All things in the world, depending on the perspective you look at them from, will appear different.

From Tang Luo’s viewpoint, it’s not as narrow-minded as Xu Lao Ying makes it out to be, with only one solution: seeking help from the Xu Clan.

It could be reasoned that Xu Lao Ying’s noble lineage makes him give up thinking in many situations, prompting him to instinctively seek his family’s power to guarantee his success.

It s like when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

To Xu Lao Ying, the Xu clan is a divine hammer that triumphs over everything; every problem has a solution as long as it is brought back hto his clan. Nevertheless, as with everything, this kind of brute force comes with a cost. While it helps you accomplish most of the work, it also implies that it takes away most of your profits.

Such is the way of the world. Shortcuts will always cost you something, even if you’re not aware of it, something is always lost.

That’s why tricksters always encounter insurmountable challenges, leading to their downfall and despair.

Therefore, Tang Luo wants to broaden the Saint Lord’s son’s perspective: “As long as the Boundary Breaking Stone is in our hands, we don’t need the Xu Clan’s help!”

“Two years ago, the Boundary Breaking Stone was bathed in blood and activated its power, which means we have eight years to figure out a solution!” “Considering your current progress in cultivation, you should be able to reach the Fierce Realm in two or three years, and then, the world will be your oyster!” “The key to finding the Han Family’s treasure trove is a Spirit Realm researcher, not a Spirit Realm researcher from the Xu Clan. Excluding the three years it will take to find the Spirit Realm’s precise location, we have five years left to find a capable researcher.”

“Worst case scenario, even if there is no way out, by the end of five years, if you take the Boundary Breaking Stone back to the Xu Clan, you will get more than what you have now.”

With each sentence Tang Luo uttered, Xu Lao Ying’s eyes brightened. By the last sentence, Xu Lao Ying had completely lost his downtrodden expression and was brimming with vigor. After this detailed analysis, a bright future unfolded before his eyes.

It wasn’t just because he saw the enormous profits from the Han Family’s treasure, but more importantly, Xu Lao Ying suddenly understood the deeper meaning of the Xu Clan’s rules. Why did the family not take a cent from the treasures their clansmen found outside, even if they knew about it? And why did they strictly account for everything that was gained using the family’s power?

He initially thought it was because the family was greedy, but after hearing what Tang Luo had said, Xu Lao Ying had an epiphany- the Xu Clan valued those who could resolve problems themselves, not those who relied on the family’s power.

If he wanted to becthe Saint Lord and achieve his dreams, he needed to achieve greatness on his own, make his family recognize him and push him onto the position of the Saint Lord, because the dream he wanted to fulfill involved changing and leading the Xu Clan, not relying on the Xu Clan!

Only with a crystal clear Sword Heart, can one’s eyes shine with Divine Light! After gaining this understanding about self-improvement, his Sword Heart, which had been stagnant for quite stime, began to loosen up. A burst of silvery light exploded from Xu Lao Ying’s eyes, as brilliant and dazzling as the sun. It took a while for him to calm down and turn to Tang Luo expressing his gratitude: “Thank you, dear cousin!”

“Thirty million and ten thousand.” Tang Luo raised the price again after looking at Xu Lao Ying and said leisurely: “Don’t mention it.”

Tang Luo’s immediate increase of ten thousand in face of Ji Fu’s bid of thirty million had doubtlessly infuriated this prince from Beimang. Since he could remember, he had never been treated this way before.

He’d raise the bid by ten thousand each time, every single time. If this were Beimang, anyone who dared insult him would be dead on the spot, but in Xiling, he had to control his temper.

Ji Fu turned to the eldest warrior by his side and asked: “How much money did we bring?”

“Young master, we still have seventy million gold.” Ji Qing replied softly. “That’s good!” Ji Fu, relieved at the news, didn’t believe that the other party truly knew the value of the Boundary Breaking Stone and thought it was all a bluff to bring him down a peg.

He wanted to see: could a noble’s son really spare seventy million gold to buy a glowing jade just to prove a point!

Meanwhile, at the railing on the second floor, Xu Lao Ying had regained his composure. Even the Boundary Breaking Stone was treated with nonchalance. He just didn’t understand that, with regards to Tang Luo’s auction methods, “why are you still only increasing it by ten thousand?”

If he was discussing other matters a moment ago,why didn’t he just take it in one go now?

Tang Luo glanced at Xu Lao Ying, his silence spoke volumes about his disbelief. He said, disgruntled, “Doesn’t my money count? Look, that prince is almost out of money. Isn’t it better to get it for the least cost possible?”

“Hmm? You can even tell that he’s almost out of money?” Xu Lao Ying asked in surprise. He already knew his cousin was smart, but knowing even a stranger’s money situation clearly was too clever, right?

It appears he had overestimated Tang Luo. Unless one has divine perception, how could you possibly know how much money a stranger has?

Tang Luo’s judgment about the prince’s financial situation was based on two simple conditions: “Firstly, This Prince Ji is so angry because he can add up to five hundred thousand. How much budget could he possibly have?” “Secondly, the noble families from Beimang, for the most part, are all poor.” No sooner had his words faded, than Ji Fu, from the southwestern corner, cried out, red-eyed, “Fifty million!”

At that moment, on the second floor viewing area, a strange awkward silence filled the air.

Xu Lao Ying looked at Tang Luo curiously, as if asking, “Didn’t you say he was out of money? What’s going on?”

How the heck would I know!? Tang Luo scowled, annoyed with Ji Fu’s disrespectful manner.

“Fifty million and ten thousand!”

Even if he was angry, he had no choice but to continue raising the bid as per usual. Tang Luo was still very confident in his judgment. When a person tries too hard to appear strong, it’s probably because they’re nearing their limit. Because those who are really good at what they do, always like to play dumb and eat tigers.

Ji Fu, looking at Tang Luo’s prompt bid, was filled with rage. He put all his money on the line: “Seventy million.”

He didn’t believe that a noble’s son could spend such a large amount just to outbid him and prove a point.

“Seventy million and ten thousand-” Tang Luo’s face had turned completely black. Seeing Xu Lao Ying’s obvious amusement, he felt as if he was being mocked.

On the inside, he was exasperated. Is his judgment was incorrect after all? No way. If Prince Ji continues to raise the bid a few more times, will he lose his witty tag? How’s he going to brag himself up before Xu Lao Ying in the future?

Maybe the heavens heard his prayer. After the “Seventy million and ten thousand” bid, Ji Fu violently turned his head around, glaring at Tang Luo on the second floor with murderous intent. His gaze was fierce.

Stealing the Boundary Breaking Stone and still provoking him? Xu Lao Ying furiously questioned: “What’s his deal?”

Tang Luo was grinning from ear to ear at this, slapped Xu Lao Ying’s shoulder and said: “He’s just upset that he doesn’t have enough money. I told you he didn t have much, didn’t I? believe in my judgement!”

“That said, are you actually this rich?” Xu Lao Ying wondered. He initially planned to ask his aunt for the funds to buy the Boundary Breaking Stone, but his cousin insisted on doing it.

Although Tang Luo gave him a chest of gold, he still couldn’t get rid of his doubts about just how rich his cousin actually was.. Just what kind of method could a fifteen-year-old man use to casually part with seventy million without even batting an eye?
