Chapter 594: Zhuo Family’s Calculation_1
"How could we possibly be at a disadvantage, compared to Jin family’s strength? Elder brother, I believe we shouldn’t solely consider seizing the martial arts secret manual, we should think further ahead."
Zhuo Kun’s gaze was filled with cunning.
"Let’s hear your thoughts."
Zhuo Kun stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Su Cheng is a cultivator. If we can secure him and exploit his abilities, having him produce elixirs for us, within a few years our Zhuo family will rise even higher, becoming a true noble family."
Within Danyang province, or even the entire eastern six provinces, the Zhuo family was considered first-class, but not yet noble. Viewed from the whole of Xia Country, the Zhuo family just didn’t have that level of influence.
However, if the Zhuo family managed to subjugate a cultivator, harnessing his ability to produce a steady stream of spirit pills, the Zhuo family would surely rise exponentially.
This was especially relevant to the family patriarch, who, despite being a Martial King Realm practitioner, was advancing in years and had been plateauing in cultivation for several years.
In the path of cultivation, if one stagnates they regress. The Zhuo family patriarch no longer had hopes of advancing to the Martial Saint Realm, unless assisted by the miraculous spirit pills.
Zhuo Qian’s eyes brightened, after a moment’s thought, he said, "If we truly can harness him for our family, it could indeed be an opportunity to rise. However, this man managed to slay Jin Zhenghao. I fear his strength is no less than that of a Seventh Rank Martial Marquis. In addition, it is not easy to subjugate a cultivator who can traverse earth and sky."
Even though Zhuo Qian was an Eighth Rank Martial Marquis, he did not have confidence in harnessing the cultivator, Su Chengyu. Merely the ability of sword flight, a trait of cultivators, made martial artists feel inadequate.
Unless one’s martial arts had transcended to the Martial Saint Realm, allowing them to soars through the clouds and airspace, their speed would never match that of a sword-flying cultivator.
