Hearing Shen Yuanlong’s words, the smile on Hong Chengfei’s face did not fade.
“Brother Yuanlong, what are you talking about? As juniors, how can we take back what our Ancestor gave to you?”
“So what do you want… ?”
Shen Yuanlong was still vigilant.
Vaguely, he had already grasped Hong Chengfei’s true motive for coming.
Hong Chengfei smiled and said, “We just want to buy back the Violet Palace Jade that our ancestor gave you back then.
Brother Yuanlong, please don’t refuse for the sake of the Hong family.”
What did he mean by for the sake of the Hong family?
This was clearly a blatant threat.
Shen Baifei, Shen Rushuang, and the other elders looked like they were on the verge of flaring up.
Only Shen Yuanlong could barely maintain his calm.
He asked calmly, “Then what price are you willing to pay to buy the Violet Palace Jade back?”
“Ancestor…”
Shen Baifei, Shen Rushuang, and the others turned to look at him. They wanted to say something, but Shen Yuanlong waved his hand and stopped them.
Hong Chengfei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we won’t let you suffer a loss.”
After a pause, Hong Chengfei continued,
“The Hong family is willing to buy the Violet Palace Jade in your hand for 120,000 spirit stones. What do you think, Brother Yuanlong?”
“120,000 spirit stones?”
Hearing Hong Chengfei’s offer, even Shen Yuanlong could not restrain his anger, let alone Shen Baifei, Shen Rushuang, and the others.
Everyone knew that treasures like the Violet Palace Jade could help cultivators break through to the Violet Palace Realm and prevent them from dying. The price was definitely astronomical.
120,000 spirit stones was almost the floor price.
Generally speaking, the price of a Violet Palace Jade in the market or at major auctions was usually between 150,000 to 200,000 spirit stones.
It couldn’t possibly be lower than 150,000 spirit stones.
Hong Chengfei and the others were clearly not sincere at all.
Did they really think that the Shen Immortal Family was easy to bully?
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong’s expression darkened.
He looked at Hong Chengfei and said calmly,
“I’m sorry, Fellow Daoist Hong. I can’t agree to your request.
Moreover, the Violet Palace Jade is also very useful to the Shen Immortal Family, so I can’t part with it.”
Hearing Shen Yuanlong’s answer, the smile on Hong Chengfei’s face disappeared.
He looked at Shen Yuanlong and said indifferently,
“Is that so? Brother Yuanlong, are you sure you want to do this?
Don’t forget that you and your sister’s lifespan is not long. You don’t have much time left. Are you sure you want to fall out with the Hong family at this time?”
BOOM!
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong’s aura suddenly erupted.
The terrifying aura immediately made the faces of the Hong family cultivators turn pale.
Shen Yuanlong bristled up as he glared at Hong Chengfei. His voice suddenly became extremely cold.
“Hong Chengfei, are you threatening me?
Do you believe that I’ll make you unable to return?”
These words made the expressions of Hong Chengfei and the others change.
Hong Chengfei cursed in his heart.
Is this old fart crazy?
However, he had to admit that Shen Yuanlong, who was close to the end of his lifespan, was indeed someone he and the Hong family did not dare to provoke for the time being.
Everyone knew that this kind of guy who was about to die was the craziest.
Once he died in his hand, that would be a real loss.
This was not something that one or two Violet Palace Jade could make up for.
It was better not to fight him head-on first.
When he and his sister died, it would not be too late for the Hong family to settle today’s score.
Thinking of this, Hong Chengfei stopped provoking Shen Yuanlong and nodded meaningfully.
“It seems that I came at the wrong time today. In that case, I won’t disturb you anymore. However, if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time.”
With that, Hong Chengfei and the others did not stay any longer. They turned around and left.
Hong Wentao, who had just left the Splendid Jade Mountain with Hong Chengfei, could not help but say,
“Ancestor, isn’t the Shen Immortal Family too tactless? They actually dare to reject the Hong family. Are we going to let this matter go?”
“Or what? Are you going to teach them a lesson? Go ahead.”
Hong Chengfei turned to look at Hong Wentao and said angrily,
“Do you really think that old fart won’t dare to fall out with us even if we force him to a corner?
Or do you think that under such circumstances, we can still use the Hong family to bluff him?”
These words rendered Hong Wentao speechless. He immediately nodded and said,
“Ancestor, you’re right.”
“Hmph!”
Hong Chengfei snorted coldly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said,
“Just wait. When that old fart and his sister are gone, I want to see how those juniors of the Shen Immortal Family can support a huge family.”
On the other side.
After Hong Chengfei and the others left, Shen Yuanlong’s aura collapsed and his face turned pale.
This immediately shocked Shen Baifei, Shen Rushuang, and the others. Everyone hurriedly asked with concern,
“Ancestor, are you alright?”
Shen Yuanlong waved his hand.
“I’m fine.”
After a pause, Shen Yuanlong continued,
“Pass down the order. Sell all the medicinal shops and Dharma artifact shops of the Shen Immortal Family in the Ganyang Sect. It’s enough to leave only one or two. Use the spirit stones we exchanged to buy the cultivation resources we need.”
“Ancestor…”
Hearing Shen Yuanlong’s arrangement, the Shen family members present were all shocked.
If they really sold all their shops in the Ganyang Market, leaving only one or two, then the Shen family would lose at least 30,000 to 50,000 spirit stones every year.
This was definitely a serious loss.
However, Shen Yuanlong seemed to have made up his mind and said in a low voice,
“Why? Didn’t you hear my order? Do I need to repeat myself?”
Everyone was shocked and immediately said that they did not dare.
Seeing this, Shen Yuanlong softened his tone and continued,
“Hurry up. I’m afraid that if we’re late, it’ll be impossible for us to sell those shops at a normal price..”
