"With this level of skill, you think you can even get close to our fairies? Hah!"
Zhou Quan was utterly disdainful, his expression icy, not even glancing at the boy not far away who was barely breathing.
Grandmaster Long's disciple, Ouyang Ba, was stunned and lay on the ground, questioning the meaning of life.
Although there are many powerful Evolver in the city, among the younger generation, he can be considered one of the best. Even his master often praises him for reaching such a level at such a young age, saying that his talent is truly exceptional and that he will definitely become a powerful figure in the future, renowned throughout the world.
But now, he was easily defeated by an unknown nobody!
If it had been a fierce battle, he would have accepted his defeat. Unfortunately, he didn't even have the strength to fight back, and he lost just like that!
At this moment, Ouyang Ba wished he could find a dog hole, slink away, and never come out again.
He's completely lost face!
"Brother Ba!"
Those cronies who hung out with Zhao Lu saw this as an opportunity to get to know Grandmaster Long's disciple, and without considering the occasion, they dared to go to his 'rescue'.
"Brother Ba, are you alright?!"
Several people helped Ouyang Ba up, their faces full of concern and concern. One of them even said indignantly, "Those three outsiders are outrageous! How could they treat Brother Ba like that! Brother Ba is a big shot in Luo Cheng! He's Grandmaster Long's disciple! How despicable..."
Ouyang Ba's face was dark. It was precisely because he was Grandmaster Long's disciple that he had completely lost face!
Grandmaster Long is highly regarded in Luo Cheng and has made great contributions. As his disciple, he naturally receives attention as well.
"Get out of here!"
Ouyang Ba. He pushed the group aside, his face as black as charcoal. He had no face to stay there and slunk away.
At this moment, Xiao Tian carefully examined Zhou Quan, making Zhou Quan unable to help but mutter to himself.
"My goodness! Why are you staring at me like that? It's making me, this fat man, quite embarrassed!"
Zhou Quan scratched his head, suddenly blushing and his heart pounding. He thought to himself, "Could it be that this fairy has developed feelings for me because of my previous act of protecting her? If so, does that mean I, this fat man, am going to get to eat Swan?"
Toad that doesn't Swan swan meat isn't a good Toad!
Zhou Quan believed that although he was of average appearance, he was very confident that as long as he gradually showed his strength, he could slowly win the heart of the goddess.
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan raised his head, his expression becoming even more confident.
If Xiao Tian knew Zhou Quan's inner thoughts, he would have immediately removed the disguise of the Ruyi Divine Ability Seventy-Two Transformations, picked up the Adamantine Staff, and given him a good beating, beating him until his head was bleeding and he was running for his life.
"Let's go first," Xiao Tian said. No matter what, the guy who got beaten up was a disciple of a big shot in the city, and trouble was inevitable.
"Alright. You lot, listen to me, you still want to cause trouble? I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget!" Zhou Quan turned his head, his eyes suddenly turning fierce, and pointed at Zhao Lu and the others with a sneer.
This terrified Zhao Lu and his friends, who immediately turned and ran! They were afraid that Zhou Quan would catch up and deliver a humiliating punch to each of them.
Upon seeing this, Chu Feng shook his head slightly and smiled, showing little interest in Grandmaster Long within the city.
The teacher who could produce a disciple like Ouyang Ba must not be much better.
The three left.
However, some of them are too conspicuous, and wherever they go, they are followed by people, making it difficult to shake them off unless they go to secluded areas.
Xiao Tian possessed a VIP card belonging to the Jiang Family of the Bodhi Group. Upon discovering that there was also Treasure Gathering Pavilion under the Bodhi Group in Luo Cheng, he suggested going there to make some money.
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan readily agreed.
The city is not like the wilderness. In the wilderness, you don't need much money, but in the city, it's hard to live without money. If you wander around outside, you'll get checked by patrols for your ID.
There were hardly any people Treasure Gathering Pavilion, only the manager and a dozing servant.
"Boss, do you recognize this?" Chu Feng asked the counter as Xiao Tian took out the Bodhi Group's Supreme VIP card.
The shopkeeper, who was carefully wiping the antique bottles, turned his head upon hearing this.
At first glance, the shopkeeper's expression changed; at the second glance, his eyes bulged and widened.
"Distinguished guest! What are your requirements? You are welcome to take any three antiques from our store, each valued at under one million."
Liu Hai had only ever seen the VIP card at headquarters, but he never expected to see it in person in Luo Cheng.
The headquarters has a policy that if a VIP customer visits a branch of the group for a purchase or service, the headquarters will provide a reward upon verification.
Liu Hai was excited and didn't even bother to verify the authenticity of the Supreme VIP card, because he could tell at a glance that the Supreme VIP card was made of special material, not ordinary material, especially since it was in the hands of a fairy with extraordinary temperament and unparalleled beauty.
Whether out of gentlemanly conduct or personal cultivation, Liu Hai felt that he would never misjudge someone.
These three are truly VIPs!
At this moment, Zhou Quan was stunned and extremely shocked by the benefits of the Supreme VIP card!
You can take any three antiques under a million! That's like getting three million for free!
Thinking back to the past, before the world changed drastically, when he was just a wage earner, what did three million mean?
