291: The deputy city lord of Jiuyang City started to act up!
Just as Lu Hao and Daoist Tian Qiong were rushing to Lanfeng Sect, the Vice City Lord of Nine Sun City began to act up.
After Gu Old Head left the City Lord's Mansion, Lei Hui took out the four hundred eighty supreme-grade spirit stones he had just acquired and fell into deep thought.
"I never expected such a wealthy family to come to my Nine Sun City. To casually spend five hundred supreme-grade spirit stones so generously, he must have even more supreme-grade spirit stones in his possession!"
"I just don't know his background. If possible..."
Lei Hui was in a dilemma.
Under normal circumstances, given his status, he wouldn't harbor any ulterior motives towards other customers in Nine Sun City, but Lu Hao was different!
He simply appeared too rich!
Someone who could easily produce five hundred supreme-grade spirit stones must surely have at least several thousand supreme-grade spirit stones in his possession, right?
This was absolutely an astronomical sum for Lei Hui!
But he still didn't know the other party's background. What if he was a big shot?
Lei Hui's cultivation was merely at the sixth level of Nascent Void. In Thousand Stars State, he couldn't be considered a master; there were countless people stronger than him.
After a period of contemplation, Lei Hui finally made up his mind!
He would personally visit Lu Hao to find out what kind of person Lu Hao truly was!
If possible, he would like to associate with such a lavish individual; perhaps he could even gain some benefits from him.
With this thought, Lei Hui's figure flickered, and he quickly vanished from the City Lord's Mansion. A moment later, he arrived outside the residence Lu Hao had just purchased.
Lei Hui stopped outside the Formation and loudly said:
"Fellow Daoist, I am Lei Hui, the Vice City Lord of Nine Sun City. Congratulations on purchasing the most luxurious residence in my Nine Sun City. May I have the honor of making your acquaintance?"
Lei Hui's voice rang out, but no sound came from within the Formation for a long time.
At this moment, everyone was cultivating inside the Hunyuan Pagoda, so they naturally couldn't perceive the changes outside. Lu Hao had just left, so no matter how Lei Hui inquired, no one would respond to him.
After Lei Hui finished speaking, he waited for a moment, but found no response from within. He couldn't help but frown, and a hint of dissatisfaction began to breed in his heart.
He was, after all, the Vice City Lord of Nine Sun City. To personally visit and befriend this newcomer to Nine Sun City was already him lowering himself. He never expected this person to be so disrespectful, not even giving a reply!
But in that brief moment, Lei Hui looked into the Formation, as if he saw an extremely dense spiritual energy, which he could even feel from outside the Formation.
What surprised Lei Hui the most was the faint aura emanating from within the Formation. Just by taking a slight breath, he felt his cultivation within his body boiling!
In his impression, only thirty supreme-grade spirit stones had been buried inside; such an unusual phenomenon shouldn't appear!
Since that was the case, he wanted to see what was truly inside!
The Formation outside this residence was personally set up by the City Lord's Mansion, so it naturally couldn't stop him, the Vice City Lord.
He looked at the Formation in front of him, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, a small gap opened in the Formation, just enough for Lei Hui to enter alone.
The moment the Formation opened, an unimaginable surge of spiritual energy, like a wild horse unbridled, wildly rushed towards Lei Hui!
It even came with the supreme-grade auxiliary cultivation heavenly treasures and earthly treasures that Lu Hao had arranged within the Formation, causing his cultivation within his body to uncontrollably circulate wildly. A cultivation speed he had never experienced before appeared in Lei Hui's mind!
Lei Hui stared blankly at the scene before him, his brain even short-circuiting for a moment. He quickly rushed into the Formation and then closed it.
He greedily savored the extremely dense spiritual energy within the Formation and the feeling of accelerated cultivation.
"This... what's going on!"
"What's the deal with this residence? Such a residence, yet it only sold for five hundred supreme-grade spirit stones? If he had known earlier what it was like inside, he wouldn't have sold it even for ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones!"
Cultivating inside, he was confident he could reach the ninth level of Nascent Void within a few decades! Once he reached the ninth level of Nascent Void, he could directly apply to join the Five Great Powers and immediately become an Elder among them.
That status and treatment would be immeasurably better than being outside!
As soon as he thought of this, Lei Hui's Face became incredibly gloomy. That damned Gu Old Head, to sell such a cultivation Holy Land for five hundred supreme-grade spirit stones...
So he quickly sent a voice transmission to Gu Old Head.
Gu Old Head returned to his shop, lay back on his chair, and entered a state of bunk, his Face still grim, clearly indicating that the Vice City Lord's matter today had greatly displeased him.
Suddenly, he received a voice transmission:
"Gu Old Head, you get over to that five hundred supreme-grade spirit stone residence immediately, right now!!!"
As soon as he saw that it was the Vice City Lord's message, Gu Old Head's body jolted, and he quickly got up and flew towards the target location.
At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in his mind.
"Why would the Vice City Lord call me to a residence that's already been sold?"
But soon, he knew the answer.
...
A moment later, Gu Old Head also appeared outside the Formation. Lei Hui noticed Gu Old Head's arrival and opened the Formation to let him in.
The moment the Formation opened, Gu Old Head was completely dumbfounded...
Is this the Immortal Realm? How can the spiritual energy be so abundant?! How has my cultivation speed increased so much!?
Is this still the residence I sold today? It shouldn't be, I remember the spiritual energy wasn't nearly this dense back then...
Lei Hui said from the side:
"Gu Old Head, did you just sell this residence today?"
"Ah, yes, sold it for five hundred supreme-grade spirit stones..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Hui immediately flared up in anger and reprimanded him:
"Look! Is this place only worth five hundred supreme-grade spirit stones? Huh?! Are you a pig-brain? Can this be sold?! It wouldn't be sold even for ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones!"
Gu Old Head heard this and weakly said:
"City Lord, when I came here today, it was perfectly fine; there was no such situation. I'm not an idiot; if I had known, would I have sold it?"
"Then what do you say is going on?"
"Could it be that the owner who bought this residence set it up himself? I saw him spend lavishly when he bought the residence."
Lei Hui quickly said without even thinking:
"With my discerning eye, I can tell that the arrangements inside are worth at least over ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones. Ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones, do you know what kind of concept that is?!"
