Emptying the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance's Treasury
Fan Jinyuan and the other two snapped out of their daze and quickly bowed, expressing their gratitude. "Thank you, young master!"
Lu Yang waved his hand and said casually, "Focus on your cultivation; you might need their help in the future."
"We are willing to die for our young master!" The three men made their stance clear, their expressions solemn.
Of course, they had already signed the Heavenly Dao Contract and accepted Lu Yang's employment. Serving as the young master was simply their duty.
Just then, Fan Jinyuan remembered something and said, "By the way, young master, I've been collecting the income of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance for nearly a hundred years since its establishment. In previous years, the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance wasn't as large as it is now, and its income wasn't as high either. All in all, it's about two hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Would you like to take these Mid-Grade Spirit Stones with you, young master?"
Lu Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need to take them. You can use the platform to help me collect rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, herbs, ores, as well as Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifacts, top- Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasures, Lifespan Pills, and other rare items. The necessary expenses will be deducted from this amount."
For Lu Yang right now, he has too many Spirit Stones, more than he can use. Having two hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone more or two hundred million less Mid-Grade Spirit Stones makes little difference. He might as well use them to buy some rare and precious items.
The Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance is a massive platform with far more avenues for acquiring valuable items than the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. The chances of obtaining these things through the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance are very high.
Even if Lu Yang himself doesn't need these things, he can give them to his confidante, relatives and friends, or employees.
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Fan Jinyuan immediately nodded, and then said, "Young Master, the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance's treasury contains some of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you mentioned. These heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been refined into array plates, Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster, talismans, and other items by master-level figures such as array masters and alchemy masters who work closely with the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance, and are sold. If you need them, you can take them."
Lu Yang nodded. "Okay, let's go take a look."
"No problem, young master, this way please!"
Fan Jinyuan and the others led Lu Yang through a series of corridors, descending to the treasure vault area of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance.
The treasure vault was hidden underground, with a heavy black iron gate at the entrance, guarded by two old cultivators in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Both men had white hair and beards, yet their figures were as straight as ancient pine trees. Upon seeing Fan Jinyuan leading his men forward, they bowed in greeting.
These two old cultivators were also members of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance.
According to Fan Jinyuan's introduction, the entire Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance has a total of thirty-two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, which is much more than the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect!
Even compared to the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in a major sect like Profound Earth Mountain, there are significantly more of them.
This is partly because the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance is located in Dao Province, Dao Province itself possesses Supreme-Grade Spirit Veins with extremely high Spiritual Qi concentration and an excellent cultivation environment, naturally resulting in more cultivators breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. On the other hand, the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance is financially powerful and can provide Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with a good cultivation environment and resources.
For cultivators, wealth is extremely important. Elixirs, talismans, formations, Law Treasures... which one doesn't require Spirit Stones to purchase?
Therefore, the number of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance is exaggeratedly high.
However, only Fan Jinyuan and two others signed contracts with the system; the others were merely cultivators under the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance, so their loyalty would definitely be compromised.
The treasure vault doors slowly opened, and a dense, almost impenetrable Spiritual Qi rushed out.
The treasure vault of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance is enormous, probably several thousand feet in circumference, with a high dome that stretches as far as the eye can see.
The interior was covered with incredibly complex array patterns, flickering on and off, and was surrounded by layers upon layers of protective barriers, so dense that not even a mosquito could fly in.
The scene inside the warehouse was even more eye-opening. Various rare alchemy materials and weapon-refining materials were neatly stacked in boxes; Supreme-Grade Law Artifact were piled up in square formations, with no less than a thousand pieces at a rough glance; there were also hundreds of Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifacts, as well as a considerable number of Supreme-Grade Law Treasures and Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasures.
In addition, there are all kinds of top-grade talismans, Pill Furnaces, array plates, and other items.
Even the Azurite Jade Liquid that Lu Yang bought at the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's market auction is stored here by weight...
This made Jiang Shiqing and the other two girls widen their eyes, like country folk who had entered the city, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.
"This is... Blood Essence Spirit Fruit, used to temper the body! There are so many here!"
"This is White Jade Spirit Marrow for enhancing the soul! And there's so much of it..."
"They even have Sword Intent Grass!"
Not to mention the three women, even Lu Yang was a little surprised.
Although he had many Spirit Stones, he actually didn't have many of these rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Of course, he possesses heavenly materials and earthly treasures that even the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance cannot provide.
Seeing the surprised looks on Jiang Shiqing and the others, Fan Jinyuan and his two companions finally felt a sense of accomplishment.
Fan Jinyuan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Young Master, these heavenly materials and earthly treasures were all purchased directly by our Merchant Alliance because we felt they had considerable value. Of course, some were also obtained through barter. They are all kept here, with the intention of selling them at a higher price in the future, or perhaps for other uses. If the Young Master finds them useful, please feel free to take them."
Jiang Shiqing and the other two girls were green with envy.
How could Lu Yang take away so many treasures?
Lu Yang smiled slightly and said, "I'll take everything in this treasure vault and continue collecting."
Seeing that Lu Yang did not refuse, Fan Jinyuan's smile became even brighter. Fortunately, the young master still had a need for their Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance.
Otherwise, seeing the young master's indifferent attitude, Fan Jinyuan even felt a little anxious, fearing that the young master might forget about or even abandon the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance at any time.
"No problem, young master, would you like a few Storage Bags?" Fan Jinyuan asked considerately.
A normal Storage Bag cannot hold so many things, so many Storage Bags are needed to move these treasures.
Lu Yang shook his head. "My Storage Ring is big enough to hold it all."
Hearing this, Fan Jinyuan and the other two were a little surprised, but not too surprised. After all, it was not surprising that someone of Lu Yang's status would possess Storage Bag with an extremely large storage space.
Lu Yang's Storage Ring was five thousand feet in circumference, enough to empty all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the treasure vault.
Of course, even if the Storage Rings aren't enough, he can use the [Tycoon's Money House] to store these treasures.
There is also a huge amount of space available within [The Tycoon's Money House].
After that, Lu Yang carried the items wherever he went. Rows of wooden boxes and rows of Law Artifacts disappeared as he passed by, and in the blink of an eye, they were all stored in his Storage Ring.
The entire treasure vault was emptied almost in a short time. The huge platform of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance, with nearly a hundred years of accumulation, was directly emptied by Lu Yang.
The sheer number of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures left Jiang Shiqing and her two companions still somewhat dazed.
Although the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance has only been established for nearly a century, its accumulated foundation cannot compare with that of top forces that have accumulated tens or even hundreds of thousands of years of history. However, as a business platform, its speed of accumulating foundation far exceeds the imagination of other forces.
Even if the contents of this treasure vault cannot compare to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's accumulated wealth over many years, the difference is probably not that significant!
The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's treasury belongs to the entire sect, but all these items belong to Lu Yang alone!
The impact of this was immense for Qin Nanyue and her companions.
