92: No money? Pay something else!
Chen Xian coughed.
He smiled and said, "Although I am a Loose Cultivator, how can I stand by and do nothing when I see my Fellow Daoists in distress?"
"However, crossing the river has a price, and saving people also has a price!"
He held up five fingers.
"Five million Spirit Stones, and I'll save you immediately, plus I'll give you a qi gathering pill. How about it?"
Chen Xian's words almost made Li Yu and Zi Yun tumble to the ground.
Seriously, buddy?
Still thinking about making money at a time like this?
The Moon Demon, inside the White Cat, shook his head frantically.
It was as if a scene appeared in his mind, with Chen Xian telling him: Moon Demon, your punches back then weren't fast enough! Not ruthless enough!
Compared to this guy,
He was practically a great philanthropist!
As for the Prodigies in the blood mist, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"We've already given you all our Spirit Stones!"
Although they were Prodigies,
They held noble status and had abundant resources.
But they weren't printing money.
A million Spirit Stones was already their limit.
Now, he wanted five million Spirit Stones per person, where were they supposed to get that?
Chen Xian saw that even though these people were spitting blood, some even had their entire bodies festering,
They still hadn't taken out Spirit Stones.
He could only say helplessly, "Alas, if that's the case, then I'll give you a discounted price!"
"Group purchase price for three people, nine million Spirit Stones!"
"As long as one person contributes three million Spirit Stones, you can survive this forest, you know."
"Think about your Sects, think about your Families. If they knew you died here, they wouldn't be sad for you, they'd only think you were useless."
"As long as you can come back alive, no matter what, at least you've saved your life! Although your fathers and teachers might be unhappy, it's better than leaving your life here!"
At this, three people tremblingly raised their hands.
"We'll do it!"
All three took out their storage rings.
"These are our last Spirit Stones, we're giving them all to you in exchange for a way out!"
Chen Xian saw them take out their storage rings, then he smiled and activated the Bloodthirsty Great Array, walked over, and after inspecting them.
He brought the three people back into the Bloodthirsty Great Array.
At the same time, he took out three qi gathering pills.
"These are for the three of you to recover! I do business fairly, no deception!"
With three people setting an example.
The Prodigies lying on the ground, suppressed by the blood mist, began to contact each other.
They all started to fantasize about pooling their money.
Li Yu and Zi Yun watched this scene, both with black lines on their faces.
They held noble status and had participated in dozens of Secret Realms with crises.
But they had never seen such an absurd scene.
These Sect Geniuses and Scions of aristocratic families, who were usually so proud,
Were busy pooling money to buy a chance to live!
And this man who was frantically accumulating wealth was actually the useless Chen Xian, whom they looked down upon!
After saving two groups of people.
The Prodigies on the ground were truly desperate.
It was the first time they felt such regret well up in their hearts!
Why didn't they bring more money when they left home!
Right now, although this scoundrel was a snob and a greedy extortionist,
The most important thing was that he actually delivered!
As long as the money was enough,
He would do anything!
"Fellow Daoist, we don't have that many Spirit Stones, can we exchange something else?"
Chen Xian rolled his eyes.
"No Spirit Stones, then what?"
He was very picky.
The reason he specifically collected Spirit Stones was that ordinary people wouldn't idly mark Spirit Stones.
Moreover, Spirit Stones were a general equivalent.
Anything could be bought with Spirit Stones.
As for other things, he not only had to guard against their usefulness but also had to find an opportunity to resell them.
The depreciation and pricing issues were all problems.
It was better to just collect Spirit Stones.
However, it seemed these people really couldn't produce those Spirit Stones now.
He didn't care whether they lived or died, but if he didn't squeeze out every last drop of value from them,
Chen Xian always felt like he was losing out.
"We'll exchange the Magic Treasures on our bodies!"
The speaking Prodigy took out the long spear from his waist.
"This is a Heaven Rank weapon from our Divine Spear Sect. Can it save my life?"
A Heaven Rank weapon!
If it were before,
When Chen Xian hadn't seen the world, his eyes would have truly lit up.
But now!
Any beast bone sword he pulled out would probably be more than Heaven Rank!
He really didn't think much of this Heaven Rank weapon.
Even so, he sighed.
"Alas, I'll take a loss then! Hand over a Heaven Rank weapon, and you can enter the Formation."
"However..."
Chen Xian looked at Li Yu and Zi Yun.
"Please, both of you, thoroughly erase the aura and marks on these weapons!"
A Disciple from Yaochi Immortal Palace stepped forward righteously.
"Why? Our Yaochi Immortal Palace is the number one Sect in the Southern Continent. How can the Saintess work for you? Take your orders?"
Chen Xian sneered upon hearing this.
"Alright, if you don't want to do it, then get out!"
As soon as these words came out,
The Disciple from Yaochi Immortal Palace who spoke immediately fell silent.
"I'm letting you stay here, but it's not free! If you don't work, then scram!"
The faces of the few people from Yaochi Immortal Palace turned red, and they were about to argue.
However, Zi Yun stopped them with a hand.
"I'll do it!"
Li Yu also had no objection to Chen Xian's suggestion.
And so.
The Prodigies handed over their weapons to Chen Xian, who then gave them to Li Yu and Zi Yun. The two women used Spiritual Qi to erase the traces on them.
Turning them into brand new, ownerless weapons.
As for Chen Xian, he brought all the Prodigies who handed over their weapons into the Formation.
The Prodigies who had hidden inside not only breathed a sigh of relief but also got qi gathering pills to eat.
For a moment, they actually felt that Chen Xian was somewhat benevolent!
At least their lives were saved.
Seeing that all the Prodigies in front of him had been rescued.
And all the weapons had gone into Chen Xian's pocket.
Li Yu then asked, "What exactly happened ahead? What's going on with this blood mist?"
A Prodigy who had just recovered, said weakly, "We don't know either. After crossing the mountain, we've been wandering in this forest. Later, we gradually lost our way. Then, this blood mist gradually came!"
"As soon as we were contaminated by the blood mist, we found that both our consciousness and bodies were almost out of control. When we fell to the ground, the blood mist began to corrode our Qi and blood! Some of us couldn't hold on and collapsed on the way, already turned into piles of white bones!"
When these Prodigies recalled this incident,
They couldn't help but shiver.
The horror from this unknown power magnified the fear in their hearts countless times.
"Are we... still moving forward?"
After someone spoke unwillingly,
Everyone's gaze fell on Chen Xian for a moment.
At this time, the person who could make the most decisions was not some Dynasty princess, nor a Sect Saintess.
Instead, it was this unknown nobody!
