Fang Junqiang eagerly desired the Foundation Establishment pill. Having it would allow him to break free from his current predicament, stuck in a Half-step Foundation. He firmly believed that if he could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would once again achieve the brilliance he had during his Qi Cultivation Period. He could become the person with the fastest cultivation progress and the quickest results in the Imperial Master Mansion. Not only that, but he could even become the second Gold Core Stage powerhouse in all of Imperial Master Mansion’s history. By then, within the walls of the Imperial Master Mansion, he could be a figure on par with Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu. Perhaps, he could even establish his own manor within Great Zhao, becoming the fourth National Master.

Fang Junqiang had a great ambition. To achieve it, the first step he needed to take was to gather enough herbs for Foundation Establishment pill. Then, as the First Half-Step Foundation of Golden Roc Hall, getting someone to help him concoct a Foundation Establishment pill wouldn’t pose a large problem.

In reality, Fang Junqiang has already gathered a complete set of herbs needed for a Foundation Establishment pill. But the saying goes, always have a contingency plan. He hoped he could gather a second or even third Foundation Establishment pill just in case if the initial attempt in pill concoction failed, he would have a backup plan.

“It’s you who wants to gamble with everyone?” Fang Junqiang pondered his own affairs as he walked in front of Qi Tian.

Qi Tian was perhaps the only person present who didn’t know Fang Junqiang. He couldn’t even recognise all the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage within Imperial Master Mansion, let alone a Half-step Foundation person like Fang Junqiang. They were never his main focus.

“Indeed. Do you want to gamble with me?” asked Qi Tian.

Fang Junqiang didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he said, “Could you sell your Purple Fire Fruits and Sha Mu Thorns to me at the market price? I believe if you’re willing to sell, you may possibly gain my friendship.”

Qi Tian frowned. Leaving aside whether he personally needed these Purple Fire Fruits and Sha Mu Thorns, they were currently being used as bait for fishing. Without the bait, not to mention the value, he would not be able to continue fishing. Qi Tian couldn’t accept this fact. Know this, in just a short while, Qi Tian has reaped resources for cultivation worth tens of millions of taels of silver. All of these came from using the Purple Fire Fruits and Sha Mu Thorns as bait.

“If you really want to buy, I can sell to you. But if you mention the market price, that’s a joke. In the eyes of those who need it, the value is priceless while to those who don’t, it’s worthless. Therefore, don’t talk to me about market price. I have my own price, ten thousand spirit stones. If you can produce that, the Purple Fire Fruit and Sha Mu Thorn are yours. Not only to this brother but to everyone present, anyone who can produce ten thousand spirit stones, can take away the Purple Fire Fruits and Sha Mu Thorns,” Qi Tian announced loudly.

“Qi Tian, have you gone crazy over money?”

“Damn it, Qi Tian, who do you think you are? Such a high price, are you taking us for fools?”

…

For a moment, various comments were flying everywhere, but more people turned their eyes to Fang Junqiang, wanting to see what decision he would make.

Fang Junqiang’s face was not looking good. A price of ten thousand spirit stones, Fang Junqiang believed Qi Tian was speaking nonsense and pulling his leg. He shouted angrily, “Qi Tian, I am very serious. Don’t joke around with me.”

Qi Tian shrugged, “Do I look like I’m joking? If you can’t produce ten thousand spirit stones and still want the Purple Fire Fruits and Sha Mu Thorns, then the only way is to gamble with me. Chu Yang, take over.”

Chu Yang quickly came over, glanced at Qi Tian, who nodded towards the direction if Fang Junqiang, Chu Yang gave a bitter smile. Nonetheless, he braced himself, strolled over to Fang Junqiang with a smiling face and asked, “Brother Fang, according to the rules, to gamble with Qi Tian, you must first sign up and pay one million taels worth of cultivation resources as the registration fee. Are you signing up?”

Chu Yang was aware of the gap between him and Fang Junqiang. He didn’t have any advantage, he could only be careful with everything he did.

“What business do you have here?” Fang Junqiang glowered. He knew Chu Yang and looked down upon this brother who was the same age as him but just in the Half-step Foundation. Although Chu Yang was much older, he had the confidence to take Chu Yang down within ten moves.

Chu Yang plucked up his spirit and said, “I am the coordinator personally designated by Brother Qi Tian. If you want to challenge him, you must follow his rules. Do you want to sign up or not?”

Fang Junqiang was very annoyed. He was willing to take the challenge and gamble with Qi Tian, which was already giving Qi Tian face. Yet, he was treated just like any other Half-Step Foundation challenger, he had to sign up and pay a registration fee, this was simply an insult to him, the number one Half-step Foundation in Imperial Master Mansion.

Fang Junqiang wanted to turn around and leave. Just at this moment, the supervisor of the Golden Roc Hall, Zhang Baojun, who followed him out took a step forward, passed a box to Chu Yang and said, “This is my brother’s registration fees.”

Chu Yang opened the box, looked inside and saw fifty spirit stones. Then, he looked at Qi Tian. In the National Master Mansion, the number of spirit stones was relatively scarce, so the price had always been high, never falling below ten thousand taels per piece. But trying to meet a million taels with fifty spirit stones was obviously a little stretched.
