  “Master, should we go look in another city?” Liu Yun inquired.

  Feng Yang shook his head, “It’s probably the same situation in neighboring cities.”

  Huwang Xiao made an exaggerated action of slapping his own forehead, and thought to Feng Yang, “Grasp, we can go directly to the property market.”

  “The property market?” Feng Yang and his 3 disciples were baffled. A thought flashed in their thoughts, can it be that Huwang Xiao wanted to…?

  That ’s right, Huwang Xiao planned to buy a residence.

  Although a residence in Aeon City would cost an arm and a leg twice over, what Huwang Xiao didn't lack most of all was money.

  Moreover, the tournament period was over two years, Huwang Xiao couldn't have his Expert and his senior apprentice-brothers and sister wander in the streets as they waited for him.

  After asking for the direction of Aeon City’s property market, Huwang Xiao, Feng Yang, and the others headed there.

  The Aeon City’s property market was no doubt big, taking an entire spacious street, with near to a thousand shops lined up on the left and right. Huwang Xiao picked one that seemed to be the biggest shop and inserted with others.

  When their group stepped into the shop lobby, a staff member approached them with an amiable smile, politely inquiring, “May I ask what these several guests are looking to buy? Could it be furniture or decorative items?”

  A number of the bigger property traders not only sold residences, restaurants, and inns, in addition they offered various expensive high-quality furniture and decorative items. For a mammoth-sized city like Aeon City, the prices of residential properties were steep, hence, hardly ever anyone inquired about it. Which was why the employee normally presumed that Huwang Xiao’s group was here to purchase furniture or ornamental items.

  Huwang Xiao went straight to the point, “We want to buy a home. It might be best if it was located at the center of Aeon City.”

  The shop staff looked dazedly at Huwang Xiao. Buying a residence, moreover, situated in the Aeon City’s middle?

  Huwang Xiao’s words made the Eternal Galaxy’s disciples in the lobby turn to check out him.

  A muscular green-robed disciple snickered in ridicule, “Kiddo, you came here from some other galaxy for the tournament, right? Are you sure you can afford to buy a home located at the guts of our Aeon City?” He then turned to his attendant at the trunk, “Xiaotong, enlighten this person how much a residence costs inside our Aeon City.”

  That attendant respectfully complied, then lifted his chin in Huwang Xiao’s path as he spoke, “You listen carefully! In our Aeon City, even the worst residence in the most remote location costs more than 100 billion; as for residences located at the city center, the cheapest is around 800 billion, the good ones are above 1 trillion!”

  Listening to the attendant stating that it required at least 800 billion to buy a residence located at the center of Aeon City, and the best ones cost above 1 trillion, even Feng Yang as the Black Warrior Institute Principal was astonished.

  So were Liu Yun, Chen Yang, and Qi Wen.

  Huwang Xiao did not pay attention to the attendant, speaking right to the shop worker, “Which one is the best home at the guts of Aeon City?”

  The surrounding Eternal Galaxy’s disciples were stunned.

  The green-robed son snorted with annoyance. To him, Huwang Xiao’s shade sounded as though the young man not only wanted to buy a home located at the center of the Aeon City, he even wished to buy the best one!

  He had seen a lot of people pretending to be rich, but this is still his first seeing one who pretended to be high so confidently.

  Ch.843

  The employee had a blank manifestation on his face as he viewed Huwang Xiao without moving, secretly thinking, ‘Did this person come here for amusement? A disciple who arrived here register for the competition wants to purchase a residence at the guts of our Aeon City, and moreover, the best one?!’

  Just like what that attendant said, their Aeon City’s good residences had prices reaching one trillion and above. Forget outsiders from other galaxies, even some Grand Elders of the Eternal Galaxy’s local very forces couldn't afford to own a home at the town center.

  Furthermore, looking at Huwang Xiao’s cultivation realm, he was only perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm cultivator.

  “Kiddo, you deliberately came here to amuse yourself, right? Do you know the severe consequences of making fun of the Grand Serenity Commerce? This place is the Eternal Galaxy, not really a rural place like the one you come from.” The muscular green-robed son snickered.

