Chapter 1003 - Chapter 1003 Chapter 103 Contest of Wealth

Chapter 1003: Chapter 103: Contest of Wealth Chapter 1003: Chapter 103: Contest of Wealth With Shen Qingyi’s arrival, Gao Qiang was free to leave as he had already delivered ample food and water to the coach, ensuring no one would go hungry during the night.

Elder Yu’s great-grandson slipped a couple of packs of cigarettes to the gatekeeper, as a gesture to ease the tension between the two families.

Indeed, they had reached an agreement with Gao Qiang to assist with the food and water delivery, but since even the King of Hell is easier to meet than his minor demons, and the gatekeeper’s position is rather important, it’s best to maintain good relations to avoid any potential trouble.

The man at Dwarf Hill Post was somewhat reluctant, but as a Funiu person himself, he knew all too well how formidable the Funiu Yu Family could be. He had no choice but to accept it with some resistance after initially refusing a few times out of pride.

After Shen Qingyi walked over, Gao Qiang curiously asked her, “Why didn’t you drive over? You could’ve rested in the car.”

Shen Qingyi glanced at him and simply said three words, “No need.”

Of course, she couldn’t admit that she didn’t know how to drive… With a flying artifact at her disposal, why would she need a driver’s license?

However, honestly speaking, without a car, being on night shift outdoors during the early months of the year can be quite cold, especially here in the suburbs, lacking the urban heat island effect and with plenty of moisture in the air instead.

Shen Qingyi entered the pavilion and sat down in meditation, not interacting with anyone.

The security personnel in the vehicle outside couldn’t help but murmur among themselves, “Is this woman planning to sit like that the whole night?”

By midnight, Shen Qingyi remained in her meditation pose, unmoved.

Seeing this, the great-grandson got out of the car with a blanket and approached slowly, asking, “Do you… want a blanket?”

“No need,” Shen Qingyi coldly replied, “Don’t come near me, or you’ll face the consequences!”

“What a foul temper!” The great-grandson muttered under his breath, annoyed. Being from the military, he had a forthright nature, “We don’t hold your violence against you, and we’re concerned that you might freeze, yet you show no appreciation.”

Shen Qingyi didn’t even acknowledge him – as the second-in-command of Kunlun after the Sect Leader went into closed-door training, she had her pride.

A night can pass quickly or slowly, but either way, the darkness would eventually give way to light.

As the sky began to brighten, Shen Qingyi stood up from her position and stretched her limbs.

The security outside had been stunned; they had all been guessing how long this woman could maintain her meditation posture.

As it turned out, not only did she hold her pose the entire night, but she also got up and moved around as usual, without any signs of stiffness or numbness.

One of the security guards couldn’t help but curse in amazement, “Damn, is that woman made of iron?”

Another chuckled, “There’s no such thing as ‘Iron Woman,’ women are… made of water…”

No sooner had he spoken than the masked woman turned her head to give them a sharp, piercing look, the fierce presence in her eyes unmistakable.

Instinctively, the speaker clammed up, thinking what remarkable hearing she must have.

He was absolutely certain she had heard him, which explained the warning glare.

But they were almost three hundred meters apart, and he hadn’t spoken loudly; how could she have heard?

His fellow guard, who also noticed the look, couldn’t help but whisper, “Damn, this woman is seriously spooky.”

At eight o’clock, Gao Qiang arrived for his shift, accompanied by Feng Jun, who had come to feed Elder Yu with a Foundation Establishment Pill for the third time.

This third dose showed real effect; around eleven in the morning, Elder Yu actually spoke, saying, “Need to urinate…”

His words were slurred, but the healthcare doctor almost jumped up in excitement, “Elder Yu, are you awake?”

Yu Zhicai also breathed a sigh of relief. Busy with many matters, he had already postponed too many things these past days. He had decided that, regardless of whether there was an improvement today, he would leave–unless his father’s condition worsened.

He sat with his father for over ten minutes and, seeing that the old man was indeed in good spirits, he finally felt assured enough to leave.

When Feng Jun treated Elder Yu again in the afternoon, he fed him another dose of the Foundation Establishment Pill and gave him a full-body massage. Then, he took out a bottle of medicinal wine and instructed the healthcare doctor, “Apply this to Elder Yu.”

The medicinal wine was mixed with Body Tempering Pill, as the pill’s potency was too strong for oral consumption, making topical application a safer choice.

The healthcare doctor had no choice but to dab the wine over Elder Yu’s entire body with a cotton swab and carefully put the swab away.

Feng Jun wasn’t bothered by his little action; compared to the astonishing effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Body Tempering Pill was somewhat more restrained. Specifically, the trace amounts of the Body Tempering Pill could only bring a slight pain, causing some sweat and grease to secrete, which made people think it was normal.

Old Master Yu might have been numb due to his old age, as he showed no obvious signs of pain, emitting only continuous, indistinct grunts from his throat.

However, his skin quickly began to turn red, and the health doctor watched Feng Jun anxiously, “Is this… okay?”

“It’s fine,” Feng Jun shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, “There should be a noticeable improvement by tomorrow.”

After speaking, he turned and left. The sky was still bright, but he indicated that no more would be done this afternoon, and he would return early the following morning.

