C40 – Equal Status
Wang Shan and Tang Jianzhou had a conversation that lasted an hour. Tang Jianzhou presented Wang Shan with a cash card valued at two million yuan. Wang Shan declined any additional armors and weapons, citing his reluctance to carry them around.
Upon receiving the cash card, Wang Shan imdiately noticed a deduction alert from the System Exchange.
[Violation of rules, 100,000 yuan deducted]
Wang Shan learned that items acquired through the System Exchange were for his use only and not to be gifted to others. Breaching this rule triggered a financial penalty from the system. Thankfully, the system only removed 100,000 yuan on this occasion. Even after this deduction, Wang Shan still netted a profit of 1.9 million yuan.
“According to the system’s alert, future violations will result in even higher deductions,” he noted, unfazed. Wang Shan was confident that as long as the exchanged items brought significant benefits, system penalties wouldn’t lead to a loss.
The carriage halted at the entrance of a luxury hotel, where Tang Qiao made a point of escorting Wang Shan out. “We are deeply grateful for your assistance. The Tang family will always rember your generosity,” she expressed.
”It’s nothing, really. Just a token of my appreciation,” Wang Shan replied. He then turned his attention to Qin ii inside the carriage. “Having witnessed the potency of my Yang Returning Pill, isn’t it ti you honored your promise? Join in my room tonight to keep warm.”
Ugly woman?
Qin ii’s brow furrowed at the remark. Renowned as one of the most beautiful won in White Light Town, she was taken aback by Wang Shan’s insult.
“I believe your Pill Technique doesn’t compare to my father’s. If you dare, visit my ho tomorrow. I’ll show you what a true Pill Refining Master is,” Qin ii retorted calmly.
“So you’re still not convinced,” Wang Shan observed. “Very well, I’ll co by tomorrow to see for myself the kind of person who could have such an ‘ugly daughter.'”
Qin ii was seething with anger and anxiety at Wang Shan’s provocation. Yet, as the Pill King’s daughter, she knew she had to maintain her dignity and not tarnish her reputation.
“I’ll co looking for you tomorrow. I doubt you’ll have the courage to show up, considering my father is the Pill King!” Qin ii clung to her last shred of dignity.
At that mont, five girls erged from the upscale hotel.
“Young Master, welco back!”
They quickly gathered around Wang Shan.
Tang Qiao and Qin ii felt a pang of discomfort when they saw these stunning beauties being so affectionate with Wang Shan.
Qin ii, in particular, felt a bitter twinge in her heart, a sensation that was truly hard to bear.
“You’re not just shaless; you’re also a lecher,” Qin ii managed to say, mustering all her strength to appear composed.
“Young Master, who are these two ladies?” Jiaxia inquired.
Wang Shan glanced at the departing carriage and replied, “One is the daughter of the great general Tang Jianzhou, and the other is an ugly girl.”
Ugly girl? The five girls found this odd but didn’t press further since Wang Shan showed no interest in elaborating.
On his way back to his hotel room, Wang Shan ran into Ma Niu.
Ma Niu was the Three-star Cultivator who had relinquished his room for Wang Shan.
“I’ve heard that Pill King Qin Weiqiang is hosting a pill refining event in White Light Town. He’ll be selecting individuals with promising talent as his apprentices. You might want to give it a shot.” Despite his noble birth, Ma Niu wasn’t pretentious. He always made sure to share any good news with Wang Shan first.
If Ma Niu knew that Wang Shan was a Two-star Pill Refining Master and on par with Pill King Qin Weiqiang, he would likely be astounded into silence.
