Chapter 274 - 271 Shattered Jade Scripture
Having lived a great many years, to be toyed with by some greenhorn whose whiskers had barely sprouted, True Master Tianzhu’s annoyance was, as one could imagine, considerable.
Well, to be fair, Ye Zhen’s whiskers should be considered fully grown, with a tuft of black stubble at least—albeit still somewhat soft.
What truly made True Master Tianzhu feel like he couldn’t show his face was that he had been played in public under the broad daylight. After all, he was rather well-known in the Phantom Divine Empire; many old acquaintances were present today.
Especially when these old acquaintances emitted a ’heh heh’ of subdued laughter upon witnessing True Master Tianzhu being fooled, his fury intensified even more.
While True Master Tianzhu was feeling the sting to his pride, Wen Tianyu was pained by the hemorrhage of his wealth.
Looking at the steward of Fragrant Pill King Manor who was walking away with 1.31 million taels of gold, and then at those two bottles of Spirit Transformation Pills in front of him, Wen Tianyu’s lips began to twitch in agony.
1.31 million taels of gold was almost a third of Wen Tianyu’s entire fortune.
Even the usual expenses of cultivation were substantial, and Wen Tianyu had not accumulated his current wealth without considerable effort. Now, to have a third of it taken away in one stroke, the pain had his heart lurching.
Most importantly, the market price of two bottles of Spirit Transformation Pills was at most sixty thousand taels of gold, yet he had spent 1.31 million.
Wen Tianyu felt that at this moment, all eyes on him were silently saying one thing—what a fool.
