C12 My Heart Is Going to Break!
"You want the Strength Pill, right? Now the special price is 500 taels! " Xu Xian stretched out five fingers.
The robust man was stunned, and then his face darkened. "What do you mean? Wasn't it just two hundred taels of silver?"
"Now and then, this is the same as famine. Usually, food is not worth much. When famine comes, it's hard to ask for money! Besides, think about your future. Spend five hundred taels to exchange for a chance to become an immortal. No matter how you look at it, it's worth it!" Xu Xian was speaking nonsense in a serious manner.
"You! Fine, I'll admit it!" The robust man no longer had the strength to argue with Xu Xian. He took out five gold banknotes. These were all his belongings. Now, he could only hope that this pill could help him reach the top!
It was not only him. Wang Yuan and Lee Ao were also under a lot of pressure. Wang Ruolan's delicate and pretty face was covered in sweat. There was a trace of pale color on her face. Clearly, she was very tired. She did not choose to eat the Strength Pill but persisted until here.
This time, there were also many young girls from the Immortal Trial, but there were only a few who had reached the third level and above.
Stepping onto another step, Wang Ruolan felt a huge force pressing down on her body. She staggered and Wang Yuan quickly supported her. "Don't force yourself. Eat a Strength Pill first."
Wang Ruolan nodded. She had indeed reached her limit. If she did not use the Strength Pill, she would not be able to continue forward.
Swallowing the Strength Pill, the surging heat filled her entire body. Her pale face turned red and her body was filled with energy. It was an unprecedented strength!
Wang Ruolan continued to walk forward. Lee Ao could not hold on any longer. But he thought that Wang Ruolan, a girl, was still able to hold on until now. If he also ate the Strength Pill now, In the future, he would be mocked and ridiculed by Wang Ruolan.
Clenching his teeth, Lee Ao forced himself to continue walking up. Wang Yuan nodded his head in relief and followed.
After selling for a long time, the price of five hundred taels per pill was indeed not something that many people could afford. In the end, he only sold one or two pills. Xu Xian walked forward slowly, lacking interest.
At this time, Wang Yuan and the others also followed. Lee Ao followed behind Xu Xian with a flattering smile. "Mr Xu, you are really amazing! In just four hours, you have earned one to two thousand taels of gold. This is even more than what my family has earned in a month!"
"Don't try to get close to me. If you want to buy it, don't even think about getting a single cent less!" Xu Xian cast a glance at him.
"Don't! We're all old acquaintances. Give me a 40 to 50% discount. I'll come and buy it from you next time..." Lee Ao kept talking. Xu Xian was too lazy to listen to him. He walked forward leisurely.
At this moment, a few young girls appeared in front of Xu Xian. All of them looked tired, and their pretty faces looked like persimmon that had been beaten by frost. At this moment, they were looking at Xu Xian with eyes full of expectation.
"Erm... Young Master, we really can't hold on any longer, but we don't have that much silver taels with us. Can you..." One of the young girls spoke hesitantly.
Currently, Xu Xian's Strength Pill cost 500 gold taels. This was the monthly income of many small families. It was really difficult for a junior to take out so much money.
These few young girls were also from rich families. It was not easy for them to persist until this point. At this moment, they were all drenched in sweat. They looked at Xu Xian with anticipation.
That look made Lee Ao feel sympathy in his heart. He pulled the corner of Xu Xian's clothes and said in a low voice, "Mr Xu, why don't you take a little less? 500 taels is indeed too high."
Xu Xian sighed. "I understand your feelings. I am not a stone-hearted person. I can't bear to see someone suffering in front of me."
Xu Xian said, his expression also carrying sympathy and understanding. This made the girls happy in their hearts.
Xu Xian's expression changed. He wiped his eyes with his hands as if he was about to cry with sympathy. He waved to Lee Ao. "Quickly chase them away. My heart is about to break!"
The girls were confused."
Lee Ao was confused. "???"
What kind of human nature was this? Lee Ao was completely convinced. This guy was really stingy. It was even harder to get something from him than to become an immortal.
The few girls who were looking forward to it were also stunned on the spot. The joyful expressions on their faces froze. They waited for Xu Xian to walk past them for a long time before reacting.
"What is it? This guy is really stingy!" Some of the girls stomped their feet in anger.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, don't be angry. This person is the one who recognizes money." Lee Ao looked at the disappointed faces of so many rich young ladies and immediately said with a smile.
A young girl glanced at him and lightly snorted. "People are like a group. You are so close to that guy, and you are not a good person either!"
"That's right, that's right. Boys are physically better than us. This Immortal Trial is too much of a bully!"
