Chapter 626: The truth behind the soul praying wine
Translator: 549690339
After mo Xiaoxin and qu Zui reached an agreement, they started the brewing plan of the soul praying wine. At the same time, in order to prepare the starting capital, they began to recruit people.
The first to join were seven.
With regards to qu Zui’s idea of brewing the heavenly brew wine, the seven elders were extremely gratified and immediately took out forty thousand soul coins to sponsor him.
On the other hand, mo Xiaoxin did not have many friends in the game, and his only biological mother was not willing to help him. Hence, he sent a message to his biological father to test the waters.
What he didn’t expect was that he received an email with 100000 soul coins.
However, in the mail, ao Jian had asked about the use of this money.
While mo Xiaoxin was happy about this, he also replied to ao Jian about his plan to brew his own wine. Ao Jian did not respond after that.
However, the surprise came very quickly.
Originally, even with the help of ao Jian and seven, this amount of money was still not enough to brew the soul praying wine.
At this moment, Gu Yu, the president of the myth Guild, contacted mo Xiaoxin. He expressed his interest and was willing to invest in the company. He wanted to provide 300000 soul coins as support.
Mo Xiaoxin was both happy and worried at the same time.
Gu Yu and Gou ‘Zi were among the top few players who wanted to kill him the most.
If he was exposed, he would be done for.
This was especially so for the young paparazzo, who had been criticized by him countless times on the forum. This hatred had been formed for three years.
And he had laughed and rubbed his dog head on the forum for three years …
After some hesitation, mo Xiaoxin gritted his teeth and agreed.
He believed that with his disguise, he would never be discovered!
After all, other than the forums, he never scared anyone in the game, so there would be no flaws.
However, what mo Xiaoxin did not expect was more to come.
Liu Chan and the other guilds ‘guild leaders had heard that he wanted to make sky wine, and they all came over to express their willingness to invest.
In fact, in the eyes of the Guild leaders, brewing sky wine was definitely a very good investment project.
These guild leaders weren’t stupid. They didn’t know if they could earn back this money, but they knew one thing.
If he really succeeded, it would be equivalent to holding onto a money tree in the future.
This could be seen from the wood Spirit’s success.
Although they didn’t know what the specific effects of the soul praying wine were, in their opinion, it was probably a wine that could bring a very powerful increase in strength. It was a project worth investing in.
As a result, the two poor people who had reached an agreement became rich in an instant.
The money had come too quickly, so fast that they were dumbfounded and caught off guard.
In a short two days, the four-digit soul coins in their hands had become seven-digit.
After that, mo Xiaoxin decisively rejected the many investors that came after because there were too many of them.
Moreover, mo Xiaoxin wasn’t sure if he could successfully brew the wine. Even if he did, he wasn’t sure if it sold well well.
Although this was a heavenly brew-level wine, he did not know its specific effects. He only knew that it was related to opening the large tomb at the bottom of the sea, which was the main reason why he needed the soul praying wine.
At that time, if he failed to create any value, the various large guilds wouldn’t do anything to him. After all, he had already stated that this investment might not necessarily succeed.
However, there would always be a certain impact. If the number of people increased, there might be problems when the forum publicized it. For the sake of his own safety, mo Xiaoxin had always been very cautious in this aspect. He would not be as reckless as he was on the forum.
Moreover, the number of soul coins he had received was already close to 3 million, which was more than enough for him to use at this stage!
Compared to mo Xiaoxin, qu Zui appeared to be very happy.
Because he had solved the biggest financial problem, he could do as much as he wanted!
Then, the two of them began to auction and buy mystical materials according to the list on the blueprint!
The feeling of buying goods in an auction house made the two of them extremely excited.
Being rich gave people the feeling that they were omnipotent.
……
At this moment, at the border of the Wuxu Sea area and the kui Dragon Sea area.
A ghostly figure sped over from the distance and blended into the night before suddenly shooting into the water.
Without setting off any waves, the figure quickly headed to the depths of the sea.
As he dived, the water pressure continued to increase, but his speed did not decrease at all.
Gradually, violent underwater vortexes appeared in the surroundings.
However, this figure could easily pass through it without the slightest obstruction.
As he continued to dive, he came to an unremarkable pile of seaweed.
At this moment, he stopped diving and walked toward the grass pile.
