My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

270 Feng Xiaochuan

“Thirty taels!”

The moment Feng Xiaochuan opened his mouth, those who wanted to bid immediately shut their mouths. The price had doubled, clearly exceeding the original value of the detoxification pill.

However, these pills were in high demand recently, and the value of the item depended on who had it. In the eyes of the county governor’s mansion, who was trying to take down the entire Nine Dragons sect, thirty taels for one pill was not expensive at all.

Room A2 was also Feng Xiaochuan’s neighbor, and Qin Huai quietly listened to Feng Xiaochuan’s bid.

“The county governor’s mansion sure is rich,” he muttered. “Song Ya’s army is fighting fiercely with the Balance Army at the front line. Every day is like burning money. This Feng Xiaochuan can even spend thousands of gold to buy a large number of detoxification pills…”

Li Shaoxiang leaned on Qin Huai’s shoulder and plucked a grape before sending it into his mouth with her slender fingers. “I don’t know about the outside of Qingzhou, but the county governors and even some city lords in Qingzhou… They’re all fiefs and titles that have been passed down since the beginning of the Great You Dynasty.

“Although on the surface, the billions of miles of territory of Great You are the territory of the royal family, in reality, all the city lords and county governors are local tyrants.

“As for the sixteen prefectures of Great You, there’s no need to mention them. Some of the prefecture overseers’ strength can even shake the entire Great You.”

Qin Huai listened to Li Shaoxiang’s words. This Great You was similar to the enfeoffment system in his previous life. “No wonder the Great You is about to perish,” he muttered.

The surrounding maids lowered their heads and did not speak. A few months ago, it might have been taboo to talk about the Great You’s decline, but now, no one cared.

After all, there were already people who did not accept the banknotes from the Great You Trading Company. The transactions in the Fengxing Auction House would be converted into gold in the end.

“The world is in chaos. If the big cities are in conflict, the small cities won’t be spared either.” Worry flashed across Qin Huai’s face. Being born in this chaotic world really made one’s heart and mind haggard.

While he was thinking, Feng Xiaochuan had already bought three thousand detoxification pills.

“Sect Master Qin, thank you for your medicinal pills!” Feng Xiaochuan smiled as he walked past Qin Huai’s room. Then, he hummed a tune and walked down the steps in his mink fur coat.

A steward immediately went up to welcome him. “Young Master Feng! I’ll pack up everything you bought and send it to your residence!”

Feng Xiaochuan waved his hand and threw out three hundred gold taels. “Don’t worry, we understand the rules.”

The manager smiled and sent Feng Xiaochuan out.

Feng Xiaochuan had only come to the auction house to stroll around. He didn’t expect to see Qin Huai selling pills, so he bought them. This amount of money was nothing to the huge county governor’s mansion. It was nothing at all.

He was wearing a snow-white mink fur coat as he walked in the cold wind and heavy snow. It was as if he had become one with the world.

He took a shortcut through the slums. He raised his head and surveyed the young men and women clad in tattered garments who were gazing at him.

A sense of triumph filled his heart. He turned his attention to a young girl with a dusty face and slowly approached her. Squatting down, he took out a banknote from his fur coat.

“Tsk, this young master never carries any silver with him when he goes out,” Feng Xiaochuan sneered evilly as he flung the money at the girl’s face. “Give it to me and call me father. This hundred taels of silver is yours.”

Thud!

The young girl immediately knelt down in front of Feng Xiaochuan and kowtowed loudly, hitting the ground hard and getting covered in blood. She even shouted, “Father! Father! Father…”

“Hahaha…” Feng Xiaochuan laughed heartily as he stood up, observing the hungry eyes of the surrounding wolves, who were staring at the bloody banknote in the girl’s hand.

He saw the wolves shrinking back into the depths of the narrow alley, as soon as they noticed him. Feng Xiaochuan told them, “Don’t be afraid. I only asked her to call me father. I’m not really her father. What you guys want to do is none of my business.”

In the alley, figures resembling hungry wolves appeared one by one. Men and women, young and old, they all headed toward the young girl whose forehead was covered in blood. However, they remained cautious and looked at Feng Xiaochuan, not daring to be too ostentatious.

Feng Xiaochuan’s face contorted into an evil smile. “If anyone kills her, I’ll give them a silver note~” He took out a hundred taels banknote and waved it in the air.

Whoosh!

That banknote was like the sharpest weapon in the world, instantly cutting off the shackles of countless people’s desires.

The entire slum seemed to be in a riot. Everyone rushed at the little girl like crazy, and the little girl’s eyes flashed with determination as she ran into the distance.

Feng Xiaochuan then jumped onto a high platform and looked down at the slaughter he had carelessly caused. “This is power, this is strength” he said excitedly, watching the battle on the ground with a hint of intoxication in his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt something and jumped up, running away.

Boom!

It felt as if a mountain had fallen from the sky and hit him.

He crashed heavily onto the ground, causing the soil to fly and shatter the crumbling ruins. Bricks and stones collapsed, and Feng Xiaochuan plunged into the frozen earth.

“Who is it? Who is it?” Feng Xiaochuan was furious. A terrifying blood-red color rose from his body. “Tiger and wolf momentum!”

Feng Xiaochuan was stunned. His own power was so insignificant compared to this force.
