89: Raising prices on the spot, you're even more cunning than a demonic cultivator!
Everyone was afraid of being left behind.
However, Chen Xian said unhurriedly at this time, "It's not two hundred thousand anymore. Because Wang Li questioned me just now, I announce that it's three hundred thousand Spirit Stones per person!"
"Aren't you just hiking the price on the spot!"
"Kid, do you know who is backing us? If you offend us, you might not be able to escape unscathed once you leave the Secret Realm!"
Chen Xian pointed at the man who was berating him and said with a smile, "Threatening me? Fine, today, no matter how much money you offer, you won't be crossing the river!"
The face of the man who had just berated Chen Xian turned even gloomier.
"Hmph, I don't believe I can't cross the river without you!"
Fairy Zi Yun had just detected a Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon at the bottom of the river.
But as for what the specific danger was, no one knew.
Instead of being extorted for three hundred thousand,
It was better to take a gamble himself.
This Cultivator stepped to the riverbank and sneered at everyone.
"Everyone, today I want to see if I can cross the river without that trash!"
After saying that,
He summoned a green tree branch.
Standing on it, he slowly headed toward the opposite bank.
When everyone saw this scene, their hearts were also pounding.
Was there really a Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon at the bottom of the river?
Whether Fairy Zi Yun's words were true or false, let's see if this Fellow Daoist crosses the river safely first.
"Fellow Daoist Wu Sen is a Disciple of the Qingsen Sect from the Southern Continent, with a cultivation of the third level of Foundation Establishment. Crossing the river shouldn't be a problem!"
"That guy on the opposite bank looks like nothing more than a Qi Refining Cultivator. If Fellow Daoist Wu Sen gets across, he's going to have a miserable time!"
"Hehehe, it looks like nothing is happening!"
Just as Wu Sen had crossed more than halfway and was about to reach the bank,
Suddenly, the calm river water surged with waves.
In an instant,
A dark shadow emerged from the bottom of the river.
Even though the Prodigies on the bank were well-traveled, the moment they saw the true face of this Great Demon from the riverbed,
Every one of them turned pale with fright, shaking like a sieve!
One of them looked at the Great Demon, over ten meters tall and made entirely of skeletons, standing on the water.
He said stutteringly, "What kind of monster is this?"
Li Yu's face darkened!
"Defend!"
The Imperial Guards by her side quickly shielded her, and the Prodigies of the Da Gan Dynasty formed a defensive formation.
It was the same on Zi Yun's side.
This Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon filled them with a deep-seated fear.
However, the Great Demon paid no attention to the people on the bank, but instead bit Wu Sen in its mouth.
Crack!
With just a light snap,
The Great Demon bit Wu Sen in half.
Then, the Great Demon dove back into the river.
For a full fifteen minutes,
The waves on the river finally calmed down.
At the same time,
Everyone looked at Wu Sen's corpse floating on the river.
No one questioned Zi Yun's words or Chen Xian's method of crossing the river anymore.
"Fellow Daoist, I'll pay three hundred thousand!"
"I'll pay three hundred thousand too, hurry and take us across!"
Compared to their lives, they felt that spending three hundred thousand was worth it.
However, Chen Xian waved his hand.
He said with a smile, "Fifteen minutes ago, it was indeed three hundred thousand. But now I've changed my mind."
"Today, crossing the river goes to the highest bidder!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
It caused waves of dissatisfaction among the people on the opposite bank, but they were afraid to speak out despite their anger.
After all, they had all seen Wu Sen's fate with their own eyes.
If they didn't cross the river,
They would be unwilling.
Only by crossing the river could they know what exactly was in the Secret Realm.
It could be considered not having come here in vain.
Especially since their Sects and Family members were all standing outside the Secret Realm this time.
If they returned empty-handed this time,
Wouldn't that be telling everyone they were incompetent?
Thinking of this,
One person immediately raised their hand.
"I'll pay four hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred thousand!"
"I'll pay eight hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
Chen Xian thought he would have to waste some breath and manipulate them a bit.
He didn't expect these people to be so cooperative.
They actually offered so much money right from the start.
He immediately said with a smile, "Alright, the Fellow Daoist who offered one million, step forward!"
The person standing at the very front was none other than Luo Jin, the Prodigy of the Luo Family, one of the Twelve Great Families of the Da Gan Dynasty!
Chen Xian leisurely crossed the river, but he didn't go directly ashore.
What a joke, on the opposite bank, he was an object everyone was scrambling for.
But standing in front of them,
He'd be chopped into mincemeat sooner or later!
Therefore, standing in the middle of the river,
Chen Xian looked at Luo Jin with a smile!
"Fellow Daoist, pay the Spirit Stones, and I'll take you over right away!"
Luo Jin didn't hesitate either.
He directly threw over a storage ring filled with a million Spirit Stones.
Coming here this time, he was even more eager to obtain Opportunities and treasures, and to make a name for himself in front of the forces of the North and Southern Continents!
Buying this chance for a million Spirit Stones,
Although it felt like being extorted, it was much better than returning empty-handed.
After receiving the Spirit Stones,
Chen Xian brought the boat to about a hundred meters from the bank.
"Fellow Daoist, get on the boat!"
Luo Jin looked at the Luo Family members following him.
"Wait for me here, do not leave without my command!"
"Yes!"
Having arranged all this,
Luo Jin then got on the boat.
After Chen Xian sent him to the opposite bank, he said with a smile, "Next!"
Seeing that Luo Jin's figure had already disappeared from everyone's sight,
The expressions of those who were still hesitating became urgent.
"I'll pay one million!"
"I'll pay one million one hundred thousand!"
"I'll pay one million two hundred thousand!"
Chen Xian couldn't stop smiling as he saw these people competing to bid.
On the other hand, the Moon Demon saw everything outside through the heaven concealing mirror.
He said helplessly, "Kid, aren't you afraid of their revenge? Their money is easy to take, but they will never let you leave so easily!"
Chen Xian said with a smile, "What's there to fear? I'm not leaving this river!"
"What do you mean?"
"They cross the river to find Opportunities and treasures, but they have to come back eventually. As long as I stay here, when they return, we'll just split those Opportunities and treasures seventy-thirty."
"Seventy-thirty? They should be able to accept you taking thirty percent!"
Chen Xian sneered.
"Wrong, I take seventy percent!"
Moon Demon: "..."
"Kid, you are sinister beyond measure."
For a moment, he even wondered,
Was he the demonic Cultivator, or was Chen Xian the demonic Cultivator!
This kid's tricks for scheming against people were simply endless!
After sending half of the people over, Chen Xian suddenly stood on the river and looked at Wang Li with a smile.
"Wait a moment, I remember Young Master Wang still owes me a bet, right?"
After Chen Xian successfully took Luo Jin across, Wang Li had remained silent, hiding behind the crowd.
Now, being suddenly called out by Chen Xian,
He gave a sudden shiver!
"Now, Young Master Wang wouldn't want to break the agreement, would he?"
"No way, right? Is the reputation of the Tianqi Sect really like this? Not keeping your word?"
