Chapter 201: Money? Rumors?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Xuan flew in the air with an unbelievable look, “Bro, I’m your f*cking client. How could you treat me like this?”
Right then, a very fast-flying-looking sandbag flew over an unknown distance and smashed onto the top of the western gate of the Western Capital. What was unbelievable was that it didn’t cause any damage to Lin Xuan or the city wall.
He hugged his small stomach with both hands. It was slightly painful, but it was still bearable. There was no other damage. He waved his right hand twice to drive away the dust that flew up.
Standing on the western gate wall, Lin Xuan looked at the Yin Spirit Realm and could not help but be shocked. When he was in the Yin Spirit Realm previously, he saw an enormous golden bell pressing down. Now, he saw where the bell was located, as the Yin Spirit’s fog receded, it forcefully created a vacuum zone.
Although the red-gold flames were burning fiercely, they didn’t feel hot at all!
‘Why do those flames look so familiar? Oh, I remember now. If they were a bit dimmer, they would be the flames of Mount Tai!’
Under the huge bell, a huge red-black dragon was swimming in the middle of the square. It stopped from time to time as if it was talking to someone. Lin Xuan’s face turned black. ‘I’m afraid that it’s selling its cubs again…’
Honestly, Lin Xuan had made a profit. That red-dark flame snake had just fainted; it was not dead. However, a living red-dark flame snake could be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
‘Oh, right, I have to sell it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the market would flood with red-dark flame snake. The price of the red-dark flame snake would come down.’
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan hurriedly found the information hunter, Song Ming, and asked him to deal with the red-dark flame snake. It was fine if the price was a bit lower; however, he had to sell it as soon as possible!
The man replied with an okay and then added something else. He asked if Lin Xuan was interested in writing a book on how to save a damsel in distress.
“What’s this all about? I’m the vice-captain of Di Yi. After this national league ends, I’ll be the proper Di Yi captain. How can I have time… wait but would it give me a lot of money?”
Song Ming didn’t return for a moment. He was probably calculating his earnings.
Lin Xuan leaned against the city wall and looked at the battlefield in the distance. He couldn’t help but sigh. “Cultivation is hard. Cultivation without money is even harder. No wonder I rarely see mystic-rank experts wandering around!”
Lin Xuan had been in Di Yi for more than half a year. He had basically never seen a mystic-rank expert in his second or third year of high school. It was impossible to say that there wasn’t one. Take Qin Fen and the others for example. Once they broke through to the mystic-rank, they would definitely be busy with cultivation. Mystic-rank cultivation wasn’t the same as yellow-rank cultivation, although the increase in the energy in one’s body could still be evaluated by clearing dungeons, it required certain resources in order to compress and qualitative change. Moreover, skills could no longer keep up with the requirements of the mystic-rank. Only spells and divine arts could do so.
However, the cultivation of spells and divine arts also required certain resources!
As for Lin Xuan, he never expected money to play such a big role in cultivation before. It wasn’t until he asked Qin Fen a few days ago about the matter of cultivating in the Thunder Pool Valley that he realized how important money was.
First of all, one needed to be at the mystic-rank. The yellow-rank probably wouldn’t be able to withstand the lightning. This was a hard and fast condition. Even if one had money, there was nothing they could do about it.
Second, one needed to purchase lightning-attracting armor. First, it was to attract lightning. Second, it was to distribute the lighting evenly, so that every part of the armor would be nourished by the lightning. Moreover, one had to purchase a special medicine, lightning accumulation ointment. The ointment would be evenly applied all over the body. It would be beneficial to the effects of the lightning body refinement.
Lastly, he had to buy a life-saving thunder-accumulation ointment that could increase great amount of heavenly thunder resistance for three minutes. This medicament could only be used for heavenly thunder; the other thunders were useless.
As for the price… The thunder-accumulation ointment was made of thunder-absorbing ores and rare metals. It was very expensive and would reach up to almost 10,000 dollars.
The special thunder-accumulation ointment was not scarce. It could be mass-produced at a lower price of 100 dollars. However, it was a consumable item that had to be applied once for body-building. Some people even had outstanding physical talent, one had to buy thunder-accumulation ointment type two at double the price.
If not consumed, one wouldn’t have to buy it. However, one had to buy a vial of it no matter what. Additionally, heavenly thunder only came by as a natural disaster, which had a super high priority, extremely precious medicine would be needed in such a situation. It was super expensive. Some could even range up to 30,000 dollars!
After hearing that, Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, ‘F*ck, is this the cultivation of a mystic-rank? It’s too f*cking expensive!’!
Although 100,000 dollars seemed to be a bit too much, it might be a good future investment. Additionally, spells and supernatural abilities were the main force to improve his battle strength. He might not succeed every time he cultivated. However, if he failed… the materials would be wasted.
100,000 dollars might not even be enough for him to cultivate a few spells!
The way of cultivation was really important!
After watching the battlefield for a while, the Crimson Underworld Dark Dragon was wandering around. Lin Xuan shook his head. It was useless to stay here any longer. He could go back and watch the live broadcast, ‘I should check how they’re doing… did they get eliminated earlier than me?’
On the way, Lin Xuan realized that something was wrong. Many people were pointing at him as if they recognized him.
‘Could it be that everyone already knew my identity as Di Yi’s vice-captain? Or could it be that even the green rotten grass juice could not stop my dazzling handsomeness?’
He calmed his heart and listened carefully. Only then did Lin Xuan hear clearly what they were saying!
“Wow, is that the Di Yi scheming boy? Doesn’t he look good too?”
“Don’t judge him by his talent. In fact, his personal life is very messy. As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover!”
“It’s this b*stard who cheated Huaizhou’s feelings. I want to fight him one-on-one!”
“Brother, calm down. According to the information, he’s Di Yi’s vice-captain. He’s powerful and has unparalleled talent. You can’t beat him!”
‘What the! When did my reputation become like this? My private life has been breached? I’m in a mess!’
Frowning, Lin Xuan thought calmly. After a brief analysis, Lin Xuan felt that things were not as simple as they seemed!
During the time when he entered the Yin Spirit Realm, what exactly happened and who spread such untrue rumors about him?
He quickly returned to the manor. Ruo Yanxing and the two sisters were there. Then, they looked at Lin Xuan with strange expressions. Ruo Yanxing wanted to say something, but in the end, he only walked to Lin Xuan’s side and patted his shoulder, “Cultivate hard. Her father is an earth-rank powerhouse. Also, don’t play with her feelings. There are rumors that Su Huaizhou is the in-name disciple of the immortal!”
‘What else did I do?’
“Lin Xuan, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!”
Lin Zhenxing pouted and said angrily.
“I also didn’t expect you to like a girl like this!”
Lin Zhenyue said indifferently. Then, the two of them went upstairs to their rooms. It seemed that even breathing the same air as Lin Xuan felt like a drag.
“What the h*ll did I do?”
At this time, he was still confused as to why he was being mistreated like that!
