109: Chapter 109 The Scalper in the Immortal Cultivation World

Chapter 109: The Scalper of the Cultivation World

At this moment, within the most mysterious Family in Wind and Thunder Prefecture, the Duan Family.

As for why it's called the most mysterious, it's because the Duan Family is inconspicuous in the eyes of the general public in Wind and Thunder Prefecture, yet their Family wealth is incredibly astonishing, and their connections are intricate.

At this moment, Duan De, a core member of the Family, excitedly spoke to the Family Head, Duan Fei.

"Family Head, I've discovered a new business opportunity in Wind and Thunder Prefecture! If we seize this chance, we're bound to make a huge profit!"

Duan Fei said with a smile,

"You only come to me when you need something, little fellow. Tell me, what does the Family need to provide?"

Duan De chuckled, then said,

"Family Head, I need to borrow one trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones from the Family. Don't worry, in ten days, I will return one trillion one hundred billion to the Family."

Duan Fei's eyes narrowed, but he didn't ask. Duan De was the most outstanding clansman in the Duan Family; sometimes, even he, as the Family Head, felt his own vision was inferior.

Then he said calmly,

"Alright, here are one trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones. I don't need you to return them in 10 days. As long as you return them within half a year, the Duan Family will credit you with another great merit, and you'll become a candidate for Family Head in the future."

Duan De's face darkened as he said,

"Family Head, please don't bring up the Family Head candidate matter again. You know I'm not interested in being Family Head; I'm only interested in earning Spirit Stones."

"You rascal."

Duan Fei said helplessly.

Then Duan De took the Spirit Stones and left without looking back.

After Duan De left, Duan Fei's expression gradually became solemn, and he spoke into the Void Realm,

"Duan Yi, Wind and Thunder Prefecture is not peaceful right now. Go and secretly protect Duan De."

A voice from the Void Realm responded,

"Understood, Family Head. I will definitely protect Young Master De."

Then, the Void Realm returned to silence.

Meanwhile, Duan De went directly to the vicinity of the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, hundreds of people gathered around Duan De. These were all the subordinates Duan De had recruited.

Duan De said,

"Do you all know what to do?"

The more than one hundred people said in unison,

"Brother Duan, we all know what to do."

Then, these more than one hundred people rushed into the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing hundreds more people entering in groups, a Disciple from the Hundred Flowers Palace said with a smile,

"Welcome, esteemed guests."

After these hundreds of people entered, they began to sweep up the goods inside, no more, no less, exactly fifty billion.

It seemed these people were only there for the tokens.

Under the frantic sweep of these people, the treasures in the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce were almost completely cleared out, with only some special treasures remaining that most people had no use for, and thus no reason to buy.

Duan De spent a total of eight hundred billion Spirit Stones to sweep up these treasures; the remaining two hundred billion had other uses for him.

At this moment, Jia Zhengyu looked at these people, clearly an organized group, and was shocked internally.

"Which force in Wind and Thunder Prefecture has such power to spend so many Spirit Stones buying these things? Only one token is needed; what's the point of buying so much?"

Seeing that the items in the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce had been almost completely cleared out, others also left one after another.

Xie Chengjun also left at this moment. He kept thinking about how to gather one hundred billion Spirit Stones. With the strength of their Xie Family, eight hundred billion was already their limit.

Moreover, this was an auction, and the starting bid was sixty billion. It would be almost impossible to acquire the Heaven and Earth Infinite Skill for eight hundred billion, after all, this was an auction, and he wasn't the only one who needed this Cultivation Technique.

"Fellow Daoist, why the worry?"

Xie Chengjun turned around and saw a dark-faced fatty, whose cultivation he couldn't discern. He then said cautiously,

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what the matter is?"

And this dark-faced fatty was Duan De.

Then Duan De secretly unfolded his magical robe, revealing hundreds of tokens inside.

Xie Chengjun was greatly alarmed when he saw this. What kind of power did this person possess to have so many tokens? What was he trying to do?

"Fellow Daoist, how about you sell your token and the auction catalog to me for ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Hearing this, Xie Chengjun's expression changed repeatedly. This was clearly a forced purchase and sale. Then he said,

"Fellow Daoist, this is the entrance of the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce. Aren't you afraid of offending the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce?"

Duan De said with a smile,

"This is a normal transaction; how could it offend the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce? The Qin Family Chamber of Commerce's original intention was also to select people with greater strength."

"And your Xie Family probably doesn't have the strength to bid on any of the auction items, right? Wouldn't it be better to sell the token and recover some funds? Wouldn't it be even better to gain one billion Spirit Stones for free?"

Xie Chengjun listened to Duan De's words and understood the logic. This level of auction was not something everyone could participate in. His presence might only be a formality.

However, he had obtained this token with great difficulty and didn't want to give up. Then he said,

"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, but I still want to try."

Duan De smiled, then said,

"Then I wish you good luck here,"

and then disappeared from the spot, seemingly not wanting to say another word to Xie Chengjun.

Soon, Duan De's subordinates returned, bringing back hundreds more tokens and auction catalogs. Then they said,

"Brother Duan, except for a dozen or so who were very confident and thought they could make a big splash at the auction, all other tokens were collected at a price of one billion per piece."

Duan De looked at the total of over three hundred tokens in his hand, then said with a smile,

"You all did very well. Ten million Spirit Stones each; go and divide it."

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce, Wen Qianqian excitedly said,

"Young Master Chen, in just one day, our Qin Family Chamber of Commerce shipped two trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones! A full two trillion! Many items were snatched up as soon as they were put on the shelves. If it weren't for you, Young Master, replenishing the supply midway, we would have run out long ago."

"This is two trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with a total profit of three hundred billion."

Wen Qianqian said excitedly, her hands still trembling. She was holding two trillion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which was equivalent to two hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

Chen Xun took the Storage Ring, then took out thirty billion and handed it to Wen Qianqian.

"According to the original agreement, the Qin Family and Hundred Flowers Palace will divide it nine to one. These thirty billion are yours."

Hearing this, Wen Qianqian shook her head, then said,

"Young Master Chen, if it weren't for your support to my Hundred Flowers Palace this time, I would not have been able to secure this agency right. These thirty billion are a gift to Young Master Chen."

Chen Xun said with a smile,

"Just because you are Xuan'er's Revered Master, I cannot accept these Spirit Stones. Your Hundred Flowers Palace will have many places to spend money in the future, so keep them."

At this moment, after obtaining over three hundred tokens, Duan De then went to a mysterious place within the Duan Family. He took out five High Grade Spirit Stones and placed them at the five corners of a Formation. Then, a flash of light passed, and Duan De and Duan Yi, who was hidden in the Void Realm, directly disappeared from the spot.
