The Crazy Son-In-Law

The door of the monitoring room opened and Yang Zino walked in.

“Everything is normal,” she said as she stood to the side behind Haitang.

“Let’s go, follow me into the arena and take a look,” Haitang put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the door, with Yang Zino following closely behind.

Xiao Shun was very sensitive to cultivators, he could feel the aura fluctuations from cultivators’ bodies. Suddenly, a strong aura fluctuation appeared in the arena, immediately catching his attention.

Xiao Shun looked up to see two graceful figures quickly coming into view in the stands across from him. When he saw them, they were also looking at him.

The two figures were naturally Haitang and Yang Zino.

Xiao Shun smiled calmly and waved at the two of them.

Seeing his intentionally provocative smile, Yang Zino’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she gritted her teeth in irritation.

Although they were hundreds of meters apart, the subtle expressions on their faces were still clearly visible to the two powerful cultivators.

Haitang’s expression remained indifferent, he nodded slightly to Xiao Shun.

“He’s provoking us,” Yang Zino said.

“I can see that,” Haitang replied.

“If we kill him, will the government react?” Yang Zino asked.

“They may cancel this year’s Hero Cup, which would be of no benefit to either of us. So we’d rather it go badly than be cancelled,” Haitang responded.

“Don’t we also have government connections? Can’t we suppress it?” Yang Zino said.

“Maybe elsewhere, but not in Oars. We don’t have any influence there,” Haitang replied.

They fell silent for a few seconds. Seeing Yang Zino’s frustrated expression, Haitang spoke up to comfort her, “Let’s wait and see. In any case, once the Hero Cup is over, he’ll be a dead man. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself over someone who’s going to die soon.”

“Thank you,” Yang Zino said gratefully.

As time went on, the prices of the auctioned pellets kept going higher and higher.

“Energy pellets, opening bid 500, 000, increment 10, 000, sold in packs of 10!”

“550, 000!”

“600, 000!”

“…”

“1. 2 million!”

It quickly reached the highest price energy pellets had gone for at the previous auction.

“1. 2 million going once! 1. 2 million going twice!”

At this time, Yi Rui who was sitting behind Xiao Shun raised his paddle and shouted, “1. 5 million!”

Boom!

Immediately, a commotion erupted all around, with over a hundred gazes looking over at the same time.

“So generous, bro. A wave of your hand is over 10 million,” someone said.

“As expected of the Yi family of Melmond, going all out as soon as he bids,” someone who recognized Yi Rui said.

“My god, energy pellets have already gone up to 1. 5 million, not worth it at all,” someone else questioned.

Yi Rui had a smug smile on his face, he loved being looked up to and glorified like this.

“Just over 10 million, that’s like the price of a car,” he said.

“Not like some poor losers, the auction is almost over and they haven’t raised their paddle even once. They clearly just came to watch the show,” he said meaningfully with a mocking tone.

This insult had a wide range, and many who knew their financial situation was lacking and had only come to watch felt unhappy being called out like this.

1. 5 million was already sky high, no one continued bidding, and it quickly hammered down and sold. A member of the Old School Society brought 10 energy pellets over to Yi Rui.

Xiao Shun didn’t bid because he looked down on the pellets the Old School Society was exhibiting, and he didn’t need to be a money fool. He naturally didn’t care about Yi Rui’s mocking words either, he wouldn’t get worked up over such minor characters who would only make it a few chapters.

On the other side, Wu Jian spent 6 million to buy 10 health pellets for Wen Ting, but she rejected them so he gave them all to Wen Yan instead.

If he couldn’t give them to the main character, then he would use them to buy over the people around her.

Sure enough, after Wen Yan received the health pellets from Wu Jian, she suddenly felt this person wasn’t so bad – not only was he the Rivet Town Old School Society branch head, but he was also so rich. The key was he was generous, spending millions as soon as he opened his wallet.

“Wen Ting, I think you should consider Jian. I feel he is genuine towards you. Although he’s a bit older, older men will be good to you,” she whispered into Wen Ting’s ear.

Wen Ting glanced at her but didn’t respond.

The energy pellets were the most expensive pellets the Old School Society had exhibited in the morning. Next, they should bring out some of their best stock right? Otherwise this auction was really lacking in excitement.

The highest bid so far was only a little over 10 million. This should just be a prelude.

Sure enough, the host walked to the center of the venue and loudly declared in an exaggerated tone, “Esteemed guests who have come from afar to attend the Hero Cup fighting tournament hosted by our Old School Society, to show our sincerity, in addition to the dozens of pellets already auctioned, our Old School Society has also prepared 3 skin pellets, 1 pulse pellet, and 1 foundation pellet personally refined by Master Zhou Tianheng Zhou. They will also be auctioned next. We welcome everyone to actively bid.”

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers immediately erupted from the stands.

Then, Old School Society members carefully brought up several exquisite wooden boxes onto the auction stage.

“Skin pellets, as everyone knows, are elixirs for healing external injuries. Opening bid, 500, 000 each, increment of 100, 000, sold in a pack of 3!”

“550, 000!”

“…”

“800, 000!”

In just a few minutes, the 3 skin pellets hammered down at a price of 10 million each.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Pulse pellet, opening bid 30 million, increment 1 million…”

Pulse pellets were used to repair damaged meridians that occurred during cultivation. It was eventually sold for 150 million.

“Foundation pellet, opening bid 100 million…”

A must-have pellet for Foundation stage cultivators to consolidate their energy. It was finally sold for 530 million.

After this auction, the Old School Society had nearly 1 billion in revenue. Xiao Shun felt they were practically robbing people, because the cost of making these pellets was negligible compared to the prices they were sold for. It was basically pure profit.

Yao Cen finally understood now why Xiao Shun had said he was bringing her out here to broaden her horizons. To think such a tiny pill could sell for billions, it really opened her eyes.

“Can you also make these immortal pills?” She leaned in towards Xiao Shun and asked softly, exhaling a floral fragrance that immediately stirred his heart. They had been living together for years now, yet he still couldn’t resist that alluring scent.

“Of course I can, your husband is very capable. But dear, those aren’t immortal pills…” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

Yao Cen raised her brows and asked, “You can also make that one that sold for over 500 million earlier?” If he could make a single pellet that sold for 5 billion, even if she worked herself to death she couldn’t match his earning speed.

“Naturally, but the ingredients are hard to find, probably couldn’t buy them even if I had the money,” Xiao Shun said. That foundation pellet required an extremely rare spiritual herb.

“Bragging,” Yao Cen said with pursed lips.

Xiao Shun just smiled without replying, since he didn’t have the ingredients he really couldn’t prove it. It did sound a bit like boasting.
