Get the Yuan Fruit! One Million Yuan Stone

Qingfeng City is a vast and bustling city.

And in the very center of Qingfeng City, a luxurious and magnificent complex of buildings is located.

This complex, like a palace, is the Murong Family's stronghold, the Qingfeng City Lord's Mansion!

However, the Lord's Mansion no longer had its former hustle and bustle; instead, it was filled with a strong sense ofKilling energy (Killing energy).

Because the Lord's Mansion had been tightly surrounded by Xiao Ming's two hundred subordinates, the siege was like an iron barrel—no water could splash in, no needle could pierce through!

Even if a fly wanted to fly out from inside, it would have to leave a pair of wings!

Among the many experts of the Spirit Sword Sect, the strongest was an Elder named Li. Elder Li clasped his hands towards Xiao Ming, bowed slightly, and said, "We have completely surrounded the Lord's Mansion. How we proceed from here, we await the Vice Sect Leader's instructions!"

Xiao Ming waved his hand and said, "I came to the Murong Family for wealth. As for other matters, you can decide them yourself."

"I understand," Elder Li nodded, then looked around and said loudly, "All outer sect disciples are to remain outside and guard every exit."

"The remaining Inner Sect Disciples and Elders will all follow me into the Murong Family!"

"Remember!"

"After we enter, we must kill everyone, leaving no one alive! Anyone from the Murong Family, regardless of gender, age, or status as servants or maids, must be killed completely. We absolutely cannot leave any future troubles!"

At this moment, an Inner Sect Disciple whispered, "Elder Li, you told us to kill everyone from the Murong Family, and we can do that. But, are we not to spare even the servants and maids? They haven't really committed any crime..."

Elder Li glared fiercely at that person and said, in a tone of disappointment, "How many times have I told you? The cultivation world is this cruel; it's either him or you!

"Many things, either don't do them, or do them thoroughly!"

"Most importantly, how can you tell if a few direct descendants of the Murong Family might be mixed in among the servants and maids? If a descendant of the Murong Family escapes, that would be a hidden problem for our sect!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many disciples became alert.

Because everyone had heard many stories of family descendants disguising themselves as servants or beggars to escape, and eventually succeeding in their revenge.

Seeing the reaction from the crowd, Elder Li sighed and said softly, "Actually, I don't want to kill innocent people either. Heh, what kind of hero massacres unrelated mortals!"

"But reality is just that helpless. It's better to kill by mistake than to let a single one go! Otherwise, it might be us who die in the future!"

The disciples nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling upon Elder Li.

Through his previous words, he saw no excitement in Elder Li about the impending massacre of the Murong Family; instead, he saw a deep worry.

Clearly, Elder Li was also worried that members of the Murong Family might escape, cultivate, and then seek revenge on him.

Although Elder Li's words were cruel, one had to admit, this was the bloody rule of the cultivation world.

You can only sleep soundly if you completely eliminate all your opponents and eradicate all future troubles!

After some thought, Xiao Ming stepped forward.

Immediately, all eyes fell on him.

Xiao Ming's voice was not loud as he slowly said, "I was just thinking, if Murong Ce had flattened the Spirit Sword Sect, what would have been the fate of everyone present?"

"We would all die," a disciple instinctively replied.

"That's right, but not entirely," Xiao Ming continued, "Not only would you all die, but even your families would probably be killed one by one by Murong Ce."

"The Murong Family, led by Murong Ce, doesn't have that much compassion. They can do anything to solidify their position. I don't need to explain this in detail, do I?"

Hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

The Murong Family had a notorious reputation; what Xiao Ming said, Murong Ce could truly do!

At this moment.

Everyone no longer felt any psychological pressure.

"Alright, enough talk, let's quickly eliminate the Murong Family to prevent any complications!" Elder Li said, then kicked open the Murong Family's main gate and flashed inside.

The other Elders and Inner Sect Disciples also entered in single file, holding their sharp blades.

The next moment.

Chaotic screams resounded continuously throughout the Murong Family.

Xiao Ming also entered the Murong Family, but his face was expressionless, completely unaffected by the screams.

