Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 80: Returning Fully Loaded! [Third Update!]

The jade box was originally sealed tightly, but this strange object seemed to be like a ghost that could seep in without any openings; it simply drifted and penetrated inside without any obstruction…

Ou Duxiao did not notice at all. His heart was filled with a sense of achievement, and indeed, the price that Chu Yang quoted was quite fair. He laughed heartily, “Since Brother Chu wants it, let’s set the price at two and a half million!” He thought to himself, after all, you’re just warming up your hands; these things will soon be back with us.

Chu Yang chuckled, personally took down the jade box, and placed it at the door. He said, “Brother Ou, please put everything I want at the entrance. Later, just prepare a large package for me to carry it out. That would be convenient.”

Ou Duxiao smiled and replied, “What’s the problem? It shall be exactly as Brother Chu wishes! However, are you not taking this jade box? If it’s missing... it might be difficult to preserve.”

“I have my ways.” Chu Yang sighed, “If I include the value of this jade box, I wouldn’t be able to buy much anyway.”

Ou Duxiao chuckled.

The two continued forward, opening the eighth jade box...

What frustrated Ou Duxiao was that while Chu Yang examined each jade box, he chose not to take any of them; many divine medicines that seemed priceless in Ou Duxiao's eyes were merely glanced at by Chu Yang, who then moved on without hesitation.

After looking through about ten more jade boxes, Chu Yang finally took a liking to a Dreamheart Herb and paid five million taels of silver. Moving on, after inspecting another five or six jade boxes, he selected a Snow Lotus Core, which cost a hefty amount of twenty million…

Slowly, having finished examining the one hundred and fifty jade boxes on this side, Chu Yang had only chosen six. This was vastly different from Ou Duxiao's expectations!

But he was not anxious; after all, no matter how many you choose, you’ll just grab everything back later…

When they reached the other side, Chu Yang remained incredibly picky, selecting only two out of the half he examined!

By now, half a day had already passed.

Fortunately, Chu Yang was quite fast; otherwise, they wouldn’t finish in a day…

Finally, after looking through three hundred jade boxes, Ou Duxiao was left speechless: amidst such a treasure trove, Chu Yang had spent less than one billion! The number of selected jade boxes was precisely ten.

Yet, Chu Yang appeared somewhat disappointed, saying, “Brother Ou... there’s something I don't know if I should mention.”

Ou Duxiao hurriedly replied, “Brother Chu, feel free to say whatever you wish.”

“The Ou Clan’s thousands of years of heritage... indeed opened my eyes. However... hehehe... although there are many varieties, there seem to be very few truly good items. It seems that your esteemed clan should focus more on quality rather than accumulating quantity in the future…”

He shook his head and sighed, “Just like me, when I first saw such a large treasure vault, I thought I could return fully loaded, but after seeing everything, I was rather disappointed... this is quite different from the reputation of your clan's millennia of heritage…”

Ou Duxiao was nearly infuriated, thinking that there were so many rare and precious treasures inside, and yet you don’t want any! Many medicines were almost on par with the nine great elixirs, but you fail to see their value, and now you dare to criticize our Ou Clan’s heritage?

He forced a smile and said, “Yes, yes, Brother Chu is right.” He thought to himself that the family’s decision to get rid of this guy was truly a gratifying act; damn it, being with him is simply infuriating…

“Well, since that’s the case, let’s go check over there.” Chu Yang kindly suggested, “Brother Ou, have someone move these ten medicinal materials out and pack them up. There’s no need to worry about any loss of medicinal potency; it’s just perfect.”
