One Hundred Thousand Silver Taels, Mount Hua Token

In the backyard of Liu Mansion.

Yue Buqun led Su Chen to inspect the silver.

From beginning to end, the smile on Yue Buqun's face never faded, and his steps were light.

If Su Chen hadn't been by his side, he would have really wanted to laugh out loud.

"This hundred thousand taels of silver was spent so worth it!"

Yue Buqun recalled the entire course of events, feeling more and more that his decision back then was correct.

At first, he had no idea Su Chen's strength would reach such a level.

Therefore, he only intended to kill a few of the Mount Song Envoys to weaken the Mount Song Sect's power to the greatest extent, thereby buying more time for Mount Hua.

As long as he could kill three to five Mount Song Envoys, this hundred thousand taels of silver would not have been spent in vain.

However, the current outcome far exceeded his expectations, giving him a great surprise.

Zuo Lengchan had died by Su Chen's blade, the Mount Song Envoys were wiped out, and even their elite disciples were all dead.

It could be said that the Mount Song Sect was now merely a name.

The crisis for the Mount Hua Sect had thus been resolved.

Moreover, as long as he could seize the opportunity, it wasn't impossible to annex the remaining forces of the Mount Song Sect, allowing the Mount Hua Sect to advance further.

Looking across the Five Great Sword Sects, the strongest in power, besides Grandmaster Zuo Lengchan, was Yue Buqun, at the peak of Minor Grandmaster.

In a daze, Yue Buqun felt the throne of the Five Great Sword Sect Alliance Leader beckoning to him.

Of course, Yue Buqun knew very well that all the credit for this favorable situation came from the expert beside him.

Therefore, his attitude towards Su Chen became even more respectful.

"Mr. Su, please come this way. I've placed all the hundred thousand taels of silver in Junior Brother Liu's backyard."

Su Chen nodded and continued to follow Yue Buqun.

Before long, the two arrived at a covered pavilion.

Under the pavilion, dozens of large chests were neatly arranged.

Yue Buqun quickened his pace, rushed to the chests, and casually opened one.

Gleaming silver was revealed, filling the pavilion with a dazzling, eye-catching light.

"Mr. Su, please count. It's one hundred thousand and five thousand taels of silver, exactly as agreed," Yue Buqun said, pointing to the silver.

The hundred thousand taels were the reward for hiring Su Chen, and the extra five thousand taels were for the information.

With the silver right in front of him, Su Chen naturally had no intention of paying attention to Yue Buqun and simply nodded in response.

Then, he passed Yue Buqun and approached the silver chests.

With a gentle wave of his hand, his qi spread out, and dozens of chests were opened.

With one hundred thousand and five thousand taels of silver before him, Su Chen's heart pounded.

Indeed, in this world, nothing was more tempting than silver.

Seeing Su Chen staring intently at the silver, Yue Buqun was quite sensible and knew it was time for him to leave.

"Mr. Su, I won't disturb you any longer," Yue Buqun said, taking his leave.

Su Chen came back to his senses and replied with a smile, "Sect Leader Yue, please feel free. Remember to keep in touch. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me again. I'll give you a discount then."

Although Mount Song was destroyed, it didn't mean the Mount Hua Sect could rest easy.

The remnants of the Sword Sect who had previously retreated, such as Feng Buping, were still watching covetously, coveting the position of Mount Hua Sect Leader.

It was possible that there would be opportunities for cooperation with Yue Buqun in the future.

Of course, if Feng Buping and the others offered a suitable price, Su Chen would be very willing to help them eliminate Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun did not yet know that Su Chen even considered him a target.

Therefore, upon hearing that Su Chen was willing to maintain contact, he was overjoyed.

Being on good terms with an expert like Su Chen would bring him endless benefits.

He immediately said, "I am honored that Mr. Su thinks so highly of me."

As he spoke, he took out a token from his embrace.

The token was made of pure gold, with a golden hook and silver painting carved with the character "Hua" in the center. The surroundings were carved with intricate sword marks, connected head to tail, encircling the token.

Yue Buqun held the token with both hands and presented it to Su Chen, saying.

"Mr. Su, this is the Mount Hua token. With this token, you can command the disciples of Mount Hua. If you don't mind, please accept it."

Yue Buqun was not lying. The token he was giving away was indeed a guest elder token of Mount Hua.

Anyone holding this token had a status equivalent to that of a Mount Hua elder, although the Mount Hua Sect currently had no elders.

However, possessing this token still allowed one to command all Mount Hua disciples except Yue Buqun's direct disciples.

Moreover, the Five Great Sword Sects had always been united.

If disciples from other sects saw this token, they would also give face.

Therefore, this token could be considered a valuable item, something many rogue cultivators in the jianghu would pursue.

"Mobilize the Mount Hua disciples," Su Chen muttered to himself.

Although the Mount Hua Sect's weaklings wouldn't be of much help to him, Su Chen wouldn't refuse an opportunity to get something for free.

Moreover, this token was made of pure gold and looked quite heavy, weighing at least five or six taels.

While it couldn't be used for recharging, if he ever ran out of money in the future, melting this gold token could sustain him for a while.

With this thought, Su Chen reached out and took the token, smiling, "Then thank you for your kind offer, Sect Leader Yue."

Yue Buqun was unaware that Su Chen was already planning to melt the gold token.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to say much. He would likely praise Su Chen for melting it so well and then casually give him another one.

"Mr. Su, please, I won't disturb you further."

With that, Yue Buqun cupped his hands and turned to leave, leaving Su Chen alone with the silver taels.

After Yue Buqun left, Su Chen dropped his pretense and first tossed the pure gold token into the System Space.

Then, he turned to look at the silver taels under the awning, a smile spreading across his lips. He thought to himself, "System, recharge one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver."

The next second, the one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver under the awning vanished completely.

Immediately after, a mechanical voice echoed in Su Chen's mind.

[Ding, Host recharged one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, gaining Martial Arts Points: 10500, Current total Martial Arts Points: 10500]

Looking at the fifteen thousand Martial Arts Points on the system panel, the smile on Su Chen's lips widened.

"Yue Buqun's one hundred and fifty thousand taels are accounted for, and Liu Zhengfeng's two hundred thousand taels will be accounted for soon."

"Add it up, three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, thirty thousand five hundred Martial Arts Points."

"I can't spend it all, I can't spend it all at all..."

Su Chen felt that in the three years since his transmigration, his confidence had never been as strong as it was now.

With thirty thousand five hundred Martial Arts Points, if all of it were invested in his cultivation, it could push his realm infinitely closer to Grandmaster.

That was the Grandmaster realm; how many were there in the entire jianghu?

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt even more that choosing to come to Hengyang was the right decision.

"I really hope I can get such good deals often," Su Chen muttered to himself.

Just then, a voice called out.

"Lord Su."

Su Chen turned his head and saw Liu Zhengfeng leading a middle-aged man towards him.
