Chapter 129: The Future 【Training Base】 (2/2)

“Hahaha, I’ve found it!”

Wang Chong was extremely delighted.

“Shen Hai and Meng Long, clear this region. I want to build a training field here. From now on, I’ll be cultivating here.”

Shen Hai and Meng Long glanced at each other in bewilderment. They couldn’t understand why the young master was so excited.

Other than the Origin Energy here being slightly denser than the other regions, they couldn’t feel anything else. Was this what their young master was looking for?

The both of them were perplexed.

But even so, they wouldn’t disobey Wang Chong’s orders.

“Yes, young master!”

Drawing their swords, they began clearing the thorns and trees in the surroundings, creating an empty training field for Wang Chong at the peak of the mountain.

“By the time this training field is cleared, you two will understand why I chose this location.”

Staring at the back of the duo, Wang Chong smiled.

Perhaps it was because of the unique greenery, or due to a special substance in the soil, the spiritual energy in the spirit vein was clogged up. Thus, one could only sense less than a single percent of it.

Shen Hai and Meng Long might carry doubts toward Wang Chong’s decision at this moment, but by the time they shaved a layer of soil off the surface of the mountain peak, they wouldn’t be thinking so.

Several hours later, a simple mountaintop ‘mini training field’ had been cleared, and seated in the center of this training field was Wang Chong, who was in the midst of cultivating Might of the Barbaric God. Overwhelming Origin Energy far greater than that of the other parts of the mountain forest gushed in from beneath his feet and his surroundings.

Both his Might of the Barbaric God and Dragon Bone Art would surely improve swiftly if he were to cultivate here.

“If I recall correctly, this place isn’t bought by anyone yet!”

As Wang Chong cultivated, he thought over this matter silently.

At this moment, no one should have discovered this spirit vein which took him eight to nine days to locate and reach.

But Wang Chong knew that if he were to frequent this place, it wouldn’t be long before someone noticed this place.

——This was how the world worked. If you didn’t notice this location, nothing would happen. But if you did, many people would come swarming here, hoping to get a slice of the pie.

The first step to find this precious spirit vein was a success, and the next one should be to secure the location. Given the importance of the second step, Wang Chong had to give it more thoughts.

“Shen Hai, if I recall correctly, this should be considered as a part of the barren mountains and it isn’t bought yet. Do you still remember where we are? Later on, make a trip to the Court of Judicial Review and buy down this location along with the surrounding mountain range.”

Wang Chong suddenly said.

“Ah!”

Hearing Wang Chong’s words, Shen Hai and Meng Long were taken aback.

In Great Tang empire, it was possible for one to purchase barren mountains. In fact, if one wished to, one could buy all of the barren mountains in the empire.

But of course, you had to have the money for it first.

Buying a mountain had always been expensive, needless to say, an entire mountain range. It was one thing if what one wanted to buy was a mine with a huge deposit of top quality ores, but if the mountain was barren, then it would mean a huge loss.

The fees of buying a mountain range were so great than even the typical affluent clan wouldn’t dare to dump money into it freely.

“Young master, this mountain range isn’t small. It will be a huge sum if you were to buy the entire area!”

“Indeed, young master! It would cost a minimum of eighty thousand gold taels to do so! Furthermore, it’s only a thirty year lease.”

Shen Hai and Meng Long tried to persuade him otherwise.

In their view, there was nothing of value in this mountain range and it wasn’t worth this sum of money. On top of that, the empire had imposed a time limit on one’s ownership after purchase.

If it was a mine, one should dig it out as soon as possible. How much one could dig out was one’s matter, and even if one were to end up making a loss, one couldn’t blame anyone for it. Thirty years later, one would have to purchase this land once again, and what’s worse was that it was likely that the price would have inflated then.

“Young master, is there an ore deposit below?”

Shen Hai asked carefully. After much contemplation, this was the only reason he could think of.

“Hehehe, this isn’t it.”

Wang Chong shook his head. He pointed a finger at the ground and smiled.

“It’s something even more valuable than an ore deposit!”

If Wang Chong wanted to grasp his destiny and change the fate of Great Tang and the world, he had to build up his own influence.

This was the reason why Wang Chong entrusted his little uncle, Wang Mi, to look for several formidable Imperial Army instructors for him.

This was an extremely vague plan that he hadn’t built on yet, but just a moment ago, Wang Chong suddenly realized where he should station his own ‘training base’ at.

By the time little uncle brought those Imperial Army instructors over, the land above this spirit vein would serve as an ideal training base. With this spirit vein, all he had to do afterward was to recruit a bunch of loyal and reliable people, and in the shortest time possible, he would be able to produce batch after batch of experts.

Batch after batch of loyal subordinates that he would be able to utilize.

——Just like the army he commanded in his previous life!

This would be his future ‘training base’!
