"Hmm, I understand."

Though I'm not yet sure what the auction at Fengyun Tower will offer, considering the status of Fengyun Tower in Ancestor Dragon City, it surely won't be ordinary items.

After all, the Treasure Pavilion within Fengyun Tower already has quite a few good things, even the Earth Spirit Pills that are priceless outside have some in stock.

After a spree of purchases, Li Feng and his companions didn't linger in Fengyun Tower, and left to return to No. 18 Zhengyang Street.

"Family Head, is it true?"

Just as they entered the door, a figure blocked the path of Li Feng and the two others. Li Feng looked towards the person in front of him, Li Batian: "What is true or not?"

"It's about how you triumphed over Shen Xing at Fengyun Tower, and won three million Golden Spirit Stones."

Li Batian replied.

Li Feng looked at Li Batian: "You already know?"

"Is it true?"

Li Batian was still a bit in disbelief. Three million Golden Spirit Stones— even at its most prosperous, the Zeng Family had never reached the level of a hundred thousand Golden Spirit Stones.

After all, while a family has income, it also has expenses, and no matter how much money there is, it's never enough for cultivation. The Zeng Family saving up thirty to forty thousand Golden Spirit Stones was already the result of generations of good management.

Being the current steward of the Li Family, sharing fortunes and woes with Li Feng, if the Li Family has money, its development should face fewer difficulties, as one of the biggest issues in the family's growth is the financial problem.

Li Feng nodded in confirmation, and Li Batian, a bit excited, was overjoyed: "That's really wonderful."

"Chief Steward Li, having more money is a good thing, but for us now, it may not necessarily be something to celebrate."

At this moment, Tian Wenxin came out from the courtyard, interrupting Li Batian's joy.

Li Feng glanced at the ice-breaking Tian Wenxin. This woman is uncommonly calm. Li Batian turned his head towards Tian Wenxin: "Oh, it's Lady Fang, I understand your concerns, but having money is always better than not having it."

"Alright, let's go inside and talk."

Li Feng interrupted the confrontation between them and went straight into the courtyard, took a seat in the main hall, looking at Li Batian and Tian Wenxin who followed inside.

"You've all heard the news."

"Yes, the news just spread. My son heard it and ran back to tell me. It's probably all over the Sixth Ring by now."

Li Batian said with a serious expression. Fengyun Tower didn't hide the news, and the news itself couldn't be concealed.

Moreover, Li Feng has been in the limelight recently, and this time, he even defeated the expert Shen Xing from the Human List and won three million Golden Spirit Stones, a piece of news that spreads easily.

"Yes, about the same." Tian Wenxin nodded, her gaze sweeping over Li Feng. She still wasn't sure if her choice was right, it had been less than a day, and this man had again refreshed her understanding.

Li Feng glanced at the two and said, "The news spreading is inevitable; I was already mentally prepared. A person with a treasured gem invites desire."

Li Batian and Tian Wenxin nodded in agreement. Although the Li Family's current strength is not as thin as before, it's still at a fourth or fifth-tier level. A fourth or fifth-tier family possessing immense wealth is like a child carrying a bag of gold coins passing through a crowd of robbers.

Especially since this wealth is exposed.

"I fear that soon, some families will be restless." Tian Wenxin sighed. This is not giving them a moment's peace.

Li Batian also looked solemn: "The immediate priority is to enhance the family's strength, but right now it's not suitable to recruit Guest Elders for tribute. However, with money, there's another path we can take, at least for emergencies."

"Oh?"

Li Feng looked towards Li Batian: "What method?"

"Purchase war slaves."

Li Batian said.

"The Death Arena of the Ninth Ring?" Li Feng thought of the Duel Arena of the Ninth Ring upon hearing the term war slaves. Last time, even though he didn't go to the Duel Arena, he still fought with the war slaves from the arena, who were all death-defying people.

These war slaves mostly cultivate forbidden techniques, which allow them to possess lethal skills.

Li Batian nodded: "Yes, indeed. The Duel Arena of the Ninth Ring is a famous slave market in Ancestor Dragon City. In this market, there are a variety of slaves. The arena trains these slaves somewhat, training males as war slaves and females as maidservants, and then selling them after training."

"And in this slave market, there's a technique to control these war slaves and maidservants, making them dare not betray."

"So some families choose to take some war slaves back for training as death soldiers, to do some shady activities."

Li Feng pondered for a moment: "The combat ability of war slaves generally isn't high, as they cultivate forbidden techniques after all."

"Family Head, the key is not the battle ability of the war slaves, but their fearlessness towards death. If you buy hundreds of them, those families that see us as easy pickings would have to consider whether they have the teeth for it."

Li Feng stroked his chin, while Li Batian seized the opportunity to say: "Family Head, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Money in hand is a burning hot potato. Spending a portion to get these war slaves will make those who have ideas about us think twice."

Tian Wenxin also agreed: "Yes, recruiting war slaves seems feasible. If the quality doesn't suffice, make up for it in quantity. Placing a few hundred war slaves will at least discourage seventy to eighty percent of the families."

Though the idea is quite bold, Tian Wenxin couldn't help but agree, as their hands hold more money than enough to tempt people, and they don't have the strength to resist those who covet it.

Seeing both of them suggest this, Li Feng also found it reasonable. Earlier, his spree of buying at Fengyun Tower was also due to this concern. Spending money means using it, otherwise, it's uncertain who this money might end up with.

"Alright, let's do it then, without delay."

With those words, Li Feng stood directly and said, "Going to the Ninth Ring, you two won't be going." Li Feng turned to look at Zi Yan and Xiao Luobing.

Xiao Luobing pouted, though displeased, didn't oppose, as the West City of the Ninth Ring was chaotic, and their strength wasn't enough, they would only become burdens.

"Let me go with Family Head; I have been to the Duel Arena's slave market, so I'm somewhat familiar. As for Chief Steward Li, you should stay to guard the home, considering the tens of thousands in wealth. Someone must stay to keep watch."

Before Li Batian could speak, Tian Wenxin interjected.

Li Batian hesitated, and Li Feng, after looking at both Li Batian and Tian Wenxin, nodded: "Then it's up to Lady Fang."

Seeing the situation, Li Batian had to stay home to guard, while Li Feng and Tian Wenxin promptly left again.

"What, Li Feng left the Sixth Ring for the Ninth Ring, are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain, our informant saw him heading to the Ninth Ring through the White Tiger Gate."

In the Yanlai Building, Zeng Jingtian listened to the informant: "Alright, I understand, continue monitoring the Li Family."

"Yes."

After the informant hurriedly left, Zeng Jingtian returned to the box behind him: "Ladies and gentlemen, no need to bother anymore. Just got the news, Li Feng has already left the Sixth Ring for the Ninth Ring. If you want to make a move, you don't have much time."
