77: Wu Family of Beihan City

At first, a few people thought Su Fan was joking.

But when Su Fan took out item lists, and then a large number of Spirit Stones and gold and silver for his Disciples to purchase, they realized Su Fan was serious.

“Su Fan, are you really going to build your new Sect at the foot of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect’s mountain?”

Chu Qinglian felt that Su Fan had gone mad.

“Who said I was going to build it at the foot of the mountain?” Su Fan showed a puzzled expression, “I’m going to exterminate the entire Blood Shadow Demon Sect, occupy this entire mountain range, and establish a new Sect.”

He’s crazy, he’s crazy!

It’d be better to say you’re building it at the foot of the mountain!

“Ling’er, you and Gu Yuan are a team. You two will be responsible for purchasing the items on this list.”

Xiao Ling’er took it. It mostly contained huge timber and various stone materials, to be used for constructing various buildings such as stone tablets, pillars, arenas, and steps.

“Wuchen, you and Yu Ruoxue are a team. You two will be responsible for purchasing the items on this list.”

A long, light yellow scroll detailed hundreds of spirit plants and medicinal herbs, most of which could be used for setting up formations and Alchemy.

After receiving the lists, neither of them had any doubts about Su Fan. They paired up and headed straight for Bei Han City.

“Su Fan, you’re really crazy. Do you know that Lei Province hasn’t had a Sect or major power wiped out for over a hundred years? Every Sect has its own trump cards, which are beyond your imagination!”

“Trump cards?”

Su Fan became interested, his eyes fixed on Chu Qinglian.

Chu Qinglian sighed.

“This was originally a secret of the Qingyang Sword Sect, known only to the Sect Master and Vice Sect Leader. For example, the Qingyang Sword Sect, on the surface, only has one Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm expert presiding over it. But in reality, once the Sect’s grand formation is activated, it can temporarily borrow the power of its ancestors, summoning six Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm experts, and sustain them for a quarter of an hour.”

Hiss!

Six Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm experts?

Although it’s only for a quarter of an hour, anyone who dares to try and destroy the Sect would be completely annihilated, wouldn’t they?

“This is just one of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s methods. The Blood Shadow Demon Sect has been able to survive in Lei Province for so long, so it must also have some hidden trump cards. The accumulated power of a Sect over many years is far beyond your imagination.”

“Although you nearly wiped out the Ji Family last time, the Ji Family is still far inferior to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.”

Chu Qinglian felt that Su Fan was overly confident in his own strength after destroying the Ji Family, which was why she was earnestly trying to persuade him.

But Su Fan actually had no choice.

He had to destroy this Blood Shadow Demon Sect!

He also had to occupy this Bei Han Mountain Range!

All of this was related to the yin yang mirror... After Xiao Ling’er and Gu Yuan went to the street, they didn’t wander around. After inquiring about the nearby large timber and stone market, they headed straight for their destination.

The timber and stone market wasn't just one storefront; it was an entire marketplace.

It not only had building materials like timber and stone, but also antiques, jade, calligraphy, paintings, carvings, and more, making it quite lively.

“Boss, how much do raw stone materials like these cost?”

“Ten taels per ton.”

“What if I buy a hundred tons?”

The boss immediately perked up!

The cost of raw stone materials wasn't high; it was mainly the labor cost.

If a hundred tons could be sold in one go, he could earn a lot of money.

“Please come inside, young lady.”

“No need, I still need to look around and buy other things. Just give me the price directly.”

“Three taels per ton, no less.”

Xiao Ling’er stiffened.

So, your first quoted price was purely to earn a full seven taels per ton from me?

What a black-hearted merchant!

Xiao Ling’er, who came from the Servant Peak, found it hard to change her frugal habits, so she continued to haggle with the boss at the jade shop.

Just then, a figure slowly approached Xiao Ling’er, making her alert.

“Who!”

Xiao Ling’er instantly drew her sword, keeping this ill-intentioned person two meters away from her.

