Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 540: Full of Money and Arrogance

Li Jiangwang felt as if he were in an ice cellar.

The bone-chilling cold swept through his entire body.

The icy killing intent unconsciously radiating from Xiao Yi coated the entire reception hall with a layer of frost.

The white frost exuded waves of chilliness.

Gululu!

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Li Jiangwang stiffened his resolve and said, "Xiao, Director Xiao, please calm your anger…"

Whoosh!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi dispersed the surrounding coldness in an instant. His eyes fixed on Li Jiangwang, he spoke deliberately, "Pavilion Master Li, do you wish to advance further?"

"Hmm?"

Li Jiangwang was startled.

He was already a Pavilion Master of a main city branch. If he were to advance further, he would become the Pavilion Master of the capital's main pavilion.

But…

His qualifications were far from sufficient to become the Pavilion Master of a nations's main pavilion.

Unless…

In disbelief, Li Jiangwang gazed at Xiao Yi, drawing a deep breath as his throat bobbed, "Director Xiao, do you mean…"

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "I remember the Treasure Pavilion assesses the Pavilion Masters annually based on the total profits of their respective branches, promoting the excellent and eliminating the inferior. If the profits of a main city Pavilion Master's branch exceed that of the main pavilion's by five times, they can replace them. Am I wrong?"

Elder Yan had told him some of the rules of the Treasure Pavilion.

Xiao Yi had always kept them in mind.

After a moment's hesitation, a flash of eager desire crossed Li Jiangwang's eyes, but thinking about Xiao Yi's current situation, he couldn't help feeling hesitant.

"Pavilion Master Li, fortune favors the bold!"

Xiao Yi's voice seemed to carry an enchanting power, tempting, "If you follow the normal process, aspiring to become the main pavilion's Master would take at least a hundred years, right? If you could become the main Pavilion Master, both the treatment and resources you'd receive would far exceed your current status by ten or even dozens of times. By then…"

Hiss!

Li Jiangwang's last line of defense crumbled completely.

Just as Xiao Yi had said…

Following the normal process, he would have to wait at least a hundred years to reach the position of the main Pavilion Master through seniority.

By that time, he would have missed the prime time for cultivation.

His potential achievements were firmly capped.

But if he could become the main Pavilion Master now, just the improvement in treatment and resources would be enough to take his cultivation to the next level.

A hundred years later.

He might be able to reach the Seven Nirvana, or even the Eight Nirvana Realm, and thereby return to the Nantian Dynasty.

With this thought in mind.

Li Jiangwang clenched his teeth, "Director Xiao, just tell me what I need to do?"

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth rose slightly.

Having persuaded Li Jiangwang, the next steps would be more straightforward.

Swish!

He casually waved his hand, and several Storage Rings fell onto the table.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table's surface.

Li Jiangwang's eyes also fell on the Storage Rings, his face showing a trace of confusion, "What is this…"

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Pavilion Master Li should have heard that I've killed quite a few lords and experts of the Sword Dynasty recently. These are treasures collected from them. Just the Silver Tael alone exceeds three hundred billion, and there are also some exotic treasures, the total value should be around one trillion Silver Tael…"

Hiss!

Li Jiangwang shuddered.

His face showed an expression of incredulity as he gazed at the storage rings, his eyes burning with intense eagerness.

Ten trillion Silver Taels' worth of treasures!

The total pavilion of the Sword Dynasty only made about a trillion Silver Taels in profit a year; the ten trillion here was almost ten times the total pavilion's profit!

With such a substantial income, he would be more than capable of replacing the current Pavilion Master.

Watching Xiao Yi casually toss out so many treasures made him involuntarily take a sharp intake of breath.

Truly a display of wealth and power!

Money was clearly no object to him!

Gurgle!

Li Jiangwang swallowed hard, steeled his heart, and through clenched teeth said, "Director Xiao, I, Li Jiangwang, will go all in with you!"

Xiao Yi's lips curled up slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master Li, rest assured, you will realize how wise today's decision was." He paused and then continued solemnly, "Now that we're in the same boat, I hope Pavilion Master Li can help me gather these items as quickly as possible!"

He took out a writing brush and wrote down a list.

The list included hundreds of kinds of Spiritual Medicines and various types of formation stones and so on.

If he were to purchase them through his own channels, it would cost at least five or six trillion Silver Taels; even the purchasing price for the Treasure Pavilion would be two trillion.

Li Jiangwang glanced at the list and calculated the cost; he would still earn a net profit of eight trillion Silver Taels. Xiao Yi wasn't trying to swindle him financially as he said solemnly, "The items on the list are all available at Treasure Pavilion, though many need to be transferred from the main pavilion!"

Xiao Yi nodded, "I need to see all the items on the list before today ends!"

He had tempted Li Jiangwang with a huge profit because he needed to get these items as quickly as possible.

Little Lin and Liu Yi were to be executed in only three days; if he couldn't get these items as fast as possible, all the money he held onto would be useless.

After pondering for a moment, Li Jiangwang said, "I will go to the capital myself!"

"You may go to the capital, but first, take this pill before you leave!"

Xiao Yi took out a black pill the size of a grape from the storage ring, his face calm as he said, "This is a poison pill I've concocted myself; no one but me has the antidote. If you don't take the antidote within three days, you will die with your intestines perforated. This is a matter of great importance, so I ask for Pavilion Master Li's understanding!"

Li Jiangwang's mouth twitched violently.

After a slight hesitation, he swallowed the pill.

If the roles were reversed and he was Xiao Yi, he would also be extra cautious.

After taking the pill, Li Jiangwang said somberly, "I will be back before nightfall!"

"I'll be waiting right here!" Xiao Yi nodded his head.

Li Jiangwang immediately left the Treasure Pavilion.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set in the west.

Li Jiangwang returned successfully with all the medicinal herbs, handing them over to Xiao Yi one by one.

Immediately after...

Xiao Yi proceeded to the Treasure Pavilion's secret chamber, used the formation stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, and then inside the array, he started processing these medicines with the help of the Xuanzi Longevity Cauldron.

In the past few days, Xiao Yi's cultivation had risen to a new level, reaching the peak of the Six-fold of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, only one step away from the Seventh-fold. With these medicines he had purchased for two trillion Silver Taels, as long as he fully refined them, he would definitely be able to reach the Eightfold of the Dharma Manifestation Realm or even the Ninth-fold.

By then,

Even facing a super powerhouse who had undergone eight or even nine Nirvanic Rebirths, Xiao Yi would have the strength to kill them.

The capital of the Sword Dynasty had become a massive vortex.

Within that vortex were countless masters and powerhouses, as well as the vast Sword Dynasty's full effort in setting traps.

Crisis layered upon crisis.

It was a dire situation!

Only with sufficient strength could Xiao Yi break out of this dire situation and save people like Little Lin and Liu Yi from the multitude of dangers unharmed.

Whew!

Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath of turbid air, tossing the Spiritual Medicines into the Longevity Cauldron before him, his eyes narrowed into slits, battle fire in his eyes coalescing like two blazing suns, "Little Lin, wait for me..."