  Right at the moment, the shop’s doors opened as a group of individuals walked in.

  Hearing some noise behind him, Huwang Xiao changed his mind slightly to look. This group was non-e other than the Saint Lord Galaxy’s Yelu Family.

  Yelu Tianhao walked in and his eye coincidentally met Huwang Xiao’s. After a brief surprise, hatred increased to his heart as he pointed at Huwang Xiao and said to a man with an imposing bearing beside him, “Big brother, that punk is Huwang Xiao!”

  Yelu Tianfeng and all the Yelu Family disciples’ gazes fell on Huwang Xiao.

  A Yelu Family disciple walked out from the group.

  “Huwang Xiao, heh, what a coincidence, who have thought we would see you here.” Killing intention flickered in Yelu Haotian’s eyes, wanting to make a sneak attack.

  Yelu Tianfeng raised a hand, stopping Yelu Tianhao, indifference in his build, “There's no hurry, let this kid live a few more days. Making a move at the Overflowing Lightning World when the tournament begins still isn't too late.

  Although their Yelu Family was also the hegemon of a galaxy, these were in the Aeon City, in someone else’s territory.

  Yelu Tianhao unwillingly stopped, glaring daggers at Huwang Xiao.

  Yelu Tianfeng gave Huwang Xiao an once-over gaze, shaking his head, “Huwang Xiao, I understand your skill isn't bad, but it's a pity. After you get to the Overflowing Lightning World, you won’t be coming back.”

  Huwang Xiao was similarly indifferent, “Is that so? That is also what I wanted to say for you.”

  All of the Yelu Family disciples were angered by Huwang Xiao’s words.

  Feng Yang’s aura immediately locked onto Yelu Tianfeng and everything the Yelu Family disciples, preventing them from suddenly attacking.

  Yelu Tianfeng casually waved his hand at the Yelu Family disciples, indicating them to stand down, unruffled as he thought to Huwang Xiao, “If your cultivation reached Third Order Highgod Realm, you would barely have the certification to be my challenger. However, the current you is so vulnerable that I’m not interested in any way.” Then he considered the shop worker, asking, “He’s also here to buy a residence?”

  That staff member dared not disrespect Yelu Tianfeng as he was overwhelmed by his aura, quickly answering, “Yes.”

  Yelu Tianfeng said, “Which residence does he wants? I’ll take it.” He threw a spatial band at the staff, proudly saying, “Here's 500 billion.”

  The employee and the Eternal Galaxy disciples in the hall looked at the spatial ring with astonishment. Because the spatial ring’s restrictions were opened, everyone could start to see the mountains of Wangu cash inside.

  However, after a short astonishment, the employee said to Yelu Tianfeng with a bitter face, “This… what he wanted is the best home in our Aeon City’s center. Our Commerce’s best residence costs 2.3 trillion, therefore…”

  Therefore, 500 billion was far from enough.

  However the employee didn't finish his sentence, everyone present understood.

  “What, 2.3 trillion?!” Yelu Tianhao and the group of Yelu Family disciples were surprised.

  Even Yelu Tianfeng’s calm and indifferent expression cracked.

  Huwang Xiao snorted with disdain, then waved his hand in the air. Numerous top quality spirit rocks rained to the floor, eating up space in the lobby.

  Looking at the numerous top divine g
rade spirit stones piled up just like a mountain, the Yelu Family’s group and Eternal Galaxy’s disciples were stunned agape.

  Huwang Xiao pointed a finger at the pile of top divine quality spirit stones, his words directed at the staff member, “These here are forty thousand top divine grade spirit rocks, give me personally the keys to the best home in Aeon City. The rest, use it to include some furniture and decorations to the residence. Send it over later.”

  Forty thousand top divine grade soul rocks were about 3.2 trillion. Following the deducting the residence’s cost, there continued to be a balance of around 900 billion.

  The employee looked like he lost his soul, a buzzing noise sounded increasingly louder in his ears.

  The muscular green-robed young man who mocked Huwang Xiao earlier stood stupefied for a long time.

