Fat Meat
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Ye Zichen sat cross-legged in the great hall of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. He sat directly in front of one of the five paintings the Five Elements Great Emperor had left him, the one containing the lightning element.
White light flickered around him, and bolts of lightning rumbled through the hall.
Suddenly, a faint red bolt of lightning shot out of the hall and slammed into Ye Zichen's head. The bolt of lightning instantly dissipated. Ye Zichen sat cross-legged on the ground and opened his eyes.
His gaze was like lightning, and as soon as he opened his eyes, tangible lightning bore through them.
His majestic aura burst forth involuntarily from his body, and countless bolts of lightning filled the hall.
"Return."
That single word was like a commandment. As soon as it appeared, all the lightning surging through the hall gathered around Ye Zichen and returned to his body.
After absorbing the lightning, Ye Zichen's aura grew much stronger than before.
"I've achieved minor success in the lightning element. Of the five elements, only rain hasn't reached minor success yet! I've converted eighty percent of my divine power. It seems that as long as I achieve minor success in the rain element, I'll be able to convert immortal power into divine power and ascend the Divine Mountains. "
Ye Zichen sensed his aura and couldn't help but clench his fists.
He'd been in possession of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda for quite some time now. Even the Five Elements Great Emperor cared deeply about this treasure. Now, he finally sensed how extraordinary it was.
The pagoda was like a world of its own. Not only did it form its own dimension, it contained the laws of the heavens and the earth.
More importantly, time flowed differently within the pagoda. Ye Zichen did a rough calculation and found that the first floor was roughly ten times faster than the outside world.
In other words, one day in the outside world was more than ten days in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
To cultivators, this was like a bug. Furthermore, this was only the first floor. Ye Zichen had the feeling that time would flow even faster on the second, third, and fourth floors.
Ye Zichen left the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and walked out of his room.
He'd stayed in the pagoda for far too long. It was time to go out and relax. Cultivation required a balance between work and rest. Ye Zichen couldn't understand those who cultivated in seclusion. If they cultivated blindly, they'd probably go stupid. Those who were in death seclusion might have really died.
However, the moment he walked out of the room and escaped from the restriction, he heard a clamor coming from downstairs.
"There are still people who dare to cause trouble here?"
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, then walked down the stairs and saw that the first floor of the shop was filled with people.
"Jiao Qi, Huai Rong, what is going on?"
Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong raised their brows at the group of people still arguing with the shopkeepers inside the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong walked over.
"Young Master, didn't we agree to sell Sea Condensing Pills a few days ago? You said you would sell them for half a month. Now that half a month has passed, we will remove them from the shelves. These people didn't manage to buy a Sea Condensing Pill, so they're causing a ruckus here. "
Ye Zichen nodded, then arched his eyebrows.
"How's the sales recently?"
"Hehe, I know that."
Meng Huairong giggled, then pulled a jade slip from her pocket. She'd kept track of all the recent sales.
"Sales of Sea Condensing Pills are simply too good. I'm afraid we've earned trillions of spirit coins in the past half a month. The raw materials, natural treasures, precious artifacts, and talismans are also unimaginable. I've done some secret research, and not even the Skyspan Trading Company's total assets can compare to what we've earned in the past half a month. Right, the Skyspan Trading Company bought tens of thousands of Sea Condensing Pills from us! "
She handed the jade slip to Ye Zichen. Although he'd mentally prepared himself, when he saw the information, he couldn't help but gasp.
He was now a mountain of gold. Ye Zichen was sure that any family clan would covet his wealth.
"We have to be careful in the near future. We're a juicy piece of meat right now. I'm afraid countless family clans want a bite out of us."
"Some families have already made their move," said Jiao Qi. When Jiao Qi heard this, he said, "Just last night, a few peak-stage Immortal King experts tried to attack our shop. However, they were all killed by our people."
"As expected!"
Ye Zichen sighed inwardly. Of course, there were pros and cons to amassing wealth like this. Even the Skyspan Trading Company had people who dared rob them of their auction items, let alone the fact that he didn't even have as much power as the Skyspan Trading Company.
It made sense that someone would try to rob them.
Those immortal kings last night were probably just a signal. In the near future, even more family clans, or even people from the Divine Mountains, might send people to rob them.
"For the next few days, have the blacksmiths refine as many treasures as possible. Arm all of us. I'm not talking about an immortal sword or a set of battle armor. I want you all to be armed from your feet to your teeth. Also, get in touch with the Skyspan Trading Company and see if they have any demigod artifacts or divine artifacts for sale. Buy whatever you can. "
"Master, you …."
"Do you think that ninth-stage earth supremes are invincible here? Let me tell you, those immortal kings were just a signal. Our wealth is something that even a Celestial would covet. Perhaps in the future, you will encounter even more powerful opponents. Earth supremes, maybe even sky supremes. Do you understand? "
When Jiao Qi heard this, he realized the gravity of the situation. Yao didn't have a deep understanding of money, but when he heard Ye Zichen say this, he didn't dare act carelessly.
"I'll make the arrangements right away."
With that, Jiao Qi left the shop. At the same time, Meng Huairong frowned.
"Master, what should we do with these people?"
Meng Huairong was naturally referring to the customers who'd failed to buy the pills and were making a scene. In the past, Ye Zichen would definitely have driven them away, but when he considered the possibility that the Divine Mountains might send people down, he had other ideas.
"Sell! But tell them that because they missed the time limit, we'll have to raise the price a bit. One billion and two hundred million each, or exchange for treasures of equal value. This time, we won't limit the time limit, but the quantity. How many Sea Condensing Pills do we have left? "
"About four or five hundred thousand!" said Meng Huairong. She wasn't in charge of these things, so she couldn't give an accurate number.
"Then sell them for another three hundred thousand. Tell them …. After that, we won't be selling any more. If they want to buy, they'd better hurry!"
"Understood!"
When Meng Huairong heard this, she stepped forward. Ye Zichen smiled wickedly.
