Chapter 983 - Sparring With White Lotus
Once they received Yuan's approval to buy more treasure from him at a discount, the Bai Family returned to the bed and started picking out even more treasures to purchase.
In the end, they decided to just buy all of his treasures.
"How much do you want for all of these treasures?" Bai Mengyao asked him.
Yuan looked at the treasures and pondered. There were 201 treasures in total.
"How does 10 billion sound? You can easily get 10 billion back and then some more if you decide to sell them afterward."
Bai Mengyao pondered for a moment before nodding, "Deal! I'll buy all of your treasures for 10 billion!"
"Great. It's a pleasure doing business with you." Yuan shook his hand.
"You can give my daughter your bank information later. We'll send you the money as soon as possible. It'll take three days minimum, but we should have it sent over by tomorrow." Bai Mengyao said.
"Take your time." Yuan nodded.
"As for the treasures, you can take them now."
"Are you sure? We can wait until the payment is through." White Lotus said.
"It's fine. I want to get rid of them as soon as possible, anyway. They're taking up too much space."
Bai Mengyao swallowed nervously after seeing how casual Yuan was being with these treasures, almost as though he was just getting rid of trash in a garage sale.
Although Earth-grade and Heaven-grade treasures are incredibly valuable to other players, they could be considered trash in Yuan's eyes. In fact, he still has several Divine-grade treasures that he plans on selling in the auction house, where he will definitely fetch more money than selling it to the Bai Family.
"Once again, thank you for selling these treasures to us. I will make sure they're all put to good use." White Lotus bowed to him in a respectful manner.
Yuan logged off the game and called Wang Ming shortly after.
"Hey, get on Cultivation Online and meet me at the city square. I have some things for you." Yuan said to him.
"Sure thing."
Sometime later, Yuan met up with Wang Ming at the city square.
"Hey, how did your sister's birthday go? And when do you plan on coming back? The mansion feels empty without your presence." Wang Ming asked him.
"The birthday went pretty well, but it wasn't entirely smooth sailing. Don't worry, it's already been taken care of. As for when we'll return… I'm not sure, but it shouldn't take more than a week."
"I understand. I won't ask for any details now, but make sure to tell us about it when you get back. Anyways, what do you have for me?"
Yuan handed him a spatial ring and said, "I want you to sell these treasures in COPlayerAuctions."
"You mean that online auction house that all of the big families use? I heard their popularity skyrocketed after you sold an item there." Wang Ming recalled.
"Yes, and make sure to tell them that these treasures are from me. They'll treat you better that way."
"I'm a little scared to look at the inside… Oh, do you want me to sell them one by one or all at once?" Wang Ming then asked.
"You'll get more if you sell them one by one. They're all Divine-grade treasures, after all."
"D-Divine?!" Wang Ming exclaimed in a shocked voice before covering his own mouth.
"The last time a Divine-grade item was sold on that platform was when you sold that zither…"
"And that was only a low-quality treasure. All of these are high-quality treasures, so they should be able to fetch a billion with ease." Yuan smiled.
"I see… When do you want me to sell them?" Wang Ming proceeded to ask.
"Whenever you want. I just earned 10 billion selling the other treasures, so I am not in a rush to earn more money right now."
"Ten billion? What the hell did you sell to earn that much money?"
"Forget it, I don't even want to know." Wang Ming shook his head.
"Anything else you want me to do?" He then asked.
"Give the others one ring." Yuan proceeded to hand him 6 spatial rings.
"Are these…"
"Yes, they're resources that will support you while I am gone."
"Once again, I am a little scared to see the inside…" Wang Ming sighed.
"Hmm? Wait. Why are there 9 rings? Since Li Jinxi will be following you, we only have 6 people."
"One of them is for my friend who will be joining us soon. The other two rings are for my sister and her friend. Give it to them when you have the chance."
"I understand."
Yuan logged off Cultivation Online shortly after and went to rest.
The following day, Yuan proceeded to spend the entire day watching Yu Rou live her life as a disciple of the faction.
During his second day at the faction, Yu Rou decided to challenge Yuan.
"Please spar with me!" Yu Rou said to him with a serious look on her face.
"Sure." Yuan nodded without hesitation.
"And don't you dare go easy on me!"
"I won't." Yuan smiled behind his mask.
With nothing but a wooden sword in his grasp, Yuan proceeded to smack Yu Rou around until she could no longer stand back up.
The fight was so one-sided that it looked almost comical.
"I-I know I said to not go easy on me, but did you have to be so brutal? Ahh… I can't feel anything but pain right now…" Yu Rou complained after the spar ended a few minutes later.
"This is how I normally train with the people in my faction. And I didn't hit you that hard. You're exaggerating."
"Exaggerating?! Look at my hand! It's already bruised!"
Yuan laughed, "It'll heal in a few hours."
"Now that I think about it… This is the first time that you've hit me." Yu Rou said a moment later.
"Huh? This doesn't count. It's a spar."
"Whatever. I'm too exhausted to deal with you now."
Suddenly, one of the disciples there approached Yuan and bowed to him, "E-Excuse me! Senior Yuan! Can I also request a spar with you?!"
Yuan looked at this cute and delicate girl and nodded, "Sure."
Sometime later, shortly after his second spar ended, a third followed, and this would continue until Yuan had sparred with everyone there.
"Thank you for the spar, Senior Yuan..." The last disciple to spar with him said as she laid on the floor.
"Thank you for sparring with me." Yuan nodded.
"After seeing you spar with so many people, I am starting to feel like sparring with you too, even though I know that I will lose." White Lotus said with a bittersweet smile on her face.
"If you want to spar as well, I won't mind." Yuan offered his wooden sword to her.
White Lotus looked at the sword with a nervous look on her face.
'If I lose to him before so many disciples, I will definitely lose some face, but if I don't fight him, they others will think that I am a coward. Either way, it's my loss…' White Lotus sighed inwardly.
In the end, White Lotus accepted the sword and agreed to spar with Yuan.
'Even if I lose to him and lose some face, it's a lot better than being labeled a coward!' She thought to herself.