If a person isn't ruthless, he can't stand firm!

Following the guidance of his luck, Xiao Ming led Hu Yunxi, turning left and right, and then arrived at one of Murong Ce's cultivation secret chambers.

As soon as he entered the cultivation secret chamber, Xiao Ming keenly sensed that his opportunity was right beneath his feet!

"Beneath the floor tiles, there must be something!"

Without thinking, Xiao Ming directly mobilized his true essence and slammed his palm at the ground from a distance!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang.

The floor tiles were directly shattered by Xiao Ming's palm force, revealing a large opening. Through the opening, a hidden cellar could be seen inside.

A rich and potent medicinal fragrance wafted out from the cellar.

"The opportunity is in the cellar!"

Xiao Ming drew his tiangang sword, remaining vigilant, as he jumped into the cellar.

As for Hu Yunxi, she did not enter the hidden cellar but chose to stay outside and guard.

The cellar was not large. Xiao Ming looked around and found that there were also tables, chairs, beds, and other items inside; this was another cultivation room.

And on a table, two boxes, one large and one small, were quietly placed.

That rich medicinal fragrance emanated from the small box.

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Ming held his tiangang sword, ready for a sneak attack by hidden weapons, as he vigilantly opened the small box.

No hidden weapons shot out.

When the box was opened, a golden, walnut-sized fruit was revealed.

As soon as the fruit appeared, the rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire cellar. Xiao Ming merely took a sniff and felt refreshed and clear-headed.

Even the lake of true essence in his dantian trembled slightly.

This fruit is a good thing; it must be the four-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, the bu yuan fruit!

Xiao Ming reached out, grabbed the bu yuan fruit, and threw it into his spatial ring. Then his gaze fell on the large box.

He remained on guard, carefully opening the box.

This was not because Xiao Ming was timid, but because he was very cautious; caution ensures safety!

When the box was opened, it revealed a stack of golden notes. There were many golden notes, at least a hundred of them!

"Golden notes? Why did Murong Ce collect so many golden notes?"

Xiao Ming looked puzzled.

Because for cultivators, gold and silver are not important; in the vast cultivation world, spirit stones are the circulating currency.

To purchase various cultivation resources, only spirit stones can be used!

However, Xiao Ming quickly realized something was amiss.

These golden notes were not ordinary gold and silver; they were receipts for stored spirit stones!

Xiao Ming suddenly understood and was greatly excited.

Murong Ce must have accumulated too many spirit stones, and because they were inconvenient to store, he deposited them in a merchant association. If he needed physical spirit stones someday, he could retrieve them directly with these receipts.

Just like bank notes in the mortal world, the cultivation world also had similar storage merchant associations for convenience.

After all.

Cultivators often need to purchase various cultivation resources. If the transaction value is small, that's fine, but if the value is large, it's unlikely to use physical spirit stones directly for transactions.

For example, if a cultivator spent one million spirit stones to buy something, it's unlikely they would directly pull out the physical stones, as that would be too troublesome.

Even with storage space, those spirit stones would take up too much room.

Although spirit stones also havegrade (grade) divisions, with an exchange ratio of one hundred to one, in many cases, high-grade and supreme-grade spirit stones do not circulate much.

High-grade ones are actually fine, but supreme-grade spirit stones are already equivalent to very good spiritual pills, and cultivators basically use them for cultivation rather than letting them circulate.

It was for all these reasons that receipts came into being.

If you needed to spend a certain amount of money, you would directly produce enough receipts and settle it on the spot.

This function was similar to banks in Xiao Ming's previous life, the difference being that banks in his previous life stored money, while the cultivation world stored spirit stones.

Hmm... in the cultivation world, spirit stones are also money!

Xiao Ming took out the golden notes one by one and examined them carefully, becoming more excited the more he looked!

These receipts were all bearer golden notes, and each note had a value of fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

The number of golden notes was exactly one hundred!

"Fifty thousand each, and there are a hundred of them, so I've gotten five million mid-grade spirit stones?"

"I'm rich, I'm really rich now!"
