What a lucky world!

Chapter 232: The state of gathering courage: the art of borrowing luck!

Qianyuan Mountain, drizzle and breeze.

Zhang Mu stood in the pavilion on the top of the mountain and watched the leaders of the various martial arts villages leave by boat.

The negotiation on the road rights of Wuzhai in Taiping County went very smoothly. Part of the reason was that Qianyuan Wuzhai, or Zhang Mu himself, was the most popular one now. Although Qianyuan Wuzhai's soldiers were not yet fully equipped, Zhang Mu alone was enough to sweep away all the leaders of the Wuzhai. The other part was, of course, that the conditions offered by Zhang Mu were indeed tempting.

After all, Zhang Mu promised more silver.

Who doesn’t like white money!
Now the core of Taiping County's road rights is in Zhang Mu's hands. As the profits in this area become higher and higher in the future, the dependence of those martial arts villages on Qianyuan martial arts village will become higher and higher.

It can be said that Zhang Mu has actually accomplished the task of unifying the thirteen military camps in Taiping County that Sha Tonghai had been obsessed with.

"Congratulations, Zhang Zhaizu. From now on, the rights to the Taiping County Wuzhai Road are all in our hands." Master Bai Qi stood behind Zhang Mu. "In the future, my Bai family's business will still rely on Zhang Zhaizu's care."

Zhang Mu glanced back at the grinning Bai Jingqi, then walked over to the stone table and sat down. "As the dignified Seventh Master of the Bai Family, is it appropriate for you to come to my bandit den every day?"

Bai Jingqi sat down opposite Zhang Mu and said with a smile, "It's indeed inappropriate. How about the village chief building me a yard and I can stay in the village from now on?"

Zhang Mu shook his head and didn't respond.

Bai Jingqi stopped talking about this topic and said, "The road rights of Wuzhai cover the entire Taiping County. It will be much easier for us to smuggle salt in the future."

"At least we can take Taiping County's share first!"

Zhang Mu nodded. This was indeed the reason why he dared to promise to each martial village to guarantee the water fee income.

"What's the situation in Yantian?" Zhang Mu asked.

Zhang Mu had previously entrusted the acquisition of the salt fields to the Bai family, and Bai Jingqi came up the mountain this time just for this matter.

"I've bought a deserted island from the mermaids, three hundred miles from the harbor." Bai Jingqi became serious when talking about business. "This month, I will transport three hundred servants to the island. They will stay there and take care of the salt fields."

Seeing Zhang Mu frown, Bai Jingqi quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, they are not people who take advantage of others."

"They are all exiled criminals. I used some trickery to buy them from the jailer."

"These people are being sent to the south to dig canals. If I don't buy them, they won't survive more than three years!"

Zhang Mu nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Is it reliable?"

Bai Jingqi laughed and said, "These people will be reported as having contracted the disease on the road."

"As a rule, they were all burned, leaving no trace of the body."

"No one is investigating, and nothing can be found."

Zhang Mu finally relaxed his brows and asked, "What about the Yan family? How was the strange fish?"

Bai Jingqi's face suddenly showed excitement. "The Yan family members are currently very well behaved and cooperative. I followed your instructions and sent them to the island. So far, there seems to be no problem."

"But that strange fish is really amazing."

"It does have the effect of pure sea salt."

"It's a pity that this batch only has 132 fish, so the production of refined salt cannot be increased."

"One hundred and thirty-two strange fish are enough for now," Zhang Mu said with a smile, "too many might be a bad thing!"

"The luck can't suppress it!"

Bai Jingqi smiled awkwardly, "That's what the village chief said."

Then, Bai Jingqi looked at Zhang Mu again and said, "Old Zhang, speaking of luck..."

"Qianyuan Wuzhai should be not far from becoming a prestigious power, right?"

Although Zhang Mu has always divided forces into Tongmai-level forces, Ningye-level forces, and Judan-level forces in his mind, there is also a clear statement in the "Clan Records".

Like the Yuanwei Escort Agency where Zhang Mu worked before, the highest level of cultivation was only at the Tongmai Realm, which was the lowest level of power and was called a commoner.

Common people cannot provide any luck bonus to the forces, so more depends on the warriors themselves.

Above the common people, there are those like the major martial arts strongholds, who, even if they do not have enough martial luck, can use their luck to bless themselves with masters of the Nascent Soul Realm. They are called poor families.

Poor families have a certain amount of power and luck, and independent forces like Wuzhai can also gather luck money. However, the level of Condensation is the limit.

This is the reason why it is said that it is difficult for a noble son to come from a poor family.

If a poor family moves up a level, it will become a famous family.

"Clan Records" says: Those from famous families can maintain their good fortune and gather courage.

When one reaches perfection in the Judan realm, one will have the hope of touching the mysteries of heaven and earth and reaching the realm of a master who observes heaven and earth.

Therefore, a famous family is regarded as the basic threshold to truly become a powerful force.

"Famous family..." Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After the Qianyuan War ended, he became the leader of Qianyuan Wuzhai. During this period, he revitalized Qianyuan Wuzhai, opened up new ways to make money, and seized the Buddha Chanting Lotus Formation. Today, he has unified the road rights of Wuzhai.

He could feel that the fortune of Qianyuan Wuzhai was indeed on the rise, and it was rising rapidly.

However, Zhang Mu could also feel that Wuzhai's fortune seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

This is the bottleneck in advancing from a humble family to a prestigious one!

But how to break this bottleneck?

Zhang Mu knew the answer in his heart.

That means he breaks through to the Judan realm first!
The relationship between power and people is mutually reinforcing. Power can protect young and weak members, allocate resources, and allow them to grow. When this person grows to the limit of power, he needs to rely on his own strength to achieve a breakthrough, and then feed back to the power, and then start a new round of repetition.

In his previous life, Zhang Mu often heard people say that each generation has its own mission.

Forces and members are spirally upward.

This is true whether it is a small family or a large country.

However, Zhang Mu encountered a problem.

Although everyone saw Zhang Mu's current age and his cultivation level, they all believed that Zhang Mu had the potential to become a master in martial arts.

but!

Zhang Mu knew in his heart that his innate martial luck was tied to the level of his martial arts village.

Wuzhai is a poor family now, so the limit of his innate martial luck is the perfect level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Can't make any breakthrough!
This becomes a paradox!
If he doesn't break through, Wuzhai can't break through; and if Wuzhai can't break through, he can't break through either!

The Möbius strip is all there!
Of course, that doesn’t mean there is no solution at all.

such as--

Ye Hanzhou has the qualities of a master!
Letting Ye Hanzhou break through to the Judan realm first will surely lead to a breakthrough for Wu Zhai as well. Then he will naturally follow suit and raise his innate martial luck to the perfect level of the Judan realm.

but!

Zhang Mu is the leader of a village. Does he have the nerve to take advantage of Ye Hanzhou's talent?

How shameless of him!
"There's no rush..." Zhang Mu waved his hand at Bai Jingqi, "The time is not yet..."

Before he could finish his words, a Tai Chi pattern suddenly appeared before Zhang Mu's eyes. The Tai Chi slowly rotated, revealing new words:

"With the road ahead cut off, I survive by relying on luck."

"The leader of the power has reached its limit with his innate martial luck. The power's development has hit a bottleneck and he needs to rely on luck to move forward."

"The scroll of Heaven's Secret passively triggers the technique of borrowing luck."

"Chance: The art of borrowing luck."

"How to obtain: Kill a person in the Judan realm alone."
