Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 132: Chapter 114: New Flying Shuttle Renovation Plan

The Great Elder just wouldn’t reveal the true effects of the Pills, only showing a strange expression.

All the powerful figures held their breath, eagerly waiting for more details, unable to resist urging him.

”Taking a Pill isn’t like having a baby, just give us the result already.”

This is just too much dawdling.

A group of old men looked at him with disdain.

The Great Elder smacked his lips, then suddenly used two fingers to grab another Pill from the air and popped it into his mouth.

”One isn’t enough to taste the effects, let me try another, don’t rush.”

Though they didn’t know the efficacy of the Pill, everyone knew the Great Elder’s character. This old fellow wouldn’t lift a finger unless there was something in it for him.

Then one of the old men couldn’t hold back and grabbed a Pill from mid-air, swallowing it. His expression suddenly changed.

”Everyone, take one and try it.”

With that, six more Pills disappeared from the air.

After just a moment, the eight people exchanged looks, gathering together, each with a complex expression, not quite joyous but not disappointed either.

”A day.”

”Also a day.”

”A day.”

The group exchanged strange looks as they reported the effects.

”Two days.”

The Great Elder agreed from the side, but his comment drew angry glares.

The effect after the Pills were finished was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The Ginseng King could indeed extend their lives.

The extension here was not like what Pills like the Nourishing Yuan Pill or such could provide, merely adjusting the body to extend life. That might work for ordinary people, but for Cultivators of their Realm, whose body was ever flawed?

What they sought was life beyond their destined lifespan.

Otherwise, why would such a powerful group of people stay in one place, constantly gnawing on Ginseng Roots and stewing Ginseng heads...

Yet, the effect was too poor. One Pill for one day, what good is a day?

”Why do I feel like this Pill is not a Life Extension Pill but for prolonging life temporarily.”

An elder looked particularly strange and speculated.

”Damn it, even if it’s for prolonging life, if I take a handful at once, that’s as good as extending life.”

Someone spoke discontentedly.

”How many can you swallow at once? I wonder if our approach is wrong. Don’t even mention using the Ginseng King, just the auxiliary herbs we used are costly, and for only a day, it’s hard to accept.”

Someone couldn’t help but speak up again.

The cost was so high, using various precious Spirit Medicines, but the outcome was such a big letdown. It’s not just him; everyone felt the same.

”Why not peel off the Ginseng King’s skin again and study it anew?”

Someone suggested, and the group all turned eagerly to the Ginseng King.

Luo Yuqi stared blankly at the pack of hungry wolf-like eyes.

What did they want to do?

Haven’t they all eaten? What more do they want from me?

The Great Elder chuckled, walking over with his hands tightly pinning Luo’s head below his own. The other seven quickly approached.

Soon, the entire island began to shake violently once again...

——

Blood Ganoderma, Dragon Blood Stone.

These two things that the Cultivator Realm covets hold no attraction for him.

As the Artifact Spirit said.

”You don’t follow the Cultivator system, these things are useless to you, better to throw a couple of Qi Fortune Child at you to be of use.”

So, this wretched place is even less useful than the State Prefecture of Yanbo, at least there, he could take advantage of a large group of cultivators.

Here, there are just a few stray cats.

Glass wasn’t impressed.

Neither was Han Yu.

But since You Li asked, and seeing she seemed to have a good relationship with their cousin, lending a hand was no issue.

”I can stay for two more days and help you look.”

Han Yu pondered and nodded, considering that two days would be enough for a quick journey.

If he stayed here too long, the time limit of the Pills won’t be forgiving, seven days without excuse, no matter what delayed him.

If there aren’t any big fools around, he’d be the unlucky one.

At these words, You Li was delighted, lightly laughing.

”Two days works too!”

——

”That’s not okay!”

Ou Mingdong seemed much more straightforward than Han Yu from Huangfu Liang’s perspective.

See how proper he is, not cheating while drinking.

At this moment, both reeked of alcohol, Ou Mingdong slightly tipsy, his face flushed, but his eyes remained clear.

He invited Huangfu Liang to enter the city together.

But Huangfu Liang shook his head like a rattle, insisting he wouldn’t go inside, mumbling repeatedly that it was not possible.

Having just received a beating inside, going back in and risking another one would be asking for trouble.

He declared that Ou Mingdong should go in himself and come look for him at daybreak.

——

Mo Family! Divine Strategy Institute!

In a haze, Cousin’s figure swayed, and he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, especially as his head wobbled, soon feeling a reverse flow of his blood.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a broad back in front of him, and at this moment, he was being carried on someone’s shoulder, taken out of his small yard.

