170: Chapter 170: Spending a staggering 100 million! The joy of the super-rich is this simple and brutal!

Sunlight spilled into the room through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Su Yang sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Lin Lang stood to the side, having changed into clean casual clothes.

Her posture was extremely respectful.

She had now fully accepted her identity as a maid.

Su Yang took a sip of tea.

The tea was fragrant and refreshing.

"Your skills have improved," Su Yang praised lightly.

A trace of joy actually welled up in Lin Lang's heart.

"Thank you for the praise, Master. This was brewed with spring water that I warmed with my True Qi."

A knock on the door sounded.

Chu Ling walked to the entryway with an expressionless face and pulled open the door.

Standing outside the door was Deputy Director Li Changfeng of the 749 Bureau.

Li Changfeng was carrying several extremely exquisite wooden food boxes, his face full of smiles.

When he saw that it was Chu Ling who opened the door, he was so scared that he took a half-step back.

He had watched last night's surveillance footage several times.

This woman in Qing dynasty official attire had thrown a fat man away with her bare hands.

"Is Consultant Su awake?" Li Changfeng asked cautiously.

"Let him in," Su Yang's voice came from the living room.

Li Changfeng quickly walked into the living room and carefully placed the food boxes on the dining table.

"Consultant Su, sorry to disturb your rest. I went to a time-honored brand to queue up and buy some Beijing breakfast."

Li Changfeng opened the food boxes as he spoke.

Steaming meat buns, golden-fried jiaoquan, and two bowls of hot douzhi.

The aroma instantly filled the entire room.

Su Yang walked to the dining table and sat down.

He picked up a meat bun and took a bite.

The skin was thin, the filling was large, and it was full of juice.

"Director Li, you are thoughtful. Coming over so early in the morning, it surely isn't just as simple as delivering food," Su Yang said while eating.

Li Changfeng smiled awkwardly.

He stood to the side and dared not sit at all.

"As for last night's incident, the bureau has already cleaned everything up."

"Tiger Zhao of the Sea Emperor Palace was classified as an accidental fall."

"The Wang family's assets have also all been liquidated."

Li Changfeng reported on the work progress.

Su Yang nodded.

He had already received text message notifications for these.

A huge sum of 18 billion.

Plus the 2.5 billion transferred by Tiger Zhao.

He now had 20.5 billion in disposable cash under his name.

This was definitely an extremely terrifying number.

"Money received. The work efficiency is not bad."

Su Yang took a sip of the douzhi.

His brows furrowed slightly.

He wasn't used to this taste.

Seeing Su Yang frown, Li Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly took out a rosewood box from his briefcase.

He held it with both hands and handed it to Su Yang.

"Consultant Su. Besides reporting on work, I also brought you an invitation today."

Su Yang put down his chopsticks.

He looked at the wooden box on the table.

The surface of the wooden box was carved with extremely complex cloud patterns.

It looked like it had some age.

"What is this?" Su Yang asked.

Li Changfeng opened the wooden box.

A purple-gold card lay quietly inside.

The card was neither gold nor jade.

It emitted a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.

"This is a purple-gold invitation sent by Tianbao Pavilion from the cultivation world."

"The triennial underground treasure appraisal conference will be held tonight."

"The location is at Wolong Mountain Villa in the suburbs of Beijing."

Su Yang picked up the purple-gold card.

It felt cold to the touch.

"Tianbao Pavilion? What do they do?" Su Yang asked casually.

"Tianbao Pavilion is the largest chamber of commerce in the cultivation world."

"Their background is extremely mysterious."

"It is said that even the few major hidden Sects dare not easily provoke them," Li Changfeng explained in detail.

"They sell everything. Magic Treasure, Medicinal Pill, top-tier Cultivation Technique, and even Yao Beast cubs."

"As long as you can afford the price, Tianbao Pavilion can provide it."

Upon hearing about Yao Beast cubs, Su Yang glanced at the ice crystal bracelet on his wrist.

Little White Strip was still sleeping.

This guy had been eating too much lately and was digesting energy.

"Sounds interesting." Su Yang threw the purple-gold card onto the table.

Li Changfeng continued to add: "The scale of this treasure appraisal conference is unprecedented."

"It is said that the finale item is an incomplete map of an ancient Secret Realm."

"It has attracted countless big shots to come."

"However, the threshold for this conference is extremely high."

"You must verify your funds to enter."

"People with a net worth of less than 5 billion cannot even see the gate of Wolong Mountain Villa."

