#73 - Thirty million low-grade spirit stones!
Seeing the numerous cultivators below shouting in unison, Lan Wenhao explained with a smile:
“The people below don't understand the truth and mistakenly believe that Brother Qin has broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.”
“But even if he hasn't broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Brother Qin can now be regarded as one of the top figures among Blue Star cultivators.”
“It is known that there are only two people on Blue Star who have broken through to the Body Integration Realm, one is Brother Qin, and the other is Qi Yun, Old Qi.”
As he spoke, Lan Wenhao leaned close to Qin Buyi and whispered, “Old Qi has already been defeated by Brother Qin. Brother Qin is number one in combat power among Blue Star cultivators.”
Hearing Lan Wenhao secretly mentioning him from a distance, Qi Yun felt bitter in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Yun flew towards Qin Buyi.
Arriving next to Qin Buyi, Lan Tianhe stared at him with wide eyes, his expression conveying a “what are you doing here” look.
Qi Yun's old face flushed red, and he cupped his hands and said, “Congratulations to Little Friend Qin on successfully transcending the tribulation, truly a formidable young man.”
“Triggering a thunder tribulation in the Body Integration Realm can be said to be a rare occurrence throughout the ages.”
Lan Tianhe interjected sarcastically, “It should also be added that fighting while transcending the tribulation is even rarer throughout the ages.”
Qi Yun bowed to Qin Buyi and said solemnly, “Little Friend Qin, I was reckless before. Alas, Wanrou's mother... Let's not mention the old affairs!”
Lan Wenhao smoothed things over, “I didn't expect Old Qi to have such romantic affairs when he was young.”
Qin Buyi said, “The previous events have passed. Does Old Qi have something to ask of me?”
Qi Yun said, “Can Little Friend Qin return my Shu Mountain swords to me?”
Afraid of Qin Buyi misunderstanding, Qi Yun quickly added, “I will exchange them with spirit stones.”
Qin Buyi said, “Okay.”
Keeping those Shu Mountain swords in Qin Buyi's hands had no other use besides being recycled into points in the system store.
Qi Yun exchanging them with spirit stones had the same effect, which was to exchange for points.
Qin Buyi was too lazy to argue with Qi Yun any further, so he simply did him a favor.
Qi Yun said gratefully, “Thank you, Little Friend Qin.”
Qin Buyi waved his hand, looked at the numerous Blue Star cultivators below, and asked Lan Wenhao, “What are your plans for these people?”
Lan Wenhao was not a fool and understood Qin Buyi's implication, which was to help the Lan family take this opportunity to increase their prestige on Blue Star.
Lan Wenhao gave Qin Buyi a grateful look and said, “These people are here for Brother Qin. If Brother Qin doesn't mind, how about inviting these people to the Lan family to celebrate for Brother Qin?”
Qin Buyi said, “I'll listen to Brother Wenhao's arrangements.”
Lan Wenhao was overjoyed. The people below were gathering more than 90% of the Blue Star cultivators.
Inviting these people to the Lan family as guests, coupled with Qin Buyi's deterrent force, the signal emitted invisibly was enough to greatly boost the Lan family's reputation.
At the same time, with the close relationship with Qin Buyi, the Lan family's control among Blue Star cultivators would greatly increase.
Lan Wenhao's voice resounded throughout the audience: “Fellow Daoists, today our Lan family is specially holding a banquet in S City to congratulate Brother Qin on successfully transcending the tribulation.”
“If you fellow Daoists don't mind, you can come along.”
After Lan Wenhao spoke, the people below said one after another:
“The Lan family is being polite. We will naturally go.”
“Haha, how can we not go if there is such a good thing.”
“There will be many disturbances at that time, and I hope you don't mind.”...
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that more than 90% of the reason why everyone said this was for Qin Buyi's sake.
Lan Wenhao said, “Everyone, without further ado, let's set off now.”
......
S City, Lan family residence.
At this time, the Lan family was decorated with lanterns and colorful hangings.
