Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2015 - 1997: H—How Many...?
On the Qin Family’s side, the family head, Qin Aotian, sat in the room with the elders to discuss the matter.
"Elders, how many spirit stones do you think our Qin Family should contribute?" Qin Aotian asked the elders. Fang Yan needed spirit stones, and this was no small matter. Too few would not express the Qin Family’s sincerity, but too many would be difficult for the family to manage. This was a family matter that required discussion with the elders.
"Family Head, given Fang Yan’s current position and the achievements he helped Kun’er reach, I personally believe the Qin Family should give everything it can. You must know, with Fang Yan’s potential, his future achievements are unimaginable. If we can make him owe the Qin Family a favor now, he could become our protector in the future!"
The Great Elder Qin Li, dressed in a blue robe, spoke up. He had already seen Fang Yan’s potential and knew it was beyond ordinary people’s imagination. Befriending Fang Yan at this time, even if it meant using all the Qin Family’s assets, was worth it!
Even though Fang Yan was young, he was already at the Human Immortal Realm and could defeat Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses. Given time, who knows what great heights he could reach? Such a favor from a super powerhouse is rare, and any price is worth it!
"Family Head, I think the same. We must do our utmost! Fang Yan likely needs to auction something; otherwise, he wouldn’t ask Kun’er for help. We can’t be careless about this. Not to mention earning a favor from Fang Yan, even his help in developing Kun’er’s talents, turning him into an unparalleled being among his peers, is a debt we must repay."
Another elder stood up to speak, expressing a sensible opinion. Without Fang Yan, Kun’er, with his natural talent, wouldn’t have reached the Human Immortal Realm now. And Kun’er was not only at the Human Immortal Realm, but at the Middle Stage as well, thanks entirely to Fang Yan. Kun’er was only twenty-two, and at this pace, he’d reach the Earth Immortal Realm in just a few years. A thirty-year-old Earth Immortal would be unprecedented in the Divine Sword Mountain Range’s prominent families!
If they didn’t reciprocate this kindness, it would be too costly to let Fang Yan misunderstand the Qin Family. Their understanding of Fang Yan suggests that if the Qin Family gives all, Fang Yan will definitely remember this kindness, a fortune too good to pass up, even if it costs everything!
"Family Head, Fang Yan’s matters are our Qin Family’s matters. Kun’er follows Fang Yan, so we should help with all our might!"
"I think so too; it concerns the Qin Family’s future. Fang Yan will become a super powerhouse, offering help in hardship is the right path!"
"Family Head, there’s no need to consider anything else; our Qin Family should give our all!"
...
The other elders echoed, fully supporting the decision. Given the current situation, they wouldn’t have any other thoughts. They saw Fang Yan’s potential from the start and confirmed the family’s path, leaving them only to express their stance now.
What’s a few spirit stones anyway, considering the Qin Family’s scale? Their annual income is already significant, so it doesn’t hinder the Qin Family’s progress. Compared to earning Fang Yan’s favor, these spirit stones are trivial!
"Alright, this matter is settled. I will immediately order an inventory of spirit stones and send all to Kun’er!" Hearing no objections from the elders, Qin Aotian smiled and rose to arrange the matter.
Truthfully, he wasn’t sure how many spirit stones the family had, and he’d also need to request some from affiliated smaller families, ensuring ample spirit stone preparation for whatever Fang Yan was auctioning; they couldn’t afford to embarrass themselves...
Meanwhile, on the Wu Family’s side, similar discussions unfolded. Curiously, both the Wu and Qin Families had identical decisions, with the Wu Family even more anxious that the Qin Family might contribute more spirit stones. The Wu Family emptied its stores, even selling off less important treasures for spirit stones.
Soon, the entire Divine Sword Mountain Range was in chaos. The Wu and Qin Families seemed to be competing, frantically gathering spirit stones to extreme levels, causing other families in the mountain range to go wild. The mountain range had only four prominent families, and these two occupied most of the territory—one move affected all. Their actions couldn’t remain hidden, leading to all families wondering what the Wu and Qin Families were doing and why they needed so many spirit stones!