  Soon, the supervisor was alerted and came working out, courteously handing over the key to their best city middle home to Huwang Xiao, respectfully mailing him to the entry while reassuring Huwang Xiao that the furniture and adornments would be sent over at the fastest quickness.

  Viewing the supervisor courteously walk Huwang Xiao out with a beaming smile on his face, all the Yely Family disciples acquired an ugly expression on the faces. Yelu Tianfeng’s gaze was chilly and sullen.

  This face slap was loud and painful!

  After Huwang Xiao’s group left, the supervisor returned, warmly talking with Yelu Tianfeng, “This brother, we also have other residences away from the city center which are also very good. If this brother is interested to buy, our shop can free three sets of furniture made from Pear Blossom Sacred Wood.” The supervisor warmly introduced other residences to Yelu Tianfeng.

  Only then did Yelu Tianfeng’s sullenness lessen.

  In the final end, Yelu Tianfeng also bought a residence, however, the residence was located at the advantage of a remote part of Aeon City. Most of all, that residence’s land area and building were significantly worse than Huwang Xiao’s; the price was a little over 400 billion.

  The commerce supervisor also courteously walked Yelu Tianfeng’s group to the entrance.

  You can hardly sell a home in Aeon City in 100 years, but today their store sold two residences in a single day. The supervisor was naturally in an excellent mood, blossoming such as a flower.

  As Yelu Tianfeng led Yelu Tianhao and the rest of the Yelu Family disciples from the shop, his low, icy tone of voice sounded, “Through the competition, if any of you come across Huwang Xiao in the Overflowing Lightning World, don’t let him die so easily. First crush every bone in his body one by one!”

  All the Yelu Family disciples were flustered by the coldness in Yelu Tianfeng’s voice, quickly complying along with his order.

  In another location, led by an employee member from the shop, Huwang Xiao’s group arrived at the residence that they had just bought.

  It had been a residence named the Surging Waves Mansion.

  On the way, the employee guiding them had introduced the Surging Waves Mansion’s environment at length.

  This mansion was built on a two thousand square meter land. On this land that cost a bucket of gold for an inch of space, two 1000 square meters of land was a luxury.

  The mansion was divided into six courtyards, with more than twenty sleeping rooms. There was also an alchemy room, study, a front hall, an inner hall, a garden, a loft, as well as a little square for sparring.

  Huwang Xiao took out the mansion’s key, deactivating the mansion’s defensive formations. After everyone got into, a rich religious energy blew past their encounters and the fragrant scent of medicinal natural herbs filled them with a refreshing feeling.

  Based on the guide, the mansion had a small level energy gathering array, whereas the garden at the back was planted with spiritual flowers and trees above one-hundred-thousand-years-old.

  Even the railings at certain parts of the corridors were made with seldom seen materials.

  Feng Yang, Liu Yun, Chen Yang, and Qi Wen were gasping with amazement taking a look at the layout and decoration of the mansion. Just the spiritual flowers, spiritual trees, and the spiritual wood used and planted across the mansion cost a sky-high price. The 2.3 trillion spent was really worth it.

  Before long, the store had sent a sizable batch of furniture over and positioned it accordingly throughout the courtyards before respectfully taking their leave.

  Ch.844

  Looking at the Nine Yang Jade bed placed in every room, Liu Yun let out a heartfelt sigh, “Having money is really good.”

  Everyone chuckled at his words.

  Following that, the few of them went to pick out a courtyard they liked. With the problem of accommodation settled, Huwang Xiao could cultivate at ease, waiting for the day of the tournament.

  Huwang Xiao summoned the Heavenly Mountain and flew into its space to cultivate inside the Heavenly God’s cultivation dwelling. He consumed an Amethyst Water Droplet Divine Pill and absorbed star force from the three galaxies, continuously tempering his physical body.

  Over thirty days passed by in a blink.

  During this time, Huwang Xiao stayed inside his own courtyard to cultivate and did not take even half a step out. He also lost count of how many Amethyst Water Droplet Divine Pills he had swallowed. A little over a month in cultivation had improved his strength a little.

  On this day, Liu Yun and Qi Wen came to Huwang Xiao’s courtyard.

