Chapter 16 – An A-Ranked Quest (1/2)
Chapter 16 – An A-Ranked Quest
Late at night, Luo Jianshan’s bedroom.
Luo Jianshan had his hands clasped around his back while he looked out of the window at the darkness with a slight frown on his face.
He was very annoyed at what had happened today at the martial training grounds, especially when Luo Tian kept repeating “Acting Patriarch.” This was like a sharp thorn that kept stabbing in his heart, making him have a hard time enduring.
He allowed Luo Tian to keep living all these years because he needed time to take over the Luo family, especially when it came to restricting the three Elders that were against him.
Even though he still hasn’t completely grasped control of the entire Luo family, he has managed to control ⅔ of the estates and properties of the Luo family.
He was originally planning on using another year to get the remaining ⅓ of the estates, but he couldn’t endure it anymore.
“Lin Er, in addition of gaining first place for this hunting contest, you have another task to accomplish.” Luo Jianshan lightly said.
Luo Lin lightly smiled, “I know father, I’ll get rid of that trash!”
Luo Lin had just heard what happened at the martial training grounds which annoyed the crap out of him. A mere piece of trash with a crippled dantian dared to be so arrogant?
If I was there, I would have viciously stomped Luo Tian to death!
Luo Jianshan’s eyebrows twitched and reminded: “I had secretly observed Luo Tian with my profound energy and he should be at the Profound Pupil 5th rank. He must be gotten rid of during the hunting contest but it’s best that you don’t personally do it. You are the future young master of the Luo family so if you personally made a move, it will affect your image and my image. Do you understand?”
Being accused of assassinating the young master would be a huge deal. Since Luo Jianshan wanted to assume the title of the Luo family’s Patriarch, he couldn’t leave behind any evidence for people to use against him.
“I can’t personally kill him?”
Luo Lin sneered with a bored expression, “Don’t worry father, I have thousands of ways for a piece of trash to die without a corpse left in the Ghostly Mountain Range!”
Luo Jianshan nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with Luo Lin’s performance. No matter if it was his talent in cultivation or his intellect, he had never been disappointed.
He believes that for this hunting contest, his son’s performance will be perfect.
Immediately after…
Luo Jianshan brought out a thumb sized crystal that gave off a faint light. The light diffused into the environment and a thick profound energy filled the entire bedroom.
Luo Lin’s eyes were filled with shock and excitedly asked: “Father, is this a xuan stone?”
Xuan stone, an item formed by nature. It contained thick profound energy and was a martial cultivator’s ultimate treasure.
Xuan stones were separated into high, middle, and low grades. The higher the grade, the thicker the profound energy. The xuan stone that Luo Jianshan took out was low grade quality xuan stone. For such a low grade xuan stone, it had already cost the family 10,000 gold which was almost a fifth of the entire Luo family’s net worth.
Apart from Luo Xiaoshan, the other four Elders opposed the decision of buying the xuan stone.
Luo Jianshan ignored their opposition and still purchased the xuan stone to supplement the first place winner’s reward.
His goal was to give it to his son Luo Lin.
At the Profound Pupil 8th rank, he was the strongest person in the Luo family’s youngest generation.
No one was his match in this hunting contest.
He will no doubt gain first place.
Luo Jianshan smiled and said: “Lin Er, no matter where you are and whatever move you need to make, you have to remember that in this world, strength dominates everything.”
“Hold onto this xuan stone. Apart from getting first place and getting rid of Luo Tian during this hunting contest at the Ghostly Mountain Range, you need to break through to the Profound Pupil 9th rank. As long as you break through, all those voices of opposition will be drowned out by you. And no one will dare bring up my act of purchasing this xuan stone anymore.”
A seventeen year old at the Profound Pupil 9th rank – just this alone and no one in the Luo family will have a reason to rebuke him.
Within Luo Jianshan’s plans, this wasn’t the only thing as his face revealed a proud look. “Seventeen years old… being at the Profound Pupil 9th rank will reach the standard of being an outer disciple at the Green Cloud Sect. As long as you can become a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect, the Luo family or even the entire Jade Mountain City would not dare to mess with you.”
Luo Jianshan was well intentioned.
He had planned everything around this.
