"Magic power?"
These two words seemed to bring a chill, making the originally lively atmosphere quiet.
"Last time the sect united all parties to clean up, there were still fish that slipped through the net?"
Li Feng's brows tightened instantly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"If it is true, it would be terrible! The magic power is advancing very fast, benefiting oneself at the expense of others, and I don't know how many people will suffer."
Huang Ling'er's smile faded, revealing a hint of worry.
"These evil spirits Outer Dao deserve to die!"
Shi Meng said loudly and clenched his fists.
"Once the magic power spreads, it will inevitably attract people with evil intentions to covet it and do whatever it takes to increase their strength. I'm afraid there will no longer be peace in the county."
Xiao Chen also looked serious and said in a deep voice.
Fang Han's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and a hint of awe flashed in his eyes.
The reappearance of magic power is no small matter.
During the last purge, the sect deployed a large amount of manpower and material resources. He thought it had been eliminated, but he didn't expect that there were still remnants.
Its quick success and domineering characteristics have a fatal temptation for many warriors who are stuck in a bottleneck and have weak ambitions.
If left unchecked, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, this ray of solemnity only flickered in his eyes, and soon turned into calm.
He gently swirled the sake in the glass and said in a calm tone:
"The reappearance of the magic power is indeed worthy of vigilance. However, since even we have heard about it, the senior officials of the sect and the government must have been alert."
"Perhaps, the secret investigation has already begun, but it has not been made public just to avoid alerting others. We just need to wait and see what happens."
His words were like a breeze blowing across the lake, calming everyone's slightly nervous mood.
"What Senior Brother Fang said is reasonable, but we are a bit unfounded."
Yun Qianyue nodded slightly, with a trace of approval in his eyes.
"Yes, the sect should have a way to deal with it."
Li Feng's tense expression also softened and he nodded.
The topic then changed and the atmosphere became relaxed again.
Everyone continued to enjoy the delicious food and talk about their cultivation experiences and interesting things about the sect until late at night.
In the following days, Fang Han's life returned to its previous routine.
Practice Internal Qi, practice Sword Technique, practice Body Movement, and take Vajra Pill to strengthen your body.
The cultivation base is steadily moving towards the peak of the late fifth stage, and <Void-Sundering Nine Swords> is also quickly and steadily moving towards the realm of the Proficiency Realm.
Only the cultivation of <Windcloud Escape> is quite slow compared to the improvement speed of cultivation and Sword Technique, but there is no rush.
This afternoon, Fang Han had just finished a round of Body Movement's practice and was adjusting his breath in the courtyard.
Maid Qui Lan walked over, with an unconcealable tiredness on his face, but his eyes showed a sense of relief after completing an important task.
In her hand she held a one-foot-square wooden box made of ordinary but rather thick material.
"Senior brother, what you ordered has been completed."
Qui Lan's voice was slightly hoarse. It was obvious that she had spent a lot of energy running around these past few days.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Han opened his eyes, looked at the wooden box, and nodded slightly.
He took the wooden box and picked up the heavy one, which was obviously not light in weight.
Opening the lid of the box, there were stacks of brand-new banknotes neatly stacked inside, each with a denomination of 10,000 taels!
The banknotes were stacked like bricks, almost filling the wooden box. The smell of ink mixed with a unique smell of "wealth" hit your face.
Even with Fang Han's character, seeing this box full of ten thousand taels of silver notes, his breathing could not help but stagnate slightly.
"Brother, I have borrowed money from twenty-seven affiliated forces according to your instructions. Here are all the funds, totaling 10,570,000 taels. Please count them."
Qui Lan said, taking out a neatly bound booklet from his sleeve and presenting it with both hands.
"This is a detailed account of the loan, including the amount of each loan, the agreed repayment method, the person handling the loan, etc., all recorded in the book."
Fang Han put the wooden box aside on the stone table for a while, reached out to take the account book, and started to read it carefully.
The accounts are recorded very clearly and neatly. The name of each power, the amount of the loan, the agreed monthly deduction ratio, the date of the loan, and even the signature or seal of the person handling it are all listed one by one.
Well organized and clear at a glance.
It can be seen that Qui Lan spent a lot of effort on this matter and did it extremely thoughtfully and appropriately.
"Well done. The accounts are clear and organized. Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Han closed the account book and looked at Qui Lan with unabashed admiration in his eyes.
This matter is complicated and involves a huge amount of money. The fact that Qui Lan can handle it so beautifully in such a short period of time shows its ability.
"It is Qui Lan's duty to share the worries of our senior fellow apprentices."
Qui Lan Hearing the compliment, a trace of sincere joy appeared on his tired face, and he bowed slightly.
"Wait here for a moment."
Fang Han returned to the bedroom and quickly walked out, took out a small porcelain bottle as white as jade, and handed it to Qui Lan.
"This is 'Low-Grade Breakthrough Pill', which is very helpful in breaking through the bottleneck from the Bone Refining Realm to the Inner Qi Realm. You are now at the peak of Bone Refining. This elixir may be able to help you, take it."
Qui Lan heard this, her delicate body trembled suddenly.
He raised his head in disbelief and looked at the jade bottle in Fang Han's hand, his eyes instantly filled with excitement and disbelief.
Low-Grade Breakthrough Pill!
