with pitiful screams being heard. Those people that did not escape in time, they had probably turned into a meal for the Snake Scorpion Beasts.

Too terrifying!

Even father was almost implicated!

Damn fatty, father must peel your skin!

Chu Tian placed the unconscious Chen Bingyu on the ground and first inspected the injury on her back.

The Snake Scorpion Beast King's attack had landed on her back, but Chen Bingyu's protective spirit energy was very thick, so the injury wasn't deep. The most that she would suffer was a skin injury, but the Snake Scorpion Beast used their poison to kill people, so the injury depth was not important and the most important thing was how much poison was absorbed.

The normal Snake Scorpion Beast's poison was comparable to poison arrow wood, but the Snake Scorpion Beast King was even more powerful. If it was an ordinary Awakened Soul Realm cultivator, they would have died on the spot. Chen Bingyu's strong spirit energy could block the poison, but if left alone and the poison reached the heart, then Chu Tian would have no way to cure it.

He had to make use of his time!

Chen Bingyu was unconscious on the ground. That tight black clothing stretched over her devil like body. Those high twin peaks, those long, slender legs, and that abundant buttocks. This was a strong woman, but losing consciousness in front of someone gave a strong enticement to anyone that saw it.

"Don't blame me, I'm doing this to save you!"

Chu Tian forcefully ripped the clothes on Chen Bingyu's chest, instantly revealing a large patch of milky white skin. Chu Tian looked over and found that Chen Bingyu wasn't wearing normal underwear, but rather was binding her chest with white cloth.

Those high mountain peaks and that gully with no bottom had an intense visual impact.

Chu Tian had no choice but to criticize Chen Bingyu on this.

This girl's bra was clearly not consistent with her body, yet she tightly bound her chest everyday. Was she not afraid of cutting off her own breathing? Then again, with how tight it was, wasn't it uncomfortable? Really, it would be better if she didn't have it.

Chu Tian secretly criticized, but his hands did not delay at all, instantly taking out several silver needles, quickly stabbing them into Chen Bingyu's veins. First he sealed off most of her main veins and then used the Diamond Cutting Pulse Finger on the surroundings. He first his spirit energy to slowly force out the poison in her heart vein.

Chen Bingyu really was a cultivation maniac.

This slender and flexible body, it really was….

Pu!

Chen Bingyu spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly opened her eyes. She did not have time to figure out the situation before seeing her revealed chest and there was a hand gripping it. So as if it was a conditioned reflex, she launched out a palm that was covered in white spirit energy at the person in front of her.

Oh...Damn!

Chu Tian quickly released the Starlight Immortal Body, but was still sent several meters by the palm, slamming onto a large boulder. It was like the stone was hit by an explosive and split into several pieces.

Chen Bingyu suddenly stood up and felt that her body was weak. She went to cover her chest, but noticed that there were several silver needles on her chest. Chen Bingyu was stunned for a few seconds. She looked at the little fox enjoying someone else's misery and Chu Tian inside the rubble.

It's Chu Tian?

He was saving me?

Chen Bingyu remembered what happened before she fainted and her face couldn't help becoming slightly warm. Chu Tian was not moving at all, could he have been…..

Chen Bingyu saw that Chu Tian was not moving and she slightly knit her brows. She was feeling a little flustered, "Are you alright!"

Could she have really killed him!

Chen Bingyu weakly walked over to talk a look at Chu Tian lying on the ground. His eyes were wide open and his face was swollen. Looking at Chen Bingyu, it was a while before he reacted, "You actually hit my face that I depend on to live! You actually hit my face that I depend on to live!"

Not dead? Then that was fine!

Chen Bingyu gritted her teeth and said without showing any weakness, "You dare touch me!"

"I was removing the poison for you!"

"But you touched me!"

"Please, elder sister, if I really wanted to do anything, I would have done it several times while you were unconscious. Why would I even give you a chance to hit me?"

"You still touched me!"

Chu Tian's nose went crooked from anger. Can't you say anything else! Why was this girl was being so unreasonable.

"Good, good, good!" Chu Tian lifted his hands in surrender, "I did touch you, so what do you want me to do?"

Chen Bingyu gave a gentle snort, "From my youth until now, anyone that touched me even once, I killed them all!"

"Fuck, you want to kill me to silence me?"

"I won't kill you."

"Really?" Chu Tian's teeth itched from anger, "Then do I still have to thank you for not killing me?"

"No need, I forgive you!"

You forgive me? You're the one forgiving me?

Chu Tian gritted his teeth, "Should I feel honoured?"

Chen Bingyu gave a gentle un, signaling silent agreement. Chu Tian was impressed by this girl that didn't like to speak, she really hid everything well. I had always thought that no one could compare to me in terms of shameless!

This lesson told everyone that an old tiger's butt and a woman's chest were things that could not be easily touched.

However compared to a tiger's butt, a woman's chest was even more taboo. Otherwise his handsome brother Tian's face would be ruined.

Would this slap be forgiven?

That was not Chu Tian's style!

But he couldn't fight back. Could he beat Chen Bingyu?

"Good, good, good! I save your life and you slap me, we really are close!"

Chen Bingyu completely ignored his sarcasm and gave a serious nod.

Chu Tian rubbed his face. His face had almost been disfigured!

A single palm destroyed father's Starlight Immortal Body!

A single palm almost made father lose consciousness.

This woman's strength was even stronger than he imagined. It had to be known that Chen Bingyu attacked in a weakened state. If it was her normal state, then Chu Tian would have lost his life!

Chen Bingyu looked at him, "Why are you not standing up?"

"I can't, it feels like all my bones were shattered." Chu Tian reached out with one hand, "Pull me up."

Chen Bingyu just silently looked at Chu Tian before her ear suddenly stood up, "There seems to be the sound of horses!" After saying this, she turned to leave. Chu Tian still had an extended hand, lying awkwardly on the ground.

The little fox enjoyed his misery from the side.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Tian stared at the fox, "Do you believe I won't beat you!"

Chu Tian felt the ground tremble and actually heard the sound of horses. Perhaps it was…..The Qing State army had arrived!

Chapter 246: Qing State's difficult situation

Chu Tian covered his swollen face as he walked up the hill, immediately seeing a fire dragon slowly flying in the distance. This should be a torch wielding cavalry unit that should contain several thousand people, it really wasn't small.

What was the cavalry doing?

Were they just charging in like this? This was too stupid, it was no different from seeking death!

When the several thousand cavalry reached the entrance of the Green Dragon Trail, there was already a large amount of Snake Scorpion Beasts spilling out of the Green Ridge.

The Qing State cavalry seemed like they understood the Snake Scorpion Beasts. These beasts were very dangerous, especially that poison mist that the controlled. If they attacked a nearby village or city, then it would be filled with casualties.

"This is a command for the army!"

"We must block the demon beast attack here!"

"Otherwise once they spread, the consequences will me dreadful!"

A single Snake Scorpion Beast could poison a small team. With the Snake Scorpion Beasts grouped up, they were easy to deal with, but once they were released and with the poison mist everywhere, how could they find them? Not to mention that it was night now and they couldn't see the poison mist with their naked eyes.

"Shoot arrows! Shoot the arrows for me!"

"They are three hundred steps away! Kill them all!"

The Qing State cavalry gave up the charge advantage they had and everyone pulled out a bow, raising it to a forty five degree angle, launching a dense rain of arrows at the Snake Scorpion Beasts.

Puchi!

Several Snake Scorpion Beasts were hit by arrows.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts were filled with anger and stopped fighting for feed, charging at the cavalry soldiers. The Qing State cavalry did not dare be negligent and retreated while firing arrows. The dense rain of arrows fell, but this kind of defensive action was not effective dealing with the Snake Scorpion Beasts.

One, it wasn't easy to kill the Snake Scorpion Beasts with all their quantity.

Two, the Snake Scorpion Beasts had hard shells that could resist the arrows.

Three, the Snake Scorpion Beasts were covered in poison mist and it was night time, so the archers could not see them and could only randomly fire. In this situation, even one arrow hitting out of ten was good.

The large amount of black poison mist spread forward like a large tsunami, surging forward at the cavalry soldiers.

"Damn!"

"Retreat, quickly retreat!"

The cavalry leader raised his sword as he called out, immediately turning around. The other cavalry also began to retreat, but at this moment, a large gale suddenly blew forth and made the poison mist move faster, suddenly covering three-four hundred soldiers in poison mist.

The Snake Scorpion Beast's poison could not be blocked. Once it touched their skin, it would seep through their pores and only a slight dosage would be enough to make a cultivator's body turn numb!

"Ah!"

"I can't move!"

The cavalry all fell to the ground. Whether it was horse or man, they all felt their body twitch and lose all their strength.

The cruel Snake Scorpion Beast charged forward and used their strong pincers to tear these bodies apart, beginning to enjoy their flesh and blood. The most terrifying part of this slaughter was that this poison mist only paralyzed a person, but they did not lose consciousness. For a person that was poisoned by the Snake Scorpion Beasts, they could only helplessly watch their bodies being ripped apart and eaten.

The pitiful cries of made the hearts of the other cavalry soldiers turn cold.

"Damn beasts!" The cavalry captain saw the soldiers struggling on the ground and his eyes turned red with anger, "Kill! Kill! Kill! We must kill them all!"

The cavalry released the arrows once again.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts had hunted enough and as they prepared to enjoy themselves, these damn soldiers were attacking them which thoroughly enraged the Snake Scorpion Beasts. So, the Snake Scorpion Beasts put down their food and attacked the cavalry once again.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts were animals that lived in groups and had a very clear method of attacking. Once they left the narrow Green Dragon Trail, they immediately split up into several groups and attacked the cavalry from different directions.

