Chapter 293: A Display of Wealth, Spirit Liquid by the Jin

After Xiao Yuande finished speaking, everyone looked toward the table of the Seven Stars Tower, wanting to see how Qin Xiao would respond.

They all knew about the grudge between the Seven Stars Tower and the Prince, so when the Prince presented a Top Grade Dharma Treasure, everyone began to speculate. Could this be something the Prince did deliberately to belittle Qin Xiao when it was his turn to offer a gift?

“I didn’t think you knew how wealthy I was, Your Highness. I thought I’d hidden it well. But since you’ve found me out, I’ll stop pretending. I’m the richest man in Qingzhou. There, I’ve laid my cards on the table.”

Qin Xiao had come to flaunt his wealth. With enough money, he would not have to worry about recruiting talent. He urgently needed skilled people, both masters of various crafts and powerful cultivators. A handful of Spirit Stones would not win people like that over.

He needed to show these experts that Seven Stars Tower could afford whatever they required. Whether they wanted employment or a place to pledge their allegiance, they could rely on him to pay.

“The richest man? Haha, kid, has your Body Refinement fried your brain? Even if you exclude the Immortal Dao Merchant Association, the richest man in the entire Qingzhou wouldn’t be a nobody like you.”

Xiao Yuande was instantly amused by Qin Xiao’s words. Having a few Spirit Stones made him think he was wealthy? The richest man? He should know that many heavenly treasures could not be bought no matter how many Spirit Stones one possessed.

“Oh? From your tone, Your Highness, are you saying you’re wealthier than I am?”

Qin Xiao knew Xiao Yuande was deliberately targeting him, so he had no intention of backing down. If the man wanted to make a fool of himself, he would gladly provide the opportunity and use him as a stepping stone.

The prince could not declare war right now anyway. Once the grand formation was ready, Qin Xiao would have nothing to fear from him.

“Kid, you probably don’t know yet. The Prince’s estate holds countless heavenly treasures. How could a nouveau riche like you, who merely scraped together a few Spirit Stones, compare? Trying to match wealth with the Prince is simply courting death.”
