Chapter 215: 153 Chapter 215: 153 “Let’s have an auction for what’s in the wooden box,” Su Ping said.
“Just sell the contents.”
Su Ping said this and added:
“They are all antique art pieces that you and I have no use for.”
“Use the money from the sale to order military weapons.”
“The rockets you provided last time were very effective. After a volley, they slightly weakened the opponent.”
After Su Ping had finished speaking,
President Huang and the others were shocked.
They knew that Rat Taoist had enemies.
But were those enemies… that strong?
They remembered providing over a hundred bunker buster type rockets last time.
A simultaneous salvo from these rocket launchers could flatten a small hill, couldn’t it?
But in the mouth of Rat Taoist, they merely ‘weakened’ the opponent? And only ‘slightly’?
Could a cultivator’s physical body or defensive spells really be that robust?
And Rat Taoist could defeat such formidable foes… It seems that the Bone Burying Ground isn’t as lowbrow as it seems?
Of course, it could also be that the Cultivation World’s high standards are simply too high.
Even the lowbrow, third-rate Bone Burying Ground line is still terrifyingly strong in the eyes of ordinary people!
President Huang and the others didn’t get to join in the feast this time.
After all, Su Ping was eating Big Bluefish.
Every bite of fish was worth Fishing Coins!
So, they did not bother to leave a bite for these Registered Disciples.
However, it seems that President Huang and his group wouldn’t mind this.
In the metal box, there were six mid-grade Qi Blood Pills and six mid-grade Nourishing Yuan Pills, refined by Zhou Xuan.
With these pills, highly sought after by martial artists in the Immortal Cultivation World,
it wasn’t a big problem for President Huang’s group of six to greatly advance in their Martial Path Divine Skill.
Whether they could become a Grandmaster similar to the First Layer of Qi Cultivation would depend on their talent and insight.
After President Huang and his group went back, they divided up the pills and then brought out one large wooden box after another.
They took a deep breath and, working together, opened one of them.
Then they understood why these antiques could be sold.
After looking at the album of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures last time, President Huang and the others had filled in their knowledge gaps.
Lu Dahu, who already had a foundation in this field, wasn’t considered a master, but he wouldn’t be fooled by anything too recent or from yesterday.
Looking at these antiques, including porcelains and paintings, he marvelled their splendidness,
and he understood why their boss wanted them to make such a fuss over the auction.
All these items were treasures. Even if he wasn’t a master, he could tell that these antiques could be classified as national treasures!
After all, the real value of a national treasure doesn’t depend much on age.
What’s considered a national treasure today would often have been a treasure or a family heirloom in ancient times.
Stuff used by commoners, even after a thousand years, would most likely still not be valuable.
But these were not the main points.
The important part was that the artistic style and culture represented by these antiques…
Meaning conveyed by the paintings and the emergence of the Snake Woman was actually the same!
That is, beyond their recognized world, it seemed there really was another unknown world with a culture that had similarly been passed down.
President Huang thought that these artifacts from other civilizations, even if openly admitted to have no transcendental value, would still cause different powers to vie for them desperately, wouldn’t they?
President Huang scanned the crowd and said in a deep voice:
“I feel like we’re becoming more and more like fireflies in the night.”
“Brothers, take the pills when we get back and properly assimilate their power.
“Only with enough strength can we protect ourselves!”
Lu Dahu also nodded his agreement.
He emphasized that the world was vast, and there was never a shortage of unreasonable madmen.
As they grew bigger and stronger, they also had to prevent these madmen from targeting them!
“You didn’t manage to buy it?”
“Even using the name of the Kamo Clan was useless?”
“This is preposterous!”
In Sakura City, an elder of the Kamo Family cursed angrily.
Ever since Kamo Junichiro returned with dominance, the members of the Kamo Clan had been riding on his coattails.
This elder, in particular, had managed to recover many long-lost heirlooms in just a few days.
The heirlooms included but were not limited to shares in big companies, vast tracts of land, deeds for forests, and gold antiques.
This made him quite conceited, and upon learning about the Health Care Tea Bags, he quickly sent people to try to secure the rights to distribute them in the Sakura Country.
Of course, he was ruthlessly rejected.
In the eyes of President Huang and the others, that was nothing!
This Kamo elder could do nothing but rage impotently.
He didn’t even dare to report the situation to his nephew Kamo Junichiro.
Truth be told, as this man who self-proclaimed to have obtained the Onmyoji inheritance and was recognized by the Fox-faced Witch, disappeared and then returned,
despite the Kamo Clan outwardly boasting about Kamo Junichiro’s honor,
they were growing more and more afraid of this transcendent family member.
They always felt that the Cultivation Technique of their family Onmyoji was getting stranger.
While Onmyoji scriptures indeed contain bizarre methods,
actually experiencing them firsthand still instinctively made their skins crawl with fear!
“His Highness has left seclusion!”
“He’s looking for the elders to call a meeting!”
Suddenly, the elder’s grandson ran in, delivering news that made the elder’s complexion change slightly.
The elder quickly drank some water to calm his nerves and then headed for the hall.
Before even nearing the hall, the elder felt a bone-chilling coldness rushing towards him,
which made his spine shiver as if his chronic leg condition was acting up again.
Gritting his teeth against the discomfort, he pushed open the door.
There, he saw Kamo Junichiro’s pale face and his deep, dark eyes.
The elder instinctively stepped back out of fear, then realized his misstep and swiftly lowered his head to take his place.
