Chapter 419 -86: Unexpected Gains, Ancient Immortal Treasures (Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Wanhua Building.

“Young Master Jiang!”

The girl in the green skirt saw Jiang Ning and immediately showed a bright smile.

“Miss Lv Yi!” Jiang Ning also greeted with a smile.

A moment later.

“Young Master Jiang, please have some tea first! May I know what brings Young Master Jiang to Wanhua Building?” Lv Yi asked.

Jiang Ning took out a gold brick.

The gold brick in his hand was the same golden box from before, which he had now shaped into the form of a brick with his bare hands.

After all, the content that was previously inside the golden box was too frightening, being a manifestation of the Blood and Flesh God, and the divinity captured in the golden box’s statue was several times greater than the one previously worshipped in the City God Temple.

This was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the statue inside the golden box.

Not to mention, the golden box before was also filled with a boxful of Hundred Spirit Blood.

And Hundred Spirit Blood was an important external aid for Fourth Grade peak Martial Artists to achieve the Grandmaster Realm.

Putting these two together already demonstrated the importance of the golden box.

If he were to openly display the golden box, it was uncertain whether it would attract trouble.

Now, as he had done, it was different.

By shaping it into the form of a gold brick, no one could tell that the object was once a golden box.

Lv Yi took the gold brick from Jiang Ning’s hand, glanced at it, and then respectfully placed it on the table in front of him.

“Young Master Jiang, please wait for a moment, I will go and get it weighed.”

“Wait!” Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.

Lv Yi stopped and looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning said, “In front of me, you don’t need to refer to yourself as a servant!”

Lv Yi was stunned for a moment, then replied, “This servant was purchased by Wanhua Building, and as a servant, it is natural to refer to oneself as such.”

Jiang Ning shook his head: “No need for that in front of me!”

Then he asked, “Do you want to redeem yourself?”

“Yes!” Lv Yi nodded vigorously: “I very much wish to. The money for redemption has long been prepared, but this servant doesn’t have the qualifications!”

Jiang Ning smiled: “How about this—I’ll speak to Master Lin later, how does that sound?”

Upon hearing this, Lv Yi immediately knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Jiang Ning.

“Thank you, Young Master!”

“No need for such formality!” Jiang Ning slightly raised his hand, and Lv Yi was lifted by an invisible force.

She looked at Jiang Ning with a bit of surprise as he mentioned, “Helping you is just a small effort!”

“Young Master’s kindness, in the next life I am determined to work like an ox or horse in repayment!” Leaving these words behind, Lv Yi exited the VIP room.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

He couldn’t help but think of a joke.

A life-saving grace, when met with a favored man, becomes a debt that can only be repaid with one’s self!

If the life-saving grace is owed to a disfavored man, then it becomes a debt that can only be repaid as an ox or horse in the next life!

…

Elsewhere.

Lin Qingyi, after hearing Lv Yi’s report, was clearly surprised.

She pondered for a moment, then said: “You go and attend to him properly!”

“Yes, Master Lin!” Lv Yi curtsied before retreating in small, measured steps. When she reached the door, she turned and left, closing the door behind her.

Inside the room.

Lin Qingyi shook her head slightly: “Unless necessary, I’d rather not see this youngster! I behaved a bit inappropriately the last time I saw him!”

Afterwards, a long sigh escaped her lips.

…

VIP room.

Lv Yi brought a small scale and weighed it.

“Young Master Jiang, this gold brick weighs 21 taels 7!”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Twenty-one taels 7 is the equivalent to 21,700 taels of silver.

If it were according to the Source Energy Points he obtained from purchasing the Blood Lotus before.

More than 20,000 taels of silver could allow his Source Energy Points to break through 500 points.

Among the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he has found so far, only the Blood Lotus had the best cost-effectiveness.

And since it could enhance Qi Blood Power, it was quite practical.

However, a moment later.

Jiang Ning: “…”

He looked at the several boxes containing the Blood Lotus that Lv Yi brought over and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

The most valuable among them was a Blood Lotus aged sixty years, which cost him just 1,500 taels of silver.

The rest, all being under forty years old, were hardly worth much money.

And were of little help to him.

“Is Young Master dissatisfied?” Lv Yi asked cautiously.

Jiang Ning replied, “Too little, I want to exchange that gold brick for similar Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, whether it is earth ginseng or Wild Ginseng, or anything else.” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

“Alright!” Lv Yi nodded: “Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment, I’ll go and invite Manager Han over.”

…

After another moment.

Under the guidance of Manager Han Hongmei, Jiang Ning had almost bought all the items in the mountains and waters classified as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

But he still hadn’t spent all his money.

Because the truly expensive items were all over a hundred years old.

Like the hundred-year Blood Lotus from last time, valued at 5,000 taels, and even then it was sold to him in a half-gift manner.

Manager Han Hongmei, seeing Jiang Ning’s somewhat disappointed eyes, couldn’t help but ask, “Is Mr. Jiang not satisfied enough?”

Jiang Ning nodded, “It’s insufficient! Are these all the stocks you have in the building?”

Manager Han Hongmei immediately nodded, “Last time Mr. Jiang made a large purchase, which cleared out much of our stock! And these past few months, because of the establishment of the Inspection Office, a lot of Martial Arts Academy students came, increasing our sales by more than tenfold compared to last year.”

“So there is not much left in our stock!”

“Moreover, with the recent heavy snows closing the mountains and ice sealing the roads, it has basically cut off all merchant travel from various places, and no replenishment of stock is possible.”

“The mountains and the Luoshui River covered by ice and snow mean that those who normally live off the land and waters have also essentially had no harvest.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning suddenly understood and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He didn’t expect that Wanhua Building’s stock would be so scarce as to be unable to satisfy his needs.
