Villain: After Truncating the Heroine, the Protagonist Collapses

246: No matter how urgent the matter is, I dare not delay Manager Yang’s meal!Night slowly fell. Today’s moon was not very full, and its light seemed much dimmer than yesterday.

”I earned three thousand spirit crystals in a single day! But I only get about three hundred of them!”

Yang Yucheng took a deep breath, the smile on his lips slowly fading.

Returning to his bed, Yang Yucheng sat cross-legged and began to Cultivate the Nirvana True Scripture within him.

Qingyun Grotto-Heaven had its own specialized Cultivation Technique for Stewards, but Yang Yucheng saw at a glance that the Cultivation Technique given to Stewards was not as good as the Nirvana True Scripture he Cultivated.

At best, it was on the same Rank as the Phoenix Art that came before the Nirvana True Scripture, so he had no intention of switching Cultivation Techniques!

Cultivation Techniques had Heaven and Earth barriers.

Since Yang Yucheng had crossed this barrier!

Unless he encountered a Heaven-Grade or Supreme Cultivation Technique, he would not do such a foolish thing!

Feeling the streams of spiritual Qi being activated from his Dantian, then flowing through his meridians, forming a minor and major circulation.

The smile on Yang Yucheng’s Face grew softer.

Silently feeling his strength gradually increase, this sensation was intoxicating!

A night passed.

The spirit crystals Yang Yucheng currently had left had shrunk by one-third.

In just one night, he had absorbed over a hundred spirit crystals.

At this rate, he would consume more than three thousand spirit crystals each month, and even with his status as a Steward, the resources he obtained were still insufficient.

And this was still the result of him not using his full power.

Once he used his full power and Cultivated without restraint!

It would probably take ten thousand spirit crystals a month, and even that might not be enough.

After crossing the Heaven and Earth barrier, the Nirvana True Scripture’s Rank had clearly reached Earth-Grade, even comparable to some lower-Rank Protectors and Elders in the Elder Hall.

That is, the Rank of his cheap Supreme, Protector Han.

The resources required were naturally very different from those of an ordinary Steward!

...

Yang Yucheng stayed in the Dragon Lair Treasure Land for half a month.

On this day, he did not continue to stay in the pavilions but wandered among several nearby mines.

Yang Yucheng looked up.

Most of the miners were hunched over, holding tools, going in and out of the caves, with baskets on their backs, filled with various Dragon Blood Stones.

Around noon, the miners placed their baskets in front of the Outer Sect Disciples.

As the weight was recorded, some were happy, some were worried.

After everything was done, they would find a place to get their lunch, to replenish their energy or rest.

Since Yang Yucheng had come here, these miners were blessed by him today, and their treatment was better than usual, which was not something Yang Yucheng had explicitly ordered.

Instead, it was the unconscious action of the nearby Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples!

After circling a few times, Yang Yucheng leisurely left and came to a pavilion prepared for him outside the mine.

Yang Yucheng sat down here, with a bowl of green jade porridge in front of him. Even the bowl was made of mid-grade spirit crystals, and inside were the flesh and blood of Spirit Venerable Realm exotic beasts, which was a monthly allocation from the Steward Hall.

Most Stewards were in the Spirit Venerable Realm, so Yang Yucheng also benefited from this!

While Yang Yucheng was enjoying his meal, He Zimu arrived and waited silently outside the pavilion.

Half a month had passed.

Although the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce still only had the insurance business, the sheer number of customers meant that the amount of spirit crystals they had accumulated in the past half-month had reached an astronomical figure.

From an initial three thousand a day, it had now increased more than tenfold in a single day!

And it was today.

He Zimu, along with several Inner Sect Disciples beside him, tallied the accounts of the business, and their hearts were filled with shock.

In just half a month, they had already earned about five hundred thousand spirit crystals, almost all of which was pure profit.

If it reached a month, wouldn’t it become a million spirit crystals, and ten million spirit crystals a year?

That a mere insurance business could grow so large was something He Zimu could never have imagined!

And today.

He came to find Yang Yucheng not just to report this good news!

As the business grew larger and the customer flow increased, no matter how much they tried to conceal it, it couldn’t be hidden forever, and eventually, some people with ulterior motives set their eyes on it!

”Is it urgent?”

Yang Yucheng finished his lunch, his tone calm.

”No matter how urgent, there’s always time for this! How dare I interrupt your meal, sir?”

He Zimu bowed his head, his Face respectful.

”Did someone come from the Steward Hall?”

Yang Yucheng raised an eyebrow, as if he had already anticipated everything that would happen after half a month.

”You are wise, sir!” He Zimu bowed his head again.

”Then let’s go and see!”

”It’s time for me, your vanguard, to show what I can do!”

He put down the green jade bowl in his hand!

Yang Yucheng was wearing the green jade robe of a Green Robe Steward today. After tidying his clothes, he followed He Zimu and soon arrived at Qingyun City.

They arrived in front of the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce was bustling with people, mostly passersby from the vicinity.

As the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce’s reputation grew over the past half-month, there were certainly many people who came to watch the spectacle today, and even many prominent figures.

And at this time.

Including these prominent figures, all turned their gaze to the White-Robed Steward in front of the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce, and those who knew the inside story spoke one after another.

”I never expected this matter to alarm him, Jiang Qingcang, who is specifically in charge of the Steward Hall’s insurance business!”

”This time, the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce is in trouble! The people from the Steward Hall should have intervened long ago. If this Chamber of Commerce wasn’t under True Disciple Su, how could the insurance business have ever been established?”

”It’s only because this insurance is now making a lot of money that the Steward Hall pays attention to it; otherwise, they might really have to give True Disciple Su some Face!”

The voices were endless!

White-Robed Steward Jiang Qingcang heard these words, and an even more arrogant expression appeared on his Face.

He snorted lightly, the contempt in his eyes making him appear even more superior. ”The person in charge of the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce, aren’t you coming out? If you don’t come out, today my people from the Steward Hall will smash your Chamber of Commerce!”

”In the future, True Disciple Su won’t be able to say anything either.”

Jiang Qingcang still had self-awareness.

He also had influential figures behind him, so even if True Disciple Su Ran came forward, he would never confront a small figure like him.

He only needed to deal with the person in charge of this Chamber of Commerce!

A business of nearly ten million spirit crystals a year.

The Steward Hall, while able to overlook it, also had the power to reclaim it!

The Inner Sect Disciple of the Tianhun Chamber of Commerce heard this and stepped forward to apologize.

”Please wait a moment, Steward Jiang. Senior Brother He has already gone to the Dragon Lair Treasure Land to invite the true person in charge. He should return quickly within a short while.”

”You mean, you want this Steward to continue waiting here?” Jiang Qingcang glared, asking in a deep voice.
