Three years later, in autumn.
During these three years, most people in the Li Family grew utterly disappointed with the new family head.
What did Song Yan do?
First, he indulged in pleasure, spending his days entangled with the Han sisters. Both male and female cultivators knew that Han Weizi’s mystical power could bring great joy, enough to become an addiction, and the family head was addicted.
Second, he refused to cultivate, declining an "entry-level Hell Dao Visualization Map" offered by the Cyan Nether Merchant Association, which was essential for cultivators of Hell Dao to contemplate their realm techniques.
How could a map that helps a cultivator to comprehend secret techniques be simple?
Then... where did the map come from?
The map was naturally not drawn by humans, but was produced from the chaos void, a pattern on a mysterious and extremely dense and hard black stone slab, among which is suitable for realm cultivation was the "White Visualization Map", meaning the drawings on the slab were white.
The Cyan Nether Merchant Association knew that a family like the Li Family would definitely spend vast fortunes to buy something after losing their Sea God, so they brought from the Six Paths Cultivation Profound Land "an Ice Spiritual Treasure" as well as "a White Visualization Map of the Hell Dao".
These two things were prepared for the Li Family, hoping to drain their resources, and if money was not enough, loans from the association could be offered.
The Cyan Nether Merchant Association had already calculated the interest rate on loans, just waiting for the storm-tossed Li Family head to splurge.
However, they could only predict the first half, but not the latter half.
Song Yan arrived, glanced at the White Visualization Map, then at the Ice Spiritual Treasure, found them too expensive, didn’t buy, then turned and left.
This left the steward of the Cyan Nether Merchant Association dumbfounded, the steward even actively shouted: "Family Head Li, these two treasures are expensive, but they are enough for you to advance further and stabilize your family."
Song Yan paused in his steps, seemed to hesitated, then said: "Each treasure you sell for twenty premium World Cores, two will be forty pieces, it’s too expensive."
A World Core is the core left behind after a world dies.
To reach the premium level with minimal damage, it cannot be rampantly destroyed.
This is a high-class currency in the starry sky, equivalent to a piece of top-quality Starfire Spirit Stone.
The Cyan Nether Merchant Association steward laughed and said: "Not expensive, not expensive..."
Song Yan continued: "Those items my ancestors gave, you only valued them at two perfect World Cores..."
The Cyan Nether Merchant Association steward laughed and said: "Fair trading for all, truly not little."
He had long predicted the range the Li Family could afford.
Forty World Cores could just about exhaust most of the Li Family’s savings; if not enough, they could go to the Lower Realm and refine a few worlds, if still reluctant, they could take loans from their association.
His chubby face smiling, he continued: "Family Head Li, you get what you pay for, take a look at this White Visualization Map.
Know about visualization maps?
Observing can comprehend world techniques.
This visualization map is very rare, in the chaos void, you must rely on fortune to obtain it. The divine and demonic patterns on it are naturally occurring, and there is no second identical piece in the world. Moreover, once you buy it, not only you can use it, but you can also pass it to the descendants, nurturing more strong ones, this is a great treasure for family development...
Alas, if not for some past friendship with Old Master Li, I wouldn’t have specially kept an eye on this Hell Dao Visualization Map for you, let alone compete with other stewards for it, and then specially transport it here.
Family Head Li, you’ve missed this opportunity, it won’t be coming again, if you don’t take it, I could send it back to the headquarters, by then if you want it, you won’t get it."
