Chapter 30 - Wealth Leaderboards (1/2)

”What wonderful tea…” Yuan mumbled after sipping the tea, feeling a little bit stronger after just a single sip.

”I'm glad you like this tea, Esteemed Guest. It's called the Phoenix Blossom Tea, a spiritual tea made by the Azure Phoenix Sect. Usually, only Elders within the Sect are allowed to enjoy this tea, but Madam Chang specifically wanted you to try it.” Na Ying said to him with a smile.

A few minutes later, Madam Chang entered the room and bowed to them.

”Thank you for being patient with this one, Esteemed Guests. I have just finished organizing your sales.”

She then placed a ring made of jade and a small red pouch on the table before them and continued, ”I have already deducted the auction house's 10% share from the income, so there is 36 million gold in the Spatial Ring from the Heaven-grade treasure and 540 gold in the Storage Pouch from the monster cores.”

”And you can keep the Spatial Ring and the Storage Pouch as well. Although it's nothing significant when compared to the Heaven-grade treasure, please consider it as a small gift from the Azure Phoenix Sect.”

Yuan picked up the jade ring and the red pouch, and a notification appeared before him.

When Yuan saw that he'd become the richest player in Cultivation Online, he didn't express much surprise. In fact, it would be more surprising if he wasn't in the first place!

”Xiao Hua, here, take this.”

After receiving the Spatial Ring, he handed it to Xiao Hua, who looked at him with a puzzled face.

”Why are you giving it to me, Brother Yuan? It's your money.”

However, Yuan shook his head and said, ”To begin with, it was your treasure that was sold, and I will feel bad for accepting this much money when it doesn't even belong to me.”

”Xiao Hua belongs to Brother Yuan. Everything in Xiao Hua's possession is also Brother Yuan's possession, so it's not weird.”

”I know, but it still doesn't feel right with me, getting so much wealth when I didn't do anything to deserve it. Keep it. But when we really need that money, we can use it.” Yuan was adamant about not accepting the 36 million gold.

He felt that it was too much money for him at his current level and that it would take away all of the fun in the game if he could buy whatever he wanted with such ease.

In fact, he even feels slightly guilty for having an overpowered companion such as Xiao Hua by his side.

However, obtaining a massive amount of resources without working for it and earning these resources by himself are two entirely different matters. Furthermore, as someone who could only rely on others to help him survive for almost his entire life, he did not want to rely too much on Xiao Hua, who resembled his real younger sister, hence why he refused the gold.

Seeing the stubbornness in Yuan's eyes, Xiao Hua ultimately nodded her head and accepted the Spatial Ring and all of the money inside.