With a monthly salary of four or five thousand, after deducting daily expenses and other miscellaneous costs, he could only save about a thousand a month. It would take him two hundred and fifty years to save three million.
What the hell does that even mean?!
"Boss, please take it first..."
In his excitement, Zhou Quan almost blurted out that he wanted to bring out three antiques to play with, but he immediately held back.
"Honorable guest, what are your orders?" the shopkeeper asked warmly, a smile on his face, not forgetting to give his assistant, who was still dozing off, a nudge.
"Ahem, boss, could you bring us a glass of water? We're thirsty," Zhou Quan said, scratching his head and blushing.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and yelled at his awakened assistant, "Did you hear me! Quickly go and serve tea to our three distinguished guests! All you do all day is eat and sleep, sleep and eat, like a pig! No! Even a pig is more useful than you; at least you can be fattened up and sold for money! What can you do? All you do is waste my money..."
The servant was completely bewildered by the scolding, but he quickly recovered and went to serve tea.
"Distinguished guests, is there anything else you require? Although our branch may not seem large, it has a solid foundation. I am also a Evolver talent and have collected some fine treasures. Would you please take a look?"
"No need, just give us some valuables in return," Xiao Tian said coldly.
Shopkeeper Liu Hai smiled and said, "Distinguished guest, you are a VIP of our Bodhi Group. I can directly allocate five million to you. What do you say?"
Zhou Quan was stunned upon hearing this; this treatment was truly outrageous! Absolutely incredible!
How much does a villa in a good location cost in Luo Cheng?
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Honorable guest, currently, villas in prime locations in Luo Cheng haven't lost value. However, because they're in areas protected by the Evolver, prices have skyrocketed. A high-end villa like this costs around 100 million, and that's the cheapest one. But if you just want to live there, villas in the outer areas are also cheaper. Right now, there's not much danger in Luo Cheng, and in more remote areas, a villa can be had for 20,000 to 30,000."
"If the three of you require accommodation, I have a villa within the Evolver Protection Area that I can provide for you."
"No need, ten million will suffice." Xiao Tian wasn't considering living in those troublesome, busy, wealthy neighborhoods, nor did he plan to stay in Luo Cheng for an extended period.
"Ten million?" Shopkeeper Liu Hai looked troubled and said, "If it were before, this shop could easily come up with ten million in working capital. However, not long ago, King Level creature, a spirit, attacked. I had no choice but to spend a lot of money to purchase confidential items from some Evolver. Now we owe headquarters a lot of money and will have to work for free for about four or five years."
Xiao Tian was speechless. It seemed that this Supreme VIP card wasn't very useful after all.
"Distinguished guests, please don't be in a hurry. The three of you please wait in the lounge. I will find a way to get you ten million."
Liu Hai had no intention of missing the opportunity to befriend these three distinguished guests with extraordinary bearing.
"Won't it be too difficult for you?" Chu Feng asked.
"Rest assured, esteemed guests, I may not have that many, but that doesn't mean I don't have enough friends. Please, the three of you, rest a while. If you need anything, just call my waiter, Xiao Hou."
" Xiao Hou, come here quickly and take these three distinguished guests to the lounge."
The shopkeeper then left Treasure Gathering Pavilion, closed the gate before leaving, and drove to the Evolver Protection Area.
The Evolver Protection Area was formerly the most luxurious Jade Splendor Garden in Luo Cheng, where even a single villa starts at least in the tens of millions.
However, the prices of villas here are now even more outrageous! The owners have changed hands time and again!
With the world undergoing dramatic changes, the nation responded to the chaos in a timely manner, but local policies in major cities also had to be altered, and now it's an era where money is everything.
They're fighting for their lives, spending all their money to survive! And they're protected by powerful Evolver!
Ouyang Ba was trembling with fear inside his master Grandmaster Long's villa, not daring to utter a sound.
Master Grandmaster Long, seated leisurely in the grand chair, was sipping tea, while Ouyang Ba had been kneeling there for some time.
A middle-aged man with a noble air walked in from outside the door, came to Grandmaster Long's side, leaned close to his ear, and said something.
Grandmaster Long put down his teacup, looked at Ouyang Ba kneeling before him, and smiled.
"Xiao Ba, get up. These three have special identities. Losing isn't shameful. Consider it a lesson and reflect on your actions when you get back."
Ouyang Ba breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to agree.
" Grandmaster, according to our investigation, these three people have VIP cards from the Bodhi Group. They entered the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Liu Hai, went to the home of a very wealthy man in our neighborhood, seemingly to raise money."
"Among the younger generation, Xiao Ba's talent is quite good. That skinny kid was able to easily defeat Xiao Ba, which shows his high level of cultivation, approaching the Shackle Realm. The Bodhi Group is a transcendent and powerful force that we cannot afford to offend. Let's drop this matter and send out the invitation. I'm going to pay a visit."
"Yes, Grandmaster Long."
After his subordinates left, Grandmaster Long's gaze flashed coldly as he muttered to himself, "Order is gradually returning to normal in Luo Cheng. What are the Bodhi Group doing here now? Are they here to deal with me? Have they discovered my identity?"
