Chương 104: Borrow Swords and Money
"Eighty thousand!"
The disciple from the Imperial Capital blurted it out directly, not giving Qiu Li any chance to reply at all.
Chen Xia, who was standing by, remained silent. How could someone ask to borrow eighty thousand just like that? But if he could really borrow that much...
Well, that would be good.
So he continued to keep silent.
Qiu Li was stunned again in his expression. After looking back and forth between the two of them several times, he slowly said.
"Within the sect, it's prohibited for potential Great Emperor disciples to kill each other. So it's naturally even more forbidden to use force to rob money."
"You're so hesitant just to borrow a bit of money from you. Just say if you don't have it. You poor wretch!"
The disciple from the Imperial Capital shouted disdainfully, being so arrogant that he didn't look like someone borrowing money at all, perfectly playing the role of a villain.
"If you're rich, why did you come to borrow from me?!" Qiu Li also grasped the key point and retorted.
"It's not me who wants to borrow. It's Brother Chen who wants to borrow." The disciple from the Imperial Capital shifted his gaze to Chen Xia, who was standing by, and replied.
Chen Xia nodded. "Indeed."
It had to be said that the attitudes of these two when borrowing money were really something. So much so that Qiu Li felt that they would come up and rob him directly in the next second.
The word "borrow" was just a more refined way of putting it.
"Then you've also borrowed?" Qiu Li asked the disciple from the Imperial Capital in confusion.
"Of course." The disciple from the Imperial Capital replied.
"How much did you borrow?" Qiu Li asked again.
"Eighty thousand!" The disciple from the Imperial Capital still gave this answer.
Chen Xia's eyes twitched at the side. Fortunately, he had written an IOU, and it recorded twenty-five thousand on it. Otherwise, he really couldn't bear the disciple from the Imperial Capital shouting about eighty thousand like this.
When Qiu Li heard that the disciple from the Imperial Capital had offered eighty thousand, he immediately frowned deeply. He didn't want to show weakness, but he also had doubts.
"Where did you get eighty thousand spirit stones to lend?"
"None of your business." The disciple from the Imperial Capital curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I sold all my magic weapons, pills, and cultivation techniques at a low price. To raise money for Brother Chen, I would even sell my two kidneys. You stingy thing, you don't understand anything!"
Chen Xia tilted his head to one side and whistled. He also touched his nose with his left hand, pretending not to hear.
If Qiu Li really sold his magic weapons, pills, and cultivation techniques at a low price, or even went to sell his two kidneys, it definitely had nothing to do with him.
After all, he hadn't instigated it.
Qiu Li gritted his teeth. He really didn't want to show weakness, but he couldn't take out so many spirit stones, so his face turned a bit red as he shouted.
"It's just eighty thousand spirit stones. I'll just withdraw the spirit stones from my family. But the procedures are a bit complicated. For now, I can lend Chen Xia thirty thousand spirit stones first."
The disciple from the Imperial Capital's pupils dilated. He directly took out a turquoise knife from his bosom and roared sarcastically.
"So much nonsense. Do you dare to just cut off your kidney and raise some spirit stones for Brother Chen? I think you're not only poor but also a coward!"
"If you don't even dare to cut off your own kidney, how can you become a Great Emperor?!"
"Forget it, forget it. Thirty thousand is enough. After all, not everyone is as brave as you." Chen Xia couldn't hold it in anymore and persuaded at the side.
"Humph, forget it. After all, you're indeed inferior to us two. It's normal that you don't dare to cut off your own kidney."
The disciple from the Imperial Capital put away the turquoise knife.
Qiu Li's already flushed face became even redder, and there was even some steam coming out.
He could endure other taunts, but he just couldn't bear this sentence from the disciple from the Imperial Capital.
Qiu Li had sealed himself away for two great eras before, just to avoid the fiercest potential Great Emperor disciples in other great eras and then emerge in the most prosperous great era that followed.
He wanted to achieve his own path to becoming an emperor and definitely didn't want to be stepped on by anyone.
