Chapter 166: Beginning of the trial
“Elder sister Caidie is truly generous, she really is the Divine Wind Marquis’ daughter!”
Meng Yingying pulled out two jade bottles from the little box and continued to sing out praises.Pills that used level two Elixirs to refine were very valuable and couldn’t necessarily be bought even if one had money.
“Elder sister and I now have hope to break through the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer!”
Meng Qingwu looked at Chu Tian with a strange expression, “This young miss Feng seems quite familiar with you, she doesn’t just look like an acquaintance.”
Meng Yingying felt something was wrong when she heard this.
How could this be allowed!
She placed the jade bottle back in and slapped the cover back on.Her hands were on her hips as she said, “Speaking so frankly and not denying a gift at all.What is your relationship!”
The two sisters were working together!
Chu Tian revealed a helpless look, “Do you need to worry about this?”
“Nonsense!”Meng Yingying said in an unreasonable manner, “If we’re not strict on you, who knows how many girls you will kidnap!”
Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?
Chu Tian honestly told them everything.
Meng Yingying finally understood everything, “No wonder the Divine Wind Marquis would appear to save us after the Ye Family surrounded South Sky City!Elder sister Feng Caidie seems like a very good person!She is the Divine Wind Marquis’ daughter and has a respected and aloof status, you aren’t allowed to have any ideas or bully her, do you understand!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t have any ideas about her!”
Meng Yingying winked at her sister and revealed a triumphant smile.
When did this stinking little girl become a small tiger?
She’s really going against the heavens!
What a joke, when does an upstanding person like me need to have ideas about others?Normally it’s others who have ideas about me, alright?
“Back on topic, you need to be careful in the Central State Trials.”Meng Qingwu had already heard rumours of the Central State tower before, so she knew just how important the Central State Trials were for people, “Because of you, the Chu, Luo, and Ye Family juniors have lost the chance to participate, so they will definitely hold a grudge against you for this.Other than the top six for the Central State Great Games, the Central State Four Young Masters will be participating as well.Although the Yun Family is supporting you, with just the power of the Purple Lightning Young Master, you cannot stop the others.”
Of the Four Young Masters, the Purple Lightning Young Master was ranked fourth.
When Yun Yao broke through to the 4th Awakened Soul Layer and after she obtained the Soul Contracting Thunder Spirit Bead, her strength was about the same as Ye Tianlang’s.She was even not that far from Luo Xianglong, but that was just compared to those two.
It would be hopeless for her to compete with Chu Xinghe.The strength of the head of the Four Young Masters was greater than the sum of the other three’s.
The Heavenly Sword Young Master, the Dragon Tiger Young Master, and the Heavenly Wolf Young Master, if these three Illustrious Soul experts attacked Chu Tian at the same time, could he even finish the trial?
Meng Qingwu continued to remind, “You can’t look down on the Central State Four Great Families.These families have existed in Central State City for two-three hundred years now.Even if they are afraid of the Divine Wind Marquis and don’t dare to move against you, that does not mean that they will not try to assassinate you.”
“Assassinate?If they had the skills, I would have already lost my head and there would be no need to wait until now!”Chu Tian smiled and said, “Relax, a small family in a small city in a small country, what can they do?They are just showing off their power over their limited domain!”
Meng Qingwu then said, “Other than that, while I was still in South Sky City, I received some news.The Central State Four Great Families have already tried to secretly decipher our technology.”
Chu Tian was a little surprised, but did not really care.
This was hard to avoid!
Every time a new talisman or pill appeared on the market, it would draw the attention of the large families.If these items had a high turnover rate, then they would invest a lot into trying to decipher the production method.
The prospects of the source energy lights and source energy cooking were great, it was impossible for the large families to not be jealous.No matter how meticulous Meng Qingwu was, it was impossible for them to not obtain a source energy light.Once they obtained the light, then if they could pass through the source energy array printed, they could reverse the design of the array.
If the source energy design was found out.
Then the source energy lamp technology would be exposed!
It was the same idea with the source energy cooking pots.
This was one of the current era’s most common competitive strategy.There were no such things as patents in the current era and even the country itself silently agreed to this kind of method.Everyone depended on their own strength, so while inventing was strength, it was also strength to decipher a design.Whoever could come up with the invention, they had the right to produce it.
Although it was difficult to reverse an array design, the complexity of a level one source energy was limited.The large families had several hundred scholars gathered just for deciphering these kinds of technology.They could send the source energy array to the Imperial City and find a specialized master or use money to hire the great scholars to decipher it.
Once the technology was deciphered, Miracle Commerce’s production forces would not have any advantages.These large families had strong productive forces and could reach the market ten times faster than Miracle Commerce.Miracle Commerce’s technology would become someone else’s cash tree then!
Chu Tian gave a relaxed smile, “There’s no need to worry.Even though my source energy array is a level one array, those idiots can give up on understanding it within three-five years.Even if they can understand one part, what they make will be defective.If they cannot guarantee the item’s stability, it cannot compete with Miracle Commerce’s goods at all.Acting like this will just harm them, so we’ll just let them develop their items.After they make some products, we will let them eat the dirt behind our asses!”
With Chu Tian saying this
Meng Qingwu felt much assured.
Meng Qingwu had the Heavenly Book Source Spirit’s intelligence boosting powers and still had only understood a part of the design.Although she did not understand the array itself, after all, Southern Cloud Commerce had been a talisman producing family, so isn’t this killing the pig, but not getting to eat pig meat?
Regardless of Chu Tian’s source energy array’s style or shape, it was far ahead of the current era’s technology and was ahead of it by several years.To completely decipher this level one array was something impossible for a small country like the Southern Cloud Country.Even those gigantic countries would find this to be a challenge.
As for being able to decipher a part, perhaps they would be able to make an electric lamp or a source energy pot, but it would be inferior in terms of stability, sensitivity and safety.It would not be able to compare with Miracle Commerce and would only serve as a low grade product.
Let them try to decipher it!
This thing was just basic level technology anyway.
Chu Tian did not care about it from the beginning.
What Chu Tian cared most right now was increasing his strength, and Central State Tower would be a chance to do so.Moreover, in Central State Tower, there was a legendary ten thousand year old lost problem that made him very interested.
………..
After several days.
It was time for the Central State Trials!
The Central State Towers was the event that Central State City cared the most about.
This was an opportunity that came once every five years.Sometimes there were people that pulled out ancient weapons or treasures.There were even times that people had pulled out inherited cultivation techniques or countless rare pills.There were even times where sacred level pill materials were pulled out.How could the large families not be anxious over this?
“The forbidden area is opening!”
“We ask the trial participants to enter now!”
This was a powerful shout.
Central State City’s Great General Xiong Wuji led his troops to completely surround the ruins.