The dark night was the best camouflage for the Snake Scorpion Beasts.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts were covered in a dark green mist that the naked eye could not see. When the cavalry attacked the Snake Scorpion Beast in front of them, they did not notice the other two Snake Scorpion Beast attacking them from the side.

"Ah! I've been poisoned!"

"Save us, the left wing was hit by the monsters' sneak attack!"

"Save us, there are demon beasts attacking the right wing!"

The cavalry fell off their horses one by one. The continuous cries in the night made the other cavalry fall into chaos and they became disorganized. Scurrying around like headless chicken, they were finally surrounded by the Snake Scorpion Beasts and even the cavalry leader was killed.

"Run!"

"Run quickly!"

The several thousand soldiers came to help, but only seven-eight hundred of them escaped.

The other cavalry soldiers all fell under the poison, becoming food for the Snake Scorpion Beasts. The Snake Scorpion Beasts pulled the horses and human corpses back into the valley, with the poison mist covering them as they headed back into the path. The scene was covered in blood and broken armours and arrows, with not a single trace of anything else left behind.

Chen Bingyu and Chu Tian were standing on the hill so they had seen everything, yet they felt helpless.

It really was a terrifying demon beast!

This group of Snake Scorpion Beasts had occupied the Green Ridge and humans could not collect resources from it. It was no wonder that fatty was so willing to sell quality resources so cheap.

Chen Bingyu knit her brows and whispered, "Do we need to contact Central State and ask for reinforcements?"

"Did you see the Qing State army's miserable state! Miracle Commerce's fighters are precious and we can't waste them here." Chu Tian gave a sigh and said in a depressed manner, "We need to remain low key this time, who knows what trouble we'll encounter."

"What do we do?"

"The poison in your body has not been cleaned yet." Chu Tian said to Chen Bingyu, "We can only go to into the city."

It was as if Chen Bingyu forgot everything that happened and emotionlessly said, "We're going to the Main City?"

"From the situation of the Green Dragon Trail, this Snake Scorpion Beast was not a situation that lasted only a day or two. I think that Qing State City is more anxious than us and will have a plan to deal with Green Ridge, so we will go and help them!"

It was as Chu Tian said.

Qing State City was more anxious than anyone else!

There were several thousand Snake Scorpion Beasts living in the Green Range!

These Snake Scorpion Beasts had not appeared in human territory before. In the past few months, it was unknown why there were several thousand Snake Scorpion Beasts in the Green Ridge, taking it over.

The Green Ridge divided the east and west of Qing State and the Green Dragon Trail was the most important transport path! If such an important transport route was closed, then all the resource harvesting businesses would stop. It would be a large effect to the people of Qing State and it could be guessed without any thought.

Qing State was naturally very anxious and had sent troops into the Green Dragon Trail many times, but they had only suffered losses and had not destroyed the Snake Scorpion Beasts. Rather a lot of people were eaten by the Snake Scorpion Beasts, making Qing State suffer many casualties!

This group of Snake Scorpion Beasts had made Qing State lose close to forty-fifty thousand elite soldiers!

This was why when Thunder State encountered a disaster, normally Central State, Southern State, and Qing State would all send help, but the Calm Martial Ruler's orders only mentioned Central State and Southern State, not mentioning Qing State at all.

Because Imperial City also knew that Qing State was in trouble, so how could they be free to send help to Thunder State?

When Chu Tian entered Qing State City, the entire city was filled with depression.

After the tragic battle last night, with Qing State losing over two thousand elite soldiers, this was another misfortune falling on Qing State City. How could the citizens be happy after this?

They hadn't had news of eastern Qing State in two months now.

Eastern Qing State was not linked to any other territories of the Southern Summer Country and depended on Green Dragon Trail for their commodities. It would be strange if they didn't fall into chaos after two-three months! Qing State resources couldn't be exported and rotted away in their hands. Mines and factories were closed with many people losing their jobs. The economy took a hit and many people had no food, how could they not rebel!

Old Fifth Yu anxiously ran in front of Chu Tian, "Chairman, we found him!"

"Is that so?" Chu Tian's brows jumped up, "Lead me over!"

After ten minutes, Chu Tian walked into a rich merchant's manor where a group of aggressive Giant Shark Gang members was wrecking everything . The guards had been beaten down and the maids on the ground all had pale faces.

"Get out there." Boss Yu was carrying a fellow that was as fat as a pig, throwing him through the door, falling to the ground. He pulled out a long snow white blade from his waits and placed it on the fatty's neck, "Chairman, when we found him, he was already preparing to run! We should just kill him!"

"Why are you people! Daring to commit murder in broad daylight!" The fatty Shen Yuan's face was covered in fear. He lifted his black and blue face to see Chu Tian and Chen Bingyu walking in, "You, you, you….didn't die!"

Chu tian said with a cold face, "Father not dying, you must be disappointed!"

"Misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding!" The fatty knew why this group came to attack him, "What happened last night was an accident and I also lost several subordinates!"

Chu Tian gave a cold snort, "Is that so?"

"The demon beasts don't attack regularly, coming every three-five days. I didn't know it would be unlucky enough for an attack to come when you went to examine the mines!"

"Humph!" Chu Tian walked in front of the fatty, "You clearly knew of the demon beast danger, but you didn't explain it to me. What explanation would you give me for this?"

Nonsense!

If there weren't demon beasts, who couldn't father sell the mines to? Why would I want to sell them to you? Since it was sold for a low price, then you must accept the risks.

"Please calm yourself! Brother Yu, please calm yourself!" The fatty gave an awkward laugh and said, "The pause of production in the Green Dragon Trail is not false, but you know that Qing State will care about it and the Southern Summer Country will care. The path will be cleared eventually and mines in brother Yu's hands will be worth money. Even if you don't mine them, you can sell them for quite a bit!"

"Even so, you clearly knew the dangers but didn't tell us, almost causing us to lose our lives. This is a terrible thing, so beat him for me!"

The Giant Shark Gang members beat him again.

"Stop, stop!" The fatty called out in a panicked voice, "I will take off another thirty million, we'll call this an apology to brother Yu!"

A mine with a lowest estimate of three hundred and sixty million gold coins was being sold to Chu Tian for one hundred and fifty million gold coins, this price was considered quite low.

Just like the fatty said, the Green Dragon Trail would be cleared eventually. Qing State was the leading resource producer and if this stopped, it would affect the Southern Summer Country's national strength and would not be allowed to happen.

Chu Tian impatiently waved his hand, "Looking at this pig is annoying, lock him up!"

"Spare me, spare me!"

Old Fifth Yu dragged the whining pig away.

Chen Bingyu was a little dissatisfied, "Why did you let him off?"

"He's just a small character, he wasn't intentionally harming us." Chu Tian said this and then paused for a second, "Also, I have a plan that might need that fat pig's help."

"What plan?"

"Green Dragon Trail has been blocked for three months but there are not traces of it being clear, so this Green Ridge beast disaster will affect the city. This will cause the resources produced to fall and many lumber yards and mines will be dropping their prices. I think there will be many people wishing to sell off their family properties like the fatty."

"Your meaning is to take this chance to seize the resources?"

"Smart!"

"We didn't bring that much money though."

"We can't buy them without money?" Chu Tian gave a laugh, "Come, we'll go to the marquis' palace!"

Chapter 247: Mister Qiu

Qing State's east side situation was bad, but could it not be bad?

Western Qing State was connected to the other states by the Four States Lake, but eastern Qing State was blocked off by the Green Ridge. After being separated from the Southern Summer Country for several months, bandits roamed all over and rebellions occurred everywhere. It was a place that citizens could not make a living in anymore!

Qing State was rich in resources, but facing this severe beast disaster, they were sure to suffer losses.

Chu Tian and Chen Bingyu arrived in front of the marquis' palace. The Qing State's Green Wood Marquis personally occupied the mayor position, so the marquis palace was also the mayor's palace, being situated in the center of Qing State City.

"Stop!" Several guards wielded their weapons, "Who are you, do you think you can freely enter this place?"

Chu Tian lightly said, "I want to see the Green Wood Marquis."

The guard gave a cold laugh and said, "What kind of thing are you to have the qualification to see the marquis?"

"I am a foreign merchant and seeing Qing State suffer from the Snake Scorpion Beasts, not being able to make a living, I came to offer my help." Chu Tian said in a calm manner, "Please tell the Green Wood Marquis that I have a method of clearing the Green Dragon Trail!"

"What? Just depending on you? Stop joking!" The guards gave a cold laugh as they stared at Chu Tian, "Scram now and stop wasting father's time! You better go and appraise yourself again!"

Chen Bingyu coldly said, "The citizens of Qing State can't even make a living and the Green Wood Marquis doesn't even have the mentality of welcoming all scholars? The marquis can't even recognize talents, no wonder Qing State is facing such a disaster!"

Chu Tian felt this was strange.

Chu Tian was very clear on Chen Bingyu's temperament. If she could say something in a single word, she wouldn't say a second. If she didn't need to speak, then she wouldn't. In most situations she would remain silent, so why would she take the initiative to speak up for him?

He hadn't taken that slap in vain!

The marquis not being able to recognize talents, this was a large accusation.

If this was said in normal times, it wouldn't mean much, but this was a very special period!

Although the guards did not believe that the two of them had a brilliant plan, but it would harm the Green Wood Marquis' reputation if they didn't pass this on. If this was investigated, then they would not be able to block this.

"Alright, alright, I'll be honest with you. You can't see the Green Wood Marquis because the Green Wood Marquis has already gone to settle eastern Qing State, how could he have time to idle here?"

What? The Green Wood Marquis wasn't here!

