I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

A martial emperor typically has a net worth of around 100 million.

Lin Xiao did not answer He Tianhong.

He said to Liu Zhang and Zhang Hanlin, "Deacon Liu, Deacon Zhang, it's getting late. The investiture ceremony is hereby concluded. Let's see the guests out!"

"..."

He Tianhong's lips twitched a few times.

He understood perfectly well what Lin Xiao meant: he was dissatisfied with the price Lin Xiao had offered and didn't even want to negotiate further.

Five million!

He Tianhong gritted his teeth and said, "This is already the limit that the six major sects can offer!"

"see a visitor out!"

"Ten million!"

"see a visitor out!"

"Twenty million!"

"see a visitor out!"

"..."

"Lin Xiao, what exactly do you want?"

Despite He Tianhong's repeated attempts to raise the price, Lin Xiao consistently responded by simply asking him to leave.

This drove He Tianhong almost crazy.

Chapter 179 A Bountiful Harvest

He Tianhong has raised the price to 20 million yuan per stone.

However, Lin Xiao simply responded with the words "send the guest away."

This left everyone else speechless.

"Lin Xiao's appetite is too big."

"Yes! Twenty million gold stones per person, more than a hundred people, that's... how many again?"

"More than two billion!"

"My goodness! That's equivalent to the wealth of more than twenty Martial Emperors!"

This is a huge fortune.

But Lin Xiao did not agree, clearly dissatisfied.

This left everyone involved speechless.

"Lin Xiao, what exactly do you want? Don't push us too far."

He Tianhong roared.

Lin Xiao ignored him and instead looked at Tang Chengyuan and the others, saying indifferently, "Ah Yuan, there are still dozens of latrines in the back mountain waiting for you to clean them up."

"Master! Help!"

"Master, please save me!"

"I never want to clean out the toilet again! Waaah..."

Tang Chengyuan and the others shuddered at the mere mention of the outhouse.

They hurriedly grabbed onto He Tianhong and the others' legs, crying and refusing to let go.

The sect leaders, including He Tianhong, Lei Zhu, and Wu Mazhi, all had their eyelids twitching and felt a chill run down their spines.

Lin Xiao's move struck their vital point.

Instead of talking to them, they went directly to intimidate Tang Chengyuan and his group...

"Lin Xiao, you...you name your price!"

Wu Mazhi gritted his teeth and said, "A more reasonable price!"

"Then... one hundred million!"

Lin Xiao stated the price he had already decided on.

This price is enough to make the six major sects feel the pinch, but at the same time, it's not enough to make them abandon prodigies like Tang Chengyuan...

If they really ask for an exorbitant price and push the six major sects too far, they might really abandon Tang Chengyuan and the others.

"One hundred million!"

As expected, He Tianhong and the others all showed expressions of inner turmoil and pain.

One of the Martial Emperors was worth 100 million.

With the talents of Tang Chengyuan and others, they will all be able to become Martial Emperors or even higher in the future.

So giving up Tang Chengyuan and others for 100 million would be a loss.

but……

One hundred million per person.

More than a hundred people, that's more than 10 billion.

This wealth is too much.

Even though He Tianhong and others held high positions, they still felt extremely pained.

"Master!"

You can't abandon us!

"Help!"

Tang Chengyuan and the others started wailing again.

My experience at Yaoguang Holy Land during this period was like a nightmare.

They never want to come back again.

"Shut up!"

He Tianhong angrily started cursing.

"Sect Leader He, perhaps... we should just give it to them!"

"..."

Ultimately, after some discussion, Wuma Zhi, Ziyun Zhenren, Lei Zhu, and others decided to make a deal.

They started pooling their money.

After a quarter of an hour, they finally managed to collect more than 10 billion stones.

All six major factions suffered heavy losses.

"Lin Xiao, money in one hand, application form in the other!"

To prevent Lin Xiao from cheating, He Tianhong said.

He's practically a nervous wreck now.

"Master He, are you looking down on me, Lin? Here, take your application form first."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Xiao sent all the application forms flying toward He Tianhong.

It highlights his generosity and magnanimity.

Upon receiving the application form, He Tianhong instinctively decided he didn't want to pay.

But when she thought about Bai Xuer and Ye Guoer's strength, she understood why Lin Xiao was so generous.

There were two masters standing behind him.

I'm not worried at all about him going back on his word or cheating.

His outwardly generous and magnanimous demeanor only served to highlight his petty and scheming nature.

"You tricked me again..."

He Tianhong realized he had been wronged and was so angry he gritted his teeth.

"for you!"

Soon after, He Tianhong tossed a storage bag to Lin Xiao.

Inside were piles of Yuan Stones.

"boom!"

Then, He Tianhong clenched his fist tightly, and all the application forms turned to ashes.

"..."

Everyone involved understands He Tianhong's feelings.

They spent over 10 billion shi (a unit of weight), only to buy back a pile of useless waste paper.

Anyone would be upset in this situation.

On the jade platform.

Lin Xiao checked the number of Yuan Stones.

"178 billion!"

Ye Guo'er also came over and carefully counted the number of those geniuses before saying to Lin Xiao, "That's right."

"Hmph! Even He Tianhong wouldn't dare to tamper with this."

"Fourth Master, how many spirit stones did you give me last time?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.

"All of these items together are probably worth over a billion!"

Ye Guo'er said with an arrogant expression, practically as if the words "rich woman" were written all over her face.

“Then I’ll pay you back 1 billion first, and then I’ll give you 10 billion!” Lin Xiao said.
