The Emperor gave too much, and the system, dissatisfied, has turned evil.

Chapter 85 The Grand Alchemy Gathering Begins!
"Oh."
"Then it's not surprising."
Upon hearing this, Li Tianxin immediately understood.
She remained calm: "Right now, Father is conquering his world, leaving his invincible continent devastated and ravaged. How could he not hate us?"
“You know our father, known as the ‘Butcher of Men’ and the ‘Bandit Tyrant’. Wherever he goes, not only are living beings wiped out, but even needles and thread are left behind.”
"They're practically ready to tear off all the land from other people's land and move it back to their own old lair, the sacred land of Taiqian."
“No wonder.” Li Congxin said calmly, “That’s true, I would hate it too.”
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group went upstairs and disappeared from the sight of others.
Hearing the siblings' blatant conversation, even the king was so angry that his mouth twisted slightly.
"go!"
He angrily waved his sleeve and left Phoenix Tower first.
On the street, a cold voice said, "I heard that kid Li Song is a good-for-nothing. He must be here to participate in the Alchemy Grand Meeting to seek some kind of elixir to develop his innate physique."
"Hmph, then tomorrow, if he takes a fancy to anything, I'll snatch it from him, so his dreams will be dashed and he can go back to his old home in the Holy Land and continue being a good-for-nothing."
Because he was unhappy, he deliberately changed Li Congxin's name.
One of the elderly men beside him said cautiously, "But that boy's second sister..." Another elderly man also seemed worried, "She's really rich..."
Even the king's eyelids twitched.
"We're both chosen ones, do you think my wealth is any less than his?"
With a determined look in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Yang, send a message back immediately and have my father prepare another 100 billion top-grade spirit stones and send someone to deliver them."
"No, this time we're going all in, we want 200 billion!"
……
Day two.
Li Congxin and the other two walked out of Phoenix Tower.
Today, Misty Island is even more bustling than yesterday, with cultivators from ten great worlds gathering, causing this aerial city outside the realm to be crowded with people.
Just like the mundane world.
"what's the situation?"
Li Congxin looked astonished; overnight, he felt as if the whole world had changed.
Everything has become abnormal.
The streets were packed with people, but not a single real face could be seen. Cultivators from various great worlds were all wearing all sorts of masks.
Before his eyes flickered tiger faces, dog faces, monkey faces...
Or a flower, a fan, or even some bizarre ones, like a mask that looks like a pile of poop...
"Sis, are you sure today is a grand alchemy gathering? Are you sure it's not some huge masked party in the starry sky?"
Li Congxin was a little confused.
"You haven't been out having enough fun; you don't know how dangerous the world is."
Li Tianxin winked and smiled charmingly: "That's called 'better safe than sorry'."
"Oh."
Li Congxin immediately understood and couldn't help but sigh: "The disparity in individual power is too great, making survival difficult in a world without the rule of law."
As the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted. In this world where there is no law and might makes right, who wouldn't worry about being followed when buying elixirs? What if you buy elixirs at the Alchemy Gathering and then get robbed as soon as you leave Misty Island?
They came happily, but could not return home, dying tragically in the outer space.
People from all ten worlds are here, but they all wear masks, making it a mixed bag, so no one knows who they are.
Focus on safety.
In fact, for Li Congxin, masks were completely useless. With his Eye of Truth, he could see through everyone.
"Should we wear a mask too?"
"Isn't it a pity that a mask hides your stunning beauty? No need for it."
Li Congxin remained calm and composed. He didn't bully people casually, but if anyone dared to rob him, the Great Emperor, they could only blame their bad luck, and he would make sure to rob them until they were left with nothing but their underwear.
"Huh? Aren't we going to wear them?"
Beside her, Mo Xiangran, who had already put on a silly-looking mask with two rows of big teeth on her long horse face, took it off again. She looked cute, with a slightly flushed face.
……
Ten venues were set up on Misty Island.
The three of them arrived at the largest one.
It was like walking into a huge shopping mall. Besides the large number of masked shoppers, there were also men and women dressed in uniform, flowing white clothes, who were in charge of selling and collecting money. These were all people from Misty Island.
Looking at the dazzling array of elixirs on the counters, Li Congxin couldn't help but be shocked. How could such a huge number of elixirs be produced? It was not within the Ten Great Worlds and did not participate in the conflicts between the worlds, yet the rules it set were followed by all the worlds. What kind of power did Misty Island possess?
