Chapter 320
On the hill where the Xiao family lived.
Xu Muan stared in the direction of the Tower of Babel with a complicated gaze.
“Daddy, it seems that the tower is about to open,” Xiao Xiaodong walked to Xu Muan and said.
Xu Muan nodded, “Yeah, it’s almost the time.”
Xiao Jinting thought of bringing the others with him through the jade space, but he gave up. The Tower of Babel was said to be something from the upper world, and Xiao Jinting didn’t know if it would contradict the jade space. He was also worried that cheating would trigger a change in the tower, so he didn’t dare to take the risk.
Xiao Xiaodong touched his chin and said, “I don’t know which floor Father can reach. It would be awesome if he can reach the ninth floor.”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “Your father is still young. He’s just taking a look this time. It will make it easier for his next trip to the tower.”
“Daddy, when the tower opens, the most powerful cultivators of the humans and sea demons go inside the tower,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Xu Muan nodded, “Yeah!”
Once the tower opened, neither the humans nor the sea beasts were willing to miss this opportunity, and almost all the Nascent Souls went there.
“Daddy, those old sea beasts enter the tower, and they won’t be able to come out for a while. We can take this chance to earn spiritual stones.” The powerful beasts had left, and the young men could go to the sea and hunt to their hearts’ content.
“You’re right,” Xu Muan said.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed. For Xiao Jinting, it had been seventy or eighty years.
During the period, Xiao Jinting accumulated a large amount of pills. Before Xiao Jinting left, he gave Xu Muan a lot of pills and spiritual spring water. They could sell the pills that they didn’t need.
Why did a war break out in Cloud Continent? Wasn’t it because of the spiritual stones?
The reserves of spiritual stones on Nebula Island were sufficient, but the amount of spiritual herbs was far smaller than the Cloud Continent. In addition, the cultivation level of the people on the island seemed to be much lower than the Cloud Continent.
…
At the Ye house.
“Miss, Xu Muan has come,” Ye Fang entered the room.
Ye Jinlan was surprised. “Xu Muan? Why does he come? Bring him in.”
After Xiao Jinting made his fame, the Ye family started to pay attention to Xu Muan and the others. Although Xu Muan was a low-key person, Ye Jinlan didn’t dare to underestimate the person behind Xiao Jinting.
Ye Jinlan and Xu Muan chatted for a while, and she was surprised.
“Mr. Xu, do you want to hold an auction?” Ye Jinlan asked in bewilderment.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes. in fact, I have a lot of pills that can help the cultivators form the core. Our family has all advanced to Golden Core, and these pills are of no use to us, so I’m thinking of selling them for spiritual stones.”
Xu Muan said lightly, but Ye Jinlan couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She raised her voice and asked, “You have pills that can help cultivators form the core?”
Xu Muan frowned at Ye Jinlan. “Miss Ye, you’re too excited.”
Ye Jinlan smiled awkwardly and said, “Sorry, I got carried away.” The Ye family had long suspected that the Xiao family had something that could help form the core, but they didn’t act recklessly as they were awed by the strength of the Xiao family. Although the Ye family had maintained its seat in the Business Alliance, their status was not stable. Hearing Xu Muan’s words, Ye Jinlan immediately realized that the Ye family’s opportunity had arrived.
“It’s okay.”
“Mr. Xu, what can we help you?” Ye Jinlan regained her composure and put on her usual smile.
“It is not easy to hold an auction, so I want to cooperate with the Ye family,” Xu Muan said.
“Of course,” Holding a large auction would benefit the Ye Family hugely. “Can I see those pills?”
“If you want them, I can sell at an internal price,” Xu Muan said.
Ye Jinlan smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Xu.”
…
Xiao Xiaodong had been waiting outside. When he saw Xu Muan come out, he went up and asked, “Daddy, have you made the deal?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, we don’t need to cooperate with the Ye family. We can hold the auction ourselves,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
“It’s not that simple. We are not well established yet, and our influence is inferior to that of the old families. Although the Ye family is in decline, after all, they managed to maintain their seat in the alliance and have some influence. Working with the Ye family will save us a lot effort,” Xu Muan said.
Xiao Xiaodong nodded in depression, “In this case, the Ye family will benefit from it.”
” Those who achieve great things do not stick to small things,” Xu Muan said.
“I got it.”
After Xu Muan left the Ye house, he went to the auction venue provided by the Ye family. Xiao Xiaofan, Lei Xuan and Chen Xu also arrived.
They began to set up the venue. To prevent accidents, Xu Muan decided to set up a large restriction over the auction venue.
“Where’s Xiaojin?” Xu Muan asked Xiao Xiaofan.
Xiao Xiaofan shrugged and said, “He went out with his stupid bear. He said that he would meet us later.”
Xu Muan frowned. “Ask him to come back as soon as possible. I’m worried about him.”
Xiao Xiaofan said indifferently, “Daddy, Xiaojin is a Golden Core, and he has the ability to escape if he encounters any danger. Don’t worry.”
The Ye family was efficient, and auction invitations quickly reached the major forces.
The auction attracted attention from all parties. The major forces of Nebula Island had different reactions.
