Chapter 218 Tianhen Family
The dawn light lifts off the veil of night and spits out brilliant morning glow.
In the northern part of the City of Glory, the territory of the Tianhen family.
A dilapidated castle sits in the ravine.
Riding on the muddy dirt road outside the castle, passing through patches of barren farmland, Chang Ping headed towards the castle.
"What a gorgeous robe! I wonder which noble family this young master belongs to?"
"What's that mount he's riding? It's neither a donkey nor a horse. It looks so weird."
The farmers who got up early and went to the fields to weed were talking about it.
Soon, Chang Ping left the dirt road, rode onto the brick road, and parked his car in front of the castle gate.
"Hello, distinguished guest. What is the matter that brings you to our Tianhen family?" Seeing that the visitor was wearing a luxurious purple robe, the castle guards did not dare to neglect him and asked cautiously.
"I am Chang Ping, and I have come to visit Patriarch Nie Hai to discuss something important."
"Chang Ping?" The two guards were struck by lightning and asked in trembling voices, "Are you Chang Ping, the one who destroyed billions of monsters and saved the City of Glory?"
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning." Chang Ping waved his hand calmly, "Please help me pass on the message." Chang Ping took out two bottles of high-quality Soul-Quenching Pills from his pocket and threw them to the two guards.
These high-quality pills were previously refined by Shen Xiu and were not among the three thousand bottles of top-grade Soul-Quenching Pills.
"Such a strong medicinal aroma?"
"This is...Soul Tempering Pill?!"
A Soul-Quenching Pill could be sold at a high price of 10,000 Demon Spirit Coins on the market, and a bottle could be sold at 100,000 Demon Spirit Coins.
Seeing Chang Ping's generosity, the two guards did not suspect anything and hurriedly greeted him with a smile and led Chang Ping into the fort.
The meeting hall of the Tianhen family.
The head of the family, Nie Hai, sat upright, looking a little nervous.
On the right side of the lobby, sitting were several elders of the family.
"Master, why did Chang Ping suddenly come to visit? What's the matter?"
"Have our clan members not offended him?"
"Could it be that he came here for Nie Yu?"
"Xiaoyu is just a child!"
The elders talked one after another, guessing the purpose of Chang Ping's visit.
"Silence!" Nie Hai shouted in a low voice, "When the enemy comes, we will stop him. The guests are coming soon, don't panic. Wait a minute, follow my instructions!"
Now, Chang Ping's status and influence in the City of Glory are higher than that of City Lord Ye Zong.
Billions of monsters were easily destroyed by him, including three legendary monsters.
If he wants to destroy the Tianhen Family, who can stop him?
After hearing the reprimand from the patriarch, several elders shut their mouths.
The sky is falling and the head of the family is there to support it, so they must not be the first to act.
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Everyone's expressions were startled, their hearts began to beat wildly, and they all became nervous.
"Reporting to the head of the family, Master Changping has arrived." Outside the hall door, the loud voice of the person in charge of welcoming guests sounded.
"Please come in quickly!"
"Mr. Chang, please~"
Chang Ping walked into the hall with his head held high.
"Master Nie, I, Chang Ping, am here to greet you." Chang Ping clasped his fists and bowed to Nie Hai, who was sitting at the top seat.
"Please take a seat!" Nie Hai spread his hands towards a row of seats on the left side of the hall.
Chang Ping sat in the first seat on the left.
"I have heard of my nephew Chang Ping's name, and today I see that he is indeed a handsome man!" Nie Hai flattered him with a smile. "Master Nie, you are too kind." Chang Ping waved his hand, "I don't like to beat around the bush, I will just say what I want to say. There is a treasure in your mansion that I urgently need, and I hope Master Nie can agree to my rude request."
treasure?
What treasure?
Everyone looked at each other.
Their Tianhen family has reached the end of its rope. All the usable items in the family treasury have been sold for money, and what's left are worthless junk.
Seeing Nie Hai's confusion, Chang Ping smiled slightly and took out the remaining pages of the Book of Time and Space Demons from his little finger ring. He held it between his right index finger and middle finger, raised it up, and showed it to everyone.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
"If I'm reading correctly, it's a page."
The elders discussed quietly.
They didn't know what this thing was, but Nie Hai knew.
This piece of paper is a legacy passed down from generation to generation by the patriarchs of their Tianhen family.
"Nephew Chang Ping must have made a mistake," Nie Hai said with a smile, "We in the Tianhen family don't have such a treasure."
"Master Nie, please don't deny it yet," Chang Ping put the golden fragment back into his pinky ring, "I am willing to pay 1 billion demon spirit coins to buy this item!"
what?
One billion?
Upon hearing this number, the elders of the Tianhen family almost popped their eyes out of their sockets.
You know, the annual revenue of their Tianhen family is only more than 600,000 demon spirit coins.
One billion demon spirit coins is simply an astronomical figure for them.
Seeing the reactions of these old men, Chang Ping understood that Nie Li had not yet contributed the earned demon spirit coins to the family.
Not even the money was given, let alone the more precious elixir.
Thinking of this, Chang Ping’s confidence in obtaining the remaining pages increased greatly.
"My dear nephew Chang Ping, maybe I am too old and remember it wrongly. There might really be such a treasure in the family treasury." Nie Hai stood up. One billion demon spirit coins were enough to make their family a noble family. "My dear nephew, wait a moment. I will go to the treasury to take a look."
Although the torn pages were passed down by successive family heads, they were ultimately dead objects of unknown use and were of no help in solving the family's current predicament.
Their Tianhen family is the most declining of all aristocratic families. Once he dies, the family will no longer be an aristocratic family.
Without the support of the golden demon spirit master, all kinds of people will come to shit on his people.
With these 1 billion demon spirit coins, things will be different. He will definitely be able to train an excellent successor and lead the Tianhen family to glory.
During his lifetime, the Tianhen family might be able to rank among the wealthy and powerful families.
Thinking of this, Nie Hai felt a surge of heat in his heart. He quickened his pace and walked out of the meeting hall.
While Nie Hai was away, Chang Ping took out stacks of demon crystal cards from the thumb ring on his left hand.
Each card represents 10,000 demon spirit coins, and a stack of 100 demon crystal cards represents 1 million demon spirit coins.
clap clap clap!
The demon crystal card fell on the antique guest table, making a dull sound.
Every time a stack of demon crystal cards fell, the elders of the Tianhen family would feel their eyes twitching and their hearts trembling.
"Changping is too rich!"
"How did he earn so many demon spirit coins at such a young age?"
"When I was his age, I was still studying at Saint Orchid College and living on subsidies from my family!"
"By the way, what on earth is that piece of paper? Why would Chang Ping spend so much money to buy it?"
"I don't know. I have mortal eyes and can't see what's so magical about it."
"I was wrong. I thought he was here to marry Xiaoyu."
The elders were whispering to each other.
A thousand stacks of demon crystal cards were neatly placed on the table. Chang Ping crossed his legs, leaned against the backrest, rested on the armrest, and waited quietly.
