CHAPTER 632: CHAPTER 630: MONSTER! TOO MONSTROUS!

Just after Song Tianhao finished speaking,

a burst of presumptuous laughter came from behind him!

"Hahaha!"

"Old man, you’re quite funny! But you’re really daydreaming! What are you thinking? We’re asking you for some Spirit Stones, and you’re talking about lending? Have you lost your mind?" Yuan Shiyang burst into laughter.

Interesting!

Truly interesting!

"Thirty billion Spirit Stones is not a small sum..." Murong Guan frowned.

To the Holy Mansion, thirty billion Spirit Stones isn’t a lot.

But.

It’s definitely not a negligible amount either!

It’s enough to support the operation of the Holy Mansion for a month.

To simply hand over thirty billion Spirit Stones... And moreover, just because someone said a word, they should obediently hand out thirty billion? Why should they!

"What’s the matter? You’re not willing?" Song Tianhao looked at Murong Guan coldly.

"Pavilion Master Murong, we were just joking. Those thirty billion Spirit Stones, consider them as a loan from us, go fetch them. We will write you an IOU!" Su Yun suddenly spoke.

"Really? Thank you, Miss, I thought you all..." Murong Guan breathed a sigh of relief.

If these people insisted on taking away thirty billion Spirit Stones, in the end, Murong Guan might choose to compromise!

The people of Divine Wind Continent... the Holy Mansion cannot offend!

These people are not like those from the lower planes.

Just how terrifying the Divine Wind Continent is, Murong Guan knew very well!

A random Fourth Grade force can send a few powerhouses and sweep through the Holy Mansion!

Not to mention the other Third Grade, Second Grade, and even First Grade forces.

Murong Guan speculated that these people were at least from a Third Grade force!

The Holy Mansion... they really can’t afford to provoke!

Truly, they can’t!

Now that Su Yun was willing to write an IOU, naturally that’s the best.

As long as there’s an IOU, a Third Grade force will not disregard their own reputation for thirty billion Spirit Stones!

But.

Suddenly.

"Su Yun, what nice person act are you putting on?" Su Xin frowned.

"Exactly! Those thirty billion Spirit Stones, if you want to repay them, do it yourself; we won’t pay a single one!" Yuan Shiyang also rolled his eyes, feeling that Su Yun was not thinking straight.

Isn’t that a problem?

Isn’t it a simple matter with a single word from them, and this Pavilion Master should promptly deliver thirty billion Spirit Stones?

Is it necessary to be so troublesome!

And actually thinking of writing an IOU!

Definitely a brain issue!

At this moment.

Song Tianhao also spoke up, calmly saying: "I’ve suddenly changed my mind, thirty billion is not enough, we’re prepared to demand three hundred billion!"

"What? Three hundred billion!!!" Gu Santong, who hadn’t spoken, nearly jumped up.

"Five hundred billion!" Song Tianhao said.

"Five hundred billion... isn’t that too much, young master, are you...?" Huo Xiao’s face also turned red with restraint.

"Yeah, young master... five hundred billion is also too..." Murong Guan opened his mouth.

Before he could finish his sentence.

"One trillion!"

Song Tianhao grinned and smiled mockingly!

In an instant.

The faces of Murong Guan, Gu Santong, Huo Xiao, and others turned extremely ugly, mouths agape, yet they dared not say another word of rebuttal, not even a single word.

One trillion Spirit Stones is almost three years of consumption for the Holy Mansion.

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter came, filled with endless mockery and ridicule!

"Why aren’t you speaking anymore?" Yuan Shiyang stretched his neck and cheerfully asked.

"Keep talking. Soon, what we’ll want won’t be one trillion, but three trillion!" Bai Feng folded his arms across his chest and said mockingly.

"If you don’t want to drink a toast, you’ll have to drink a forfeit. Had you handed over thirty billion Spirit Stones earlier, we would have left directly. Now it’s getting interesting. Without one trillion Spirit Stones, we’re not going anywhere!" Su Xin said coldly.

Only Su Yun remained silent.

She couldn’t help it.

She alone couldn’t change anything.

"One trillion! I’ll give you just half an hour; after that, bring it to the square." Song Tianhao said indifferently.

Then.

He gently raised his hand.

A tea table appeared out of nowhere on the square.

Everything on the tea table was all set up, complete with teapot, teacups, and stove.

Song Tianhao walked over and began to prepare tea.

"You’d better hurry up, I don’t have much patience," Song Tianhao gave Murong Guan one last look.

Then.

He earnestly brewed tea.

