Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 499: Cutting Losses in Time



"Good... very good..."

"Yun Tianji, you're really something!"

Meng Han laughed out of extreme anger, no longer sparing a glance at the corpses in the pool of blood, as if they were two piles of irrelevant garbage.

With these words, she didn't hesitate any longer, turned around, and silently disappeared from the doorway of the Quiet Room.

The moment the Array isolating the Quiet Room closed, Meng Han's seemingly calm figure abruptly stopped in the shadowed corridor where no one could see.

At this moment, the fury in her heart could incinerate the heavens, yet she could only restrain her murderous intent.

Anger could not solve the current predicament.

She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her turbulent energy, turned around, and reopened the Array, stepping back into the Quiet Room.

The Immortal Scripture Command Token still hung silently beside the two corpses, a gift she personally sent the day before, intended to win over hearts.

Yun Tianji saw Meng Han return and instinctively stepped back half a pace, tightening his palm and covertly gripping the Void Escape Talisman, carefully observing Meng Han's expression.

For a moment, he was somewhat worried that Meng Han would go mad.

His life had great future use; he couldn't let it end at Meng Han's hands, even if it meant mutual destruction, which was far too unwise.

Meng Han's expression was cold as she stared at the Mystic Sun True Understanding, feeling a block in her heart.

Ten thousand Immortal Jade!

This number pierced Meng Han's exceptionally sensitive psyche at the moment like fine needles.

For the Xu Family's Direct Lineage, once holding a tenth of Heavenly Fate, ten thousand Immortal Jade might not have been a significant sum.

But times have changed; the Xu Family's Half of Heaven's Fortune had been taken by the Sun-Eroding Cry, leaving the clan's treasury empty. Resource competition had reached a fever pitch, with most resources tilted toward the clan's Son of Heaven.

Though Meng Han was of Ancestor Blood, she was not the only core in the clan, and the resources she could mobilize were extremely limited.

This ten thousand Immortal Jade, for her personally, was by no means a small sum to discard lightly.

If it weren't to recruit those two promising Lower Realm prodigies, she would never have been so generous, nor would she have easily given away the Immortal Scripture she'd obtained.

Now, the people were gone; if the Immortal Scripture remained here in vain, it would only benefit others and ultimately become Yun Tianji's laughingstock.

A glint of cold severity flashed in Meng Han's eyes as she flickered and slowly raised her hand.

Buzz.

The Mystic Sun True Understanding transformed into a stream of light, instantly landing in her palm.

Warmth met her touch, the Immortal Charm circulated, yet now it stirred a strong nausea from her heart.

Without another glance at Yun Tianji, she put away the Command Token with a flick of her hand, disappearing once more from the Quiet Room's entrance, her swift departure like thunder, leaving Yun Tianji unable to react.

After a long while, Yun Tianji finally snapped out of his daze. Realizing what Meng Han had done, his expression held no joy but turned slightly grave.

In the past, Meng Han would never have lowered herself to retrieve the Immortal Scripture.

The Xu Family's situation now was likely much worse than he had imagined.

All this was due to Grandpa being killed by the Sun-Eroding Cry, triggering this chain reaction.

......

......

Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, ninth floor.

In a hidden VIP trading room.

Meng Han sat at the head, with an elder in his sixties, dressed in the Vestment robe of a high-ranking Manager of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, standing respectfully before her.

The old man wore an almost template-like respectful smile, with a trace of barely noticeable nervousness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

He recognized the terrifying aura of the man before him as a distinguished guest from the Zhao Clan's Heavenly Universe Private Room, the Upper Realm big shot who had bid for the Mystic Sun True Understanding!

"I don't know what instructions you have for us on your esteemed visit?" the Manager asked cautiously, bowing with respect.

Meng Han's expression was calm as she flicked her finger, revealing the Jade Talisman engraved with the Mystic Sun True Understanding, which emerged from the void and hovered in front of the Manager, emitting waves of Immortal Charm.

"Will the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower take this item?"

Meng Han's voice was clear and cold, devoid of any mundane air, yet the anger in her heart roiled like boiling lava.

The Manager's pupils contracted sharply. As a high-level member of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, he naturally knew the Mystic Sun True Understanding. In an instant, a sense of doubt arose within him.

Why was it that suddenly this distinguished Upper Realm guest, who had bid for it, now wanted to sell it?!

Immense shock rendered the Manager temporarily speechless, but he quickly regained composure, his mind racing. Perhaps it was merely a whim that had led this esteemed person to bid for it, only to find it useless upon receipt.

After all, the Upper Realm had no shortage of Immortal Scriptures of all kinds.

But for the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, this undoubtedly presented a great opportunity.

The Manager restrained his excitement, presenting the perfect mix of difficulty and respect: "To sell such an unparalleled Immortal Scripture, of course, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower considers it an honor, but..."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of caution: "Concerning the price... I'm afraid we cannot calculate it according to the original price you bid for two days ago."

Meng Han didn't lift her eyelids; she seemed to have expected it: "Speak."

The Manager took a deep breath and carefully stated, "If the esteemed guest agrees, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower is willing to repurchase the Mystic Sun True Understanding at seventy percent of the second-highest bid at that time."

He observed Meng Han's complexion and slowly spoke:

"During that auction, the second-highest bid was from the Song Clan, at one billion Top Quality Spiritual Stones, so... the amount the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower can offer... is seventy million Top Quality Spiritual Stones."

Though she had mentally prepared herself, hearing the figure of seventy million, Meng Han's emotions still rippled slightly.

Seventy million Top Quality Spiritual Stones, when calculated according to the ratio of Immortal Jade to Spiritual Stones in the Lower Realm, this was not even thirty percent of her purchasing price.
