Chapter 824: Ten Billion Secured

“This seems more like a formation—an endless source for refining Saint Yang Pills. Even the Wutong Divine Tree couldn’t rival this. In just a single breath, the quantity of Saint Yang Pills produced is absolutely immense.”

At this moment, Lin Fan had already collected two million Saint Yang Pills. If he were to take all the pills stored within this treasure vault, it would easily surpass ten million. However, taking everything would likely provoke the wrath of the Dragon Ancestor God.

Though Lin Fan had a thick skin, even he hesitated to completely empty the entire vault in one go.

Lin Fan floated into the air, his palm gently touching the gaping maw of the giant dragon.

“Ding! Celestial Dragon Formation: the dwelling place of the Dragon Clan’s ancestral spirits across generations, absorbing Saint Spirit Qi and condensing it into Saint Yang Pills.”

“These Dragon Ancestors sure have a rough deal,” Lin Fan muttered, smirking. “Even in death, they can’t rest in peace—they have to keep refining Saint Yang Pills day after day.”

At the same time, Lin Fan felt somewhat disappointed. Originally, he had hoped to set up the Celestial Dragon Formation within his own realm, but now it seemed impossible. After all, where else would he find the ancestral spirits of the Dragon Clan? If he emptied this place, the Dragon Clan would surely come after him for revenge.

Forget it. Just give it one last try.

With a single motion of his hand, Lin Fan absorbed an entire million Saint Yang Pills into his realm. Then he paused, silently waiting. If they were unhappy, they would surely cough lightly as a signal. At that point, he would know to leave gracefully and avoid any trouble.

Outside!

“Just look at him. That greedy human has taken another million. That’s three million Saint Yang Pills now,” the Dragon Ancestor God said painfully. Three million—it was an astronomical fortune for the Dragon Clan.

Although the Dragon Clan was immensely wealthy, this treasure had been accumulated over countless generations.

“What are you worrying about? Are my son and three grandsons not worth three million Saint Yang Pills?” Purple Phoenix said calmly.

“No, my dear wife. This human is simply too greedy. If we don’t stop him, he might take everything,” the Dragon Ancestor God, despite his immense cultivation, felt a sharp pang in his heart as so many pills were taken.

Although Junior was his son, there should at least have been some time to build a relationship gradually.

“So what if he takes it all? Does our Dragon Clan lack the magnanimity to tolerate this? He raised our children and grandchildren with such care. If it were three million Saint Yang Pills or even all of them, I would still be willing to give,” Purple Phoenix replied.

The Dragon Ancestor God looked at his wife, speechless. She was being too sentimental. If everything was taken, how would they survive in the future?

But to avoid angering his wife, he swallowed his words and fixed Lin Fan with a sharp glare.

If Lin Fan dared to take even more, he would fight him to the death.

“Huh, strange. They haven’t stopped me yet. It seems like they’re allowing me to take a little more,” Lin Fan thought, surprised at how generous the Dragon Clan was being.

If he had known the Dragon Clan was this generous earlier, he would never have tricked them. He would have surely built a good relationship with them.

Lin Fan gazed at the vast sea of Saint Yang Pills below. Just a glance told him there were still at least ten million left.

He was still 5.4 million short of ten million. Should he just go ahead and take it all?

“Hey, big bro, what are you doing? Why aren’t you taking anything?” At that moment, Junior flew over, flapping his wings.

Lin Fan and Junior exchanged glances, silently communicating. After a moment, Lin Fan nodded, and Junior nodded too.

“Big bro, don’t worry. This is my home now. I’ve found my parents. Their things are my things. If you like Saint Yang Pills, just take as many as you want.”

Then, Junior spread his wings and flapped powerfully, creating a fierce gale. Dozens of Saint Yang Dragon-like streams were drawn into the air, swirling toward Lin Fan’s realm.

“Big bro, this is my gift to you. Let’s go now.”

Without waiting for Lin Fan to say more, Junior immediately flew toward the exit.

Outside, the Dragon Ancestor God nearly spat out a mouthful of blood upon witnessing this.

“What a wastrel… I… I…” The Dragon Ancestor God trembled, unable to bear the loss.

“What are you doing? Our son is giving a gift for the first time. Don’t you support him?” Purple Phoenix glared at the Dragon Ancestor God, clearly displeased.

“Wife, you can’t indulge him like this! Although we are wealthy, we can’t afford to give away so much. No, I must intervene and stop this. This is a quarter of all our Saint Yang Pills!” The Dragon Ancestor God lamented bitterly.

“Fine then. Go ahead. But once you do, I’ll take my son and return to my parents’ home. The Dragon Clan may not be able to provide, but the Phoenix Clan certainly can,” Purple Phoenix said calmly.

“I…” The Dragon Ancestor God looked at his wife’s expression and knew she wasn’t joking. With a helpless sigh, he realized that gaining a son had come at too great a cost.

At this moment, Lin Fan was filled with excitement—ten million Saint Yang Pills had finally been collected.

Even the most powerful ancient clans couldn’t rival the Dragon Clan’s wealth.

Thinking about it, the Dragon Clan had been accumulating treasures across countless generations. How could they compare to ordinary supreme beings?

As they approached the exit, a ripple of light enveloped Lin Fan and Junior. When they reappeared, Lin Fan could already see the Dragon Ancestor God’s pained expression.

“Thank you, thank you.”

After taking so many treasures, Lin Fan naturally expressed his gratitude politely.

“It’s said that the Dragon Ancestor God is broad-minded and generous. Indeed, I’ve taken too many Saint Yang Pills. Perhaps I should return some,” Lin Fan said.

“Great! Great!” The Dragon Ancestor God nearly shouted in his heart, hoping Lin Fan would return the pills immediately.

“No need. This is a gift from the Dragon Clan. Please accept it,” Purple Phoenix smiled, then added meaningfully, looking at the Dragon Ancestor God, “Husband, what do you think?”

“Ahh!” The Dragon Ancestor God looked at his wife, then at Lin Fan. Finally, he closed his eyes slightly and nodded heavily. “That’s right. This is a gift from the Dragon Clan.”

As he spoke those words, the Dragon Ancestor God felt as if his heart had been pierced. That bittersweet feeling was strangely exhilarating.

Within less than an hour, several million Saint Yang Pills were gone, and he had gained a son and three grandsons.

Was there anyone else in heaven and earth who could compare to him?

“Thank you, thank you.”

Lin Fan was overjoyed—this was truly a fortune falling from the sky. In fact, when he first brought Junior to meet his parents, he had already planned to take a share.

And indeed, he had taken quite a lot.

Now, he couldn’t help but wonder—what would happen when he brought Junior to the Phoenix Clan next? That thought made Lin Fan feel even more excited.