This was something Chu Tian did not know, however the Green Ridge was five-six thousand kilometers long and had six different paths through. The largest was the Green Dragon Trail that was used to transport goods and armies. Now that the Green Dragon Trail had been sealed, the other five can still be used. Although it was narrow and dangerous, they could still pass through.

How could they sit by and do nothing while eastern Qing State fell into chaos?

Since they couldn't clear the Green Dragon Trail right now, they could first solve the chaos in eastern Qing State and then slowly think of a method. If nothing could be done, they could ask for help from Imperial City.

Chu Tian revealed a frown because his plan didn't account for this change. He never thought that the Green Wood Marquis wasn't here and who knows when he would be back.

At this moment, a green robed youth came out. This person was beautifully dressed, with a thin body, and a pale face, making him look very weak. His eyes were releasing a sharp glow, making it clear that he was a hidden master.

"Ah!"

"We greet the successor!"

Chu Tian's heart skipped a move, this was the Green Wood Marquis' successor?

The green robed young man directly ordered, "I need Evil Banishing Grass, Clear Bright Flower, Black Silt Root, and Rotten Corpse Grass. Go to the market and buy everything that they have!"

"Yes!"

"It seems like you've almost discovered the cure for the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison."

The green robed youth knit his brows and looked at Chu Tian, with his faze becoming a bit sharper.

Chu Tian ignored this person's sharp gaze and revealed a mysterious smile before adding in, "The formula for the poison's cure isn't bad, but you're missing one crucial part."

The Green Wood Marquis' successor stared at him, "What are you saying?"

"Add in some juice from the Rotten Poison Mushroom, that should create a perfect antidote." Chu Tian said this before his voice changed, "However, it doesn't matter even if you make this antidote! The use of an antidote to combat the poison is a good use of alchemy, but using this antidote method to solve Qing State's crisis is completely impossible! Whoever wastes time trying to study this antidote is really an idiot!"

"How bold!"

The guards all trembled in fear.

It's over, the successor was angered!

This young man was simply seeking death!

The Green Wood Marquis' successor was filled with rage, "Mister Qiu is a world shocking talent, using everything he has to save the citizens, what kind of thing are you? You actually dare to come before the marquis palace and insult Mister Qiu?! Come, immediately catch this wild fellow!"

Chen Bingyu's eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent.

"It's fine, it's fine." Chu Tian raised his hand to stop her and then said with a laugh, "I haven't tried being in a prison, so let's try experiencing it because not long will pass before someone will personally free us."

Two guards directly cuffed the two of them, "Come with me!"

"I can leave." Chu Tian said to the Green Wood Marquis' successor, "Remember what I said and pass it on to Mister Qiu!"

The two of them were taking into a prison room in the marquis' palace and were locked in the same room. Chen Bingyu's face was filled with dissatisfaction, what kind of person was she? Even the Southern Summer Eight Marquises need to give her face, but she never thought that she would be imprisoned one day.

"What? Are you angry?"

"Why not just break in? With the absence of Green Wood Marquis, no one could stop me."

Chu Tian resentfully said, "Violence cannot solve our problems, don't just attack people randomly."

Chen Bingyu narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "You're still blaming me for attacking you."

"I'm not."

"Hypocritical."

"Alright, I'll admit I am."

"Small minded."

"Your thinking is not normal." Chu Tian thought about it, "Can we just talk normally?"

Chen Bingyu sat on the ground and revealed an ice cold emotionless expression. No one knew what she was thinking under her ice cold expression.

...…..

Qing State Marquis Palace.

In a laboratory.

"Mister Qiu, the materials you needed have been brought over."

The Green Wood Marquis' successor Mu Xuan quickly walked in to the laboratory where a simple old man was standing. He was wearing normal grey robe, with white hair, and a kind expression. Only his face looked very pale because it had been several days since he had rested.

"Alright, bring it over."

Mister Qiu was a wandering scholar and once he knew that Qing State was in danger, he took the initiative to help the Green Wood Marquis. The Green Wood Marquis did not care at first because there were many wandering scholars, but he let him stay out of respect for the elderly.

In the end, everyone was shocked.

The knowledge of this old scholar far surpassed the Green Wood Marquis' expectation. In front of the famous scholars of Qing State City, it was like comparing a bright fire with a little firefly!

The over a hundred scholars of Qing State City had researched the Snake Scorpion Poison together and hadn't had any results in a month, but this old scholar had made a breakthrough in just two days. Just this point was enough to show that this person was a great talent!

The Green Wood Marquis was prepared to go to Central State and ask the leader of the Yun Sect, Yun Tianhe to come to Qing State for help. After all, Yun Tianhe's knowledge was considered first class in the Southern Summer Country. However, this wandering scholar that accidentally came was not below Yun Tianhe which made the Green Wood Marquis very happy.

If he could have this old mister remain in Qing State City and become a retainer to him, then it would be a great blessing to Qing State City.

Who would have thought that no matter what conditions the Green Wood Marquis gave, this old scholar would ignore it all and lock himself in the laboratory, only focusing on studying the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison. When the Green Wood Marquis saw that this person was indifferent to fame and fortune, he gave up on this idea. He would try again after solving the problem in Qing State!

Mister Qiu nodded and then immediately work on the medicine. After a series of complex procedures, he finally made several different medicines.

"Now I'll start the eighty first antidote trials. I'll have to ask the successor to help me record the results."

Mister Qiu dripped the antidote into a container that had the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison inside. When the medicine flowed inside the contained, the jet black liquid quickly began to fade. After it was reduced to a certain extent, it no longer continued to disappear."

"There is still 48% of the poison remaining, the antidote's effect is too weak!" Mister Qiu knit his snow white brows, "The eighty first trial has failed. The next attempt will have an extra portion of Clear Bright Flowers."

"There is still 41% of the poison remaining, the antidote's effect is too weak. Failure!"

"There is still 45% of the poison remaining, the antidote's effect is too weak. Failure!"

"..."

The experiments ended and Mu Xuan had recorded several pages of notes, with a series of shocking bright red "failure" words on them. The best result had only 30% of the poison remaining which meant that Mister Qiu had found a way to restrain the poison, but he didn't have a way to completely eliminate it.

Mister Qiu said with an anxious expression, "There is always a part missing, but just what is it?"

"A part missing….." When Mu Xuan heard these words, a spark lit up inside his mind and he unexpectedly asked, "Mister Qiu, would adding the juice of Rotten Poison Mushrooms give a better effect?"

"Rotten Poison Mushrooms? Rotten Poison Mushrooms? Rotten Poison Mushrooms have an attribute of…..That's right!"

"Great, great, great! This is great!" Mister Qiu revealed a look of joy, how could he have not thought of this, "Quickly, prepare some Rotten Poison Mushrooms!"

Mister Qiu added the Rotten Poison Mushrooms into the original antidote recipe.

When he finished the medicine, he poured it into a container. They saw the pitch black container quickly fade away and in just four-five seconds, the originally black liquid had turned clear as water.

Success?

They had really succeeded!

"The poison remaining is less than 1%! This has a strong poison eliminating effect and is the antidote that we want!" Mister Qiu looked at Mu Xuan with a look of high esteem, "What is really surprising is that even though the Green Wood Marquis' successor is so young, you have a strong knowledge and vision into medicine. It really is the blessing of the Green Wood Marquis, no the Southern Summer Country. That was this old man's mistake!"

Mu Xuan revealed an awkward expression, "Mister Qiu, you're mistaken. I don't understand medicine at all!"

Chapter 248: True expert!

"No need to be modest!"

"I'm not being modest!"

Mister Qiu did not believe him, "According to this old man's research, the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison is different from normal poison. It is made from microorganisms inside the Snake Scorpion's body, so this is a complex biological poison."

So what?

Mu Xuan did not understand this at all.

"Biological poisons are not like normal poisons and even tiny creatures will have their own advantages and disadvantages. This also means that this pure medicine will not be able to cure this poison. So, this old man's idea of curing it with an antidote will not work as smooth as I thought. It is because after this poison suffers the attack of the antidote, it will immediately adapt itself to it and that was why we couldn't completely eliminate all of the poison in the previous experiments."

"But….." Mu Xuan was a little surprised, "What does this have to do with the Rotten Poison Mushrooms?"

"Of course it's related. The Rotten Poison Mushroom is a slightly poisonous herb and the main use is to stimulate living creatures, making them maintain a strong activity. If a human consumes a large amount of Rotten Poison Mushroom, he will die of madness. If it is used in the antidote, then it would strengthen its detox ability and would be able to retrain the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison, making it clean out the poison one time!"

Mister Qiu was becoming even more excited.

"This is not the most wonderful place. There are millions of medicines in the world and the Rotten Poison Mushroom is compatible to all of them, letting me refine everything without changing the formula at all." Mister Qiu had an excited face and grabbed Mu Xuan's arm, "I can say that there aren't more than three people in the Southern Summer Country who can think of this. You are filled with talent and if you're given time to nurture this, then just your insight alone could make all the well known scholars jealous!"

"This, this….." Mu Xuan did wish that he had thought of this, "It really wasn't me that thought of this!"

"No need to be modest!" Mister Qiu was a little unhappy, "Over these days, you have observed my experiments and know my techniques and my refining arrays, only you could think of this Rotten Poison Mushroom. Otherwise, even if it is a powerful scholar, they have not seen my refining process and don't know the refining situation, even I, the refiner would not have thought of using the Rotten Poison Mushrooms!"

"But he had clearly thought of it!"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Mister Qiu, I will not hide it from you." Mu Xuan gave a bitter laugh, "When I was ordering people to buy materials, I met a very arrogant young man who said that he was a foreign merchant. After hearing the list of materials, he randomly said this and was remembered by me."