Even in the face of Chen Xia, who was invincible among the preparatory disciples now, Qiu Li didn't feel that he was being stepped on.
He just thought that his realm wasn't high enough, so he couldn't defeat Chen Xia. As long as his realm improved, he definitely wouldn't lose!
Definitely!
But this sentence from the disciple from the Imperial Capital, that he was inferior to them two, made Qiu Li unable to hold back any longer. His eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth tightly.
He directly drew the saber from his waist and stabbed it towards his waist. Blood splashed everywhere.
The disciple from the Imperial Capital looked on with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Damn, he really cut it off!
Chen Xia had a different thought.
How much was a potential Great Emperor disciple's kidney worth?
Waiting online, urgent.
Qiu Li endured the pain and gritted his teeth. "I'll go and sell it later. I'll definitely lend you the remaining eighty thousand spirit stones. All of you, remember this. I'm no worse than either of you!"
"Alright, alright." Chen Xia nodded and at the same time waved his hand to tell the disciple from the Imperial Capital to stop talking. He was really afraid that Qiu Li wouldn't be able to bear the stimulation and cut himself up completely.
Then his eighty thousand spirit stones would be gone.
However, cutting off a kidney wasn't a serious injury. It would be okay after being nourished with medicinal herbs for a period of time. It was even lighter than Chen Xia's hand injury.
In the end, Chen Xia borrowed fifty-five thousand spirit stones from the two potential Great Emperor disciples, the disciple from the Imperial Capital and Qiu Li. Because of the IOU, he didn't need to pawn his swords on credit.
But added together, it was still far from enough for three hundred thousand spirit stones.
So Chen Xia asked Zhang Daoming to spread the word that he was short of money and needed to borrow money. He could pawn swords on credit and let people experience what it was like to be a sword cultivator.
Borrow one thousand spirit stones and pawn a spirit sword on credit. Borrow five thousand spirit stones and pawn a dao sword on credit.
It had to be said that this method really worked.
Some people wanted to please Chen Xia, while others wanted to experience the feeling of having a flying sword.
Disciples came to Chen Xia one after another, but none of them could lend much, just dozens or hundreds of spirit stones.
They all wanted to get acquainted with Chen Xia, to make it convenient for future interactions, or even go further. What if they developed some friendship?
Nowadays, Chen Xia was the only hotshot among the preparatory disciples, and his value far exceeded that of the other two potential Great Emperor disciples.
Being able to compete with Qiong Qi at the sixth level of the Overturning Sea Realm when he was at the peak of the Mountain Moving Realm, how terrifying would Chen Xia be when he entered the Overturning Sea Realm?
He would definitely win against Qiong Qi, that is, he would surely secure the fifth position among the formal disciples.
And if things continued like this, Chen Xia could definitely establish himself as the number one among the younger generation in the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.
For such an existence with outstanding talent, the preparatory disciples naturally wanted to try every means to interact with him while they still had the chance.
Besides, lending money and getting a temporarily obedient flying sword in return wasn't a loss at all. There was even a small profit.
Naturally, they were willing to lend money to Chen Xia.
"One hundred and thirty spirit stones. Here's a low-grade spirit sword for you."
Chen Xia kept records while summoning a small green sword and suspending it beside the cultivator.
"It can help you defend against enemies. But you should pay attention to its mood. If it doesn't help you, it has nothing to do with me."
"Alright, alright, alright." The preparatory disciple quickly nodded, looking at the small green sword excitedly. He didn't expect that he could also be a sword cultivator.
This was a real flying sword, the most powerful weapon among magic weapons in terms of lethality.
However, this disciple also had some concerns. "Won't this flying sword turn on its master?"
After all, there were quite a number of records in history of flying swords turning on their masters, and ninety-nine percent of them were sword cultivators. Even sword cultivators might not be able to suppress their own flying swords. How could he ensure that he could handle it?
"Probably not." Chen Xia replied.
The preparatory disciple was stunned and asked again, "Why is it probably not?"
"Because there's also a possibility that it will."
Chen Xia gave this answer.
