บท 102: I'll Get 300,000 Spirit Stones for Your Life
"My dear master."
Hearing this title, the Third Elder patted his robe and said with a slightly cold expression on his face.
"I've already learned about the reason for your dispute with Qiong Qi when I came here. It was because this big yellow dog stole Qiong Qi's medicinal herbs. So it's only natural for Qiong Qi to beat the thief."
"And you, just because you wanted to stand up for the thief, you even wanted to fight Qiong Qi one-on-one. So it's you who are in the wrong. And now you're still being so obstinate. You're simply disregarding the rules!"
Hearing these words, Chen Xia was filled with anger. He thrust the bronze sword into the ground and pointed at Qiong Qi.
"Let's not talk about Qiong Qi's schemes for the moment. The big yellow dog only stole a white vine flower that ordinary disciples wouldn't even bother with. And given its nature, if it had been discovered, it would have immediately admitted its mistake and returned it."
"But Qiong Qi beat it until it was on the verge of death. Even if it was really beating a thief, there's no way to do it like this!"
Strictly speaking, the big yellow dog was only half a thief because it really wouldn't steal valuable things. Moreover, this medicinal herb field used to belong to Elder Lei before.
And Elder Lei didn't care if others took these low-level medicinal herbs.
The problem was that Qiong Qi bought Elder Lei's medicinal herb field without anyone knowing, and no one knew about it even after the purchase until the big yellow dog went to steal the white vine flower.
This was a calculated move.
"Who said this white vine flower is worthless?" Qiong Qi sneered, speaking word by word.
"The white vine flower that grew in my medicinal herb field is different. It's worth a fortune."
Chen Xia nodded and replied, "Then it seems that your life is worthless."
"Hehe." Qiong Qi sneered coldly. "You'd better think clearly. You're the one in the wrong. It's only right and proper for me to beat the thief. Besides, you can't afford to compensate for my losses."
"My white vine flower is a top-quality one worth 300,000 spirit stones. If you give me 300,000 spirit stones, I might forgive this wild dog."
When Qiong Qi said this, even Elder Lei, who had originally planted the medicinal herbs in the field, couldn't help but lower his head in shame.
300,000 spirit stones?!
He was the one who planted this white vine flower. Let alone 3 million spirit stones, it wasn't even worth half a spirit stone. One spirit stone could buy a whole bunch of white vine flowers.
Qiong Qi wasn't just talking nonsense with his eyes wide open.
He was talking nonsense out of his ass!
It was ridiculous, just fucking ridiculous.
Elder Lei lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed. When some glances were cast his way and people knew that this was the medicinal herb field he had planted, he didn't dare to look up at those gazes at all. He wished he could run away quickly.
The surrounding cultivators were also shocked by Qiong Qi's words and shook their heads one after another.
What was the concept of 300,000 spirit stones? A high-quality Dao herb of top grade was only worth about 100,000 spirit stones or so, and a great medicinal herb that could be sought after by powerful beings at the Heaven-Mending Realm was worth between 300,000 and 1 million spirit stones.
Was this one white vine flower equal to three high-quality Dao herbs or one low-grade great medicinal herb?
Wasn't this bullshit?
Almost everyone present thought it was ridiculous. Only one person didn't think so.
It was the Third Elder. At this moment, he was patting Qiong Qi's head and smiling contentedly. "You're a good disciple. It's really worth it that I've taught you so much."
This master and disciple pair were really a perfect match, birds of a feather flocking together.
"300,000 spirit stones, right?" Chen Xia nodded and didn't say anything more. He recalled the bronze sword into his body, turned around, and walked away slowly with a slightly staggering gait, dripping blood all the way.
The Third Elder smiled with satisfaction. "It's right to back off when you know you can't win."
This matter was considered to have come to an end for the time being.
Everyone thought that Chen Xia had endured it, and Chen Xia didn't say much either. He was just concerned about the injuries of the big yellow dog and Chi Yu.