"What?!" Mister Qiu's expression changed, "How could he know the formula just from hearing the materials list! Impossible! Not to mention whether he has studied the Snake Scorpion Beast's venom, even if he did study it, how could he know my formula from just a few ingredients and how could he know my refining techniques. This is impossible!"

"That person was dressed like a merchant, so I didn't believe he had these skills at the time." Mu Xuan let out a sigh, "What made it harder to accept was the fact that person was so arrogant, saying disrespectful things!"

"What did he say?"

"This..."

"You might as well say it."

"He insulted Mister Qiu, calling you an idiot!"

Mister Qiu's white brows stood up, "What?"

"He said that everything Mister Qiu was doing was useless and it had no meaning at all!" Mu Xuan saw Mister Qiu's expression and then he lowered his voice to add, "I thought this person was too arrogant, so I ordered people to catch him."

There really was a person like this?

Mister Qiu thought Mu Xuan was hiding his incompetence and only this kind of matter could be the truth.

The so called onlookers had a clear view. Mu Xuan had watched him over the past few days and had an understanding of the antidote type, type of Snake Scorpion Beast poison, and the refining techniques. He should have had several ideas and being hit by a stroke of genius, although it wasn't very simple, it wasn't strange either.

If the formula was deduced by an outsider from a few materials and not the entire materials list and even fixing the flaws with the formula, then this would be too terrifying!

Mister Qiu had looked through countless ancient books.

There were no recordings from any ancestors.

This Snake Scorpion Beast's poison should have no cure! Could he have really ran into a peerless rare genius?

"Take me to see him!"

The two of them entered the prison cell.

A youth wearing a brocaded merchant's robe was sitting in the cold and moist prison cell. His face was very calm. There was a small fox sitting on his shoulder, looking at them with a taunting gaze. There was also a black veiled woman with a nice stature, standing there like a statue, not saying a word.

"Four hours and thirty two minutes." The brocaded robe youth slowly opened his eyes, "Too slow."

This...

Mu Xuan and Mister Qiu both stared at him.

This fellow had already guessed that the two of them would come find him.

Chu Tian did not even look at Mu Xuan and those dark star like eyes looked at the old man to his side, "You are Mister Qiu? I can respond to your questions!"

Mister Qiu felt like he had run into a true expert!

He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "This Qiu is not talented and thanks to this mister's reminder, I was able to create a perfect antidote that could counteract the poison of the Snake Scorpion Beast. However mister seems to think this medicine is useless. Can this medicine really not solve Qing State's problems?"

"Saying you're an idiot is not wrong at all. You still haven't understood it now?"

"You….."

Mu Xuan flew into a rage!

Mister Qiu's face also sunk.

It had been a while since anyone dared to talk to him like this in the Southern Summer Country. If this fellow didn't explain it all, how could he be satisfied?

"This antidote has at least four large defects! Haven't you thought of them yet?"

"I haven't thought of them, please tell us, mister."

"The first defect." Chu Tian stuck out a finger and said in a tranquil manner, "You have studied this poison before and you can agree this is a strong poison, isn't that right Mister Qiu?"

"That's right!"

"Since it's a strong poison, it can activate in the blink of an eye. The Snake Scorpion Beast's poison is a paralysis poisons, so if one is poisoned, they will instantly lose all sensation of their body, isn't this right?"

"This is indeed the specialty of the Snake Scorpion poison."

"Then I find it strange. While the warriors are fighting with the Snake Scorpion Beasts and they are poisoned, even if everyone brings an antidote with them, would they be able to stop and use it? Would they have the time to cure the poison?"

"This..."

That's right!

This poison reacts so quickly.

It would be fine to cure the poison after the battle, but how could they do so during the fight?

"The second defect." Chu Tian raised another finger, "Using an antidote to fight the poison is a clever technique, but using it here while thinking you're clever is actually a stupid idea!"

"Is there something wrong with this Qiu's techniques?" Mister Qiu knit his brows, "Please give me your opinion!"

"The Snake Scorpion Beast's poison is a biological poison, so it will reproduce inside a person's body, making the amount of antidote needed critical. If it is too little, it won't dispel the poison and if it's too much, the antidote will stay behind and turn into a poison instead. Do you think this point is right?"

Mister Qiu's mouth opened wide, finally understanding the meaning of Chu Tian's words.

"The amount of poison in the culture dish is set. You have been setting up this poison and assuming that it would be a constant amount of poison, but is the real situation like this? Once the microorganisms enter one's body, the rate of reproduction, its spread rate, and its strength all matter, but this is hard to measure." Chu Tian words were a relentless attack, "Only considering the medicine's effect and not worrying about the actual situation, this really is a failure. This is not behaviour suited for an alchemy master!"

Mister Qiu revealed a look of guilt.

"The third defect!" Chu Tian raised a third finger, "The Snake Scorpion Beast's poison is a continuous attack. The poison mist will envelop a person's body, letting them be constantly poisoned, so will having an antidote even be useful? It would be useless on the spot. If the root of the problem is not fixed and only the poison is only dispelled once, they will just be poisoned again. Does Mister Qiu agree on this point?"

Mister Qiu was already completely in a daze.

"The fourth defect." Chu Tian looked over Mister Qiu a few times, "Mister Qiu does not seem normal, so you should have lived a noble's life!"

"Nonsense!" Mu Xuan was very dissatisfied with Chu Tian's manner and had finally caught an opportunity, so he immediately refuted, "Mister Qiu is nothing more than a wandering scholar."

"Mu Xuan!" Mister Qiu gave a low roar. There was a pressure that covered the entirety of Mu Xuan's body. Mu Xuan could clearly feel that Mister Qiu's aura was not below his father, the Green Wood Marquis…..Could Mister Qiu's wandering scholar status be a disguise and he was actually an important character? For example, a scholar from a large kingdom?

"It seems like I wasn't wrong on this point." Chu Tian lightly said, "This is no wonder the medicine Mister Qiu makes, although its effects are alright, it costs quite a bit, using herbs that can't be bought in large supplies on the market. It would be hard to refine a few hundred, so how will you use this antidote to equip an entire army? Based on these four points, the antidote is useless and only exists in name. Does Mister Qiu agree on this?"

"This old man has used several days, consuming many resources and manpower, but it was all for nothing!" Mister Qiu sighed into the sky, "Mister's words are sharp, but you have expanded this Qiu's knowledge!"

Mu Xuan was stunned, "Could there really be no method then?"

"There is a method and I can help you." Chu Tian calmly said, "Of course, I don't work for free, so you should give some kind of reward."

"How much money do you want?"

"It should be two-three hundred million properly speaking." Chu Tian said this and then emphasized, "However we have been jailed for no reason at all, so you must compensate us for our emotional damage, so I think just five hundred million! It's not much, right?"

What?

Five hundred million!

How is this not a lot!

"Five hundred million gold coins is half the marquis palace's treasury! How greedy!" Mu Xuan's teeth became itchy with anger, "You're also a scholar, but Mister Qiu came from afar to help Qing State for free, while you charge a sky high price for this help! What kind of scholar are you!"

"I respect those that are scholars, but I'm not a scholar!" Chu Tian shook his beautifully brocaded robe, "Look, I am a trader that can't afford to not make a profit. Taking money from others' disaster, that is all. Five hundred million to solve Qing State's disaster, it all depends on you if you take out the money or not."

"If mister can solve this problem for Qing State." Mister Qiu's eyes sparkled a few times, "Even if the Green Wood Marquis does not take out this money, this old man will give it to you!"

This was not a small amount!

It was an entire five hundred million!

Even the Qing State's marquis palace would have to shear their meat to take this out, but this Mister Qiu did not even blink an eye at it. What kind of person was he?

Chapter 249: Vaccine

They couldn't see it, but this old man was quite rich! He did not even blink an eye at paying five hundred million, he was probably even richer than the Eight Marquises. I should have asked for one billion, ah what a pity!

"If we can save Qing State's problem with five hundred million, how could the Qing State marquis manner not take out this money." Mu Xuan clenched his teeth as if he was prepared to make this sacrifice, "But how will I know that you're not lying to me?"

You still don't believe my abilities?

"After idling for half a day, I have already thought of a method to dispel the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison." Chu Tian took out a piece of paper from who knows where and did not even look at Mu Xuan before giving it to Mister Qiu, "What does Mister Qiu think of this?"

Without a laboratory.

Without any experimenting.

He found the cure in just half a day?

Isn't this nonsense? If the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison was so easy to solve, the Qing State scholars would all wish to kill themselves!

Mister Qiu did not believe this because he did not dare believe!

Was there really such a monster in this world?

The Snake Scorpion Beast's poison was a complex biological poison made of microorganisms, so the tricky part wasn't how to kill the microorganisms. The microorganisms had strong adaptive power and could change according to different stimuluses, so a poison that worked before could not work the second time.

So, Mister Qiu decided to use poison against poison, directly poisoning off the microorganisms, finally creating an antidote. However it was proven to be useless and unable to solve the problem of Qing State.

Chu Tian looked over their expressions.

He couldn't blame them. They were country hicks, so how could they have seen the world?

Not to mention a level one poison demon beast, even if it was a level three or level five demon beast, Chu Tian would still study and overcome it. This little Snake Scorpion Beast was nothing to Chu Tian!

"All things in this world are equal. Although the Snake Scorpion Beast is poisonous, it can't dominate the forest, have you ever carefully thought of that before?" Chu Tian looked at Mu Xuan with a look of disdain, "Snake Scorpion Beasts also have their natural enemies. Having them suddenly appear in the Green Dragon Trail can only mean that another demon beast has driven them from their natural habitat!"

Mu Xuan revealed a frown. So what?

"Humans have limited knowledge and since the wisdom of humans is not enough, why not go along with the heavens and use the knowledge from nature? Why don't we find the way to deal with the Snake Scorpion Beasts from their enemies? You've been in Qing State for all these years and haven't even thought of this once!"

