A million Spirit Crystals is just a piece of cake?
If they hadn’t seen Zhang Ruochen casually smashing out hundreds of thousands of Spirit Crystals with their own eyes, Chang Qiqi and Si Xingkong would have really wondered if Zhang Ruochen was crazy!
Even for a county with a population of tens of millions, it was never easy to accumulate millions of spirit crystals. Not to mention the power of an individual?
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s serious and earnest look, Chang Qiqi’s heart was stunned, could there really be a great thing about making money. He asked excitedly, “Really …… really?”
“Of course it’s true, but ……”
Zhang Ruochen said without slowing down, “I have to tell you guys in advance that this matter is quite dangerous, and it’s likely that you’ll get killed.”
Chang Qi Qi’s blood, which was originally boiling, instantly cooled down, however, soon his eyes became firm and said, “The path of martial arts is originally licking blood from the tip of a sword, how can there be anything that is not dangerous? I’m not the heir of one of those Half-Saint families, I simply don’t have enough resources, if I don’t even work hard myself, how can I become a strong person? Doing quests, although I can earn merit values and exchange them for resources, I will waste a lot of cultivation time. If I could get a million spirit crystals, I would be able to purchase enough cultivation resources to focus on cultivation.”
Chang Qi Qi’s pursuit was not high, in this life, if she could cultivate to the Heavenly Extremity Realm Grand Circle Realm, it would already be quite a remarkable achievement, enough to establish a powerful family.
If he followed his current cultivation progress, it was estimated that he would not be able to earn a million spirit crystals in his entire life, and it would be even more of a rather remote matter to cultivate to the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle.
Right now, an opportunity was in front of him, if he didn’t seize it, there would definitely not be a next time.
“Dry up!” Chang Qi Qi said with firm eyes.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed on Si Xingkong as he asked, “Eldest Brother, what about you?”
Si Xingkong glanced towards Zhang Ruochen and laughed, “As the saying goes, wealth and riches are at risk. If you don’t dare to take risks, how can you train a strong martial heart? I’ll do it too!”
Chang Qi Qi said with some urgency, “Senior Brother Zhang, speak quickly! What exactly is it?”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze looked towards the night, seemingly sensing something and revealing a guarded expression, he said, “This is not the place to talk, go to my cultivation mansion first and then discuss it slowly.”
Only after Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yichen, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi left did Chen Xier step out from the shadow of a three-metre-high boulder statue, outlining a slender and slender figure.
Under the light, Chen Xi’er’s cheeks appeared extraordinarily fair, as if covered in a layer of jade wax, and her eyes revealed a wonderful expression, as if she was talking to herself, ”Zhang Ruochen and cousin are indeed hiding a big secret, what exactly are they plotting? A million spirit crystals, is it that good?”
Chen Xi’er’s fingers rested on her chin, the corners of her crystal red mouth slightly hooked upwards, revealing a hint of a charming and playful smile.
This auction could be said to be one in which several families were happy and several were sad.
For Yan Yunyun Fantasy, tonight, it was definitely a sleepless night.
He used his protective jade token as collateral, and finally, at the auction house, claimed his storage bracelet and storage ring.
However, before he could even warm it up, the storage ring was claimed by Chen Xier, leaving him with a space bracelet with only twelve cubic metres of internal space.
Yan Yunyue sat on the chair and thought for the whole night, his eyes were dull, even his eyes were red from thinking, and ultimately he felt that he should never have come to the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
Early the next morning, he was ready to pack his bags and leave this one sad place.
Although he had suffered heavy losses, but, at least in last night’s auction, he had suppressed Zhang Ruochen in terms of momentum and achieved an absolute victory, which should have left a good image for sister Xi’er.
In all things, one should think of the good things!
After thinking it through, Yan Yunyi was in a slightly better mood and prepared to go and bid farewell to Chen Xi’er.
The sun was rising, and the sunlight, like a golden thread, spilled into the Heavenly Demon Martial City.