And didn’t glance at the crowd again!

Meanwhile.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted, like a volcanic explosion, earth-shattering, and the whole Holy Mansion Continent trembled.

"What’s that sound?"

"Is it... from the direction of the volcano in the back mountain? Could it be... Lin Fan has ended his retreat?"

"Right, it must be Lin Fan finishing his retreat. It’s been three months, and today is exactly the last day; Lin Fan is set to come out today!"

Murong Guan, Gu Santong, Huo Xiao, and others lit up with excitement and exclaimed.

Three months ago, everyone thought Lin Fan had died.

But.

Murong Guan and the others knew Lin Fan wasn’t dead!

And for some reasons, he had been in retreating in the mouth of the volcano.

Today, it just so happens to be the last day Lin Fan had instructed before coming out of retreat, considering the time, he should be finishing his retreat now.

"Let’s go and have a look!"

Overjoyed, Murong Guan soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of the volcano.

At the same time, followed closely by Gu Santong, Huo Xiao, and others, who completely ignored Song Tianhao and the rest!

"What’s going on?" Su Xin was startled.

"Damn it! What’s going on with this Holy Mansion? Damn it! Didn’t we ask them to prepare a hundred billion Spirit Stones? What’s this nonsense? Why have they all suddenly run off! What do they take us for?" Bai Feng’s face darkened.

"It seems like someone has come out of retreat?" Yuan Shiyang frowned and turned to look at Song Tianhao, asking, "Brother Song, shall we go and see too?"

"What’s there to see?" Song Tianhao shook his head; a cold gleam flashed in his eyes as he scoffed, "I said half an hour means half an hour. If after half an hour, the hundred billion Spirit Stones haven’t been delivered, I’ll make them pay the price!"

Song Tianhao grinned.

......

......

At this moment.

Everyone had already arrived at the outer rim of the volcano crater.

Ye Yilin, Nangong Li, Mo Beiwei, Ling Qionglan had long been waiting there.

Following that.

Murong Guan, Gu Santong, Huo Xiao, and others also showed up, standing there excitedly, watching the volcano ahead.

They saw.

There was a terrifying commotion within the mountain range ahead.

Then, streaks of Heavenly Tribulation appeared, descending from the sky.

Amidst the Heavenly Tribulation, a figure emerged— it was Lin Fan!

At this moment.

"Little Fan Fan, you’re about to face a tribulation again. What are you planning to do this time? Are you going to absorb the power from the Heavenly Tribulation again? If you continue absorbing, you might go from the Void Refining Middle Stage to the Void Refining Late Stage! You can’t miss this opportunity!" Emperor Jade reminded.

In three months’ time, not only did Lin Fan recover his Divine Sense.

But also, within the volcano, he absorbed a tremendous amount of Fire attribute Spiritual Energy, along with the Demon Crystals and Medicinal Materials from his Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring. After absorbing them all, Lin Fan entered the Void Refining Middle Stage, triggering a minor Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation might have been minor, but it was still imbued with the energy of thunder and lightning!

"I plan to give it a try. If I can reach the Void Refining Late Stage, that wouldn’t be too bad!" Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Then.

He rushed towards the Heavenly Tribulation ahead!

"What is Lin Fan doing?"

"Could it be... he intends to directly confront the Heavenly Tribulation?" Murong Guan and others were already speechless with shock, eyes wide and tongues tied.

Directly confronting the Heavenly Tribulation? What a joke!

Who faces a tribulation without resisting or avoiding it, who confronts it head-on?

Has Lin Fan lost his mind?

At the same time, a terrifying heavenly thunder fell from the sky, viciously striking towards Lin Fan!

"Boom!"

......

......

Half an hour later, Lin Fan had completed his tribulation.

Correspondingly, he had absorbed the terrifying energy of the Heavenly Tribulation, and his Cultivation had improved from the Void Refining Middle Stage to the Void Refining Late Stage in one fell swoop.

When Lin Fan appeared in front of everyone, they were all astonished!

"Lin Fan... you... your Cultivation... it has improved again?" Murong Guan looked at Lin Fan with astonishment and fear!

Three months ago, Lin Fan’s Cultivation... was at the Void Refining Early Stage...

Now.

He had reached the Void Refining Late Stage!

"A monster! Such a monster! Lin Fan, how did you manage to do this?" Gu Santong couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

"This is impossible... In all my 3,978 years, I have never seen anyone cultivate like this... From the Void Refining Early Stage to the Void Refining Late Stage in just three months? Holy shit!" Even Huo Xiao’s old eyes were filled with disbelief.
