Chapter 50: Return to Family (Part 2)

  Although the Fuwei Gang was just a small gang of horse thieves, after years of plundering and looting, their supplies were quite rich, with grain and various materials filling up the warehouses.

  And also found a box for storing silver tickets, with nearly one million taels of silver inside.

  In the treasury, there were all sorts of precious items, such as pearls, agate, jade, emeralds and so on. Each one was worth several thousand taels of silver or tens of thousands of taels of silver. There were over a hundred pieces in total, with a combined value exceeding one million taels of silver.

  Xuantian used a bundle to pack up all the precious items.

  As for food and other supplies, although selling them to exchange for silver was also a considerable value, Xuan Tian obviously didn't have that much energy or thought left.

  He took some money and treasures from the treasury, and then went to Da Dangjia's residence.

  The silver tickets stored in the treasury are the common property of the entire gang. As the head of the Fuwei Gang, Xuantian can be sure that there is not only the 100,000 taels of silver on his body, but also a lot of private property.

  In the residence of Da Dangjia, after a search, an hidden compartment was found behind a portrait on the wall. At the foot of Da Dangjia's bed, Xuan Tian found a switch and quickly opened the hidden compartment.

  A piece of golden light immediately shone out from the dark grid. Xuan Tian looked over and saw that in the center of the dark grid, there were more than ten pieces of golden leaves placed there.

  "Gold?" Xuan Tian's eyes lit up.

  Jīnzi this thing, in the eyes of ordinary Wudang practitioners, is probably only a legend, but Xuántiān, who comes from the second-rate power of Xuánjiā, naturally has a very clear understanding of Jīnzi.

  Gold is also a circulating currency, just like silver. However, the value of gold far exceeds that of silver, so ordinary people generally use silver. Only some high-level warriors, who trade in extremely valuable goods that cannot be replaced with silver, will use gold.

  A few pieces of gold are worth at least one hundred taels of silver, which is a hundred times more valuable than silver.

  Generally, transactions between top-notch congenital experts can still be satisfied with silver, and gold is rarely used. However, when it comes to strong practitioners at the Earth Stage, the items being exchanged often amount to tens of millions of taels of silver or more, which is when gold starts to be frequently used.

  This Fuwei gang is just a small horse thief gang, yet they have more than ten golden leaves, which really surprised Xuantian.

  Each golden leaf weighs at least ten taels, worth over a thousand taels of silver. Ten or more golden leaves would be tens of thousands of taels of silver. Although it's not a lot, golden leaves are rarely seen and used by martial artists in the Wudao realm.

  In the eyes of a martial artist in the realm of martial arts, gold is not circulating currency, but a treasure. No wonder the master put these dozens of gold leaves as treasures and collected them in his own private space.

  In the secret compartment, apart from a dozen or so gold leaves, there were also many silver tickets. Underneath the gold leaves was a thick stack of them, all in denominations of one thousand taels. By the look of it, there must have been at least several hundred thousand taels there. The private property of the leader of the Fu Wei gang was almost comparable to that of the entire gang itself.

  Xuantian took out both the golden leaf and the silver ticket.

  Below the silver ticket was a tattered piece of cloth. Upon seeing this piece of cloth, a faint tremor ran through Xuan Tian's brow.

  Xuantian's eyes lit up as he carefully examined the tattered scroll, which looked extremely similar to a fragment of a treasure map he had obtained from a nearby market in Tiānjiàn Zōng. Both seemed to emanate an aura of swords.

  Xuantian put the golden leaf and silver ticket into his bosom, immediately took out that old cloth scroll, opened it to take a look, and indeed found that its size was exactly the same as the treasure map in Xuantian's hand, with many things missing from the picture.

  Xuantian immediately took out that treasure map fragment and overlapped them together, amazingly they fit seamlessly.

  The places that are missing from this treasure map, the other one has. The places that are missing from the other one, this one has. Suddenly, the contents of the treasure became richer.

  Unfortunately, however, there are still some common missing things in both treasure maps, which account for about one-third of the total, causing the route on the map to be interrupted and the location of the hidden treasure cannot be found.

  It seems that such a treasure map is still missing one, and the three maps are combined to make the map complete. Otherwise, getting any one or two of them will not work, and the specific location of the treasure cannot be found.

  However, by combining the two incomplete maps, Xuan Tian also got a general idea. He was slightly surprised in his eyes. Although he didn't know the specific location of the treasure, from the route, it should be around Beimang County.

  Beimu County is hundreds of miles in circumference and is also connected to the Beast Wasteland mountain range, with an even broader mountainous area. Even if one knew that the treasure was located near Beimu County, Xuantian would still be unable to determine its exact location.

  I don't know who left this treasure map, but it's actually divided into three copies and scattered in different places?

  Unless the third fragment of the treasure map is found, it will be impossible to determine the specific location of the treasure. Although Xuan Tian was very interested in the treasure on the map, he had no choice but to put it aside for the time being and put the two fragments into his pocket.

  These two incomplete maps were unexpectedly obtained by Xuan Tian, and there is no clue about the third incomplete map at all. It's not worth worrying about it, just adding trouble.

  Those who are destined will obtain the third fragment of the map, while those who are not may never find it in this lifetime.

