Chapter 450: Gifting a Mine

"Care to guess the foundation of the four sects?"

Ice Emperor walked to Xiao Han's side, smiling as he took out a scroll; on it was the statistical foundation of the former Spirit Heaven Four Sects, now the Langya Heavenly Palace.

Because the four sects had such vast estates and businesses, this task had continued for dozens of days without ending, and they had only managed to tally the most critical aspects, including the treasury's wealth and the cultivation levels of the sect members.

Hearing this, Xiao Han revealed a knowing smile.

"Since you can say it like that, it seems the foundation of the four sects is even more abundant than we imagined!"

"More than just abundant!"

Ice Emperor tossed the scroll into Xiao Han's arms and introduced it with great excitement:

"In terms of wealth, just the Supreme Spiritual Liquid alone is nearly five billion..."

"Thump!"

Ice Emperor looked toward the sound, only to see Xiao Han's eyes wide open, the scroll in his hand having rolled onto the ground unconsciously.

"Make yourself clear."

"Five... billion?!"

Xiao Han's tone trembled, filled with thick shock, doubting if he had gone crazy from poverty and misheard the number.

"That's right."

Ice Emperor understood Xiao Han's reaction very well; thinking back to when he first received this pile of numbers, he hadn't fared much better.

What was the concept of five billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid?

The entire net worth of some veteran Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn't even reach this figure.

Moreover, this was only public property; if one were to scrape every person in the sect, this number would likely multiply several times over.

However, Xiao Han would certainly not do such a bastardly thing as draining the pond to catch the fish.

"Hoo—"

Letting out a long sigh, Xiao Han couldn't help but exclaim,

"As expected of Spirit Array Masters!"

No wonder people in the Great Thousand World held special professions like Alchemists and Spirit Array Masters in such high regard; although they spent a lot of money, once they mastered their craft, they were veritable money-sucking beasts!

After all, which power didn't need the support of Spirit Arrays?

The establishment of every power was a big business; the inherent uniqueness of the Ling Tian Continent gave them the ability to earn money from all the surrounding continents, not to mention those who came seeking their reputation.

"And..."

Ice Emperor continued to output surprises,

"You definitely won't guess it!"

"Besides ordinary Sacred Objects, the Dongling Sect and North Shadow Palace actually each collected a Peerless Sacred Object."

"Peerless Sacred Object?!"

Xiao Han's voice rose by eight degrees; he was simply stunned.

Peerless Sacred Objects were for Heavenly Sovereigns to use; even the lowest-level Spirit Grade Peerless Sacred Object wasn't something every Heavenly Sovereign could equip.

As a result...

A few sects that didn't even have a Heavenly Sovereign had actually hidden two Peerless Sacred Objects!

Xiao Han felt fortunate for the good luck of North Shadow Palace and the Dongling Sect.

Once this news leaked out, even if the four families joined forces, they wouldn't be able to withstand the greed of others!

At the same time, he was exceptionally gratified; since Yang Ling and the others were willing to inform him of the existence of the Peerless Sacred Objects, it was clear they had no intention of playing any tricks.

"Tell them to keep the news of these two Peerless Sacred Objects hidden for now; after the trip to the Huan Continent ends, they can use them openly."

If it were the former Spirit Heaven Four Sects, the outcome of privately hiding Peerless Sacred Objects wouldn't be too good, but once Langya Heavenly Palace made a name for itself, who would dare come knocking to court disaster over a mere two Peerless Sacred Objects?

"Hmm... are there any others?"

Xiao Han prepared to receive new surprises.

But Ice Emperor's reaction was relatively flat, "The current Langya Heavenly Palace is quite wealthy in terms of Spiritual Artifacts, Divine Artifacts, Holy Artifacts, and Array Diagrams."

Xiao Han was not surprised by this; excluding the Dongling Sect, which was famous for its artifacts, it would be strange if Spirit Array Masters, who were weak in combat, didn't have some protective gear.

As for Array Diagrams, if a Spirit Array Master didn't have Array Diagrams, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

"Are there any Grandmaster-level Array Diagrams?" Now, only this level of Array Diagram could catch Xiao Han's eye.

"There are, and quite a few."

Ice Emperor thought for a moment and replied:

"Each sect has about two Grandmaster-level Array Diagrams, and West Profound Gate even has one Immortal Grade Array Diagram."

Although Array Diagrams were equally precious, they had very high requirements for the level of the Spirit Array Master.

Against the backdrop where the number of Spirit Array Grandmasters was far fewer than Heavenly Sovereigns, the control wasn't as strict as it was for Peerless Sacred Objects; therefore, with some effort, the four sects had collected some over the past few thousand years.

Landlords, absolute landlords!

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched secretly; if not for the fact that the four sects had already joined his command, he would have wanted to go rob them himself.

"Their strength is also far beyond other sects of the same level," Ice Emperor continued.

"There are thirteen High-level Spirit Array Masters alone, plus five Great Perfection Earth Sovereigns; the total number of Spirit Array Masters is no less than two hundred, and the remaining Spirit Array Masters are countless."

This was a very terrifying number; the rest was fine, but the key lay in the number of Great Perfection Earth Sovereigns and High-level Spirit Array Masters.

Nearly twenty of them; many super powers' Great Perfection Earth Sovereigns couldn't reach this number by a long shot, not to mention that the vast majority here were the even more precious High-level Spirit Array Masters.

"It can be said that the original Spirit Heaven Four Sects only lacked a Heavenly Sovereign-level combatant to become a true super power."

"So, we came, didn't we?"

Xiao Han laughed; having learned of the current foundation of Langya Heavenly Palace, his mood relaxed significantly.

"That's right."

"We are now a super power."

When Xiao Han and the other returned, the great hall was still erupting in arguments over the previous tally.

"Elder Yang, I never expected it; you really are a 'starving camel that's still bigger than a horse,' your sect is quite wealthy!"

Qian Sha of the South Blade Pavilion rolled his eyes at Yang Ling and mocked.

"Hehe~"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare; your South Blade Pavilion hasn't done little in the way of 'robbing the rich to help the poor' either!"

Yang Ling emphasized the four words "robbing the rich to help the poor" with particular weight, because the South Blade Pavilion, which had never been known for its financial strength, had actually produced one billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid all at once this time, and who knows how much of that had been sucked from the former Dongling Sect.

Beside them, Tai Yun and You Ye kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, looking as if they knew nothing at all.

At this moment, they were also shocked, shocked by the financial strength of the other three houses; they had thought they had hidden their own wealth well enough, but who would have thought...

All four houses are full of schemers!

Especially the two houses that brought out the Peerless Sacred Objects; it was simply terrifying.

"Everyone is quite spirited!"

Xiao Han's greeting, accompanied by a faint smile, rang out in the great hall.

"Palace Master!"

Yang Ling and the others greeted him in unison.

"You all have truly given me a great surprise!"

Xiao Han first sighed with emotion; thinking of the current wealth of Langya Heavenly Palace, he could not help but feel a jolt of shock.

"Since you all have spared no expense, I, Xiao Han, cannot fail to make a gesture; how can the new sect be without a contribution from me, its Sect Master?"

As the words fell.

The others could not help but become curious; with Xiao Han's strength, what exactly would he bring out?

It surely wouldn't be cheap goods; that would be better than being stingy.

"A super-large Nine Nether Jade Vein!"

Amidst the curiosity of the crowd, Xiao Han slowly spat out his answer.

"It's worth about several billion."

Everyone was stunned.