In an instant, the surrounding environment underwent a huge change. The originally dark vision became bright, and the seawater that enveloped him was also blocked behind him.
The shadow on the man’s body also dissipated at this time, revealing his true body.
He was wearing a black cloak that covered his entire body, with a ghostly mask on his face and the Riptide mark that symbolized the netherworld Chamber of Commerce on his back.
If the Sea King was here, it would definitely recognize this person.
It was the Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce’s elder Ying!
At that moment, elder Ying’s gaze swept all around and after a moment of silence, he walked towards the two dragon head pillars in the center of the area.
Coming to a stop before the dragon’s head, elder Ying took off the mask on his face, to reveal a terrifying skeletal face. There was not a single trace of flesh or blood on the face, and within the head was the serene Soul Fire burning.
At this time, his figure slowly knelt in front of the dragon’s head pillar. He lowered his head and mumbled some vague words. Drops of tears condensed from Soul Fire fell at this time.
Every year, he would come here once to pay tribute to the dead.
” Wuwu~” at this moment, the dragon’s head trembled and let out a sorrowful wail.
Hearing the dragon’s head pillar’s sorrowful cry, elder Ying slowly raised his head and stretched out his hand to stroke the pillar that was carved with runic imprints, his bony fingers running across the patterns on it, to re-read the ancient story recorded on the dragon’s head pillar.
It was a story about the Challenger.
He had long forgotten how much time had passed. In short, it had been a very, very long time.
Once, there was a challenger in this Sea area. He was one of the few people who dared to confront the netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
Some people established powerful dynasties in order to obtain status, benefits, and other things.
However, some people established dynasties to overturn the old order.
The one buried deep underground was the latter.
That person had once controlled a huge force that spanned many seas, but he did not choose to lead his subordinates to the central Sea area of the yellow spring. Instead, he chose to fight against the greatest injustice.
The biggest injustice was the netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
His name was the shadow, and he was born into a family of sea merchants.
As a sea merchant, it was inevitable that he had to contact the netherworld Chamber of Commerce, and he had to pay 60% of the trade profits every year.
At that moment, elder Ying could still clearly remember the question that thin and weak figure had asked him when he was explaining his knowledge of sea merchants and trade, and when he was talking about the netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
“Why do you need to pay tribute? Can we unite all the Chambers of Commerce to resist the rule of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce?”
When elder Ying thought about that question at that moment, it might be the beginning of the Shadow’s journey on that road of no return.
At that time, elder Ying had replied with a smile: ”
“In a garden, the first flower to be picked will always be the most beautiful, most beautiful flower. Although your thinking is not wrong, it is like a beautiful flower. It will become the first target of the person who picks it. It is not desirable!”
The young shadow didn’t say anything after hearing his answer, only nodding silently.
That was the first time that elder Ying had paid attention to this person called the shadow, and was also the first child to enter the clan’s school to study.
After that, this child displayed extremely high talent, which attracted his attention even more.
Whether it was cultivation or intelligence, the shadow far surpassed his peers.
It could be said that elder Ying had witnessed the rise of this King.
From the initial ordinary sea merchant forces to the multi-faceted development forces that monopolized the entire sea area, and finally to the shadow dynasty that spanned multiple sea areas.
That person had reached a peak that he had never imagined.
At that time, elder Ying thought that the shadow would be like those pioneers and eventually lead his forces to join the netherworld Chamber of Commerce in the name of a sea merchant. Then, he would move into the central Sea area of the netherworld and fight for hegemony with the real powerhouses for the Chamber of Commerce. However, the shadow made a very stupid decision in his eyes.
He wanted to overturn the netherworld Chamber of Commerce and control his own fate.
Elder Ying had once said to the sea King,”
“The definition of a true expert isn’t in how strong they are, but in being able to be unrestricted by anything and decide their own fate.”
And this was what the shadow had told him with a smile when he had asked why he had done so.
And the shadow had indeed done so!
There were many forces in history who had challenged the ruling power of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce, but no one else had made the netherworld Chamber of Commerce pay a huge price like the shadow.
Who would believe that this challenge was a thought that the shadow had had since he was young?
The reason was only ‘why?’ These three words.
For this reason, the shadow had already begun planning when he first established the forces in the sea.
