I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 748

“In fact, the Underground Ceremony has been running for quite some time. Usually, precious resources can be found in such ceremonies!” said Lin Jiu.

“Precious resources? Are those the resources required by the Cultivators for their cultivations?” Chen Hao nodded his head in recognition.

“Yes, sir. Not only can precious resources be found, some rare magical tools might be present too. To lay people, they are just mere valuables. However, they are priceless treasures to the Cultivators.”

“Where there are resources, there will be competition. Therefore, at this time of the year, some Cultivators would always break into the city regardless of their agreement to join the fight over the resources.”

“Of course, there are lay people who have managed to obtain the magical tools. I’m not sure if you have noticed, Sir, but Cultivator families will usually back up those lay people families who manage to get hold of the magical tools, and keep them and everything else under their control!” said Lin Jiu.

After listening to him, Chen Hao nodded.

Indeed. His own family possessed magical tools. Everything looked normal and peaceful on the outside despite the fact that his family too was supported by another Chen Family.

If lay people families received a magical tool, they ran the risk of being reduced to a puppet.

“Did you go undercover into the city in order to look for the many Cultivators here with concealed identities who might be all around us?” asked Chen Hao.

“Sir, you’re right. If I don’t lie low and am discovered by other concealed Cultivators, I will definitely be ambushed and attacked by them,” said Lin Jiu.

“In this case, is the Wan Family from the Ji Province trying to provide a platform for the fighters, so that the resources can be distributed in a reasonable manner in advance through certain means?” asked Chen Hao.

“That’s right, Sir. The Underground Ceremony is similar to the Martial Arts Ceremony. Numerous Cultivators will attend the ceremony under the disguise of wealthy businessmen or lay people. They will join the fight by joining forces with some big families.”

“According to rumours, the fighter or the family who wins the fight will be entitled to become the leader of everyone else. The excavation of the magical cave at Mount Taiwu will be led by the family who wins, and they will take a role akin to the leader of the martial arts world.”

“Has a magical cave already been found in Mount Taiwu?” asked Chen Hao.

“Yes, it has been found!”

“So what you’re saying is, the Wan Family is the organizer of the fight, but is one of the participants at the same time?” asked Chen Hao.

“Exactly. However, the organizer does not automatically become the leader. This year, I decided to just join the Duan Family in order to better examine the situation, unlike the rest of the Cultivators who have joined forces with some other large families.”

With his explanation, Chen Hao finally understood how everything went.

He thought about that letter from Master Ghost.

He supposed the reason Master Ghost was urging him to participate in the Underground Ceremony organized by the Wan Family was because he himself was interested to join.

Could the secret regarding his diaphragm be found in the magical cave in Mount Taiwu?

The more Chen Hao thought about it, the more likely it became.

Also, he finally understood the reason why Master Ghost was still lying low up until now.

As it turned out, although the Ji Province still looked calm on the outside, an unseen turbulence was in fact surging underneath the guise.

It was unknown as to how many Cultivators had blended into the city.

Since Master Ghost had already given him hints that the treasure hidden inside the magical cave would come in handy for him, Chen Hao was determined to procure it.

Although he was already a very strong fighter now with extraordinary skills and confidence, he always remembered that there would always be someone better than him ever since the incident involving the King of Nine Doors.

Because of that, Chen Hao preferred to keep a low profile.

On the other hand, his conversation with Lin Jiu had enlightened him the possibility of going undercover into a large family in order to better observe the Cultivators who were joining the fight. He could then gauge their skills before forming a plan.

“Where is the Underground Ceremony going to be held?” inquired Chen Hao after some thought.
