MM Racing Chapter 38 Speech
Chapter 38 Speech
"The Kong family has already agreed, 20." Xu Ping'an looked at the three of them and said frankly, "Everyone can contribute whatever they want. 50 is enough for the initial stage. As for the remaining 50, I still have some influence in Sushanfang. I can ask around and ask each household. 1000 for a relocation certificate, there will always be someone willing to pay."
Xu Youcai immediately relaxed and smiled, "Why didn't you say so earlier, Uncle? I can still scrape together 10 spirit stones. Any more and I really won't have anything to eat."
Everyone laughed—his family was a traveling merchant, and without some capital, it was indeed difficult to make a living.
The group discussed the details and wrote down an agreement after about half an hour. They signed their names and didn't ask for a notary; they simply had Xu Ping'an act as the middleman.
After signing their names, Xu Youcai and Zhou Shi left first because of the long distance.
The two flew together on paper kites, and as soon as they left the area of Wujialing, the Zhou family cultivator couldn't help but ask, "When he killed that cockroach, did he use seven kinds of spiritual power? At most, did he use 16 acupoints?"
"No, more than that." Xu Youcai had traveled all over the country doing business and his knowledge far surpassed that of the Zhou family cultivators. He said with certainty, "Eight Spirits, he has at least an Eight Spirits Root Dantian; and his acupoints are not just 16, but at least twenty. Just think, just simulating cockroach wings would require more than a dozen, and he also needs central control and spiritual energy gathering."
"Eight-part dantian? Are you sure?" The Zhou family cultivator's eyes widened.
"Confirmed." Xu Youcai nodded. "Except for the ghostly aura, which is not discernible, all other spiritual energies are present. He has at least an eight-part dantian, and very likely a nine-part dantian!"
"Eight or nine acupoints, simultaneously controlling the spiritual energy of 20 acupoints within the body..." the Zhou family cultivator muttered to himself, "Such a cultivation speed, such control of divine sense, is absolutely beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, unless... unless..."
"Unless he has a destiny." The Zhou family cultivator hesitated to voice a certain possibility, so Xu Youcai simply spoke his mind for him, sighing as he said, "A divine sense control comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the intelligence to create spells at the age of 18—this is what a chosen one of destiny looks like."
"Only a natal chart can explain this!" The Zhou family cultivator's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Following such a figure to the Great Wilderness, our future is sure to be bright!"
The conversation had reached the point of parting ways. The Illusion Trial was at the end of the year, and it would be difficult for both families to raise 10 spirit stones in such a short time.
The two men clasped their hands in greeting on the paper kite, wished each other well, and then parted ways, heading straight for their own mountain stronghold.
On the mountain ridge, Chu Huihui gave Cai Fei some spirit stones before summoning her paper kite to bid farewell to Xu Ping'an.
Before leaving, he encouraged Cai Fei, saying, "There is someone in my Chu clan who has a very good chance of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. If you can get more migration permits, I will get more and persuade this person to participate in immigration. With his help, the pressure on your shoulders will be much less."
Every 300 mortal migration permits can be exchanged for one cultivator migration permit. Chu Huihui knew Cai Feican's true nature and knew that he was powerful in the early stages, but he was afraid that he would be powerless after going to the Great Wilderness. That's why she said this.
Cai Fei bowed in thanks and watched the aunt leave.
Chu Huihui is over sixty years old. After years of managing household affairs, her cultivation has not improved. She is currently only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and it is destined that she will never reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Since her birth, the people who have been the best to her are Xu Ping'an and his wife, and the second best is this aunt.
After returning to the academy, Cai Fei will not come back unless necessary, so he can focus on preparing for the exam. If all goes well, the next step is the Illusion Trial, followed by the migration to the Great Wilderness.
After today's parting, the chances of seeing each other again are actually very slim, so he stood under the ginkgo tree and watched his aunt walk away until she was out of sight before turning around.
That afternoon, Cai Fei took the agreement to the brothel and asked Kong Fande to sign it.
He also sold all the fire grass, mole crickets, and materials he had skinned from cockroach corpses, earning over 1000 spirit stones. Then he went on a buying spree of grains, meat, and eggs, returning home laden with his spoils.
As the boy pulled out bags of rice from his storage bag, Xu Ping'an, who was pounding medicine in the yard, didn't stop. He just looked up at him with surprise in his eyes.
"Grandpa, we've already borrowed a million, we absolutely can't deprive ourselves any further." Cai Fei smiled and stuffed a spirit note into the old man's hand. "The academy has a spiritual vein, so I won't need so many spirit stones anymore. Please take this. I'll go hunting later, and everyone can eat as much as they want, eat well. Trust me, I can earn this money back!"
As he spoke, he summoned a paper kite, which leaped up, whistled, and led two black leopards down the mountain.
