Immortality Starts From Making Money.
Chapter 225: How Deep the Imperial Capital.
It had been two days since the Thousand Wealth Chamber arrived at the Imperial Capital and it had been an eye-opener.
Compared to looking at the Imperial Capital from the outside, the inside was another world entirely.
Moving from one district to another was like traveling between two close towns. The Imperial Capital was massive.
Some districts were exclusively for the nobles that mere commoners did not dare venture inside.
There was a distinct difference between a commoner and a noble. Offending a noble was close to a death sentence.
Although the Imperial Capital was a land of prosperity, any small mistake would send you to the afterlife.
Apart from that, the standard of living was extremely high. Any average clan or person would not have any chance of surviving in the Imperial Capital.
Nevertheless, to acquire anything in the capital was easy as long as one had the money.
And this was no problem for Mo Jian.
At the western part of the capital, Mo Jian acquired a medium-sized estate.
The medium-sized mansion was as big as the Southern Region Governor's mansion.
With such a massive estate, the Thousand Wealth Chamber settled down with ease.
Inside the main hall, Mo Jian sat on the main seat with others seated below him.
"Young Master, I've completed the mission." Zhao Tian responded.
For intelligence gathering, no one could beat him among their group. In less than two days, he had gathered intel on the major clans of the Imperial Capital.
Elder Zhao looked at his grandson with pride. He never expected his good-for-nothing grandson would reach this stage in his life.
Yet, here he was.
"There are seven ancient clans in the capital and there are five ancient sects." Zhao Tian reported.
All the elders creased their brows and furrowed. To be called an ancient clan or ancient sect there must be the rumor of a Nascent Soul Expert in the clan.
On the continent where everyone's goal was to break through to the Golden Core Realm, in the Imperial Capital, there were seven clans that already surpassed that level.
Just listening to the report made them realize how deep the water of the Imperial Capital was.
Mo Jian was also aware of their thoughts but also kept quiet.
Zhao Tian looked at Mo Jian and he gave a nod to continue. Clearing his throat, he continued with his findings.
"Apart from the seven ancient clans and five sects, there are many powerful organizations. Each of these organizations was rumored to also have a Nascent Soul Expert in their mix."
This time, Elder Zhao could not keep his calm and he questioned.
"How true is this information?"
How could there be many Nascent Soul Experts in all the organizations? That was impossible.
With the continent's law severed, how could there be many Nascent Soul Experts in the capital?
Agreed, their spiritual energy in the Imperial Capital was ten times better than every other place.
Still, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm did not depend on spiritual energy alone. It needed a complete law formation which was impossible to find on the continent.
Zhao Tian had a wry smile on his face. How would he know if the information was real or not?
This was just what he found out from the general public.
"Grandfather, I don't know." He responded. "But this is what most of the people think."
Before Elder Zhao could speak, Mo Jian cut in. "Confirming if those organizations had a Nascent Soul Expert means nothing to our plan anyway. So we don't have to care about them."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
Indeed, their major concern stemmed from the seven ancient clans and five ancient sects.
With everyone coming to an agreement, Zhao Tian continued.
"Apart from the major organizations, there are many powerful loose cultivators in the capital." He paused to arrange his thoughts.
"I heard that even the ancient clans fear some of the loose cultivators."
"Really?!"
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. The ancient clans feared a loose cultivator.
Zhao Tian shrugged, he was merely reporting his findings. How true that was? They only needed to find out when it was time.
"As for business, everything was controlled between the high clans and the ancient clans. Also, I found out the people behind the spatial pouch."
Instantly, the news piqued Mo Jian's curiosity. In fear of the power behind the creation of the spatial pouch, Mo Jian had decided not to sell their chamber's storage artifact.
"I heard it is a partnership between an ancient sect and an ancient clan. Both have control of the spatial pouch and how it was made was unclear to anyone."
Two ancient forces! Mo Jian creased his brow but did not change his expression. He had long suspected this.
For the chamber producing the spatial pouch to maintain their standing for centuries, there must be powerful forces supporting them.
And he was not wrong.
Shaking his head, he did not dwell on the meaningless issue any longer and looked at Zhao Tian.
"Is that all?"
"For the last part, there are only two Tier-1 Restaurants in the capital. From what I found, to eat in the restaurant, many had to book for months.
And if one wanted to eat a specially made Tier-1 Spirit Food, they had to provide the ingredient while also paying a huge amount of money."
Mo Jian nodded and a light smile tugged at the corner of his lips. This was his plan already.
Introducing powerful artifacts could invoke many people's jealousy but for food, it wouldn't raise too much suspicion.
"With the Assembly Summit drawing nearer, we need to establish our footing in the capital before it begins." Mo Jian said seriously.
The Elders nodded. This year's Assembly Summit might not be peaceful and having a strong foothold might allow them to avoid many troubles.
"What we need right now is a powerful backing. I think we should start with the loose cultivators. What do you think?" He asked, looking at the elders.
"Young Master, you're right. We need powerful allies and starting with the loose cultivators will make things easier." Elder Bai replied.
"Good. We will visit the most powerful loose cultivator tomorrow."
