Chapter 194: Unfathomable Background, The Shopping Spree That Shook the City and Fearf of Unknown ( Bonus GT - XII )

For the next three days, the entire Jade City was swept up in an unprecedented storm of shopping spree for couple.

Yu Liang took Mei Hua on a continuous shopping spree, visiting every single shop in the outer city. There was no discrimination between large and small establishments. Whether it was a grand, multi story pavilion selling a Top Tier spiritual artifacts and rare pills, or a small, dusty street-side stall selling low-grade talismans and mortal trinkets, Yu Liang’s rule was incredibly simple.

He would walk in, look around, and say, “I’ll take everything in the store.”

Meanwhile, the news of this crazy shopping spree traveled incredibly fast. Within a single day, the entire outer city, and soon the inner city, was buzzing with the shocking rumors.

In the teahouses and information pavilions, cultivators discussed this matter with faces full of shock, disbelief, and deep fear.

“Have you heard? Young Master Yu just bought out the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion! He spent three billion Mid Grade Spiritual Stones in one breath!”

“That’s nothing! I heard he emptied the Greenwood Spirit Herb Garden. That cost over Fifty Billion! He just bought every single herb, even the ones still growing in the soil!”

“Those are old news! Have you heard what happened at the Heavenly Silk Pavilion? Young Master Yu bought every single garment in the store, along with enough spiritual silk to keep them in business for years!”

“That’s still nothing! My cousin works at the Merchant Guild. He told me Young Master Yu has been throwing money around so much lately that several major merchants are fighting to get his attention!”

“You’re all behind the times! I heard he’s been buying up rare resources wherever he goes. At this rate, the only thing left for him to buy will be the entire Jade City!”

As the rumors spread, the logical cultivators began to analyze the situation, and their expressions grew increasingly grim.

“Think about it,” an elder in a teahouse whispered as his voice trembled with every word. “Even if he is an Honorary Core Disciple with a powerful backing, no family would allow their heir to spend money this recklessly! Spending tens of billions in a few days? Normally, the family elders would have already descended to slap some sense into him, scold him for being a spendthrift, and cut off his funds!”

“Exactly!” another cultivator agreed, wiping sweat from his forehead. “But Young Master Yu Liang hasn’t stopped at all! He is still buying everything in sight! And more terrifyingly, there is absolutely no news of his family intervening. No elders have shown up to stop him!”

The teahouse fell into a heavy silence as a chilling realization washed over everyone.

“If his family isn’t stopping him… it means his family’s wealth is so vast that they don’t even care about him throwing away ten– No, No it should Hundreds of billions of spiritual stones!” the first elder concluded.

“His background… it must be even more profound than the Cloudwater Sect itself! He might be even the direct heir of a hidden ancient clan or a supreme continental power!”

This realization made the Zhao Family’s previous actions look even more like a suicidal joke. They literally tried to bully a monster whose background was deeper than the ocean itself.

“Then why is he suddenly spending so recklessly now?” someone asked after a moment. “If he really comes from such a terrifying background, why didn’t he reveal it earlier?”

“Perhaps he doesn’t want to rely on his family,” another cultivator speculated. “Think about it. He’s showing everyone just how much wealth he possesses, yet there’s been no mention of his family stepping in. What if he’s deliberately making a name for himself without revealing his true backing?”

The moment these words were spoken, several people exchanged uneasy glances.

“If that’s true, then isn’t it even more frightening? He’s already spending hundreds of billions of spiritual stones without needing his family to support him. Just how much wealth does he personally control?”

“And if he’s doing all this on his own, what happens when his family finally decides to step forward?”

Nobody had an answer to that question.

Some of the cultivators gathered in the teahouse had originally harboured malicious intentions towards Yu Liang. They assumed that even if his background was impressive, there would still be opportunities to take advantage of him.

After all, no matter how powerful someone’s family was, they couldn’t always protect their descendants from everything happening outside.

But as the reports of his spending continued to spread, their confidence gradually crumbled. The thought of provoking someone who could casually throw away hundreds of billions of spiritual stones, without even mentioning the backing that might stand behind him, was enough to make them reconsider their plans.

Some abandoned their schemes immediately. Others went even a step further, arresting their subordinates who proposed targeting Yu Liang in the first place. They would rather suffer the loss of a few trusted men than risk bringing a calamity upon their entire family or even generation.

After all, if they had misjudged Yu Liang’s background, the consequences might not stop with them alone.

While the entire city was shaking in fear and awe while Yu Liang just continued his shopping, completely ignoring the outside world’s panic.

As he kept swiping his spatial rings and emptying the wealth, the mechanical voice in his mind rang out continuously, recording his massive expenditures.

The final transaction of the third day was completed because there were no shop left he hadn’t emptied and after doing all that he checked the notifications and a brilliant smiled spread across his face.
