If a gold coin weighs seven grams, then seven million gold coins would weigh a staggering 49,000 pounds. Even if all the gold coins were melted down into standard gold bars, there would be as many as 20,450 bars.bender

“Not to brag, but I think at this point I’ve got to be the wealthiest among the thirtieth generation of the Tang Clan.” Tang Luo glanced at the boy who was fervently opening wooden chests and immersing himself in the gold and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of smugness.

Because of the betting limit at the casino, Tang Luo now lost some enthusiasm towards accumulating wealth. With his seven million gold coins, he had more than enough to cover all future expenses. Any additional wealth would be just a number.

Over the past month, besides amassing a considerable amount of gold coins, what made him ecstatic was the increase in his spiritual energy. A month ago, he only had 490 spiritual energy points, but it had grown steadily at a rate of 8.1 per day, reaching 733 points after a month of accumulation.

In other words, in no more than thirty days, he would return to the peak of the Mortal Realm. That thought alone was gratifying.

However, in Tang Luo’s plan, the daily increase of 8 points of spiritual energy was just the first step. The second step was to continue cultivating Star Cores to further increase the daily accumulation of spiritual power.

The so-called Star Core is the projection formed by infusing the Star Core within his body with spiritual power. It was somewhere between reality and illusion. The effectiveness of the Star Cores was clear-it functioned as a cultivation booster, every unit of spiritual energy could be amplified three times by the Star Cores and distributed by the main Star Core in his dantian.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

As his cultivation improved, Tang Luo would be able to cultivate more and more Star Cores. Based on his current cultivation level, he could still cultivate two Mortal Realm Star Cores with 2999 points of spiritual power and nine Mortal Realm Star Cores with 299 points of spiritual power.

His second part of the plan was to cultivate all Star Cores within a year, which would cause his daily spiritual power growth to skyrocket.

However, he also found that excellent martial artists are too scarce for their demand. Even among a powerful clan of Xiling like the Tang Family, he only found Fang Han, a martial artist with amazing potential.

Tang Luo was not interested in recruiting any other students from the cultivation ground as hosts for the Star Cores.

The reason was simple. After they reached the peak of the Mortal Realm, they would be selected by a branch of the Tang Clan to become a retainer or a warrior to share the workload. Some of them would stop cultivating or be unable to cultivate every day due to their duties.

This was something Tang Luo could not accept.

Hence, the students of the cultivation ground were no longer suitable to be hosts for Tang Luo’s Star Cores. His ideal candidates were Mortal Realm warriors who were committed to their daily cultivation.

Over the past month, aside from making money, he had been quietly observing for suitable candidates.

But today, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misconception. “One cannot know the true face of Mount Lu, because one is in the mountain itself.”

All he needed was the spiritual energy obtained during the Star Core cultivation. At present, all he needed was to ensure that someone used the Star Cores for cultivation every day. Did it matter if they were exceptionally gifted or crazily passionate about martial arts?

Not important at all. When he succeeds in martial arts and sets up his own business, there would be plenty of warriors who would pledge loyalty to him. He could then consider if the hosts of the Star Cores were loyal.

Even if the requirement for loyalty was relaxed, not everyone could be a host for the Star Cores.

One is not guilty, but his possession of a precious gem is his crime. This item that could accelerate cultivation speed is undoubtedly a precious treasure that would stir up envy. If it was casually given to students for cultivation, and if they accidentally leak it out, the Tang Clan would become a target for everyone. Since the main fighting force of a clan is mainly composed of warriors from the Mortal Realm, an item that can accelerate Mortal Realm cultivation implies that the speed of producing Mortal Realm warriors in the Tang Family would far exceed other families. Even for self-preservation reasons, once this news got out, other clans would start guarding against the Tang Clan.

But what about thinking in another way?

Tang Luo sighed, wishing he could have thought of this earlier, he could have been far ahead by now.

It’s not too late to realize it now, he thought to himself.

Start preparing now, and his plan can be realized in at most two months. With his plan figured out, Tang Luo was in a good mood, and strode towards the training room.

In the training room, Fang Han was sitting on a mat, awaiting Tang Luo’s arrival. Seeing him enter, Fang Han got up to pay his respects.

“Just like last time, I’ll be leaving the Martial Hall for three days.” Tang Luo looked relaxed as he threw the nameplate of the room to Fang Han, asking, “Just like last time, you’ll come here to practice on your own. Any problems?” Fang Han took the nameplate and replied, “No problem, Young Master.” “Alright then.” Tang Luo waved at Fang Han, turned around, and left.

“Oh yes,” Tang Luo suddenly stopped at the doorway of the training room, back toward Fang Han, “There are gold bars in a box in the room. Feel free to use them.”

Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, Fang Han’s heart tightened. He managed to calm himself and watched Tang Luo’s retreating figure, waiting for what else he might say.

However, Tang Luo walked straight out of the training room after he finished speaking.

Now alone again in the training room, Fang Han’s gaze was complicated.

As the lord, Tang Luo could directly remove Fang Han’s name from the roster of Cultivation Ground N0.7, but because he wanted to help Cultivation Ground N0.7 gain rankings in the competition, he did not do it, allowing Fang Han to retain his student status.

Although he was a student, Fang Han’s martial arts and techniques were not taught by Bo Shan, therefore, Fang Han had a lot of freedom and was only responsible to Tang Luo. His student status in Cultivation Ground N0.7 was just in name.

But Tang Luo’s focus recently has been on accumulating wealth, so he didn’t pay special attention to Fang Han. All he needed to see was the daily input of 2.1 units of spiritual energy from the Mortal Realm Star Core, which ensured Han Fang hadn’t been slacking.

He thought Fang Han would always continue to practice diligently, until one day, by chance, he saw Fang Han leaving the Martial Hall to participate in a Mortal Realm martial arts competition.

In terms of timing, Tang Luo concluded that as soon as he left, Fang Han also went out.

Now, this was interesting.

Tang Luo observed in secret.

Fang Han, under the alias Wei Hu and wearing a tiger mask, participated in the contest.

If Tang Luo wasn’t so familiar with Fang Han’s martial arts techniques and the number above his head, he might not have recognized him.

Fang Han won the competition cleanly and efficiently, and again, Tang Luo made a profit.

Actually, he didn’t mind his retainers sneaking out to join contests. After all, students in the cultivation ground had a meager life. These were all hot-blooded youths, wasn’t it reasonable for them to visit a brothel without asking the lord for money? That would be too embarrassing!

Tang Luo thought of himself as a considerate lord. He couldn’t let his first retainer worry about money..
