Chapter 248 Chapters 192-195 A Furious Ride_3
Previously, when Yinglong's speed reached a certain level, he couldn't accelerate anymore. If he flapped his wings then, not only would he not speed up, but it would also create resistance and slow him down.
However, after learning various methods of flying, this issue was largely overcome. Upon reaching that critical speed, by using different techniques in manipulating his wings, Yinglong's speed continued to climb!
Watching the white clouds whizzing by around his body, Xin Yun was so overjoyed that he didn't know how to express himself. This was a speed he had never felt before, not even during the pinnacle of his previous life.
What excited Xin Yun the most was that, with continuous flying and relying on the various flying methods' Soul Imprints inside the Dragon Ball, Yinglong's flying skills became more and more proficient, and his speed kept increasing without any signs of stopping.
Feeling this lightning-fast speed, all three of them were stunned. When flying entered the third hour, Yinglong's speed was almost ten times faster than it had been one and a half years ago! This...
Of course, achieving this speed wasn't something that could be done instantaneously. Given Yinglong's current state, he had to accelerate continuously for two to three hours to reach it. This was a gradual accumulation process and couldn't be achieved in an instant.
A tenfold increase in speed meant that the distance that would have taken over two months, more than 60 days to cover, was now completed in just a week. As the mountain ranges ahead began to appear, Xin Yun could hardly believe his eyes.
Is studying truly useful? This is a question many people ask, but now the facts have provided the most accurate answer. Only under proper training can one master the correct techniques and skills, fly higher and faster! Directing each ounce of strength in the right direction.
Along the way, Xin Yun rested only once for a day, and after a week he successfully arrived at Sword Dragon Canyon. But to their surprise, although they had reached their destination, Yi Luo Xiang was still stuck at Bronze Nine Stars and hadn't developed a second Soul Chain.
With no other choice, the three of them had to land nearby and focus on their cultivation. Under immense pressure, after a week, Yi Luo Xiang forcefully achieved Nine Dragons as One and successfully entered the Silver One Star realm. There, she developed her second Soul Chain.
With previous experience, this time was relatively simple. After continuous effort for more than two hours, Yi Luo Xiang selected a green Sword Dragon and successfully enslaved it.
Up to now, Yi Luo had enslaved one Green and one Purple Emperor Sword Dragon, one named Purple Emperor, the other named Green Emperor—easy to remember. However... while the Purple Emperor had already reached Bronze Nine Stars, the Green Emperor remained in its base form of Rankless One Star.
Originally, Xin Yun thought that Soul Enslavement could freely enslave any wild dragons not higher in rank than himself. But after gaining a deep understanding of Soul Enslavement, Yi Luo Xiang dismissed this notion. The prerequisite for exercising Soul Enslavement is that the target must be in the Rankless One Star form.
As for those below One Star, they hadn't even formed into dragons yet, so how could one enslave them?
After successfully enslaving the Emperor Sword Dragon, the trio set off again. As for where to go next, the two girls didn't know, nor did they understand what to do. They asked Xin Yun, but he just smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
In another year and a half, an economic storm was about to begin. Since Xin Yun already knew about this, he certainly wouldn't miss it. In fact... from the moment he was reborn, Xin Yun had been planning for this day. Now that everything was prepared, and his plan was complete, it was time to put it into action.
The upcoming economic storm was mainly due to the excessive production of Silver, leading to its devaluation. You see... currently one Gold could only be exchanged for ten Silver, but in reality, the quantity difference between the two was a hundredfold. The true value should be one Gold exchanged for a hundred Silver.
There are three types of currency in circulation in this world: Gold, Silver, and copper coins. Although copper coins are in circulation, they are not the main currency and usually serve as change.
As for Gold and Silver, they are the mainstream currencies, especially Silver coins, which are the mainstay of world currency. Gold coins, though also in circulation, have a narrower application.
Addressing the two main currencies, all the major Money shops have issued Currency Notes, which are Gold Notes and silver notes respectively. For instance, what Xin Yun carried in his pocket was a Gold Note, not a silver note.
At present, Silver and Gold could be exchanged at par value. The exchange rate was one Gold to ten Silver. That was Xin Yun's opportunity. Since he already knew Silver was going to devalue, naturally, what he planned to do was to take out loans like mad. After borrowing, he'd directly convert to Gold, and then use that Gold as collateral to continue borrowing!
Carrying Currency Notes worth two hundred million, Xin Yun rushed to the nearest city to exchange Gold Coins for equivalent Gold Ingots, converting money into valuable metal.
Then, using Gold Ingots as collateral, Xin Yun took out loans at the city's bank. Since the collateral was Gold, naturally, he could borrow an amount of equal value. But... Xin Yun chose to borrow Silver coins instead of Gold coins.
At first glance, this might not seem different, but in fact... the difference was huge. As collateral, those 20,000 Gold Ingots belonged to Xin Yun. As long as he returned all the borrowed amount and interest before the loan term, he could take all the Gold Ingots back.
