843: Chapter 541_2 843: Chapter 541_2 This ability was extraordinarily high for these princes, indeed a lofty goal that Gaode yearned for!
Luo Yaxuan was incredibly annoyed by these princes; after all, the resources he had were distributed by Jiang Tang, and he was saving them to take back home, to distribute amongst his family later!
Besides, he was out on a mission for the Supreme Elixirs himself.
How could he just casually give them away?
Not even for princes!
Lai Jianlin also received the same kind of harassment.
Because they were out on a mission, they hadn’t brought their junior female disciples, and these princesses and princes came to bother them!
The princes enticed them in every possible way, even sending palace maids as a favor!
Princess Long Feifeng and the other princesses were even more shameless—they actually used their beauty to obtain Supreme Elixirs!
Of course, the Emperor’s daughters were beautiful, and so were the palace maids in the palace!
But no matter how beautiful, they didn’t like these conditional gifts!
Even more so, they were enamored with their junior female disciples and wouldn’t back out because of these princesses and palace maids.
They came to the Ye Family day after day, from morning until nightfall!
At first, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin stayed in the General’s Mansion, but as they continued to be bothered incessantly, they didn’t even have time to cultivate anymore!
Having no choice, they could only stay inside the base and not return.
But how could princes and princesses give up so easily?
The people from the General’s Mansion couldn’t get the Supreme Elixirs; they couldn’t exert their power over them out of fear, as their abilities were too formidable!
Would princes and princesses give up that easily?
Thus, they tracked their movements, visiting Jiang Tang’s Capital City base every day!
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan discussed it and since giving them away wasn’t an option, they could only sell them at a cheaper rate.
“No way, we can’t set that precedent.
If they’re always so greedy and we sell too cheaply, then our base won’t be able to sell elixirs at a high price in the future!”
Luo Yaxuan refused to engage in such foolish behavior!
Nowadays, one couldn’t buy Supreme Elixirs even with money.
Selling them cheaply would make people think they were idiots!
There were too many powerful figures in the Capital; if everyone started pressuring them in this manner later, they wouldn’t be able to conduct business!
After hearing Luo Yaxuan’s refusal, Lai Jianlin nodded in agreement with his decision!
Then the two of them decided to meet the princes and princesses together, for convenience, and even constructed a guest house overnight.
Located at the edge of the work site’s entrance, it seemed conveniently situated, and this method was to prevent these princes and princesses from entering the base to have fun while the common people worked.
When had princes and princesses ever needed money to pay for their expenses and resources?
They were always contributions from various families and the common people.
With Jiang Tang being so powerful, they couldn’t afford to offend him; they could only grit their teeth and ask what price could get them a Supreme Elixir.
At first, they wanted to gain without effort, but now they could only spend money to buy!
The princes thought of their father, who was already becoming stronger; their inheritance was even more challenging than before!
Then they saw that people from other families were improving every day, while they were continually falling behind, as if they were hollowed out, lacking the strength even to walk!
Lately, they discovered that Tang Feiyang and people from his family were also enhancing their cultivation levels.
“How much for one?” Princess Long Feifeng faced setbacks time and again!
Now she had nothing to do in the Imperial Palace, and that eunuch was nowhere to be seen!
She had given her young heart to Ye Tian, but her body to that eunuch!
Now, she really had lost everything, both money and person!
If the price was too high, she might as well be turned into a piece of jewelry!
Couldn’t she allow her siblings to surpass her abilities, for what was she as the legitimate princess, could she afford to lose face?
Luo Yaxuan told these princes and princesses that the price would certainly be cheaper than the outside auctions, and even cheaper than selling to others, all because of their noble status, the price was within their means!
The princes and princesses heard the price of the Supreme Elixir: “100 high-grade Spirit Stones?
That’s so expensive?”
The princes and princesses were all reluctant; 100 high-grade Spirit Stones for just one Supreme Elixir was just too steep!
“Can’t we exchange it with other resources?” one prince said.
