"Feng Qingtian could never have imagined that Feng Yuan could casually take out so many low-grade pills. He looked at Feng Yuan again, full of confusion in his eyes.

The son who had grown up by his side had now become so unfamiliar.

Feng Yuan, of course, knew what his father was thinking and said helplessly, "I have a Saint Body, and my master is an incredibly powerful cultivator. It's normal for him to give tens of thousands of grade-one pills to his disciples as snacks, right?"

"Feng Qingtian couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. This kid had been getting a bit cheeky lately.

However, Feng Yuan's reasoning was sound. With his Saint Body and his powerful master, while fifty thousand grade-one pills seemed like a lot to them, they were actually not as valuable as a single grade-six pill.

If Feng Yuan's master was truly that powerful, these pills would indeed be insignificant.

"Feng Qingtian took a deep breath, turned to the others in the hall, and spoke with a serious tone: "Starting today, close all our shops. Let everyone rest for a while."

With the thirty billion lower-grade spirit stones from earlier and all these pills, the Feng family could sustain themselves for a long time. By then, their strength would surely have increased significantly, making them capable of standing up to the Four Great Families.

Moreover, with Feng Yuan's extraordinary talent, it wouldn't take long for him to break through to Level 5 layer. By then, the family would have three Level 5 experts.

And with the upcoming treasure from the Myriad Treasures Auction House, the Feng family could potentially increase their Level 5 experts to four in a short time.

When "Feng Qingtian made this announcement, many people in the room immediately showed anxious expressions.

"Family head, we can't do that! Our Feng family has yet to establish a solid footing. If we give up on our businesses, it'll be even harder for us in the future."

"Feng Qingtian said firmly, "Enough. I already have a plan. There's no need to worry."

Although they had many doubts, the group could only keep their thoughts to themselves.

The Feng family was not only united, but they also placed great emphasis on loyalty to the family. Even if they didn't fully understand the reasoning behind the decision, they chose to follow it.

Not long after, the meeting ended.

Left in the hall were only a few elders and Feng Yuan, all of whom took turns examining the storage ring "Feng Qingtian had handed over.

Their expressions, as expected, were filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"So many pills… no wonder the family head is so confident."

Martin Wang gave Feng Yuan a big hug. "Yuan, you're truly the family's lucky star!"

The other elders smiled as well, their hearts filled with joy. Not only was Feng Yuan the future of their family, but he was already solving their biggest problems.

"Feng Qingtian looked at his son with deep pride. The future of the Feng family, with Feng Yuan in it, was indeed bright.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Four days from now is the auction at the Myriad Treasures Auction House. Feng Yuan, why don't you accompany your second uncle?"

"The Myriad Treasures Auction? Is it for the Spirit Essence Liquid?"

The Myriad Treasures Auction House wasn't a local force in Myriad Demons City; they were merely conducting business there.

In reality, the auction house was stronger than any force in the city, with a presence across the entire Eastern Domain. The Heavens of the Unknowns Continent was divided into four major regions: east, west, south, and north. Myriad Demons City was just a small part of the Eastern Domain.

The Myriad Treasures Auction House had locations spread across the entire Eastern Domain, proving just how powerful they were.

Feng Yunqian smiled and said, "That's right. Originally, we didn't stand a chance of obtaining it. But with these thirty billion spirit stones, the Spirit Essence Liquid is sure to be ours."

Spirit Essence Liquid was a rare treasure filled with the essence of the world. It could help level 1 stage cultivators break through to the Level 5 without any side effects.

In such a crucial moment, whoever obtained the Spirit Essence Liquid would have a huge influence on the overall situation.

The Feng family already had Feng Yuan. If they could acquire the Spirit Essence Liquid, it wouldn't be long before they had four Level 5 experts.

Feng Yuan readily agreed to attend the auction.

...

After leaving the meeting hall, Feng Yuan returned to his courtyard.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

A delicate-looking young girl was cleaning in the courtyard. When she saw Feng Yuan arrive, she respectfully greeted him.

Her name was Little Han . As a child, her parents sold her to the Feng family, and because she was meticulous and careful in her work,"Feng Qingtian had assigned her to take care of Feng Yuan's daily life.

Feng Yuan nodded indifferently and sat down casually. Little Han instinctively moved behind him to massage his shoulders gently.

Feng Yuan's face relaxed into an expression of enjoyment. The life of a noble young master really was quite pleasant.

"Little Han, how long have you been by my side?"

Little Han thought for a moment and then replied, "Young Master, it has been exactly eleven years and five months."

Her voice was soft and gentle, carrying the delicate charm of a woman. Hearing just her voice, one could imagine she was quite beautiful.

Feng Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had asked the question casually, not expecting her to remember so precisely.

"And how do you feel about staying with the Feng family?"

At Feng Yuan's question, Little Han suddenly looked terrified. She immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Young Master, please don't send me away! If I've done something wrong, I will change!"

Feng Yuan froze. He hadn't expected such a reaction from her over a simple question.

He quickly realized his mistake. As the Feng family's heir, his words carried significant weight, and his casual inquiries could easily be misinterpreted by those beneath him.

By asking her about her time in the Feng family, it could be seen as dissatisfaction on his part.

Amused, Feng Yuan shook his head. He gently lifted Little Han's face, looking into her wide, watery eyes, and smiled warmly.

"I don't plan on sending you away."

Seeing Feng Yuan's soft smile, Little Han felt a bit dazed. Although Feng Yuan had never been harsh to her, he had always been somewhat distant. He had never been so approachable before.

And with them being so close now, Little Han's heart began to race uncontrollably.

Quickly snapping back to her senses, Little Han blushed and said, "Young Master, I am very happy here in the Feng family. I love it here."

Feng Yuan nodded and handed her a storage ring with a calm expression.

"There are some cultivation resources and techniques in here. You have a mid-grade spiritual root, so make sure you cultivate properly and improve your strength.

"Don't embarrass me as my personal maid."

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master!"

Little Han 's face lit up with joy as she gratefully accepted the ring.

After opening it to inspect the contents, her eyes widened in disbelief.

So many spirit stones!

There were nearly fifty thousand spirit stones, along with a treasured sword and two low-grade profound techniques.

As a servant of the Feng family, her monthly wage was only seventy spirit stones.

Fifty thousand spirit stones would take her a long time to accumulate, yet Feng Yuan had just gifted them to her.

And the low-grade profound techniques inside—each was worth at least several hundred thousand spirit stones, perhaps even millions if the quality was good.

Filled with gratitude, Little Han immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Yuan. "Thank you, Young Master!"

In that moment, she felt that she would follow Feng Yuan even through fire and water.

Feng Yuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Did I just buy her loyalty with such a small amount of resources? Is it that she hasn't seen much of the world, or am I just too rich?"

Standing up, Feng Yuan started walking toward the courtyard gate.

"Come on, accompany me for a stroll."
