Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Yunping immediately raised his voice, "I just want to say one thing—"

"The Northern Ice Palace cannot provide these things!"

……

Fang Qingzhu slapped her forehead. Oh no, how could this old rogue have blurted out the truth?

Even Li Xuanfei was taken aback. He knew that the Northern Ice Palace couldn't provide so much, but he never expected that the old rogue would actually tell the truth like that.

What operation is required?

"Sir, are you saying you're not going to give us an explanation?!"

Even if you don't understand it, you still have to argue with people.

Li Xuanfei immediately seized the opportunity and launched into a barrage of attacks on this very question.

The old rogue looked astonished. "When did I say I wouldn't give them an explanation?"

"Didn't you just say that the Northern Ice Palace couldn't afford it? Doesn't that mean all these remaining transaction contracts are null and void?"

"Who told you that? My friend, please don't overinterpret what I'm saying. Your behavior would definitely get you a failing grade in our Chinese class."

Chinese class?

what is that?

Li Xuanfei was a little confused by Yun Ping's words. He shook his head and said, "Sir, could you please stop trying to confuse us like this? It's pointless."

"Are you out of your mind?"

Without saying a word, Yunping started spewing insults, behaving no differently from a thug.

More importantly, he didn't give Li Xuanfei any chance to refute. Just as Li Xuanfei was blushing and craning his neck to fight back, he suddenly opened his mouth and blocked Li Xuanfei's words.

It almost choked Li Xuanfei to death.

"I only said that the Northern Ice Palace couldn't give it to you. When did I say that all your contracts were null and void? Which ear did you hear that from?"

"I heard it with both ears." Li Xuanfei also raised his voice, looking determined not to give up. "Tell me, you say the Northern Ice Palace can't provide it, and you say the contract won't be voided, then tell me, where are we going to get so many supplies and materials?"

"Who told you to do it?"

Yunping glanced at the people below, and then uttered a sentence that startled everyone so much that they couldn't even stand up straight.

"What the Northern Ice Palace cannot give you, but I can—"

"Don't worry, I may lack many things, but I'm not short of money!"

128. That's so exciting! It's incredibly exciting!

Even the sound of the wind whistling past and the snowflakes dancing could be heard clearly.

No one spoke up.

The people in the room simply raised their heads blankly, letting the silence fill the palace.

The young man before the throne stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and serious, as if declaring to everyone that everything he had just said was true.

But is that possible?

The question, whose answer was already decided, arose in everyone's heart.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

People who are incredibly wealthy do exist. While wealth is not the ultimate goal of cultivators, it is a great asset on their path to immortality.

Otherwise, why would thousands of prominent families go to such lengths and spend so much money to try and obtain spiritual roots and cultivation techniques?

Wealth is also a part of the path to immortality, but few people specialize in it.

After all, there are always far more poor people than rich people in this world.

Even so...

Even the Northern Ice Palace couldn't provide the materials and gold coins, yet he could produce them all by himself.

The Northern Ice Palace is not a small country in a remote region, nor is it some little-known sect. It has stood as the overlord of the Far East Snowfield for an unknown period of time. The wealth it has accumulated over time is not only unmatched by individuals, but even the Lantian Empire would probably find it difficult to match.

This young man in front of me says that what the Northern Ice Palace can't produce, he can produce?

"Please think before you make a joke, sir."

For some reason, Li Xuanfei, who was originally full of anger, actually started laughing.

He mistakenly thought that Fang Qingzhu had invited some extraordinary person, and he spoke with great arrogance, but what he said was something only a fool would say.

We've got this in the bag—the person Fang Qingzhu found is clearly unreliable.

The old rogue glanced at him disdainfully, speaking as if he were sleepy, "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"

“Outsiders? I am the Palace Master of the Palace of Offering. In these three inner palaces, there are very few people who dare to speak to me like that.”

"Now you have him, the one standing right in front of you dares to talk to you." Yun Ping stepped forward, slapped his cheek, and said with a smug look, "What, you're not convinced? Come on then, do you think you can hit my face?"

The young man's exaggerated posture, as if possessed by a scoundrel, infuriated Li Xuanfei. If he hadn't been so composed, he would have immediately unleashed his magic weapon, activated his cultivation technique, and smashed the kid's face to pieces!

There's no way around it, that expression is just too irritating!

"Hmph, I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with you!" Li Xuanfei had no intention of giving Yun Ping a chance to back down, and shouted, "You just said you could produce materials that even the Northern Ice Palace couldn't provide. Are you serious?"

If Lao Yun were to say "No, I was just kidding" at this point, Li Xuanfei would probably be furious.

