usury

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Zhou Yuan, his mouth opened, wanting to say something, but not a single word came out.

A penny can stump a hero!

In the cultivation world, Spirit Stones were their confidence!

The former Zhang Chen was straightforward, capable, and loyal!

But over the years, various hardships had changed him.

"You are Zhou Yuan?"

Hou Nie looked at Zhou Yuan, speaking in disbelief.

Zhang Bohu had always felt Zhou Yuan was very familiar, but couldn't remember who he was.

Just now, because the matter was urgent, he didn't have time to ask Zhang Chen. At this moment, hearing Hou Nie's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and recognize Zhou Yuan.

You must know, back then in Wang Sheng Great Prison, the most famous person was undoubtedly Zhou Yuan.

Slaughtering pigs was something everyone disliked; doing it too much would damage Lifespan and accelerate aging.

Only Zhou Yuan was completely fearless, killing one or two hundred a day had no effect on him, which undoubtedly made Zhou Yuan a celebrity in Wang Sheng Great Prison.

Coupled with the fact that Zhou Yuan was also very easy to get along with, he was quite popular in Wang Sheng Great Prison!

Hou Nie and Zhang Bohu both knew Zhou Yuan, and had even chatted and drank together!

Hearing Hou Nie's words, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but say with a smile, "Hou Nie, Zhang Bohu, long time no see!"

Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, smiles appeared on the Faces of Hou Nie and Zhang Bohu.

Then, seeing Zhou Yuan's even younger Face, they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads!

Liu Jinzhong, Ge Hao, and others heard Zhou Yuan speak and couldn't help but turn to look at Zhou Yuan. Liu Jinzhong frowned slightly.

Over the years, Liu Jinzhong had seen many people. Just by looking at Zhou Yuan's attire, he could tell that this person was not simple.

However, his visit today was not just to collect the Spirit Stones Zhang Chen owed, but for another purpose.

Liu Jinzhong had gone to great lengths to find out that Zhang Chen and the others actually came from Wang Sheng Great Prison.

Moreover, Zhang Chen possessed a special Cultivation Technique, rumored to support cultivation up to the Golden Core Realm!

This made Liu Jinzhong and Ge Hao's hearts pound. It was precisely for this reason that Ge Hao was willing to accompany Liu Jinzhong on this trip.

You must know, the current Ge Hao was already at the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but without a corresponding Cultivation Technique, he would never be able to condense a Golden Core in his lifetime.

When Liu Jinzhong told him this news, how could Ge Hao not be tempted?

Liu Jinzhong frowned slightly, then said, "Sir, Zhang Chen owes our Yidian Merchant House three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Adding compound interest, he needs to repay eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Are you really sure you want to help him repay it?"

Liu Jinzhong looked at Zhou Yuan; he couldn't sense any fluctuations of spiritual power from the other party.

This made him even more apprehensive and dare not offend him easily.

There was no law in Qinglin City; the strongest fist was the only law.

He was very clear that if the person he offended was too powerful, the master behind him would not possibly step forward to help him.

"You're spouting nonsense! There's no way it's that much! He only borrowed two thousand in total!"

"Even with interest, it's only three thousand. How could it be eight thousand?"

As soon as Liu Jinzhong's words fell, Zhang Chen's voice rang out, his Face showing indignation!

Zhang Bohu and Hou Nie also glared fiercely at Liu Jinzhong, their Faces filled with extreme anger.

"Zhang Chen, you can take out the original promissory note and look; it's all clearly written on it!"

"You initially borrowed two thousand, that's right, but you didn't repay on time!"

"According to the regulations on the promissory note, after the deadline, it automatically doubles, meaning you borrowed four thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"The promissory note also states that once overdue, the interest each month is the same as the principal!"

"If you want to settle it, you must pay eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, otherwise this matter will not be concluded!"

"Of course, if you delay for another month, it will double again, and you will have to return sixteen thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

A look of smugness appeared in Liu Jinzhong's eyes, and then he began to explain to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen, Zhang Bohu, and Hou Nie heard this, and their Faces simultaneously turned extremely ugly, but they really couldn't say anything, because it seemed that this rule was indeed on the promissory note!

At this moment, Zhou Yuan, holding Xin Yudie's hand, had come to Zhang Chen and the other two. Hearing Liu Jinzhong's words, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He didn't expect the usury in the cultivation world to be so terrifying!

With a wave of his hand, eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones directly appeared before Liu Jinzhong.

"Bring the promissory note, take the Spirit Stones, and get lost immediately!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes as he looked at Liu Jinzhong.

Liu Jinzhong only felt a chill run through his body. These eyes were too terrifying; he felt as if his entire body was restrained.

Ge Hao behind him also felt a terrifying pressure, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn.

A bold thought instantly arose in their minds: the person before them was likely a Golden Core True Person!

If Zhou Yuan knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely laugh until he choked.

A trace of unwillingness appeared in Liu Jinzhong's eyes, but the other party had directly produced eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, what else could he do?

He took out a piece of silk from his pocket and presented it to Zhang Chen!

Zhang Chen was looking at Zhou Yuan at this moment, his body trembling slightly.

The man who was originally like iron, now had mist filling his eyes. If he hadn't been suppressing it forcefully, he might have already cried out.

He hadn't expected that Zhou Yuan would be willing to lend a helping hand.

"Zhou Yuan, thank you. I will return these Spirit Stones to you in the future!"

Zhang Chen spoke seriously, his gaze unprecedentedly earnest!

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly and nodded slowly. He didn't care about these Spirit Stones at all!

But men need Face; he didn't want Zhang Chen to have a burden in his heart!

Zhang Chen reached out and took the piece of silk from Liu Jinzhong's hand. After opening it and glancing at it, he confirmed it was his!

He directly clenched his hand, and the piece of silk instantly turned into powder.

This was a huge stone pressing down on his heart; he was almost suffocated by the pressure. Now that the silk dissipated, he also breathed a sigh of relief!

Liu Jinzhong put away the eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, took a deep look at Zhou Yuan, and then left with Ge Hao and the others, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

As they walked past the corner, Ge Hao immediately said, "What should we do about this? You promised this old man that you would get that Cultivation Technique for me to see!"

Liu Jinzhong's eyes rolled around, and then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Old Ge, let's go back and report this matter to the master. This person is very likely a Golden Core True Person!"

"We'll just say that this Zhang Chen was someone from Wang Sheng Great Prison back then, and he might possess many Cultivation Techniques and secret skills!"

"When the master hears this, he will definitely be tempted. At that time, if we follow behind him, we can also get a piece of the action, right?"

Liu Jinzhong spoke, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ge Hao heard Liu Jinzhong's words and couldn't help but nod slowly. He actually meant the same thing.

Zhou Yuan heard the conversation between the two and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Originally, he couldn't be bothered to argue with these people, but since the other party was seeking death, he would fulfill their wish!

His Spirit Stones were not that easy to take!
