154: Chapter 154 Heading to the Meteorite Zone?

At this moment.

Deacon Wang's gaze toward Jiang Yun had completely changed.

From initial curiosity to the shock of learning about his Gold Rank cultivation.

And now, to awe and disbelief.

The Family Head's action...

...was undoubtedly spending a massive fortune.

...to nurture this Prodigy who had appeared out of nowhere!

He immediately realized.

That the youth before him...

...would, for a long time to come...

...be the most sought-after...

...and absolutely untouchable figure in the Su Family.

"Yes, yes, yes! This Junior understands! Elder-level treatment!"

Deacon Wang bowed repeatedly.

His attitude was humble to the extreme.

He inquired cautiously.

"Young Master Jiang Yun, I wonder what attribute of Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals you need to collect this month? For an Elder's share, the Spirit Crystals are fixed at three thousand and Low-Grade Spirit Stones at two hundred thousand, but the attributes can be allocated as needed."

Jiang Yun thought for a moment.

"I need one thousand thunder-attribute Spirit Crystalss, and one thousand each of water and Fire Attribute Spirit Crystals. As for Spirit Stones, I'll take one hundred thousand each of water and fire attribute."

His allocation was entirely targeted toward his two tamed beasts.

Little Cloud Sparrow was primarily thunder-based, while Little Fire was a pure water and fire dual-type.

Deacon Wang quickly took note.

He then looked at Su Qingxue and asked respectfully.

"Young Miss Su, what about you?"

Su Qingxue's expression was indifferent.

As if the resource allocation before her, which would drive countless Beast Tamers wild, had nothing to do with her.

She simply remarked casually.

"fire attribute Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals will do."

Her reaction was unusually calm.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but glance at her.

Given her true form as an Amethyst Nine-Tailed Fox...

...the resources required for cultivation must be massive.

This small share for a branch family Genius...

...was likely not even enough to get her started.

Thinking about it...

...as a member of the Fox Race royalty...

...she must have her own channels for obtaining resources.

In fact, she probably didn't lack resources at all.

She likely didn't care for the Su Family's meager branch resources.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

Deacon Wang did not dare to delay.

He personally turned and entered the warehouse in the back.

After a while.

He came out holding two exquisitely crafted storage rings.

"Elder Jiang Yun, Young Miss Su, your resources for this month are both inside. Please check them."

Deacon Wang presented them with both hands.

Jiang Yun took his own storage ring.

He swept his Mental Energy inside.

Inside the ring's space...

...on one side was a small mountain...

...of Spirit Stones shimmering with various colors.

The water and fire auras were distinct.

On the other side...

...were three thousand crystal-clear...

...Spirit Crystals containing pure and surging energy.

The thunder, water, and fire-colored Spirit Crystals were separated.

Their radiance flowed, looking intoxicating.

Just by sensing them with his Divine Sense...

...he could feel the terrifying energy contained within.

"Thank you."

Jiang Yun nodded.

He put away the storage ring.

With these resources...

...it would at least tide him over for a bit.

Su Qingxue didn't even reach out to take it.

She merely flicked her sleeve slightly.

The storage ring turned into a streak of light and merged into her fingertip, vanishing. She hadn't spared it a single glance the entire time.

Clearly, she didn't care about these resources at all.

After finishing the registration...

...and receiving the resources...

...the group didn't stay any longer.

They left the Resource Hall amidst Deacon Wang's incredibly respectful farewell.

Arriving outside the hall.

Jiang Yun smiled at Steward Li and said, "Steward Li, thank you for your trouble. We can find our own way back from here; we won't keep you from your duties."

Steward Li knew these were polite words.

But he also nodded tactfully.

"Young Master-in-law, you're too kind. This is all part of my duty. If you and the Madame have any needs in the future, just come find me anytime. I will certainly do my best."

After Jiang Yun thanked him again...

...Steward Li bowed and departed.

On the way back.

Su Qingxue glanced at Jiang Yun.

A faint, enigmatic smile curled at the corners of her lips.

Her tone carried a hint of playfulness.

"Husband! You are now a big celebrity in the Su Family, with the status of an Elder and endless resources. You'll have to take good care of your concubine in the future!"

That "husband" made Jiang Yun's scalp tingle.

A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He glanced at this unpredictable and moody Nine-Tailed Fox.

He only gave an awkward smile.

"Stop teasing me. With your strength, do you even need me to take care of you?"

Su Qingxue's beautiful eyes flickered.

She laughed softly.

"That's not necessarily true... Don't forget, you still owe me a life and a massive favor. Who knows when you'll need to pay it back."

Jiang Yun's expression turned serious.

"I won't forget that. Whenever you need it, and as long as it's within my power, I will certainly not refuse."

Although he had no idea what she would ask for, he was currently at her mercy, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Returning to Yunqi Courtyard.

Elder Su had already been waiting for a long time.

He stepped forward to bid farewell.

"Young Master-in-law, Young Miss!"

Elder Su's face carried the relief and pride of having successfully completed his mission.

"Seeing you two settled in the Main Family and receiving such importance, this old man can rest easy. Now that things are settled here, I should return to C City and report this great news to the Family Head! If the Family Head learns how impressive you are in the Main Family, he'll probably wake up laughing in his sleep! Haha!"

