Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 47 Extorting Money from Each Person
The Immortal Tower floated in the air, its boundless immortal power pressing down on all directions!
Accompanied by a sentence from Lu Xingyun.
In an instant, all eyes turned to her.
That brat from the Lu family! What a petty person who has gotten away with something!
They only dared to mutter these thoughts to themselves, and did not dare to say them aloud.
“Hehehe, interesting, little girl, what’s your name?”
Xu Huanhuan flew in from nowhere, looking at Lu Xingyun with curiosity.
“Hello, Sister Xu, my name is Lu Xingyun.”
“Since you’re calling me ‘sister,’ can I get in for free?”
“That won’t do!”
Lu Xingyun flatly refused.
If you don’t talk about money, you’re the older sister and I’m the younger sister.
But if you’re talking about money, I don’t know you!
“Hmph, you stingy person!”
Xu Huanhuan glanced at Lu Jiu, then waved to the elderly protector.
“Master Chan, retrieve that spiritual vein.”
“Spiritual…spiritual vein?”
Xu Buchan’s old eyes trembled, “Miss, that’s the one you went through so much trouble to find in the wilderness…”
“It’s just a mere spiritual vein, nothing to brag about.”
Xu Huanhuan looked completely unconcerned, displaying remarkable composure.
Turning her head, she looked at Lu Jiu with a grin, “Aren’t you right, Senior Jiu?”
Lu Jiu couldn’t help but chuckle.
This little girl is really interesting.
“It’s just a spiritual vein, nothing serious. I’ll waive the entrance fee for you,” Lu Jiu said.
“Ninth Senior!” Lu Xingyun’s face darkened.
With a spiritual vein about to be in their grasp, how could Senior Nine have made such a foolish mistake?
“That won’t do. I greatly admire Senior Nine. My humble spiritual vein is hardly a token of my respect.”
Xu Huanhuan took out a sealed jade box and put it into Lu Xingyun’s hand.
Then, Xu Huanhuan winked playfully at Lu Jiu, transformed into a streak of light, and flew towards the stone platform at the bottom of the lake.
Lu Xingyun stared blankly at the jade box in his hand, momentarily lost in thought.
As expected of Senior Nine, I had misunderstood him. He was actually using a strategic retreat to advance!
The ancient Xu family was truly generous, offering a spiritual vein in one go!
Soon, Lu Xingyun came to his senses, his eyes practically filled with the thought of getting rich!
She declared loudly, “As you all have seen, the ancient Xu family has set a precedent for you: anything less than two spiritual veins is not worth the entrance fee!”
Good heavens! This is blatant price gouging.
“These are two spiritual veins. There have been many misunderstandings before. I hope you will forgive me, senior. I will definitely come to apologize in person soon!”
To everyone’s surprise,
The Seven Killings Saint Son strode through the air and took out two sealed jade boxes.
“Senior Nine is of a higher realm, and I suppose he would not stoop to the level of a mere junior like me.”
The Seven Killings Saint Son adopted a very humble attitude this time.
He perfectly embodied the ability to bend and stretch.
“You’ve got some guts, but if you want to apologize, two spiritual veins aren’t enough,” Lu Jiu said, glancing at him indifferently.
Given his status, it’s not like he would really want to make things difficult for a junior.
In truth, Lu Jiu saw a lot of Zhang Xiaohui’s traits in this kid; he was very bold and ambitious.
Although he jokingly referred to Zhang Xiaohui as nothing more than a sycophant back then, Lu Jiu did not actually look down on such people.
After all, everyone has their own way of making a living. You can have your own preferences, but you can’t just dismiss others.
However, the Seven Killings Cult founded by Zhang Xiaohui should not have targeted and suppressed the Lu family, nor should they have spread rumors to smear and defame his past.
“Senior is right to reprimand me; I was being presumptuous.”
The Seven Killings Saint didn’t argue and obediently took out another storage ring. “This junior has no more spiritual veins on him. This storage ring contains one million divine crystals.”