  After leaving the residence of the eldest son, Xuan Tian searched again in the residences of the second and third sons. The third son was slightly poorer and only hid more than 600,000 taels of silver notes. The second son had fewer hidden silver notes than the eldest son, but still had over 3 million taels.

  For silver notes, Xuantian is more and better, all of them have been collected.

  This time, the destruction of the Fuwei Gang brought a rich harvest to Xuantian. There were only silver tickets, but they reached as much as 3 million taels, and there were also a large number of elixirs, worth more than 1 million taels.

  More importantly, Xuan Tian obtained a fragment of a treasure map, which is the same series as the one on his body, related to the secret of a treasure.

  "It seems that eliminating some bandits can bring in a substantial income, and also rid the common people of harm, truly a win-win situation!"

  Xuān Tiān's heart silently recited.

  Although he said so in his heart, in reality, a small gang with over a hundred or two hundred people would not be something that Xuan Tian would have an interest in massacring without a major reason.

  Killing an enemy and taking unowned money is justifiable, but intentionally killing someone to rob them is not, that's no different from being a bandit.

  A gentleman has things he will do and things he won't do!

  Xuan Tian walked out of the Fu Wei gang with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes and a large bundle, mounted his black Qilin horse and galloped away.

  On the second day, Xuan Tian entered Beimo County. At noon, he arrived at Huangbai Town, about 100 miles away from Beimo County.

  Huang's family settled in Beimeng County, which is in Huangbai Town.

  In just four years, the Huang family in Beimang County, with Huangbai Town as its base, rapidly developed and became the only family that could threaten the three major families of Niu, Cheng, and Zhang in Beimang County.

  Beimeng County has a total of 30 towns, among which the business in the county is monopolized by three families: Niu, Cheng and Zhang. The towns jointly controlled by the three families are thirteen, seven are exclusively controlled by the Niu family, and five each are controlled by the Cheng and Zhang families.

  Other families, all rely on the Cow, Cheng and Zhang three families, in order to get a small share of the pie. If they oppose the three families, the heavy ones will be killed, the family will be destroyed, and the light ones will be driven out of the territory, not allowed to set foot in Beilu County again.

  Huangbai Town was originally a town monopolized by three families: Niu, Cheng and Zhang.

  But since Huang Jia settled in Huangbai Town, everything has changed.

  Many congenital strong practitioners who are enemies of the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families are dissatisfied with the monopoly of the three families. Seeing that the Huang family has the strength to contend with the three families, they are willing to sell the demon cores, fur or minerals obtained from killing demons to the Huang family.

  The Huang family's goods were constantly supplied and the prices were favorable, so they quickly occupied the market of Huangbai Town, squeezing out the three families of Niu, Cheng, and Zhang, and also had a trend of spreading to the surrounding areas.

  The nearby Qingniu Town and Sangyu Town also had their businesses taken over by the Huang family, with all the martial artists in both towns selling accounts for the Huangs.

  The Huang family has not only completely occupied the market in Huangbai Town, but also occupies 90% of the market in Qingniu Town and 60% of the market in Sangyu Town. If this is not stopped, relying on the development of the Huang family, it will not take long for the three major towns of Huangbai, Qingniu, and Sangyu to be completely occupied by the Huang family.

  Although the Huang family's business has three towns, compared to the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families, their foundation is still far behind. But this is not a good omen, the Huang family can develop from zero to three towns, and also develop to six towns, nine towns... Even, in the end, they will snatch away most of the business of the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families.

  This made the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families unbearable. They dominated Beilu County and had also established relationships with some large families in nearby cities, thinking they could occupy the market of Beilu County forever without worrying, making profits and bringing more cultivation resources to their families, making them stronger and stronger. However, the appearance of the Huang family shattered their illusions and made them see the crisis.

  If it were an ordinary family, they would have been driven out of business by the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families long ago.

  However, although there were not many people in the Huang family, their cultivation was not low.

  The Niu, Cheng and Zhang families only have the head of the household with a cultivation base of Three Heavens Realm Third Layer. The Huang family has two experts at the Three Heavens Realm Third Layer. Everyone else is either at the Two Heavens or One Heaven Realm, except for the younger generation children. It's said that there's only one adult who is useless, all the others are high-level cultivators of the First Heaven Realm.

  If they were to force a confrontation with the Huang family, even if the three families of Niu, Cheng, and Zhang could emerge victorious, it would come at a tremendous cost. A cultivator in the Three Realms of Heaven is not an ordinary warrior; if pushed too far, they might resort to mutual destruction, which is not something that the three families would want to see happen.

  The Niu, Cheng and Zhang families only saw the superficial cultivation of the Huang family members, but they didn't know that the Huang family's martial artists were all severely injured, if compared to their original strength, a single finger could annihilate the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families.

  Now, however, I am unable to move, otherwise the wound will worsen and it will be even more difficult to recover in this lifetime.

  "Huangbai Town! I'm back!" Xuan Tian spurred his horse and arrived in front of Huangbai Town, his eyes filled with excitement.

  It's been four years since I last saw my parents, uncle and grandparents. Have they been doing well in their struggles with the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families?
