“Master…” Zhang Honghua stammered, “Our Treasure Immortal Pavilion no longer has that much liquid capital.”
Miao Jincheng, who had long been scared out of his wits, questioned, “How could that be possible?!”
“Don’t you remember, Master? All our funds are tied up in Punishment Immortal Pills.” Zhang continued.
Upon hearing this, Miao Jincheng remembered his hoarding of goods.
He glanced at Tan Yun’s dark expression and quickly asked Zhang Honghua, “So how many Mid-Grade Celestial Stones do we still have?”
Zhang Honghua, appearing sincere, said, “Master, if we convert the Low-Grade Immortal Stones into Mid-Grade Celestial Stones, we still have six and a half million.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun was extremely excited, but he knew he had to know when to stop, so as not to push the enemy to a dead end. Otherwise, if Miao Jincheng truly informed his foster father about his matters, it would likely backfire!
Tan Yun nodded and said, “Miao Jincheng, considering you knelt before me, I’ll take five million!”
Miao Jincheng did not expect Tan Yun to take less from him. At the same time, he sensed from Tan Yun’s tone that as long as Tan Yun accepted the Immortal Stones, the grudge between him and the Four Arts Heavenly Pavilion would come to an end!
At this moment, Tan Yun spoke again, “However, I want as many Alchemical Furnaces as you have for sale at the Treasure Immortal Pavilion.”
“Uh… Alchemical Furnaces?” Miao Jincheng was taken aback. “Boss Tan, there aren’t many people in the outer city who can refine pills; having the Alchemical Furnaces would be useless!”
“Stop wasting my time!” Tan Yun said carelessly, “Don’t you have two branches of the Treasure Immortal Pavilion in the market?”
“First, give me the Immortal Stones, and then I’ll go with you to collect the Alchemical Furnaces from the two branches.”
Miao Jincheng dared not defy Tan Yun’s words.
Then, Tan Yun sat down on the jade chair, and Miao Jincheng ordered Zhang Honghua to fetch the Immortal Stones from the main store and the other two branches for Tan Yun.
An hour later, Zhang Honghua respectfully handed two Immortal Rings to Tan Yun.
Tan Yun released his immortal sense and immersed it into the Immortal Rings. After counting, the first ring contained three million Mid-Grade Celestial Stones.
The second ring contained two million Mid-Grade Celestial Stones.
As Tan Yun satisfactorily accepted the Immortal Stones, Miao Jincheng, who valued wealth highly, felt a pang of pain!
Next, at Tan Yun’s request, Miao Jincheng brought him and Chu Xiaosa to the third floor of the Treasure Immortal Pavilion. After counting, they found a total of one hundred top-grade Immortal Artifact Alchemical Furnaces and three hundred high-grade Immortal Artifact Alchemical Furnaces on the third floor!
In addition, there were one thousand Mid-Grade and one thousand Low-Grade Immortal Artifact Alchemical Furnaces!
In the next hour, Tan Yun followed Miao Jincheng and emptied the Alchemical Furnaces from the other two branches of the Treasure Immortal Pavilion!
Low, Mid, High, and Top-Grade Immortal Artifact Alchemical Furnaces, a total of five thousand!
Afterward, Tan Yun slapped Miao Jincheng’s face and chuckled, “From now on, stay away from me. If you dare to act wild in front of me again, I’ll make you die!”
“Did you hear me clearly?”
Miao Jincheng nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, “Yes, I heard clearly.”
Tan Yun smiled and patted Miao Jincheng on the shoulder, whispering, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, the fifty useless people you sent have already been dealt with by me.”
Then, Tan Yun swaggered away with Chu Xiaosa.
In a pavilion on the twelfth floor of the Treasure Immortal Pavilion, Miao Jincheng recalled being extorted for five million Mid-Grade Celestial Stones, the valuable five thousand Alchemical Furnaces, and the fact that Tan Yun slapped him. He was so furious that his old body trembled violently!
“I’m so angry… so angry!” Miao Jincheng bellowed, “When have I, Miao Jincheng, ever suffered such humiliation?!”
