Chapter 2226: Lightning Grounds! (1/2)
Even though the manager of the Revered Fragrance Branch had seen pretty much everything there was to see in life, his breathing sped up when Huang Xiaolong brought out two billion holy bills. His heart pounded in his chest like he was floating on cloud nine.
In his several thousand years of service, he had seen a huge amount of wealthy customers. This was the first time he had ever seen anyone taking out more than a billion holy bills in a single transaction!
Right now, the young man before him had taken out two billion holy bills without batting an eyelid!
Even the various experts in the hall could only stare at Huang Xiaolong in shock.
In the Holy World, strength was everything. Despite that, the sheer amount of wealth Huang Xiaolong took out was enough to scare the wits out of them!
It was like the Revered Fragrance Trading Company! Even though they had no Venerable Realm experts of their own, even members of the three supreme sects had to pay attention to the rules when purchasing pills from them!
What did the Revered Fragrance Trading Company rely on? That’s right! It was money! They were able to force strong experts to follow the rules because of the terrifying amount of wealth they held!
As long as one had enough money, a Venerable wasn’t needed to deter anyone who wanted to wreck the rules they had set in place!
Of course, that wasn’t to say that the Revered Fragrance Trading Company had no one to back them up. With the branches they had around the Falling Jade Dynasty, their interests had long since been tied to the several thousand kingdoms under the dynasty! The strength they could gather wasn’t lacking in the slightest!
Under the personal escort of the branch manager, Huang Xiaolong left the trading company.
As soon as he arrived back in his courtyard, Huang Xiaolong didn’t care about anything else as he quickly swallowed several pills before entering seclusion.
When Huang Xiaolong entered seclusion, Song Shaokang of the Beast Emperor Sect received a report from his subordinates. “What?! That brat spent two billion to buy divine pills after I left?! Two billion holy bills?!”
Even the elders who were responsible for protecting him couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
That was two billion holy bills they were talking about!
Even someone like Song Shaokang couldn’t take out that kind of money!
“Young Lord, it’s true!” The subordinate continued to report everything to Song Shaokang. He even named out every single pill Huang Xiaolong bought from the Revered Fragrance Trading Company!
The expressions of Song Shaokang and the two elders quickly contorted.
“He bought everything related to recovery.” A skinny-faced elder spoke. “It seems like he’s plagued with some sort of hidden injury. Moreover, with the amount of pills he bought, it doesn’t look like his injury is easy to heal…”
The other elder nodded. “I noticed his sunken appearance, and I can deduce that he has suffered from some sort of hidden injury after taking on some lightning attributed qi. As a Ninth Order Sovereign, he should be comparable to a Seventh Order Sovereign with his injuries. If Young Lord wants to take care of him we can do so immediately!”
The two of them were peak late-Tenth Order Sovereigns. Taking care of an injured Ninth Order Sovereign was a walk in the park!
A light flashed through Song Shaokang’s eyes. “Only the young lords of the Big Dipper Sword Sect, Nine Heavens Gate, and Incineration Valley would be able to take out so much money. Since he’s not from either one, he should be someone outside the Falling Jade Dynasty… Could he be the young lord of the supreme sects of some other dynasty?”
The skinny-faced elder shook his head. “Even if he is the young master of a supreme sect, taking out two billion is no easy feat! Moreover, there is no need for him to head all the way over to the Falling Jade Dynasty to buy recovery pills!”
“If he’s not someone from the supreme sects, who else can he be?” Another elder asked in confusion.
“Let’s dig out his identity before doing anything else.” Song Shaokang thought about it for a second, and he continued, “This time, we’re here for the Lightning Dragon Divine Fruit. We’ll deal with this brat later. Get someone to keep tabs on him in case he escapes from the Falling Jade Dynasty!”
Song Shaokang and the others rushed over to the Soaring Lightning Kingdom as they received news that a massive Lightning Dragon Divine Tree had appeared in the depths of the lightning grounds located deep in the kingdom! The fruits were ripe and they were the main objective of Song Shaokang’s trip!