Mister Qiu began to study what was written on the paper.

First his face was relaxed, then it became serious, before finally becoming enlightened.

Finally, Mister Qiu seemed like he was as shocked as being hit by lightning and his body could not help trembling. His white face suddenly turned completely red, like he had seen heaven's secrets.

A tattered piece of paper.

But it was more important than anything at this moment!

This was not just a piece of paper, it was a magical technique that could save countless people!

Mu Xuan saw this profound old scholar's expression change several times in just a few seconds and he couldn't help asking in a worried voice, "Mister Qiu…..Are you alright!"

Mister Qiu did not hear anything.

He waved his hand!

It cut the iron bars like an axe.

Spreading both hands!

The prison's door was thrown a few dozen meters, falling at the end of the corridor. Being thrown by this wild strength, it had turned into a piece of scrap iron.

Mu Xuan was stunned. Did this old man lose his mind?

"You waste!" Mister Qiu angrily glared at Mu Xuan, "You dare treat this honourable one like this! If it wasn't for the Green Wood Marquis' face, this old man would split you in half with a single palm!

Mu Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Did this old man really go crazy?

This well mannered and calm old man had turned into someone that had their parents killed. Mu Xuan did not doubt that if it wasn't for his father, then this old man really would have killed him with a single palm.

What was happening here?

Mu Xuan had never offended him and treated him with utmost respect, so why did this old man have this kind of reaction!

"Mister truly is a talent that can save the world!" The old man went to help Chu Tian up and bowed three times to him, "This Qiu completely admits defeat!"

Chen Bingyu was a little stunned seeing this.

This old man was definitely not an ordinary character, this reaction was a little too much!

Chu Tian patted his robe and said in a calm voice, "You can see through it which means you're not that bad. Just ask whatever you want to ask!"

"This kind of detoxification method, this old man has never heard of it before….."

"This is just a simple and crude way of making vaccines."

Vaccines?

What were vaccines!

Mu Xuan was not skilled in alchemy, but he did have a little experience in it, still he had never heard of this method before. Could it be a new technology? From the excited reaction of Mister Qiu, this technology was not simple.

Chu Tian used a calm voice to say, "The Snake Scorpion Beasts haven't flooded the Green Ridge which means that they have natural enemies in the Green Ridge, and more than one kind. These living beasts can capture and eat the Snake Scorpion Beasts without suffering from their poison which means they have antibodies against it in their bodies. My methods are very simple. We take blood samples from these common animals of the Green Ridge and withdraw their antibodies. Through the use of a refining array, we will allow them to enter human bodies thus allowing one to gain resistance against the poison."

"From the beginning of time, this old man has never heard of this technique." Mister Qiu was very excited, "For the alchemists of the continent, we have always used medicines to counteract poison and have never tried anything this drastic."

"That is because you are unlearned." Chu Tian did not give him any face, "From what I know, the elves have created vaccines for a long time, mainly using it against biological toxins."

Who would know about the elves!

The Southern Summer Country was just a small country!

Mister Qiu firmly believed that Chu Tian was a foreign merchant, otherwise how could he know about something like this?

This kind of method of extracting antibodies from demon beast blood and using those antibodies to create a serum for human use, for the Southern Summer Country and even the entire human race, this was a milestone discovery!

Mister Qiu said in a very excited voice, "We'll take antibodies from Blood Spotted Lizards and that'll decrease the effect of the Snake Scorpion Beast's poison on our army, letting us defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"My method can make the Blood Spotted Lizard's antibodies remain for a while, but because there are differences between the Blood Spotted Lizard's body and a human's body, the antibodies will weaken over time!"

"How long will they last?"

"It'll easily last three days!"

To eliminate the Snake Scorpion Beast in three days, that was plenty of time!

Even though Mu Xuan didn't like Chu Tian, he had no choice but to admit that this person that was around the same age as him was a true talent.

"My method has already been given to you." Chu Tian asked as soon as he walked out, "When can I get my money?"

"You can be assured, this old man will pay without a single copper coin missing. This old man still has a few questions about this vaccine serum, I hope that mister will be able to answer them." Mister Qiu said this and then thought that Mu Xuan was in the way. He immediately said, "Go and make the vaccine serums from the Blood Spotted Lizards, the more the better!"

Mu Xuan helplessly left.

Mister Qiu asked many difficult questions along the way.

Chu Tian was not stingy and since he asked these questions, he answered them all. Mister Qiu became even more shocked, feeling that this person in front of him was incomparably deep. Mister Qiu had never experienced this in his entire lifetime.

Immeasurably deep!

He was truly immeasurable deep!

When Mister Qiu was faced with this young foreign merchant, he had a feeling like he was facing the endless ocean or the vast starry skies.

When Mister Qiu was younger, he spent twenty years studying abroad. He had even gone to an incomparably strong ancient empire. That was an experience that Mister Qiu could never forget in his lifetime. Those large empires' scholars and sages, their profound knowledge had shocked Mister Qiu.

But even if he faced those scholars now, he wouldn't have this kind of feeling anymore.

The person that had saved Qing State had asked for five hundred million gold coins, was he being greedy? No! Just this vaccine idea of counteracting poisons was worth ten times more than the reward given!

Mister Qiu believed that as long as they studied the source energy arrays Chu Tian left, they would be able to create many other vaccines for other beasts' toxins. How many people would benefit from that? Many poisonous areas and extreme environment areas could be saved by this!

Saying that he was a world saving genius was not exaggerated at all!

What country was this person from?

Mister Qiu made several hidden attempts, but they were all ignored by Chu Tian. Mister Qiu saw that he wanted to give up nothing and could only helplessly give up. Right now what Mister Qiu cared about the most was naturally developing the vaccines.

Chu Tian had personally helped. He took the blood essence from the Blood Spotted Lizard and used a refining array to extract the antibodies that could be used against the Snake Scorpion's poison. Of course, this could not be directly injected or it would kill someone.

Chu Tian added several anti rejection materials and refined it once more, finally creating a light yellow injection.

"Begin the live specimen test!"

Gu Qianqiu found a soldier that was poisoned and directly injected the medicine into the soldier. In less than five minutes, the soldier came back to his senses and did not have a single side effect.

Gu Qianqiu took a blood sample to examine.

"The poison content is zero!"

"We've succeeded!"

"We've really succeeded!"

The disaster that had plagued Qing State for three months had been solved in half a day. The Snake Scorpion Beasts were not strong and if they could stop their poison, then there was nothing to worry about!

The marquis palace began to collect materials in bulk, preparing to create the poison vaccines.

Mu Xuan was an honest person, directly taking out five hundred million gold coins.

After all, Mister Qiu was not related to Qing State and he had come to help Qing State on his own accord, so how could they make Mister Qiu suffer a financial lose for Qing State?

Chu Tian held a box of gold coin cards over his shoulder and showed them off to Chen Bingyu in a pleased manner, "Now you should trust me, right!"

Chen Bingyu was speechless.

This fellow really knew how to make money!

Chu Tian said to Chen Bingyu, "While the vaccine has not spread, in the next two-three days, we must spend all of this five hundred million in Qing State!"

Chapter 250: Gold coin invasion

How rich were the Green Ridge?

Of the eight states' resources, Qing State took up 50% of that. Of Qing State's resource, the Green Ridge was 80% of that.

Now that the Green Ridge's lineline, the "Green Dragon Trail" had been closed for three months, countless merchants could not ship their resources. If they couldn't deliver it on time, the fees they needed to pay would make them cry themselves to death. Not to mention the wages of their employees, their own family expenses, and the maintenance fees for the factories…..It was impossible to estimate three months of losses!

Chu Tian did not have any disadvantages as a person, he just wanted to provide charity and it did not change the fact that he wanted to help the powerless. Now that the people of Qing State could not get their wages and the large business families were all running out of money, it was time for him to make his move.

That damn fatty Shen Yuan would play an important role here.

This was also the reason why Chu Tian kept him.

"Come out!" Old Fifth Yu dragged the fatty with a black and blue face out, "Do you know why we let you keep your life? It is because the chairman has given you a chance to make up for your deeds!"

The fatty was shocked and scared.

Where did these people come from?

Old Fifth Yu only seemed like a small group's leader, but he was at the True Soul Realm, how could he fight back? If he was slaughtered by them, he would have died in vain!

An entire box filled with gold cards was placed in front of him.

"This, this….." The fatty had never seen this much money before, "Masters, oh masters, what do you want me to do?"

"Stop wasting word." Chu Tian curled one leg over the other, "I know that many companies are selling their resource fields for low prices, this five hundred million is for you to buy them up, do you understand my meaning?"

This fatty was not stupid and knew Chu Tian wanted him to run errands for him, "However….."

Old Fifth Yu menacingly said, "What however?"

"While the Green Ridge is rich in resources, most of that belongs to families of Qing State. Even if the resources cannot be harvested, they will not be willing to sell. After all, their roots are in Qing State….."

The Qing State Families have their roots in Qing State and could not leave that easily. Even if things were difficult or what results came, they would not sell their ancestors properties. After all, not every was like this fatty, being able to give everything up so easily.

Then again.

How many mines could be bought with just five hundred million?

If Chu Tian bought too many resource fields, it would attract the Green Wood Marquis' attention. This was the prosperity of Qing State and if it was left to outsiders, how could the Green Wood Marquis not care.

Chu Tian said, "In the next three days, I want you to contact the various mines, lumber yards, and medicine fields. I don't care what kind of resource they produce, as long as they do, I want it! You will not be buying them, but rather buying stocks. You have to buy at least 20% of the stocks, do you understand?"

Only buying stocks and not buying control.

These words were quite good.