This is the Danyao that countless handyman disciples who are stuck at the peak of Bone Refining dream about!
Although it is low-grade, it does not mean that the quality is low, it only means that it is suitable for warriors to break through Lower Third Grade.
Its efficacy is mild, and its breakthrough success rate can be increased by more than 30%. It is valuable and far beyond the comparison of ordinary Blood Qi Pill.
The most important thing is that the refining of this type of Danyao requires a lot of precious medicinal materials, which are only available in bulk like Azure Profound Sect and are generally not available outside.
She never expected that Fang Han would give such a precious Danyao!
"Senior brother... this... this is too precious! Qui Lan deserves it!"
Qui Lan's voice was trembling, and he wanted to refuse, but he was reluctant to give up this opportunity to change his fate.
"Take it if you want."
Fang Han's tone is calm, but it has an unquestionable flavor.
"You are able to do things well. This is what you deserve. If you can use this elixir to break through the Inner Qi Realm, you will be able to serve me better in the future."
Qui Lan no longer hesitated, took the jade bottle with slightly trembling hands, and held it tightly in his hands, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.
She took a step back and bowed deeply to Fang Han, her voice choked but firm.
"Thank you, senior brother, for the gift! Qui Lan...Qui Lan will definitely practice hard and make a breakthrough as soon as possible, and will never let down senior brother's expectations!"
"Well, go down and have a good rest."
Fang Han waved his hand.
"Yes! Qui Lan Resign!"
Qui Lan saluted again, then carefully held the jade bottle and stepped back.
Although still tired, there was an unprecedented lightness and hope.
"What was delivered was indeed a banknote!"
Watching Qui Lan leave, Fang Han's eyes returned to the wooden box full of silver notes on the stone table.
One thousand and five hundred and seventy thousand taels!
This was a huge sum of money that many small and medium-sized Lineages could not afford even if they went bankrupt. It was lying quietly in front of him at this moment.
This huge amount of money is enough to start Body Movement Talent's seven-level increase.
However, a problem also arises - these are silver notes, not gold and silver that can be directly used in system Recharge.
He had already expected this.
If all the 10,570,000 taels of silver were converted into physical silver ingots, the weight would be as high as more than 500 tons.
Even if converted into more valuable gold, it still weighs more than five tons.
Such a terrifying weight is extremely eye-catching and inconvenient even when carried by individuals, even when transported by a large fleet of vehicles.
It is almost inevitable to switch to lightweight banknotes.
So the problem arises, System Panel Recharge, what is needed is a real "physical object", not a banknote representing a certificate of wealth.
He once did a test, and when he put in a thousand-tael silver note Recharge, the wealth he gained was not even one tael, which was a huge loss.
"These banknotes must be converted into 'physical objects' that can be recognized by the system."
Fang Han's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a dull "tuk-tuk" sound, and his mind was rapidly thinking about how to convert the banknotes into physical objects.
The most direct way is to go to a bank or chamber of commerce in Azure Profound City and exchange the silver notes into gold and silver.
But as soon as the idea came up, he was immediately rejected.
Not to mention whether Azure Profound City can produce gold and silver reserves worth tens of millions of taels at once. Even if it is possible, such a huge flow of gold and silver will inevitably attract close attention from all parties.
Once these gold and silver "mysteriously disappear" within a short period of time after being exchanged, it is difficult not to attract in-depth investigation by interested parties, and the risk is too great.
"It can pass the auction!"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Han's eyes flashed with light.
At large-scale auctions, many priceless treasures, natural materials, and magical weapons often appear.
These physical objects must be recognized by the system and processed Recharge.
Moreover, participating in auctions to bid for treasures is a perfectly normal behavior and will not arouse suspicion.
Even if the treasure "disappears" afterwards, it can be excused for personal use or collection, which is much more concealed than directly exchanging a large amount of gold and silver.
Moreover, judging from the fact that Recharge Danyao, medicinal materials and other items have not experienced a significant decrease in value in the past, this method should be feasible.
"Here comes someone."
Fang Han called in a deep voice.
"Senior brother, what are your orders?"
An attendant came in and saluted respectfully.
"Go to the Rain Listening Hall and get information about the large-scale auctions that will be held in the county in the near future, preferably within a few days, as well as their catalogs."
Fang Han ordered.
"Yes, senior brother!"
The attendant took the order and left quickly.
Fang Han closes the lid of the wooden box again, picks it up and returns to Quiet Room.
About an hour later, the attendant left and returned, holding a thick stack of beautifully made booklets with different covers in his hands.
"Senior brother, there are seven large-scale auctions held recently, and this is their auction catalogue."
The attendant presented the booklet with both hands.
"Well, let's go down."
Fang Han took the book and dismissed the attendant.
Sitting in front of the desk in Quiet Room, I began to read through the auction catalogs one by one.
He looked through the auction catalogs one after another, but nothing satisfied him.
Although there were some good Danyaos and weapons at these auctions, the most valuable items were only one to two million taels, which was far from being able to absorb the huge amount of money in his hands.
Fang Han frowned slightly and continued to scroll down.
When his eyes fell on the cover of the fourth booklet, he paused slightly.
The material of this booklet is obviously more sophisticated. The cover is embroidered with three ancient seal characters "Hundred Treasures Pavilion" with Dark Gold silk thread, which exudes a sense of weight and luxury.