Lu Xingyun glanced at Lu Jiu and, seeing that Lu Jiu didn’t say anything, immediately reached out and grabbed the two spiritual veins and the storage ring containing a million divine crystals.
“Thank you for your patronage, Seven Kill Saint Son. Welcome to visit again next time!”
The Seven Killings Saint, who had already turned and flown towards the stone platform at the bottom of the lake, almost stumbled.
“What?! Five million divine crystals! This is robbery!”
Qin Chengxian walked over with a stiff upper lip, only to be stunned by Lu Xingyun’s outrageous price.
He never expected that this seemingly unremarkable little girl from the Lu family would have such a big appetite!
“Young Master Qin, what you’re saying is quite something. The ancient Qin family was renowned and its foundation was unfathomable. What are a mere five million divine crystals worth?”
“You’re the eldest son of the Qin family! You can’t possibly not even afford five million divine crystals, can you?”
Lu Xingyun said with a smile.
“Who says I can’t produce it?”
Qin Chengxian, obsessed with saving face, exclaimed, “This is a top-grade divine artifact, its value is no less than five million divine crystals!”
Lu Xingyun’s eyes were smiling so much that they curved into crescent shapes.
We’re rich! We’re rich!
Without exception, all other factions were exploited by Lu Xingyun, who treated them differently based on their status.
even so.
These people are still willing to pay money, which shows how abundant the resources in the Ancient Demon Realm are, and they are willing to pay a high price to enter.
“Sis, you’re amazing!”
Lu Changhe had absolute admiration for his older sister.
“You know nothing! It’s not that I’m powerful, it’s that Senior Nine is powerful!”
Lu Xingyun raised his hand and flicked Lu Changhe on the head, then smiled and handed the storage ring in his hand to Lu Jiu.
“Why give it to me?”
Lu Jiu shook his head and smiled, “I told you to make the decisions. What you take is naturally yours, and you get to decide.”
Lu Xingyun was stunned.
Such a huge fortune, and I get to call the shots?
With just one sentence from Ninth Senior, even if they returned to the Lu family, those elders would never be able to get these things back from her!
“Thank you very much, Senior Nine!”
Taking a deep breath, Lu Xingyun seemed to instantly understand how much this Ninth Senior valued her!
“Alright, let’s get down to business. We should go in now.”
As Lu Jiu finished speaking.
Bai Su put away the Immortal Tower, and the Demon Blood Sky Roc flapped its wings, instantly flying towards the stone platform at the bottom of the lake.
Buzz!
The moment they arrived near the stone platform at the bottom of the lake, a ripple of spacetime distortion appeared, and everyone was instantly teleported into the Ancient Demon Secret Realm!
…
“If I become an immortal, I will surely destroy the Lu family!”
Now that they had entered the Ancient Demon Realm, the Seven Kill Saint no longer concealed his emotions, his eyes filled with surging killing intent.
He has never suffered such a loss since his debut!
“Holy Son, do not be impatient. Your talent is extraordinary, and becoming an immortal is only a matter of time.”
“That person was just acting recklessly because of his immortal artifact. Our Seven Killings Holy Sect also has immortal artifacts!”
“Given the sect leader’s methods, he might very well personally descend with a celestial artifact. At that time, the mere Lu family and that so-called Ninth Senior will only face certain death!”
The elderly protector advised, “The most urgent task is to undergo training in this ancient demon realm.”
“I understand the importance of things!”
The Seven Killings Saint took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and murderous intent in his heart.
Two celestial beings had previously perished at the Lu family’s hands, and it was thought that the sect leader would personally intervene, but there was no movement whatsoever.
Even when a projection of the cult leader was shattered at the Lu family’s location, the cult leader still did not personally arrive.
Now that the Lu family is even more arrogant and domineering, it is almost inevitable that the Seven Killings Holy Sect and the Lu family will go to war again!