First, he built an elite Shadow Legion. Then, he formed an alliance with many powerful sea merchants and slowly strengthened his trump card.
When the horn to overturn the netherworld Chamber of Commerce was blown, the era of the sea was called the “chaotic Shadow Era.”
A long sea war began, and a man named shadow was remembered by the upper echelons of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
However, there was no miracle in the end. He was defeated by the netherworld Chamber of Commerce’s full strength.
But from elder Ying’s point of view, the shadow was the person who had the highest chance of overturning the netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
The reason for his defeat was not the netherworld Chamber of Commerce, but his allies!
They were willing to choose to form an alliance with the shadow because of their interests. They felt that netherworld Chamber of Commerce was too ruthless.
It was also for this reason that the shadow was able to firmly unite many sea merchants.
However, when the netherworld Chamber of Commerce was willing to make concessions and offer conditions that could be accepted by these sea merchants, the so-called unbreakable barrier turned into a pile of loose sand.
Elder Ying still remembered at that moment, the words his last sea merchant ally had said before he left.
“It’s very simple. We don’t have the Shadow King’s dream, and we don’t have the Shadow King’s insistence on controlling his own fate. Everything is just for the sake of benefits. If there are enough benefits, who would be willing to bleed and sacrifice in exchange for illusory things?”
Just like that, the shadow dynasty went on a different path and also welcomed the final battle before its destruction.
In that battle, elder Ying had also been a member of the shadow Army and he had made up his mind to die, to follow the shadow to welcome the final moment that belonged to them.
In that battle, many God-level experts of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce came and set up the annihilation array together. The entire shadow dynasty fell apart.
The feeling of his flesh and blood being melted was very painful, very painful, heart-wrenching …
At that moment, elder Ying had thought that he was about to die.
However, at that moment, the shadow stood in front of him and protected him with the last of his life.
When the shadow collapsed from exhaustion, he turned his head to look at elder Ying and said a single sentence.
Those words moved elder Ying greatly and he said: ”
“Teacher, if I were that flower-gatherer, I would definitely pick the ugliest flower first, not the most beautiful one!”
These were the last words the shadow left in the world before his life passed away.
Actually, elder Ying had not understood the meaning of those words at the time, but he understood it later on.
That was the Shadow’s last bit of unwillingness.
He didn’t need trashes and traitors on his way to overturn the netherworld Chamber of Commerce. What he desired was a brilliant companion like him!
These trashes and traitors were the Allies of the sea merchants who had left.
The later generations had given the shadow many labels, saying that he was overestimating his own abilities, saying that he was extremely stupid, but as his teacher, elder Ying understood that he was a person who truly had dreams.
No matter what, the shadow was the most brilliant flower in the garden of the sea era. Although he couldn’t escape his fate of being broken, at least history still remembered him.
Just like the era of the heaven defying Alliance, even if they were labeled as heaven-defying scoundrels. However, the era they lived in was known by the heaven realm as the era of the heaven defying Alliance, and those who resisted were branded with the glorious mark of the heaven defying Alliance. It was also because of the brilliant light that erupted from this group of people that future generations would remember this unique era.
Even the wheels of history could not erase the glory of their existence.
Therefore, it was always the heroes who created the era, and not the era that forged the heroes.
In the chaotic shadow sea era, it was precisely because of shadows that they were called chaotic shadows.
As for him, he was lucky enough to survive. He came from the era of chaotic shadows in the sea, and he couldn’t even remember how long he had lived.
Without flesh and blood, he lived on the soul praying wine and had been living in an ignoble manner until now.
However, he had always remembered the history that belonged to the shadow Clan, and he had also paid tribute to the Shadow King that he had once followed.
He hated the netherworld Chamber of Commerce, so he joined it and planned to create a beautiful era like the chaotic Shadow Era.
During this period, he had climbed up step by step until he became one of the two elders in the devouring Sea area who were second only to the president. He also held the distribution rights of the war Chamber of Commerce.
After that, elder Ying finally began to move.
He distributed the ten sea God’s pardon cards to the most ambitious people.
Strength was important, but what he wanted more were those who were not content with the status quo and dared to subvert the old order.
Time passed and during this period, the war Chamber of Commerce continued to fall and new ones rose. Elder Ying had been silently observing from the beginning to the end, choosing the heir he wanted to inherit the Shadow King.
