Translator:?_Tat_??Editor:?Fish_Creek
The giant Sun hung high in the sky, spraying down warm sunlight. However, it wasn’t warm enough to lt the chill everyone felt on the inside.
Wang Teng Fei was bathed in anger as his stare grew even more violent. Killing Wang Peng before him was the sa as slapping his face and slapping the Wang Clan’s face!
However, he didn’t dare to move. He didn’t even dare to leave behind a rude statent.
From the way Ling Xian crisply killed Wang Peng, it beca obvious that he did not fear the Wang Clan and would not hesitate to kill another one of them. Thus, where would Wang Teng Fei find the guts to do anything?
He had to swallow his anger no matter how unwilling he was!
“Let’s go!”
Wang Teng Fei flapped around his sleeve. Without pausing, he left.
Seeing this, the armored guards exhaled in relief. They were terrified that Wang Teng Fei would be irrational due to anger and order them to kill Ling Xian. If that was the case, then none of them would be able to survive.
Now that Wang Teng Fei had suppressed his anger, these people sighed in relief and followed him.
On the third level of the Qi Zhen Pavilion, Ling Xian sat on a mahogany chair, crossed his legs, and held onto a cup of freshly brewed tea. His casual movents and lack of concern made it seem like what he had done was not a big deal.
He wasn’t aware that what he had done had dragged the entire street into a state of shock. Gong Suo Xin, who didn’t believe Ling Xian would be able to get away today, was extrely astounded.
Her expression was empty as she watched Wang Teng Fei and them leave. After a long while did she find herself again.
“Phew… I thought I overestimated you, but it seems like I underestimated you.”
After a long sigh, Gong Suo Xin shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian. Her expression was filled with shock, astonishnt, and so respect.
“It’s been eight years. I am not soone who walks on the sa spot. I have to grow a little and move forward.” Ling Xian grinned faintly, didn’t think of his growth as much of an achievent.
Eight years ago, a completion levelled cultivator was his ideal goal. But now, a completion levelled powerhouse on the weaker side is no longer his opponent.
This was what he gained in the past eight years!
“You didn’t just grow a little…”
Gong Suo Xin shook her head with a wry smile and exclaid, “Back then, I admired your potential and knew that you will one day grow into a towering tree. Even so, I didn’t expect your speed of growth to be this insane. In rely eight years you have grown into a powerhouse that’s above other completion levelled cultivators. You are the brightest of them all.”
“Mistress Gong, you are being kind.”
Ling Xian softly chuckled, his eyes full of anticipation, “I am not the brightest. There are many more people who are more powerful than I am. Only when I beco undefeatable in the completion level will I see myself as successful.
Noticing Ling Xian’s anticipation, Gong Suo Xin silently exclaid, “The saying is true, once one realizes one can fly high, one dares to compete with the height of the sky.”
“Alright, stop flattering .” Ling Xian took back his smile and turned serious again, “I am willing to help you gain control of the Pavilion. I wonder what I have to do?”
Hearing this, Gong Suo Xin’s eyes brightened. But very quickly, they darkened again and she sighed, “If this was five years ago and you showed up with your capabilities today, then the seat of the leader would certainly be mine. But these days… capabilities cannot solve the problem.”
“Capabilities cannot solve the problem…”
Ling Xian frowned slightly and continued, “The Qi Zhen Pavilion truly is powerful and it makes sense that it does not take a single completion levelled cultivator seriously. However, there has to be a solution.”
“Of course there are solutions. The Qi Zhen Pavilion is a business after all. Its goal is to make money.” Gong Suo Xin’s eyes were dim. She withheld no hope. She was simply explaining because of Ling Xian’s determined gaze, “If I can conduct a very profitable business for the Pavilion, I may advance in terms of my performance and once again be a competitor.”
“Profitable business?”
Ling Xian frowned and understood what Gong Suo Xin ant. In plain words, she needed spiritual stones, endless amount of them. This was sothing he had.
Thus, his brows relaxed and he laughed, “I thought it would be really difficult. It turned out to be so easy.”
“Easy?”
Gong Suo Xin chortled from anger, “Ling Xian, do you not understand the Qi Zhen Pavilion’s capability? It is the number one Trading Convention of the Qin Dynasty. A profitable business to the Pavilion involves a fortune. A number that you cannot even fathom!”
“Let put it this way, the Third Tribe’s candidate has a sales achievent of 80,000,000 spiritual stones. These years, despite my hard work, my sales only accumulated to 12,000,000. In other words, I would need to conduct a trade that costs 70,000,000 spiritual stones to match that guy.”
Gong Suo Xin had a lancholy grin, “Even if I do surpass him in terms of work, I cannot take his place in the current Leader’s mind.”
