"6 million?" Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this number.

The 3 million proposed before, in his view, belonged to a "sky-high price," after all, it was just appearing on a program for a few hours.

Therefore, Li Yuan's expectation in his heart was only about 2 million.

Didn't expect that Wan Qinghe could actually talk it up to 6 million Blue Star coins, simply terrifying.

"Uncle Wan, amazing." Li Yuan said sincerely.

Still need to learn more from Uncle Wan.

"You underestimate your own value." Wan Qinghe smiled on the V-message: "The first priority of negotiation is to be clear about your own value, and then to figure out the other party's bottom line."

Wan Qinghe didn't say it explicitly, but actually, he opened with 10 million Blue Star coins, and there was a high probability that Song Yi would eventually succumb.

It's just, in doing things, leave a way out for others.

If you aren't prepared to kill the other party in one wave, it's best not to force them into a corner.

"Mm-hmm." Li Yuan nodded: "Then Uncle, this money..."

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Wan Qinghe said in a low voice: "Go on the program tomorrow, as for the money... it's roughly this arrangement."

Wan Qinghe briefly told Li Yuan once.

"Guanshan District Red River Street Martial Arts Genius Development Foundation Association?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, what a backyard name.

He couldn't help but say: "Uncle, this association, is it authentic? Don't get cheated."

"Naturally it's real." Wan Qinghe said faintly: "It's filed, and Song Yi voluntarily sponsored the association, it has nothing to do with me and you, and taxes were paid."

"Finally, the association is because it was moved by your deeds, and sponsored your martial arts cultivation, it also has nothing to do with Song Yi, and personal income tax will also be paid."

"That is."

"The 6 million you finally get has nothing to do with Song Yi, complying with every regulation of the Seven Star Alliance, feel free to spend it." Wan Qinghe said.

"Understood." Li Yuan's heart was like a mirror.

Actually, this kind of private capital flow, giving it directly to himself wouldn't matter... but Song Yi has to accept the Starry Sky Martial Hall's audit, so she can't leave any traces on the surface.

"Uncle." Li Yuan "naturally" omitted one word again.

Completed the transition of address from Uncle Wan, to Uncle Wan, to Uncle.

"Why? Anything else?" Wan Qinghe smiled.

"This intermediate operation should cost money, I know there are rules." Li Yuan whispered: "How about, just follow the initial plan, give me 3 million."

"After all, the operation, management, personnel, and venue expenses of an association are very large, I'm afraid it costs over ten million a year." Li Yuan said very seriously.

Doing things according to the rules is very important.

Uncle doesn't have to say it, but he can't not mention it.

"No need, if you still call me Hall Master Wan, then it's according to the rules." Wan Qinghe said faintly: "But since you call me Uncle, I can't let you call me that in vain."

"Alright."

"You cultivate first." Wan Qinghe entrusted.

"Remember these are all small matters, your strength is the foundation."

"Right."

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, ask your teacher for leave, and follow me to the Jiangcheng City Martial Hall, the City Hall Master 'Old Fei' wants to see you."

"Yes, thanks, Uncle."

"6 million? Just like that?" Li Yuan hung up the V-message, also a bit dumbfounded.

"As expected, Uncle is right."

"The richer they are, the more ruthless they are at making money; the hardest 1 million for ordinary people to earn is the first one." Li Yuan muttered secretly.

From Wan Qinghe's operation, Li Yuan also realized that Uncle wasn't as kind and simple as he appeared on the surface.

You have to know.

How long has the other party been in office?

Even this kind of filed association has been done so perfectly.

"Everyone has their own way."

Li Yuan gripped the long spear in his hand, muttering to himself: "But the most powerful thing is always martial force."

Like Dongfang Ji, the "Starfire Martial Hall" he established went deep into every country of the seven planets in just a few decades, almost changing a large amount of rules of the Seven Star Alliance from top to bottom, how many people's interest cakes did he move?

For example, publicizing cultivation methods, the college entrance exam system, the Martial Hall contract system... did he rely on human relationships?

No! He relied on his invincible martial force! It was his determination to protect the entire human race.

Violence is the foundation and source.

The "Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement" pushed by Dongfang Ji, although there is only half a page in history textbooks, behind it, I don't know how many heads fell, I don't know how many noble families vanished into thin air.

"Martial arts."

Li Yuan put down the spear and continued to cultivate the basic cultivation method, not daring to relax for a moment.

At the same time, Li Yuan could also feel that Wan Qinghe was indeed sincere toward him.

Because the other party had reminded him more than once: "Your strength is the foundation."

In the evening, Li Yuan returned home and chatted with his younger brother and sister for a while.

They went to sleep.

"Aunt, how is Uncle?" Li Yuan asked while drinking the hot milk his aunt had made for him.

A cup of hot milk was of no use to him.

But Li Yuan understood that his rapid growth had already made his aunt somewhat unaccustomed, and this was the limited love his aunt could provide him.

Why strip it away?

This is also the reason why Li Yuan insists on returning home every day; if it were purely from the perspective of cultivation benefit, he could completely live in the Martial Hall.

But, what would his aunt think?

The purpose of cultivation is not cultivation, but family.

