Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 982 - A Pile of Treasures

"Welcome back, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua greeted him when he entered Cultivation Online.

"Are we ascending the Stairway to Heaven soon?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"No, not yet. I am only back temporarily to sell some treasures." Yuan shook his head.

"With that being said, it should be long before I challenge the Stairway to Heaven. I still have some business that requires my attention."

Sometime later, Yuan arrived at the restaurant with the musicians, where he'd first meet with White Lotus.

"Yuan!" White Lotus waved at him from her table.

Of course, she was surrounded by young men that were trying to hit on her again.

When these young men saw Yuan, they sneered in disdain. However, when Yuan released some of his aura, these young men started running for their lives.

"This isn't an appropriate place to show my treasures, but I still want to enjoy this place for a bit before we start our business." Yuan said to her.

"No problem. I was also thinking that we could enjoy the music for a while before our business."New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovel(F)ɪre - novelenglish.net . bin

After ordering some food and tea, the two of them quietly enjoyed the performance at the center of the restaurant.

About an hour later, White Lotus asked him, "Where should we go to do our business?"

"We can just rent a hotel somewhere and do it there," he calmly said.

"That sounds good."

Once they finished their meal and were satisfied with the entertainment, the two of them rented a room at a nearby hotel.

"All right, here are all of the treasures that I am trying to sell." Yuan proceeded to dump all of the treasures he had acquired from the Gu Family and the Blood Sect.

White Lotus stared at the large pile of treasures on the bed with wide eyes.

There were so many treasures that the table wouldn't fit them, hence the bed.

"Th-This is a lot more than what I had in mind…" She muttered in a dazed voice.

The amount of treasures before her eyes at this moment is more than what her family and faction has collected since the beginning of the game… combined.

'How on earth did he acquire so much treasure? It's almost as though he'd robbed an entire sect…' White Lotus was in disbelief.

"Take your time." Yuan said to her as he took a seat at the table and started studying array symbols.

"What are you doing?" She couldn't help but ask.

"I'm studying array symbols. They're more important and widely used than I realized."

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "Yuan, this amount of treasure is too much to look through by myself. If you don't mind, can I have some assistance? My most trusted bodyguard, Jasmine, and my father, happen to be in this city as well."

Of course, it wasn't a coincidence. She had them prepared just in case anything were to happen.

"Sure, I don't mind." Yuan casually said.

"Thank you! I will contact them right away!"

White Lotus logged off for a couple of minutes before returning.

Sometime later, Jasmine and Bai Mengyao showed up at the hotel.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Yuan." Bai Mengyao greeted him with a bright smile.

"Hello, Mister Bai. Sorry to bother you this late."

"It's not a bother at all." He laughed.

"Then the treasures are on the bed. Take your time."

"T-This is…" Jasmine and Bai Mengyao were stunned by the amount of treasures there even though White Lotus had already warned them about it through the phone.

'I thought she was exaggerating when she called it a 'pile' of treasures…' Bai Mengyao cried inwardly.

"Let's get to work, shall we?" White Lotus said to them.

Thus, the three of them started looking through the treasures one by one while Yuan focused on his array symbols.

Although Yuan didn't pay any attention to White Lotus and her group because he trusted them, the beings within his body kept a close eye on their every movement just in case they had any funny ideas.

About an hour later, Bai Mengyao wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in a nervous voice, "Most of these treasures are Earth-grade and Heaven-grade. If I have to be honest, this will bankrupt us if we try to buy all of them."

"I know…" White Lotus sighed.

The two of them had planned on buying all of Yuan's treasure before, but after seeing just how many treasures were available, they immediately gave up such a thought.

"Although I already know what I want, I am going to look through them again just in case." White Lotus said a moment later.

"Me too."

Thus, they started examining the treasures again.

An hour later, White Lotus returned to Yuan and said to him, "We're ready."

Yuan nodded and stopped studying array symbols.

"We'd like to purchase these treasures." Bai Mengyao placed all of the treasures they wanted to buy on the table before him.

There were a total of 52 treasures, and most of them were Earth-grade with a couple of Heaven-grade treasures.

"Sure." Yuan nodded without even checking the treasures.

"For the pricing, in order to make this as far as possible, we will use the COPlayerAuctions for reference. If you have any objections, please let us know."

"I don't mind." Yuan said.

"Great. Most Earth-grade treasures sell for 10 million to 100 million dollars nowadays, and Heaven-grade treasures cost anywhere between 200 million dollars and 400 million dollars depending on its grade and usefulness."

"We have 42 Earth-grade and 10 Heaven-grade treasures. We will let you decide the price for each of them."

Yuan glanced at the treasures and said, "How about 2 billion for all of them?"

"Huh?"

They looked at him with wide eyes.

"Is that too expensive? I don't mind lowering—"

"N-No. That's not it. It's actually cheaper than we thought." Bai Mengyao quickly interrupted.

"It's a discount. Consider it as my gratitude for the past few days. If you want, you can go pick out some more treasures." Yuan said to them.

"Are you sure? We don't want to take advantage of you…" White Lotus was hesitant.

"It's fine." Yuan nodded with a smile.

After all, these treasures were all useless to him, and he wanted them to feel indebted to him just in case he needed their help in the future.
