“The strife among the princes of the Royal Feng Family…”

“This is all true!”

“It seems that I must increase my strength as soon as possible!”

“At the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement, I might still be considered among the top experts in Huai Shui County.”

“But in the Luo Mountain Prefecture above Huai Shui County, let alone in the entire Da Feng Dynasty, this level is somewhat lacking.”

Thinking of this,

Luo Changfeng gradually set down the cup of hot tea in his hand.

He casually pulled out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, containing ten top-quality Blood Replenishing Pills.

Opening it, he directly poured out two pills.

He popped them into his mouth and swallowed them with a crunch.

The moment the elixir entered his belly, a tremendous Qi-Blood Force began to circulate within his body.

The Blood Replenishing Pill replenished Qi and blood.

Although these pills were far less potent at enhancing one’s cultivation compared to elixirs like Skin Refinement Elixirs, Bone Refinement Elixirs, and Organ Refinement Elixirs, which were more advanced and required higher skills to concoct,

At least, they were better than nothing!

They were adequate for making do!

…

As soon as the news of the old Emperor’s fall spread throughout the entire Da Feng Dynasty,

The Crown Prince Feng Wumian quickly succeeded to the throne and proclaimed it to the world.

Although Crown Prince Feng Wumian’s ascension was entirely reasonable,

The only territories truly under his command, apart from the capital’s Zijin Prefecture, were no others that heeded the new Emperor’s orders.

It isn’t to say that the other prefectures belonged to the other princes.

It’s just that, the majority of the prefectures now adopted a neutral stance.

It seemed as if they were all watching to see which among the princes would ultimately have the last laugh in their contest for supremacy.

Besides, some prefectures were suffering from chronic droughts, making them somewhat panic-stricken.

Countless bandits declared themselves kings and turned to banditry.

Even some daring family clans openly started financing these bandit forces.

This left some prefectural lords already too preoccupied to care for themselves,

Let alone get involved in the royal family’s troubled affairs.

…

Before long, another three days had passed.

After the old Emperor’s fall and the new Emperor’s successful coronation,

The princes, each possessing formidable forces, returned to their respective territories.

The vast Da Feng Dynasty completely collapsed.

The true age of chaos had thus arrived.

The struggle between countless forces gradually shifted from the shadows into the open.

Above the vast lands of the Da Feng Dynasty, there were forces that chose neutrality.

Naturally, there were also those that outright chose to align with one of the princes.

Among them were naturally the largest number of family clans that threw in their lot with the new Emperor Feng Wumian.

After all, he was the new Emperor.

His position represented the legitimate authority.

Besides the new Emperor, the other two most powerful prince factions were Second Prince Feng Wuhen and Third Prince Feng Wuyi.

Since the maternal clan behind the Second Prince controlled over seventy percent of the Da Feng Dynasty’s high-quality mineral resources,

They naturally had no shortage of iron mines for making weapons and the like.

If one were to speak solely of military strength, Second Prince Feng Wuhen was undoubtedly the strongest.

Behind the Third Prince Feng Wuyi, his maternal clan controlled about half of the dynasty’s salt as well as about half of the food supplies.

Therefore, the Third Prince’s faction was definitely the richest among the princes and never lacked for food and drink.

If the Third Prince was willing, he could even muster an army of a million, two million, even three million in an instant; it was not impossible.

But such actions were clearly futile.

Without enough weapons and armor, as well as sufficient training,

even if they managed to raise so many soldiers,

they would be nothing more than a motley crew.

…

However, no matter how chaotic the outside world was at present,

in Qingshi Town, within Huai Shui County of Luo Mountain Prefecture,

these recent days had appeared increasingly tranquil and peaceful.

Even, as time went by,

this very town of Qingshi began to show signs of flourishing prosperity.

Speaking of this prosperity, one could not help but mention the current Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping.

In matters of great importance, Luo Ping wasn’t quite capable,

but when it came to handling domestic affairs, the Patriarch of the Luo Family was indeed skilled.

He could manage many things in an orderly fashion.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

At this moment, a fierce sun hung high in the sky.

The warm sunshine bathed the land,

causing countless people to squint slightly, enjoying the peace of the moment.

And in Qingshi Town, within the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch handled various trivial matters,

the atmosphere seemed somewhat eerie.

“What did you say?”

“Are you sure your information is correct?”

In the room, Luo Ping, who sat in the main seat handling the governance of Qingshi Town,

suddenly looked up.

His expression was one of disbelief as he looked at his younger brother, Luo An, standing before him.

“It’s almost certain.”

“You should be able to trust my keen sense of business and economics.”

“I don’t know the reason, but…”

“Recently, the value of gold and silver has been depreciating at an extremely high speed.”

“While the value of grains, goods, and minerals, on the other hand, is rising just as rapidly.”

“Therefore, I surmise that unless something unexpected happens…”

“Perhaps it won’t be long before the economy of the Da Feng Dynasty, which is based on gold and silver, might completely collapse!”

…

Luo An’s words slowly echoed in the room where only two people were present.

Luo Ping’s brow was furrowed, his face still filled with disbelief.

It was not that he dared not believe it but that what Luo An was suggesting seemed utterly preposterous.

What did it mean for the economy based on gold and silver to be on the verge of collapse?

This economic system had been in place for who knows how many years.

Now Luo An was abruptly announcing its collapse, which was indeed difficult to accept.

“What do you think we should do next?”

After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Luo Ping suddenly looked up and asked Luo An in a low voice.

“Exchange all our gold and silver for goods as quickly as possible, the sooner, the better.”

“If it’s too late, we might not make it in time.”

Luo Ping swallowed hard and, after hesitating for a moment, asked again, “Are you really certain that gold and silver will soon lose their original value?”

“Even to the point of becoming utterly worthless?”

Luo An fell silent for a moment before replying, “Perhaps, but once the real chaos descends, compared to those useless gold and silver, a large quantity of goods is clearly much more valuable for our Luo Family in Qingshi Town!!!”
