What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

"Two hundred and thirty million two hundred thousand."

Xu Tianlin returned to his counter, casually resting his hands on it, his voice echoing clearly in the hall.

"I guarantee I'll give you back a lively granddaughter, and incidentally, I'll also heal your old soul wounds, Lord of the Manor."

"Gurgle!"

Xiao Qiong swallowed the piece of chewing gum he had been chewing for a long time in one gulp.

The nonchalant look on his face vanished instantly, and his eyes widened in surprise.

So many years have passed.

He had already given up.

But is he really willing to accept this?

A genius who was among the most outstanding in human history had his cultivation completely halted at the Fusion Dao Realm.

Who knows if Xiao Qiong's seemingly indifferent demeanor hides a deep sense of helplessness?

He took two steps forward, walked to the counter, and his expression was more serious than ever before.

Are you sure?

It wasn't just Xiao Qiong.

Yun Shixian and Wei Peng, who were standing to the side, also turned their heads sharply, their eyes fixed on Xu Tianlin.

"Of course!"

"Um, it means confirmed."

Xu Tianlin maintained his calm expression.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Xiao Qiong's eyes.

He pointed to Wei Xiaoran, who was sitting lifeless on the bench in the corridor, and confirmed it one last time.

"This girl's injury is a backlash from the Soul-Breaking Technique."

"It's like a huge tree; a secret technique has cut off its trunk, branches, and leaves, even stripping away all the bark!"

Xiao Qiong turned her head and glanced at Wei Peng.

"But Elder Wei just used his Dao Integration Realm cultivation and the Wei family's restrictions to forcefully protect the tree roots underground."

"Although the tree roots are now extremely weak and almost dead, as long as they are kept alive by top-grade pills and nurtured for twenty or thirty years, they will eventually sprout new buds."

At this point, Xiao Qiong suddenly pointed to her chest.

"But I'm different from her!"

Xiao Qiong stared intently into Xu Tianlin's eyes, her gaze revealing a pain that had been suppressed for over a decade.

"My tree wasn't cut down; its roots were shattered directly underground!"

"Saving a tree that's just its roots and saving a tree whose roots have rotted to dust are two completely different things!"

Xiao Qiong braced her hands on the counter again and leaned forward.

"This is no laughing matter."

Xu Tianlin didn't even lift his eyelids.

What roots, what leaves?

Are you Danzo?

What's in it for me to joke with you?

Xu Tianlin raised an eyebrow.

But considering that he was, after all, somewhat working in the service industry, Xu Tianlin used the last bit of professional ethics that hadn't yet been eroded by monopolies to put on a smile.

"You tell me I haven't lied to you, have you?"

"In business, honesty and integrity are paramount; we must treat everyone fairly, young and old!"

"You're an old man and a child, what would I do if I lied to you? Wouldn't that ruin my reputation?"

"it is good."

Xiao Qiong nodded and then turned to look at Wei Peng.

Wei Peng was also looking at him.

The two top-tier experts at the level of palace lords exchanged a brief glance in an instant.

Let's pool our money!

After speaking, Xiao Qiong raised her hand, took out her personal terminal from her storage device, and swiped her finger across the screen.

"I only have 20 million in my personal account."

Wei Peng didn't speak, but repeated the same actions.

"I have a little more than you."

"Fifty-five million."

The two old men looked up and stared at each other.

Twenty million, plus fifty-five million.

All told, it's 75 million.

They couldn't even scrape together half of the 230 million!

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat awkward.

These are two dignified human clan lords, both top figures in the Dao Integration Realm and the Dao Fusion Realm.

He commands the battlefields of the heavens, able to mobilize thousands of troops with a single word. Yet now, he's stuck at the front desk, unable to afford medical bills.

"I remember blood elves have bounties, right?"

Xiao Qiong's eyes darted around, and she turned to look at the burning tree outside the courtyard.

"Old Wei, let's go and kill the King of the Thorn Feather Clan."

"Let's find the others, kill them all, and put them together."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Whoosh!"

A small figure transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the sign hanging on the burning tree.

Candice hid the bounty sign, which was much larger than herself, behind her back. Seeing the two human leaders staring at her, she shook her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, no—"

The little girl's face turned red with anxiety, and she could barely speak.

"Candice isn't offering a bounty anymore."

Although these two human leaders could definitely help him get revenge.

but--

Candice felt she couldn't afford it.

Previously, the entire clan's wealth had been stored with the shop owner's brother.

If all of it is earned by others, wouldn't Candice and her uncles and aunts in the clan be left homeless?

Candice doesn't want to leave the mother tree!

What to do, what to do?

Will they force me to buy or sell?

Candice's eyes were red and brimming with tears.

The little brain started working at lightning speed.

Hey—I've got it!

She stretched out her chubby little hand and pointed to the right side of the hall, where a round counter with the four large characters "Wanzu Bank" printed on it was located.

"Don't the old men have money to treat the older sister's illness?"

Candice tilted her head in a childish voice.

Then, she turned around and pointed with her little finger to the mountain of top-grade pills, jade marrow, and spiritual herbs piled up beside the bench.

"The shop owner's 'Myriad Races Bank' can buy and sell items!"

Candice looked at Wei Peng with a smile.

"These sparkly things should be worth a lot of money at the Myriad Races Bank!"

"Candice was cured by Uncle Elvis exchanging money for her treatment!"

Wei Peng was stunned.

He followed Candice's finger and looked at the half-meter-high mountain of medicinal pills.

Those were rare and precious materials that he had collected after spending half his life and traversing countless dangerous places.

The Heavenly Origin Rejuvenating Pill, Purple Leaf Poria Cocos Grass, Ten Thousand Year Warm Jade Marrow... Any one of these items could spark a bloody battle for them.

Exchange money?

He hesitated.

It wasn't that he was stingy with these material possessions.

If he could save his granddaughter, he wouldn't even bat an eye, let alone give up a bunch of elixirs, even if it meant going bankrupt.

The problem is, these medications are his last resort.

If he exchanged all these items for credits and gave them to the young shopkeeper.

just in case……

What if the shop owner is just bluffing and can't cure Xiao Ran at all?

By then, the money and the medicine will be gone.

What will happen to his granddaughter?!

Wei Peng was hesitant to take the gamble.

The stakes were too high for him!

"Lord of the Manor, you still don't believe in the shopkeeper's abilities?"

Rong Jing suddenly spoke.

She turned around, grabbed Liu Bo by the collar as he was huddled in the corner trying to make himself invisible, and dragged him in front of Wei Peng.

"How about this?"

"I'll vouch for this guy's life on behalf of the shop owner!"

Rong Jing patted Liu Bo on the shoulder and said loudly.

"If the shopkeeper can't cure Wei Xiaoran, Lord of the Manor, don't hold back, just slap him to death! Cut him into eight pieces and throw him out to feed the dogs, and our Cangyun Martial Arts University will have no objections!"
