Mitel Tengshan was also stunned by Mo Tang's generosity.
While he had seen lavish deals involving tens or even hundreds of millions of gold coins, the items on these scale were always truly rare. Take
, for example, the Mitel family's Heavenly Auction many years ago, where the egg of a sixth-rank Fire Scale Crocodile Dragon was offered for sale...
It was said that once successfully hatched, the Fire Scale Crocodile Dragon would be a natural-born Dou Wang powerhouse, and with proper care, it would eventually reach the Dou Huang level...
This was effectively the direct purchase of a Dou Huang-level powerhouse. At the time, the entire Jiama Empire was intrigued, even attracting forces from several neighboring empires, resulting in a staggering price of hundreds of millions of gold coins!
However, this was the first time he had seen Mo Tang directly spend tens of millions of gold coins on a few mid-level resources.
Was he truly accumulating resources for the Mo family?
Then why did he specifically refuse to purchase Qi Gathering Powder, a highly prized elixir from the major families?
After much deliberation, Tengshan still couldn't quite grasp the young man's true intentions.
After a long pause, Tengshan finally said, "Well, Mo Tang, the amount of funds you possess is truly enormous. Even for my Mitel Family, it would take at least a month to fully convert this into the resources you need..."
This reassured Mo Tang.
"A month is not a problem."
While it was a bit long, at least the other party hadn't directly claimed it couldn't be spent... That was still good news.
"A month, sure. I'll stay in the Imperial Capital for the entire month. Once this matter is resolved, the Mo Family will probably be stable. Then, Hai Lao and I can travel to the Black Horn Territory together..."
Upon hearing this, Mitel Tengshan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Okay, then I'll have someone prepare this now!"
With that, he grabbed Mo Tang's storage ring and hurried off.
Mo Tang wasn't worried about the other party embezzling his gold coins.
He believed that Mitel Tengshan would handle matters like this, concerning the Mitel Family's reputation. Furthermore, Hai Bodong's ability to recover now depended on Mo Tang's guidance.
With only Mo Tang and Hai Bodong left, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
After all, they were old friends...
Hai Bodong glanced at Mo Tang and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Look at Tengshan, you're quite wealthy, young man."
It would take the Mitel family a month to gather the equivalent resources—that's a considerable fortune.
Mo Tang smiled faintly and said, "This isn't mine, it's my family's."
"Tsk, tsk, do you think I believe that?" Hai Bodong asked playfully.
Mo Tang shrugged, his expression unconvinced, and changed the subject.
He chatted with the old man for a while longer, and Mo Tang also mentioned the Mitel family.
In fact, when it comes to abundant resources, there are two factions in the entire Jia Ma Empire that surpass the Mitel family:
the Jia Ma Imperial Family and the Yun Lan Sect...
Unfortunately, with Mo Tang's status, it was impossible for him to trade with the Jia Ma Imperial Family.
As for the Yunlan Sect...
Mo Tang boldly asserted that, with over a thousand years of existence, the Yunlan Sect possessed a wealth of resources unimaginable to ordinary people, and the mid- to high-level resources at its disposal would surely astound him.
Unfortunately, even as an outer sect elder, it was impossible for him to purchase a large amount of sect resources with gold coins...
even if he were to capture Yun Yun, the sect's leader, he couldn't do it right now!
Besides the fixed monthly resource allocation, the only way for Yunlan Sect disciples to obtain resources from the sect was to diligently contribute to the sect and then exchange their merit for resources.
Take Mo Tang, for example. As an outer sect elder, he received three bottles of third-grade Yuan Zeng Dan every month, specifically designed to help Grand Dou Shi and Dou Ling-level warriors increase their Dou Qi.
However, these were of no use to Mo Tang at the moment, so he kept them, saving them for Mo Linglin's use later.
After all, the Yuan Zeng Dan was a specialty of the Yunlan Sect, only inner disciples and elders who had reached the Grand Fighting Master level were authorized to wield it. It was completely unavailable to the outside world.
As for selling it on the black market… let's not even consider whether it was worth it. If the Yunlan Sect learned of this, even Yun Yun would probably despise him.
Therefore, Mo Tang simply couldn't risk offending the Yunlan Sect for such a small profit. Thus, Mo Tang remained in Yunlan Mountain for a month.
While not constantly with Yun Yun, they had plenty of opportunities to interact, which led to significant progress in their relationship.
However, Mo Tang could sense that there was still a lingering barrier in Yun Yun's heart. Although their relationship was incredibly close, it still couldn't evolve into a pure, romantic one.
This troubled Mo Tang so much that he sometimes felt compelled to ask her directly what she was worried about.
Identity? Status? Age?
But wasn't the gap between her and Xiao Yan in the original novel even greater? But wasn't Yun Yun also in love with that bastard at that time?
If there's any real difference between Mo Tang now and Xiao Yan in the original novel, does it count as not taking advantage of someone's misfortune to nearly cause Yun Yun to lose her virginity?
Moreover, for the more traditional-minded Yun Yun, that scene in the original novel should have been the equivalent of having already lost her virginity, right?
Could it be that this moment caused Yun Yun's psychological change?
If only I had known, I would have been a bit more brutish!
Mo Tang felt deeply annoyed.
Alas, I often feel incompatible with the protagonist profession because I'm not a beast enough... I'm not pretending anymore. I'm laying it all out. I'm an outlier among time travelers, the only Liu Xiahui among the billions of time travelers, a true gentleman!
At this moment, our gentleman Mo Tang sat in the VIP room of the Mitel Auction House, awaiting the arrival of the Mitel family's first batch of supplies.
Tick, tick...
a series of crisp footsteps echoed.
Mo Tang's gaze turned to the door...
the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of red boots.
The heels of the long boots were slightly pointed, and they clicked on the smooth bluestone floor, making a series of crisp and pleasant sounds, like a string of beautiful notes.
His eyes moved slightly upwards, and a pair of slender, snow-white legs appeared in Mo Tang's sight, quite stimulating.
It is said that a beauty has beautiful legs, but a pair of beautiful legs does not necessarily mean she is a beauty...
However, the moment he saw this pair of beautiful legs in front of him, Mo Tang was sure that the woman in front of him must be a rare beauty!
