He had only heard from his father that True Stones were extremely valuable and could compel many Martial Warriors to risk their lives for them.
With possession of a Zhen Stone Vein, they were essentially invincible.
However, he hadn't realized that Martial Warriors were also categorized by grades.
And the difference between Martial Warriors was so vast that it was shocking.
He looked toward the few Martial Warriors beside him and said to them:
"Help me out here, if you succeed, I'll give you shares! Shares!!!"
"I have thirty percent of the shares in my hands! I'll give each of you ten percent!"
"Ten percent of the shares represents a substantial amount of True Stones, as you know! This can greatly enhance your strength!"
As Jiang Chen spoke, his heart ached.
But, at this moment, just being able to survive was good enough.
As for money, it just wasn't a concern anymore.
However.
Even after hearing what Jiang Chen had to say, none of the Martial Warriors showed the slightest interest.
Even if Jiang Chen offered them the entire Zhen Stone Vein, what of it?
They could get their hands on the Zhen Stone Vein, but the key issue was that they also needed to be able to use it.
They had barely agreed when they were instantly killed by Wang Ye.
All those True Stones were just a joke in the end.
Jiang Chen saw that the few Martial Warriors beside him had no intention of helping, and his facial expression grew even uglier.
He went limp, knelt down before Wang Ye, and kowtowed like pounding garlic:
"Wang Ye, I was naive earlier, please let me go, I was naive, momentarily possessed by folly."
However, Wang Ye simply pressed down with his hand, and a two-meter diameter water droplet trapped Jiang Chen within it.
Jiang Chen's face turned black, realizing only at this moment that his earlier thoughts were ridiculously naive to the extreme.
Zhen Stone Vein?
Even if he truly owned a Zhen Stone Vein, it wouldn't amount to much. Those powerhouses who had mastered their strength before the resurgence of True Qi already had their special abilities.
And he, merely dreaming that with the resurgence of True Qi, he could get his hands on such things and be invincible... was simply thinking too much!
Wang Ye turned his gaze to Zhao Min and Fang Feifei, unable to hide the pain in his eyes, and said to them, "Senior sister, wife, it's all right now. I'll take you both back."
...
Xijiang Provincial Government.
Jiang Family.
Someone had always been keeping an eye on Jiang Chen's situation, so as soon as Jiang Chen was captured by Wang Ye, someone immediately reported the incident to Jiang Chen's father.
Jiang Mie.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Mie's vision darkened, and he almost fainted.
Although he had indeed told Jiang Chen that in the possession of a Zhen Stone Vein, many Martial Warriors would come to help.
But the key issue was that those people were not on the same level as Wang Ye!
Wang Ye, a Third Grade Martial Warrior!
And now, in the Dragon Country, how many people possess the strength of a Third Grade Martial Warrior?
Very few!
With the resurgence of True Qi, those whose strength suddenly increased due to this resurgence, can't possibly be as powerful as Wang Ye right away.
Moreover, ordinary people who had not practiced before are now becoming powerful due to the resurgence of True Qi.
So what about those who had already reached out, who had enhanced their strength to that of a Third Grade Martial Warrior before the resurgence of True Qi—would their growth halt?
No... they would also improve!
In this era, they were even at the top, at the pinnacle of existence!
Such beings, they could not provoke, nor dare to provoke.
In an instant, Jiang Mie became as restless as an ant on a hot pan, pacing incessantly around the hall.
"Let's go, find Zhao Han. I heard that Zhao Han has a good relationship with Wang Ye. The five major families in the Xijiang Provincial Government had offended Wang Ye before, but it was Zhao Han who mediated between them, and thus resolved their conflicts," he said.
After speaking, Jiang Mie went to his own room first, took out a highly pure Zhen Stone from his safe, and headed towards the Zhao family.
This particular Zhen Stone was different from the others.
Other Zhen Stones emitted a white glow, but this one radiated a sea-blue color, as if one were looking at the ocean itself.
It had the clear and transparent feeling of the sea.
Even though Jiang Mie did not know what this Zhen Stone was, he knew that this one, being distinct from the others and giving a completely different feeling upon touch, was special.
The sensation that touching this Zhen Stone brought to Jiang Mie was much more comfortable than when touching any other Zhen Stone.
Jiang Mie realized that this Zhen Stone he had found must be different from the others, and if he offered it to Zhao Han, then it was very likely that Zhao Han would be willing to help him with this favor.
Besides, his personal relationship with Zhao Han was actually quite good.
...
Zhao family.
In Zhao Han's office.
Upon seeing Jiang Mie enter, Zhao Han, who was momentarily fatigued from work, instantly revealed a smile on his face.
His good relationship with Wang Ye was something known officially.
And now, due to the resurgence of True Qi, many things needed construction. If any group could seize this opportunity, the benefits they could gain would surely be substantial.
Zhao Han naturally received such benefits.
However, with these benefits came the implication that Zhao Han had to be busier than ever before.
Previously, Zhao Han did not have to spend much time in his office, but this time, once he sat down, he ended up staying for several days.
Zhao Han knew that even though he was very tired, his nephew Wang Ye was probably even busier these days.
After all, the burden now placed on Wang Ye's shoulders was unimaginably heavy.
Zhao Han stood up, smiled at Jiang Mie, and said, "Brother Jiang Mie, long time no see. I heard you discovered that the jade vein you had been unable to mine was actually a Zhen Stone Vein? Oh, Brother Jiang Mie, you must be rolling in it this time."
In Zhao Han's view, befriending Jiang Mie was still very worthwhile.
After all, with a Zhen Stone Vein in his possession, at a time when True Qi had resurged, the wealth on Jiang Mie's person would surely skyrocket.
Even the connections in Jiang Mie's hands would benefit.
It was even possible to surpass the other four major families, not just his own.