In fact, he had paid attention to many people, but most of them had died in the law of the jungle or had gone to the central Sea area. Until now, no one had dared to challenge the netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
Because of that, elder Ying was extremely disappointed, but he had never given up.
That was until he met the Sea King.
In elder Ying’s opinion, the doubts raised by the sea King were very similar to the shadow back then. Furthermore, he seemed to be more ambitious than the shadow and not just a false dream.
In fact, how could he not have noticed the many little tricks that Hai Wang had been secretly playing?
The first condition was simple. The smoke Dragon fleet belonged to the netherworld Chamber of Commerce, and the sea King had dared to harm it in secret. This action had violated the rule of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce protecting its subordinate forces, so it could be punished at that time.
However, elder Ying had secretly suppressed this matter and allowed the Sea King to obtain the qualification of the war Chamber of Commerce.
When the merchant ship carrying the ice Fire Stone had been robbed by a player clan, he had pushed through the crowd and suggested sending people to investigate instead of directly punishing the player clan.
The reason he gave was that he wanted to know the background of the player’s family before making a move.
However, the actual situation was that the netherworld Chamber of Commerce had encountered all kinds of storms since it was established, let alone any powerful threats that might exist. The player families weren’t even worth taking into account.
But with elder Ying’s words, coupled with his status, everyone had agreed to his decision.
The reason for his actions was very simple.
It was because after the sea robbery, the senior executives of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce had expressed their doubts about the Sea King and did not believe what he said.
At that time, the netherworld Chamber of Commerce decided to investigate the Sea King in secret.
When it was decided who would go, elder Ying took on the job and quietly came to the new mo Island where the Sea King’s forces were located.
Although the Sea King had hidden very deep and buried the plundered goods deep underground, he had still found them.
However, after he returned, he told the higher-ups of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce that there was no problem with the Sea King!
Later, when Sea King learned that the netherworld Chamber of Commerce wanted to investigate the player families, he was the one who revealed it.
Otherwise, the Sea King’s envoy stationed in the yellow spring Branch in the devouring Sea area would not have the right and qualification to understand the contents of the high-level meeting.
He had arranged everything in secret.
The purpose was to let the Sea King grow up, because he wanted to cultivate a shadow-like Challenger and subversive.
And as this challenger grew, he would inevitably need the existence of a companion.
At least from elder Ying’s perspective, the player clans might just be one of them.
Since the player families dared to collude with the Sea King and Rob the netherworld Chamber of Commerce’s merchant ship, it proved that the player families had the same ambitions.
This was also the reason why elder Ying had chosen to help the player clans.
Until now, no one knew his secret. He was still the elder Ying who did his best for the development of the netherworld Chamber of Commerce, and no one had ever doubted him.
And he would continue to hide in the dark, silently watching and waiting …
Time flew by, but his idea of overturning the netherworld Chamber of Commerce had never changed!
……
After reminiscing for a while, elder Ying stood up and put on his mask once more, before draping over his black robe.
Before he left, he walked to the back of the dragon head pillar.
He subconsciously glanced at the treasure chest that he had stored here some time ago, and his body trembled.
The treasure chest had disappeared!
At that moment, elder Ying’s heart was in turmoil and his body could not help but tremble. The soul Fire in his head flickered violently, which showed how agitated he was at that moment.
He waved his hand, and the world in front of him turned gray-white in an instant. In this gray-white world, there was a light green trace of life.
The foreign creatures that entered this space, as well as the traces of their activities in this space, became clearly visible at this moment.
After sweeping his eyes over it for a moment, elder Ying fell into silence.
The blueprint of the soul praying wine was something he had left for the Sea King.
After that plundering incident, he acknowledged the Sea King and felt that he might be able to reach the same level as the shadow.
The reason why he left the drawing of the soul praying wine that could open the tomb below here was to let the Sea King come here and obtain the drawing under his subsequent arrangements. Then, he would accidentally discover the secret hidden in the drawing and accept the Shadow’s inheritance.
All these arrangements were just to make it easier for the Sea King to obtain the inheritance.
And he had never thought of doing it himself.
Because if the Sea King failed, he could still find the next heir to continue his plan to subvert the netherworld Chamber of Commerce!
