Wouldn't Young Master Lu Suffer a Massive Loss??
As the person who had the most contact with Wang Da, Su Jinxuan's mind went blank for a moment.
This seemingly ordinary, even somewhat aloof, servant is actually a monstrous genius capable of fighting against a powerful expert in the Early Spirit Transformation?!
She was only at the Early Nascent Soul and couldn't perceive Wang Da's true terrifying power.
But Lin Xuanchen is at the Peak Nascent Soul!
His judgment is unlikely to be wrong.
Wang Da calmly glanced at the four people, whose foreheads were sweating slightly, and said, "Please come in, the young master is waiting for you."
The four of them jolted awake and snapped back to their senses.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of horror in each other's eyes.
Even Han Qianshan, who is usually the most unrestrained, unconsciously hunched his shoulders when facing Wang Da.
Su Jinxuan, being closest to Wang Da, was the first to recover, cupping her hands in thanks and saying with a smile, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang."
Wang Da shook his head, his expression still blank. "It's my duty; no need for thanks."
He turned and walked into the cave abode, with Lin Xuanchen and the other three silently following behind.
The lamps on both sides of the corridor emitted a soft, warm yellow light, and the air was filled with a dense, almost impenetrable spiritual mist. With each breath, one could feel the spiritual energy in their meridians being nourished.
After passing through the corridor and entering the hall, the four saw Lu Yang sitting under the light of the lamp, flipping through a manual called the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon Manual.
The light illuminated his handsome profile, making it appear as smooth and refined as jade. He sat there, quiet and composed, as if he were one with the entire cave abode.
Seeing the four people enter, Lu Yang slightly raised his head, revealing a gentle smile, "Please sit down."
Lin Xuanchen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "Thank you, Young Master Lu."
Seeing this, the other three also cupped their hands in a respectful gesture.
Lu Yang glanced at Lin Xuanchen with some surprise.
This old man has a very strong aura, probably stronger than Su Jinxuan, so why is he so respectful?
Lu Yang didn't ask any further questions.
Su Jinxuan first introduced Han Qianshan and Lin Xuanchen.
Upon learning that Lin Xuanchen was actually at the Peak Nascent Soul, he glanced thoughtfully at Wang Da.
Perhaps it was because they sensed Wang Da's true strength that they were so particularly respectful?
Lu Yang greeted Han Qianshan and Lin Xuanchen, then smiled and said, "You're here about the Spiritual Qi concentration, right? Have you already discussed it?"
Lin Xuanchen, as the oldest and strongest elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, spoke on behalf of the four.
He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Young Master Lu, I have a question. May I ask for Young Master Lu answer?"
Lu Yang asked with some curiosity, "What question?"
Lin Xuanchen considered his words carefully before asking, "If the Spiritual Qi is altered this time, we hope to expand the forbidden area again in the future. Is that possible?"
Lu Yang seemed thoughtful, then chuckled, "Elder Lin, do you believe that a new Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elder might emerge in the future? If a new Supreme Elder appears, then a new peak must be prepared?"
Lin Xuanchen immediately cupped his hands and said softly, "Young Master Lu, you are wise. I do indeed have this concern..."
Lu Yang smiled and said, "No problem, we can expand it."
Upon hearing Lu Yang's confirmation, Lin Xuanchen's eyes immediately lit up, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He then said, "Since that's the case, I have no further questions. Our Golden Rainbow Sword Sect has a total of six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Besides the four of us, the other two are still traveling outside the sect. Therefore, we plan to use the mountain where Young Master Lu is located as the center, covering six other mountains, as the sect's forbidden area."
Lu Yang nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing how easily Lu Yang agreed, Lin Xuanchen felt a little relieved.
He then asked, "So, how many Spirit Stones does Young Master Lu need?"
Lu Yang thought for a moment. Each mountain peak cost him 200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day, so six peaks would cost him 1200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Of course, the mountain areas between the peaks also need to be covered; it's impossible to cover them piecemeal.
It would probably cost two to three thousand a day if you added it all up.
Lu Yang thought for a moment and then said, "Wait here for a while, I'll go check and let you know."
Lin Xuanchen quickly replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you Young Master Lu."
Lu Yang got up and went back to his bedroom.
He opened the control panel of the Spiritual Qi Concentration Regulator, and circled six other peaks, using his own peak as the center.
