Free Web NovelThe East Pearl Tower's auction was nearing its end, and the massive luminous pearl on the roof cast a soft light, illuminating the seaside in the twilight.
Li Mo and the East Pearl Tower had already completed the transaction.
About half of the items on the list probably went into his pocket, and the money too. He planned to put the Heaven And Earth Treasure and similar items into Qingyuan Sect's treasury.
"Hmm?"
Taking back the sumaru object he had handed over, as well as the sumaru object containing the auction items, Li Mo frowned.
"What's wrong? Are there fewer things inside?"
Qian Bufan asked nervously.
Elder Qian was still the same old Qian who, if he didn't pick up money when he went out, would feel like he'd lost money.
"Something's not quite right." Li Mo handed over the sumaru object.
Elder Qian quickly took it, and his Yi Soul sensed it, then he froze.
No problem... "I clearly bought so many things, so why did my money increase instead? I can't spend it all, I just can't spend it all..."
Qian Bufan: "You..."
Although he knew he couldn't beat him now, he still really wanted to punch this kid a couple of times.
At this moment, Li Mo smiled and said, "Elder Qian, I've taken out everything I need from this sumaru object. You can keep the rest."
"Don't be so handsome, really, you are truly the most dashing, spirited, and awe-inspiring young man I've ever seen in my life, capable of making all directions bow with just a shake of your body. My admiration for you is like a surging river..."
Elder Qian's tone and expression instantly switched.
His strength was directly related to his wealth.
Before he came this time, he was prepared for the money tree to wither... But he never expected that he bought things, spent no money at all, and even the sumaru object Xiao Mo gave him had an extra five hundred xuan crystals, which should have been earned from the auction.
Is this person's aesthetic constantly changing?
Just the way Xiao Li handed over the sumaru object, and the generosity of his gesture, let alone the fact that he already looked like a young man in splendid clothes and on a spirited horse, even a pig would be the most handsome in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at this moment.
"I only contributed a trivial amount of money. The Sect gave me more, Elder Qian, there's no need for this."
Seeing Elder Qian's Sichuan opera face-changing, Li Mo laughed in spite of himself.
He genuinely didn't care.
But even if he did care, he hadn't lost anything. Just the hammer treasure and the national fortune were beyond monetary measure, and the elders in the Sect had never been stingy.
All things considered, Qingyuan Sect had given him more.
"Well, Lan Tian and everyone at East Pearl Tower are tired today. How about we treat them again before we leave?"
"Good, good, good, I'm treating today! Everyone, let's have a pig trotters feast!"
"Holy cow, Elder Qian, you're actually treating us to a meal!"
Li Mo looked at him in shock.
However, he quickly understood the reason.
That night, the East Pearl Tower was brightly lit, complementing the deep ocean tide. That evening, the already scarce stock of pig trotters in the Qizhen Sea Market quickly sold out. All guests who participated in the auction were welcome to stay for dinner.
In a private room on the third floor, Li Mo didn't go to eat.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested in big pig trotters.
"Burp..."
Li Mo put down a very old sea ginseng and helplessly patted his stomach.
His digestion and absorption capabilities were already extremely strong, but they were still limited.
Ordinary people use Heaven And Earth Treasure of various properties for Alchemy. He had just consumed three plants at once and was now moving the exotic energy within them into his inner Heaven And Earth.
"Only when all three hundred sixty-five points are lit up can the inner Heaven And Earth's Origin Qi be considered abundant."
"If I rely on eating by myself, how long will it take?"
"I wonder if there are any martial arts that promote digestion?"
Li Mo brewed a cup of tea for digestion, stood at the window, pondered for a moment, and realized he hadn't heard of any.
But it didn't matter.
He'd ask Ice Cube when he got back; maybe he'd have one soon.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from the next room.
Li Mo was startled, seemingly hearing the rustling of leaves colliding, making a sound like coins clinking.
Next door.
Qian Bufan was counting the sumaru object, preparing to categorize it for the treasury, his eyes gleaming.
At a certain moment, he felt something in his heart and burst into hearty laughter.
"Learning to get money is easy; learning to spend money is hard."
A money tree sprang up from the ground, its golden branches swaying, each leaf shaped like a coin, imprinted with his laughing portrait.
The Qizhen Sea Market was already lively, and now a rain of money began to fall.
Many exotic treasures resonated, and for a time, a kaleidoscope of colors emerged throughout the Qizhen Sea Market.
At the same time, a familiar voice sounded in Li Mo's ears.
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in 'Qian Bufan' and helping him achieve Outer Scenery.】
【Investment Feedback: One Mithril Heavenly Book Seal.】
"Elder Qian has also broken through," Li Mo said with a relieved smile, then wiped his nosebleed and mumbled, "Why is the sea ginseng's Yang Qi so abundant too?" Then he summoned the Somersault Cloud and headed towards the East Sea.
He planned to practice the Eight Nine Arcane Art at the bottom of the sea... Meanwhile.
In a restaurant in the Qizhen Sea Market.
Qiao Ziyu, the steward elder... a group of Lingxi Gate disciples sat together, silently watching the money tree grow vigorously in the distance.
On this trip, they had arrived aggressively, intending to strike a heavy blow, to cut deeply into Qingyuan Sect's already meager foundation.
Then, at the auction, they would make a bold move, secure the guixu catalogue, and return laden with treasures.
Finally, at Qingyuan Sect's grand ceremony and engagement conference, they would display their kingly Aura, showing the heroes of the world who was the true Zhen Prefecture Grand Sect.
Where did it all go wrong?
Oh, the story probably started with a pig trotter...
At this moment, a Lingxi Gate disciple returned from outside.
"Hey, East Pearl Tower is having a pig trotters feast today..."
"Get out!"
"Alright..."
"Leave the pig trotters!"
"..."
Qiao Ziyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed a pig trotter and bit down hard, the bones crunching loudly:
"This is too much, absolutely too much! What does this mean? This is mocking us!"
The steward elder smacked his lips and murmured, "I wonder if there's a possibility that Qian Bufan simply loves eating this stuff, I don't know who invented it..."
Qiao Ziyu gave him a death glare.
...Cough.
The steward lightly coughed and got back to the point: "Qian Bufan's martial arts, the more wealth he controls, the stronger his strength becomes. This is enough to prove that he gained a lot this time."
"At this rate, Qingyuan Sect's foundation is probably much stronger than just a little bit."
His words made all the disciples ponder.
Changing Sects was quite unrealistic. Most Sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trained their disciples from a young age.
Especially Sects like Lingxi Gate, which not only cultivated martial arts but also practiced esoteric arts.
They could only choose one path and stick with it. freёwebnovel.com
But it was foreseeable that once Qingyuan Sect established itself this time, and with the future existence of Li Mo and Ying Bing, who would shine throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Lingxi Gate would probably soon disappear into the dust of the Eastern Wasteland Region.
Qingyuan Sect wouldn't even need to target them; one mountain cannot hold two tigers because the two cannot survive.
"As things stand, we must find a way to trap Li Mo in the East Sea."
"Only if Li Mo is absent from the engagement banquet and Qian Bufan is absent from the promotion ceremony will we have a chance."
"Then how can we achieve ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ this?"