Chen Bingyu secretly said, "This Chu Tian really had a good business sense!"

The five hundred million would not be used to buy resource fields, but it would all be used on stocks!

Chu Tian's mines already did not have enough people, so he wouldn't be able to manage anymore. It would be better to spread through investments. He would leave the management to the local families and Miracle Commerce would just hold stocks.

Chu Tian was taking advantage of Qing State's crisis to buy large amounts of stocks that would normally be very hard to buy. The various companies and families were all suffering losses, so they needed a large injection of funds. Chu Tian's money would solve this problem and they could only accept being slaughtered.

The main resources of the Green Ridge would all have stocks belonging to Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce would have a large influence on the Green Dragon Valley. These resource fields would first provide resources for Miracle Commerce and Miracle Commerce would have a strong resource channel, making up for the shortcomings of Miracle Commerce.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Chu Tian gave it to Chen Bingyu, "We will aim to gather prestige and gain stocks, not seeking to gain control. We'll spread our influence over the entire Green Ridge!"

"Yes!"

Chen Bingyu left according to his orders.

Chen Bingyu was a strong person and had Shen Yuan who was knowledgeable about the area, so Chu Tian was not worried. He directly went to the marquis palace to help with the manufacturing of the vaccines.

Mister Qiu seized this once in a thousand years opportunity.

He had many issues to ask and Chu Tian answered everything. In just these three days, Mister Qiu felt like his entire worldview had been turned upside down.

He started off asking about the vaccines before moving on to medicine growing, and finally asking about alchemy itself, even asking about arrays and other fields. He even took out several questions that he had been working on for many years, but what made Mister Qiu shocked and filled him with despair was that these questions weren't anything to Chu Tian.

This was too strong of a hit!

Could there be a self taught genius like this in the world?

These three days passed very quickly.

They were also Mister Qiu's happiest three days.

The issues he had for many years know had been solved and many things that he could not think through, he had received enlightenment in. In just three days, he learned more than his ten years of wandering around!

This was also Chu Tian's happiest three days.

Chen Bingyu continued to send in reports of victories.

Tree farms, medicine fields, mines, and various other resource fields all had their stocks bought up at low prices.

Over a hundred different resource fields in the Green Ridge had all received Chu Tian's money. These stocks not only gave quality resources, they were all at a discount, which was hard to imagine.

That fatty was really skilled at cheating people.

In order to protect the fatty from being chased down by everyone, Chu Tian allowed him to become the manager of the Qing State area. After all, he was a local of Qing State which would make many things easier for him.

Since he had gained a large success.

Then it was time to finish everything and head back.

Chu Tian's time was very precious, so how could he keep wasting time in Qing State. He found Mu Xuan to send out troops as soon as possible.

"Impossible, impossible! We've only manufactured one thousand and five hundred so far!" Mu Xuan shook his head and said, "It will only be enough for a team of over a thousand, so how could we deal with all those Snake Scorpion Beasts? There aren't enough resources on the market, so I've already sent people to the other markets. When my father returns, it will take at least another month!"

One month?

Aren't you joking!

Chu Tian wanted to curse at him.

Fine, he would help to the end!

Chu Tian confidently vowed, "Give me a team of a thousand elites and I will help you eliminate all the Snake Scorpion Beasts!"

"What nonsense is this?! There are over three thousand Snake Scorpion Beasts!" Mu Xuan said while spitting out saliva, "Even if the vaccine can resist the strong poison, the Snake Scorpion Beasts are all very strong, with strength at the 8th Body Refinement Layer. A thousand people cannot take care of them. Without at least five times that, I won't move! Moreover, the Qing State cavalry all follow the orders of my father and with my father, gone, how could I possibly move them?"

"That's right, if one does not remove the root when cutting grass, there will be endless trouble!" Mister Qiu also tired persuading Chu Tian, "Even if the Storm Cavalry was sent out, it would be hard to eliminate all the Snake Scorpion Beasts all at once. The Green Dragon Trail is narrow and covered in Snake Scorpion tunnels, making it unfavorable for cavalry, so I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties!"

These two really were idiots! There was no saving them!

Why wouldn't they think that he had a way to deal with this?

"Hasn't the successor thought of a problem?" Chu Tian said to Mu Xuan, "The Green Wood Marquis aura is too big and if you wait until the Green Wood Marquis came back to exterminate the Snake Scorpion Beasts, the merit would go to the Green Wood Marquis and wouldn't the successor's actions be in vain? Does the successor not wish to take all the credit for this?"

All the credit?!

This was not a small attraction!

"I ask the successor to be assured. Without any confidence, I wouldn't choose to do something." Chu Tian confidently said, "I have my methods and as long as you go along with my plans, it will be easy to take care of these Snake Scorpion Beasts."

"Ah?" Mister Qiu's eyes lit up, "How will mister Yu deal with these Snake Scorpion Beasts?"

"The Snake Scorpion Beasts are nothing more than demon beasts with low intelligence. If they don't come out, can't we just set a trap to lure them out?"

"What trap?"

"I've invented a beast tempting array." Chu Tian took out a prepared source energy array, "This can simulate auras, pheromones, or even summoning calls. It can induce the Snake Scorpion Beasts to appear and enter the trap."

Was there such a source energy array in this world?

When Mister Qiu saw this unprecedented source energy array, he was deeply shocked.

For mercenaries, this source energy array had an infinite value!

Mercenaries hunted demon beasts by using themselves as bait, sometimes even paying their own lives as a price. If they could substitute that with this source energy array, how much easier would that be?

The most important thing was.

This source energy array could be used on specific things. It could be used to pull in only a certain type of demon beast and wouldn't draw in the other assorted demon beasts. It would save a lot of energy on tracking down demon beasts.

Mu Xuan was still not assured, "Even if we can call out the Snake Scorpion Beast, with just a thousand cavalry, how could we eliminate them all? Human physiques are weaker than demon beast physiques, not the mention the fact they have three times our numbers!"

"A beast tempting array is not enough!" Chu Tian already thought of this, "I've been watching the weather change over the past few days and there is a large killing array that can be setup soon. We'll first setup the arrays and then call in the Snake Scorpion Beasts before using the other array to kill them all, then letting the troops kill the ones we missed. We'll easily solve this without any problems like this!"

Mister Qiu became excited hearing this.

Mu Xuan was hesitant.

Pa!

"Yes or no, a single word!" Chu Tian slapped the table, "If you choose to do it, then we'll eliminate them all in two days and the successor will be the hero of Qing State! If not, then father will leave Qing State tomorrow. You can wait for the Green Wood Marquis to return and after your month of preparation, you can go and find the Snake Scorpion Beasts!"

It has already been three months.

Qing State was already filled with complaints. Not to mention another month, the losses every day were already inestimable. What made Mu Xuan excited was the prestige. If he could remove himself from his father's aura and solve Qing State's problem alone, then his reputation would explode!

"What does Mister Qiu think?"

"I believe mister Yu."

"Good!" Mu Xuan clenched his fist and slammed the table, "Gather the troops! Let's do this!"

Chapter 251: Four directional lightning array

The exit to the Green Dragon Path was a small valley. There were no Snake Scorpion Beart tunnels here and it was very spacious, it was suitable for fighting the Snake Scorpion Beasts. Mu Xuan led a team of elites to clean the ground, setup heavy crossbows and various traps, and etc.

Of course these were all supporting preparations. To deal with the Snake Scorpion Beasts, they needed to rely on Chu Tian.

"Mister Qiu, this is the array diagram." Chu Tian brought Mister Qiu and over a hundred array masters to this area, "You have around a day to finish preparing the arrays. You have to finish quickly, otherwise you'll delay the plan."

Mister Qiu opened the scroll to take a look.

Si!

He instantly sucked in a cold breath of air!

The array diagram was more complex than he imagined!

It covered an area with a radius of two hundred meters and was a giant array!

When Mister Qiu was studying abroad, he had seen some large arrays. These were mainly used to protect mountains of sects or to protect important cities. The array was big and it was very powerful, but the consumption was a sky high figure.

To use those city protecting arrays, they would need to use over a thousand high grade source stones.

For the value of a single high grade source stone, it would be around a million gold coins. If the expenditure of this array was converted into gold coins, it would cost a few hundred million or even reaching a billion gold coins. Not to mention the time and cost required into forming it.

How could Qing State possibly use this kind of large array?

A small country like Southern Summer did not have source stone stockpiles. Source stones were the most basic material for these large arrays because the array was forever powered, if it didn't have a strong enough energy source to activate it, then how could it produce such a powerful might?

Even the strongest person could not do such a thing!

Gu Qianqiu could not see what kind of array this was, but he found that this array was actually made from several hundred smaller arrays acting as a unit.

Chu Tian's source energy array surpassed this era by over ten thousand years!

Whether it was a master like Yun Tianhe or an idiot like Meng Yingying, they could all see the special part of Chu Tian's source energy array. It did not follow the rigid rules and could be considered a work of art, being a hundred times more perfect than any of the classic arrays written in the books!

Mister Qiu thought that his knowledge was profound, but he couldn't see through a single secret in this case. Although he had learned from several famous array masters, not a single one could compare to this person.

Calling him an eternal genius was not even enough!

It was as if Chu Tian had already thought of the cost and turned the large array into several hundred simpler units, reducing the overall cost of the structure. Cultivators could supply spirit energy directly, maintaining the simpler units, creating a large unit that had a larger effect.

The cost of this array arrangement was only a simple fifty million gold coins!

Compared to those mountain protecting and city protecting arrays, the cost was less than 1% in comparison.

The lowest cost and the most perfect array…..This could be called a classical work handed down through the ages!

What terrified Mister Qiu the most was how perfect the array worked with the terrain. In other words, this was not something Chu Tian copied from somewhere else and was specially created just for this occasion.

