152: Earn six billion

Ye Chen met Shang Yuqing.

Shang Yuqing spoke, "May I ask why the Ye Family Head has personally graced the Nine Provinces Auction House with his presence?"

Ye Chen said, "I heard that the Nine Provinces Auction House still has purple-veined flat peaches. I would like to buy one. Miss Shang, please name your price."

Shang Yuqing said, "Six billion."

Upon hearing that it would cost six billion Spirit Stones, Ye Chen's expression darkened. This woman was audacious, asking for six billion Spirit Stones right away. She truly took him for a fool.

"Eldest Miss of the Shang Family, the purple-veined flat peach auctioned by the Nine Provinces Auction House a year ago only sold for a little over two billion Spirit Stones. Now you're asking for six billion. Isn't that a bit excessive?"

"A purple-veined flat peach may not be worth six billion Spirit Stones to the Ye Family Head, but it is to that Saint of the Ye Family. Not to mention six billion, even if I asked for ten billion, I believe the Ye Family Head would still have to buy it, wouldn't he?"

Shang Yuqing was confident; she had long since thoroughly investigated the Ye family's background. The Ye family had a Saint whose Lifespan was nearing its end, and Ye Chen's visit to the Nine Provinces Auction House to buy a purple-veined flat peach was to extend the life of the Ye family's Old Ancestor.

An Ancient Desolate Family like the Ye family, with only one Saint guarding it, was in a precarious state. Once the Saint fell, the Ye family was bound to decline.

The Ye family couldn't afford to gamble.

"Since the Ye Family Head is unwilling to pay six billion Spirit Stones, then please leave! Steward Wu, see our guest out."

Shang Yuqing turned and walked away.

"Wait."

Ye Chen stopped Shang Yuqing, and he said coldly, "I'll pay the six billion Spirit Stones."

"I don't have that many Spirit Stones on me. Miss Shang, could you give me the purple-veined flat peach first, and I'll send someone with the Spirit Stones once I return to the Ye family?"

Shang Yuqing said, "I'm a businesswoman; I believe in clear transactions. I'll give you the purple-veined flat peach once you bring the Spirit Stones."

She turned and left.

Damn it.

Ye Chen hadn't expected Shang Yuqing to show him no Face at all, causing him to lose Face.

However, given Shang Yuqing's noble status, he didn't dare to offend her rashly and could only swallow his anger.

To obtain the purple-veined flat peach as quickly as possible, Ye Chen went to the Nine Provinces Auction House the very next day with the Spirit Stones.

"Miss Shang, there are six hundred million Medium Grade Spirit Stones in here."

Ye Chen handed a storage ring containing the Spirit Stones to Shang Yuqing.

Shang Yuqing accepted the storage ring after scanning it with her Divine Sense. She took out the purple-veined flat peach, and Ye Chen produced a jade box to store it.

Shang Yuqing took out four hundred twenty million Medium Grade Spirit Stones and said to Shang Rong, "Give those Spirit Stones to Jiang Yunfan."

Shang Rong took the storage ring and left the auction house. He instantly arrived at Tianji Pavilion.

Upon seeing Shang Rong, Jiang Yunfan knew the purple-veined flat peach had been sold. Shang Rong said, "The purple-veined flat peach sold for six billion Spirit Stones. It's a three-seven split, so here are your four hundred twenty million Medium Grade Spirit Stones."

"Sold for six billion? As expected of the Eldest Miss of the Shang Family. Impressive."

Jiang Yunfan had only expected around three billion Spirit Stones, but Shang Yuqing gave him a huge surprise, doubling it.

Six billion Spirit Stones, even with the Ye family's substantial assets, probably depleted a quarter of their family fortune.

He earned four point two billion Spirit Stones from a single purple-veined flat peach; it was an enormous profit.

Adding the three point seven billion Spirit Stones he previously earned from selling Secret Realm intelligence, he now had almost ten billion Spirit Stones. He had become a billionaire tycoon, a single person equivalent to an entire clan.

Jiang Yunfan summoned Luo Qing and Zhang Fei.

