192: Chapter 192 Making a fortune

The next moment, Chen Hu stood up abruptly.

A Map Navigation Card appeared in his hand.

"Let's go!"

Chen Hu's figure vanished from the study, and when he reappeared, he was already 100 li away.

The capital and Linjiang Prefecture were over three thousand li apart.

For the Map Navigation Card, this meant only teleporting thirty-plus times.

Once per second.

In just over thirty seconds, Chen Hu was standing outside the capital of the Great Yong Kingdom.

It was already well past midnight.

The city gates of the capital were naturally closed.

The next moment, Chen Hu's body sank into the ground, and he tunneled toward the interior of the capital.

Soon, Chen Hu appeared inside the capital city.

Although the Great Yong Kingdom did not have a custom of curfews, at this hour, the streets were still empty.

However, occasionally, one could see the figures of night patrol teams.

Using the Map Navigation Card, Chen Hu quickly locked onto the location of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

He had forgotten about the Map Navigation Card when he previously went to Lingzhou City.

In a short while, Chen Hu tunneled to the underground of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

Whether in terms of power or influence, Marquis Weiwu far exceeded Wu Sheng.

But in reality, the land area of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion was not large, covering only a mere hundred mu or so.

The reason was simple: this was the capital.

It was just like the capital city in modern society, where housing prices in important areas could reach hundreds of thousands per square meter.

And hundreds of thousands would be enough to buy an entire house in a small county town.

Therefore, don't look at the small size of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion; in terms of price, it was incomparably more expensive than the Wu Family's massive manor.

Chen Hu tentatively released his Spiritual Sense to probe.

He estimated that since Young Marquis Wei Wuji had suffered such a huge loss last time, Marquis Weiwu would most likely have hired a warlock to sit in the mansion.

Chen Hu had guessed correctly.

Marquis Weiwu had indeed hired a warlock at the Early Stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm to sit in the mansion.

However, when Chen Hu used his Spiritual Sense to peek at the other party, the person had no reaction at all.

Clearly, the other party lacked the ability to detect his Spiritual Sense.

Soon, Chen Hu arrived beneath the room where Young Marquis Wei Wuji resided.

This guy was a typical case of refusing to change his ways.

His Divine Soul hadn't even fully recovered, yet he was already returning to his old habits.

He was sleeping soundly on the bed.

But in a corner of the room, two girls covered in wounds were curled up.

Chen Hu immediately formed a hand seal.

Soon, the spell took shape, and a Soul Seed formed, turning into a beam of black light that shot out from the ground and landed in Young Marquis Wei Wuji's Sea of Consciousness.

"Done!" Chen Hu smiled.

Compared to the Soul Curse Technique he had cast on Young Marquis Wei Wuji last time, the soul curse he had planted this time was even harder to resolve.

The sneak attack was successful.

Chen Hu had originally intended to slip away.

But he suddenly thought, since he was already here, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if he didn't take a stroll through the Weiwu Marquis Mansion's treasury?

Consequently, Chen Hu quickly arrived beneath the treasury of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

However, just as he was about to tunnel out of the ground, he was surprised to find that the floor of the treasury had been reinforced with three meters of solid steel.

Then, he checked with his Spiritual Sense and discovered that the walls of the entire treasury were also made of steel, and they were very thick.

Clearly, Marquis Weiwu had gone to great lengths to build such a sealed, airtight treasury, also to guard against thieves with special abilities.

"Hehe, Marquis Weiwu, oh Marquis Weiwu, although you can guard against my earth-tunneling technique, you cannot guard against my teleportation!"

With a thought, the next moment, Chen Hu's figure appeared out of thin air inside the treasury.

Sweeping with his Spiritual Sense, he discovered a massive amount of silver and gold.

Roughly estimating, there was at least 2 billion taels of silver and over 100 million in gold.

He did not, however, find any silver notes or gold notes.

Given Marquis Weiwu's power, although storage treasures were expensive and rare, he would certainly be able to obtain one.

Gold notes and silver notes, which did not take up much space, could easily be stored inside a storage treasure.

Chen Hu did not plan to take the silver.

It took up too much space.

However, he did not stand on ceremony with that 100 million taels of gold.

He directly collected it into his Storage Ring.

Afterward, he began to collect the Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine.

It had to be said that Marquis Weiwu was truly too wealthy; all kinds of Medicinal Pills added up to over ten thousand boxes, and various Spirit Medicine added up to tens of thousands of stalks.