These six mountain peaks, plus the surrounding mountain area, yield 2000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day.
Aside from Lu Yang's own 200, that's 1800 Low-Grade Spirit Stones a day, which adds up to just over 650,000 a year.
For a top-tier sect like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, this consumption is honestly quite small.
After all, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is such a large organization, it has many ways to earn Spirit Stones.
Spirit mines, markets, elixirs, talismans, etc...
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to support so many disciples.
Let's also factor in our own energy expenditure.
Consider it a small profit.
To be honest, he felt that if he offered 10,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect would probably agree without hesitation.
However, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect treated him very well. They gave him Earth Grade Supreme Quality sect Cultivation Method without hesitation and even arranged for Nascent Soul True Lord like Su Jinxuan to provide one-on-one guidance.
Not to mention the many favorability rewards Su Jinxuan has given him during this period.
Even if it were just for Su Jinxuan's sake, Lu Yang didn't intend to make this money.
If you really want to make money, what's faster than Rebate Card?
Moreover, now that there's Search Module, he can make a fortune even selling information.
However, selling intelligence requires using his system functions, which means Lu Yang has to keep an eye on things all the time, which is a waste of his cultivation time.
Unless he's really short of money, he'd rather not bother with this.
Lu Yang left the bedroom and returned to the living room.
Inside the hall, Lin Xuanchen and the other three sat quietly.
The four of them remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they were all somewhat nervous.
After all, a method that can alter the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which can be described as a miracle, would probably cost an astronomical amount of Spirit Stones.
They weren't sure if they could afford it.
If that really doesn't work, then we can reduce the number of mountain peaks; everyone can still cultivate if they squeeze in.
It's still better than the current environment.
Upon seeing Lu Yang emerge, the four immediately looked up at Lu Yang.
Lin Xuanchen clenched his fists involuntarily, and nervously stood up to ask, "Young Master Lu... how is he?"
Seeing the four people's nervous expressions, Lu Yang chuckled and said, "2000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones a day."
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Upon hearing this, all four of them stared wide-eyed and stood frozen in place.
They looked somewhat taken aback, and for a moment no one spoke.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.
Is the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect really that poor?
Will everyone think this price is too high?
Lu Yang asked, "Do you think the price is high?"
Upon hearing this, the four of them snapped back to their senses.
An excited blush rose on Lin Xuanchen's wrinkled, aged face, and his withered hands trembled slightly.
He shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No... no, no, Young Master Lu, you misunderstand! We just think the price is too low! Much lower than we expected!"
They had already discussed it beforehand; as long as the Spirit Stone of a single mountain peak didn't exceed ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day, they could afford it.
As a result, Lu Yang quoted a price of 2000 per day for the entire area!
So, a mountain peak only costs a little over three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which is 30 times lower than they imagined!
The price was so low it felt unreal!
This... won't Young Master Lu suffer a huge loss?!
Su Jinxuan pursed her red lips, her fingers gently fidgeting with the cuffs of her long, gold-red robe, and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lu... is this price for the entire area? Isn't it too low? Did you cover part of the cost for us?"
These words caused the other three to suppress their excitement as well.
After all, as Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, they are quite capable of making money.
To be honest, 2000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones a day seemed incredibly cheap to them.
Such a small expense can actually alter the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?
And it's ten times!
It's not equitable no matter how you look at it.
They also suspected that Lu Yang might have only symbolically accepted a few Spirit Stones.
Hearing Su Jinxuan's question, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, chuckled, and said casually, "To change the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Spirit Stones alone are naturally not enough. However, out of respect for Elder Su, I will prepare the rest myself and will not charge you any fees. You only need to give me some Spirit Stones."
What Lu Yang said wasn't a lie. Without Spiritual Qi Concentration Regulator, how could such a small amount of Spirit Stones possibly change the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?
The Spiritual Qi Concentration Regulator itself is priceless, and it was indeed something he prepared.
If it weren't for Su Jinxuan's sake, Lu Yang would probably be collecting five or six thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones every day, right?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanchen and the other two were stunned for a moment, and all turned to look at Su Jinxuan.
Su Jinxuan's expression froze for a moment, a hint of astonishment appearing on her cold and beautiful face.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank.
... Is it because of me again?
