37: Chapter 37 100,000 spirit stones in hand, this young master will pay for everything!

In front of the testing stele.

Bai Yunzhou looked at his testing results.

Two zhang nine chi five cun!

He felt a slight surprise in his heart, but it was still within expectations.

"My result should be about the same as Liu Qingmo's, right?"

Thinking this, he turned his head to look at the testing ranking list on the side.

Impartially and precisely, he ranked exactly 100th.

That place originally belonged to Liu Qingmo.

But due to his rise, the other party had already dropped to 101st place.

Seeing this change in ranking, Bai Yunzhou swore that he definitely did not do it on purpose.

At this moment, the testing plaza had long fallen into utter silence.

To be able to rush into the top hundred on the Foundation testing leaderboard with Mid Foundation Establishment cultivation, such a profound Foundation was definitely terrifying.

One could even say that before Liu Qingmo appeared, such a result was in a league of its own.

Yet even so, everyone present was immensely astonished.

Finally, after who knows how long, someone below finally reacted and shouted:

"I never expected that in our sect, besides Junior Sister Liu, there would actually be someone else who could rush into the top hundred of the leaderboard with Mid Foundation Establishment cultivation!"

"That's not right, two zhang nine chi five cun! The profoundness of this Junior Brother's Foundation is even above Liu Qingmo's!"

"Bai Yunzhou? Why does this name look somewhat familiar?"

"How could it not be familiar! He is that Genius Junior Brother who made it onto the leaderboard not long ago with Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation!"

"What! How is this possible! It has only been a month or two since he last made it onto the leaderboard, and back then his cultivation was only Early Stage Foundation Establishment. How could his cultivation improve so fast!"

"More importantly, while his cultivation improved so fast, he also has such a profound Foundation!"

"..."

As the shocked voices of the surrounding Disciples continued to ring out, Wan Tong and the others had already recovered from their shock.

Yuan Fengnian looked up and down at Bai Yunzhou, unable to help exclaiming:

"I never expected Junior Brother to be Bai Yunzhou. Senior Brother having your assistance this time is truly striking great luck!"

Wan Tong and the others, however, were somewhat embarrassed.

Just moments ago, those few people had looked down on the other party, yet the other party actually achieved a 100th-place result with Mid Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Such a profound Foundation was even more terrifying than their current Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"Junior Brother Bai, I am Wan Tong. What happened just now was my fault."

Wan Tong decisively apologized.

Although this looked somewhat disgraceful, Bai Yunzhou had already used his strength to prove his potential.

One could say that as long as he did not fall, he would definitely be a powerhouse above the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

As elite Inner Sect Disciples, they were naturally not fools.

Now that they had already offended the other party, they should resolve the grudges early.

Bai Yunzhou, however, asked with puzzlement:

"What matter? Why don't I know about it?"

Wan Tong was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, and laughed loudly:

"Good! Junior Brother is truly a marvelous person. I have decided to make friends with you as my Junior Brother."

As he spoke, he took out a sound-transmission Jade Slip from his storage ring and handed it into Bai Yunzhou's hands.

Bai Yunzhou also took out his own identity token and exchanged it with the other party.

Although the profoundness of the other party's Foundation was below his, to be able to rush into the top 200 of the leaderboard with Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, this Wan Tong was undoubtedly also a Genius.

Since the other party now took the initiative to be on good terms with him, he naturally would not refuse.

The few people nearby, seeing this, also successively apologized and expressed their intention to forge a friendship.

Seeing this, Yuan Fengnian immediately squeezed forward and tossed out a storage ring:

"Junior Brother Bai, this is the remuneration previously promised to you!"

Seeing the storage ring handed over by the other party, Bai Yunzhou's eyes lit up.

You must know that a storage ring was much more precious than a Storage Pouch, and the storage space inside it was also much larger.

It's just that the selling price of this storage ring was exorbitant, starting at least at hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Therefore, being able to own a storage ring of one's own generally meant being a clan Disciple with abundant family wealth, or a Cultivator above the Core Formation stage with good financial resources.

