Chapter 57: The Commoners’ Versailles in Casual Conversation
After obtaining the resources, Shi Jian first prepared a red envelope for the members in the chat group.
He took out one-fifth of those resources and sent them into the group.
[Shi Jian: "I traded some primitive divine bones for resources. You can each take a share for your cultivation!"]
After sending the red envelope, he took a selfie.
He captured his entire mountain peak within the frame.
[Shi Jian: "I joined an unremarkable faction, became an unremarkable chief disciple, and got an unremarkable mountain peak!"]
...
In the Sacred King world, Yang Qi cast a cold gaze toward the plaza opposite him.
At this moment, the plaza was filled with thousands of armored elite soldiers.
Mingled among these armored elites were quite a few figures in black robes and experts from the Chen family.
The Hidden Poison Sect and the Chen family had joined forces in an attempt to deal with the Yang family.
Having learned of this matter from the book of life's destiny, Yang Qi had been preparing to deal with the Chen family and the Hidden Poison Sect all along.
After his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, he directly launched a frontal assault, intending to wipe out the Chen family and the Hidden Poison Sect in advance.
"You reckless little bastard of the Yang family! To think you're foolish enough to dare take the initiative against my Chen family. I'll destroy you right here, and then go wipe out your entire Yang family!"
The head of the Chen family laughed arrogantly.
His Chen family was still in the middle of discussing with the Hidden Poison Sect on how to deal with the Yang family, but before they could even make a move, Yang Qi had actually come knocking on their door first.
This little Yang family brat simply had no idea the immensity of heaven and earth.
"So be it. Neither the Chen family nor the Shadow Poison Sect has any reason to continue existing in this world!"
Yang Qi looked at them calmly. Following that, true qi burst forth from his pores, piercing through metal and shattering stones with the sound of arrows hissing through the void.
Countless wisps of true qi transformed into arrows suspended in mid-air, every single one of them spinning violently before shooting out in a barrage.
The overwhelming storm of true qi arrows instantly shattered the formation of the armored elite soldiers opposite him.
Then, Yang Qi took a single step forward. Before his body arrived, his momentum struck first; a terrifyingly fierce sword Qi of true qi swept across the area, causing anyone and anything in its path to shatter like fragile eggs!
The Great Five Elements Technique—White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash!
With his own strength, Yang Qi fiercely launched an offensive against the army of a thousand men and countless experts.
"Damn it..."
The Chen family experts and the members of the Hidden Poison Sect were instantly consumed by fury.
This Yang Qi simply did not take them seriously at all.
Countless people roared and rushed forward, eager to strike Yang Qi down and kill him on the spot.
These individuals were all supreme experts at the seventh and eighth stages of Qigong.
They were the elites of their respective clans.
Having pushed their Qigong to the pinnacle of perfection, their combat power was terrifyingly strong.
Yet Yang Qi did not show the slightest bit of fear. Without even sparing them a glance, he merely swept his hand—a single grasp and a palm strike caused several experts above the seventh stage to perish instantly.
Yang Qi then unleashed the Undefeated King Fist, every inch of his muscles rippling and vibrating as his true qi surged like a smelting furnace straight out of hell.
With a single punch, he instantly pulverized and killed several allied Qigong experts.
"How is this possible? How could this brat's strength be so terrifyingly strong?"
The head of the Chen family and the experts of the Fog Poison Sect were struck with utter shock.
The strength displayed by Yang Qi had clearly reached the level of a Qi Master.
Furthermore, his true qi was thick and boundless to a terrifying degree, endlessly churning as if it would never exhaust itself.
Terror gripped everyone's hearts.
In merely the blink of an eye, Yang Qi had wiped out thousands of men single-handedly.
The few who remained were filled with dread and sought to flee.
However, escape was no longer an option for them.
Even a powerhouse at the eighth stage of Qigong could not withstand a single blow from Yang Qi.
A few minutes later, not a single trace of life remained within the entire Chen family estate.
The soldiers of the Yang family appeared on the streets, and soon swarmed into the Chen family estate in droves, beginning a massive plundering of the family's wealth and resources.
Before long, a massive pile of treasures and spiritual herbs was stacked like a mountain in the plaza.
Crates upon crates of riches, monster beast cores of all varieties, monster beast pelts, medicinal pills, and precious ores...
Treasures piled up as high as mountains.
As Yang Qi was listening to the people of the Yang family tally up these financial assets, he suddenly noticed the message sent by Shi Jian in the chat group.