Jiang Yun was quite grateful for Elder Su's protection along the way.

He couldn't help but urge him.

"Elder Su, you've worked hard. Please be careful on your way back. Also, please tell Uncle Su to make sure to look after my mother and sister."

Elder Su smiled at his words.

He patted his chest in assurance.

"Rest assured, Young Master-in-law! With the Su Family and the Family Head there, we won't let the Madame and the Young Miss suffer even the slightest grievance! The Qin Family's collusion with the evil cult is proven; once I'm back, the federal laws and the mayor will settle the score with them!"

At the mention of the evil cult...

...Elder Su's expression became a bit more solemn.

"Young Master-in-law, though you are in the Main Family and seem safe, the Yuhai Cult is like a maggot in the bone; they will never let this go. In the provincial capital, especially outside the academy, you must be extremely careful!"

Jiang Yun nodded.

He had already expected this.

This evil cult had teamed up with the Qin Family to assassinate him.

Clearly, they had some understanding of his information.

Since they failed to kill him...

...and instead lost so many people...

...they certainly wouldn't let it rest.

They would likely continue to send assassins.

"I understand. Once I enter Sky Dome Academy, I assume they won't dare to be too blatant."

Jiang Yun sighed helplessly.

Then the group chatted for a few more words.

Elder Su then officially took his leave.

He set off on his journey back to C City.

Su Qingxue didn't say much.

She just gave Jiang Yun a flat look.

She walked straight toward the most spacious master bedroom in the main building, where the Spiritual Qi was most concentrated, her cold voice drifting back.

"From now on, this is my residence. Do not enter without permission."

Jiang Yun was speechless.

Even if she permitted it...

...he wouldn't dare go in!

Who knew if it was filled with traps.

This Yunqi Courtyard was massive.

There were many rooms.

Jiang Yun randomly chose a side wing room.

Even though it was a wing room, its interior decor far surpassed his small bedroom in C City; he was very satisfied with it.

Entering the room.

Jiang Yun immediately immersed his mind into his Beast Taming Space.

Inside the space...

...Little Cloud Sparrow was surrounded by the power of wind and thunder.

It was continuously devouring and refining the thunder attribute spirit stones Jiang Yun had just put in, its aura steadily rising as it consolidated its Gold First Tier cultivation.

Little Fire was swimming in the spirit liquid lake, red and blue light flashing alternately around it. Its aura was more powerful and heavy than before, having already reached the Gold First Tier Peak, and it was gathering strength to charge toward Gold Second Tier!

The many resources it had previously devoured and absorbed...

...seemed to be undergoing complete refinement, transforming into the purest foundation.

It was foreseeable...

...that once it successfully broke through...

...the massive amount of resources consumed previously would also be depleted.

The resources he had just received probably wouldn't last long either.

His consciousness withdrew from the Beast Taming Space.

Jiang Yun began to calculate his next plans.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the Starfall District!"

He made up his mind.

To earn his Appraiser qualification.

Establishing the identity of Dong Xuan as a top-tier Appraiser...

...was a key step for him to quickly obtain top-tier resources and intelligence in the provincial capital.

It was already late.

He needed to conserve his energy.

To face tomorrow's assessment in Peak condition.

As for the specific content and format of the assessment...

...he was still unaware.

He could only wait until he reached the Appraisers Guild in the Starfall District to find out more.

Jiang Yun went to rest early.

Adjusting his state.

However.

Just as he was sleeping peacefully...

...the sensation he had caused in the Su Family...

...was like a pebble thrown into a lake.

The ripples were slowly spreading out.

His name had already begun to spread through the Su Family.

In the Core Area of the Su Family.

In another extremely grand residence...

...a youth dressed in luxurious clothes with a somewhat arrogant face was listening to a servant's report, his face full of disdain and doubt.

"Jiang Yun? That matrilocal son-in-law of the Su Family from the C City Branch? A sixteen-year-old at Gold First Tier? Heh, what a joke!"

The youth sneered.

He casually tossed a spirit fruit into his mouth.

"What kind of decent stuff can come out of those backwater branches? The people below probably exaggerated just to suck up to Third Uncle!"

"Fourth Young Master, it's absolutely true!"

The reporting servant hurriedly explained.

"Several stewards registering at the outer courtyard plaza saw it with their own eyes! That tamed beast's aura couldn't be faked; it was indeed Gold Rank! Moreover, the Family Head values him greatly, even giving him Elder-level treatment and placing him on the Su Family's ancestral hall tablets!"

"Bullshit! Entering the Su Family tablets? Why don't you just say my Third Uncle made him my ancestor?"

The youth slammed the table.

"My big brother, the Su Family's recognized number one Genius, broke through to Gold Rank at twenty-three! He's even in the top ten of Sky Dome Academy's Earth Rankings, and only then was he placed in the upper registers of the genealogy. How can a country bumpkin like him be stronger than my big brother? He must have used some underhanded methods, or that tamed beast is just all show! Pure bluster!"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

A surge of inexplicable jealousy and anger rose in his heart.

An outsider who suddenly dropped in and stole all the attention...

...made him extremely unhappy.

"Tomorrow! this young master will go meet this country bumpkin properly!"

Su MingxuanA hint of disdain flashed in his eyes..

"I want to see what he's really made of and if he's as badass as the rumors say!"
