After some time, Chen Changming arrived at Clear Mist Cliff.
"What brings you here?"
Two disciples of the Clear Mist Sect guarding Clear Mist Cliff stood at the mountain gate, staring intently at Chen Changming.
"I've come to collect rootless water."
Chen Changming cupped his hands and spoke politely.
The two Clear Mist Sect disciples guarding Clear Mist Cliff had cultivation levels similar to his, both around the fifth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
From this, it seemed the Clear Mist Sect probably had quite a few Void Refinement Realm cultivators as well.
The two Clear Mist Sect disciples exchanged smiles, a hint of amusement in their eyes.
A burly disciple raised a hand and said bluntly, "Five hundred spirit jades."
Five hundred spirit jades?
Chen Changming froze. Didn't the jade slip say fifty spirit jades a day?
"Fellow Daoist, when did the price go up?"
Chen Changming couldn't help asking.
The burly disciple shook his head and smiled casually. "It hasn't. Five hundred spirit jades lets you collect as much as you like for ten days..."
Ten days?
Chen Changming smiled wryly. One day of collecting would be enough. Ten days was far too long. By the eighth day, the rootless water collected on the first day would lose its properties and turn into ordinary spirit water.
"If you think it's too expensive, you can leave."
Seeing Chen Changming remain silent, the other disciple, who had a round face, spoke impatiently.
"It's not expensive."
Chen Changming gave an awkward smile, took out five hundred spirit jades, and handed them to the two disciples.
Fortunately, he was wealthy now and thought nothing of a mere five hundred spirit jades.
"Go on..."
After receiving the spirit jades, the burly disciple grew much friendlier. He pointed deeper into Clear Mist Cliff
