Three Billion Spirit Stones Really Wasn't Much...

Hearing Su Chen's words, Su Qingtian said helplessly:

"Chen'er, keep your own savings. The Lineage needs an enormous amount of Spirit Stones. Even if you contributed that little bit to the Lineage, it would only be a drop in the ocean."

As his father, Su Qingtian knew better than anyone how many Spirit Stones Su Chen had. Having thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones would already be considered a lot.

Su Chen required enormous resources for his daily cultivation. Basically, however much he was given, he used up. How could he possibly have any surplus Spirit Stones?

Still, Su Chen's intentions were there for all to see, so Su Qingtian was quite gratified.

Seeing Su Qingtian refuse, Su Chen added, "Father, this is just a small token of my regard. It may not be much, but I can only rest easy if you accept it."

Three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones... really wasn't much. It wasn't even a fraction of his reserves.

Seeing how insistent Su Chen was, Su Qingtian shook his head with a smile and casually accepted the spatial ring from Su Chen's hand.

"Fine."

Su Qingtian sent his senses into the spatial ring. He gave a startled sound, but then his expression changed drastically, and he stared at the ring as though turned to stone.

From blankness, to confusion, to shock, and finally, excitement.

Su Qingtian raised his head and asked in a voice full of astonishment, "Chen'er, where did all these Spirit Stones come from?"

Su Chen smiled calmly. "My master gave them all to me."

Seeing Su Qingtian's stunned expression, Su Yunqian frowned. He took the spatial ring over, preparing to inspect it himself.

Let me see what this is all about!

Then his expression abruptly changed as well, almost exactly like Su Qingtian's.

Su Yunqian's eyes widened as he swept an utterly disbelieving gaze over Su Chen. He was just short of blurting out the two sacred words, holy shit.

His face was filled with confusion and shock.

Is this real?

My heavens!

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Yuanba also took the spatial ring.

I want to see what this is all about too!

But before long, his expression became exactly the same.

"This is... three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Su Yuanba clearly had far less composure. He cried out in shock, his face full of disbelief as he said:

"These are three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones! Even all the Wang Family's reserves could not possibly exceed one billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. We've directly surpassed the wealth the Wang Family accumulated over a thousand years—and by a full three times!"

"What? Three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"

The Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder successively took the spatial ring and inspected it. Their expressions likewise became incomparably shocked.

It really was three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!

Their gazes gathered on Su Chen, their eyes full of bewilderment. This little nephew seemed to have completely changed beyond recognition.

First, he killed Li Qiu with a single move. Then he casually pulled out three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones and called it a "small" token of regard.

This was your small token of regard?

A small token of regard was three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones?

But soon, everyone recovered from their delight, and Su Qingtian could not help asking:

"Chen'er, these should be cultivation resources your master gave you, right?"

Su Chen's eyes lit up. They even came up with an excuse for me? He immediately said:

"You saw right through it. The Su Family is my home, and now that the Su Family is in trouble, I naturally cannot stand idly by. Father, just take these three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones and use them. I still have more than enough resources here."

"Besides, my mysterious master is extremely powerful. He does not lack such a small amount of Spirit Stones at all."

In any case, he pushed all the blame onto that nonexistent master.

Above all, Su Chen could not expose the system. It was his greatest trump card. If he came up with some other excuse, it would be riddled with holes. He might as well say he had a very powerful master.

Hearing this, Su Qingtian was finally completely reassured, his face beaming with joy.

"Good. As expected of a son of my Su Family."

Su Yuanba said happily as well, "Little Chen's master can casually give him three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation. He must have reached an unimaginably terrifying realm. What is there to fear from the Wang Family?"

Su Yunqian frowned. "Fourth Brother, one's own strength is the foundation. Relying on others will never last."

Hearing that, Su Yuanba could not help scratching his head.

"I was only saying it casually. Second Brother, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Su Qingtian suddenly said, "Chen'er, these are your Spirit Stones after all. Once we get through this crisis, we will return whatever is left over to you."

Su Chen's growth in strength was what mattered most. He did not want to delay Su Chen's cultivation because of this.

Su Chen's tone turned slightly firm. "Father, I already said that you should use these resources. Whether you give them to the Lineage's disciples for cultivation or use them yourselves, either is fine."

"I truly do not lack such a small amount of Spirit Stones."

As if afraid they would not believe him, Su Chen waved his hand, and three spatial rings appeared on his right hand.

"See these spatial rings? Each one contains three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. If it isn't enough, just tell me directly. I, Su Chen, do not lack Spirit Stones at all. When they're used up, I'll have Master give me another hundred or eighty billion."

Crack!

The teacup slipped from Su Yunqian's hand and shattered on the floor with a crisp sound.

After obtaining three billion Spirit Stones just now, he had felt the Lineage could finally sleep with both eyes shut, so he had wanted a drink of water. Yet Su Chen had directly hit him with a massive bombshell.

There were another nine billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!

And once they were used up, he could simply ask his master for another hundred or eighty billion. What kind of absurd master was that?

Su Chen casually tossed the rings onto the table. "If you don't believe me, look for yourselves."

Su Yunqian immediately inspected them one by one. Sure enough, each spatial ring contained three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

He could not help swallowing as he looked toward his dumbfounded brothers, then silently nodded.

Not a sound could be heard in the hall. Everyone was too shocked to speak.

The entire Wang Family had accumulated only around one billion Spirit Stones over a thousand years, yet Su Chen had effortlessly surpassed them.

Did the gap have to be this enormous?

Su Chen retrieved the three spatial rings and said airily, "Three billion Lower-Grade Spirit Stones really isn't much."

Though he said it calmly, his words struck them like a devastating blow.

Three billion Spirit Stones wasn't much!

That was three billion! Did he even hear what he was saying?

Su Chen continued, "Father, I am the Young Clan Leader of the Su Family. Just use these three billion Spirit Stones to develop the Lineage."

"Like I said, when they're used up, just tell me. I truly do not lack Spirit Stones."

He had originally intended to give them some heavenly treasures as well, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided such matters could not be rushed. More importantly, they would be difficult to explain, so he only gave them three billion Spirit Stones.
