The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 447: Hestia Comes To The Red Demon Continent
“Division Head Xia, how many resources do we have?” Lu Sulan asked a cold-looking woman.
Xia Xinyue took out a piece of documents from her storage ring and placed it on the table for everyone to see. “Our Heavenly Sword Tower has collected four billion True Crystals, eight hundred million Blood Stones, two hundred and fifty God Stones, ..”
“... Most of our wealth comes from the sale of the Pill Division as well as the spoils of war from all the great sects and powers we have fought against. Is Division Head Lu enough?” Xia Xinyue asked Lu Sulan with a smile.
Xia Xinyue and Lu Sulan were both from the Frozen Cloud Sect so they were quite familiar with each other. However, it is better to maintain a professional attitude during meetings, so despite being close as sisters, they refer to each other by their position.
Lu Sulan and the other Division Heads were shocked when they heard his words. They had never had that much wealth before! The only one who could remain calm was Qi Hongtian, the Head of the Pill Division.
“That's more than enough, Division Head Xia! I thought we needed to borrow money from the Bloodfallen Family, but it seems I underestimated the wealth we have accumulated.” Lu Sulan smiled at Xia Xinyue. From the looks of it, he no longer needed to visit the Bloodfallen Family…
Xia Xinyue took back the document and stored it inside her outer space ring as she asked. “How much do you need for this auction?”
Lu Sulan furrowed his brows as he counted in his mind. He was unsure of the exact value of the Poison Valley region. “To be honest, I am also not sure how vast the land is, but to be safe, I will bring two billion True Crystals and five hundred million Blood Stones with me.”
“Isn't that too much, Senior Brother?” Can Ye subconsciously exclaim.
Lu Sulan glanced at him and replied in a calm voice. “I know, but we have to make sure that we're going to get that piece of land. I'll return the rest of the money after the auction.” He then turned towards Xia Xinyue and said.
“Please get the resources of Division Head Xia. We will leave as soon as we have everything ready. Also, please bring Sister Hestia here. He had been guarding the master shop in Beltran City all this time. Get an Elder to replace him. No one would be stupid enough to cause trouble there.”
Xia Xinyue nodded in understanding. “No problem. I'll bring him here.” He then went to the Teleportation Array Formation.
“Good. Everyone, you can go back to your posts. May, you guys stay here.” Lu Sulan delayed the meeting and everyone immediately left the second floor. Only Can Ye and Lu Sulan were left there.
“Senior sister, how are the disciples? I have not seen some of them after they went to join in the war.” Can Ye asked as he looked at his elder sister. Can Ye was the Division Head of the Mission Hall and he was quite busy with his work, so he could not join the war.
“No need to worry about them. None of them died and only a few were seriously injured, but they were fine now. By the way, how's your cultivation?” Lu Sulan glanced at his younger brother with a probing look. This fellow was very diligent with his cultivation, but he was not sure how strong he became.
Lu Sulan's face twitched as he felt his aura. This guy is really after him! His cultivation speed was much slower than others due to his unique cultivation and physical techniques. However, even though his cultivation level was similar to Can Ye, he knew that he could defeat him in just a few moves!
Thinking of this, Lu Sulan felt a little better.
“Feel arrogant, huh? How about arguing with me then?” Lu Sulan smiled coldly as he glared at Can Ye.
“Cannot be! Ahaha! I mean, I haven't stabilized my cultivation since I just broke through. Don't talk about this.” Can Ye sweats bullets. He ignored Lu Sulan's gaze and closed his eyes as if he was in a meditative state.
Lu Sulan laughed in his heart when he saw her acting like this.
About an hour later, Xia Xinyue returned with the red-haired beautiful woman following behind her.
“Sister Hestia!”
“Alder Hestia!”
Lu Sulan and Can Ye greeted the woman behind Xia Xinyue. It's been a while since they last met. Hestia had been guarding Jiu Shen's shop in Beltran City all this time and she rarely came to visit the Heavenly Sword Tower.
Hestia smiled at the two. “Hello, you two. Why did you call me here? Did the master call me?” She asked.
Lu Sulan shook his head. “No. Sir didn't say anything. You've been guarding the master's shop all this time, Sister Hestia. I'd like to take you to the auction for a change of pace. Don't worry about the store. I've asked Division Head Xia to replace your position.”
Hestia was a little disappointed when she heard the answer, but she did not show it to her face. “So. Doesn't matter. I am also interested in the Red Demon Continent, so I don't mind coming with you guys. I heard this place is ruled by demons.”
Hestia's eyes blinked when she mentioned the word ‘setan’, but the word instantly disappeared so no one noticed anything.
“You are right, Elder Hestia! I also want to see these demons by myself. I've been busy with the affairs of the Mission Hall all this time.. Now I can finally see what this place looks like!” Can Ye said excitedly.