Inside and outside the courtyard were filled with tables and chairs made of thousand-year-old redwood.
Maids held various delicacies from mountains and seas, constantly serving dishes.
Lan family disciples were busy maintaining order in the field.
Lan Tianhe greeted the arriving cultivators at the gate of the Lan family.
Lan Wenhao was chatting with Qin Buyi inside the Lan family.
Lan Wenhao: “Brother Qin, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
Qin Buyi: “Brother Wenhao, please speak.”
Lan Wenhao: “First of all, congratulations to Brother Qin for obtaining the three secret realms. The matter I want to talk to Brother Qin about is related to the secret realms.”
Qin Buyi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lan Wenhao hurriedly said, “Brother Qin, don't misunderstand. Our Lan family is not greedy for the secret realms. The spiritual energy of Blue Star is weak and almost disappearing.”
“And the concentration of spiritual energy in the secret realms is several times that of Blue Star. Can Brother Qin set aside a place in the secret realms for the younger disciples of our Lan family to practice.”
Qin Buyi understood what Lan Wenhao meant and said with a smile, “I thought it was something. I agree to this matter.”
A big stone fell in Lan Wenhao's heart, and he cupped his hands and said, “Wenhao thanks Brother Qin here.”
Qin Buyi waved his hand and said, “It's okay, I still have to thank Brother Wenhao for his help in the past.”
Lan Wenhao and Qin Buyi smiled at each other, everything was self-evident.
At this moment, a Lan family disciple ran in from outside the door and said, “Patriarch, there is an old gentleman outside asking to see you. He said his name is Qi Yun.”
Lan Wenhao wondered, “What is he doing here?”
Previously, after Qin Buyi transcended the tribulation, Lan Wenhao invited everyone to the Lan family as guests, but he did not invite Qi Yun alone.
One reason was that Qi Yun had fought with Qin Buyi before, and the Lan family was now tied to the same boat as Qin Buyi, so they should consider Qin Buyi's feelings.
The second reason was that Lan Wenhao had some careful thoughts, revealing the Lan family's attitude of sharing the same hatred to Qin Buyi.
Qin Buyi's mind turned, and without thinking, he knew that Qi Yun must be here for his Shu Mountain swords, and said, “Please invite him in.”
The Lan family disciple did not move after hearing Qin Buyi's words, looking at Lan Wenhao, with a questioning look in his eyes.
“Didn't you hear what Brother Qin said? Quickly invite him in.”
Lan Wenhao glared at the Lan family disciple and said unhappily.
The Lan family disciple hurriedly ran out to invite people after hearing this.
Lan Wenhao said to Qin Buyi, “These juniors in the family are too unaccommodating, please don't mind, Brother Qin.”
Qin Buyi laughed, “Brother Wenhao, I won't take petty details to heart.”
Lan Wenhao continued, “I would like to invite Brother Qin to become the Supreme Elder of my Lan family, what does Brother Qin think?”
“Brother Qin doesn't need to do anything on a daily basis, and he won't be restricted. It's just a nominal position. I just hope that one day when the Lan family is in a critical situation, Brother Qin can lend a helping hand.”
Qin Buyi thought about it simply and agreed to this matter: “Okay.”
Taking a nominal position as the Supreme Elder of the Lan family, Lan Wenhao's move was to tie the Lan family and Qin Buyi more closely.
The two continued to chat, and the Lan family disciple walked in with Qi Yun.
Lan Wenhao gave the Lan family disciple a look, and the Lan family disciple closed the door very knowingly and turned to leave.
As soon as Qi Yun arrived, he went straight to the point, took out a space ring and handed it to Qin Buyi: “Little Friend Qin, this is all my accumulation over the years, I wonder if I can exchange it for the swords of the past generations of my Shu Mountain.”
Qin Buyi took the space ring and probed it with his divine sense.
Boxes of spirit stones were neatly placed in the space ring, totaling 30 million low-grade spirit stones after counting carefully.