“Trade using equivalent resources, this price is too cheap,” Luo Yaxuan said with such confidence that neither the Prince nor the Princess could refute it!
They had just mentioned that it was expensive, but this price really was much cheaper than buying it elsewhere!
To buy one or two high-grade Pills at this price was one thing, but no other high-grade Pills were as effective for cultivation as these!
It could be said to be a great bargain!
“You’re reluctant to spend money, and we don’t really want to sell.
If you hadn’t pestered us, we definitely wouldn’t sell these Supreme Elixirs; they’re meant for the Saint to auction off!”
Of course, Lai Jianlin wouldn’t admit that the resources were given to them by Jiang Tang for their cultivation.
He wasn’t that foolish.
If he really said that, the Prince and the Princess would surely pester them every day, demanding a tribute without conditions.
They could personally ignore it, but they had families to consider!
In the end, for the sake of cultivation, the Prince and Princess spent a large sum of money to buy the Supreme Elixirs!
Princess Long Feifeng was also in this transaction, wanting to demonstrate her capabilities.
To outdo the other Princesses who bought ten Supreme Elixir grains, Long Feifeng decided to buy twenty!
Each Prince also bought twenty.
They shopped as if money was no object, but such massive spending didn’t make Luo Yaxuan or Lai Jianlin happy.
They thought selling such great items to these powerless Princes and Princesses was a waste of good resources!
But they had no choice but to sell them these fine items; after all, they were gifts from Jiang Tang!
Even though the money belonged to them, they would have been able to sell the resources for a higher price at their own family shops.
The Princes and the Princesses, having acquired the Supreme Elixirs, also took special notice of Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin!
…
Lately, the Prime Minister had been indulging in pleasures at home, ignoring visitors seeking an audience with him.
His staff was anxious; they had learned that Tang Feiyang and the Chief of Staff had been cultivating at home recently, supposedly with access to quality resources that were boosting their abilities.
Hearing this news, members of his staff made a special visit to see the Chief of Staff and his son!
The Chief of Staff and his son refused visitors, especially those associated with the Prime Minister, who were looking to gather information!
How could they let them know so much?
Moreover, the resources they’d received were supposed to be a secret, and even for a substantial amount of money, they wouldn’t leak that these were sent by Jiang Tang!
If word got out, it might bring trouble to Jiang Tang!
They weren’t fools.
Recently, the Prime Minister hadn’t been causing any trouble, which gave them the perfect opportunity to focus on their cultivation!
Tang Feiyang recently stopped attending the academy to concentrate on his cultivation.
He used to recruit at the academy to strengthen his team and become the academy’s Big Brother for the power it brought.
Now that he was stronger, he understood that external resources would naturally increase, as would his team, once his power grew.
The father and son cultivated, leading their family in cultivation as well, but they didn’t extend their support to other teams!
Perhaps everyone has their own selfish reasons; only by becoming powerful can one lead others.
If they themselves hadn’t grown strong, how could they give away their resources to someone else?
With this mindset, they refused to see visitors.
They didn’t meet with outsiders or even members of their own team!
The King had been dedicated to his cultivation recently, leaving all matters to the Generals.
Were there any troubles in the kingdom lately?
General Ye had received news of Western Wolf Demons entering the north and wanted to inform the King, but in vain.
The King, too caught up in his cultivation, had been neglecting political affairs.
And still, he didn’t delegate power, while his Empress and Consorts awaited him nightly in his palace!
The Prime Minister had grown fond of engaging in group play with his son, reveling day and night.
His mansion was now closed off, forbidding entry or exit to anyone!
Moreover, the man in black had involved himself, leading both father and son into the Demon’s temptations!
Yingzi, due to the man in black and the arrival of Bian Shasha, had no time for her usual mischief and got caught up in their group games.
The Prime Minister’s Mistress and concubines were initially unaware, but eventually, even they could not escape the man in black!
The Mansion Guard, maids, and all the robust and young had been ensnared, falling into the Demon’s influence.
This was unknown to outsiders, and no one intervened in their affairs!