70,000,000 spiritual stones. This, without a doubt, was an astronomical amount and a number that stripped all hope. This was why Gong Suo Xin had given up and had no hope regarding her future.
However, faced against this astronomical number, Ling Xian did not waver and he remained collected. 70,000,000 spiritual stones to others was a stupendous amount. They wouldn’t be able to earn that much in their life ti. To Ling Xian however, it was nothing.
Don’t forget. He had the Purple Dwarf, which ant he had unlimited access to the Petal of Enlightennt. The market price to these petals were around 1,000,000 spiritual stones each. In other words, he only needed 70 petals.
Why would he react to that?
Smiling, a sentence left Ling Xian’s lips that once again pulled Gong Suo Xin into a state of stagnant. Even Luo Xin Jie, who had been silent this whole journey, was surprised.
“I thought you needed a lot of spiritual stones. But you rely need 7,000,000. Easy.”
rely 7,000,000?
E…easy?
Gong Suo Xin questioned if her ears had gone bad. After she made sure she heard it right, she decided that Ling Xian was joking, “Ling Xian, listen to well. I said 70,000,000 spiritual stones, not 7,000,000.”
“I did hear you wrong, but not 7,000,000. Look at the troubled face you have on. I would’ve thought you needed 700,000,000 spiritual stones.”
Ling Xian continued to grin as he sipped on his tea. His nonchalant manner ant that even if she did say she needed 700,000,000, he wouldn’t have minded.
Gong Suo Xin was speechless. Luo Xin Jie on the other side rely grimaced and didn’t respond.
Both of these won wanted to show the sa emotion – disbelief. They thought Ling Xian was boasting.
Ling Xian chuckled, “Mistress Gong, you have so little trust in .”
“If you say you can single-handedly fight all the completion levelled cultivators from the Qi Zhen Pavilion, I might believe you. But 70,000,000 spiritual stones! That is far too exaggerated. I do not believe you.” Gong Sou Xin shook his head slightly. Not at all believe in Ling Xian.
“Mistress Gong, you are asking to be slapped.” Ling Xian teased.
“Do not joke with . I am in no mood.” Gong Suo Xin sighed, “If you truly show that much money, then I am willing to be slapped.”
“Then I will.” Ling Xian concealed a smirk. He knew that Gong Suo Xin didn’t believe him. Thus, he didn’t say much and simply flapped around his sleeve.
Just then, hundreds of translucent purple petals appeared. Like a rainstorm, all petals pranced in the wind, creating beautiful curves.
A dense aroma filled the air. It made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
Gong Suo Xin froze.
She stared at the hundreds of petals in the air with a look of disbelief.
Without a doubt, the impact of seeing so many petals appear was soul crushing. Even if she was an original levelled monster, she would be stunned for a long while!
What could she do? The Petal of Enlightennt was far too valuable. And there were hundreds of them. It was impossible to not be in awe!
Even the mysterious Luo Xin Jie was surprised at this. She didn’t think Ling Xian was this wealth! To just casually take out hundreds of Petals of Enlightennt!
These petals were invaluable. Even with her respected identity, she cannot possess this many!
“Am I dreaming… this many Petals of Enlightennt…”
“You aren’t dreaming.”
Ling Xian faintly smiled. “Now you believe . I did not lie to you.”
“This… this is too unbelievable.” Gong Suo Xin was still stagnant and found it impossible to believe the reality before her. She had been in contact with treasures since a young age and knew how much these petals were worth.
What this ant for her made her even more ecstatic!
One petal was worth 1,000,000 spiritual stones. Hundreds of them ant hundreds of millions of spiritual stones. Not only was this an astronomical amount, it also represented her hope of becoming the leader!
Thus, how could she not feel excited?
After a long ti, she finally woke up from excitent and stared deadly at Ling Xian. Her voice trembled as she said, “Ling Xian, these petals… you are really gifting them to ?”
“Yes, think of them as compensation for not being able to fulfill my promise.” Ling Xian grinned.
For one, he didn’t really care about objects. Two, he had the Purple Dwarf, aning he had unlimited access to the Petal of Enlightennt. These petals to others were an astronomical amount, but to him, they were nothing.
“Ling Xian, thank you, thank you!”
Gong Suo Xin was very emotional, “These many petals an I now can conduct so business and once again beco a competitive candidate.”
“What you do with these is up to you.” Ling Xian’s lips curled up. The heavy rock that had been weighing down on his chest finally fell to the ground.
These years, he had been annoyed at this situation. Even though he couldn’t be certain that Gong Suo Xin will beco the Leader of the Qi Zhen Pavilion, at the very least, he achieved his task.
What happens next is dependent on Gong Suo Xin’s own abilities.
