Long Ryu look back and saw Liu Bia was the one that pulled his hand. Long Ryu asked her, "What happen Little Biaer? This there something you need?" "No, I don't need anything but I am getting tensed because of you." "But why are you getting tensed for?" Long Ryu asked while smiling. "Stop joking you know the reason why I am tense. I will send someone to the clan and let father know about this situation. He will have some way to get us out of this situation." Liu Bia said to Long Ryu. "You don't have to do anything. Just wait here for me. I will be back soon." After saying that Long Ryu went outside the hall and disguised himself as Zong Yuan.
Then he went to collect his item and money. He went to meet with the old man. When he meet there were 3 other people were present with him. Long Ryu knows all of them. They were Xiao Ling, Han Fan, and Han Hu. Everybody was looking at him Han Fan also recognized him. Then he said to his father's ear, "Father this is the guy that made things difficult for me in the previous auction. He said his name was Zong Yuan." Han Hu looked at Long Ryu and asked, "Are you perhaps someone from the imperial clan?" Long Ryu looked at Han Hu and asked, "Who the hell are you?" After hearing that Han Hu became angry he said to himself, "What happened to today's kids first Long Ryu now this Zong Yuan. But I can't talk to this guy rudely if this guy is from the imperial clan. There will be a great consequence for angering a member of the imperial clan." Then Han Hu cupped his hands and said, "Sorry for not introducing myself. I am Han Hu the patriarch of the Han clan and the father of this worthless son." Then he pointed his finger toward Han Fan. Han Fan was feeling ashamed because his father was calling him in front of everyone and there was also a beautiful girl present in the room. "I don't care who you are and how worthless your son is. I have something to discuss with the elder. Can you give us some privacy?" Long Ryu said nonchalantly.
After being disrespected by Long Ryu again Han Hu became even angrier but he couldn't do anything to him because of his fear. Then Han Hu quickly gave the money to the elder and left the room with Han Fan. When he was going out of the room he told Han Fan, "Oi, I want to kill you, Long Ryu, at any cost today. If you can't kill him from this month you will not get a single penny from the clan". "Ok, father I will kill him today but I want the young miss of Liu clan Liu Bia as a reward," Han Fan said. "We will think about that after you complete the task successfully." Han Hu said. Han Fan nodded and went to meet with Captain Li.
In the room, Long Ryu, Xiao Ling, and the old man were talking. "Here take this payment we got from Han Hu for your pills," The old elder said. Long Ryu takes the bag. That bag was a low-tier storage bag for carrying qi stones. Every major clan has this kind of bag. Previously Long Ryu got a treasure box from Liu Ling treasure box and the treasure bag had a different function. In a treasure box, herbs can be stored and their quality will remain intact for some time but a storage bag can only store qi stones if herbs were stored in a storage bag their quality will damage. That's why storage box is rarer than storage bags. Long Ryu checked what was inside the bag there were 50, 00. 000 qi stones then the elder handed him another bag there were 5, 00, 000 qi stones.
When the old elder saw Long Ryu examining the bags he said to Long Ryu, "I have deducted 2, 00, 000 qi stones from your money for 2 storage bags and Long Ryu didn't pay his 25, 00, 000 qi stones for 1 bottle of pills. I will go and get them from him now." "No, I will get the money from him." Long Ryu quickly told him. The old elder nodded. Then Long Ryu again said, "Also take the money for the item Long Ryu brought and give me the item he brought. I will give them to him." "Do you have a deep relation with Long Ryu?" Xiao Ling who was silent for some time asked. Long Ryuj smiled mischievously and asked, "Why? Do want to marry him?" Xiao Ling blushed and said in an angry voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why I will marry Long Ryu?" Long Ryu smiled again and asked, "Then why are you asking about him?" "That's because you are giving him so many resources for free and even paying for him." Long Ryu couldn't control himself anymore and started laughing loudly, "Hahahaha". "Why are you laughing?" Xiao Ling asked him. Then Long Ryu said, "Are you jealous?" Xiao Ling understand the way she said it was wrong. She blushed even more and said, "No, I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to know, what is your relation with him?" Long Ryu became serious and said, "I just know him well."