"Pavilion Master."

"You two have been working for me for some time, and I haven't treated you poorly. From today onwards, Tianji Pavilion will close its doors. There will be no more Tianji Pavilion."

Upon hearing that the Pavilion Master was closing Tianji Pavilion, Luo Qing and Zhang Fei both became anxious.

"Pavilion Master, Tianji Pavilion is doing so well, why are you closing it?"

"I plan to go to Central Continent."

Luo Qing and Zhang Fei were in low spirits.

Jiang Yunfan said, "You've also earned a lot of Spirit Stones from me, enough for you to live a prosperous latter half of your lives. You don't need to worry about resources. We shall meet again if fate allows."

He instantly vanished... Strong experts from various forces arrived at the Ancient Ruins one after another.

The Ancient Ruins suddenly became lively.

"Why are there so many people? Did something major happen?"

Jiang Yurou was full of doubts. She had encountered many people during this time, and out of curiosity, she followed them, wanting to see what was happening.

"Saint, there's a woman following us. Should we kill her?"

"She should be a Prodigy from some Sect. Let me take a look."

Yin Jiao released his Divine Sense to probe Jiang Yurou, who was following behind.

"She actually possesses a Primal Spirit Body. I didn't expect to encounter such a Peerless Grade Cauldron as soon as I arrived at the Ancient Ruins."

Yin Jiao turned and flew towards Jiang Yurou, who was following, and in an instant, he blocked her path.

Jiang Yurou became vigilant.

"What do you intend to do?"

"I want you to be my woman."

Yin Jiao smiled devilishly, extremely frivolous.

"Lecher."

In a fit of anger, Jiang Yurou slashed at Yin Jiao with her sword. Yin Jiao raised his hand and blocked the sword. He used his Domain to imprison her.

"If I weren't in a hurry, I would definitely make love to you and savor your taste."

Yin Jiao moved to Seal Jiang Yurou's Cultivation Level, but a white lotus emerged, protecting her.

"Peerless Grade Spiritual Artifact."

Yin Jiao's Face was filled with shock.

What was this woman's background, to possess a Peerless Grade defensive Spiritual Artifact?

When others arrived and saw the white lotus, they all showed greedy expressions. Yin Jiao gave them a cold stare, and they immediately suppressed their covetousness.

Although she had a Spiritual Artifact protecting her, Jiang Yurou couldn't escape.

【Today's Intelligence (red): Jiang Yurou encountered Yin Jiao, the Heavenly Demon Sect Saint. Yin Jiao discovered Jiang Yurou possessed a Primal Spirit Body and intends to make Jiang Yurou his Cauldron.】

【Today's Intelligence (orange): Lu Yun is about to Breakthrough to the Dharma Idol Realm. Breaking through to the Dharma Idol Realm will attract a Heavenly Tribulation. Lu Yun powerfully broke through the tribulation, piercing the tribulation clouds and obtaining thunder tribulation divine liquid.】

Jiang Yunfan, who received the System's intelligence, had a cold expression.

"Yin Jiao, if you dare to harm a single hair on my sister's head, I will make your life worse than death."

Jiang Yunfan urged the Archaic Emperor Butterfly to speed up.

Yin Jiao said, "I am the Heavenly Demon Sect Saint. If you're sensible, you'll submit to me and be my woman. I will never treat you unfairly."

"So you're a demonic cultivator, no wonder you act this way! You want me to be your woman? Delusional!"

"You don't know what's good for you."

Yin Jiao attacked.

At this moment, the qiankun pagoda flew out from within Jiang Yurou's body.

Two people flew out of the pagoda: Yang Dingtian and Dugu Qiubai.

"Sacred Artifact."

Yin Jiao and the others were shocked. They never expected this woman to possess a Sacred Artifact.

Yang Dingtian activated the qiankun pagoda with his magical power. The qiankun pagoda sealed the Void Realm, and Yin Jiao and the others were restrained, about to be sucked into the pagoda.

Suddenly, a large hand slapped towards the qiankun pagoda, breaking the Seal with a single palm strike.