  “Junior Apprentice-brother, the tournament will begin in three days, how about going out with us to relax a little? I’ve heard the Eternal Commerce has published a booklet that lists the names and information about disciples of Third Order Highgod Realm and above taking part in the tournament.” Liu Yuin shared, “These are people with chances of entering the top one thousand.”

  A list of names of Third Order Highgod Realm and above? Huwang Xiao’s interest was stoked, nodding his head in agreement, “Alright.”

  Even though he was confident in his own strength, having some understanding of these potential opponents before the tournament was not necessarily a bad thing.

  After all, with only three days left until the tournament, a change of scenery was welcomed; and the Aeon City was Eternal Galaxy’s biggest and most prosperous city, he should have a look around after coming here.

  Having decided, the three of them, Huwang Xiao, Liu Yun, and Qi Wen stepped out of the Surging Waves Mansion, heading to the Eternal Commerce.

  Since the Surging Waves Mansion was located at the Aeon City’s center, it was close to the Eternal Commerce building. The three of them soon reached their destination.

  When they reached the Eternal Commerce, there was already a large crowd consisting of disciples from various galaxies. Judging from their faces, it seems they too had come to purchase the booklet and perhaps some information.

  Huwang Xiao, Liu Yun, and Qi Wen made their way inside, into the lobby.

  They walked toward an empty counter and Huwang Xiao stated his intention. The outrageous thing was that this booklet that listed the name and other details about the participants of Third Order Highgod Realm and above cost twenty million Wangu coins!

  Huwang Xiao couldn’t help but admire the audacity of this Wangu Clan for asking such a price. A thin booklet of few pages actually cost twenty million Wangu Coins.

  Ten people buying meant two hundred million, one hundred people buying would bring them two billion, one thousand people was a whopping twenty billion.

  The number of disciples coming to participate in the tournament was at least a hundred million, if not more. If all of them bought a copy of this booklet, then the Wangu Clan’s profit just from compiling a few thin sheets of paper world exceed the Black Warrior Institute’s wealth accumulated through thousands of millennia.

  Huwang Xiao paid twenty million Wangu coins for a booklet and put it away into his Asura Ring. He would take a look at it later.

  “Does this young master want to buy an armor or weapon?” A Wangu Clan female disciple walked up to H
uwang Xiao with a bright smile on her face, inquiring, “Our Eternal Commerce has all kinds of armor and weapons, having a powerful armor and weapon can assist young master in gaining a good result in the tournament.”

  Huwang Xiao pondered slightly. For armor and weapon, he had the Glory of the Water God Armor and the Glory of the Water God Halberd, the Heavenly God Mountain, and his Mulberry Sword that Feng Yang gave him, therefore he didn't need anything else, but he could stock up on some healing pills. Even though he did have a large amount of Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellets inside the Asura Ring, this kind of thing adhered to the saying ‘the more the better’.

  Hence, Huwang Xiao asked the Wangu Clan female disciple, “Does your Eternal Commerce have healing pills? Such as the Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellets?”

  The female disciple softly giggled, “Our Eternal Commerce does have Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellets, we also have healing pills that are even better than that. Three guests, please follow me.” She led Huwang Xiao, Liu Yun, and Qi Wen to a side hall, the Medicinal Pellet Hall.

  Huwang Xiao’s eyes lit up, there were healing pellets that were better than the Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellet? Could it be the Undying God Pill?

  If it was the Undying God Pill, then its healing efficiency was definitely better than the Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellet. But, such a legendary pill, the ingredients for refining the Undying God Pill were extremely hard to find. Furthermore, the alchemy refining method had long been lost in the four galaxies. Could it be, the Wangu Clan had the refining method?

  Shortly, the three of them reached the Medicinal Pellet Hall. Although this hall was smaller than the lobby out front, it wasn’t exactly small. The rows and rows of bottles quietly sitting on arranged cupboards against the four walls bedazzled their eyes.

  There were at least several thousand kinds of medicinal pellets inside the hall, and most of them were sacred grade divine pellets, while some were pellets that had been lost in the four galaxies.