Mister Qiu's heart began to beat fast.

Ordinary array masters could take a whole year to not even finish a single small array, but Chu Tian could finish this large array overnight, as if he didn't even need to think about it, like it was as simple as drinking water. This was a miracle that had never been heard of before!

"What are you standing around stunned for?" Chu Tian looked into the sky and suddenly frowned, "How about this? If you can finish the array before the sun rises tomorrow, then I'll give you that array diagram."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"I'll promise to finish this task!"

Mister Qiu felt all his pores open and his eyes filled with flames. The array diagram in his hand was a treasure! If he took this to an appropriate buyer in a large kingdom, then this array diagram could be a considerable source of source stones!

Of course.

Being measured in terms of money was too vulgar!

The wisdom in this array was enough for Mister Qiu to study for the remainder of his life!

Who Mister Qiu was, Chu Tian was not sure, but his knowledge was not inferior to Yun Tianhe's. There weren't many of these scholars in the Southern Summer Country. With him personally leading these hundred array masters, Chu Tian had nothing to worry about.

Now he would prepare the beast luring array!

The Snake Scorpion Beasts were very sinister, usually not moving alone making them harder to capture. For this killing plan to work, they needed a proper beast luring array!

This luring array technology was completed after five thousand years.

Actually establishing a beast luring array wasn't that hard. It was nothing more than an array formed from the beast's habits and then enticing and inducing them to move over.

There were many ways of making the beast luring array. Some used false signals like mating calls, distress signals from comrades, or summons from their leaders. There were also types where the aura of their natural enemies were used or the aura of prey was used to lure them in. There were various kinds and they all had the same purpose…..to lure prey in!

Of course, this array was not effective against all kinds of demon beasts.

Some demon beasts with high intelligence or high insight will be able to see through this array. Of course, it was obvious that the Snake Scorpion Beast did not belong to this category.

Chu Tian counted the time.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts haven't appeared in several days since last time and they should be getting hungry. They should be looking for prey over the next few days, so he would use the aura of prey to draw in the Snake Scorpion Beasts!

...

The next day, the sky was covered in clouds and lightning flashed in the sky, while small rain fell down. This was not good weather, but it was suited for fighting the Snake Scorpion Beasts because the rain would stop their poison mist from spreading.

The large array had been complete.

The Qing State elites came in waves. There was no meaning having cavalry waiting to ambush and there weren't enough vaccines for their horses, so there were two thousand horseback archers prepared for cleanup. Mu Xuan selected over a thousand heavy armoured troops to step into the fight. This was the strongest Qing State heavy cavalry and their might could not be underestimated!

Mister Qiu and the other hundred array masters were in position, being able to instantly activate the large array.

Chu Tian was in charge of the large array.

Would it be useful? Having so little people deal with all those Snake Scorpion Beasts, the army began to lack confidence.

"It's all good!" Chu Tian told Mu Xuan, "Have everybody inject the Snake Scorpion Beast vaccine!"

"Everyone to attention!" Mu Xuan was covered in armour, heroically lifting up a flag, "Inject the vaccines and prepare to fight."

The thousand heavy armour soldiers and the hundred array masters injected the vaccines and everyone felt a small reaction. This thing did not belong in a human body and even after the anti rejection refinement, there would still be a small amount of side effects. However, it was all in an acceptable range and would not affect their upcoming battle.

At this moment, the sky became even darker. The sun was setting in the west and the rain became even heavier.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts would not move during the day, but now the time was here!

Chu Tian ordered, "Start the beast luring array!"

Mister Qiu personally started the source energy array and an invisible energy spread in all four directions.

"Both sides prepare yourselves!"

The heavy armour soldiers were in two groups with each side having five hundred people. They gripped their black shields and raised their heavy blades, standing in a concealment array. This array was also made at Chu Tian's request. It would mainly allow them to launch an ambush by hiding their human auras from the Snake Scorpion Beasts.

When the beast luring array was activated.

An invisible aura and the sounds of over a thousand deers crying was released into the dark valley from the beast luring array, almost spreading out across the entire Green Dragon Valley.

Si, si, si, si!

A black fog came from the dark valley.

A large and dense amount of red eyes appeared. The Snake Scorpion Beasts haven't hunted in a few days now, so when they felt the aura of a group of prey, they immediately poured out of the valley.

"This is bad!"

"The poison mist is coming!"

As the Snake Scorpion Beasts approached, the poison mist also drifted over and even the rain could not scatter it.

Every soldier's heart was filled with nervousness.

Would the detox vaccine be useful?

If it expired, they would be dead!

"Everyone remain in position!" Mu Xuan gave a low roar, "Whoever moves will be killed!"

When the poison mist reached them, everyone felt a warm disgust and their skin turned warm. It was like all their blood veins was boiling, but they were not paralyzed at all.

This thing really worked!

Not a single person suffered from the Snake Scorpion Poison!

As for the burning sensation, they were all soldiers, so they had this bit of willpower at least! The Snake Scorpion Beasts had harmed Qing State for so long and everyone wanted to skin these creatures. With such a good opportunity, how could they be willing to let it go?

Good! Good! Good!

Mu Xuan was filled with excitement!

The Snake Scorpion Beasts did not know they had entered a human trap and they could only see the several hundred deers in front of them, running in all directions. This stimulated the hungers of the Snake Scorpion Beasts and they ran faster to chase this "group of deers".

The large array was like a giant pocket.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts packed their way in and instantly, the web was mostly filler.

"It's about time. A group of soldiers will go to the valley entrance and block off the Snake Scorpion Beasts' escape route!" Chu Tian stood up and shouted in a loud voice, "The array masters will activate the array and we'll eliminate them all!!"

The array masters injected their spirit energy into the array and on the black ground, countless beams of light appeared, intertwining with each other until they formed a giant array.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts finally realized they were in danger.

"Kill!"

Several hundred heavy armour soldiers wielding giant shields killed their way through. The Snake Scorpion Beasts were caught off guard and were cut to pieces. The entrance to the Green Dragon Trail was blocked and the Snake Scorpion Beasts could no longer escape.

"Four Directional Lightning Array! Activate!"

Chu Tian raised an array flag high up and in an instant, the ground began to shake as the sounds of thunder filled the sky. Over a hundred lightning bolts fell from the sky, falling into the array that Chu Tian had prepared.

Each small array was calling down a bolt of lightning.

Countless bolts of lightning were bouncing around in the array. It was like they had been sealed inside and could not leak out.

Chu Tian raised the array flag and commanded the lightning like a god. The lightning quickly turned into a lightning dragon, flying around inside of the array. It was like a giant chain that instantly tied up several hundred Snake Scorpion Beasts.

They were torn to shreds!

With black patches all over their bodies!

How wild was the strength of the heavenly lightning? This giant array condensed the power of that lightning and released it. Even one of the Eight Marquises would find it hard to escape from this!

The beautiful lightning rampaged for around four-five minutes. The Snake Scorpion Beasts fell one after the other and not a single human was harmed.

Too strong!

It was a complete slaughter!

What kind of array was this?

All the array masters and soldiers were deeply shocked by this strange technique…..Just what kind of person was the helper the successor found!

Chapter 252: A large success

The Four Directional Lightning Array had the same use as the level one "Guiding Thunder Talisman" Chu Tian used in the past.

The large array itself did not have a strong killing might, but it could call lightning from the heavens. Once the lightning entered the array, it would be absorbed by the array and with Chu Tian's guidance, it would attack any target he chose within the array!

The Southern Summer Country was poor in source stones and it was very hard to create a large array.

Chu Tian thought of splitting the large array into parts on a whim, separating it into over a hundred different simple units. This created a low cost killing array that was still incredibly strong!

Not to mention trivial level one demon beasts like the Snake Scorpion Beasts!

Even a level two demon beast could not block the might of lightning!

The destructive might of this array was something the Three Rulers could barely block. Otherwise, if it were someone of the Eight Marquises level, Chu Tian was confident in killing them!

The Qing State soldiers were deeply shocked, but they were also very excited!

God damn.

This was too abnormal!

Without even making a move, just relying on the array, several hundred of the Snake Scorpion Beasts were already killed and more and more of them were being injured!

These evil Snake Scorpion Beasts had occupied the Green Dragon Trail of three months now!

Many people's homes were destroyed by them!

Many soldiers lost their lives in the valley!

Now they were watching the Snake Scorpion Beasts being destroyed by the lightning. This kind of relaxed feeling really made their blood boil!

Chu Tian continued to operate the lightning chains, continuously connecting even more Snake Scorpion Beasts. This kind of wild strength in Chu Tian's skilled hands was easily passing through Snake Scorpion Beasts one after the other.

They were instantly turned into burnt meat, being killed in waves!

When the Snake Scorpion Beasts had been half annihilated, the lightning being controlled by Chu Tian ran out of strength. Although there were still over half of the Snake Scorpion Beasts left, they were mostly all injured. They had been also shocked and were fleeing in all directions, not being able to fight back at all!

"This is great!" Mu Xuan gave three loud laughs, "Those beasts can't hold on, everyone kill with me!"

Mu Xuan pulled out his blade as he charged into the Snake Scorpion Beasts.

"Long live the successor!"

"Long live Qing State!"

The thousand heavy armour soldiers were quite strong. Wielding their giant shields and swords, they blocked the Snake Scorpion Beasts' path of escape as their large blades ruthlessly cut them down.

The violent poison of the Snake Scorpion Beasts had been negated and they weren't that strong themselves. Adding in the fact that they were attacked by the Four Directional Lightning Array, they had been completely defeated, losing all their battle strength. How could they still block the Qing State heavy armour soldiers?

"Kill!"

