Chapter 835 - 835 288 Bizarre Robbery Two in One_3

Chapter 835: Chapter 288: Bizarre Robbery [Two in One]_3 Chapter 835: Chapter 288: Bizarre Robbery [Two in One]_3 If it weren’t for the fact that the threads of the Illusory Silkworm were invisible and nearly impossible to discern, one could easily see a thread suspended in the high sky.

Wherever Feng Yin went, the thread followed, always remaining hundreds of yards up in the air, fluttering and swinging, neither too close nor too far, step by step.

Feng Yin pretended to feel nothing and left nonchalantly.

This trip had netted him more than five hundred thousand top-grade spiritual crystals, as he had managed to sell off everything that was difficult to handle on the Anping continent in one go.

This time, it was a true clearance sale, including items of lesser value, all sold without a single one remaining, all traded for top-grade spiritual crystals and Spiritual Pearls.

Moreover, Feng Yin also traded for many cherished items, but due to inadequate age and cultivation, the final transaction price was less than one percent of their normal value. These were top-grade spiritual plants!

Yet under Feng Yin’s refinement over the last ten days, they had all matured.

It sounds absurd, but under the nourishment and cultivation of Feng Yin’s Spiritual Transformation Technique, it truly had become a reality.

Feng Yin acquired these seedlings of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a total of seventeen plants, at the modest sum of sixteen thousand top-grade spiritual crystals.

But if he were to sell them now, even one million six hundred thousand top-grade spiritual crystals would not deter interested buyers, who would queue endlessly and even fight over them!

After all, the frequency of enhancement these past few days had been extraordinarily high.

The worth of one million six hundred thousand top-grade spiritual crystals, an astonishingly huge number, was unimaginable even to the powerhouses atop the clouds!

The margin of profit was indeed staggering to behold!

Of course, this was something only Feng Yin could accomplish; no second person could achieve this feat, and naturally, no one else would think that Feng Yin had such earth-shattering methods. After all, it was beyond all conventional understanding!

Even with such significant appreciation in value, it was still just so-so in Feng Yin’s eyes.

After all, these top-grade spiritual plants, by staying by Feng Yin’s side, continued to be refined, their value practically doubling every day.

And such mature Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even the Demon Emperor himself would have to weigh whether his own fortune was sufficient to purchase such treasures!

But these considerations were naturally beyond Feng Yin’s concern. He was a businessman and his only interest was in collecting money.

As for how others spent their wealth or earned it, whether they could afford it or not couldn’t be further from his concerns!

The moment Feng Yin and his group of four left the Three Realms Trade Fair area, they were instantly back at their original position, that is, before the stone.

Glancing back at the stone, with only a thin layer of snow added, Feng Yin felt as if he had just awoken from a dream.

This whole experience lasted no more than ten days, without life-threatening struggles, yet it evoked a bizarre feeling as if worlds apart, making Feng Yin feel unexpectedly sentimental.

It was then that Peng Wanli suddenly grabbed Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan, who were about to descend, and said softly, “Hold your horses.”

“What’s the matter?” Feng Yin asked, puzzled.

But he quickly understood.

Suddenly, clouds ahead parted, and five imposing figures emerged one by one.

All five men were dressed in white, with fierce masks covering their faces, and five sets of eyes fixed on Dong Xiaoyan and Feng Yin like vultures in the desert.

“We mean no disrespect,” said the leader, whose face was covered in a golden mask.

“We, brothers, do not come to fight or struggle; we come only for wealth. You two youngsters have made quite a fortune this trip. As the old saying goes, ‘the road of the jianghu is paved with the rich and the poor; within the four seas, all are brothers, and brothers should be friends, and friends should share wealth.’ We have been waiting for you for a long time. It’s only proper to share a piece of the pie.”

He said coldly, “We don’t intend to be utterly ruthless. We’ll settle for three hundred thousand top-grade spiritual crystals; as long as we get the full amount, you all can go back safely without further trouble from us. The sky’s the road, we each take a different path.”

With a chuckle, Feng Yin responded, “Good money is hard to let go of. What if I say no?”

“The jianghu is full of the young and brash. As the saying goes, ‘a calf is not afraid of tigers when it’s newly born,'” the lead man with the golden mask said calmly. “You are young and full of fervor; perhaps you do not yet comprehend that a person has only one life. On the road of the jianghu, every step can mean life or death. Once these eyes close, there is no more opportunity to open them again. It’s better to enjoy a vast fortune while you’re alive.”

Dong Xiaoyan curled her lips and said, “Your reasoning is sound, but even bandits should choose their targets wisely. The jianghu is not so easy to traverse. This applies not only to us but to you as well, yet I wonder how much you can afford to speak of three hundred thousand top-grade spiritual crystals so lightly.”

The man’s eyelids flickered, revealing a flash of gold as he nodded serenely, “Would I dare to seek wealth without considerable means?”

He coldly continued, “Young lady, it was no easy feat for your parents to raise you. Likewise, it wasn’t easy for my parents to raise me. When we go out to work, if we encounter tough opponents, we have no choice but to admit our bad luck. Ultimately, it still leads to a dead end, a fact we understand without needing to be told by you.”

“But you two are different,” he added.

His gaze shot out a gold light that extended more than half a yard, imposingly commanding, “I have given you an option to live. In addition to your expenses, your net gain from this trip exceeds five hundred thousand; we’re merely asking for three hundred thousand, just over half. The friendly exchange of wealth usually requires at least eighty percent, today we are indeed asking for much less.”