However, Yunping wasn't that mischievous, and now that he's backing out, it would make him seem like he was going back on his word and just joking around.

Without hesitation, the young man nodded. “What I say is true. Show me all the contracts you signed before, and I will give them to you.”

"really?!"

Yunping's words immediately brightened the eyes of the family elders.

Li Xuanfei became worried about this – could it be that he really could produce it?

That's impossible! Based on his understanding of the Northern Ice Palace, even if he included Fang Qingzhu's accumulated dowry, such a large amount of materials accumulated over a long period of time... he still couldn't produce them!

From any angle, Yunping didn't seem to be joking.

Ye Yuchan tugged at Yun Ping's sleeve, carefully hiding behind him, her lips brushing against his ear.

"Hey you old rogue, they count these things in hundreds of thousands of kilograms, in units of tens of thousands... Do you really have that many?"

"It's just a few stinking coins and a few pieces of junk," Yunping said without turning his head. "I thought there would be something serious going on. How could I not handle such a simple task?"

"I don't think that handling tens of thousands of kilograms of timber is a simple matter."

"It's all the same to me."

Li Xuanfei stared intently at Yun Ping, trying to detect even the slightest hint of nervousness on his face, for only nervousness could prove that everything he said was just boasting.

That's why he's been keeping an eye on Yunping for so long.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be captured.

He seemed certain that he had so much material.

A look of doubt crept into Fang Qingzhu's eyes. As the younger sister who had followed the old rogue all over the country for many years, she trusted Yunping especially.

Even so, she still looked at Yunping with a puzzled expression.

“Hey, hey, let me make this clear first. I’m a very reasonable person. I’m talking about the transaction agreement you signed with that old guy Fan Dongyin.”

"Instead of the fake contract you modified."

At this point, Yunping's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Li Xuanfei frowned. He knew that many families present had secretly modified the original transaction contracts to some extent, and some of them were even authorized by him.

The reason is simple: if the promised materials within thirty years were changed to ten years, the amount of materials obtained in a short period of time would increase dramatically, while the cost would be a slight reduction.

This is of course not allowed, but only not allowed by Fan Dongyin. If Fan Dongyin were still alive, they would naturally not dare to put on such a show.

But Fan Dongyin died, and his death was completely inexplicable.

"You jest, sir." Though somewhat uneasy, Li Xuanfei maintained his outward composure and calmness. "While most of us started as merchants, we would never do such a heartless thing."

"Do you even believe what you're saying?" The old rogue rolled his eyes at the guy with disdain. "Enough nonsense, hand over your contracts right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunping pointed to the man closest to him, who had a somewhat simple and honest appearance.

The man was pointed at by Yun Ping and was momentarily stunned, blinking as if wondering why it was him.

"You, yes—you, what are you looking at? Do you still want the materials? Hurry up and hand over your documents. Today, I'll show you what it means to be rich and powerful!"

As luck would have it, this person was none other than the Ding family member who had previously asked for 300,000 jin of meteorite purple iron.

After hesitating for a short while, the Ding family member, dressed in a purple robe and with a thick neck who looked like an honest man, walked up the steps one step at a time.

"Show me your documents."

The young man's words reached his ears without missing a single one.

For some reason, at this moment, the Ding family member suddenly shuddered, as if his entire soul had been shaken. He trembled and took out the document from his storage ring.

At the same time, she didn't forget to ask timidly in a trembling voice, "Um, Your Excellency... what do you think of my document..."

Yunping glanced at the pale yellow paper contract casually, then nodded.

"Hmm... 30,000 catties per year for ten years—no problem."

"Then, sir, when do you intend to hand over so much meteorite purple iron to my Ding family?"

Here comes the crucial question.

Now that this young man claims he can provide something even the Northern Ice Palace cannot, the question of when and how he will do so becomes a major issue.

Whether it was the question that caught him off guard, the young man's gaze became slightly unfocused, and he stood there frozen, speechless.

Li Xuanfei, who was watching from the sidelines, sneered and asked loudly, "Sir, what's wrong? Are you thinking about how to get away with this?"

The moment he uttered those words, the light in Yunping's eyes returned.

He looked at Li Xuanfei as if he were an idiot. "Don't bark, dog. We just went to look for that meteorite purple iron. To be honest, this kind of material, which isn't rare, is usually kept in a very back place in my collection."

This time, Li Xuanfei felt emboldened and immediately challenged Yun Ping, "Heh, meteorite purple iron isn't rare? If you're so capable, give me a few thousand kilograms right now."
