12: Chapter 12 Money is hard to earn, and life is tough!
The ideal is plump, but reality is thin!
Looking at the pittance left in his pocket, Chen Yan recalled the boast he made last night about "providing for his Revered Master," and his face flushed with embarrassment!
Due to Leng Qingshuang's reclusive nature, the Ninth Peak had almost no interaction with the other peaks in the Sect!
Not to mention any trade!
"To get rich, first build roads... pfft! It looks like I need to make money first!"
Chen Yan looked at the dilapidated bamboo house and sighed.
Without Spirit Stones, let alone providing for his Revered Master, he would starve to death himself.
Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality; one cultivates immortality, but what one relies on is resources!
Wealth, companions, techniques, and land; wealth is always the first.
The ancients did not deceive me!
Chen Yan glanced at his attribute panel.
[Name: Chen Yan]
[Realm: Qi Refining 9th Layer]
[Cultivation Technique: Sword Heart Tempering Method]
[Divine Ability: Mystic Ice Water-Dividing Sword Art; Streamer;]
[Magic Treasure: brick (wait a moment)]
[Rebellious Disciple Value: 12688]
Unknowingly, his Rebellious Disciple Value had already exceeded 10,000!
Although the System was a scam, he had no other way to get rich, so he could only rely on it!
Chen Yan snapped his fingers, full of ambition: "System! I want a ten-draw!"
Sitting on over 10,000 Rebellious Disciple Value, the cost of a ten-draw was just a drop in the bucket.
[Lucky ten-draw, activating!]
[Congratulations to the host, obtained qi condensing pill * 1]
[Congratulations to the host, obtained bigu pill * 1]
...
[Congratulations to the host, obtained Breath Concealment Technique * 1]
[Congratulations to the host, obtained qi and blood pill * 1]
...
Chen Yan: "(╬◣д◢)"
"System, come out!"
"I swear I won't beat you to death!"
"Why is it these trash pills again!"
"I'm relying on you to help me make a comeback and get rich, not to pick up trash!"
Chen Yan looked at the pills in his hand, wishing he could pull the ten-draw roulette out of his mind, smash it on the ground, and stomp it to pieces!
Other people's Systems would give out Divine Artifacts, divine techniques, and one-click Ascension!
Everything was so cool and awesome!
"How come when it gets to me, it's so damn stingy!"
"The only ten-draw function is like constipation, squeezing out a little bit at a time, and I have to wait and hope!"
"Sigh~"
Chen Yan sighed heavily.
"Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat!"
"It seems that no matter which world you are in, this is the truth!"
"A bigu pill is 0.1 Spirit Stones; a qi condensing pill is 1 Spirit Stone; the qi and blood pill is the most valuable, 10 Spirit Stones..."
He calculated silently in his heart: 1,000 Rebellious Disciple Value for one ten-draw, and after deducting the Breath Concealment Technique automatically instilled by the System, it could only sell for 13 Spirit Stones!
"This is sinful~"
Chen Yan felt like crying.
"At this rate, I won't be able to get rich at all!"
"It seems the goal of 'providing for' my Revered Master is a long and arduous journey!"
He tearfully clicked the lucky ten-draw in his heart again.
"No choice, a mosquito's leg, no matter how small, is still meat!"
"Currently, the Rebellious Disciple Value has no other use besides the ten-draw!"
"But I still have to live, and I still have to provide for my Revered Master!"
[Congratulations to the host, obtained qi condensing pill * 3]
[Congratulations to the host, obtained qi and blood pill * 3]
[Congratulations to the host, obtained bigu pill * 3]
[Congratulations to the host, obtained Great Strength Pill Pill Formula!]
[Congratulations to the host, Rebellious Disciple Value consumption reached 3000, unlocked Rebellious Disciple Mall function! Ten-draw prizes can be purchased directly from the mall!]
Chen Yan: "(o゚▽゚)o?"
"Damn!"
"There's a new function?"
"I finally don't have to be scammed by the ten-draw?"
He looked at the System message, had a thought, and happily opened the mall.
Then...
He saw that the so-called mall had only a few items hanging there.
[bigu pill * 10: 1 Rebellious Disciple Value]
[qi condensing pill * 10: 10 Rebellious Disciple Value]
[qi and blood pill * 10: 100 Rebellious Disciple Value]
"The things in the mall are all the prizes from my ten-draw!"