Enemy attack!

His heart tightened, and he struggled to break free, his hands condensing True Essence as he was about to strike at the opponent’s spine.

Mo Xingzhi noticed the commotion behind him and was startled.

”You little brat, I’m your Sixth Uncle.”

Cousin paused his action, tilting his head to see Mo Xingzhi turning his face back, and finally, the heart that was suspended in relief.

”Sixth Uncle, why are you carrying me out so late at night without sleeping?”

”You still have the nerve to ask, I called you for ages, but you wouldn’t wake up. Everyone’s waiting for you.”

Before the words were finished, they had arrived at the Council Hall.

After Mo Xingzhi put him down, Cousin still wore a bewildered expression.

The entire Council Hall was already filled with people.

What’s going on here? Normally, people who sit here either bury themselves in cultivation or in researching Mechanical Technique and might not be seen once in a whole year.

The key is, it’s not his place to be involved in such occasions.

Mo Xingzhi lightly coughed a few times, looking at him as he spoke.

”Kid, do you remember the last time I talked to you about selling the Flying Shuttle?”

Of course, Cousin remembered this matter.

”Just sell it! To the Mo Family, this little thing is insignificant, not an important item.”

Cousin said casually with an indifferent expression.

With his words, a group of people sitting above wore strange expressions.

Did this brat say it’s a small thing?

Damn it, the group took the Flying Shuttle apart and reassembled it, and although they could make one to look the same, meeting Mo Xingzhi’s requirements was impossible.

If not for this, they wouldn’t be busy till late at night dragging this kid over.

Mo Yushu sat above, his face both awkward and with a faint trace of pride.

Here, Mo Xingzhi began to explain, ”Now selling the Flying Shuttle is just a drizzle, I got a huge business deal, if it succeeds, the profit will be enough for you guys to squander, and I wouldn’t have to run around anymore.”

This indeed aroused Cousin’s curiosity, for such a huge business to be mentioned by Sixth Uncle, how big could it be?

”The Imperial Court reached out to me, they fancy the Flying Shuttle, but they want us, the Mo Family, to redesign it to accommodate more people, the more, the better.”

There was no news of war breaking out in the mortal world!

Why would the Imperial Court want such a thing?

And it didn’t seem like such a big business.

”Fool, they don’t want just one, they want every State Prefecture equipped with it. Moreover, it’s to be used daily, with just a little thought, imagine how big this business is?”

Mo Xingzhi lightly patted Cousin on the back of the head, scolding with a laugh.

Even Cousin was astounded by the Imperial Court’s scope of plans, this was no small amount, but an astronomical figure.

The whole world is so vast, it’s unimaginable...

Yet, why would the Imperial Court think of creating such a thing, for convenient communication between State Prefectures? Or centralized control? Or...

In any case, the Imperial Court must be the biggest beneficiary, otherwise, they wouldn’t stir up such a large movement.

”How much will the Imperial Court give you?”

Cousin asked with an excited heartbeat.

Mo Xingzhi waved his hand grandly, ”They won’t give a penny, and I won’t take a penny either.”

Not to mention whether the Imperial Court has such money, even if they had, offering it would be detrimental; the Mo Family couldn’t possibly advance the funds either.

Both parties came up with a new cooperative plan, with the Mo Family and the Imperial Court jointly investing to construct the new Flying Shuttle. Once the Flying Shuttle goes into operation, no matter whether it’s cultivators or ordinary people taking the shuttle, the Mo Family collects twenty percent of the fare.

Mentioning this, Mo Xingzhi’s hand couldn’t help but tremble, this was twenty percent of the entire world’s.

No wonder the entire Mo Family’s high officials were all present, this business is grand.

”Then go ahead and do it!”

Cousin was also extremely excited after hearing it, but a remark made the faces of everyone present turn somewhat awkward.

If we could do it, why drag you here?

A group of people helplessly turned their gaze to Mo Yushu.

Mo Yushu coughed awkwardly a few times, then solemnly said, ”You’ve been too idle lately, this matter will be handed over to you to handle.”

The others left contented while Cousin remained, grimacing bitterly.

”Don’t pull such a long face, if this task is successful, the Mo Family you take over in the future will only prosper further.”

Mo Xingzhi patted Cousin’s shoulder from behind, leaning in to whisper.

”Let me tell you a secret, the new Flying Shuttle collects fares not in Silver Coins, only in equivalent Spirit Stones.”

Cousin’s face turned with a visible shock.