"Ok, Linger that's enough if he wants to pay the price Long Ryu's instead. Why will we have any problems? Zong Yuan, please give 3, 40, 000 qi stones." Long Ryu nodded and took out 3, 40, 000 qi stones, and gave them to the old elder. The old elder then gave Long Ryu the item he brought from the auction from the storage ring in his hand. Long Ryu was surprised to see a storage ring because, unlike other storage-type items in the storage ring, everything can be stored. Long Ryu was just surprised but he didn't care because he has the system storage. After that, he was about to leave but he saw Xiao Ling was pouting her face like he did something to her really bad. But he didn't know what he did so wrong to her.
After thinking for some time he asked her, "Did your cultivation base improve?" Xiao Ling nodded and said, "I became an 8th-stage elementary profound realm cultivator after consuming the previous 2 pills you had given me." Long Ryu was shocked and said, "What? Your cultivation base increased by 1 minor realm after consuming 2 pills? Did my pill's quality dropped?" But the old elder quickly said, "No no, your pills were fine. It is just this lad's spirit beast is a little special." "Can you tell me what kind of special spirit beast she has?" Long Ryu asked in curiosity. But the old elder was hesitating to tell him. Seeing the old elder hesitating Long Ryu said, "It's ok if you don't want to tell me." Suddenly Xiao Ling grabbed the old elder's hand and nodded then said to Long Ryu, "Actually this is not a major secret that I can't tell you. My spirit beast is special it can't absorb the qi from nature but it absorbs qi from pills and the foundation it gives me is stronger. But when my cultivation becomes higher the effeteness of the previous pills also becomes less. Like when I eat the qi gathering for the first time I was able to advance 1 minor realm but for advancing after that I needed to consume 2 pills. I will need more pills to advance to the 9th stage."
"Ah, you have only this problem? You don't need to think about this problem I can give you pills to cultivate." Long Ryu said nonchalantly. Hearing what Long Ryu said Xiao Ling felt warmth in her heart. Then she said again, "But when I need to break through to the higher and after that, these pills won't work anymore." "You don't have to worry I can manage those high-grade pills too." Xiao Ling became irritated because of Long Ryu's pursuit then she mumbled, "But I won't be here." Long Ryu didn't hear it he continued, "You don't have to give me money immediately and we can deal with how we did with the first pill." Xiao Ling smiled and said, "OK, I will be counting on you then." "Ok, then I will take my leave to meet you very soon." Long Ryu said before leaving the auction house.
After that Long Ryu removed his disguise and went to where Liu Bia was. When Long Ryu was able to find Liu Bia he saw there was another person beside her. That person was Chu Yue. Long Ryu went there and Chu Yue asked him for the pills quickly but Long Ryu didn't give them to her easily. He first asked for the pill's recipes. Long Ryu quickly checked them out quickly and saved them in the 1st-grade pills file in the system. When Chu Yue saw that Long Ryu was only looking at them she thought that she was doing unfair business. So she gave 3 2nd grade pills recipes to Long Ryu for looking sometimes. Long Ryu didn't refuse and saved them in the 2nd-grade pills file. Then Chu Yue gave him 5, 00, 000 qi stones and Long Ryu also gave her 1 bottle of qi gathering pills.
After that Long Ryu and Liu Bia were left alone. Long Ryu took Liu Bia to the corner of an ally and give her 3 bottles of qi gathering pills and told her to give them to the patriarch, "Little Biaer, I will not be going with you. I am going to the treasure map area to find out the treasure." Long Ryu said to Liu Bia. "Ok, but you have to be careful. I think that Han Fan is scheming something. I saw him going to the forest with some of his clan warriors and captain Li." Liu Bia warned him in a worried voice. "What? They are trying against me I will show them who is going to be scammed." Then Long Ryu saw Liu Yue was also returning to the clan so he left Liu Bia with them and went to the auction house. This time he went in with his normal self. "It's time to use my 2nd sub-talent." Long Ryu said with a grinning smile.