At this moment, one of the Yan Clan elders who had come to the Heavenly Demon Ridge with Yan Yunyun Fantasy walked in and told Yan Yunyun Fantasy a piece of news.
After hearing this news, Yan Yunyun Fantasy stood up with an open heart, his body exuding a mountainous aura as he said in a deep voice, “What, there’s even this matter?”
That one Yan Clan Elder said, “This morning, the entire Heavenly Demon Martial City has been spread. The owner of those five spatial treasures is indeed the Silver-robed Elder Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Lei Jing, and Zhang Ruochen is Lei Jing’s disciple. Now, should Your Excellency understand what is going on?”
It was as if Yan Yunyi had been struck by five thunderbolts, his mind going blank as three words surfaced in his mind, “Pitied!”
Yan Yunyi hurriedly grabbed the shoulders of that one clan elder, his facial expression extremely distorted, grimacing as he said, “The auction was last night, how could the news have spread out so quickly, it must be that someone is intent on spreading rumours, right? Right?”
That one Yan Clan elder sighed, “In fact, before the auction began, Lei Jing had already written letters to the helmsmen of the various major powers in the Sky Demon Ridge, inviting them to participate in the auction. Therefore, many people have long known that the owner of the spatial treasures is Lei Jing, and even more so, they know that Zhang Ruochen is the ‘trustee’ invited by Lei Jing.”
“Boom!”
Yan Yunyue was like being struck by lightning once again, his entire body was dumbfounded as he loosened his grip on the Yan Clan Elder’s shoulders and muttered to himself, “That is to say …… last night, everyone knew that Zhang Ruochen was a trustee, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark, as if I was a fool, and haggled with Zhang Ruochen and thought that I had won him …… Haha …… Zhang Ruochen …… Zhang Ruochen, I have to kill you!”
Yan Yunyue lifted the sword that was placed on the table and rushed out onto the street, shouting Zhang Ruochen’s name as he darted in the direction of the Martial City Academy.
Those martial artists in the Heavenly Demon Martial City saw this scene and instantly thought of the interesting incident that happened at the auction house last night.
“It seems that that one, Duke Yan, already knows that he’s been punked and is going to go find Zhang Ruochen to fight for his life.”
“What kind of Yan Duke is that, he’s just a stupid fool, I’m really worried about the Yan Clan’s future.”
“It can’t be said that way, Yan Yunyue is after all a top powerhouse ranked 375th on the Earth Ranking, his martial arts cultivation is not something that Zhang Ruochen can compare to, it seems like there’s going to be another good show!”
“That’s not necessarily true, Zhang Ruochen knows that he’s not Yan Yunyi’s opponent, so he might have long since gone into hiding.”
“I hope he’s already hiding, otherwise, with Yan Yunyue’s current mood, he might kill him with a sword slash.” Someone said worriedly.
……
…………
Just as Yan Yunyue carried her sword and darted through the streets, Chen Xier arrived at Huang Yichen’s cultivation mansion.
Seeing Chen Xi’er, Huang Yichen did not have a good face and snorted coldly, saying, “What are you doing here?”
“Cousin, we’re good sisters who grew up together, can’t I come to pay you a visit?”
Gently touching the spatial storage ring worn on her finger, she deliberately flaunted it in front of Huang Yichen’s eyes.
Huang Yichen revealed a cold look and also gently touched the purple spatial pendant hanging on her chest, secretly saying in her heart, this is the real spatial treasure, the one you have is nothing more than a remnant.
That one purple space pendant, which Zhang Ruochen had given to her last night, had a storage space of two thousand eight hundred cubic metres, and moreover, it also had the functions of owner recognition and body protection.
Of course, Huang Yichen would not tell Chen Xi’er about it, allowing Chen Xi’er to wear a defective item and continue to show off.
Huang Smokey said, “Chen Xi’er, if you’re only here to show off that one storage ring, I advise you to go back before it’s too late!”
Chen Xi’er’s beautiful eyes slightly raised as she directly opened the door and said, “Cousin, you and Zhang Ruochen should be going to explore that ancient cave that was left behind in the Middle Ages, right?”
