Miracle Throne

Chapter 243: Qing State

The Four States Lake, the largest lake in the Southern Summer Country. There was Central State to the west, Thunder State to the north, Southern State to the south, and Qing State to the east.

The entire lake covered an area of four hundred thousand kilometers squared. There were plenty of aquatic products with no dangers from miles upon miles. Most of the rivers in the Southern Summer Country came from the Four States Lake, so the Four States Lake had a great significance to the Southern Summer Country.

After Chu Tian gained control of the Giant Shark Gang, he wanted to bring the Four State Lake under his control, which also meant strangling the national shipping hub. This had a significant meaning and would provide power to Miracle Commerce. It was very clear that this advantage would allow both Miracle Commerce and the Giant Shark Gang to grow even stronger.

For example, personally heading to Qing State, Chu Tian did not have to worry about his safety because there was no power that could go up against the Giant Shark Gang. With Miracle Commerce being the Giant Shark Gang’s boss, did he have to worry in his own territory?

“Chairman!” Old Fifth Yu entered the cabin and said, “We’ll arrive in Qing State in another two hours.”

“Remember, I am not Chu Tian. Right now, my name is Yu Changge and I am a outer affairs junior chairman for Miracle Commerce.” Chu Tian was wearing a brocade merchants robe and had disguised himself to look a little older, seeming to be around twenty four-twenty five years old. There was no one that could see through his disguise, “Establish a port in Qing State and don’t attract the enemy’s attention, as well as avoid the causing unnecessary trouble.”

“Yes!” Old Fifth Yu respectfully said, “I will remember this.”

“Good, then leave for now!”

Chen Bingyu was sitting opposite to him with black clothes and a black veil. Although one couldn’t clearly see her face, from her high peaks, her full, round buttocks, and her pair of long, slim legs, one could tell that she wasn’t ordinary.

“Why are you changing your name?” Chen Bingyu’s icy cold voice had a strong confidence hidden inside, “With me protecting you, no one will be able to hurt you.”

This woman was already set on becoming his bodyguard.

Not bad, not bad, she really was enlightened!

Chu Tian was worried that a proud person like Chen Bingyu wouldn’t want to be his bodyguard, but now it seemed like he was just thinking too much.

“You clearly have a good face and wouldn’t lose even compared to the young miss.” Chu Tian looked over her perfect body and his eyes fell on her face. He then asked back, “Why do you like wearing veils so much?”

Chen Bingyu knit her brows, “Looks are useless, they just bring more trouble!”

Looking at what this woman said.

Which girl in this world didn’t like looking beautiful? Only Chen Bingyu thought that her beauty was a burden. Was her head completely focused on cultivation and she didn’t even think about matters between men and women? How could that be!

Did she suffer a traumatic experience in her youth that turned her into this?

“The reason is the same.” Chu Tian grabbed the large gourd to give Chen Bingyu a cup of honey wine, “We aren’t going to Qing State to cause trouble, just to buy some ores. It would be best to not cause trouble, so we’ll buy the ore, take over, and then immediately leave without exposing ourselves. After all, there has been no movement from Imperial City, so we can’t leave Central State for long.”

Chu Tian was a youth with a sense of justice and a close friend of woman, so he had to think of a way to affect this woman and let her feel the love and warmth of this world!

“Come, have a sip!”

Chu Tian placed the cup in front of Chen Bingyu.

Chen Bingyu was not a glutton, but she liked the honey wine Chu Tian used his gourd to make. This wine’s taste was secondary and the most important thing was its use value. After all it was made ten thousand year old spiritual honey, thousand year old Yuan Essence Grass, and other materials. Not only could it quickly recover spirit energy, it also had an effect on one’s cultivation base.

“I feel like calling you by your name is too impolite and calling you aunt like Nangong Yun doesn’t seem right, after all, you don’t seem that much older.” Chu Tian drank his cup of wine, “How about I call you elder sister Bing from now on?”

Chen Bingyu’s long eyebrows trembled.

“Since you haven’t said anything, I’ll take it as silent agreement.” Chu Tian was a model example of taking advantage of others. He immediately came closer and gave Chen Bingyu another cup, “Is elder sister Bing worried about something?”

“I’m not?”

“Then why are you so depressed everyday?” Chu Tian asked in a curious voice, “Your innate talent is not worse compared to Chu Xinghe, after all, you were a rogue cultivator by birth. Although you became a guest official of the Nangong Family, you would have obtained limited resources and the Nangong Family’s cultivation technique is not suited to you, so being able to have your cultivation at such a young age is not a simple thing.”

Chen Bingyu slightly knit her brows. She did not hate Chu Tian and in face admired him, however she wasn’t used to having people close to her and caring for her.

“Are you worried about something?” Chu Tian could see something strange in Chen Bingyu’s expression, “Everyone is weak. If there are some problems, then I can help you solve them!”

Chen Bingyu looked at him, “You can’t help me.”

