“Senior Brother Ding, you are back.”
“Senior Brother Ding, you are here. The outside is full of rumors. Will you really want to fight for Li Yiruo against Mu Tianyang?”
Two of them came to Ding Hao and talked about this event. They all had a look of concern on their faces. They came to know today that Ding Hao had encountered so many things in the trial.
Ding Hao shook his head and smiled. “It is true. Don’t mention it again. You are so excited, what happened?”
Zhang Fan and Wang Xiaoqi looked at each other and the latter smiled and said, “I am going to talk about it with you. Today, Xiaofan and I did a small business and we bought a building in the business district of the third ladder area…”
“A building?” Ding Hao felt surprised.
“Yeah, that is the Tianli Attic. Since the last time you showed your great magic power to defeat that group of shit disciples headed by Duan Tianli, the situation in the Tianli Attic is becoming worse day by day. It hardly can afford to continue its business so that it wants to make an inventory and transfer its business. I discussed it with Xiaofan and accepted its business.” Wang Xiaoqi smiled.
“Actually, I don’t understand anything. It’s Xiaoqi who feels that such a business is good… The money is paid by Xiaoqi, one million gold. Xiaoqi said that the decision-making power of the future would be shared by all of us.” Zhang Fan scratched the back of his head. To be honest, obviously this was none of Zhang Fan’s business and he was just following Wang Xiaoqi.
Ding Hao looked down and thought for a while, and suddenly he felt that this was an opportunity.
A developing road for the strong, in addition to his talent, involved four factors: money, partner, method, and status.
“Money” referred to wealth. Money paved the developing road. It could help the strong obtain a variety of cultivation sources such as elixir and mysterious things, and develop himself before others.
“Partner” referred to good friends. They were the stong’s greatest support for his cultivation and they gave him confidence and strength.
“Method” meant effective tactics and secrets for cultivation. If at each stage of the Martial Arts Realms, the strong could find out the most effective tactics and secrets at such stage, undoubtedly, he could lay a solid foundation for his martial arts development.
“Status” meant position. Generally, disciples of masters or in great sects would have a more smooth developing road for cultivation, since more powerful support was behind them, while those poverty-struck people even did not have enough to eat, how could they carry out cultivation?
As a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Ding Hao was carrying out martial arts training with the method in Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture and top combat skills of other Human Rank. He was good in respects of Method and Status, but he was born in the slum. Money was his shortboard. Just imagine if Ding Hao was rich enough to conduct cultivation with spinel all the time, his Qi strength would be improved at a higher speed.
So Ding Hao tried to make up for his short boards.
Doing business might be a not bad idea.
After all the Saber Master and the Sword Master, two old monsters were behind him. Furthermore, if he made appropriate use of rich knowledge of elixir and weapon casting, he would obtain plenty of money.
Noticing Ding Hao without any expression, Wang Xiaoqi said hurriedly, “Actually, I should have discussed it with you, but Zhang Fan and I failed to find you, and we were worried that the attic would be taken by others, so, we … In fact, I don’t have much interest in the martial arts training, and I was forced by my father to enter the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and I like to do business. Haha!”
Ding Hao smiled. “It is you who pay for the Tianli Attic, why should you discuss it with me? I have not much money to do the purchase with you.” Then, he waved and interrupted Wang Xiaoqi, who tried to talk on. “I know what you want to say, however, no merit, no gain. I won’t be involved in the management of the Tianli Attic. But I have interest in consigning something for sale in the Tianli Attic.”
Wang Xiaoqi noticed Ding Hao’s firm attitude. He knew that Ding Hao would not be convinced for a while, and he had to make plans slowly. However, he could have a good relationship with Ding Hao. He was curious. “What is it to be consigned for sale?”
Ding Hao smiled mysteriously and broke at the critical moment. “You will get to know.”
Wang Xiaoqi no longer asked, and he thought for a while and said, “The name of the Tianli Attic does not sound good and it also has a bad reputation. Senior Brother Ding, would you please give a new name to it?”
“What business will you do?” Ding Hao asked.
“Sabers, swords, spiritual herbs and beasts’ fur … all kinds of things. Basically what we are going to do is to do with martial artists. After all here is the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.” Wang Xiaoqi told his business plan in detail. He was very confident. It could be seen that he wanted to do business not on the spur of the moment, but he took it into account carefully and seriously.
Ding Hao thought for a while, and a strange expression showed up in his face. He said, “It can be named as Heavenly World.”
“Heavenly World?” Wang Xiaoqi repeatedly murmured for a moment, laughing and clapping. “Yes, Heavenly World, haha, what we buy and sell here are only available in heaven and rare in the world. Hahaha, this name is good.”
The hunter boy Zhang Fan looked at two people with a cheerful expression. He suddenly remembered one thing and said, “Yes, tomorrow is the last day of the month. It is said that the sect will conduct a test to test disciples’ cultivation progress in the past month. We have to make a good preparation for it.”
“Hehe, yesterday I just broke through the Two-apertured Martial Disciple Realm. I asked other disciples about it and such achievement is absolutely qualified. I don’t need to worry about the test,” Wang Xiaoqi said with a grin.
Ding Hao did not worry about him. Wang Xiaoqi’s talent was not bad and he was already in the half step of the One-apertured Martial Disciples Realm when he was admitted to the sect. It took him one month to be promoted by a Small half realm. It could be said that his achievement was average. His ambition was not to receive martial arts training so that he should not be blamed.
Ding Hao’s eyes fell on Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan scratched the back of his head with a guilty conscience and blushed and said, “I … I just made the Qi seed become humid and full and haven’t gotten the chance to break through Shaoyin First Channel of Hand. Let alone developing the apertures. I don’t know whether I will be eliminated or not.”
The realm of full Qi Seed?
With this strength, he would be the last one of more than 200 registered disciples in the Eastern Academy of the Blue Shirts?
However, considering that Zhang Fan’s meridian qualification, his physical attributes, and talent were too poor, so with such progress, he was doing quite well. With his divine firing skills and physical strength, he could be compared with disciples in the One-apertured Martial Disciples Realm.
“Do not worry, tomorrow is just a test, and nobody will be eliminated. Conduct energetic cultivation. After one year, I believe that you will be able to make a blockbuster.” Ding Hao comforted him.
Zhang Fan nodded firmly. “Yes. I will work harder. For my dad, my mom, grandpa, grandma, and my brother, and the whole hunter village, I should stay in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect at any cost.”
What he said was resolute and decisive with an unshakable will.
Talking for a while, three of them made an appointment for dinner. Then they went back to their rooms for cultivation respectively.
One night without words.