Chen Yan: "convex(艹皿艹)"
"What use do I have for this mall!"
[It's cheap!]
Chen Yan: "...I thank you!"
"Can I... never escape the Hell of the ten-draw?"
"But to be fair, buying directly from the mall is indeed much more cost-effective than the ten-draw!"
"Forget it, forget it~"
"People can't get fat in one bite."
"I can't get rich overnight either!"
Chen Yan sighed heavily and went straight to the trading market of the Taiqing Sword Sect.
The market was located in the cave heaven on the east side of the outer gate, which was the main place for Sect Disciples to trade.
As soon as he entered the market, his ears were filled with various hawking sounds.
Each stall had a sign and a banner, writing what the stall was selling, clear at a glance!
Chen Yan didn't linger, found a secluded corner with no one, and took out a plaque.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote:
"Pills that even Sword Venerable Shuanghua says are good after using!"
"Pfft!"
In the bamboo house of the Ninth Peak, Leng Qingshuang spat out a mouthful of spiritual tea, her face flushed red: "This Rebellious Disciple... really deserves to die..."
In the Taiqing Sword Sect, the name of Sword Venerable Shuanghua had an immediate effect!
As soon as Chen Yan hung up the sign, someone came "admiring the name."
"Are you a Disciple of the Ninth Peak? The pills you are selling, does the Sword Venerable really say they are good?"
"Is it Junior Brother Chen? Isn't your Ninth Peak almost out of food? Do you still have extra pills to sell?"
"Junior Brother, what kind of pills are you selling?"
"Come, come! Pills that the Sword Venerable says are good, I must buy two!"
Chen Yan looked at the crowd surrounding his stall and laughed from ear to ear.
He quickly took out the pills he had and placed them on the stall one by one: "Senior Brothers and Sisters, don't worry, everyone has some!"
"I am the head Disciple of the Ninth Peak! My Revered Master is Sword Venerable Shuanghua!"
"These pills are all good pills personally acknowledged by my Revered Master!"
"Honest business, large quantity, and preferential treatment!"
Everyone thought it was some kind of spirit medicine, but when they looked down and saw that they were just some low-level pills, they couldn't help but laugh:
"Junior Brother Chen, Sword Venerable Shuanghua is in the Mahayana Realm, how could she eat these low-level pills?"
"That's right! Chen Yan, you are using the Sword Venerable's name to cheat, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Sword Venerable?"
Chen Yan was not panicked and smiled at them.
He said loudly: "Senior Brothers and Sisters, you also know that my Revered Master is in the Mahayana Realm!"
"Then do you think she doesn't know that I am selling pills here in her name?"
"Even this lowest-level bigu pill, my Revered Master says it's good after eating it!"
One word stirred up a thousand waves!
Everyone suddenly realized.
That's right!
Who is Sword Venerable Shuanghua?
The only Mahayana Realm in the Taiqing Sword Sect!
With her Divine Sense covering a thousand miles, how could she not know what Chen Yan did?
"Damn! Then I want a bottle of qi and blood pills!"
"I want 3 bottles of qi condensing pills!"
"Damn, don't grab it! Leave me a bottle!"
"Damn it! It's not a high-level pill, why are you buying so many! I want 5 bottles!"
"Pills that the Sword Venerable says are good, I have to taste them!"
Chen Yan looked at the grabbing crowd, and his face was full of joy.
"Revered Master, don't blame your Disciple!"
"The Disciple does this for our happy future!"
On the Ninth Peak, Leng Qingshuang covered her eyes helplessly, looking like she couldn't bear to see anyone.
"Damn Rebellious Disciple..."
"Hehe~"
In the market cave heaven.
Chen Yan looked at the pile of Spirit Stones lying in the System space, overjoyed.
Over 1,100!
The first pot of gold in his life was here!
And among them, the most sold were the most practical qi and blood pills.
Even to satisfy everyone's needs, he redeemed several bottles directly from the mall!
"This System mall is not so useless after all~"
Just as Chen Yan was about to put away the stall sign and go home.
A sarcastic voice came from the side: "Yo, isn't this the head Disciple of the Ninth Peak?"