After spending some time at the academy, this child seems a little different?
Holding the 1000-yuan spirit ticket, the old mountain lord was a little stunned, staring blankly as Cai Fei disappeared into the treetops.
Cai Fei took the leopard down the mountain and first visited the orphanage.
Grandma wasn't home. In the small house where he usually lived, there was something covered by a bamboo cover on the table. He picked it up and took a look.
A dish of dried plum vegetables and three very hard cornbread buns.
The wife of the mountain lord, the daughter of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the old woman who has cooked an egg for Cai Fei almost every day since he was a child, this is what she eats herself!
I can only say that I was really too immature...
Cai Fei gave a wry smile, wiped his face, and took out three pieces of cured meat and several boxes of eggs from his Qiankun bag, placing them under the vegetable cover.
Cai Feizi returned home late that day, but instead of sleeping, he sat in meditation and rested in his room. The next day, he got up at dawn and went out before daybreak.
The early morning shuttle didn't arrive at Sushanfang this early, but he still needed to check out the talisman-making shop, maybe take some business, or bring some materials to the academy.
The moment the kite took flight, he heard the surprised exclamation of the early-rising middle-aged woman.
The yard, which was spotless before I went to bed last night, is now piled high with wild boar, rabbits, and pheasants...
An hour later, when a long line formed at the entrance of the orphanage to receive meat,
Cai Fei arrived at Aolai Academy.
On the stone platform of the Earth Class, the morning training had just ended, and Longhen was about to announce the disbandment when Cai Fei called out from afar.
"Elder Long, please wait five more minutes!"
Ok?
The Disciplinary Committee is back. What tricks are they up to now?
Old Longhen glanced at Feng Xiangguo and the other two who were still tied up by the stone platform, raised his hands and made a few gesturing gestures for everyone to continue sitting, then made way for them.
Cai Fei leaped down, already folding the kite mid-air.
"I'll put them down first." Cai Fei bowed to Long Hen, then walked outside the courtyard, put the daggers from Feng Xiangguo and the other two's collarbone areas into his Qiankun bag, patted them on the shoulders, and said, "Sorry, everyone!"
"Nothing to be embarrassed about! It's just a warning to others. I'm only being made the chicken once, so I'll take the loss." Feng Xiangguo tossed healing talismans to his brothers, saying sinisterly, "But if you can't come up with a way to make money, you'll regret it for the rest of your life..."
Cai Fei did not answer. He leaped back into the courtyard, stood next to Long Hen, took out a question board from his Qiankun bag, and then took out a large piece of paper, which he hung on the question board.
A line of large, eye-catching characters on the white paper immediately caught everyone's attention:
"Gather the spirit stones of Aolai to support one person, seize countless certificates to exile all living beings!"
Cai Fei pointed to the words on the white paper, read them out slowly and deliberately, took a breath, and turned to face everyone: "Don't misunderstand, this 'one person' is just a figure of speech. It could be me, it could be you, it could be him, it could be each and every one of us here, or even several people."
When he first stepped onto the stage, Cai Fei was actually very nervous. In the other world, he might have been a successful person, but after the fusion of souls, he was essentially a newcomer. Everything was new, including this speech to the public.
He spoke very quickly, pointing at the students below the stage with his finger, but his eyes were fixed on his hand, and he didn't dare to look at anyone.
"I know everyone here is poor—in fact, I am poor too. Those who know me know that I come from Wujialing, a place with only two cultivators and a few hundred ordinary people. Our annual income is meager. To put it bluntly, I came here by tightening my belt. If we're talking about poverty, I doubt many of you here are poorer than me..."
Gradually, Cai Fei loosened up a bit. He stared at a classmate in the last row, using him as a target.
"I definitely can't go to the Great Wilderness on my own, I can't rely on you, I can't rely on him, I can't rely on anyone!" Cai Fei pointed at the crowd below the stage, his voice rising, "Unless you go to find Xingyue, to recognize a thief as your father, but since everyone here is sitting here, naturally none of you would do such a thing! Fortunately, we have more than just ourselves to rely on; we have the entire Aolai behind us!"
Cai Fei turned north, pointing at the towering, five-fingered phantom, and said sternly, "Everyone! Aolai has been suppressed for 100 years, all its spiritual veins have been severed, more than half of its people have been trafficked, and all its mineral resources have been stolen! We are trapped on this barren island, at the mercy of others, unable to escape for 100 years! Now, a vast world like the Great Wilderness is open to us, and every Aolai person is yearning for such an opportunity, and only we can help them realize it!"
"My Aolai Island spans a thousand miles, boasting tens of thousands of cultivators and millions of ordinary people. Can't we even afford to send a few people to the Great Wilderness?"
