554 Fruitful Reward
Liu Xiyuan!
He was known as the most powerful Jianghu elite on China's Battle God leaderboard! As the faction leader of the most powerful faction – Xuanjian, he was considered to be the one and only elite that could break through True Nirvana Stage and step foot in higher cultivation! Until now, he had already been training at this seven-story pagoda for almost a hundred days. However, the higher one's cultivation was the harder it was to achieve a breakthrough! Though he had been training non-stop, he still stopped at Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana Stage.
Naturally, he felt angry and frustrated since he could not achieve any breakthrough so far. Seeing that Liu Xiyuan was having a bad time, Liu Chunyi uttered in an extremely respectful manner, "Xuanxin's illness is returning…"
"Why do you have to bother me with such small business? Just go and ask Elder Luo to treat her!" demanded Liu Xiyuan impatiently.
"This…" Liu Chunyi gulped and said, "Well, I befriended an alchemist earlier. So, I thought that Elder Luo was useless to us… As a result, I kind of offended him…"
"What an idiot! Do you know who Elder Luo is? Even I have to show him some respect! How dare you offend him? It doesn't matter anymore! Just go and ask that alchemist that you befriended to treat Xuanxin! I remember that his pill was really effective!"
"Uhm… Master Ma doesn't possess that pill anymore… The one that concocted that pill was another alchemist!"
"Cut the crap! I don't care who he is! Just go and ask him to come here! Don't you forget Liu Xuanxin's usefulness! Our twenty years' worth of preparation would be wasted if she dies!"
"I do remember Liu Xuanxin's usefulness… But… That alchemist made a request that crossed the line…"
"Nonsense! As compared to Liu Xuanxin's cultivation, is there anything more important than that?"
"That kid wanted me to give up the Dragon Void Sword in exchange for saving Liu Xuanxin's life! Should… Should I agree to this request?"
"What?!"
Earlier, Liu Xiyuan sounded really generous by saying that he could give anything in exchange for Liu Xuanxin's life. Things changed when he heard that the alchemist was asking for the Dragon Void Sword. Instantly, he was rendered speechless. One could see that the Dragon Void Sword was the treasure of the Liu Family. Surrendering it to others was simply out of the question! Speaking of which, Liu Xuanxin did carry some importance in Liu Family as well. Letting her die was definitely not an option!
"It that's the case… A long time ago, you had connections with some high-ranking military personnel, right? I remember that they forged a batch of replicated Dragon Void Sword. Just grab one in exchange for the pill!"
Liu Xiyuan put some thought into it and said.
"Using a replicated sword to fool that kid? What if he somehow manages to identify the authenticity of the sword?"
"Kill him and grab the pill if he manages to identify the replicated sword! You should know this better than anyone else! Bring nine elders with you! He will have to succumb even if he is a dragon or tiger!"
"Okay! I'm going to do it now!"
Both eyes with a menacing aura, Liu Chunyi was more alive than before.
.....
At Bei Xuan Faction.
The auction had finally come to an end. All six martial arts manuals were sold out and their prices were higher than he expected. Each martial arts manual's started the bid at one hundred million. In the end, Heart Gouging Dragon Claw was sold for four hundred million, Seven-Two Ways to Master Ringen for five hundred million, Divine Dragon Rod Skill for six hundred million, Ultimate King Kong Kick for four hundred and fifty million, Cloud Stepping Movement Skill for six hundred and fifty million, and finally Muscle Bone Disruptor was sold for four hundred million!
A total of three billion was transferred to Chen Xiaobei's bank account within a night – making him the happiest man on earth! The quality of the martial arts manuals was the reason why they could be sold at such a high price. Beyond that, the folks from Dragon City Jianghu actually wanted to befriend Chen Xiaobei. Knowing that the opportunity to befriend Chen Xiaobei was presented before them, the crowd immediately competed with each other to purchase the martial arts manuals.
In the end, the price of each martial arts manual increased exponentially. Though some of them bought the martial arts manuals at an unreasonable price, they still felt happy being able to talk to Chen Xiaobei. Of course, the happiest man on that night was Chen Xiaobei!
After winning the previous battle, Chen Xiabei's reputation increased tremendously. From that day onwards, no one would have the guts to mess with Bei Xuan Faction anymore. With the purpose of building a good relationship with Chen Xiaobei, most of the faction leaders took the initiative to propose becoming allied forces with Bei Xuan Faction.
Reputation was equivalent to fame and fame is equivalent to face! On that night, Chen Xiaobei's head was bigger than heaven. Even Feng Qingyang managed to draw some attention to himself! Having three billion being transferred to his bank account, Chen Xiaobei's total wealth had increased to ten billion! The gap between his wealth and Lan Family's wealth drew closer. With his four billion worth of property, four hundred and ninety million worth of cash, and a one hundred and fifty million worth of IOUs, Chen Xiaobei could use his money to invest in something to continue making even more money!
To Chen Xiaobei, possessing more wealth than Lan Family was no longer a dream! That being said, he could a sense of euphoria slowly filling his body. Other than money and fame, Chen Xiaobei received something that no one knew! That was Three Realms Merit Points! Killing Elder Qiu and nine Japanese with lightning granted him sixty thousand merit points.
All those nine Japanese had done something good for their country – their level of villainy was not as high. The total merit points Chen Xiaobei gained from all nine of them were only thirty thousand merit points! On the contrary, Elder Qiu must have done something really evil in his life. He was classified as Three Generation Villain! Him alone granted Chen Xiaobei thirty thousand merit points!
Ding!
[Your current merit points is 260,000. You need another 40,000 merit points to proceed to the next level! (Charm: 26,000. Luck: 26,000)]
"I just need a little more merit points to go to next level! Owning three hundred and thirty thousand merit points was my highest record! It seems like I'm about to break that record! Hahaha!"
"Sifu! Members of Xuanjian Faction are here! They are standing outside the Puzzle Formation! Liu Chunyi led a group of people personally. Other than that, the nine most powerful elders from Xuanjian Faction are with him as well! Clearly, they are not friendly!"
Upon hearing that, the crowd was baffled.
"They are here to seek revenge! Xuanjian Faction plays a rather domination role in the current state of Jianghu! Knowing that Elder Qiu died here, they would definitely not let you off the hook easily!"
Faction Leader Chen, I think it's best for you not to meet them for now. Xuanjian Faction is not the kind of faction that you can afford to mess with!"
"That's right! Faction Leader Chen, you should make a move now! Let us explain the current situation to Liu Chunyi first. You can then return later. If not, you are going to risk your life by meeting with them!"
...
The crowd was worried that Chen Xiaobei would lose his life to the members of Xuanjian Faction. However, Chen Xiaobei looked indifferent.
"Qingyang, bring them to Elder Qiu's body and wait for me!" Chen Xiaobei ordered.
"This… I will heed!"
Though Feng Qingyang was extremely worried, he did not dare to disobey Chen Xiaobei.
"Everyone, please come with me!" Chen Xiaobei instructed with a smile.
