Chapter 1014: Chapter 716: Blazing Spirit Wine Scorches the Heavens

"I asked about the selling price, not the cost."

Shen Xuan looked at him and emphasized.

Gu Xiaoyao’s spirits lifted, and he immediately straightened his back, his voice more resonant: "If it’s the selling price, then it must be at least four hundred thousand Spirit Stones! Honest business, no deceit!"

"Hmm."

Shen Xuan nodded and turned to Lady Hu.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, please, from Tian Haoran and Qin Shiya’s Storage Pouches, count out the property worth four hundred thousand Spirit Stones and hand it over to Fellow Daoist Gu to cover the wine cost."

He paused and looked at Wu Jiajun who was steering the spaceship.

"Fellow Daoist Gu has contributed both effort and expense, so compensation is due by both sentiment and reason. Fellow Daoist Wu, what do you think?"

The couple of Zhang Bufan and Gu Xiaoyao, loosely formed a small group with Shen Xuan, advancing and retreating together.

In this cockpit, Wu Jiajun was considered the only outsider.

Wu Jiajun, hearing this, didn’t turn his head, chuckled lightly: "That’s right. With such little wealth distribution, let Shen the Pill Master decide, no need to ask me."

"Everyone’s in the same boat, discussing everything is only right."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, with a polite attitude.

In the Storage Pouches of Tian and Qin, there were barely more than twenty pieces of upper grade Spirit Stones, not enough for the count.

Lady Hu and Gu Xiaoyao together, priced the valuable Elixirs, materials, and a few decent spiritual materials inside, to reach the four hundred thousand figure, all assigned to Gu Xiaoyao.

Gu Xiaoyao looked at the suddenly abundant gains in her hands, and a smile nearly overflowed from her wrinkles.

...

An hour later, the medicinal power of "Drunken Immortal Induction" in Liang Shixing’s body dissipated, and his magical power was fully restored.

He took over the spaceship controls from Wu Jiajun.

The guards of Fuhai Commerce Alliance resumed their duties on this storm-tossed spaceship.

Seeing this, Shen Xuan, Wu Jiajun and the others conveniently exited, leaving the cockpit.

Shortly after, Liang Shixing’s voice resonated throughout the ship via the sound-transmitting array.

He solemnly thanked Shen Xuan, Tang Qingyan, Wu Jiajun, and others for stepping up during the crisis and saving the lives of all onboard and preserving the reputation of Fuhai Commerce Alliance.

As a gesture of gratitude, he announced that all passengers would be refunded thirty percent of the fare they paid.

Once the order was issued, a heartfelt cheer erupted throughout the cabin.

For most passengers who had spent all their savings to board, the tangible return of Spirit Stones was far more comforting than any hollow praise.

Of course, Liang Shixing also made a request.

To preserve the reputation of Fuhai Commerce Alliance and the existence of this secret route, the passengers should not publicize the incidents of robbery or insider chaos encountered during the journey.

Having received solid benefits, everyone naturally readily agreed.

As for the two traitors Tian Haoran and Qin Shiya, their cultivation was sealed with the Sealing Spirit Talismans, and they were strictly guarded by the Alliance’s guards, who stated they would be dealt with after being taken back to the main Alliance.

However, later that night.

The two managed to bribe a guard with the intention of escaping under the cover of darkness.

Fortunately, the captain of the guards was vigilant, immediately discovered this, and decisively led people to kill all three at the bottom of the cabin, officially declaring that the traitors and accomplice resisted capture and were executed.

Afterwards, Liang Shixing went out of his way to find Shen Xuan’s place, apologizing with a guilty look for the lax supervision which almost let the traitors escape.

Having listened, Shen Xuan nodded slightly, not saying much.

But his heart was clear.

Was it truly that Tian Haoran and Qin Shiya had such great Divine Power to bribe a guard?

Or was there someone who didn’t want them alive to the main Alliance of Fuhai Commerce, to spill more unspoken secrets, or even implicate more people?

The intricacies didn’t matter anymore.

This was the internal matter of Fuhai Commerce Alliance, and as an outsider, he couldn’t be bothered to delve deeper, nor did he intend to get involved.

The spaceship was steadily heading deeper into the territory controlled by the Human Race.

For him, the only important thing was safely reaching Myriad Phenomena Immortal City.

Several days later.

The personnel of Fuhai Commerce Alliance began to distribute the promised thirty percent fare refund one by one.

Everyone received thirty thousand Spirit Stones, a solid sum.

The cabin was instantly filled with thunderous cheers and applause.

The days of suppression and fear were somewhat alleviated by this heavy amount of Spirit Stones.

Many cultivators, holding their Spirit Stone Bags, finally showed relieved smiles.

In the quiet room, Shen Xuan ignored the outside clamor.

He was currently breaking open the Green Faced Wolf’s Storage Pouch in front of him.

With a rough scan of his Divine Sense, he knew it was plentiful.

Upon close inspection now, it was indeed a worthwhile trip.

Inside, the upper grade Spirit Stones were neatly arranged, Spiritual Light suffused; a rough count revealed over a hundred pieces, equivalent to a million Spirit Stones, a considerable sum.

"Quite a fortune indeed."

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly, a hint of regret: "It’s a pity, there’s no inheritance of Wind Attribute cultivation techniques. This beast’s Wind Escape technique was rather unique, and I was quite interested."
