You guessed wrong, Senior Brother Gu Bei! Looks like you can only live happily in the netherworld!
Lou Xiaoyi suppressed the melancholy in his heart. At the very least, Gu Bei was still the perfect senior brother in his heart!
Repaying the debt would have to wait until they returned to Xuanyuan. The most important thing now was to clean up these Tian family members, which was also a troublesome matter!
But he didn't think it was troublesome now! People were just that strange.
"I think you all understand senior brother's intentions! The business of the bank won't last long without support. What's more, you guys are secretly loaning spirit stones. If something happens, it'll be a big problem!
With senior brother here, you'll have Xuanyuan's name to protect you. People will always have some scruples when doing things! But if you don't have this scruple …
I won't stay here for long. What do you think? "
The three elders of the Tian family looked at each other helplessly. They couldn't bear to part with their business in Minzhou. They also didn't know if their family would decline if they switched to another business.
But of course, they understood the great ancestor's intentions. They had lost their backing. If they didn't care about themselves, they might not only face decline, but collapse!
Family Head Tian said with difficulty, "We'll follow the great ancestor's wishes and close the bank business! But this loan business is complicated. There are all kinds of loose ends that need to be tidied up, accounts settled, transactions between banks, staff dismissed, and separation with Wushan Sect. It's complicated and trivial. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it'll take time … "
Lou Xiaoyi snorted. "You don't have much time! I can't be here with you all the time and be the backer of your tyrannical collection! "
The Tian Family Head was in an awkward position. That was indeed what he meant. Taking advantage of the fact that this great ancestor's fellow disciple was here, he wanted to take the opportunity to make some more money. At the very least, he had to minimize his losses. It was just like how he had just released a large sum of money. How could he get it back before the agreed date? Usually, he could take it slow, but now …
Lou Xiaoyi warned, "You can't enjoy all the benefits, but you can't collect all the debts! When doing business, you have to know when to advance and when to retreat!
Why don't you write off some of the poor creditors? You won't lose much, and it'll leave a good reputation for the Tian family. It'll also be beneficial for the development of your other businesses! Don't tell me you're short of money. Senior Brother has left you with all his savings over the years. It's enough for you to eat and drink for several lifetimes. Why be so calculative?
Especially those spirit stone loans of yours. They must be settled immediately and must not be collected! Otherwise, after I leave, what will you use to resist the endless harassment of those Qi Condensation cultivators?!
I've already said all the good and bad things. There's nothing I can do if you don't want to listen. But think about the future. You'll understand. Is it better to go all out now? It's better to leave them some leeway! "
Under Lou Xiaoyi's supervision, the entire Tian Family started to get busy. It would be a lie to say that they were completely unprepared. Because the Great Ancestor was faced with the problem of whether or not he would succeed in his breakthrough, he had actually made two backup plans. He had already found a backup plan long ago. In recent years, he had also been very restrained in lending money. These old fellows were crafty and cunning. They were more thoughtful than anyone else!
Lou Xiaoyi didn't stay in the Tian Family. Instead, he found a nearby inn. He set a deadline for himself. One month was the longest he could stay!
There would always be things that didn't go according to plan. If it wasn't for Gu Bei, he wouldn't have bothered to care about how this family who had put out their money had changed their ways. But the truth was that it wasn't something that could be done just because you wanted to. There was no such thing as pure justice and evil in this world.
Two days later, he was studying the bead in the inn.
Just as Gu Bei had said, this was a Spiritual Bead. Or to put it more bluntly, it was a spiritual power amplifier!
Gu Bei's spiritual power wasn't enough to control it, but Lou Xiaoyi could do it! That was because his spiritual power was extraordinary!
During the Foundation Establishment period, the growth of a cultivator's abilities was mainly focused on their magic power cultivation. Although their spiritual power was also improving, the growth was slow. This was determined by the cultivator's sea of consciousness.
Lou Xiaoyi was an old soul that had wandered the universe for countless years. Not to mention other things, his spiritual power capacity was fundamentally different from other cultivators. With the help of the Star Comparison Technique, his spiritual power was increasing day by day. This was also his biggest trump card. It was the main reason why he dared to wander around alone before he had mastered his swordsmanship!
But even so, his current spiritual power could only affect the spiritual power of other cultivators to a limited extent, and it was only for a short period of time. But if he used this bead together, at a suitable time, he might be able to injure his opponent's spiritual power.
As for what other functions this bead had, there wasn't enough time. He didn't have the chance to test them one by one. But obviously, he wouldn't be given enough time here!
An employee of Deshun Private Bank rushed in hurriedly.
"Master! Not good! A few cultivators have broken in and are trying to harm the main house! Master Wu Shan is blocking them, but I think two fists can't fight against four hands. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. He didn't want to come, but he just had to come. Minzhou City was a big city in the Fifth Ring Region. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the city. He didn't dare to release his spiritual sense casually. So even though he was very close to De Shun, he still didn't know what was going on.
Master Wang was a Foundation Establishment cultivator that Wu Shan had sent to Minzhou. Although his backer was the powerful Xuanyuan Swordsman, distant water couldn't quench the thirst at hand. He had to find a decent backer in the local area. Not every bank could do this. The reason why Master Wang liked De Shun was actually because of Xuanyuan.
It was complicated and hard to explain in a few words.
He followed the clerk to De Shun Bank. He wasn't in a hurry. Cultivators wouldn't attack in crowded places in the city, and they wouldn't fight between cultivators here. This was also a rule. Especially when it came to Foundation Establishment cultivators. If they couldn't control it carefully, it was easy to cause harm to innocent people!
This time, they were in the VIP lounge of De Shun Bank. The room was large and there were many people. There were over a dozen bank managers, including the three old Tian Family fellows. They were all shouting themselves hoarse as they tried to explain something.
A Daoist with hidden anger was confronting the three cultivators. It was Wu Shan Sect's Daoist Wang. This bank was under his protection and he had obtained a great deal of benefits from it. He wouldn't shrink back!
Since others had come looking for them, it was the same as slapping them in the face. Where could they hide? Every year, they took away a great deal of resources from the bank so that they could do this. Moreover, this was Wu Shan Sect's territory. There was no need to be afraid!
The three cultivators had their backs to the door. From their clothes, it was impossible to tell which sect they were from.
There was also someone Lou Xiaoyi recognized. It was the victim Huang Gousheng. But he was clearly here as a witness. In the face of the Tian Family's anger, he could only grit his teeth and endure. Once he reported this, he could only win, he couldn't lose!
"According to the rules of the cultivation world, if a mortal bank deals in spirit stones, they will be severely punished. They will have to sell off their assets and go bankrupt! As for the person behind them, they can be handed over to the sect to deal with. Fellow daoist Wang, could it be that Minzhou Province isn't above the Fifth Ring and isn't bound by the Fifth Ring?
I don't believe that once today's matters reach your sect's ears, you will still be free and unfettered! "