There was also exotic beast meat.

It was also stored in bag after bag.

Naturally, Chen Hu would not stand on ceremony, and he took it all.

Besides that, Chen Hu also discovered over 3,000 Low Grade Origin Stones, which he also swept up entirely.

As he collected, Chen Hu discovered that the space inside his Storage Ring was filled, and even the space inside the War God Necklace was completely packed.

"Forget it, one must learn to be satisfied!"

The next moment, Chen Hu cast teleportation, appearing 100 li away, having directly exited the capital.

Afterward, he seized the time to continue teleporting.

In just over thirty seconds, he was back at his home in Linjiang Prefecture.

Looking at the items he had taken from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At the same time, he decided that he must also make a trip to the treasury of Mingjian Villa.

Next, Chen Hu carried out an inventory.

First, he counted the Medicinal Pills.

There were a full 12,426 boxes.

Each box contained one hundred bottles of Medicinal Pills.

Moreover, Chen Hu discovered that the Medicinal Pills in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion's treasury did not include those for the Skin Refining Realm or Flesh Refining Realm.

Because these two types of Medicinal Pills could be bought on the market as long as one had money, they were not qualified to enter the Weiwu Marquis Mansion's treasury.

Therefore, the Medicinal Pills Chen Hu had obtained from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion's treasury started at at least the Tendon Refining Realm.

The highest-grade Medicinal Pills even reached the Blood Refining Realm.

However, there were not many Medicinal Pills for the Blood Refining Realm to consume, only a mere dozen or so boxes.

That meant over a thousand bottles.

There were two types of Medicinal Pills suitable for consumption at the Blood Refining Realm: Blood-Creating Pills and Dragon Blood Pills.

The market price for a Blood-Creating Pill was 30,000 taels of silver each, and the market price for a Dragon Blood Pill was 50,000 taels of silver each.

Among the thousand-plus bottles of pills, there were over 800 bottles of Blood-Creating Pills.

Calculated at 300,000 taels per bottle, these eight hundred-plus bottles were worth over 200 million taels of silver.

The remaining six hundred-plus bottles of Dragon Blood Pills were worth over 300 million taels of silver.

Of course, these were just the smaller portions; Chen Hu silently calculated that the Medicinal Pills he had gotten from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, added together, were worth over 10 billion taels of silver.

As for the Spirit Medicine, there were nearly 60,000 stalks.

Their combined value was even higher than the Medicinal Pills.

The specific figure could not be estimated because Chen Hu did not recognize many of the Spirit Medicine.

But it was certain that the price of this batch of Spirit Medicine already exceeded 20 billion taels.

The rest was exotic beast meat.

Similarly, First-Tier and Second-Tier exotic beast meat were not qualified to enter the Weiwu Marquis Mansion's treasury.

Therefore, Chen Hu had brought back 1.2 million jin of Third-Tier exotic beast meat, over 800,000 jin of Fourth-Tier exotic beast meat, over 300,000 jin of Fifth-Tier exotic beast meat, over 50,000 jin of Sixth-Tier exotic beast meat, over 20,000 jin of Seventh-Tier exotic beast meat, and over 5,000 jin of Eighth-Tier exotic beast meat.

"Whew!" Chen Hu let out a heavy breath.

Afterward, he looked at the large amount of grain inside his Storage Ring.

"It really takes up too much space!"

"Then I'll go distribute porridge outside the city tomorrow!"

Actually, Chen Hu had also thought about distributing the grain directly.

But if he directly distributed grain to the refugees, it would be too flashy.

Moreover, if he suddenly produced so much grain, he would be suspected by others.

Early the next morning, after arriving at the General Hall of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Chen Hu summoned the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall.

"I intend to distribute porridge to the refugees outside the city in the name of the Fierce Tiger Gang. You go arrange this matter; set up ten porridge stalls in the city, and afterward, I will arrange for people to transport the grain there!"

"Yes!" The External Affairs Hall Master immediately accepted the order and left.

Chen Hu then had someone rent a warehouse.

After driving everyone else away, he released 1 million jin of grain from his Storage Ring and placed it in the warehouse.

Afterward, he arranged for someone to notify the External Affairs Hall Master to send people to collect the grain.

Meanwhile, in the capital, at the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

The butler had been ordered to come to the treasury to retrieve Spirit Medicine for the Young Marquis to use.

But after entering the treasury, his expression turned to one of terror.
