Chapter 879 - Trade

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Do Mingyan pondered over Li Yunmu’s words, but even after thinking them through he could not think of one thing which the four clans didn’t have but the Ground Clan had. Madam was the same, so she excitedly looked at everyone to hear what exactly was it that the four great clans did not have.

Rat, who was sitting on the side, creased his brows and after some time said suddenly, “Could it be power of belief?”

When he dropped those words, the entire room turned silent.

Madam’s face hidden behind the veil froze. Could it be that lord ancestor was thinking of using the power of belief to trade with the four great clans?

Li Yunmu nodded, then continued, “Precisely, it is something which the four clans lack the most. They have a deep background and numerous gods. When they were in power, each clan was only able to obtain two portions of power of belief.

“Our Ground Clan’s foundation is weak. Although we have been assigned resource lands, we can only dispatch people to collect resources after some time. That’s why the best option is to use the power of belief to trade with the four great clans.”

“Lord ancestor, this power of belief is extremely precious. If you use so much power of belief to trade with the four great clans, our losses will be enormous,” Do Mingyan said hastily with a hidden scheme in his heart. If Li Yunmu used the remaining power of belief to trade with the four great clans, he and Madam would not be able to become gods.

In any case, the resource lands were already divided, so as long as they sent people to guard and protect them, they could continue using them. But the power of belief supplied by god father every year was only five portions. Speaking of which, although the four great clans had been in power for a longer time, even they couldn’t support the numerous descendants of the Ground Clan. If the up and coming youngsters became half gods, then the five portions would be far from sufficient.

Li Yunmu looked at everyone sitting underneath and being against it and smiled. He wasn’t an idiot. If he really used the power of belief to exchange for resources from the four great clans, the four clans would probably die from excitement.

Everyone calmed down and waited for him to speak again.

“I am not really going to use power of belief to exchange with the four great clans, but use the power of belief to hand over their resources. You all should understand that the only place of entertainment in Asura City was the colosseum. Apart from that, the only thing to do in the clans is cultivation.

“Now that I have established the Ground Clan, this colosseum will naturally become history. WIthout it, Asura’s only source of entertainment will also vanish. So we have to create some sort of event. Naturally, the new sources of entertainment wouldn’t be something simple like a colosseum. I want to add some extra things.

“As for what these entertainments which I was to create will be, I’ll write them down one by one. Then you can all look them over by yourselves. Before I leave, I will hand over your tasks to Rat, then Rat and you all can discuss them. Madam, you will be responsible for the spinning and weaving unit, as for Do Mingyan, you will be responsible for trade.”

“Alright, you all can leave. Rat, you stay behind.”

Li Yunmu waved his hand at everyone. Jia Luo, whose mind was focused on forging, was the first one to leave. Old Bastard followed after him, while Madam and Do Mingyan, who seemed to have their heads in the clouds, left as well.

Rat watched everyone leave, then got up and knelt on the ground.

“Lord, do you really believe that Madam and Do Mingyan can be relied upon?”

Li Yunmu lowered his head and looked at Rat’s worried expression. He clearly understood what Rat was worried about.

“You don’t need to worry,” he said slowly. “Although Madam and Do Mingyan are branch family descendants of the four great clans and are half god experts, due to my words in that house, the four great clans consider them traitors.

“Therefore, worry is needless in this matter. You should pay a lot of attention to the happenings in the four great clans instead. After I leave, they will definitely make a move against the Ground Clan. Before I return, you need to protect the Ground Clan. Naturally, you don’t need to feel excessive pressure. I will leave behind some tricks, so the four clans will have their hands full with their own affairs.”

After he said that, a cultivation relaying globe appeared in Li Yunmu’s hand. It didn’t contain any martial skill, but rather his plan for the future development of the Ground Clan.

Rat stood up and walked to Li Yunmu’s side at a relaxed pace. After receiving the cultivation relaying globe, he placed it between his eyebrows. Once it came in contact with his forehead, the globe instantly disappeared.

When Rat opened his eyes again, a hint of excitement along with passion was clear in them together. After retreating a few steps, he knelt on the ground and respectfully said, “Lord, you really are a genius.”

After receiving the cultivation relaying globe, new information appeared in Rat’s mind. It included how to create a city of metal after the lower city was torn down. There were also some plans about spinning and weaving unit, about how to create ordinary clothes, and how to create mystical clothes which could absorb the energy of the world.

The mystical cloth wouldn’t be regarded as anything in the eyes of the four great clans. As long as the clansmen were able to excite their bloodline, their ability to absorb energy would reach a terrifying level.

But the people of the Ground Clan had motley bloodline, so when they practiced martial skills, their ability to absorb the energy of the world was much lower compared to that of the four great clans. The mystical cloth could allow the descendants of the Ground Clan to absorb the energy at a pace which was comparable to that of the four great clans.

Such terrifying efficacy...

The mystical cloth would become one of the foundations of Ground Clan. With it, the descendants of the Ground Clan would rise even quicker. If a man was given a fish, he could eat for a day, but if he was taught to fish, he could eat for the rest of his life. With the mystical cloth, the Ground Clan could produce even better cultivation inheritances. As long as some time passed, the effects of it would lead to a great transformation.

Apart from that, there was alsol some information regarding the trading department, which could even reinforce the dependency of the four great clans on the Ground Clan, thus resulting in even more resources.

“Rise up, keep this portion of power of belief with you. WIth it, the four great clans will definitely move according to your plan. If they become restless, you can go and find Ashbi. Although he stands on the side of the four great clans, before news of my death comes, he will still be somewhat afraid.”

As Li Yunmu said that, he passed on two balls of power of belief, which appeared out of nowhere in his hand. “The other portion is for Madam and Do Mingyan. If you see that they are loyal, you can split it among them so they can become gods. With four gods, the deterrence factor will increase.”

Rat collected the power of belief with terror in his heart. He was an intelligent person, but he could see that ancestor had already arranged all matters, which made him feel even more suspicious in his heart. If the sixth ancestor had some trump card, he wouldn’t think of all such things beforehand. If not for being forced by the four great clans, ancestor wouldn’t need to leave Asura City.

Since the four great clans had already done it, Rat wouldn’t allow them to just have their way.

“Ancestor, be a little careful while taking the trip to the resource lands. The Ground Clan has me, and as long as I exist, I won’t allow the four great clans to pollute the Ground Clan.