"The situation has improved quickly, he has been transferred to a general ward, his physical indicators have basically recovered, and the three-shift special-grade nursing staff arranged by the Martial Hall basically don't need me to wait on him." Chen Hui watched Li Yuan drink the milk, the corners of her mouth rising involuntarily; this could make her feel that this was still the nephew she was familiar with.

"Additionally, the treatment costs are basically reimbursed by the state, and the remaining part was also reimbursed by your uncle's company."

"Also, the state has an additional 'merit subsidy' for your uncle's situation, which should be about 400,000 Blue Star coins, and it should arrive within half a month." Chen Hui said.

"Mm, okay, that's good." Li Yuan nodded; the family didn't spend anything on his uncle's treatment.

Like the costs of rapid transfer by aircraft, Uncle Wan didn't let him pay either.

"Right."

"That Brother Lin last time, the treasure they brought, didn't make things difficult for you, did it?" Chen Hui couldn't help but ask.

She was present and signed at the time, and she also knew that the mysterious "Brother Lin" was the key to saving her husband.

"No."

"If you want to say a favor was owed, it was, but that was someone from the Martial Hall high-level." Li Yuan said easily: "Aunt, don't worry, I'm very powerful now, I will arrange and handle it well, when I become a Source Martial Artist in the future, these won't be problems."

Li Yuan didn't tell his aunt the truth; it didn't mean much.

But he couldn't reveal nothing either, as that would increase his aunt's psychological burden and make her prone to wild thoughts.

"That's good, must thank others properly." Chen Hui said: "Today, the hospital director told me that your uncle's body has recovered almost enough, and they are prepared to use the 'Consciousness Awakening Instrument'."

"Consciousness Awakening Instrument?" Li Yuan nodded slightly: "Okay, trust the doctors."

Nowadays, the number of vegetative patients has decreased significantly, which stems from the "Consciousness Awakening Instrument."

Its principle is similar to the "consciousness contact sensing" of the virtual network.

First, let the "vegetative patient's" consciousness enter the virtual network, and then enhance stimulation.

Finally, achieve the goal of awakening.

"Right Aunt, the Martial Hall told me that the house in Starfire Nanhu Residential Area has been cleaned and decorated again, and we can move over." Li Yuan said: "When the time comes, it will be more convenient for you to go to work, and for Qianqian and Muhua to go to the Martial Hall."

"Then this house of ours?" Chen Hui hesitated: "How about waiting until your uncle wakes up and is discharged?"

She felt a bit lost in her heart; in just a few months, the changes Li Yuan brought to the whole family were too great.

"The house here can stay as it is for now." Li Yuan smiled: "Everything that needs to be bought over there has been bought, let's go live there for a few days first to see, if you still aren't used to it, we'll move back."

"You don't have to worry."

"But for Qianqian and Muhua, cultivating and studying over there will be better." Li Yuan knew how to grasp his aunt's weak point.

"Mm-hmm, okay." Chen Hui nodded reluctantly; she didn't care much about the villa.

But she valued Li Qianqian and Li Muhua's studies very much.

Just like she used to urge Li Yuan.

"Beep~" Chen Hui suddenly felt her smart ring vibrate, looked down, and was slightly surprised: "2 million Blue Star coins?"

She had just received Li Yuan's transfer.

"Xiao Yuan, this?" Chen Hui was stunned; 2 million Blue Star coins!

This was her salary for over ten years.

"For Qianqian and Muhua." Li Yuan smiled: "Aunt, this money doesn't count for much to me anymore, this time I scored the first place in bare martial arts score in Jiangcheng City, and the City Hall Master wants to see me the day after tomorrow."

"City Hall Master?" Chen Hui held her breath; this was a big shot in her eyes.

In the past, she only saw them in the news.

"This money is mainly to give Qianqian and Muhua, especially Qianqian, a Source Power Essence Pill every two months." Li Yuan said: "Aunt, you should have seen the previous cultivation documents."

"Mm, okay." Chen Hui nodded; she had a master's degree, and her cultural level was quite good.

Very quickly.

Li Yuan went into his room to wash up.

"My nephew." Chen Hui looked at the empty milk cup on the table, lost in thought for a while.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

"Do you see?" Chen Hui muttered silently in her heart: "Xiao Yuan has really completely grown up."

Just like Li Zhangzhou hadn't forgotten.

Chen Hui had also never forgotten that she was the one holding the wailing Li Yuan, running for her life.

If it weren't for Li Yuan's parents desperately blocking the two Star Realm creatures, they definitely wouldn't have been able to escape.

You have to know.

Li Yuan's parents were both martial artists; if they wanted to escape, they would have had a much better chance than them.

Thinking and thinking.

"Aunt, why are you crying?" Suddenly a low voice rang out from the bathroom doorway.

"Uh~"

"Am I?" Chen Hui quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled: "Watched the light screen too much, my eyes are a bit uncomfortable."

Entering his room, Li Yuan sat directly into the virtual network cabin.

"Since I told Uncle Wan I could hit Meteor 300 points."

"Then let's do it as soon as possible." Li Yuan thought to himself, subconsciously sweeping a glance at his Heart Palace panel.

——

"Spear technique and movement technique have both improved a bit compared to last week, there should be hope to rush through." Li Yuan thought to himself.

"Let's start."

Li Yuan's consciousness connected, entering the Starry Sky Fighting Network, starting the Meteor segment competition.
