Ball Ball Cultivation
Chapter 221 Recruiting More People
The fat man knelt down in front of Qiuqiu and said, "Fairy, my name is Jin Yuanbao. I took over my father's business at the age of sixteen and became the richest man in Jiang Country in eight years. I am willing to offer all my family property. I hope Fairy will give me the opportunity to serve you."
Qiuqiu found it a bit unbelievable that both of them were following the same pattern. Yao Yuan, who was in charge of the matter, hadn't returned yet. He asked, "Why are you all bowing down and wanting to follow me?"
Jin Yuanbao licked his cute chubby face and tried to smile to look adorable. He replied, "Although there is a Golden Dragon Meeting every year, there are only three elixirs each time. These elixirs are brought here by the immortals, and they will also collect some things they like."
"The royal family and nobles of Jiang State, as well as some particularly wealthy families, all know that an immortal might appear at the Golden Dragon Conference. If they see an immortal, it would be best if they could stay by his side and serve him."
"In previous years, there have always been such lucky people who were accepted by the immortals. Besides, I sincerely want to follow the immortals. Even if I don't succeed, it will be a relief."
Now everyone understood that this kind of thing often happens when the Golden Dragon Society in the secular world recruits talents. No wonder Yao Yuan and Jin Yuanbao's behavior of worship is so similar.
Qing Heng: "Test his spiritual roots. If he has spiritual roots, let him sign a servant contract with Qing Xu."
His eldest son is smart and clever, and a news reporter can't make any waves in his hands.
But his youngest son was a kind-hearted man, an absolute genius in weapon forging, and it would be best if he had a clever servant who he could fully control.
Jin Yuanbao saw a white stone appear out of thin air in Qiuqiu's hand, and he held it in his palm as required. This was the moment that would decide his own fate. His palms began to sweat unconsciously, and it felt like every second was passing several years.
In just three breaths, a golden light flashed from his hand, followed by green, blue, red and yellow colors flashing in turn, but they were all relatively weak, only the gold was the most dazzling.
It is quite rare for the secular world to have two people with spiritual roots. The fat man who had been serving nearby was filled with envy when he saw everything happening before his eyes.
Qiuqiu put the spirit stone into Panghu's hand and said, "You guys try it too."
Unfortunately, the thin man held the spirit stone for a long time but there was no response.
"You have no spiritual roots." Wuqing announced.
Looking at the fat man, he said, "You have the worst aptitude among the five spiritual roots. Without great opportunities in the world of cultivation, this kind of spiritual root basically stops at the foundation-building stage. Moreover, there is a barrier separating the secular world and the world of cultivation. If you go to the world of cultivation, you will be at the bottom. Now you are the richest man in the secular world, and everyone is chasing you. Are you sure you want to go to the world of cultivation with us?"
Although Jin Yuanbao didn't understand many things, it was not easy for someone to become the richest man in the country, so he understood the meaning clearly.
He would rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken, and he doesn't necessarily have to be the tail of a phoenix if he goes to the world of cultivation. As long as he can show his own value, there is nothing he can't get!
"I am willing to follow my master to the world of cultivation."
Qiuqiu stopped trying to persuade her: "If you have anything unfinished, go and tell it to us quickly. We will return to the cultivation world tomorrow."
Jin Yuanbao: "I don't have any unfinished business. My mother took back the family property and handed it over to my second brother to manage."
The man next to him suddenly came out to make his presence felt: "Grandpa Jin Yuanbao was a seventh-rank military officer in Song City. He married a woman named Song, a daughter from a branch of the largest family in Song City. They were quite good at making money. By the time Jin Yuanbao's father took over the family business, they were the richest people in Song City. However, they were no longer officials, but merchants."
"His father married a woman named Wang, but the Wang family was an official family, so they married a concubine who was adopted as their legitimate daughter. The eldest woman, Wang, had a difficult labor when giving birth to Jin Yuanbao, and died in less than six months after being bedridden. The youngest woman, Wang, was originally destined to marry a young official, but he died, and she became a widow."
"After the eldest Wang died, Xiao Wang married her brother-in-law less than three months later, under the pretext of taking care of her nephew. She gave birth to her second son just over half a year after their marriage. When Jin Yuanbao was sixteen, his father was ambushed while entertaining others. Upon returning home, he saw Xiao Wang and a wandering Taoist priest plotting with him, having dismissed his servants. The two quarreled violently, and soon after, Xiao Wang fell seriously ill and died."
"After that, Jin Yuanbao was engaged three times. Each time, the woman either fell into a coma or broke her leg. The last time, when she heard her family wanted her to be engaged to Jin Yuanbao, a man who was unlucky in marriage, she decided to elope with her cousin. Walking down a mountain path in the middle of the night, she fell down the hillside and died, completely confirming Jin Yuanbao's fate of being unlucky in marriage."
"Now the 24-year-old richest man in Jiang State doesn't even have a wife or concubines. He might have an accident on the way back, and it's not certain whether he can save his life."
Jin Yuanbao's face was now covered in tears. "Who are you? Is this all true? Is mother just my aunt? It turns out I'm not her biological child. No wonder she treated me so well on the surface, but was so cold to me behind my back. When I was five years old, I accidentally fell into the water and almost died. My grandmother took me in and raised me. She taught me all the business skills step by step."
The thin man said: "I am Swift Eagle from Tianji Pavilion."
A look of surprise flashed across Jin Yuanbao's face: "Just tell me, was my grandmother and father killed by that woman?"
Swift Eagle: "From what we've gathered, your mother may have discovered Xiao Wang and your father's affair while she was ill, which worsened her condition and likely drove her to death. Your grandmother must have thoroughly investigated them both when you were five and discovered Xiao Wang's true identity, but for the sake of her son, she kept the truth from you. She simply protected you and raised you, teaching you skills. Your father wasn't particularly gifted in business, and he was often tricked. It was your grandmother who cleaned up the mess behind the scenes, maintaining a semblance of glory."
"Little Wang didn't mean to harm him. She just wanted to delay the illness and gain some benefits for your arrogant but incompetent brother. Unexpectedly, she was powerless in the end and died young."
"When your grandmother learned that your father had died at such a young age, she was overwhelmed with grief. She eventually discovered that it was Xiao Wang who delayed his illness. The Wang family behind this was already a fourth-rank prefect. Unable to avenge her son openly, they resorted to hiring a killer. However, she was in poor health and hadn't been in charge of the family for over a decade. Xiao Wang's spies were around, and she exposed herself, allowing Xiao Wang to seize the evidence. Song ultimately died of illness without being able to seek revenge, a bitter death."
Qiuqiu: The relationships among wealthy families are so complicated! He asked, "How did you manage to investigate so thoroughly?"
Xun Ying blushed a little: "The Jin family is our main client. This time we went to Beijing to secretly rescue Boss Jin and then sell him the information. This is my main business."
