Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 228: Prideful Bones (1/2)
The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was located near the south of Long Sang Country, where Liaoye Country and Empty Mountain intersected
The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was quite vast Most of it ithin the borders of Long Sang Country, but there was a small bit of it that extended into Liaoye Country and E the three countries Because the mountain contained many peaks, each of them tall and pointy like the tips of swords, it had been named the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain
Lin Chenyuan never could have expected that Su Chen would actually ask for the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain
Upon hearing Su Chen’s request, Lin Chenyuan was dazed
Was the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain valuable?
Of course it was valuable It was quite a vast region
Was the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain not valuable? It really wasn’t that valuable
Even though the territory was large, the resources there were only average, and even fewer citizens lived there Most of the lifeforms present were Demonic Beasts If you were to round up all these Demonic Beasts, they would be soy that would be necessary to do so was absolutely not worth it from a business standpoint!
However, Su Chen had sohts on this piece of land
What did he want this piece of land for?
Lin Chenyuan couldn’t figure it out
The problem with the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was not one of how much it orth but of authority
Su Chen wanted this e basically to turn it into his own territory, his own place!
A personal territory!
This was a much more serious problee No matter how barren it was, it was still thousands of square kilometers in size No ion, it was still Long Sang Country territory No Bloodline nobility Clan possessed such a vast ah, this h to start a small country with
Why would Su Chen want a place like that?
Su Chen answered directly, “I want to start and establishdown my cultivation techniques!”
Lin Chenyuan immediately remembered the words Su Chen had just spoken He somewhat understood and said, “You want to establish a sect there so that you can begin accepting disciples?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Lin Chenyuan let out a sigh upon understanding Su Chen’s intentions
You couldn’t blaht process
The Seven Kingdohout, but under the current bloodline system, these sects had very little to inherit Most sects just hung around the s Occasionally, there would be a few that were established in the wilderness, but no one ever seemed to show any interest in them
Under such circumstances, it was no surprise that everyone looked down on the i a new business The well-established businesses would not believe that this new business would have any effect on the otten to their current size, no one would have paid thes
Su Chen wanted to start a sect in the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range?
That was acceptable
It was just that he had asked for a bit too iven the contributions Su Chen had made so far, and with Lin Chenyuan’s support, the Eree to such a request
The most important factor was that this was directly related to the “ree to Even those large Bloodline nobility Clans probably would have agreed Otherwise, if they didn’t agree, wouldn’t they be basically forcing Su Chen to continue to publish any future breakthroughs he made on the Dreamrealm?
Since Su Chen had already built the stairs for theo down those stairs At the very least, Lin Chenyuan understood this principle
“I will definitely give you my full support in this matter, but the problem is that the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain is partly located in between Liaoye Country and Empty Mountain”
“I want all of it!” Su Chen didn’t hesitate
If he didn’t ht believe that he was easy to dismiss
Because of the presence of external enedoms were on somewhat peaceful terms It wasn’t impossible for them to discuss the matter of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain After all, there was no concept of “not backing down an inch” yet Exchanging a piece of desolate territory for the support of powerful Bloodline nobility Clans was quite a common occurrence Otherwise, where could the feudal system have come from? This world did not yet have an official process for dividing land for nobles, but under circu out some unimportant territory to the nobles for them to use was not a problem
Of course, this was not a problem for the country However, Su Chen’s decision to do it on his own ardless, the difficult problem had already been posed All that remained was to see how Lin Chenyuan would resolve it
That evening, Lin Chenyuan prepared an abundant feast for Su Chen Of course, a few important individuals had also been invited
“Sir Su, this is the Head Minister of Public Works, Guo Siyang”
An ancient, grizzled man walked over as Lin Chenyuan introduced him
Lin Chenyuan was the host, and Su Chen was the uest As such, Lin Chenyuan personally accompanied Su Chen and introduced his, Minister of Public Works Guo,” Su Chen politely bowed and said
The old man in front of hily for dealing with Su Chen, and he had been responsible for putting pressure on Lin Wenjun Noever, he had appeared here
Indeed, Su Chen’s obvious alliance had caused some shi+fts in the domestic situation at houn to shi+ft their allegiances
Of course, it was still too early to say that they supported Lin Wenjun at this moment That would depend on what happened next