This time he really made a huge profit... Bai Yunzhou took the storage ring, didn't even check it, and immediately put it away properly.

After all, just the value of this storage ring alone surpassed the originally promised 100,000 Spirit Stone remuneration.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother Yuan!"

Seeing Bai Yunzhou accept his gift, Yuan Fengnian immediately smiled from ear to ear.

For him, being able to befriend a Prodigy with a storage ring meant this deal was definitely not a loss.

Just when everyone was happy, an angry voice rang out.

"Bai Yunzhou, it really is you!"

In front of the stele, the few people were chatting happily when they suddenly heard Cao Xun's voice coming over.

Only then did Yuan Fengnian remember that he still had a gambling bet with Cao Xun.

He immediately turned around to look at the other party, saying with a proud expression:

"Cao Xun, how is it? Now that you have lost, shouldn't you fulfill the previous agreement?"

Cao Xun ignored him, instead waving his hand to order his several followers to surround Bai Yunzhou.

"Bai Yunzhou, you punched me last time and let you escape. This time I want to see how you can escape!"

Feeling that he was being ignored, Yuan Fengnian immediately became unhappy.

He stood in front of Bai Yunzhou, blocking Cao Xun's gaze, and spoke in a cold voice:

"What, Cao Xun, do you want to renege on your debt?"

Suppressing his anger, Cao Xun spoke:

"Yuan Fengnian, move aside for me. This is a matter between me and Bai Yunzhou, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"You tell me to move and I'll move?"

Yuan Fengnian let out a cold snort, "Then wouldn't I lose too much Face?"

"Besides, Junior Brother Bai is here to help me. If he gets bullied by you here and word gets out, who would ever dare to come help me in the future?"

Having said that, he looked around at the few people surrounding Bai Yunzhou and said to Wan Tong and the others on the side:

"Senior Brothers, sorry to trouble you to help keep an eye on them. If they dare to make a move, please do not stand on ceremony and directly strike."

"All consequences afterwards will be borne by me!"

"Moreover, any Senior or Junior Brother who makes a move can receive a hard-earned fee of one thousand Spirit Stones!"

Hearing these words, Wan Tong and the others immediately agreed.

After all, they already wanted to befriend Bai Yunzhou now. If they could take this opportunity to make the other party owe a favor, they would naturally be more than happy to do so.

Furthermore, there were Spirit Stones to be taken, so how could they possibly refuse.

After finishing speaking with them, Yuan Fengnian turned his head to look at the crowd of Disciples around the plaza:

"Right, if any of you are willing to come forward and help, there are also Spirit Stones to be taken!"

As his voice fell, the Disciples throughout the entire plaza became envious and hot-eyed, looking ready to make a move at any time.

Most of those present were ordinary Disciples, and quite a few people had been bullied by Cao Xun and his cohorts.

Now that there was a chance for revenge, and Spirit Stones to be taken, everyone naturally chafed at the bit.

This fellow really is a filthy rich bastard... Bai Yunzhou was dumbfounded, unable to keep himself from feeling envious.

As expected, having money is great everywhere!

Seeing this situation, Cao Xun's several followers clearly showed tension on their Faces.

Although the strength of those few of them was not weak, facing such a large group of Inner Sect Disciples, with quite a few experts on the Foundation leaderboard, if a real fight broke out, the ones getting beaten up would definitely be the few of them.

Finally, under this pressure, someone couldn't help looking at Cao Xun, asking via sound transmission whether they should retreat.

Cao Xun's expression was likewise ugly.

However, to let Bai Yunzhou off just like that left bitterness in his heart.

Thus, he wanted to seek help from the lingering soul inside his ring, but he didn't expect that the other party was still in deep slumber and couldn't be woken up at all.

In this case, he could only let Bai Yunzhou off temporarily, waiting to retaliate when he found an opportunity in the future.

"Bai Yunzhou, this time you had this fellow Yuan Fengnian throwing money to help, next time you won't be so lucky!"

He finished saying through gritted teeth, then waved his hand, preparing to leave with his several followers.

"Wait!"

Yuan Fengnian looked at him and said proudly:

"Cao Xun, did you forget something?"