It must be very powerful!
Second Sister Li Yuxin must know...
Anything with a clearly marked price is not a rare or precious spiritual treasure.
The truly rare and high-grade elixirs are all in the premium section.
The elixirs in the premium section are not priced; instead, they are sold through an auction, with the highest bidder winning.
Li Congxin and his two companions walked straight through the main hall and arrived at the entrance of the inner boutique hall.
"Please purchase admission tickets."
A graceful and elegant lady, her figure clad in a classic cheongsam, stood outside the door. Her voice was polite and flattering. These three dared to come to the alchemy gathering without masks; they must undoubtedly be people of great importance. Or perhaps just simpletons.
However, it is obvious from their appearances that these three people could not be the latter.
The premium venue isn't open to just anyone, and the entry requirements are very high; the entrance ticket alone costs 100 top-grade spirit stones. That ticket price alone keeps 99% of the people on Misty Island out.
100 top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to the entire fortune of a second-rate cultivation sect.
What kind of tickets do you need?
"You blind fool, don't you want your job anymore?"
A curse rang out, and a distinguished-looking middle-aged man walked over and hurriedly bowed: "Your subordinate is Wang Jianyun. Miss and young master, please come in quickly."
Li Congxin: "..."
Li Tianxin: "..." They looked at each other.
The two shrugged together, expressing a helpless expression.
Clearly, this premium venue belongs to his second sister again!
In other words, the people selling elixirs here are all renting Li Yuxin's space. Besides earning money from the space itself, Li Yuxin might also get a commission from the elixirs sold.
Li Congxin felt a chill run down his spine.
His second sister's abilities once again broadened his horizons...
As the three entered, not far behind them, three more people arrived without masks. They were the King of the Invincible Continent and two Quasi-Emperor level experts beside him.
"The tickets for the three people behind them should be sold at a higher price."
Li Tianxin casually gave an order and led Li Congxin into the venue. She wasn't just beautiful inside and out; she was only pretty! "Understood."
Wang Jianyun immediately understood; those people were the enemies of the Emperor's son and daughter.
"Three people."
Upon arriving at the entrance of the premium venue, Wang Zhe simply tossed 300 top-grade spirit stones onto the counter in front of the hostess.
He had already inquired beforehand and learned that the admission ticket cost 100 top-grade spirit stones per person.
The hostess, who had just made a mistake, certainly wouldn't give him an admission ticket. Instead, she acted as if she hadn't seen him, keeping a straight face and standing as dignified as a model without a smile.
"You're mistaken."
Wang Jianyun said calmly, "Admission tickets cost 1 top-grade spirit stones each."
The etiquette lady trembled with fright.
She quickly straightened her posture and stood firmly. My goodness! The young lady said to sell it for a higher price, and this is a hundred times more expensive?!
"what!"
Even the king couldn't help but scream out loud.
His face was full of disbelief: "Why?"
Everyone else gets 100, so why is it 1 for him? Is it obvious they're trying to rip him off?
Yes, it's blatantly a case of ripping him off.
"You don't have to buy it."
Wang Jianyun smiled broadly: "But without an admission ticket, you can't enter the premium section."
The venue belongs to her mistress, Li Yuxin, so naturally they decide the ticket prices. So what if they treat you differently? So what if they're unreasonable? If you're not happy, leave. We're not forcing you to buy.
Even the king's lips twitched slightly.
His expression gradually turned angry. His pair of sword-like eyebrows stood up straight, like inverted daggers.
Damn it, is it because the Invincible Continent has been suffering repeated defeats at the hands of the Skyward Continent that they think his family is no good, so everyone dares to disregard him, the imperial prince?
Restaurant owners, club managers, anyone dares to confront him to his face, or even swindle him.
“Li Congxin and the others entered first; they must have been the ones who tripped us up.”
“Your Highness, I believe they are worried that you will compete with them in the auction, so they want to shut you out directly, so as to eliminate a strong opponent like you.”
"It seems they are wary of your strength."
"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Your Highness, please be patient for now."
"Good, let's talk inside the venue."
Two elderly men stood by, whispering instructions, their faces also showing restraint. "Alright!"
The king also took a few deep breaths of his anger.
The old foxes are truly wise; their analysis is very insightful!
"I, the Crown Prince, will prove you wrong with my strength in a moment!"
With a wave of his sleeve, he generously tossed out 3 top-grade spirit stones...
