Misunderstanding

"Brother Yin!" Yue Qianchou called out. He held up four fingers to Yin Baikang, who had stopped, and said, "Just give me another forty billion. I've already taken one billion, so the total is fifty billion, which is just right."

He voluntarily reduced the price by another billion, a statement that even pained him to admit. Normally, it would take so much effort to amass a billion! However, he was utterly unsure of this old fox; he didn't seem like someone easily fooled, and who knew what he was up to? So he kept reducing the price, intending to sell first and see how things developed before making a final decision. This also gave him more leeway, in case the other party pulled something too drastic that no one could handle.

Another billion less! Yin Baikang felt even more at ease, and immediately regarded the fifty billion as a passing cloud. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Niu, we'll talk about the ten billion later. Keep it with you for now. It will come in handy when you return to the Immortal Realm. I'll take out another fifty billion as a special fund to buy the Restriction Breaking Pill."

Having said that, without waiting for Niu Youde to refuse, he slipped into the 'Jingcai Hall'...

Wow! Yue Qianchou exclaimed in surprise, giving a mental thumbs-up. He could only describe his feelings in two words—admiration!

A billion! He threw it away without batting an eye; such boldness and magnanimity Yue Qianchou speechless. Now he understood that Yin Baikang's rise to prominence in the Cultivation World was no accident. This man possessed the courage and ambition of a ruthless leader, destined for greatness! Regardless of Yin Baikang's future success or failure, Yue Qianchou would give him a very high evaluation based solely on this magnanimity!

Not long after, Yin Baikang reappeared, carrying five bulging Storage Bag. He handed them over, saying, "Each Storage Bag, with a capacity of three rooms, can hold exactly one billion high-grade Spirit Stones. Here are exactly five billion. Brother Niu, please count them."

"No need, I trust Brother Yin." Yue Qianchou took it and threw it directly into the bracelet on his wrist. He couldn't be stingy since the other party was so generous, especially since the other party had paid first and had no reason to lie to him.

Yin Baikang smiled and nodded. Niu Youde held up three fingers and said, "Five thousand Restriction Breaking Pill will be delivered on time within three days. Brother Yin, be prepared to inspect the goods."

"Okay, it's a deal."

After the two made their agreement, Yin Baikang arranged for him to stay in a secluded house halfway up God of Wealth Peak. Yue Qianchou gathered Tian Ye and the other three, and they stayed in the house for a whole day. When Tian Ye and the other three came out again, their cultivation levels had all been raised to the early Tribulation stage.

Yin Baikang, who came to see Niu Youde off, witnessed this miracle with his own eyes. Although he didn't say anything, he was very excited.

"Remember what I'm telling you. If you dare to disobey, you'll face the consequences yourselves." Yue Qianchou warned Tian Ye and the other three expressionlessly, while tossing each of them a Storage Bag containing one million high-grade Spirit Stones.

The four of them respectfully agreed and watched the two late Spirit Transformation stage experts slowly ascend the mountain. Upon reaching the God of Wealth Peak, Yue Qianchou cupped his hands to Yin Baikang and said, "The four of them have offended the Azure Palace. I'll trouble Brother Yin to keep an eye on them while I'm away."

"Brother Niu, please go with peace of mind. I will personally oversee the Treasure Gathering Basin; they will be fine," Yin Baikang said with a smile.

"I'll take my leave now. See you in two days." As soon Yue Qianchou finished speaking, he stared solemnly at the horizon, remaining motionless for a long time...

Yin Baikang stared intently at Yue Qianchou, afraid of missing a single detail. He longed to witness how an immortal displayed their Divine Ability. Suddenly, Niu Youde closed his eyes, clasped his hands together at his brow, and murmured incantations...

Yin Baikang listened intently, but couldn't understand what Niu Youde was saying; he just kept babbling on and on... Suddenly, a sinister and terrifying aura surged out from Niu Youde's body, and the area within a ten-meter radius seemed to instantly enter another world.

The eerie and terrifying aura gathered within a ten-meter radius, gradually forming a hazy gray mist that enveloped Niu Youde like a large gray sphere. Yin Baikang, also within this area, was secretly alarmed, realizing that without using his internal energy to resist, his cultivation level was actually somewhat insufficient to withstand it.

He secretly released his Divine Sense to investigate, but the moment it left his Divine Sense, a deep, bone-chilling pain was branded into his mind, causing him to immediately withdraw it. His Divine Sense slightly damaged in an instant, feeling as if it had been burned; the pain was almost unbearable... Yin Baikang gritted his teeth and forced himself not to utter a sound.

Yue Qianchou chuckled inwardly. With such a strong residual power of black fire, you actually dared to release your Divine Sense. You're not going to get away with this!

After deliberately putting on a show of mystery, he vanished into thin air, disappearing along with the wisp of gray mist. On the mountaintop, the wind blew gently and the clouds drifted. Yin Baikang looked around and was startled again. He couldn't see how Niu Youde had moved at all; it wasn't teleportation. There wasn't a trace of teleportation anywhere in the surrounding area. He had simply disappeared into thin air.

"Oh..." Yin Baikang let out a long, painful groan, his old face almost scrunched up. He had gritted his teeth and held back from making a sound just now to save face, but after confirming that Niu Youde was really gone, he finally revealed a look of pain.

