Cash and Goods Settled

"If I'm not Yue Qianchou, then who do you think I am?" Yue Qianchou retorted, both amused and annoyed.

"That's not what I meant," the person behind the table stood up and waved his hand. At this moment, a person sitting in the corner of the stone chamber walked over and smiled, "We didn't mean anything by it, we just wanted to confirm."

Yue Qianchou glanced at him; it was the same man who had come with Guan Zhongkai last time, the one Guan Zhongkai called "Uncle-Master." He was here to make money, not to cause trouble. Yue Qianchou nodded, raised his hand, and an Azure Flame Fire Dragon shot out, illuminating the entire stone chamber with a bluish glow. The dragon circled the table once, instantly turning it to ashes. Then, the Azure Flame Fire Dragon disappeared into Yue Qianchou's sleeve.

Guan Zhongkai's uncle's pupils contracted. He couldn't sense any heat from the fire dragon, yet it easily reduced a wooden table to ashes. What incredible fire control! The person who had been at the table looked at the ground speechlessly. A large crowd gathered outside the passageway...

"Do I need to prove it in another way?" Yue Qianchou asked, tilting his head.

"I've long admired the Star Flame Fire Art, and seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation." Guan Zhongkai's uncle exclaimed in praise, then said to the cultivator holding the jade pass, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and process Mr. Yue's entry and exit jade pass?"

The man nodded repeatedly, instructing Yue Qianchou to input a wisp of True Essence before quickly casting Method Formula into the jade tablet to complete the process. Yue Qianchou took the jade tablet and asked, "How much?"

Guan Zhongkai's uncle glanced at the crowd gathered outside and smiled, "Someone knew that you were coming and has already paid for you."

"Oh!" Yue Qianchou didn't stand on ceremony. He took the jade tablet, turned around, and left. The crowd outside quickly made way for him.

After he had walked a distance, people began to ask, "Was he really that butcher Yue Qianchou?"

"Yes! He's offended so many people, how dare he come here if he doesn't continue to hide?"

"You don't understand! They have Wen Lanfeng backing them up now, what do they have to be afraid of?"

"Tsk tsk! The number one expert below the Spirit Transformation stage is quite a well-known figure in the Cultivation World."

Guan Zhongkai's martial uncle shouted at the crowd, "Disperse! Don't block the way and obstruct others' access!" After the crowd dispersed, he immediately used his telepathy to inform those inside that Yue Qianchou had arrived. The heads of the eight entrances had already been notified, and upon Yue Qianchou's arrival, they immediately reported...

As soon as he emerged from the cave, he saw the Treasure Gathering Basin once again. Yue Qianchou glanced at it casually, and immediately saw a figure appear before him—it was Sikong Jue.

People passing by couldn't help but stop and stare when they saw Sikong Jue appear. It was the first time Sikong Jue had seen Yue Qianchou. He looked Yue Qianchou up and down and asked indifferently, "You are Yue Qianchou?" He had no good feelings towards Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou had made his disciple Guan Zhongkai lose face, which was equivalent to embarrassing him.

Is he Yue Qianchou? The people below stirred upon hearing this. Yue Qianchou has arrived?

Yue Qianchou chuckled inwardly. This guy had been addressing her as "senior" before, but now he was acting like a superior. He frowned and said, "State your name, I don't talk to strangers."

A sharp glint flashed in Sikong Jue's eyes as he stared at Yue Qianchou and said in a deep voice, "Sikong Jue of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh! I've long admired your name. I am Yue Qianchou." Yue Qianchou cupped his hands in greeting and asked curiously, "Did you need something from me?"

"Senior Niu asked me to find you, so you should know what's going on," Sikong Jue said. If the other person hadn't been carrying something important, he wouldn't have been so patient with Yue Qianchou.

"Oh! I understand." Yue Qianchou looked around and asked in surprise, "Shall we talk here?" Sikong Jue pointed to the God of Wealth Peak and said, "Follow me." Yue Qianchou nodded, and the two flew one after the other towards the God of Wealth Peak.

"Wow! That butcher actually dares to come to the Treasure Gathering Basin!" someone exclaimed, and the crowd immediately became lively as news of Yue Qianchou's arrival spread rapidly.

At the God of Wealth Peak, Yin Baikang smiled as he looked at Yue Qianchou, who was looking around curiously, and said, "I am Yin Baikang. You are Yue Qianchou, the rising star of the Cultivation World? Haha! You are indeed a handsome man, not bad at all!"

"Ah! You are Senior Yin, one of the top ten experts in the Cultivation World?" Yue Qianchou steadied his head, which was looking around, and asked in disbelief.

"Haha! It's just a little bit of empty fame, not worth mentioning." Yin Baikang appeared amiable.

"Greetings, Senior Yin." Yue Qianchou bowed and stood up. Suddenly, Sikong Jue beside him, "You should learn more from your master. In terms of cultivation, your master is much higher than you! But look at Senior Yin, how kind he is to speak. Unlike you, you act like you want to kill someone the moment you meet him."

Sikong Jue aback by what he said, then his face twitched uncontrollably, his eyes glaring angrily. This guy was complaining about him. It should be noted that before leaving the mountain, Yin Baikang had specifically instructed him to be polite to Yue Qianchou.

