“Division Head Xia, how much resources do we have?” Lu Sulan asked a cold-looking woman.
Xia Xinyue took out a piece of document from her storage ring and placed it on the table for everyone to see. “Our Heavenly Sword Tower has accumulated four billion True Crystals, eight hundred million Blood Stones, two hundred and fifty God Stones,…”
“… most of our wealth comes from the sales of the Pill Division as well as spoils of war from all the sects and major powers we’ve fought. Is it enough Division Head Lu?” Xia Xinyue asked Lu Sulan with a smile.
Xia Xinyue and Lu Sulan both came from the Frozen Cloud Sect so they were quite familiar with each other. However, it was better to maintain a professional attitude during meetings, so despite being close as sisters, they refer to each other by their positions.
Lu Sulan and the other Division Heads were shocked when they heard her words. They haven’t had that much wealth before! The only one who was able to remain calm was Qi Hongtian, the Division Head of the Pill Division.
“That’s more than enough, Division Head Xia! I thought that we would need to borrow money from the Bloodfallen Family, but it seems like I’ve underestimated the wealth we have accumulated.” Lu Sulan smiled at Xia Xinyue. From the looks of it, she no longer needs to visit the Bloodfallen Family…
Xia Xinyue took back the document and kept it inside her space ring as she asked. “How much do you need for this auction?”
Lu Sulan furrowed her eyebrows as she calculated in her mind. She wasn’t certain of the exact value of the Poison Valley’s territory. “To tell you the truth, I’m also unsure how much that piece of land is, but to be safe, I’ll bring two billion True Crystals and five hundred million Blood Stones with me.”
“Isn’t that too much, Senior Sister?” Can Ye unconsciously blurted out.
Lu Sulan glanced at him and replied in a calm voice. “I know, but we have to make sure that we would get that piece of land. I will return the rest of the money after the auction.” She then turned towards Xia Xinyue and said.
“Please get the resources Division Head Xia. We will depart right away after we get everything prepared. Also, please bring Sister Hestia here. She’s been guarding the master’s store in Beltran City all this time. Just get an Elder to replace her. No one would be foolish enough to cause trouble there anyway.”
Xia Xinyue nodded her head in understanding. “No problem. I’ll bring her here.” She then went to the Teleportation Array Formation.
“Alright. Everyone, you can go back to your posts. Can Ye, you stay.” Lu Sulan adjourned the meeting and everyone soon left the second floor. Only Can Ye and Lu Sulan remained there.
“Senior Sister, how are the disciples doing? I haven’t seen some of them after they left to join the war.” Can Ye asked as he looked at his senior sister. Can Ye was the Division Head of the Mission Hall and he was quite occupied with his job, so he wasn’t able to join the war.
“No need to worry about them. None of them died and only a few were severely injured, but they’re fine now. By the way, how’s your cultivation going?” Lu Sulan glanced at her junior brother with a probing look. This guy was very diligent with his cultivation, but she was unsure of how strong he had become.
Can Ye released his aura as he replied with a smug look on his face. “As you can see, your Junior Brother is now a peak stage Origin God Realm! What do you think, Senior Sister? Not bad, right!”
Lu Sulan’s face twitched when she sensed his aura. This guy had actually caught up to her! Her cultivation speed was much slower than the others because of her cultivation technique and unique physique. However, although her cultivation level was just similar to Can Ye, she knew that she could defeat him in just a few moves!
Thinking about this, Lu Sulan felt a bit better.
“Feeling smug, are you? How about a spar with me then?” Lu Sulan let out a cold smile as she glared at Can Ye.
“No way! Hahaha! I mean, I still haven’t stabilized my cultivation yet since I just recently broke through. Let’s not talk about this…” Can Ye sweated bullets. He ignored Lu Sulan’s gaze and closed his eyes as if he was in a meditative state.
Lu Sulan laughed in her heart when she saw him acting like this.
About an hour later, Xia Xinyue came back with a red-haired beauty following behind her.
“Sister Hestia!”
“Elder Hestia!”
Lu Sulan and Can Ye greeted the woman behind Xia Xinyue. It has been a while since they’ve last seen each other. Hestia had been guarding Jiu Shen’s store in Beltran City all this while and she rarely comes to visit the Heavenly Sword Tower.
Hestia smiled at the two. “Hello, you two. Why did you call me here? Did the master call me?” She asked.
Lu Sulan shook her head. “No. The master didn’t say anything. You’ve been guarding master’s store all this while, Sister Hestia. I want to bring you to an auction for a change of pace. Don’t worry about the store. I already asked Division Head Xia to replace your position.”
Hestia was a bit disappointed when she heard the answer, but she didn’t show it to her face. “I see. No problem. I’m also interested in the Crimson Fiend Continent, so I don’t mind tagging along with you guys. I heard that this place is ruled by demons.”
Hestia’s eyes flickered at the mention of the word ‘demons’, but it disappeared right away so no one noticed anything.
“You’re right, Elder Hestia! I also want to see these demons myself. I’ve been busy with the Mission Hall’s matters all this time.. Now I can finally see what this place looks like!” Can Ye said eagerly.
