Chapter 289 – Murong Wanjian Is Very Strong (1/2)

The Great Tang’s Emperor bestowed a marriage and the entire empire celebrated.

The engagement ceremony was very simple.

They called a bunch of nobles and aristocrats, a bunch of high-level Sect members, celebrities from all walks of life, and those experts that rarely showed their faces for a huge meal.

“Southern King, this is my son-in-law Luo Tian. You will have to take care of him in the future.”

“Progressive King, this is my son-in-law Luo Tian. Doesn’t your family have some high-grade equipment? On the day of their marriage, there’s no need to bring anything but two carriages of that high-grade equipment.”

“Hey you, your family has a lot of medicinal pills right?”

“This is my son-in-law Luo Tian.”

“Did you know that my son-in-law has a big wife? She is actually the Young Phoenix.”

“Come, come, come! Let’s drink this together! You’ve drunk this wine now so you know what to do for the marriage gift, right? I heard your family has a xuan stone mine, you understand…”

Tang Zhanlong was just like a bandit.

What kind of engagement ceremony was this?! This was practically robbery!

And he was using Luo Tian’s name to do it. This…

Luo Tian was suffering from bitterness but didn’t dare to say anything. No matter what, Tang Zhanlong was now considered his father-in-law so was it even appropriate for him to say something? Can he even say anything? An expert at the peak of the Profound Venerate realm – do you dare to chastise him?

“Hey kid…”

“These people are all big wigs. Don’t look at them acting all meek because their families are actually quite something. They all have some super expert supporting in the background and their families have managed to survive for thousands of years. If you want anything in the future, don’t hesitate to directly ask them for it. There’s no need to be polite to them; do you understand what I’m getting at?” advised Tang Zhanlong.

Luo Tian could only hide his bitterness.

Thinking of the auction in the near future and how he didn’t have anything good to auction off, Luo Tian unconsciously blurted out: “Your Majesty, I heard the national treasury has some thousand year old xuan metals and rare spiritual herbs. I wonder if…”

“Shit!”

“You actually dare to target your own father-in-law?” Tang Zhanlong then angrily continued: “Those are the things I’ve personally collected over all these years. Why don’t you go ask them for things instead of asking me?!”

Shit!

Them?!

Even if they are wealthy and have a lot of good stuff, how can they compare to the national treasury?

Tang Zhanlong was someone with a lot of riches that could ooze oil. Who am I going to target if I don’t target you? And it’s not immoral to take some stuff from one’s own father-in-law, right?

Luo Tian had a cheap and despicable smile as he said: “When they send over the marriage gifts, most of them will belong to you and I won’t take much. I only wish to concoct some medicinal pills and forge some equipment, then bring it to the auction house to gain some pocket money. Of course, you can just directly give me spending money if you want to. I’m sure you know that this upcoming auction, there’s a mature demon fox clan woman. She’s…”

“Go to the national treasury tonight.”

“Just let them know I allowed it and they will let you enter. You can take whatever thousand year old xuan metals or ten thousand year old herbs, just do what you like. As for giving you money for a demon fox clan woman, you can quit dreaming about that. Even I want a demon fox clan woman for myself…” said Tang Zhanlong.

The starting bid for a demon fox clan woman was around 50 million gold.

When the auction begins, the conservative estimate she would reach was 200 million.

F*ck!

How much gold was 200 million?!

Tang Zhanlong could only let Luo Tian enter the national treasury to get some of those thousand year old xuan metals that nobody has touched for the last century. As for those hundred to a thousand year old spiritual herbs, the national treasury had mountains of them. If they weren’t going to be used soon, it would most likely start to mold.

The Great Tang Dynasty had been established for ten thousand years.

Their foundation was strong to a complete mess. Just the yearly offerings from the cities and provinces would amass a small mountain!

When it came to gold, Tang Zhanlong didn’t place too much importance on them.

Of course…

He didn’t know about the speed of Luo Tian’s pill concoction and forging equipment.

Otherwise, he would definitely choose to give Luo Tian a few hundred million gold to spend. There would be no way he would allow Luo Tian to enter the national treasury even if he was beaten to death.

Luo Tian was secretly rejoicing inside as he said: “Not tonight; tonight I have some things to take care of. Tomorrow I will go to the national treasury and look around for a bit. Father-in-law, is there anything you want?”