"We can't let a single one escape!"

Mu Xuan killed several Snake Scorpion Beasts, which could have already formed a small mountain. The Snake Scorpion Beasts repeatedly failed to break through and their numbers quickly decreased.

"Roar!"

At the most critical moment.

A special giant Snake Scorpion Beast came out of the crowd of countless other Snake Scorpion Beasts. This Snake Scorpion Beast was clearly different. Not only was it two times bigger than other Snake Scorpion Beasts, it was also covered in dark gold stripes.

Snake Scorpion Beast King!

A fairly strong level two demon beast!

The Snake Scorpion Beast King raised its tail high up and a green light shot at the heavy armoured soldiers, quickly dissolving the shields of these soldiers. It instantly killed several soldiers and tried to run through the gap.

The one who sent a sneak attack at Chen Bingyu should be this fellow.

Chu Tian had some remaining lightning in his hands, suddenly throwing at this Snake Scorpion Beast. Who knew that this Snake Scorpion Beast would react so quickly and use its pincers to snap the lightning in half.

Chu Tian was a little surprised, this Snake Scorpion Beast King was at least in the 6th Awakened Soul Layer!"

"Kill the beasts' leader!"

Several heavy armoured soldiers surrounded it, but all that was heard were several sounds that came from the breaking of their swords. The Snake Scorpion Beast King was not hurt at all. It just stretched out its giant scorpion pincers and all soldiers were snapped to pieces.

"This is bad!"

"It wants to escape!"

A cold glow flashed in Chen Bingyu's eyes, but before she could make a move, a figure moved forward faster than her, charging out in front of the Snake Scorpion Beast King. With a head of white hair and a grey robe, it was Mister Qiu.

"Beast, how can you escape!" Mister Qiu gathered vigorous spirit energy in his hands and he flew out like an arrow at the Snake Scorpion Beast King, "Die!"

There was no resistance at all.

The body of the Snake Scorpion Beast King that the blades could not hurt was actually torn apart!

This old man had a really high cultivation!

Mu Xuan was also shocked. Mister Qiu did not even release his source spirit and just used pure spirit energy to tear the Snake Scorpion Beast King in half. Just how high was his cultivation base?

Chen Bingyu also felt this was strange. This Mister Qiu's cultivation was even higher than her's and his knowledge was not inferior to Yun Tianhe. His cultivation was comparable to that of one of the marquises, so he was definitely not an ordinary person!

The Snake Scorpion Beast King had been killed.

The Snake Scorpion Beasts all collapsed.

After a final half hour of fighting, the Snake Scorpion Beasts were all killed. Even if they slipped through the net, they could not escape the two teams of horseback archers firing at them.

When the sun rose the next day.

The entire battlefield filled their eyes, being covered in Snake Scorpion Beast corpses. This was a truly moving scene!

"We've won!"

"Qing State has won!"

The soldiers all threw their helmets into the air.

This victory was very important for Qing State!

A general in charge of surveying the battlefield came to report, "Reporting to the successor, there were a total of three thousand two hundred and fifty six Snake Scorpion Beasts that were killed!"

Mu Xuan was surprised, "How many of our casualties do we have?"

The general truthfully replied, not being able to hide his excitement, "We only had around one hundred casualties!"

Killing over three thousand Snake Scorpion Beasts and only losing one hundred soldiers, this was a magnificent campaign. When the Green Wood Marquis personally led the troops to attack Green Dragon Trail several times, he had lost every time, leaving several tens of thousands of soldiers in the Green Dragon Trail!

Now Mu Xuan had used a thousand heavy armoured soldiers and a single night to exterminate all the Snake Scorpion Beasts while only suffering one hundred casualties. Even if there were a few left in the Green Dragon Trail, they would not pose a threat!

When the troops returned to the city.

Qing State completely exploded. People broke out in cheers as they all came onto the streets, personally welcoming this team that had saved Qing State!

"Long live the successor!"

Mu Xuan slowly led the troops forward, riding his horse while waving his hand. He looked heroic and full of prestige.

There were several tens of thousands of Qing State citizens all shouting Mu Xuan's name, letting Mu Xuan feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He did not need to rely on his father's shelter anymore, he had openly won the support of the citizens of Qing State.

Mu Xuan loudly shouted, "We have swept this evil pest and solved Qing State's troubles. I have decided to host a celebratory feast for the soldiers who participated and the entire city will celebrate for three days!"

The officers were all excited.

With such a large merit falling on their heads, how could the not be happy?

"Yi?" Mu Xuan looked around, "Where is mister Yu?"

"Reporting to the successor, mister Yu did not come into the city with us!"

Mu Xuan knit his brows. What was this?

This fellow left without a sound, he really was hiding his power and name!

Mu Xuan was very critical of mister Yu, but he was very aware of his talent as well and Mu Xuan was awed by it. After mister Yu left like this, it changed Mu Xuan's view of him and made him admire him even more!

Mu Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing he wasn't someone from the Southern Summer Country!

Otherwise with the glow of this talent, how could the other people of Southern Summer compete!

...

Qing State docks.

Chu Tian and Chen Bingyu were boarding their ship, preparing to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Mister Qiu quickly ran over with a chaotic mess of hair and eyes that were completely bloodshot, "Mister is a peerless talent, how could you be satisfied with running a business? This Qiu will recommend you to the Three Rulers, no, this old man will recommend you to the Southern Summer King. You'll be able to obtain heavy responsibilities in the Southern Summer Country and build a prosperous future!"

Recommendation to the Three Rulers?

Recommendation to the Southern Summer King?

Daring to say this meant that Mister Qiu had the ability to see the Three Rulers or the Southern King and he had the ability to make the Three Rulers and the Southern Summer King listen to him. What kind of power was this? Even the Eight Marquises did not dare talk like this!

"What small business, what big business?" Chu Tian stood on deck with his hand on the mast, looking down at Mister Qiu on the shore, "Businesses at the peak can change the world, you'll see it even if you don't believe it!"

"Mister, please wait!"

"Please reconsider this!"

If this person could be kept in the Southern Summer Country, it would be a blessing for the Southern Summer Country!

Chu Tian did not appreciate this kindness at all, "This one likes his freedom and doesn't like to be bound. I'll have to decline Old Qiu's good intentions!"

"Wait a minute!" Mister Qiu was turning around in circles in anxiety. Even if he couldn't keep him in the Southern Summer Country, he could at least get as much knowledge as possible. This was a very rare opportunity, "This old Qiu has wandered the world seeking knowledge and thought of myself as knowledgeable, but after meeting mister Yu, I finally realized I was just a frog in a well. If mister Yu does not mind, this old Qiu is willing to follow you. Even if I am a subordinate, I would be satisfied."

Mister Qiu's knowledge was not below Yun Tianhe's and if they could recruit this person, it would be a great help to the Yun Sect's research power. However, without knowing this person's origins or status, Chu Tian did not dare to recruit him.

Since he would remain in the Southern Summer Country, would there be a chance they wouldn't meet again?

It's better to keep him hanging for now!

Chu Tian shook his head and rejected him, "Mister Qiu is already an old scholar, how can you bow so easily?"

"In terms of becoming a master, age has no meaning!" Mister Qiu sincerely expressed himself, almost bowing down to Chu Tian, "Even becoming an apprentice is fine!"

"Ha, ha, I have never taken an apprentice. Mister Qiu is not young, why do you need to be so rigid?" Please return!" Chu Tian did not give Mister Qiu a chance as he turned to Chen Bingyu to say, "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

"The fresh mountain streams do not stop flowing, we will meet again!"

Mister Qiu stood on the dock in a daze. His white hair fluttered in the wind as he was filled with a sense of self-pity.

Heavens!

Why did you let me see such a monstrous talent in my lifetime?

Since you've let me meet this monstrous talent, why do you not give me a chance!

Mister Qiu finally realized in this moment that ignorance was a blessing because the more he knew, the more pain he would feel in the end.

If he had not met the immeasurable mister Yu, he would have studied for a few more years and would have been comparable to a large country's scholar. Now that he had been awakened, he realized how shallow his goal had been!

After years of relentless work, he was destined to end in regret!

Chu Tian stood on the deck with his hands crossed across his chest as he asked a question with a smile, "Can elder sister Bing guess Old Qiu's identity?"

"I can think of one possibility." Chen Bingyu slightly knit her brows, "But I'm not certain!"

Chen Bingyu had already suspected Mister Qiu's identity, but that person was very aloof, completely different from this Mister Qiu, so she could not be certain.

"It's no matter, we will meet again eventually."

Although he guessed that he would meet Mister Qiu soon.

Chu Tian never guessed that it would be sooner than he imagined.

When Chu Tian brought the Ultra Wave Crystal back to Central State, he immediately called people to refine the stone and to take it to the Yun Sect to research.

The Ultra Wave Crystal could turn the signal into a stable high frequency wave that could be sent over a thousand miles. The Ultra Wave Crystal also had grades, with a level one crystal having a max range of one thousand miles and a level two crystal having a max range of ten thousand miles.

The area of a small country like the Southern Summer Country was not big, so refining level two Ultra Wave Stones was enough. It would take around six-seven towers to go from Central State City to Imperial City. These broadcast towers could not be constructed in open area, but they could be constructed in cities along the way, making sure that it won't be destroyed in a disaster or by demon beasts.

A broadcast tower was a very strong signal boosting device.

If a broadcast tower were constructed in Central State City, it would have a coverage of ten thousand meters. For all normal broadcast towers, it would be able to cover the entire area with its signal.

Just like this.

So a single tower was placed in the center of Central State City, covering the entire Central State county with its signal. Not only would it be able to transmit sound, it would also be able to transmit pictures in the future, even being able to match the two together. This would definitely turn everyone's lives upside down.