At this moment, the bedroom door opened.

Reba and Mary walked out in their pajamas.

Reba rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She happened to hear Li Changfeng's last sentence.

"5 billion threshold? That's too exaggerated! That's robbery!" Reba exclaimed.

She had been a top-tier female star for a few years, working hard filming and taking endorsements, but her total net worth added up to only a few hundred million.

5 billion in cash was something many bosses of listed companies couldn't even come up with.

Su Yang smiled.

"It's just 5 billion. Just pocket money," Su Yang's tone was flat.

He now had over 20 billion in his hands.

It was more than enough to attend this conference.

Reba walked over and glanced at the purple-gold card on the table.

"Boss, are you going to buy something?" Reba asked.

"Go take a look. Since we're in Beijing, we have to experience the scene of the cultivation world," Su Yang replied.

Seeing that Su Yang was interested, Li Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

The task the director gave him was considered complete.

Giving this purple-gold card to Su Yang was to win over this terrifying living ancestor.

"Consultant Su. The conference starts at eight tonight. I will arrange for a special car from the bureau to pick you up," Li Changfeng said respectfully.

"No need for a special car. We'll go ourselves," Su Yang refused directly.

"Just send the location of Wolong Mountain Villa to Mary."

Li Changfeng nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Consultant Su. I'll send it right now."

After explaining all the matters, Li Changfeng very tactfully said goodbye and left.

The room door closed.

Only the five of them, Su Yang, were left in the living room.

Su Yang pulled out a tissue and wiped his hands.

"Boss, are we going to see the big world tonight?" Mary came over excitedly.

She loved such occasions where tycoons gathered.

"Go. Of course we're going," Su Yang stood up.

He looked at Reba and Mary in cartoon pajamas, and then glanced at Lin Lang, who was wearing a plain trench coat.

"Since we are going to the venue of such a top-tier chamber of commerce, our attire must keep up. We can't be looked down upon," Su Yang announced domineeringly.

Su Yang took out his mobile phone.

He operated it directly.

"Ding." Reba's phone beeped.

Reba picked up the phone and took a look.

Her eyes instantly widened.

Her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

"One... one hundred million?!" Reba's hand holding the phone was shaking.

A full one hundred million in cash had suddenly been transferred into her account.

"Boss, what are you doing? You don't need to pay that much for maintenance!" Reba blurted out.

After saying this, her face turned red with shame.

She quickly covered her mouth.

Su Yang rolled his eyes.

"In your dreams. This is shopping money for you all," Su Yang pointed at Reba.

"You know fashion styling best. I'll give you a task."

"Take Mary and Maid Lin. Go to the most expensive mall in Beijing. Repackage yourselves from head to toe. Dresses, jewelry, bags, pick the most expensive ones."

"The budget is one hundred million. If you don't spend it all, you're not allowed to eat tonight."

Su Yang's tone was unquestionable.

Reba took a deep breath.

Her heart rate accelerated.

One hundred million in shopping money! This was the ultimate dream of so many women!

"Guarantee to complete the task! Boss, you are too handsome!" Reba jumped up excitedly.

She directly kissed Su Yang on the cheek.

Su Yang touched his cheek.

This girl was getting more and more unrestrained.

Lin Lang stood to the side, completely unable to understand.

It was just buying a few pieces of clothing.

Was it worth spending so much money?

In Yaochi, a top-tier magic robe only cost a few hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

How expensive could this mortal fabric be?

"Sister Lin, don't space out! Go change your clothes! We're going to empty the mall today!" Reba pulled Lin Lang and ran towards the bedroom.

Mary also followed in excitedly.

The Vampire race also loved gorgeous clothes and shiny jewelry.

"Wait a minute," Su Yang stopped them.

"Chu Ling stays. She's not going," Su Yang glanced at the Qing dynasty female zombie standing at the door.

Mary was stunned for a moment.

"Boss. Is Chu Ling not going to buy clothes? Her official uniform is too scary to wear out."

Su Yang shook his head.

"Her clothes and Physical Body have long been integrated. They can't be taken off. Just buy a loose black trench coat and put it on her."

"I have other things to do with her. You three can go."

Reba made a gesture.

"Understood! Boss, wait for our good news!"

Half an hour later.

The three women were dressed.

They rushed out of the presidential suite in a flurry.

They headed straight for the largest luxury shopping center in Beijing.

The spacious room became completely quiet.

Su Yang walked to the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window.

The sunlight was extremely dazzling.

Chu Ling followed him quietly.

Her steps were light.

