Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 23: Mo's Military Store

Wanmin Trading Company.

Outside the hall.

Jia Wandao took a deep breath, and his wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.

The pupils of the young man's eyes, which had contracted intensely just now, regained their agility.

After a moment, he opened his mouth, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Father, Gu Mo actually killed the High Offering with just one sword. How could he be so strong!"

At this moment, his eyes still showed a look of uncertainty.

Even now, he still couldn't believe what he had just witnessed.

The esteemed High Offering of the Wanmin Trading Company, a cultivator at the Eighth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm, was actually beheaded by Gu Mo.

Jia Wandao looked at him and said, "Do you know why I stopped you? Remember, disaster comes from the mouth. If you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke again, even I won't be able to save you."

"Yes, Father!"

The young man said, covering his swollen face.

After educating his son, Jia Wandao hurriedly rushed to the warehouse.

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan said, "Gu Mo, you did well. Killing a peak expert at the Eighth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm with one sword shows that your strength has improved again!"

Gu Mo nodded, "In last night's battle, I did gain new insights. I'm not far from condensing a true sword intent! Moreover, the High Offering of the Wanmin Trading Company can't be considered a true Eighth Stage Body Tempering expert. He has long since passed his peak and is not much stronger than a Seventh Stage Body Tempering expert."

Old Ma chimed in, "Gu Mo is right. At his age, his condition has long been deteriorating, and his strength has declined significantly. My own strength has also been gradually declining over the years."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Old Ma, you're still going strong!"

Old Ma instantly remembered the praise he received from those young escorts outside the city, and then chuckled.

After a moment, Old Ma suddenly spoke up.

"Young Master, do you think Jia Wandao will really deliver the three thousand taels of silver as promised?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "He definitely will. He's a smart person! He knows what to do!"

Just as the conversation was taking place.

The short and fat Jia Wandao pretended to pant as he ran into the hall.

He paused for a moment, took two deep breaths, and then walked up to Jiang Yuan.

"Master Jiang, here is one thousand taels of silver notes. You can exchange them immediately at any bank."

"What else?" Jiang Yuan took the silver notes from him.

"The remaining two thousand taels of silver will be sent to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in two days. Is that acceptable? I really can't come up with so much cash right now."

Jia Wandao said cautiously, then quickly added, "As you know, Wanmin Trading Company is in a difficult financial situation. It will take some time to raise two thousand taels of silver."

Jiang Yuan listened to the familiar words.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had said similar things to Jia Wandao a few days ago and couldn't help but smile.

Sensing Jiang Yuan's smile, Jia Wandao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, Jiang Yuan stood up and said, "Deliver it to the escort agency before three in the morning."

"But..."

"No buts!"

Jiang Yuan interrupted him instantly.

Then he said, "Old Ma, Gu Mo, let's go!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

The two followed closely behind and walked out of the hall of the Wanmin Trading Company.

At this moment, the steward who had been waiting outside finally walked in.

"Master, what did he say?"

Jia Wandao shook his head, "There's no room for negotiation. We must deliver it to his mansion tonight!"

"Master, in that case, some assets will have to be sold at a low price, otherwise..."

Before he could finish, Jia Wandao immediately stopped him, "No, money is just an external thing! We can't complicate matters any further!! Life is more important than money!!!"

He said each word resolutely, as if constantly convincing himself.

After a moment, he said, "Lin, go quickly and sell those grain stores. Sell them as quickly as possible!"

"This..."

"Hurry!"

"Yes, sir!"

On the other side.

Jiang Yuan had just left Wanmin Commercial House and headed straight to Moshi Armory with two people.

He had previously ordered a Qianduan Longquan Sword from there for Gu Mo, and the deposit had been paid.

However, due to the lack of money in the escort bureau and the need to pay a large amount of compensation, the final payment had been delayed. Naturally, Gu Mo couldn't get the Qianduan Longquan Sword he had ordered.

But now things were different.

There was money in hand, and no worries in mind!

On the way, Gu Mo's face showed a hint of excitement.

His eyes revealed a trace of longing.

Moshi Armory.

It had been painstakingly operated by the Moshi family for hundreds of years.

With a long history of inheritance, it was the largest and best weapon shop in Lin'an City.

Its current owner, Mo Ye, was at the seventh level of the Body Tempering realm.

But his reputation was not prominent, as he was only obsessed with forging divine weapons.

Jiang Yuan had just stepped into Moshi Armory.

A servant instantly came forward.

"Sir, you've finally arrived!"

"Oh, do you know me?"

"I do! I do! I recognize the famous Young Master Jiang of Lin'an County. How could I not know?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and took out a bronze sword token, handing it to him.

"This is the token for the previously ordered Qianduan Longquan Sword."

"Alright, sir!"

After speaking, the servant took the bronze sword token and hurried upstairs.

A moment later.

A strong and dark-skinned middle-aged man walked downstairs.

[Name]: Mo Ye

[Realm]: Seventh level of the Body Tempering realm

[Innate Luck]: Hammer Master (green), Forge Genius (green), As Strong As An Ox (white)

[Hammer Master]: Exceptionally talented in the way of the hammer, progresses rapidly in the practice of any hammer technique.

[Forge Genius]: Exceptionally gifted in weapon forging.

[As Strong As An Ox]: Naturally stronger than ordinary people.

He was a genius!

What a pity!

His obsession with forging had wasted his talent.

Otherwise, with his aptitude, how could he have stopped at the seventh level of the Body Tempering realm?

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

When Mo Ye saw Jiang Yuan, he immediately clapped his hands, repeatedly wiping them on his pants.

Then he approached Jiang Yuan.

"Mo Ye, I've met Young Master Jiang!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and then said, "I've prepared the money, where's the sword?"

Mo Ye instantly felt a little embarrassed, stuttering, "Well, um..."

"Speak directly!"

"In that case, I'll be direct. I noticed that Young Master Jiang hadn't come to pick up the sword for many days, and there were many rumors outside. Someone happened to be interested in the Qianduan Longquan Sword displayed in the shop, and that person had a favor with me, so I took it upon myself to sell the sword to him."

Jiang Yuan's expression was indifferent as he said, "I don't recall any stipulation that the final payment must be made within a certain time frame, right?"

"No."

At this moment, Mo Ye couldn't help but feel a little nervous, inexplicably guilty, and dared not meet Jiang Yuan's gaze directly.

After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I was wrong in this matter, and I'm willing to compensate!"

"Compensation is fine," Jiang Yuan said, "Your weapon shop must have other better divine weapons. Show us and let us choose."

"Then follow me."
