One million pieces! One thousand taels per piece? This …
Faced with this number, Yan Guilai was dumbfounded. After a quick calculation, he realized that there was a total of one billion taels of gold in here!
Not daring to delay, Yan Guilai opened his mouth and sucked in violently. One by one, the golden mountains in the cavern disappeared one after another, stored into Yan Guilai's huge Dimensional Space.
Although there were a lot of gold bricks piled up into ten huge mountains, Yan Guilai's Dimensional Space was incomparably huge. Storing all these gold bricks was no problem at all.
After storing all the gold bricks, Yan Guilai was ecstatic. He immediately used Dimensional Travel and Space Folding to rush back to Ancient Wood Village.
As soon as he appeared, Yan Guilai found Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli. He took out a gold brick and asked, "I found a lot of gold bricks in Flying Sky City. There's a total of one billion taels. What's with all this gold?"
Faced with Yan Guilai's question, Shangguan Qianqiu was stunned at first. Then, he smiled and said, "Kid, you're really lucky. You actually found the treasury!"
Frowning, Yan Guilai said, "Answer me first. What's with all these gold bricks?"
Shaking his head, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "More than a hundred years ago, before the great calamity struck, humans planned to use gold, silver, and bronze to replace spirit stones as currency."
Looking at Shangguan Qianqiu in confusion, Yan Guilai asked, "Why must we use gold to replace spirit stones?" It seems to be a bit superfluous. "Hearing Yan Gui's words, Situ Wanli continued," Why is it superfluous? You should know … that humans' Demonic Spirit Fire Arrows and Gale Sharp Golden Arrows all require spirit stones to be refined. Therefore … spirit stones have become the most important strategic resource. It's naturally inappropriate to continue using them as currency.
Yes. "
Nodding his head, Shangguan Qianqiu continued, "That's right, this matter is imperative. However … right after the gold is delivered to the various cities and sent into the vaults, the great calamity will begin."
Shangguan Qianqiu paused for a moment before continuing, "The gold was contributed by the Abyss Race. Every super city has a vault like this."
Hiss …
Hearing Shangguan Qianqiu's words, Yan Guilai's eyes widened. He said incredulously, "So you're saying that I can find a million gold bricks in every city?"
"What? One million yuan! "Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Shangguan Qianqiu couldn't help but exclaim.
Shangguan Qianqiu shook his head and said, "How can there be so many? You should know … one tael of gold is worth ten thousand copper coins. Your one billion taels of gold is equivalent to ten trillion copper coins. That's impossible! "
Faced with Shangguan Qianqiu's doubts, Yan Guilai didn't waste any time. He directly put Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli into the dimensional space.
Looking at the ten incomparably huge golden mountains in the dimensional space, Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli were dumbfounded.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "Obviously, this gold is meant to be refined into gold ingots, and then be circulated throughout the eastern provinces."
Nodding his head, Stu Wanli said, "That's right, one billion taels of gold. This is definitely not an amount that a city should have. It's a share of the entire eastern provinces."
A share of the eastern provinces?
Faced with Stu Wanli's words, Yan Guilai's face was full of confusion. Obviously, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Faced with Yan Guilai's confusion, Stu Wanli said, "Over a hundred years ago, the Abyss Clan paid ten billion taels of gold in exchange for all the spiritual stones accumulated by the Human Clan."
After a pause, Stu Wanli continued, "Of the ten billion taels of gold, five billion taels were transported to the Black Gold City in the west. They were used to refine King and Emperor weapons in batches to strengthen the army's equipment."
Nodding his head, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "That's right. The remaining five billion taels of gold were divided into five and sent to the five major provinces in the east, west, north, south, and center. They were used to replace spiritual stones and become the new currency."
Hearing Shangguan Qianqiu and Stu Wanli's words, Yan Guilai's eyes couldn't help but light up. He said excitedly, "So, the southern provinces only have one billion taels of gold. The other four billion taels are in the four major provinces that have fallen?"
Shaking his head, Shangguan Qianqiu said in a deep voice, "The southern provinces indeed only have one billion taels of gold. However, the other four major provinces don't only have four billion taels of gold. They have nine billion taels of gold!"
What! Nine billion?
Hearing Shangguan Qianqiu's words, Yan Guilai was stunned at first. Then, he slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes … I forgot about the five billion taels that were transported to the Black Gold City. They were used to refine equipment."
Looking at Yan Guilai with a smile, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "Now, you're really rich. The amount of gold you have is as much as the amount of gold circulating in the southern provinces."
Hehe …
Hearing Shangguan Qianqiu's words, Yan Guilai immediately laughed. What made him the happiest was that there were still eight billion taels of gold in the four major provinces that were waiting for him to obtain.
Unfortunately … for the time being, such a good thing wouldn't happen. The gold of the eastern provinces had all fallen into his hands. As for the northern, western, and central provinces, he couldn't go there for the time being.
However, no matter what, he was now rich enough to rival a nation. He didn't need to worry about money for the rest of his life.
Happily returning to the karst cave, Yan Guilai took out all the gold bricks and piled them up in the huge karst cave. In an instant, the entire karst cave became resplendent and dazzling.
Seeing Yan Gui Lai come back and pour out so many gold bricks, the nine little girls immediately jumped up and down happily. They jumped up and down on the gold bricks and were extremely happy.
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai didn't pay any attention to the young ladies. Instead, he activated his dimensional travel once again and hurried back to the Flying Sky City. Then, he called the 100-meter-long Flying Sky King over.
Yan Guilai looked deeply at the Flying Sky King and said, "Next, I plan to unify the Giant Python Tribe and dominate these ten cities. Therefore … I need your help!"
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the Flying Sky King frowned and said, "Unifying the Giant Python Tribe isn't difficult. However, the difficult part is that the Giant Python Tribe has an Emperor!"
Yan Guilai couldn't help but frown when he heard the Flying Sky King's words. Although he hadn't personally experienced the might of the Emperor, there was a saying in the Qiankun Realm that went like this: If you don't become an Emperor, you'll always be an ant!
Seeing Yan Guilai's frown, the Flying Sky King said, "If you want to unify the Giant Python Tribe, you only need to defeat the Forest Boa Emperor. After defeating him, you'll become the Giant Python King!"
After taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai said, "Alright, I'll give it a try. However … I wonder where the Forest Boa Emperor is right now?"
Looking deeply at Yan Guilai, the Flying Sky King said, "The Forest Boa Emperor is currently in Forest Boa City, about 1,500 kilometers to the east. I can send someone to take you there. However, I can't help you much with other matters."
Nodding, Yan Guilai spat out a bead and said, "How about this? Send someone to send this bead outside Forest Boa City and bury it in a hidden corner. I'll handle the rest myself."