She didn't make any sound.

Like an absolutely loyal shadow guard.

Su Yang turned around.

He looked at Chu Ling's pale and stunning face.

The corpse qi of the Flying Zombie was too heavy.

Although Chu Ling could initially control her aura, as long as she encountered a Cultivator with slightly higher cultivation, her identity would be instantly seen through.

Tonight's treasure appraisal conference would definitely be full of experts.

If he brought a Flying Zombie radiating corpse qi into the venue, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Others would surely mistake them for evil Cultivators from the Corpse-Driving Sect.

"I need to get you a small object to hide your aura," Su Yang touched his chin.

He flipped his wrist.

He took out a piece of pitch-black wood from the System space.

This was the hundred-year-old lightning-struck wood he had looted from the Wang family's underground treasury last night.

This kind of wood had been tempered by lightning for a long time.

It inherently carried an extremely strong masculine energy.

It was an excellent carrier for drawing a Formation.

Su Yang joined his index and middle fingers of his right hand.

A wisp of pure golden Pure Yang True Fire instantly ignited at his fingertips.

The flame temperature was extremely high.

Even the surrounding air was slightly distorted by the burning.

Su Yang brought the Pure Yang True Fire close to the black lightning-struck wood.

"Crackle! Crackle!" A few sparks erupted from the surface of the lightning-struck wood.

The Impurities inside the wood were quickly burned away by the True Fire.

A few minutes later.

This rough piece of wood was refined into a black wooden tablet that was only half the size of a palm and had an extremely smooth surface.

The wooden tablet emitted a faint fragrance.

Su Yang put away the flame.

Using his finger as a pen, he quickly started carving on the black wooden tablet.

His fingertips flickered with golden light.

Each stroke left a deep Formation pattern on the surface of the wooden tablet.

These Formation patterns were connected head to tail.

Extremely complex.

This was an improved version of the Breath-Concealing Formation.

Specifically designed to isolate extreme Yin energy.

After finishing the carving, Su Yang found a red lanyard from the coffee table drawer.

He threaded the wooden tablet.

"Come here," Su Yang beckoned to Chu Ling.

Chu Ling immediately walked in front of Su Yang.

She lowered her head slightly.

Su Yang raised his hands.

He hung the black wooden tablet engraved with golden patterns around Chu Ling's fair neck.

The wooden tablet was pressed tightly against the skin below Chu Ling's collarbone.

The moment the wooden tablet touched her skin, a miracle happened.

The faint, cold corpse qi on Chu Ling's body disappeared without a trace, as if melting like ice and snow.

Her originally dull, grey eyes also gained a hint of life.

Now, Chu Ling looked like an ice beauty suffering from anemia.

There was no fluctuation of cultivation on her body, and not a trace of evil energy.

Even if an old monster at the Nascent Soul Peak stood in front of her and scanned with Divine Sense, they would definitely not be able to tell that she was a terrifying Purple Thunder Flying Zombie.

"This effect is not bad," Su Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Chu Ling touched the wooden tablet on her chest, feeling her own aura completely locked down.

A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

With this Magical Artifact, she could openly follow her Master.

She no longer had to worry about being besieged as a Prodigy by Cultivators who claimed to be of the Righteous Path.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward," Chu Ling knelt on one knee.

Her voice was cold but full of gratitude.

"Get up. It's just a small object," Su Yang pulled her up casually.

After the preparations were done, Su Yang took out the thunderfire gatling he had just refined last night from the System space.

The six dark golden barrels refracted a cold metallic luster under the sunlight.

The huge gun body was extremely oppressive.

Su Yang held this thousand-jin weapon of mass destruction with one hand, as if he were holding a plastic toy.

He checked the energy slot at the rear of the barrels.

The Heavenly Demon Thunder Bead was quietly embedded inside.

The thunder energy inside was incredibly abundant.

He had only fired it for two seconds last night.

It hadn't even consumed one percent of the thunder bead's energy.

"This weapon is good in every way. It's just a bit too expensive to use," Su Yang stroked the thunder Formation patterns on the barrels.

Although the barrels made of essence of geng metal were hard, they still had wear and tear.

If fired continuously at high intensity, the barrels would eventually be ruined.

He would have to find top-quality Materials to repair them.

However, for Su Yang now, money and Materials were no longer a problem.

He put away the thunderfire gatling.

Su Yang sat back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

He waited quietly for the arrival of the night.

Waiting for this luxurious feast of the cultivation world named Tianbao Pavilion.
