828 Everything Goes Well (1/2)

Jiang Yi was not very good at these schemes so he was happy to be the hands-off leader. Feng Luan had a very good view of the overall situation. Qian Wanguan had a lot of ingenious ideas and very good as executing them. With them cooperating, Jiang Yi just needed to follow the plan in the end. When they managed to escape the Sky Thunder Island back then, they followed the plan that was made by the two, which proved to be very successful.

While he tried his best to cultivate the essence force to improve his essence force as much as possible, he was also attempting to fuse the last dao pattern, and refine the Fire Cloud Armor to strengthen the power of Thunder Fire Divine Shield. He no longer comprehended the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno sorcery art, as it was impossible to increase its power in a short time. Even if he was able to refine the Heaven Fire, it was far weaker than the Thunder Fire. The effort was pointless. He still had a lot of Thunder Fire left, which was sufficient for dozens of battles.

Also, he began to study Divine Voice Heaven Skill, which was extremely powerful when using with the soul swords. Right now, he had more than 60 soul swords and would have dozens more after these eight months. If he could improve the Divine Voice Heaven Skill, he would probably be able to kill any ordinary upper-tier Heaven Monarchs.

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged in the Thearch Palace, constantly extracted the power of star spheres, and injected into the Fire Cloud Armor to let the power of star spheres nurture the Fire Cloud Armor. He already gave up on Mother Earth Armor and Primal Chaos Iron Ruler. He also consulted Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian about it. It was very likely that Lei Qiyan secretly did something to it. For example, when he erased the spiritual imprint, he could have attacked the Artifact Spirit, making it hide in the weapon. Anyway, Jiang Yi couldn't detect the presence of the Artifact Spirit at all.

Actually, many people knew about this kind of tricks. After the Artifact Spirit was damaged, it would take more than eight years to recover and couldn't be captured. If the Artifact Spirit was not detected, how could one establish the soul-spirit connections? A pseudo-divine artifact that was not connected to Jiang Yi's soul spirit was useless to him. Moreover, his most powerful attack did not rely on pseudo-divine artifacts.

The only thing that made him regrettable was the Sky-Turning Cauldron. If it could be repaired, its power might be increased by a lot. However, there was only one master who knew how to refine artifacts in the Gods Bestow Tribe, who was in the Huangfu Clan. If Jiang Yi went to the Huangfu Clan on his own, that master would probably just ignore him. However, it was even more impossible for Huangfu Taotian to return to the Huangfu Clan.

As Jiang Yi devoted all his effort into cultivation, the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association continued to grow. As the two remaining clans joined the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, their alliance with the Situ Clan was further strengthened. Everything was all the right track, and Qian Wanguan and Situ Yinian's wedding was placed on the agenda.

Situ Ao had no choice but to be so hasty.

If he didn't quickly marry his baby girl to Qian Wanguan, the other clans would do so. A son-in-law like him was comparable to a gold mine. For the very least, the other seven clans at least made hundreds of billions of celestial stones—all thanks to Qian Wanguan.

Though hundreds of billions of celestial stones weren't much, they gave the group hope. If the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association continued to develop at this rate, perhaps, it would be able to overthrow the rule of the Nine Thearchs of the East Imperial Continent with its greater influence and power. At least, the thirteen clans knew all the information on the East Imperial Continent with the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, which was way better than the past.

All the actions of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association were confidential. Apart from the thirteen clans, outsiders never heard of it. This was also the reason that Qian Wanguan was able to secretly cultivated ten peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. A lot of things were kept confidential and were known to very few people.

The Soaring Dragon Merchant Association didn't do any business with the people on the East Imperial Continent directly. Instead, it bought off a clan on the East Imperial Continent. They did trade using the name of this clan. Besides, the contact was one-way, eliminating all the possibility of being investigated and exposed.

This whole node model gave the thirteen clans hope. Even though the Lei Clan, the Nangong Clan, and the Lu Clan appeared tough on their stands, deep down, they supported the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association and would love to become a member. However, Qian Wanguan didn't give them any chance and took no initiative to invite them. Therefore, the three clans couldn't be so shameless and ask to join it.

The marriage of Situ Yinian and Qian Wanguan was not surprising to everyone. All the young masters and young mistresses saw Qian Wanguan's obsession with Situ Yinian. However, when discussing the wedding date, Qian Wanguan gave an unexpected answer to Situ Ao.

Qian Wanguan told him that how could he marry now if he had yet to build his career?