Zhang Daoming fed them some healing elixirs, and they were slowly recovering their qi and blood. "Their lives are saved, but they've left some lingering ailments and need to be nursed slowly."
In other words, there would definitely be sequelae.
Chen Xia looked at the half-dead dog and bird and sighed. He didn't expect that these two unlucky brothers of his almost died on the same day.
"Put the cost of the elixirs you used on me. Remember how much it is, and I'll pay you back later."
Zhang Daoming nodded and, looking at the big yellow dog with its tongue hanging out, replied.
"Even if you didn't say so, I would remember. After all, we still have to keep accounts clearly. But I won't charge you for the labor cost. I'll only ask for the cost of the medicinal herbs."
"Okay." Chen Xia nodded. After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked again, "Can you lend me some money?"
Zhang Daoming was stunned for a moment. "How much do you want?"
"How much do you have?" Chen Xia asked again.
Zhang Daoming was even more stunned. He frowned and pursed his lips. "I've lived for so many years. Although alchemy costs a lot of money, I've also saved quite a bit. I probably have about 15,000 spirit stones. Except for the money I've reserved for my old age that I can't lend you, I can give you 10,000 spirit stones."
10,000 spirit stones was already a lot for ordinary cultivators, especially for a spirit alchemist like Zhang Daoming who needed money badly.
Being able to lend out 10,000 spirit stones was already giving Chen Xia enough face.
After all, a Dao herb was only worth between 30,000 and 100,000 spirit coins.
However, Zhang Daoming wasn't worried that Chen Xia couldn't pay him back. After all, Chen Xia was someone who could refine the Guan Xuan Dan.
The price of a Guan Xuan Dan was between 30,000 and 100,000 spirit coins, depending on the grade of the refined pill. The one Chen Xia refined last time was a fine-grade Guan Xuan Dan, which was sold at around 60,000 spirit coins.
Excluding 60% of the cost of the medicinal herbs, he could earn more than 20,000 spirit coins.
And generally, an alchemist had an interval of ten years between refining high-grade pills to ensure that the fortune was perfect.
That is to say, Chen Xia could earn 20,000 spirit coins in ten years and 200,000 in a hundred years.
Paying back Zhang Daoming's 10,000 spirit stones was more than enough.
This was the terrifying money-making ability of a Dao alchemist. A powerful alchemist was the most profitable existence in the Great Heavens.
They made much more money than other weapon forgers, talisman makers, and so on.
Zhang Daoming did what he said. He directly took out spirit stones from his storage magic weapon and took out three small golden jars one after another. "These are my money jars. There are 10,000 spirit stones in total. Just take them and open them."
Chen Xia didn't waste any words. He took the money jars, felt around on his body, and then pulled out a flying sword that was blazing with fire.
"Take this sword first. Consider it as something I'm lending to you on credit. I'll take it back when I pay you back."
This flying sword was of the Fire element among the Five Elements and was also the Yang Gang Golden Fire. It was very useful for heating the furnace. Moreover, it was one of the only 19,990 Dao swords in Chen Xia's body, so it was quite precious and was worth no less than 10,000 spirit stones.
Zhang Daoming was stunned for a moment. He didn't refuse. He took the blazing flying sword, examined it carefully, then looked at Chen Xia, hesitated for a moment, and still asked.
"Do you really want to gather 300,000 spirit stones for a white vine flower and for something that's already in the past?"
"No." Chen Xia shook his head. There was a brilliant sword light in his eyes, full of killing intent as he replied.
"This matter isn't over. On the contrary, it's just begun."
He would gather 300,000 spirit stones as the price of the white vine flower.
Similarly, when the time came, Qiong Qi would also have to pay the price of half a life each for the big yellow dog and Chi Yu.
That is, a whole life.
Chen Xia would take it with his own hands.
He had said so.
Qiong Qi would surely die by his hands.