The young girls grumbled endlessly.
"Alright, the pill belongs to him. No matter what price he set, it's understandable. We just have to do our best to leave. " A gentle voice came from the young girl. It was a light blue dress. The beautiful girl, even though she was covered in sweat, She looked tired, but her noble aura was still natural.
These girls obviously listened to the girl's words. Although they were depressed, they also slowly walked up.
These girls ignored Lee Ao, and Lee Ao followed behind Xu Xian in a dejected manner.
"Mr Xu, those are the rich young ladies of many big families. You really don't show any mercy to women." Lee Ao would occasionally turn his head to look at the girls who were gritting their teeth and insisting on it, then he clicked his tongue and said.
Xu Xian did not mind. "If you know how to show mercy to the fairer sex, then give your Strength Pill to them. Moreover, they will use it for nothing. I am saving them a lot of gold."
As he spoke, Xu Xian casually turned his head to look at the noble young girl who was leading the group of young girls. This glance shocked Xu Xian. This girl's talent was the highest he had seen in many of the trials.
Even Liu Wangyang, who had been clamoring to be chosen by an immortal, was far inferior to her in terms of talent. Moreover, judging from her character, she seemed to be very determined. She was also a young lady from a rich family, but the girls around her could only be considered rich. However, she could be considered a noble.
The difference between rich and rich was like the difference between heaven and earth. This girl's identity was probably not simple. Xu Xian only took a glance at her before continuing to walk forward. This girl was probably the same as Liu Wangyang, and had long been chosen as a disciple of the Five Spirit Sect.
If that was really the case, then she still insisted on joining the Immortal Trial. This determination of hers was very unusual!
At the same time, the disciples of Spirit Peak who were on the top of the stone steps had a panoramic view of this scene.
"This girl is very unusual. Could it be that she is Yun Qingmiao from the Yun family that Elder Han has taken a fancy to?" Lee Yi praised.
"That's right. She is Yun Qingmiao." The second senior sister of Cherry Peak, Qing Rushui, opened her mouth and smiled. "Her talent has reached the sixth grade or even higher, and her compatibility with the water spiritual Qi is amazing. I'm afraid that even Master's talent is not as good as hers. What's more difficult is that... A year ago, she was told that she could enter the Five Spirit Sect directly, but she was determined. We must participate in the Immortal Trial together. This heart of cultivation..."
Qing Rushui looked at Liu Tiandong with a playful look and said, "Speaking of which, one of your cousins in your family seems to have some talent and was selected to join the sect, right? Why didn't he also try the trial? "
These words were very piercing. The Liu Wangyang who was tricked by Xu Xian to buy the Strength Pill was actually the cousin of the second senior brother of Medicine Peak, Liu Tiandong!
Liu Tiandong's face darkened. He could naturally hear the sarcasm in Qing Rushui's words. He snorted coldly. "This so-called trial is only for the sake of getting taller among the short ones. The most important thing in the path of cultivation is still talent. If talent is not enough, even if these people pass the trial, they will at most be outer sect disciples. It's no big deal! "
Liu Tiandong's words made sense. The path of cultivation was extremely difficult, and it was a gift from the heavens. No matter how hard one tried, there was always a limit to how hard one worked.
However, even though it made sense, everyone was still laughing in their hearts. Compete in talent? Your cousin does have some talent, but compared to Yun Qingmiao, his talent is trash!
"Hahaha, this year is quite interesting. That young man with the sword is also not bad. From beginning to end, he maintained a steady speed and did not use the Strength Pill of the guy with the bamboo basket backpack. He even held the sword in his hand. Sigh! Ning Ling, this is the food of Sword Peak! "
The second senior sister of the Sword Peak, Ning Ling, was holding a thin white sword. She was tall and had a delicate and pretty face that carried a fierce aura. She didn't seem to like to talk. She just glanced at Wang Yuan and nodded without saying anything.
Seeing that Ning Ling didn't speak, the few of them were already used to it. Everyone in the Sword Peak was like this. They were all a group of sword addicts who only wanted to pursue the ultimate path of the sword. If these people took the initiative to talk to you, it would be the same. They wanted to fight with you!
The Array Peak's second senior brother, Tianting, smiled and said, "I've always felt that the most interesting one is still that young man who carried a bamboo basket backpack and bought the Strength Pill. Although I don't know how he refined his Strength Pill, but... I don't know the exact function of the pill, but I can tell that there is a time limit to how long it will take for the others to consume it. The time for this young man to consume the Strength Pill had long passed, but he was still walking on the Gravity Stone Step with ease. I'm afraid this is his own strength. "
