The answer is...

Ten days!

A full ten days!

That's right, Feng Zhi brought her group to sit beside a mountain of gold, counting a whole ten days' worth of gold.

From time to time, she would stop to roast some meat with the others and make some delicious food. If it wasn't for that, with their speed, it would have taken them a full ten days to finish counting all of the 200 million gold coins.

During these ten days, the matter of Feng Zhi and the rest who were sitting at the entrance of the Mu Rong family's ruin counting their gold coins, spread like this.

The people from the Mu Rong family were speechless.

The grand event they had organized for the Alchemy Master Competition had not attracted any of these people. Now, for the sake of Feng Zhi's foolish behavior, they had actually attracted all of them.

This...

Wasn't it infuriating?

No matter what happened, the number of people in the city increased with each passing day. It was as if so many people were celebrating the holidays. As they watched the interesting things that they had not seen in ten thousand years, they gathered in groups of three to five.

It was as if he was participating in a grand occasion.

Amongst so many people, it was obvious that some of them had ideas about the golden mountain in front of Feng Zhi and the others.

60 million gold coins was enough to make the Mu Rong family renege on their debt. In this aspect, it meant that the Mu Rong family's character wasn't good and in addition, it also meant that they really didn't want to part with the gold coins.

One hundred fifty million gold coins almost made Situ Hao spit blood. Although he clenched his teeth and gave it out, he wanted to make Feng Zhi look bad.

And now, two hundred million gold coins could naturally bring out the greed in the hearts of many.

200 million gold coins was more than enough to allow someone to develop a clan that was at least of a medium-sized scale!

However, even if they had greed in their hearts, most people, especially those who had personally witnessed the devastation brought to the Mu Rong family by Feng Zhi, knew how powerful she was.

200 million gold coins was good, but if he took the gold coins and didn't have the Life Flower, what was the point?

Those who had rushed to the city to see what was going on did not have such awareness.

Even if they had heard of Feng Zhi's name before, what laid before them on one side was that mountain of gold, while on the other side was a group of youths led by a seventeen year old girl. There was no need to think about whether they would take the risk or not.

So...

Feng Zhi stood up and stretched her body. She first looked at the gold mountain in front of him, then looked at the others and smiled: "Look, it's only been ten days, we can already count all the gold coins clearly. This time, the Mu Rong family is honest, not a single person out of the 200 million gold coins!"

The Mu Rong family members were also by Feng Zhi's side and accompanied him for a whole ten days. When they heard what Feng Zhi said, no matter how self-possessed they were, they couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

Since the gold coins had already been counted, Feng Zhi would definitely not stay in the Mu Rong family.

She had left the Feng Family for such a long time, she also wanted to hurry back to take a look.

And there was also the flower that was left outside of Dragon Pass by her. It had been so long since they last met, and she still missed that little fellow a little.

Thinking about this, Feng Zhi turned around and said to the rest, "Since the points have been made, then, let us prepare to return."

Before he could finish his words, a commotion broke out among the onlookers.

An old man dressed in black suddenly came out from the crowd.

The old man's beard was completely white. He looked to be at least a hundred years old and his face was full of hostility. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a good person.

Other than wanting to take action against Feng Zhi's huge pile of gold, what else could it be?

Realizing what the old man wanted to do, the crowd immediately let out a series of exclamations.

The old man's purpose was very clear. He was here for the mountain of gold coins. Moreover, he was holding a palm-sized bag; clearly, he had prepared it beforehand to store the gold coins.

He had come prepared.

Thinking that his actions would not be hindered, the old man stretched out his hand towards the pile of gold coins and laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha …" "Little girl, you are still young. It took you so much effort to get this gold from the Mu Rong family, but you ended up making me a wedding dress. How about this?"

At this moment, the old man was already very close to the pile of gold coins.

Seeing that the old man was about to succeed, many people in the crowd became greedy. They were hesitating whether they should continue or not, so how could they continue to hesitate?

Looking at the situation in front of them, the old man was sure to succeed. If they did not act, wouldn't the final benefits be taken away by the old man?

Therefore, in the span of a moment, more and more people rushed out from the crowd. Their figures were like lightning as they charged towards the pile of gold coins without even a glance at them.

From the looks of it, that pile of gold coins was like meat on a chopping board, and he could only allow these people to divide it up like this.

However …

Amongst the people who were in shock, some of the sharp-eyed people realised that Feng Zhi's reaction was strange.

This was two hundred million gold coins. If Feng Zhi didn't care about it at all, she wouldn't have come all the way from the Feng Family to Qian Xi City, made a big fuss at the Alchemy Tournament, and personally come to the Mu Rong family. She definitely wouldn't have had to personally count these two hundred million gold coins.

But now, seeing that there were so many people looking for gold, Feng Zhi did not have any reaction at all?

Looking at it, it seemed as though he didn't care at all about the gold coins and just allowed others to take them as they pleased?

How was this possible?

Those who had previously seen Feng Zhi's methods all felt that it was strange.

That shouldn't be …

At the moment they thought they shouldn't, those people who had decided to take the risk for the sake of the gold coins were already at the edge of the golden mountain.

After thinking about the gold coins for so long, no matter how calm a person was, he could not help but be ecstatic. He then extended his hand to grab the gold coins …

Then, he really did grab it.

This made the onlookers and those who thought that Feng Zhi had some sort of plan to deal with it, feel disappointed.

So, it wasn't that Feng Zhi had been prepared a long time ago to not panic at all, but rather, she had been distracted by this sudden turn of events?

Since it's like this …

After confirming this point, the people who hadn't planned on sharing the two hundred million gold coins in a single spoonful also became restless.

Even if they did not take the gold coins, they would have ended up in someone else's hands. Furthermore, based on the current situation, even if they took the gold coins, there shouldn't be any bad consequences …