In the Wu Family, the family head Wu Lengping frowned at the news. From his understanding of the Qin and Wu Families, such actions indicated something significant had happened, yet he couldn’t figure out why!
Contemplating, he suddenly had a thought: Qin Kun of the Qin Family and Wu Shan of the Wu Family were Fang Yan’s close followers. Perhaps Fang Yan needed the spirit stones—this explanation made sense.
But he couldn’t fathom why Fang Yan needed so many spirit stones, making him restless. Information had it that Fang Yan had gone on a mission with the Holy Soul Sect, but no one knew what was happening. Yet, he knew odd moves signified something significant, so this must be investigated!
"Find out Fang Yan’s whereabouts and determine what he plans to do!" Wu Lengping ordered a man in black at the door. This matter was too important, and he needed answers quickly.
With the order given, the man in black disappeared outside the door...
On the other side, the Fang Family was in a different state. Since Fang Yan left with Fang Le’er, the Family Head had changed. The new Family Head, Fang Qi, looked at the situation with a bitter smile.
A highly intelligent man known as the family strategist, he wasn’t interested in power. If not for the family’s insistence, he’d never have wanted to be the head.
From the information he received, he instantly understood the reason: Fang Yan needed help, but even if the Fang Family sent spirit stones, Fang Yan wouldn’t accept them. Fang Tianhan’s past actions had pushed such an extraordinary talent away, costing the Fang Family a chance for prosperity!
Now, the matter was settled, and trying to recover was futile. Sighing, he hesitated but decided to visit the family patriarch, Fang Pu.
After hearing Fang Qi’s analysis, Fang Pu sighed deeply, wishing he could punish Fang Tianhan severely. Fang Tianhan’s favoritism and petty thoughts had driven Fang Yan, a genius, away. If he had seen Fang Tianhan’s nature earlier, things would not have reached this point!
Regret filled Fang Pu’s heart, but there was nothing he could do now. He could only tell Fang Qi, "From now on, you handle family affairs. Unless it’s important, don’t disturb me, I’m tired..."
Fang Pu truly felt exhausted. He had held the family for nearly two hundred years, to see its rise missed due to his oversight, something he didn’t want. But it was now like this, and he had no solutions. The will of heaven is unavoidable...
......
The next day, the sky was clear, and the weather surprisingly good, with sunshine illuminating all!
But Qin Kun and Wu Shan were uneasy. In their room, they were extremely anxious, as it was the first time Boss Fang Yan had asked for help. Though they intended to handle it well, no one from the family had delivered the spirit stones yet, making them restless!
With less than two to three hours left before the auction began, they were like ants in a hot pan, wondering why no one had come yet. Delaying Boss’s matters would spell disaster.
But despite their anxiety, they could only wait. They had already informed their families, and the bearer of the spirit stones was en route to the Holy Soul Sect...
As they anxiously fretted, with only one hour left, the room door opened, and two sweat-drenched elders rushed in—the Qin Family’s Great Elder Qin Li and the Wu Family’s Great Elder Wu Fang.
"Young master, I’m here!"
"Young master, so am I!"
Qin Li and Wu Fang were anxious, afraid of delaying Fang Yan’s affairs. They rushed all the way and finally made it before the auction. It wasn’t their fault; only two hours before, they realized time couldn’t drag on, prompting both families to hand the gathered spirit stones to them. Luckily, they barely made it in time, and with one hour left, it was cutting it close!
"Great Elder, hand it over quickly!" Qin Kun said to Qin Li, reaching for what was in Qin Li’s possession.
"Young master, here you go!" Qin Li didn’t say much, handing over five space bags to Qin Kun, adding, "The time was short for the family to gather as much as we could—500,000 spirit stones. Hope it’s enough."
Qin Li spoke with trepidation, uncertain what Fang Yan intended to auction, but 500,000 was all the Qin Family could muster. With more time, they might have gathered more, but this was it for now.
But hearing this, Qin Kun was stunned and exclaimed, "How... much?"
