Light Cultivation
Eps. 128 — Travel Started
Jian Chen immediately went to the central Association place where he and Miou Lin had already made arrangements to meet there, the girl was already waiting for him at one of the tables.
"Young Master Jian, you're getting stronger..." Miou Lin smiled faintly when he saw the radiance of Jian Chen's aura that was stronger than the last met.
"Miss Miou is too complimentary, I only practice often." Jian Chen chuckled softly then sat down before Miou Lin, in the middle of the second table there was food available to entertain Jian Chen.
"Maap for having to make Young Master Jian wait, lately the Association is experiencing a very rapid development, I barely have time even to sleep though..."
As Jian Chen returned to give the other pill recipes, the Association progressed again by tenfold. The association of the Miou clan developed far from the initial estimates especially in the field of alchemy.
Now in addition to the Lightning Dragon Province and its neighboring provinces there are hundreds of branches in various provinces, precisely 8 provinces have been planted by the Miou Clan Association and that includes the Fire Dragon Province.
The Miou clan had already not occupied the fifth clan anymore in the Lightning Dragon Province but had risen to the fourth level and could have been steadily increasing.
With his wealth and influence no one would dare to mess with the Miou clan in Lightning Dragon Province, even the Liu clan would have to think twice about making him an enemy.
Miou Lin understood this development was due to the teenage boy in front of him, therefore Miou Fan as the leader of the Miou clan respected Jian Chen with almost exact height towards the other clan officials.
Jian Chen without further ado or drinking tea first directly told him his purpose here by reporting what he found.
Starting from him who will go to other provinces and also about the turmoil of the capital, especially the Liu clan who has ambitions to overthrow the Chu clan who served as provincial leaders.
Miou Lin's expression ficklely heard him before sighing while massaging her painful head.
"I did not expect the Liu clan to have this ambition, the four great clans were already under his control and if the situation continued like this then it was only a matter of time that the war would take place..."
Miou Lin was confident that the Miou clan would not be involved in the conflict but after this war ended there would be reciprocity for his clan especially if the Liu clan became the provincial leader.
Broadly speaking, the Miou clan actually supported the Chu clan government, but the relationship was not until they had to follow the clan's conflict, let alone help the war.
The war of the Jian Clan was involved because Jian Chen had directly considered the Miou clan itself, not to mention that their opponent was a bad person who had to be fought.
'This matter I should think about later with the clan Chief and the other Elders...' Miou Lin shook his head slowly. However, his own way of thinking is limited, it requires a long discussion to find a solution to the problem.
"Then what about your trip Young Master Jian, should we hire a swordsman to be with you?"
"That's not necessary, I'd rather be alone when traveling. I only ask that when I'm already in another province, Miss Lin should give the latest news about the situation in the capital..."
Clearly because the Miou clan Association had already spread everywhere he would stop first in every branch found.
Jian Chen would give the news of his location and later Miou Lin would send a counter letter containing the development of his provincial situation.
Jian Chen's request was very simple so Miou Lin could definitely fulfill it.
"Brother Jian, since your journey is long and may be months, how about the Association's earnings on your stock if we're long?"
At least Miou Lin or his men would give a Space Ring containing millions of gold coins to Jian Chen every month.
Although it looks small but if in the form of gold coins, five percent of Jian Chen's shares now have produced 50 million gold coins per month.
Since the Association's income had already increased tenfold then it was no wonder Jian Chen's income had also increased. If calculated then that much money was the income of half a year of the Jian clan as a whole.
Jian Chen said about this income he wanted to give his income to his family. Jian Ya could help to give the money to Jian Wu.
"The association can cut my money when my family shop at the Association store, I hope you guys free everything including pills or other resources."
Miou Lin chuckled softly at this, "Young Master Jian, this request of yours was granted long ago just as we shook hands to cooperate. The Young Master's family gets free amenities, not just resources, clothing, weapons, lodging, or anything else the Association owns all of us are free for your family..."
Of course it was secretive, the Association told Jian Wu or Jian Ran not to talk about his free money with the others.
The association reasoned that they got free service all because they were customers to a million Association, this made Jian Wu and Jian Ran happy not to play because they felt his family was lucky.
Jian Chen heard it quite happily, he did not forget to thank the kindness of the Association.
As there was nothing more to talk about Jian Chen saying goodbye, he had to prepare for his departure tomorrow.
***
Jian Chen rode a golden eagle demon with Miou Lin and one of the eagle guards, the three headed for a ship harbor on the edge of the Lightning Dragon Province.
Since each province was separated by a vast sea, one had to board a ship to pass through it.
The golden eagle demon might be able to pass between provinces but the Fire Dragon Province made a rule that eagles or other flying demons should not be used as transportation through the province.
Therefore, when someone who wants to travel outside their province must board a ship, at least need 2 to 3 days to get to the nearest province.
Since Jian Chen was going to the Earth Dragon Province then he had to pass through one province before going there.
Soon after Jian Chen reached the harbor, he got down from the golden eagle then saw the seaport situation that looked deserted and there were only 4 large ships docked.
The port that Jian Chen came to was a big port in the province so even though there were dozens of people here it could be said to be quiet. If the port is crowded then the number may be thousands more.
"Young Master Jian, then we will leave. I hope your journey is easy and safe..."
Miou Lin simply escorted Jian Chen to the port as his honor to Jian Chen, after it was done he and his subordinates immediately went up the golden eagle again.
Jian Chen then walked over to one of the large ships, watching as there were customers, the shipkeeper enthusiastically pleased and welcomed him.
"Let's Young Master, you are right to choose this ship as a travel companion. Here we have good and convenient service, one hundred percent do not disappoint customers."
Jian Chen did not say much then gave one gold coin to the caretaker, other than paying for his trip the coin was also enough for Jian Chen to rent a special room which was expensive and had more service.
The steward of the ship was happier to see the young man turn out to be a rich man, he then led him and showed him the place to his best rest for the customer.
