C9 Sufficient Funds

"There's two specks of light.... He really has broken through to the Intermediate Body Tempering Realm!"

"Su Lang must have been hiding his true strength. He could definitely have broken through to the Intermediate Body Tempering Realm a while ago."

"Wait a minute.... Then why did he only come to receive the Initial Body Tempering Realm allowance now?"

"If he had broken through to the Initial Body Tempering Realm a while ago, why did he not come to receive his reward for his breakthrough earlier? How could anyone have endured the reward? This must be fake!"

"But the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi emitted from his body proved that he had indeed broken through. After all, I have seen this fluctuation happen many times before. There's no way that my eyes were mistaken!"

"In that case, he must really have broken through to the Intermdiate Body Tempering Realm! Yang Shi has suffered a huge loss!"

"How unfortunate for Yang Shi to encounter such a ridiculous thing."

"The bet would not have taken place if Yang Shi didn't mock him in the first place."

"Haha, you're right."

"..."

Everyone fell into discussions of their own before shifting the gazes towards Yang Shi.

"Sir Quasi Martial Cultivator, could you possibly be thinking of dismissing the bet?"

Su Lang smiled coldly at Yang Shi and said, "Please give me 50 gold coins and fulfill the second part of the bet."

"God damn it! So what if you have broken through to the Intermediate Body Tempering Realm?"

"It is also a normal occurrence for someone to break through to that realm at the age of twenty!"

"Su Lang, you are still nothing but a piece of trash in my presence! Humph!"

Yang Shi lifted out a Spirit Stone from his pocket reluctantly before pushing it towards Su Lang's chest and taking his leave.

As for running three laps around the Union House naked while shouting, 'I am a genius', he simply could not bear to do such a thing nor did he dare to do so either.

If he ends up doing that, not only would his reputation be ruined, but the entire Yang Family would end up be ridiculed by others.

At that time, Yang Shi would have to face a miserable fate.

Therefore, he would rather give Su Lang a Low-Grade Spirit Stone worth 100 gold coins than fulfill the second bet.

"You better dismiss the second part of the bet after receiving this Spirit Stone. Anyway, you better not let me bump into you again in the future."

Su Lang looked at Yang Shi's departing figure and sneered disdainfully.

Then, Su Lang turned to look at the woman with heavy makeup on the other side of the reception window and said, "Hey, old witch. Quickly hand over the reward for breaking through to the Intermediate Body Tempering Realm. Update my identity card while you're at it too."

This unexpected incident was all instigated by this woman in the first place. While he may have earned himself an item worth 100 gold coins, he was still extremely cross with her previous actions.

"Humph!"

The woman with heavy makeup threw out 20 gold coins and Su Lang's identity card in a huff before stating, "Don't forget that you're simply an ordinary person. Since you have offended Young Master Yang, you're going to die for sure. Now, get out of the way and stop blocking the rest of the line.

"Tsk, tsk. With that attitude of yours, you're bound to die sooner or later anyways!"

Su Lang's eyes were filled with ridicule. He stored back the Spirit Stone, gold coins, and his identity card before taking his leave from the main hall of the Union House.

"It seems that Yang Shi has some sort of backing."

On the way, Su Lang spun the Spirit Stone in his hand.

The Spirit Stone, a unique energy crystal, was known as a natural treasure produced after the recovery of Spiritual Qi. It served as an important resource for one's cultivation.

Other than that, Spirit Stones could be cut or ground according to one's wishes. During that process, they could also be cut and polished into the standard size and used as a high-end currency.

Under normal circumstances, Spirit Stones would only circulate between martial cultivators or powerhouses of the higher realms.

Furthermore, Spirit Stone were also divide into different grades depending on its quality, which included low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Low-Grade Spirit Stones were usually worth 100 gold coins. This exchange rate remained consistent no matter where you went in the world.

The Spirit Stone currently in Su Lang's hand was one of low grade.

"After exchanging this Spirit Stone for gold coins, I would have a total of 161 gold coins. It would be more than enough to raise the One-Click Cultivation Function to Level 2. Hahaha!"

Imagining how his cultivation speed would double without having the need to do anything else, Su Lang shivered with utmost excitement as he suddenly had the urge to roar towards the sky.

Suddenly.

[Host, the system can provide functions for storing your currency, exchanging items for currency, and withdrawing your funds — all of which are free to use.]

"What?!"

Su Lang jumped in astonishment upon hearing those words.

By utilizing the functions of the system, not only would he be able to spend less time looking for the best exchange rates, but he would not even need to worry about the processing fees.

"System, immediately exchange this Spirit Stone for gold coins!"

With a thought, the Spirit Stone vanished form Su Lang's hands.

In the upper left corner of the mysterious black space, the symbol of a gold coin popped up, followed by a note of 100.

[Ding! Exchange successful, does the Host wish to deposit the rest of the gold coins into the system storage?]

"Deposit!"

With a single nod and acknowledgment, the gold coins in his bag disappeared and the number of gold coins in the storage of the system increased to a total of 161.