“What a joke!” Chu Tian was a little unhappy, “Are you looking down on me? Don’t call it as bragging, but even if you wanted the stars, I could pluck them out of the sky for you!”

Her heart skipped a beat.

After all these years, she had gradually given up, but these words from Chu Tian lit a small flame in her heart. Others have said this and she ignored them, but perhaps this person can really do it…..Perhaps he could help me take revenge!

Chen Bingyu revealed a trace of bitterness, “Forget it.”

“What do you mean by forget it?”

“You shouldn’t ask and I don’t want to talk about it!”

“It’s fine, but I hope that you’ll understand that since you’ve joined us, you are one of us.” Chu Tian could see that Chen Bingyu really was worried about something, but because of a special reason, she wasn’t willing to share it. Chu Tian gave her another cup of wine, “Miracle Commerce is your home and if there are any problems, don’t keep it to yourself.”

That jade cup filled with light gold liquid reflected Chen Bingyu’s complex expression.

Chu Tian’s sudden concern made her feel emotional.

She had been alone since she was young, so could she really fit into this group?

Old Fifth Yu came in again, “Sir Chairman, we’ve arrived at the dock!”

Qing State, as the name suggested was a dark green state. Woods and mountain covered 90% of the state with rough terrain and high mountains all over, however Qing State was the state that had the most resources.

Because Qing State was filled with resources, they exported a lot of them, making the Qing State harbour look very prosperous. There were merchants from the other states and even merchants from other nations.

The Giant Shark Gang had already secretly sent troops into Qing State and were preparing to build a warehouse and docks. The news of Qing State City discovering the Ultra Wave Stone was also sent back by this advance unit.

“Have you contacted them already?”

“Please be assured chairman. We have already contacted them and they’ll be here tonight!”

“Take out a map first.”

The Qing State map clearly showed the landscape of the state.

Qing State was different from Central State. Central State was mainly covered in plains and Qing State was covered in mountain forests. The most famous one was known as “Green Dragon Ridge”, commonly known as “Green Ridge”!

Green Ridge was five thousand and three hundred kilometers in length and completely divided Qing State. It was known as the number on mountain ridge in the Southern Summer Country!

From the map of Qing State, they could tell how majestic Green Ridge was. It was like several large dragons dividing the earth, splitting Qing State in half. Even the “Qing” character from Qing State came from this mountain ridge’s name. The Green Ridge was rich with minerals, making up over 80% of the resources in Qing State!

The Green Ridge was a natural barrier, cutting off the entire state, isolating west and east Qing State. So how did they go past this mountain ridge? Of course there was a way!

The people of Qing State, through long periods of exploration and development had found six different passages through Green Ridge which they named the “Six Green Ridge Trails”.

The six different paths were not the same. There were five paths that were narrow and winding, passing through very dangerous areas or passing through demon beast’s territories, with many places that were thing as a wire. There was only a single path that carts could pass through, only the trail called “Green Dragon Trail” that was straight and wide. It was the official trail of Qing State used to transport resources and move armies.

This “Green Dragon Trail” was the bridge that connects east and west Qing State with several hundred mines and lumber farms being to the left and right, making it more convenient to transport.

The crystal that Chu Tian wanted to examine was also on the “Green Dragon Trail”.

“The Qing State having the most resources really was not false.” Chu Tian carefully looked over the map and couldn’t help giving some praise, “Just this single Green Ridge contains several hundred varieties of ores, several thousand varieties of precious herbs, and countless rare beasts and birds, it really is a good place. Qing State’s environment is very complicated so it isn’t developed. Because the development is low, this place is a very good opportunity for our company.”

Why was Chu Tian developing this company?

Wasn’t it to make sure that his forces could get good resources!

The resources that Qing State had surveyed was only 5%, but it was still quite considerable. If Miracle Commerce could spread their influence here in the future, Qing State could become a giant resource source for them. Depending on the Giant Shark Gang superiority of the Four States Lake, Miracle Commerce could develop even faster.

“They’re already here.”

“Is your excellency chairman Yu Changge?” A fatty with large ears came in. He quickly reached out to shake Chu Tian’s hand and he said with a smile, “Blessed meeting, blessed meeting. This lowly one is Shen Yuan, I greet chairman Yu!”

When he said this.

He released his hand and looked at Chu Tian with a surprised gaze, “I never thought that chairman Yu would go on a foreign mission at such a young age, I really am filled with admiration towards you.”

This damn fatty’s manner was a little strange.

“Chairman Shen is too serious.” Chu Tian got right to the point, “I don’t like to waste time and you should already know that. Have you brought what we wanted with you?”

“I can’t forget, I can’t forget!” The fatty signaled to the person behind him, “Immediately bring out the crystal for them to inspect!”

The two of them carried a large box in. When they opened it, light was instantly released. It was a row of transparent crystals.

Chu Tian picked one up to examine it.

The Ultra Wave Crystal was very special and released a strong energy, so it was very easy to recognize. Chu Tian could tell with a single glance that it was the item that he wanted.

This was great, he had finally found it!