A smile immediately curved the corners of his mouth.
The next instant, the Wings of the Devil unfolded behind him, and Yang Qi soared into the void.
Beneath his feet lay those mountains of accumulated treasures and the vast Chen family estate.
Following the example set by others, he took a selfie and sent it into the group:
[Yang Qi: "Just wiped out an unremarkable family and looted some unremarkable spoils of war!"]
He took half of the spoils and sent them into the group as a red envelope.
...
Meng Qi, who was cultivating in the Shaolin Temple, received the chat group notification and curiously tapped to open it.
The moment he entered, his eyes were dazzled by the mountains of gold and silver beneath Yang Qi.
In the world of Sacred King, gold and silver were the most vulgar types of wealth.
These materials had long since been discarded and relegated to decorating floors and walls or crafting furniture.
Yet beneath Yang Qi's feet, they were piled high like mountains.
This sight left Meng Qi utterly speechless and silent.
The world he currently resided in was also a martial arts world, where gold and silver served as currency and possessed tremendous purchasing power!
[Meng Qi: "On an unremarkable afternoon, eating unremarkable vegetarian food, living a truly unremarkable life..."]
[Meng Qi has claimed the red envelope!]
[Meng Qi: "And then I claimed two very un-unremarkable red envelopes!"]
"To inherit the assets of the Three Pure Ones in this world, and inherit the assets of other members within the chat group—am I considered a kept man at this point?"
Meng Qi stared at the claimed red envelopes, grinning from ear to ear.
He had already given up on working hard.
He might as well just be an unremarkable parasite living off others.
"Heaven bless me with mountains of gold and silver..."
Meng Qi effortlessly slipped into the life that Shi Jian had always longed for.
...
Fang Han let out a hearty laugh as he surveyed the contents of the chat group.
He claimed the red envelopes sent by both Shi Jian and Yang Qi.
The items sent by Yang Qi were slightly lower in quality, but their sheer quantity meant Yan could use them for trading later on.
On the other hand, the cultivation resources provided by Shi Jian were of excellent quality and would be of immense help to his cultivation.
[Fang Han: "On an unremarkable afternoon, I acquired an unremarkable fragment of the World Tree, slaughtered a few thousand unremarkable heavenly demons, and refined some unremarkable medicinal pills..."]
He also took a selfie and sent it to the group.
The place where he lived was similarly a mountain cave dwelling.
Following that, he sent out a red envelope containing medicinal pills...
...
After experiencing a massive surge in his spiritual power, Lin Dong discovered the little sable hidden within the stone talisman.
The two of them hit it off instantly, and coupled with the fact that Lin Dong knew this fellow was destined to be his good bro in the future, they quickly became fast friends.
Furthermore, Lin Dong discovered even more functions of the stone talisman, finding that he could now utilize the Yin-Yang grinding disc within it to temper and enhance his spiritual power.
Just as he and the little sable were happily engaged in a spot of plundering, he suddenly noticed the messages sent by everyone in the group.
A thought stirred in his mind.
[Lin Dong: "Discovered an unremarkable Heavenly Essence Marten hidden inside an unremarkable stone talisman, and managed to use the stone talisman's unremarkable grinding disc function to temper my spiritual power!"]
He snapped a picture of the little sable and shared it.
[Lin Dong: "If anyone needs to boost their spiritual power, come find me and I'll send you the stone talisman. There are two crystal grinding discs inside that can enhance a person's spiritual power, though the process is a little unremarkable."]
After sending the photo and text, Lin Dong claimed the red envelopes.
With a thought, a medicinal herb of exceptionally high quality appeared in his palm.
"Where did you get this medicinal herb? It seems dozens of times better than that Fire Ancestor Demon Flower. Hand it over, I need it to nourish my demon spirit!"
The little sable stared at Lin Dong in astonishment.
Lin Dong chuckled mischievously, his eyes rolling around...
...
Xiao Yan fell silent as he looked at the chat chatter in the group.
He was currently participating in the alchemist grand gathering within the Imperial Capital...
During this period, he hadn't done a single notable thing, living a genuinely unremarkable life.
Now, watching the others in the group flex and act humble, this felt even more agonizing to him than being killed.
"Damn it all! Why couldn't they wait until after I won the championship of the alchemical grand gathering before posting!"
Muttering inwardly, Xiao Yan went ahead and claimed the red envelopes.
If he couldn't flex, he might as well just lurk in silence.