"Or could it be that someone can't afford to lose and wants to renege on their debt and run away?"

Cao Xun had failed to take down Bai Yunzhou and already had a belly full of fire; now, being blocked on the road by Yuan Fengnian, he was even more furious.

But thinking that the manpower he currently brought was simply not enough, and he was in the wrong, he immediately threw out a Storage Pouch:

"There are 30,000 Spirit Stones inside here, enough for you to summon twenty top courtesans at the Cuihua Pavilion."

Yuan Fengnian took the Storage Pouch without even checking it.

He just weighed it in his hand, looking at Cao Xun with a smile that was not a smile:

"And what else?"

"Could it be that you forgot the condition you added afterwards?"

Cao Xun gnashed his teeth:

"Yuan Fengnian, don't go too far!"

He was the dignified Second Young Master of the Cao Family, and now also a Genius ranked 153rd on the Foundation testing leaderboard. How could he possibly bark like a dog in public!

If he really did such a thing, he would truly lose all his Face!

Upon returning home, he would inevitably suffer severe punishment.

In the future, it would be even harder for him to gain a foothold within the Qingxuan Sect.

"How am I going too far?"

Seeing his gnashing appearance, Yuan Fengnian felt immensely gratified, "Wasn't this condition proposed by you?"

Cao Xun glared angrily, yet didn't know how to retort.

Just at this moment, one of his followers said:

"Junior Brother Yuan, everyone is of the same sect, why make things look so ugly?"

"How about I have Junior Brother Cao give you another 30,000 Spirit Stones?"

Yuan Fengnian looked at the person speaking and sneered:

"30,000 Spirit Stones?"

"Do you think this Young Master looks like someone who lacks these 30,000 Spirit Stones?"

That person's Face revealed embarrassment.

Indeed!

The Yuan Family had a large chamber of commerce.

As a direct descendant of the Yuan Family, Yuan Fengnian was simply impossible to lack Spirit Stones, and naturally looked down upon those 30,000 Spirit Stones.

But right at this moment, Yuan Fengnian shifted his gaze back to Cao Xun, his words taking a turn:

"Cao Xun, you gave me an opportunity just now, and now I'll give you an opportunity."

"As long as you hand over 200,000 Spirit Stones, the remaining bet will be considered settled. How about it?"

He and Cao Xun were old rivals and knew the other party's bottom line.

Seeing that it was almost enough, he decisively chose to stop.

Lest he truly anger the other party to the extreme, which would be truly troublesome by then.

Sure enough, upon hearing the conditions offered by Yuan Fengnian, Cao Xun struggled for a bit and still agreed:

"Three days later, 200,000 Spirit Stones, I will send someone to deliver them to you."

"Now, can I leave?"

Although he was a direct descendant of the Cao Family, 200,000 Spirit Stones were not something he could casually pull out like Yuan Fengnian.

He needed some time to raise the money.

"Naturally you can."

Yuan Fengnian smiled and motioned to clear a path.

Until Cao Xun left the testing plaza, Yuan Fengnian then laughed loudly:

"Haha, exhilarating!"

As he spoke, he opened the Storage Pouch that Cao Xun had previously handed to him, taking out all 30,000 Spirit Stones inside.

Then he took out another 20,000 Spirit Stones from his own storage ring, for a total of 50,000 Spirit Stones, and distributed all of them to everyone present.

Calculating on average, everyone obtained several hundred pieces.

For a time, everyone was overjoyed.

Only when he was distributing the money did he find that Bai Yunzhou's figure was already nowhere to be seen.

Thus, he took out a sound-transmission Jade Slip to inquire, only to learn that because the other party worried about Cao Xun's retaliation, he had long left in advance.

At this, he was also stunned for a moment.

That he was able to recover his Face today was entirely thanks to Bai Yunzhou's merit.

But now that the other party had already left, he could only express compensating him next time.

Afterwards, he looked around the surroundings again and shouted loudly:

"This Young Master is happy today, Senior and Junior Brothers, let's head to the Cuihua Pavilion!"

"This Young Master will cover all expenses for the entire place today!"
