Chapter 197 Persuasion
Chapter 197 Persuasion
After Mu Sen and Jian Wu regained consciousness, they smelled the stench on their bodies and considered their physical condition.
He lowered his eyes to conceal the turmoil in his heart.
If they're not mistaken, this should be the legendary top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill.
No wonder it sells for 1,500 high-grade spirit stones; that price is higher than most ninth-tier items, but it's worth it.
"Alright, quickly clean up the surroundings, then go back and each of you find one disciple. Remember, this is not on credit. You can only buy as many pills as you have spirit stones. Quantities are limited, and you won't get them after the deadline."
Tu Shan waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.
Such a good product, of course I should buy as much as I can.
Mu Sen and Jian Wu exchanged a glance and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
Tu Shan planned to move slightly to the side, feeling that the place was too smelly.
Mu Sen remembered that Zhong Qi and Geng Yu had previously possessed 20,000 high-grade spirit stones, so he decided to tell Geng Yu first.
Upon returning to the sect, he immediately sent a message to Geng Yu.
Upon receiving Mu Sen's message, Geng Yu rushed over immediately, not even having time to greet Zhong Qi when they met on the way.
Seeing his hurried and flustered appearance, Zhong Qi assumed that something serious had happened and followed him.
Dongfang Gui and Chen Miao were returning to the sect to hand in their missions when they saw the two of them looking at each other. They hadn't even handed in their missions yet, and had sent their other junior brothers and sisters to hand them in first. They hurriedly caught up with them.
When Mu Sen saw Geng Yu, he noticed that Geng Yu had three tails following him, and he glared at him fiercely.
"Master, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that your grandmaster needs to see you, but he can only go one at a time."
Why go one by one?
"Don't ask anything! I remember you had 20,000 high-grade spirit stones before, and you didn't spend them all, right?"
"No! What's wrong? You want to borrow money, you old geezer? It's not impossible, but I'll charge some interest."
Geng Yu's eyes darted around. He knew the old man had 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, and he figured he could swindle as many as he could.
"Get out! I don't want to see you. Go to Black Flame Valley and find your grandmaster. Remember to spend nine thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy six of them. Don't ask any other questions."
Nine thousand high-grade spirit stones? That many?
Mu Sen was furious, thinking that Jian Wu must have already sent someone, while his apprentice was still dawdling.
“If you’re not going, Zhong Qi, you go first. When Zhong Qi comes back, the three of you can discuss it and then go.”
"No, Master, how could you change people at the last minute? I'll go, I'll go right now!"
After Geng Yu finished speaking, he disappeared before Zhong Qi could finish.
Zhong Qi stared speechlessly at his disappearing figure.
He could sense that his senior uncle's strength had become even more unfathomable, and he couldn't help but ask, "Senior uncle, is it related to your increased strength?"
"Yes, so the three of you must live up to expectations. Don't think it's expensive; your senior master guarantees it's a great deal."
Mu Sen nodded solemnly.
Dongfang Gui said, "But, Uncle-Master, I didn't take that many spirit stones."
This is also a problem; not everyone is like his disciple, who has so many high-grade spirit stones at such a young age.
He thought for a moment, then said to Zhong Qi, "When Geng Yu comes back, it'll be your turn to go. Don't ask any questions, and don't delay. The number is limited, understand?"
"Yes, Senior Uncle!"
"Alright, you two, come with me!"
Mu Sen led them to find Zhou Yuntian.
"Is Junior Brother there?"
"Senior brother!"
"Quickly, lend them ten thousand high-grade spirit stones each, they need them urgently!"
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones? Are you crazy? No way!"
Zhou Yuntian immediately refused. He personally didn't have any, but Mu Sen was asking because he was definitely going to go through the sect's channels.
"If you don't give it to them, the benefits will be snatched away by the Tianyi Sword Sect. Don't regret it then."
"What benefits are worth 10,000 high-grade spirit stones?"
