Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Is this provoking him?

The disciple from the commerce assembly who was about to handle the procedures for Yang Xiaotian paused, then said to his manager, “Sir, this young master has just reserved the Azure Dragon Residence.” He pointed at Yang Xiaotian.

“I’m in the midst of handling the procedures now.”

The manager was astonished; the Azure Dragon Residence was expensive, and it had been on the market for a few years without selling. He hadn’t expected that today, two people wanted to buy it.

He looked at Yang Xiaotian doubtfully, “This young master wants to buy it?”

“Yes.” The disciple from the commerce assembly stood up and handed the Space Ring to the manager, “I am currently counting the Gold Coins.”

“Gold Coins?” The manager frowned upon hearing this.

Long Yu, an underling of Long Xingtian, watched the huge pile of Gold Coins inside the Space Ring and sneered at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, this must be your first time in the Imperial Capital if you’re using Gold Coins to buy a residence.”

“Don’t you know that in the Imperial Capital, the common currency accepted by the commerce assembly is Spirit Stone?”

Then, he said to the manager, “The Azure Dragon Residence is intended for our young master to purchase. Our young master is Blood Sword, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, and he intends to move into the Azure Dragon Residence tonight.”

He took out a Space Ring and gave it to the commerce assembly manager.

Upon hearing that the person behind Long Yu was Blood Sword, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, the manager’s expression changed. He said to Yang Xiaotian, “Young master, our commerce assembly commonly uses Spirit Stone as currency, so we cannot sell the Azure Dragon Residence to you.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian asked the commerce assembly disciple, “Does your commerce assembly not conduct transactions with Gold Coins?”

Yang Xiaotian was somewhat aware of the regulations of the Empire’s commerce assemblies; although it was common to use Spirit Stones for transactions, there was no rule stating that Gold Coins couldn’t be used.

The commerce assembly manager, after learning about the identity of the person behind Long Yu, was clearly wary of the latter’s status.

However, it was normal for him to be fearful, as the Sky-Stepping Sect’s influence was soaring mightily, expanding rapidly, and beginning to overshadow the Divine Dragon Imperial Clan.

When the commerce assembly disciple heard Yang Xiaotian’s question, he hemmed and hawed, unable to reply at once.

“He’s new here and is not yet familiar with the commerce assembly’s regulations,” the commerce assembly manager said.

Long Yu laughed at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, you might as well take your Gold Coins and scram out of the Xueluo Commerce Assembly. Let me tell you the truth: Gold Coins are trash in the Imperial Capital.”

“No matter how many Gold Coins you have, they are still trash.”

“It’s laughable that you consider yourself rich while holding a pile of trash.”

Long Yu spoke loudly, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

All the experts from the great families in the hall turned to look.

“Also, I have inquired that the Azure Dragon Residence is the only residence currently for sale in the Imperial Capital, so you and your subordinates might have to live on the streets for these next few days,” Long Yu said with a smile.

“I forgot to mention, in order to maintain public order, the Imperial Capital drives out vagrants at night, so when the time comes, you won’t even be able to sleep on the streets if you wanted to.”

Long Yu’s laughter was arrogant.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the commerce assembly manager, “In that case, if I can provide Spirit Stones, then the Azure Dragon Residence is mine, right?”

The commerce assembly manager hesitated for a moment and eventually nodded, “That’s correct.”

After all, Yang Xiaotian had arrived first.

But he didn’t believe that Yang Xiaotian could produce that many low-grade Spirit Stones.

Long Yu sneered, he didn’t believe it either.

Yang Xiaotian reached into his bosom for a while and pulled out more than a dozen Spirit Stones.

As those dozen or so Spirit Stones were produced, the hall was instantly illuminated, the Spiritual Energy was like the sea, causing everyone’s breath to catch.

“Top-grade Spirit Stones!” the crowd exclaimed in shock.

The Spirit Stones in Yang Xiaotian’s hand were indeed top-grade.

