Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 490: Chapter 244: Mysterious Anchor Point

Qin Yunrou’s words left Chu Xiu speechless.

He certainly knew why the Xu Family Patriarch was making a fuss, it was nothing more than to test his authenticity.

Two hundred million Huaxia Coins was nothing for a King Tier, but if he was a fake patriarch, the declining Qin Family would likely be unwilling to spend so much money on a luxury item, and a fake wouldn’t have the guts to make the decision.

This young lady seemed truly spoiled, completely unaware of the family’s situation, daring to make such a request.

”Brother Qin, this necklace is crafted by the Jiang Family, you know the skill of the four major families in Kyoto at creating stars, even if this necklace is of average tier, its price will surely be inflated in the future, two hundred million is not expensive,” the He Family Patriarch said with a smile.

”Yes, and Yunrou is about to undertake the Fierce Tier Trial, having this necklace will provide more security, besides, the younger generation likes it, and it can be kept as a wedding dowry in the future,” the Xu Family Patriarch added with a smile.

Hearing their words, the look of anticipation in Qin Yunrou’s eyes grew even brighter.

Since the previous patriarch of the Qin Family died in the Abyss, all expenses of the Qin Family’s children have been significantly restricted, and as the daughter of the patriarch, Qin Yunrou’s spending has plummeted even more.

In the past, with her King Tier Level 9 father doting on her, spending a few million was like play, she even had several pieces of jewelry worth tens of millions, now even buying a hundred thousand dollar bag requires applying within the family! Making her unable to hold her head high in front of her sisters.

Although she wasn’t ostracized from the circle, she was no longer the center of topics among her circle of sisters, and was gradually becoming a marginal figure, coupled with the grief of losing her father, it nearly crushed her for a period of time.

She thought she had already adapted, adjusted her mindset to accept reality, but at this moment, looking at the luxurious, precious necklace before her, which was so beautiful it didn’t seem of this world, Qin Yunrou felt something that had always been suppressed in her heart surge back up.

This is something she never possessed before, not even her sisters from similarly wealthy families had such a luxury item of this level!

She’s actually a very smart girl, how could she not understand the two families seizing the opportunity to test her, but she never regarded Qin Yu as part of the Qin Family, this time she could go along with the flow, if she could really successfully obtain this necklace, then...

”No.”

However, before Qin Yunrou could indulge in a beautiful future, a cold ”no” shattered all her fantasies.

Chu Xiu, expressionless, didn’t even bother to glance at the two patriarchs and her: ”I won’t waste money on such useless things.”

After he finished speaking, Qin Yunrou was stunned, and then her eyes quickly reddened.

”This...”

The two patriarchs glanced at each other, not knowing what to say, their eyes showing strange expressions.

Chu Xiu’s behavior was really beyond their expectations, not buying was one thing, the key was that he dared to have no regard for the former patriarch’s daughter’s feelings?

Not wasting money on such useless things... Was he talking about the necklace or about Qin Yunrou?

The two of them knew how pampered this little princess was, even after her father’s death, her status hadn’t fallen much, because several elders in the family owed her father a great deal.

This actually lowered the likelihood of Qin Yu being an impostor quite a bit.

On the other hand, it seemed to indicate that even if Qin Yu was genuine, he had no feelings for the Qin Family at all, otherwise how could he be so indifferent to the younger generation’s feelings?

”But then again, maybe it’s an impostor making such an empty show of force.”

But despite their internal suspicion, the two didn’t continue probing.

Finally, as the necklace was auctioned off for 225 million, this farce also came to an end.

Qin Yunrou’s eyes were still red, Qin Xiwen and the old steward of the Qin Family looked somewhat sympathetic, while the collateral relative named Qin Chuan showed no expression.

After a few more exhibits, they came to an item Chu Xiu had pre-submitted for auction, an [Upgrade Core (Legend)], which eventually sold for 13.7 billion, leaving him quite satisfied.

With this money, he nearly had enough to purchase the materials needed for his goal.

After another ten or so lots, another piece of jewelry appeared, this time a necklace starting at just thirteen million, also crafted by jewelers of the four major families.

However, this necklace seemed more like an [Equipment] than a luxury item, also of Warrior Tier Supreme Quality, lacking a large gem but adorned with many dazzling inscriptions, while not as splendid as the [Mystery of the Ocean], it was quite appealing to girls.

The Qin Family steward glanced at the silent Qin Yunrou, then cautiously probed Chu Xiu: ”Patriarch, the attributes of this equipment are good, the young lady is about to undergo her trial, and the family has provided some funds for this auction, what do you think...”

”The funds entrusted to you by the elders, you can decide on your own,” Chu Xiu said blandly, ”but I offer you a word of advice, the potential of an Awakened is not just about talent and profession, qualities like mindset, perseverance, and decision-making, which cannot be quantified, are actually more important.”

”Those whose minds are not mature, even if they have an S-Class profession, even if they have [Legend] equipment, will still die easily in the trials.”

”The Abyss is a paradise for the bold, for those not physically and mentally prepared and not trained over a long period, the best choice is to realize their mediocrity, and never enter the Abyss, living peacefully as rich scions, otherwise it’s just a waste of the family’s investment.”
