Sky Treasure Room.
Xie Guang Zhong was Sky Treasure Room’s manager, and had been in charge of Yong An’s Sky Treasure Room for over 20 years, and in the 20 years, he was cautious and conscientious. He did not dare to overlook any details.
He gloomily listened to his subordinate’s report. He waited for the report to be completed, then thought for a while, then said, “You said they spent 1.5 billion in a day?”
“Yes!” The subordinate reported respectfully: “Now the sales of Star treasures in Yong An City are going crazy, they have bought 3 sets of gold ranked treasures, 6 sets of silver rank star treasures worth 50 million star coins each, 10 sets of treasures worth 20 million star coins, and about 10 other small treasures. In total, they spent 1.5 billion star coins. All of it was treasures for blood meridian specialists, and all the treasure shops of Yong An City, other than ours, all of them have been swooped up.”
Xie Guang Zhong listened sharply for the important information, “You said they spent 1.5 billion entirely on buying treasures for blood meridians specialists?”
“Yes!” The subordinate had investigated very clearly, and said, “There is an old man with them, surnamed Fei. He is infamous, and has been in Yong An City for over 10 years, but he has always been mediocre. I do not know how he managed to sway the young master Xing, and even have his trust,”
“Young Master Xing?”
The subordinate immediately answered, “Young Master Xing is from a mysterious background, he wears an orangutan mask, and is quite young, so everybody calls him Young Master Xing.”
(TN: Orangutan in chinese is called Xing xing, therefore young master xing)
Xie Guang Zhong laughed out loud, “More like Xing from Star coins.”
(TN: Star coins in chinese is xing bi, therefore xing from star coins)
“Master is smart!” The underling immediately bootlicked up, “Young master Xing also has another person by his side, called Bell. She is a silver ranked Onyx Soul Horse, she used to be alone, but all of a sudden, she was recruited.”
“Can’t be simple.” Xie Guang Zhong thought, “To be able to attract a silver Onyx Soul Horse, he must not be so simple. The surnamed Fei blood meridians specialist, is most likely not so simple too. A blood meridians laboratory worth 1.5 billion, only three in Yong An City can contend with that. This Young Master Xing, has a wild heart.”
“Master is right.”
“Are there any leads on his background?” Xie Guang Zhong asked.
“No obvious leads.” The subordinate was hesitant: “But I can check on it, it seems that his underling, the Onyx Soul Horse, is very interested in the matters of Lupus Constellation.”
“Lupus Constellation.” Xie Guang Zhong’s eyes congealed, he had more inside information than other people, and he knew that there were currently many eyes on Lupus Constellation.
Onyx Soul, Honorable Martial Group, Clan Union, the three big powerhouses who have maintained equilibrium for so many years, would probably find a big battlefield in Lupus Constellation.
And it was also the first time the Clan Union had made the first move, causing people to sense something was amiss.
Onyx Soul had started to become a threat to many elders, and there were rumors spread by Onyx Soul, that the legend of Southern Cross Constellation, was instigated by someone secretly adding fuel to the flames.
And while Honorable Martial Group did not have any movements, But for Tang Tian to suddenly have an army from nowhere, caused the other two parties to be worried, now that the situation had become more confusing.
Lupus Constellation was just a desolated place of Heaven Road, but it had suddenly become the center for the powerhouses.
Those who were interested in Lupus Constellation were not the small fries.
Only the big powerhouses and aristocratic families paid attention to the situation.
Young Master Xing’s background was definitely not simple!
But thinking about it, for someone to spend 1.5 billion star coins in a day, in what way possible is he simple?
For the disciples of the big families, to have the authority to spend 1.5 billion in a day, their position must not be low. Thinking about it again, all the big aristocratic families that Xie Guang Zhong had removed from the list, there were very few of them who would venture out to purchase star treasures. They had their own ways of doing things, and would not go to the smaller shops to purchase them.
Xie Guang Zhong judged that Young Master Xing should be someone who has robust funds yet was not a rich family that had accumulated years of wealth. Young Master Xing’s display of spirit and ambitions was also similar to a new family style.
They were very ambitious, but not cautious.
These families were rarely seen, but on the contrary, many had appeared the past few years.
All these new families were the best customers, they were extremely generous, as long as their requirements were met, whatever price were suitable for them.
No business owners would dislike these types of customers.
After thinking about it, Xie Guang Zhong said, “The following night banquet, send someone to invite Young Master Xing. Remember to add in a gold card as a gift.”
Sky Treasure Room was a high end line, and their methods of selling were definitely different from the lower ends.
“Your subordinate will immediately do it.” The subordinate complied.
Old Man Fei looked at the mountain of star treasures in front of him, thinking that he was in a dream. He had never thought of this day, where he would be able to use the phrase “to pile up like a mountain” on star treasures in his entire life.
Among the small mountain of treasures, the most attractive one was beyond doubt the three dazzling gold treasures.
Other than the gold energy plate, the other two treasures were the Phoenix Constellation’s [Phoenix Beam Fire], and Lyra Constellation’s [Lyra Test Tube].
Phoenix Constellation belonged to the Southern Sky, but was the strongest constellation of the Southern Sky’s 42 constellations. The [Phoenix Beam Fire] was the size of a palm, and entirely golden with a beautiful tint. The phoenix beak could spray out a beam of phoenix fire, but was only limited to the distance of 30 cm long, and was useless in battle. But it could be used for blood meridians test, which was perfect. Refining, mixing and etc., there were many uses for it in the department of blood meridians research.