Previously, he had killed Chen Lingyun and six others from the Mahayana Divine Sect.

As a Saint Realm Elder of the Mahayana Divine Sect, Chen Lingyun naturally had wealth to his name, with several hundred top-grade Spirit Stones in his Space Ring.

A high-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

Ten high-grade Spirit Stones are the same as one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

“How could you have high-grade Spirit Stones!” Long Yu exclaimed in disbelief.

High-grade Spirit Stones are extremely rare.

Even for the son of his family, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, obtaining a high-grade Spirit Stone was very difficult.

Yang Xiaotian, from a small family and academy, actually had so many high-grade Spirit Stones?

Ignoring Long Yu’s shock and surprise, Yang Xiaotian asked the commerce assembly manager, “Can we proceed with the paperwork now?”

Before the commerce assembly manager could speak, Long Yu angrily said to Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, do you really want to oppose our young master?”

“Oppose?” Yang Xiaotian said, “You’re overestimating your young master.”

Long Yu’s face turned ugly, was Yang Xiaotian implying that his young master was not even worthy to be his opponent?

“Fine, Yang Xiaotian, I hope you won’t regret this,” Long Yu said bitterly.

In the end, the commerce assembly manager finished the paperwork for Yang Xiaotian, and Long Yu left with his tail between his legs.

As he walked away, Long Yu’s gaze seemed as though it could melt iron.

While the commerce assembly manager was handling the paperwork for Yang Xiaotian, Long Xingtian and Zhu Xuan were drinking at the Green Lotus Tavern.

The Green Lotus Tavern is the best tavern in the Imperial Capital; a pot of liquor costs tens of thousands of Gold Coins, not affordable for ordinary people.

“Long Yu, have you purchased the Azure Dragon Residence yet?” Long Xingtian said after downing a glass of fine wine.

Zhu Xuan smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, the Azure Dragon Residence has been on the market for several years with no buyers. Ten or more thousand low-grade Spirit Stones aren’t something that a commoner can produce.”

No sooner had his words fallen than they saw Long Yu enter the tavern with an unsightly expression.

Seeing Long Yu’s face, Long Xingtian frowned, “What happened?”

“It was Yang Xiaotian; he beat us to it and purchased the Azure Dragon Residence,” Long Yu didn’t dare to hide anything and recounted the incident.

“Did Yang Xiaotian really say that?” Anger flickered in Long Xingtian’s eyes.

Long Yu hung his head, “Yes, he said that the young master is not even fit to be his opponent.”

“Good, good!” Long Xingtian burst into furious laughter, his eyes flashing coldly, “Yang Xiaotian, I, Long Xingtian, am not fit to be your opponent!” and he crushed the wine pot in his hand.

“It’s alright if we can’t buy the Azure Dragon Residence; just purchase another mansion,” Long Xingtian said, trying to suppress his anger, to Long Yu.

They certainly couldn’t just sit in the tavern like this.

Long Yu didn’t dare meet Long Xingtian’s gaze, “Because of the upcoming Empire Pharmacist Competition, all other mansions have already been snapped up besides the Azure Dragon Residence.”

But now, even the Azure Dragon Residence had been bought.

Long Xingtian’s face turned dark, “Are you saying we have to sleep on the streets tonight?”

Long Yu dared not respond.

But the answer was obvious.

“Yang Xiaotian, you insist on opposing me, huh? Wait until the Pharmacist Competition, and see if I don’t crush you to death!” Long Xingtian spoke with deliberate emphasis.

At that moment, Wang Zhou also learned that Yang Xiaotian had arrived in the Imperial Capital.

“This brat, he actually dares to come to the Imperial Capital!” Upon hearing the news, murderous intent filled Wang Zhou’s eyes.

Yang Xiaotian had killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao and still dared to come to the Imperial Capital brazenly. Was this a provocation to him?

“Master, shall we kill him now?” Wu You asked for instructions.