Tonight at Luohua Manor, Li Shishi was hosting a levelling up celebration as she had finally stabilized her cultivation at the first layer of Transcend Mortality.

Assistant Xiao Li was quite homebound; she hardly spent money in Luohua Manor. On the contrary, she had earned a decent amount of hardship fees for helping her boss with errands, so she didn’t mind spending a bit to treat others.

She wasn’t embarrassed by others mocking her for treating guests at the first layer of Transcend Mortality, as she voluntarily placed herself in the position of the pursuer. With an average family background and mediocre aptitude, she was just an ordinary worker who could finally step onto the path of cultivation; she was truly happy.

Others didn’t laugh at her, and Feng Jing even presented her with an obsidian bracelet as a congratulatory gift.

This was clearly something from the mobile phone realm, presumably acquired through Mi Yunshan. Feng Jun couldn’t help but mutter in his heart: Has Teacher Mei started learning to do business across realms?

Since Li Shishi was recognized as everyone’s little sister–except for Gu Jiahui– and she had served everyone well in daily life, Teacher Mei took the lead, and Sister Hong also didn’t hesitate to say, “The new camera I bought is for you.”

She had spent over fifty thousand on a camera, intending to take photos of the scenery if she had the chance to return to the mobile phone realm, not letting Teacher Mei outshine her. Now she decided to use it as a gift instead.

Once these two female tycoons acted, it became awkward for others just to stand by and watch. The biggest tycoon showed up, and Yang Yuxin directly took out an access card and handed it to Li Shishi–this was the card for an apartment she had in the Imperial Capital.

Of course, an access card is not a property deed and can be reported as lost, but Yang Yuxin said it was a small apartment. It used to be loaned to a friend who has now bought his own place and returned the card. She decided to give the apartment to Li Shishi.

Others were astounded at the gesture, including Sister Hong. Li Shishi asked tremblingly, “How much is this worth?”

Yang Yuxin waved her hand nonchalantly, “Only a few million. Just take care of Luohua Manor well, money is nothing.”

Their generous acts made the male disciples feel particularly embarrassed. Xu Lei Gang thought for a moment, “I’ll give you a car, what model do you want?”

Wang Haifeng, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. He whipped out a card and transferred ten thousand yuan to it online, “Take this card and spend it. Return the card to me once it’s empty.”

Gazi gave her a Prada bag–God knows where he got it from. After stammering for a while, Gao Qiang awkwardly suggested, “If you’re too busy with the manor’s work, you can look for me.”

He was now penniless, having given all his money to Feng Jun to become a disciple. However, he didn’t need to spend much in the manor; there were cars everywhere in the yard, almost all with keys left in the ignition.

Of course, he still had tens of thousands in small change, but… it wasn’t something worth showing off.

HuaHua tilted her head to listen for a while, then took out a piece of Spirit Beast Meat from her Storage Bag and placed it in front of Li Shishi.

“Cough cough,” Feng Jun cleared his throat twice, “This trend is not good, a congratulatory gift should just convey appreciation, it shouldn’t turn into a competition.”

Yang Yuxin smiled and conceded, “It’s a one-time exception then. Mainly because Shi Shi has helped everyone a lot, and this is not an ordinary elevation in rank, but a step onto the path of cultivation, which is of great significance.”

“That doesn’t mean you can give her an entire apartment,” Feng Jun shook his head, “Well then… the right to use it belongs to Li Shishi, but the ownership still belongs to Director Yang, that okay?”

“No problem at all,” Li Shishi was the first to nod, exhaling dramatically, “Being able to live in the apartment is enough. If necessary, I can save up and buy my own… If I can’t afford it, having an extra apartment doesn’t make much of a difference either.”

The saying that one’s environment influences one’s character is truly accurate. Remembering how money-minded Li Shishi was, she now has the courage to speak the word ‘no’ in face of property worth millions, and it wasn’t a simple rejection; she displayed grand aspirations.

In fact, Feng Jun felt that such a bargain was already very good. Renting an apartment in the Imperial Capital could cost fifty to sixty thousand a year. Even if it was only for a month a year, after more than a decade, this would save a large sum of expenses, making it a decent gift.

But what he didn’t expect was that due to Li Shishi’s advancement in cultivation level and everyone’s lavish gifts, a bad precedent had been set. Even though he tried to control the pace, from then on, the celebratory gifts for rank elevation in Luohua Manor kept escalating.

The celebration that evening went on without Shen Qingyi’s presence, as she wasn’t a member of Luohua Manor. She came to Luohua to serve as a guard, and she still carried the suspicion of being a hostage. She had no interest in joining the festivities.

At two o’clock in the morning, a low but alarming siren suddenly went off in the manor, and despite its low tone, it was enough to disturb those in the manor engaged in cultivation.

The young men outside had no choice but admit their dedication, as there were always at least two vigilant individuals. They opened their car windows as soon as they faintly heard the alarm.

However, at the same time, they already saw the woman sitting like a statue in the pavilion suddenly standing up, leaping onto the roof of the pavilion in a single bound, and looking around left and right.

“This woman… is really something…” The two eyewitnesses didn’t know what else to say, quickly waking up their companions.