As expected, Yin Baikang's expression darkened slightly, and he asked indifferently, "Sikong, what did you do to Yue Qianchou? What exactly happened?" Sikong Jue killed Yue Qianchou, he wouldn't feel anything was wrong, but disobeying him was something to be considered.

"Master, I didn't do anything to him," Sikong Jue to quell the fire.

Yue Qianchou waved his hand and said, "Senior Yin, please don't misunderstand. He really didn't do anything to me. It's just that his attitude was a bit uncomfortable." He then bowed and said, "I have already met Senior Yin. This junior would not dare to disturb you any further. I will take my leave now." He turned to leave.

"Are you leaving already?" Yin Baikang was taken aback. He had originally wanted to scold Sikong Jue a show for Yue Qianchou, but now it seemed unnecessary. He immediately called out, "Yue Qianchou, please wait."

Yue Qianchou turned around and said, "Senior, is there anything else you need to do?"

Yin Baikang's heart skipped a beat. Had Niu Youde never contacted him? Suppressing his anxiety, he asked with a smile, "Yue Qianchou, did Brother Niu Youde not tell you anything?"

"Oh! I almost forgot, I don't have a very good memory." Yue Qianchou patted his forehead and said, "Senior, are you asking about the Seven Treasures Pill?"

Yin Baikang's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down. He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "It's alright, it's good that you remembered. Let's finish this matter first!" With a wave of his hand, ten bulging Storage Bag landed on the bluestone platform to the side.

Yue Qianchou glanced at the ten Storage Bag, scratched his head, and said, "Senior, can I discuss something with you?"

Yin Baikang smiled and said, "Just tell me what's on your mind."

"It's like this," Yue Qianchou said apologetically, "Senior, your Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is very wealthy, so you certainly wouldn't care about a few Seven Treasures Pill. As for me, I'd like to do some small business in the Treasure Gathering Basin. What do you think, why don't you let me sell these Seven Treasures Pill myself?"

Yin Baikang was speechless. Five thousand Seven Treasures Pill was a small business? You're not afraid of overeating! He forced a smile and said, "Young man, you're not doing this right. You must keep your word. If you promise someone something, you must do it. You must never have any improper thoughts."

"Haha!" Yue Qianchou laughed, "I was just saying, if you don't want to, that's fine too." Somewhat reluctantly, he took out a Storage Bag, Yin Baikang took. He then took out a spirit pill, and immediately saw a seven-colored glow swirling around his finger, just like the Seven Treasures Pill he had seen before.

Even Yin Baikang couldn't fake such a superior pill's aura; it was undoubtedly genuine. After examining the Storage Bag with his Divine Sense, Yin Baikang frowned and stared at Yue Qianchou, asking, "How many Seven Treasures Pills did Niu Youde give you?"

Yue Qianchou said somewhat guiltily, "They should all be in the Storage Bag!"

"This kid's trying to be sneaky!" Yin Baikang's face darkened. "That's not right! There are only four thousand here. Brother Niu clearly told me he gave you five thousand. Where did the other thousand go?" Sikong Jue stared coldly at him, preparing to seize the opportunity to lash out.

"Oh! I almost forgot, I have a bad memory." Yue Qianchou took out another Storage Bag from his pocket and smiled awkwardly, "I was afraid it wouldn't be safe to put all the elixirs in one Storage Bag, so I divided them into a thousand and put them in another one."

After saying that, he reluctantly handed over the Storage Bag to him. Yin Baikang took the Storage Bag and checked it. Sure enough, the remaining thousand stones were all in the bag. Only then did he show a satisfied smile, put them all away, and pointed to the ten Storage Bag on the bluestone platform, saying, "Those are the 10 billion high-grade Spirit Stones I promised Brother Niu. Go and count them! We'll settle the money and the goods."

Yue Qianchou walked over and sat on the bluestone platform, counting the money bag by bag. As he counted, he muttered to himself, "No matter how much money this is, it's not mine. I have to give it all to Senior Niu." After confirming the amount, he put away the Storage Bag and said to Yin Baikang, "Senior, next time, have Senior Niu give you the Seven Treasures Pill directly! It will save us both trouble. It's pointless for it to pass through my hands."

Yin Baikang smiled slightly. He had figured it out: the kid was making so many fuss because he was unhappy about not getting any benefits in the process. However, what he said suited him perfectly. He wasn't comfortable with the Seven Treasures Pill changing hands with this kid; it would be much more straightforward to trade with Niu Youde.

Nodding, he said, "Well! Since you've said so, it's settled then. I'll talk to Brother Niu about this." He then turned to Sikong Jue, "Sikong, escort Yue Qianchou down the mountain. Remember to give him 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. Don't let him go through all that trouble for nothing."

Sikong Jue the order and led Yue Qianchou down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he actually threw him 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones, and then ignored him and left. The matter was no longer his concern; nobody would bother with him. It was good enough if he wasn't beaten up. Of course, he was also doing so out of respect for Niu Youde.

Yue Qianchou weighed the Storage Bag in his hand, chuckled, and thought that wasting his time making expressions to earn 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones was worth it. He put it away and strolled towards the bustling street... (!)