He sat cross-legged before starting his recuperation. He shook his head with a wry smile. He thought to himself, "An immortal is indeed an immortal. Even a mere errand-running immortal can suppress my Divine Sense with just their aura. It's terrifying!"

Yue Qianchou's appearance at the Misty Palace immediately caused a disturbance. First, an alarm sounded, then Qu Ping'er led a large group of palace maids, each wielding Law Artifact, ready to attack. From the direction of the Utopia military camp, the alarm horn for special combat quickly sounded...

While Yue Qianchou was still in a daze, a dark mass of people surged in and surrounded the Misty Palace in the blink of an eye. Guan Yu, Chen Feng, Zhang Peng, and even Bai Suzhen, who rarely showed herself, appeared, all glaring at him with ill intent.

"Damn it! Are you trying to rebel?" Yue Qianchou was instantly enraged. Suddenly, Qu Ping'er, sword in hand, shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Misty Palace!"

Yue Qianchou opened his mouth, then suddenly chuckled and touched his face. He realized where the problem lay; it was all Niu Youde's image that was to blame, and he had forgotten to revert to his original form.

"How dare you!" Qu Ping'er's pretty face contorted with anger. The other party had actually ignored her words and was still mocking her. Bai Suzhen, however, paused slightly, then raised her hand and pressed down on the sword in Qu Ping'er's hand, smiling gently as she said, "It is Yue Qianchou!"

Bai Suzhen rarely speaks in Utopia. But when she does, the effect is undeniable! The tense atmosphere instantly dissipates, and several prominent figures in Utopia look at Yue Qianchou with suspicion.

Yue Qianchou released the force that had been suppressing his voice on his throat and cursed, "Damn it! I thought you guys were planning a rebellion!" With a lot of effort, he removed the human skin mask from his face. It was so worn that it was almost stuck to his skin.

He then waved to the crowd and said, "Guan Yu, Chen Feng, and Zhang Peng, stay here. The rest of you go back and do what you need to do." As soon as the leader gave the order, the large group of people immediately returned to their places.

Qu Ping'er walked over and took the human skin mask from Yue Qianchou's hand, fiddling with it repeatedly. She asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Goodness! Don't break it, it's still very useful." Yue Qianchou took back the human skin mask and looked around at the Human Path, saying, "This thing is great for disguise! It has the same characteristics as human skin. As long as you don't reveal any flaws when you put on the makeup, even if the other party has a high level of cultivation, it will be difficult for them to find any loopholes."

Qu Ping'er glanced at Bai Suzhen with a complicated expression, then smiled and said, "How did you recognize him at a glance, sister?"

Bai Suzhen smiled faintly and said gently, "I feel it!" Qu Ping'er gave a dismissive "oh" and said nothing more.

Yue Qianchou stuffed the human skin mask into his Storage Bag, then pulled out five Storage Bag from his bracelet and threw one to each of Bai Suzhen, Qu Ping'er, Guan Yu, Chen Feng, and Zhang Peng, laughing, "Take a look at them." He had a hint of showing off.

The five people, somewhat puzzled, scanned the storage bag with their Divine Sense, then their faces lit up with shock as they exchanged bewildered glances. It was filled to the brim with high-grade Spirit Stones, completely overflowing the Storage Bag. It was unimaginable just how many were inside!

Such a dense storage volume wasn't just a few hundred thousand or a few million; the five of them spent considerable time counting it. Finally, speechless, they announced, "One billion." They looked at each other, all somewhat incredulous—a total of five billion!

Zhang Peng, never one to be outrageous, muttered, "We just received one billion yesterday, and today another fifty billion has arrived."

"Six billion high-grade Spirit Stones?" Qu Ping'er couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. All eyes turned to Yue Qianchou. They were truly impressed by him. He had managed to amass six billion in just two days. It was hard to imagine how he had done it.

"It's definitely 5 billion." Yue Qianchou pointed at Guan Yu and Zhang Peng and said, "Put them away. Go back and make arrangements now. With this money, we should be able to solve the problem of most team members improving their cultivation."

The two men accepted the order, collected the five Storage Bag, and returned to the military camp for arrangements. Yue Qianchou turned to Chen Feng and asked, "How many False Restriction Breaking Pills have been refined so far?"

Chen Feng snapped out of his daze at the dazzling Spirit Stone and said, "There are nearly 30,000 of them."

"Why is there only so much? I don't know if it will be enough!" Yue Qianchou frowned.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately got goosebumps. This stuff was poison! Thirty thousand pills weren't enough? How many people did you plan to feed it to? He couldn't help but ask weakly, "Boss, what are you planning to do?"

"Sell it for money," Yue Qianchou replied casually, holding out his hand and saying, "Give it all to me."

Chen Feng's waist was covered in Storage Bag, clearly indicating he was a professional. He nervously took one off and handed it to him. Yue Qianchou glanced at it casually with his Divine Sense; it was indeed about thirty thousand. He then instructed, "Hurry up and refine some more, go!"

After Chen Feng left, Yue Qianchou immediately instructed Qu Ping'er to prepare a large quantity of spiritual herbs for refining the Seven Treasures Pill, as he intended to refine a batch himself. This was because the only two in Utopia with the highest level of alchemy skills were him and Chen Feng, and only their pills possessed that captivating halo...