Huang Yichen’s eyes narrowed as he said, “What ancient cave?”
Chen Xi’er laughed, “It’s that ancient cave where Zhang Ruochen found the five spatial treasures… Could it be that cousin, you’re even trying to hide it from me?”
Huang Yichen coldly hummed, “I don’t know, what are you talking about.”
Chen Xi’er said, “If cousin doesn’t know, then I’ll analyse it for you. Zhang Ruochen discovered an ancient cave left over from the Middle Ages and obtained five spatial treasures. However, he didn’t dare to personally bring them out for auction, so he went to beg Pavilion Master Lei. In order to cover his ears, so it was up to Pavilion Master Lei to claim that it was him who discovered the spatial treasures, so that outsiders wouldn’t notice their eyes on Zhang Ruochen.”
Huang Yichen’s heart tightened and he couldn’t help but squeeze his five fingers tightly as he said, “But it’s just your guess!”
Chen Xi’er laughed, staring intently into Huang Yichen’s eyes, saying, “Although it is a guess, it has a basis. Last night, Zhang Ruochen spent a total of sixty-two thousand spirit crystals at the auction house. If those five spatial treasures weren’t his, where did he get such a large amount of wealth from?”
“Zhang Ruochen didn’t even frown when he was bidding against Yan Yunyue. If the five spatial treasures weren’t his, how did he dare to shout out a sky-high price of one and a half million Spirit Crystals?”
Huang Yunchen said, “Just because of that?”
“Of course it’s more than that.”
Chen Xi’er laughed, “Last night, the few items that Zhang Ruochen auctioned off were almost all sharp weapons used in combat or life-preserving treasures. This indicates that he is going out on an expedition in the near future, and furthermore, the rewards of the expedition would be quite generous, or else it wouldn’t be worth spending so many Spirit Crystals on him. Analysing this one clue, it’s not difficult to guess the truth.”
It had to be said that Chen Xi’er was truly very powerful, and had guessed a large portion of the truth correctly in just one auction.
In terms of mind games, Huang Yichen was a hundred thousand miles away from her.
When Chen Xi’er saw Huang Yichen’s cold eyes, she burst into a flamboyant smile and said, “Cousin, you’re not trying to kill to silence me, are you?”
“Chen Xi’er, what exactly are you doing here?” Huang Yichen said in a cold voice.
Chen Xi’er said, “I just wanted to come and tell you, Cousin, that what I was able to guess, other people would definitely be able to guess as well. Zhang Ruochen, even though he’s very careful, he’s still not careful enough. If I were his fiancée, I would never let him make such a mistake.”
“Swish!”
The sword, leaving its sheath.
Huang Yicun’s arm swung, and the battle sword pointed directly at Chen Xi’er’s neck.
Chen Xi’er appeared very subdued, without the slightest bit of fear, and laughed delicately, “Cousin, although we’ve been fighting since we were small, yet, it’s not so bad that we’re fighting with swords, right? Besides, you should be clear that I don’t have any malicious intent, I just want to join you guys and explore that ancient cave as well, to get a share of the benefits.”
“Ta-da!”
Sharp footsteps sounded.
A maid walked in quickly from outside and said, “County Lord, something big has happened, Duke Yan is carrying a sword and has broken into Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation mansion.”
“What?”
Huang Yichen and Chen Xi’er exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Yan Yunyue was a supreme powerhouse ranked 375th on the Earth Ranking, his martial arts cultivation was unfathomable, how could Zhang Ruochen be his opponent?
In case Yan Yunyi killed Zhang Ruochen in a fit of pique and without any regard, what should be done then?
Chen Xi’er had only just negotiated a deal with Huang Yichen, in case Zhang Ruochen died, wouldn’t no one know the exact location of that one ancient cave?
“Quickly go and stop him.”
Chen Xi’er and Huang Yichen moved almost simultaneously, transforming into two beautiful silhouettes, rushing out of the gate and rushing to Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation residence.
