He discussed with Xu Fufu how to manage the newly established organization and instructed Liu Mei'er to open branches of Gluttonous House in other major cities, as well as to refine the herbs that Prince Xia Jing would need in the future. At the same time, he had to be wary of the Suzaku Society's possible retaliation.
The real manager of the organization, Miao Yiniang, had already consumed the pill, and her strength was rapidly breaking through. She was improving by leaps and bounds almost every day.
Miao Yiniang had been hiding in the basement all this while, preparing to come out only when she had completely advanced to the Golden Stone Stage and stabilized herself. Chu Yan had also been by Miao Yiniang's side all this while. Her progress was even faster than Miao Yiniang's.
In the past month, Chu Mo had only secretly visited two or three times, and he had been careful each time to avoid being targeted.
Liu Mei'er had poured great enthusiasm into the business of Gluttonous House. This intelligent and knowledgeable woman had finally found the greatest joy in her life. Therefore, after Chu Mo's suggestion, Liu Mei'er used the shortest amount of time to come up with a complete plan.
After reading it, Chu Mo was very impressed with the level of this talented woman. Therefore, the matter of Gluttonous House opening branches in major cities such as the State Capital of Qing was settled.
On the other hand, Prince Xia Jing continued to collect herbs. He had already set his sights on the entire Da Xia market!
During this period, the price of herbs in Da Xia had almost doubled. Many of the herb merchants were overjoyed. On the other hand, the big medicine stores were on the verge of tears.
In the beginning, they were still very happy. The herbs that had been stored in their medicine stores for many years were all sold at a high price. However, gradually … they realized that the herbs were not enough! At this time, when they went to look for familiar herb merchants to stock up, they realized that … they could not buy the herbs at the previous price!
Either … he didn't buy it, or he had to pay a higher price!
Because at the same price, those herb merchants would definitely focus on the Prince Mansion first …
This time, Xia Jing's crime in the common people had one more … monopolizing medicinal ingredients!
When there were too many lice, one would not bite them, and when there were too many debts, one would not worry about it. For Xia Jing, this bit of infamy did not affect him at all. He ate and drank, and was in good spirits. Because to Xia Jing, this was the time when a person was in high spirits.
These matters were not too big of a problem for Chu Mo. Almost all of them were managed by professionals. There was no need for him to worry about anything.
There was only one thing he needed to worry about — the Suzaku Society!
During this period of time, Chu Mo used his newly established intelligence network as well as some other channels to learn more about the Vermilion Bird Society. He received a lot of shocking news.
Especially today at Xia Jing's Prince Mansion, the things that Chu Mo learned made Chu Mo's heart sink a little.
"Suzaku Society? How did Childe Chu get entangled with them? "When Xia Jing heard these three words, the expression on his face was very shocked.
"I didn't get entangled with them. I just happened to hear that this force is very big, so I just casually asked." Chu Mo said indifferently.
"This force … if you can, don't provoke it. Try to stay as far away as possible." Xia Jing frowned and said in a deep voice, "In our world, those top sects are high and mighty, ruling over all living beings. The secular imperial power controls the secular world. The Suzaku Society, the Azure Dragon Hall, the Black Tortoise Palace, and the White Tiger Hall are respectively the representatives of the top sects in the four mainlands under the Four Symbols Continent in the secular world! Their composition is very complicated! "
Xia Jing recalled and said, "Many years ago, I once met the hall master of the Azure Dragon Hall. That hall master was an elder in the Longevity Heaven! Their hierarchical system is very strict, not much different from the hierarchy in the secular world. The hall master is at the Primordial Stone level, the elders below are at the Gold level, the deacons are at the Silver level, the managers are at the Bronze level, and below them … are the Black Iron level. "
Chu Mo asked with some confusion, "Those top sects can already command all living beings and rule over all living beings. Why do they still want to establish such a force?"
Xia Jing sneered and said, "There are too many rules in the big sects, and they all claim to be righteous and pure, not tainted by the secular world … In the early years, those top sects used to support the secular imperial power in exchange for large amounts of resources. But the imperial power in the secular world is not a soft persimmon. It is not so easy to control. Moreover, the benefits that the secular imperial power can give them are ultimately limited. "
Xia Jing sighed and said, "The greed of human nature is not only limited to the secular world. Those big shots in the sects actually have even bigger appetites! When the resources provided by the secular imperial power cannot satisfy their growing appetite … forces like the Azure Dragon Hall, the Suzaku Society, the Black Tortoise Palace and the White Tiger Hall will naturally appear. Of course, those big forces will definitely not admit that these forces have anything to do with them on the surface. "
"So these forces are actually established by those top sects …" Chu Mo finally understood why Hua Nan and Sun Yifei were so arrogant that day. They simply had nothing to fear. So there was actually such a powerful force supporting them from behind.
"Not only the top sects, some small and medium sects also need resources. They can't even get any benefits from the secular imperial power. So they all joined these four organizations. Through these organizations, they can obtain large amounts of resources for their own development. " Xia Jing sighed and said, "If we say that the royal family is the ruler of the secular world on the surface, then these four organizations are the kings in the dark! Many famous tycoons and big merchants are actually people in these organizations. "
"Yes, if the forces behind them are the big sects, the royal family really has no way to eradicate them." Chu Mo said.
"Eradicate? Hehe, it's good enough that they don't rebel. Firstly, they don't have the ability to manage the secular imperial power. Secondly, after so many years, both sides have formed a tacit understanding. "Xia Jing said a little tiresomely," They don't interfere with each other. "
"In other words, the Azure Dragon Hall has the same power as the secular imperial power on the Azure Dragon continent?" Chu Mo asked.
Xia Jing nodded and said, "You can understand it that way."
"Then, if the people of the Suzaku Society run wild on our Azure Dragon continent, will the people of the Azure Dragon Hall … take action?" Chu Mo asked.
At this time, Xia Jing raised his head and looked deeply at Chu Mo. This cunning prince had already guessed that Chu Mo must have some conflict with the Suzaku Society.
Therefore, he reminded Chu Mo very seriously, "This kind of behavior, by right … it must be the people of the Suzaku Society who have crossed the line. However, the people of the Azure Dragon Hall have also run wild on the Vermilion Bird continent … There is also some kind of tacit understanding between them."
Chu Mo nodded and expressed that he understood. Then, Chu Mo bade farewell and left the Prince Mansion. On the way back, his heart was a little heavy.
Xia Jing's words were basically telling Chu Mo clearly that even if the Suzaku Society targeted him, Chu Mo, in Yan Huang City. The people of the Azure Dragon Hall would most likely choose to turn a blind eye. As for the royal family … it was even more impossible to intervene.
"Could it be that … I can only wait for them to come to take revenge?" Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "My current strength is still very weak. It is not enough to go against such a behemoth. To fight to the end … is obviously not wise. Therefore, I should think of a way to solve this problem once and for all. "
At this time, Chu Mo suddenly thought of Wang Dafa.
That middle-aged rich man who looked like a nouveau riche had casually given him a bronze cauldron worth 3,000 taels of silver.
"I should pay him a visit." Chu Mo's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.