“Heroine, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”

Xiao Ling’er scrutinized the young man behind her. He was about thirty years old, his cultivation was probably below the Origin Opening Realm, he wore luxurious brocade clothes, and on his hands were three different storage rings, all carved with intricate, dazzling formation patterns.

His steps were unsteady, his smile was fake, and he had the air of a dissolute Young Master.

“Heroine, I am Wu Duojin, the Third Young Master of the Wu Family in Bei Han City. I have some influence in this area. These hundred tons of jade are not worth much. Today, I will take the liberty of gifting them to you.”

Wu Duojin swayed his head, waved his hand grandly, and handed three taels of silver to the shopkeeper.

“Young Master Wu, this... these hundred tons are worth three hundred taels...”

The shopkeeper’s body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with fear.

“Shopkeeper, I’ve helped you close such a big deal, you should at least treat me to a drink as a return favor, wouldn’t you agree?”

“The remaining two hundred and ninety-seven taels, consider them the money for you to treat me to a drink, how about that?”

“Or are you saying that treating me, Wu Duojin, to a drink isn’t worth two hundred and ninety-seven taels?”

Wu Duojin roared, scaring the shopkeeper directly to the ground.

“Yes, it’s worth it. Young Master Wu honoring us by buying stone materials is, is our humble shop’s honor.”

Xiao Ling’er frowned.

She haggled only because she was accustomed to being frugal and didn't want to be swindled.

But in reality, she wasn't short on money, especially since worldly gold and silver were of little use to her.

Haggling was one thing, but this kind of bullying was another.

“No need, I will pay for these stone materials myself.”

With this commotion, Xiao Ling’er also lost her interest in haggling and directly threw three hundred taels of silver onto the counter.

Wu Duojin, seeing this, wasn't annoyed. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and showed an interested smile.

“Heroine, to be frank, I took the liberty of disturbing you because I have a request.”

“What is it?”

Except when she was with Su Fan, Xiao Ling’er always had a cold expression in other public settings, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.

At this moment, her attitude towards Wu Duojin was not much better; her tone was icy, completely disregarding his status as a Young Master of the Zhang Family or Wu Family.

“I want to buy this pet beast in your hands. It looks quite cute. Heroine, how many Spirit Stones would you be willing to part with it for?”

Pet beast?

Little Gu Yuan, hearing this, looked at Wu Duojin with an unfriendly expression, already feeling the urge to tear him apart.

Xiao Ling’er’s face was equally angry. She directly drew her sword and created an ice wall over a meter high on the smooth ground.

The ice wall stood between them, effectively barring Wu Duojin.

“This is my Yao Race companion, not my pet beast. The first time is a warning; if there’s a next time, I’ll directly cut off your tongue!”

Xiao Ling’er didn't want to cause trouble, so she turned her head and ignored Wu Duojin.

The stone materials would take another hour to prepare, so she immediately turned to leave and prepare to purchase the next item.

But Wu Duojin stopped her.

“Little Heroine, listen carefully, I am the Young Master of the Wu Family in Bei Han City! I want to buy your pet beast, will you sell it or not?”

“No!”

Xiao Ling’er quickly thrust out two swords.

She had given Wu Duojin one chance to be warned, but unfortunately, he didn’t cherish it.

In that case, there was no choice but to cut off his tongue!

Xiao Ling’er’s sword point landed on Wu Duojin’s chest, paralyzing his entire body, and then she pulled his tongue out long.

With one sword stroke, only half of his tongue remained!

A large amount of fresh blood gushed out.

Xiao Ling’er had no intention of stopping the bleeding for him; instead, she kicked him away.

“Get lost, you’re blocking this old lady’s way!”

The shopkeeper of the stone material store, seeing this scene, was so scared that his eyes widened, unable to utter a single word.

The Wu, the Wu Family’s man.

This girl actually injured a man from the Wu Family!

Is she tired of living!