To be honest, Zhou Yuntian's curiosity was piqued.
"I can't tell you this. Just know that this is an opportunity known only to me and Jian Wu. If you don't go now, it will be too late."
"No, I can't make the decision to use such a large amount of spirit stones."
Mu Sen sighed heavily.
Luckily, those two brats had their own spirit stones; otherwise, getting spirit stones would have been even more difficult.
"Junior brother, oh dear, I can't explain this to you, you skinflint. Go get it. When have I ever done anything unreliable?"
"If you don't tell me, I have no reason to take it!"
Chen Miao and Dongfang Gui stared at the two exchanging words with bewildered expressions.
A full half hour passed, and there was still no result. Mu Sen grew impatient.
"Are you going to give it to me or not?!"
"Junior brother, it's not that I don't want to give it, it's just that I don't have the right to do so. Last time, the 50,000 high-grade spirit stones was already an exception, but this time it won't work."
"Then let me ask you, wasn't it worth it for the 50,000 high-grade spirit stones we used last time, which resulted in such a significant increase in our cultivation levels?"
Mu Sen and his two companions certainly knew that there were five high-level demonic beasts behind them, and it was definitely worth it.
But Zhou Yuntian didn't know that, in his opinion, exchanging 10,000 spirit stones for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was not worthwhile; exchanging it for a Body Integration stage cultivator would be more worthwhile.
Therefore, he decisively refused.
Mu Sen didn't want to ask Zhou Bapi, as he really didn't have that many spirit stones on hand right now, so he could only lower his head and leave with the two of them.
"Zhou Yuntian, you'll regret this!"
As Zhou Yuntian watched the three figures leave, he wondered for a moment if he had made a mistake.
This junior brother is usually not very reliable, but he never lets you down when it matters. He frowned and thought for a long time.
He gazed at the pile of high-grade spirit stones in his storage ring.
Thirty thousand.
"Oh! I really owe you one!"
He hurriedly chased after him.
"Senior brother, senior brother!"
Mu Sen rolled his eyes impatiently and said irritably, "Speak!"
"Senior brother, don't be so impatient! I can't let the sect make an exception again, but as your senior brother, I can make an exception for you once. I only have 30,000 high-grade spirit stones in total. I'll lend you 20,000, not to them."
They don't know when they'll be able to pay it back, so you should pay it for them first.
If it is indeed beneficial to the sect as you say, I will find a way to reimburse you.
"The sect doesn't belong to me alone, nor to just a few of us. We already spent 50,000 last time, and some people are already complaining."
Mu Sen, thinking of Zhou Yuntian's predicament, softened his tone slightly.
"Sure, don't worry, I'll return it to you soon. Your senior brother can now refine five eighth-grade pills in one batch."
Zhou Yuntian thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother, if there are really benefits, could you take me with you? I'll give you ten thousand spirit stones too."
Mu Sen hesitated, "I can't make that decision. Only those of us who came before us got this benefit. I'll ask around for you later!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Zhou Yuntian saw Mu Sen and the other two off, unable to contain his excitement.
If he can gain even a little benefit, his cultivation level might rise rapidly. I hope my senior brother can make it happen.
Jian Wu of Tianyi Sword Sect summoned Jian You, Jian Leng, and their two disciples over.
None of the three of them had spirit stones, so they had no choice but to ask Jian You for help.
"Big brother, I'm now in the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. Take another look at my body."
Jian Wu stretched out his hand.
Jian took his pulse but couldn't detect a single impurity in his body.
"Brother, don't ask. Even if you ask, you can't tell me. The three of them need to change their physiques. Each of them needs nine thousand high-grade spirit stones. Will you give them the money?"
"Give!"
Without any hesitation, Jian gave each of the three people nine thousand high-grade spirit stones.
"Cheng Nan, go to Black Flame Valley now, someone is waiting for you there."
"It's Master!"