Lyra Constellation was one of the Northern Sky constellation, but after the destruction of the Lyra Dynasty, Lyra Constellation could not recover. But there were rumors that Lyra Constellation’s treasures were all sealed inside the Lyra Treasury. So when Old Man Fei saw the [Lyra Test Tube], he was extremely excited. The Lyra Test Tube treasure wasn’t comprised of just one test tube, but was a set of 24 tubes, which were placed in a Lyra Constellation engraved gold box. Each of the 24 test tubes, which were quietly placed nicely in the box, released a dim light, all in different colors, with each and every one of them having different uses.
Three gold rank star treasures, each of them were the main pillars of support for the laboratory.
Looking at the other silver star treasures, all of them specifically picked by Old Man Fei were not ordinary. Old Man Fei was so happy he could not keep his mouth straight. To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools. With all these star treasures, his blood meridians laboratory was immediately one of the top end laboratories.
It was like a dream.
He was extremely excited, although his Master threatened and warned him, but Old Man Fei was still determined. Because of the respect and trust, and the request and considerations of the Master, but he was willing to spend 1.5 billion on Old Man Fei, that showed the trust in his abilities, and that was what he needed the most.
No matter what, I have to unravel Master’s blood meridian mysteries as soon as possible!
Old Man Fei set that determination in his mind.
Tang Tian heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally splurged out the 1.5 billion. Great, since there was nothing else left for him, although Old Man Fei did not look too reliable, but Tang Tian decided not to get involved.
Suddenly someone knocked on their door.
Bell suddenly appeared cautious, and walked towards the door, “Who is it?”
“I am an envoy from Sky Treasure Room. My manager has instructed me to gift Young Master Xing an invitation.” The voice outside spoke respectfully.
Sky Treasure Room?
Tang Tian was startled, why did Sky Treasure Room give him an invitation? He did not understand the situation, so he asked Bell, “Let him come in.”
Bell obeyed and opened the door.
A man looked to be around the age of 30, spoke politely, “In two days, our Sky Treasure Room will be organising a banquet. We have heard about Young Master Xing arriving in Yong An City, so manager has specially instructed this servant to send the invitation to Young Master, hoping that Young Master would show some face.”
He produced an invitation letter.
Tang Tian accepted and opened the invitation, whereas inside it was a gold card.
The man instantly explained, “The gold card is the manager’s kind intentions and hope Young Master will kindly accept it.”
Tang Tian nodded his head, and said, “Help me thank the manager, I’ll be there.”
The man heaved a sigh of relief, “Then we will gladly welcome Young Master in two days time! We will send a carriage to pick up Young Master, Young Master can also bring your two friends to join.”
Tang Tian and the other party spoke for awhile more, before the man excused himself.
“What is Sky Treasure Room trying to do?” Tang Tian asked.
“I think Master’s big spending surprised them.” Bell laughed, “They wish to do business, and with Master’s grand movements, how could they not notice?”
Tang Tian then realized what she meant, and laughed out loud, “What a pity I’ve spent all of my money already!”
“The gold card is a good item. Sky Treasure Room controls their members and haven’t opened themselves to the public, where only people with cards can enter. Gold cards are much more expensive than the other cards, with other privileges, like in Yong An City, it is a symbol for status. This card, if you sell it, I think people would buy it for 20 million star coins.”
“That powerful?” Tang Tian was startled, then instantly became happy, “Not bad, not bad. The manager of Sky Treasure room, is very smart! On that day, I will bring you two to see the world! I have never been to such a powerful place before!”
Tang Tian did not stammer or feel awkward saying that, but was filled with happiness and confidence.
Bell laughed bitterly, with Master’s straight way of thinking, meeting those people who enjoy beating about the bushes, who knows what that would look like.
“Master, I won’t be going.” Old Man Fei shook his head, “I need to pack my home for the next two days, so when it is time to go, it will be easier. I also have some thoughts, that I need to sort out.”
Although Old man Fei was not that reliable, but his work was still of standard.
Tang Tian nodded his head, “Good!”

Yun Duo covered his mouth with his hands, his face was extremely shocked at the sight in front of him.
Wu Tie Yu stared at the black robed young man in front of him. With difficulty, he spoke: “You….who…. exactly are you?”
“My name is Crane, a disciple of Crane Sect.” Crane’s calm words, swayed with the wind, into Wu Tie Yu’s ears.
“Crane Sect….” Wu Tie Yu’s face was full of confusion, he had heard of the sect before, which was extremely weak. But….
Thinking of his own ambitions, Wu Tie Yu mouth was filled with bitterness.
A thick long trace of blood, suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, following that, with an astonishing speed, stretched outwards along his body. His body split in half.
Blood Splurted out.
Just at this moment, the bright red sun came out from behind a young man.
Ling Xu wiped the blood away from his mouth, he had suffered heavy internal injuries. Looking at Huai Bai Hua who had become silver, he glanced at the cowering figure at the distance, and sneered. Walking to Huai Bai Hua, he adeptly peeled off his skin cleanly.
He jumped up onto Flamingo, like a fierce silver wind, he disappeared into the vast land of sand.
