Chapter 2131  Feng Shun And Qiao De's Arrival

Daoist Chu and Ziran spoke up seeing the final two companions arriving.

Lin Mu quickly scanned them and saw that they were probably in the best condition as compared to the others when they had arrived.

'Almost the sas us. It doesn't seem like they have exhausted much of their immortal Qi either.' Lin Mu thought upon sensing the Immortal Qi fluctuations coming from both that were stable.

It made him wonder whether it was because the trial had been easier for them, or if they had simply taken a slower method to deal with it.

"Huh? Everyone's here?" Crown Prince Feng Shun was a bit surprised seeing the group.

"Oh? Weren't we supposed to enter the reward ground?" Qiao De said, feeling a bit surprised too.

"It's good that you're here, Crown Prince." Crown Princess Shang approached. "We've been waiting for a while now." She added.

"You all have been waiting?" The Crown Prince furrowed his brows. "How long have you been waiting exactly?" he asked, sensing sdistress in the air.

"A little over two months." Lin Mu answered.

"Two months?" Qiao De raised his brows, finding it wrong.

"Well, two months since all of us were here. But Daoist Mu Lin and Lady Kang have been here for much longer." Daoist Chu stated.

"We were the first ones to arrive." Lin Mu answered.

"Wait… How long did it take since you entered the trial grounds?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked, knowing that something was not adding up.

"I'll explain it." Ziran said before giving the two arrivals a run down of all that had happened.

He told them how long it had taken each person to arrive and also the potential tdifference that was present for each group. After listening to it all, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Qiao De were both astonished.

"I never would've thought there were multiple different tflows in this inheritance ground." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke.

"For there to be so many of them is not simple… That just means that the arrays controlling this place are of an even higher level than I thought… this raises the value of this place several times." Qiao De said, a hint of ambition in his eyes.

"How long did it take from your perspective, Crown Prince?" Lin Mu asked, feeling curious.

"Well, it took about a week to finish the first Trial for us," Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

"A week?" Lady Kang was surprised. "That's faster than us." It was clear that the large quantity of beasts was not a problem for the Crown Prince and Qiao De. "And what about the reward grounds?" Lin Mu asked next. "Hmm… we spent about two days there." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Though the reward was certainly not worth it." He added.

"What did you get?" Ziran asked.

~Sigh~

To this, Qiao De had a disappointed expression while he sighed.

"We only got a simple Luminous Jade from there," Qiao De revealed.

Lin Mu was intrigued upon hearing that, as he knew that even if a Luminous Jade was decent valuable, being sold for a few thousand Immortal stones, it was definitely not on the slevel as the other items they had obtained from there.

"How big was this Luminous Jade?" Lady Kang questioned, finding something to be off.

~THUD~

In response, Qiao De took out the object in question. The bright light coming from the jade almost blinded everyone for a second, but they quickly shielded their eyes. There were several light beams emanating from the large jade slab that was about two meters in size and roughly forty centimeters thick.

It had an irregular shape and it was clear that it had been plucked directly from a mineral node.

"That's… not just a 'simple' Luminous Jade." Monk Hushu said with a bewildered expression. "Have you seen a Luminous Jade this size before?" he asked, feeling stunned.

"Indeed… this is a bit too big. The largest I've seen was about a meter in size and just ten centimeters thick." Daoist Chu agreed.

"Even if it is big, the Luminous Jade is only good for a limited number of things. It is at most a gloried lamp for experts." Qiao De sighed, knowing that it won't make much of a profit for him.

His goals were far too high, and he didn't think this was enough for a place like this.

"Still… You do know this will sell for at least fifty thousand high grade immortal stones?" Daoist Chu stated. "Acutally, it can sell for a lot more." Lady Kang replied, her expert eyes analyzing the slab of jade. "Considering its thickness, this can easily be sculpted into an Auspicious statue. Or can be used to make the main Ancestral tablet. Clans will buy something like this for a lot if it is auctioned. I can see its cost going as high as five hundred thousand high grade immortal stones." She appraised.

"OH!?" Qiao De's expression rapidly changed as he heard the words of the wealthiest person here. "If it is Lady Kang herself appraising this, then I must trust it. You certainly are the true merchant among us, my eyes cannot simply compare." He quickly flattered.

He knew if he had to make a decent profit, there was no other way than Lady Kang. Even if he tried to do what she had said himself, and auction it, the reach would not be as good as what the Great Kang auction house had.

Plus the sculptors that the Great Kang Auction house was on another level. Even if he was the manager of one of the Black Candle Pavillion branches, it could not compare to the Great Kang Auction house.

As such, he quickly humbled himself and wished that the woman would help him out.

Of course, Lady Kang could easily tell this too and had intended for this to happen anyways. "Lady Kang, would you—" and before Qiao De could finish speaking, the businesswoman replied.

"If you wish, I'll buy it right now at Four Hundred Thousand High Grade Immortal stones." She stated. "DEAL!" Qiao De didn't hesitate after hearing that.

He also didn't care that the cost was lower than what Lady Kang had quoted earlier, as he knew this was the more realist option.

'I don't have to work to get it sculpted and neither do I have to wait for the auction to be done. This is a lot faster and stable.' Qiao De thought to himself. If he had made a different deal with Lady Kang and waited for it to be processed and then auctioned, it might have even taken them years for this to be done. That was a normal thing that happened for high end items like this.

"Very well," Lady Kang was pleased with it and quickly took out a gold paper from her spatial storage. ~SHUA~

She then wrote on it with her finger and handed it to Qiao De.

"I believe you know what to do with this?" Lady Kang asked.

"Of course! Of course!" Qiao De's eyes shone, looking at the golden paper. "A Promissory note of the Great Kang Auction house! This is even more stable than the Immortal Stone economy!" the man behaved like it was a collector's item.

Lin Mu looked at it with interest, having thought that Lady Kang was going to pay him in actual Immortal stones first. 'I suppose if someone has a stable and rich background like the Great Kang Auction house, one can actually write things like this. Their mere word is enough to have great value,' Lin Mu thought to himself, finding it kind of impressive.

"Crown Prince, about your share…" Qiao De turned to the royal.

"It's fine. You can deposit it at the Imperial Treasury later." Crown Prince Feng Shun was not going to be bothered about something like this here.

Since this was more of a luxury decoration item, he didn't care about the value. But if this were skind of cultivation resource, he would not have been this lenient. He would have preferred an on the spot split.

After all, that would be a much better option for him when he was in a dangerous place like the Inheritance Ground, where anything could happen.

The right kind of cultivation resource could very well save his life after all, or even get him out of a pinch.

With this transaction done, Lin Mu decided to ask them more things about the trials.

"Crown Prince, how long did it take you in the second trial, though?" Lin Mu asked.

"About a month, give or take a couple days." Crown Prince said, after thinking for a bit.

Hearing that, they all were surprised.

"A month…" Lin Mu turned to Ziran. "You were indeed correct… the tdifference is far greater than we thought." ~phew~

"It's good that we decided to wait," Daoist Chu spoke. "Or we would have made a mistake." "Yeah… it wasn't them taking too long. It was the tdifference itself." Lin Mu nodded.
