I Am a Holy Body, So This Is All Perfectly Reasonable, Right?

Su Qingtian had never imagined that Su Chen could casually produce so many low-grade pills.

He looked toward Su Chen again, his eyes filled with confusion.

The son who had grown up by his side had actually become so unfamiliar.

Su Chen naturally knew what he was thinking, so he said helplessly, "I'm a Holy Body, and my master is also an extremely powerful cultivator. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for him to casually take out several hundred thousand first-grade pills for his disciple to eat as snacks?"

The corner of Su Qingtian's mouth twitched uncontrollably. This kid has been getting more and more deserving of a beating lately.

However, what Su Chen said was perfectly normal. He possessed a saint-tier constitution, and his master was incomparably powerful.

In their eyes, five hundred thousand first-grade pills were extremely valuable, but in reality, they were not even as precious as a single sixth-grade pill.

If Chen'er's senior was truly powerful, then these pills indeed amounted to nothing.

Su Qingtian took a deep breath. He looked toward the other people in the hall and said solemnly:

"From today onward, close all the shops. Everyone should take a good rest for the time being."

With the three billion low-grade spirit stones from before, as well as so many pills, the Su Family would have enough to last for a very long time.

By then, the Su Family's strength would surely increase tremendously, and they would naturally be able to contend with the Four Great Families.

Moreover, Su Chen's talent was so powerful that he would probably break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in just a few years. At that time, the clan would have three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Adding the treasure that Myriad Treasures Pavilion would auction off in a few days, it was entirely possible for the Su Family to increase their number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to four in a short time.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately wore anxious expressions.

"Patriarch, that won't do! Our Su Family hasn't even gained a firm foothold yet. If we give up even this little bit of business, the Su Family will have an even harder time in the future."

Su Qingtian waved his hand. "Enough. This clan leader has already thought of a solution. You don't need to worry."

Although everyone was filled with countless doubts, they had nothing more to say after hearing this.

The Su Family was not only united; they were also highly obedient to the clan. Even if they found it difficult to understand why such a decision had to be made, they still chose to obey the orders.

Before long, the council ended.

Only several elders and Su Chen remained in the hall. They each took the spatial rings from Su Qingtian's hands and began examining them.

However, their expressions were the same as before, filled with disbelief and shock.

There are... too many pills, aren't there?

No wonder the clan leader is so confident.

Su Yuanba directly gave Su Chen a huge hug. "Little Chen, you're simply the lucky star of our Su Family!"

The other elders also wore smiles on their faces. They were overjoyed in their hearts. Su Chen was not only the future of their Su Family; he had also helped the Su Family resolve such a huge crisis.

Su Qingtian's eyes were filled with relief. Having Su Chen in the Su Family's future was the Su Family's good fortune.

"The auction at Myriad Treasures Pavilion in four days is coming up. Su Chen, why don't you go with your Second Uncle?"

The auction at Myriad Treasures Pavilion?

Su Chen immediately reacted. "Is it for the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid?"

Myriad Treasures Pavilion was not a force from Bright Moon City. They were merely doing business here.

In terms of actual strength, Myriad Treasures Pavilion was more powerful than any force in the city. Their operations could even be found throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

The Xuantian Realm was divided into the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Domains, and Bright Moon City was located in a corner of the Eastern Domain.

The fact that Myriad Treasures Pavilion could spread its shops throughout the entire Eastern Domain was enough to show how powerful it was.

Su Yunqian said with a smile, "That's right. We originally had no chance of competing for this item, but with these three billion spirit stones, the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid will definitely belong to our Su Family."

The Spirit Essence Jade Liquid was a precious heavenly treasure. It contained the essence of heaven and earth and could help a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm break through to the Nascent Soul Stage without any side effects.

At such a crucial moment, whoever obtained the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid would influence the entire situation.

The Su Family already had Su Chen. If they bought the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid as well, it would not be long before the Su Family possessed four Nascent Soul Stage experts.

Su Chen naturally did not refuse and agreed to go with them when the time came.

After leaving the council hall, Su Chen returned to his courtyard.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

In the courtyard, a beautiful young woman was sweeping the floor. When she saw Su Chen walk in, she hurriedly bowed respectfully.

This woman was named Han Xi. Her parents had sold her to the Su Family when she was young. She was careful and conscientious in her work, so Su Qingtian had asked her to take care of Su Chen's daily life.

Su Chen nodded indifferently and then found a place to sit down. Han Xi very naturally walked behind him and gently kneaded his shoulders.

Su Chen's face was filled with enjoyment. The life of a noble clan's young master is really quite nice.

"Han Xi, how long have you been following me?"

Han Xi thought for a moment before answering, "Young Master, eleven years and five months in total."

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, carrying a woman's delicate softness. One could tell from her voice alone that she must be quite beautiful.

Su Chen revealed a surprised expression. He had only asked casually and had not expected Han Xi to remember so clearly.

"What do you think of staying in the Su Family?"

Faced with Su Chen's question, Han Xi wore a frightened expression. She hurriedly knelt and pleaded, "Young Master, please don't drive me away! If there's anything Han Xi has done wrong, I can change!"

Su Chen froze. He had not expected a single sentence from him to make Han Xi look like this.

He suddenly realized that he was now the Young Clan Leader of the Su Family, with a noble status and position. Sometimes, a single word or action from him could determine many things and also cause those beneath him to let their imaginations run wild.

When Su Chen asked her how she found staying in the Su Family, it sounded as if he was dissatisfied with her.

Thinking of this, Su Chen shook his head and laughed. He stepped forward, lifted Han Xi's chin, and looked into her limpid, watery eyes. Then he said with a smile:

"I had no intention of driving you away."

Looking at Su Chen's gentle smile, Han Xi's face revealed a dazed expression.

Although the former Su Chen had not been harsh either, he had always been cold and distant toward her. He would never have been this approachable.

Especially with the two of them standing so close, Han Xi's heart began to thump wildly.

Han Xi quickly came to her senses. Realizing that Su Chen's question had not meant what she had thought, she said with a flushed face, "Young Master, I'm very happy staying in the Su Family. I really like the Su Family."

Su Chen nodded and handed her a spatial ring, his expression calm as he said:

"There are some cultivation resources and cultivation techniques inside. You also have a mid-grade spirit root, so cultivate diligently and improve your cultivation."

"As this young master's personal maid, don't bring shame to me."

"Thank you, Young Master, for nurturing me!"

Joy appeared on Han Xi's face, and she hurriedly expressed her thanks.

After taking the spatial ring, she immediately examined it. However, after just one glance, her entire body went stiff.

So many spirit stones!

There were nearly fifty thousand spirit stones, as well as a treasured sword and two low-grade Earth-rank cultivation techniques.

As a servant of the Su Family, she earned no more than seventy spirit stones a month.

It would have taken her a very long time to save these fifty thousand spirit stones, but Su Chen had now given them to her directly.

Moreover, there were low-grade Earth-rank cultivation techniques inside. Items of this level would cost at least several hundred thousand spirit stones, and ones of better quality could even cost several million.

Han Xi's heart was filled with boundless gratitude. She immediately kowtowed to Su Chen, looking deeply grateful. "Thank you, Young Master."

At this moment, she would have been willing to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of flames for Su Chen.

Su Chen secretly sighed in his heart. A little something like this is enough to win someone's heart. Have they simply never seen the world, or am I just too wealthy?

He slowly stood up and walked toward the courtyard gate.

"Let's go. Come out for a stroll with me."
