Chapter 13: The Tool Man Was a Trick

Ran Xuan stared at Ye Chen in disbelief.

It was as if she had never thought that he would refuse.

“This is refining pills for the sect!”

“The sect is poor! Can we not do it first?”

“How can we do that? Then how can I repay the contribution I owe you?”

“You owe me first. I am not in a hurry to ask for it, so why are you in such a hurry?”

“Didn’t you say that I can come to you if I need anything?”

“I said that I might not listen to you!”

“What is the point of keeping those spirit stones? Are you going to let them rust?”

“Didn’t you say that there would be a martial competition? Do you think I am joking with you?”

“…”

The two stared at each other, arguing for a while, neither giving way to the other.

In the end…

Pah!

Ran Xuan patted the chair and stood up, gnashing her teeth as she said, “I only want five hundred mid rank spirit stones and thirty upper rank spirit stones. Isn’t that too much?”

“Sigh.”

Ye Chen sighed and said earnestly, “Elder ran, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. It’s just that the sect’s productivity is not enough and resources are limited.”

“There are only the four of us in the Great Mystery Sect. How can we not be able to make ends meet?”

“Look over there.”

Ye Chen pointed in a certain direction and said, “You have also seen our great mystery sect’s protective array. The amount of spirit power that will be consumed when this thing is activated is not a joke.”

“Although it hasn’t been fully activated, and it’s only being used up, it’s still not a small amount.”

“I’ve invested more than half of the spirit stones you’ve dug out in this period of time into this thing.”

“The rest might not even be enough for the sect’s general election!”

It made sense, but she didn’t listen.

“I just want a little bit of resources. As an elder, I have the right, right? Also, what does ‘being used up’mean?”

“I’m just waiting for someone to come knocking on my door before showing off. Right now, I’m just keeping it running normally, understand?”

“I’m Not Stupid, why are you shouting so loudly!”

“As an elder, you don’t even know about this. What’s wrong with me shouting at you?”

“Don’t change the topic! Just say it!”

“I really can’t give it to you. If I don’t have enough spirit stones, if something goes wrong with the formation, the enemy will come knocking on my door, and it won’t be something that can be solved with these few spirit stones.”

Hearing that, ran Xuan’s face softened a bit.

However, she was still a bit unwilling.

“How about this? The sect will give me some other resources, and I will sell them in the market. I can at least sell some spirit stones, right?”

“I can’t give them to you, so why don’t you go to the Scripture Depository and exchange some of your contribution points?”

“Use my contribution points to refine pills for the sect disciples? That’s too much!”

Ye Chen immediately promised, “Elder ran, don’t worry. When the sect is rich, I’ll definitely make it up to you!”

Ran Xuan stared at Ye Chen with a suspicious gaze for a long time, “You said that?”

“I said it. My words are as good as gold.”

“Alright.”

Ran Xuan didn’t want to continue pestering him, “Then how can I leave the mountain after I change my cultivation method?”

The mountain protecting array was normally not allowed to enter or leave. Without the permission of the array protector, it was impossible to sneak out of the sect.

However, the great mystery sect did not have any array guardians yet, and only ye Chen was in control of the array.

Therefore, Ye Chen gave her a token.

“With this token, you can enter and leave the great mystery sect freely.”

With Ye Chen’s permission and the token to leave the sect, ran Xuan left without looking back.

She did not notice the smile on Ye Chen’s face.

He brought out the sect’s interface and chose the pavilion.

He added a sentence in the relevant section of the exchange rules.

“In case there are more high-ranking contributors in the sect, exchange for a large number of martial arts or valuable martial arts for other purposes. I hereby set up this pavilion. For those with higher titles, the amount of contribution required to exchange for martial arts will be greatly increased.”

After doing all this, Ye Chen saw that ran Xuan had already arrived at the pavilion’s entrance.

“I am doing this for the sect. Elder ran, please don’t blame me.”

Ye Chen chuckled and went back into the leader’s training room. At the same time, he put up a ‘do not disturb closed-door training’sign on the door.

The tool man was just a trick.

…

This ran Xuan who had started to exchange for the martial arts had already turned green.

On purpose!

Definitely on purpose!

Ran Xuan did not believe that ye Chen had not done something.

He saw the list of martial arts in the library.

Crossing Fate Tyrant Claw: Mid Rank Yellow Rank martial art, exchange price 0. Due to your status as an elder, according to the rules, it has been increased to 5000.

Purple Flame Ghost Kick: Top Rank Yellow rank martial art, exchange price 0. Due to your status as an elder, according to the rules, it has been increased to 20000.

Purple feather holy chant: black grade middle-grade cultivation technique, exchange price 2,000. Due to your status as an elder, it has been raised to 200,000 according to the sect rules.

Raging Flame Dragon concealment: black grade high-grade cultivation technique, exchange price 5,000. Due to your status as an elder, it has been raised to 500,000 according to the sect rules.

…

Was this the work of a human?

Was this something that a carbon-based creature could do?

Ran Xuan clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out of her.

Five hundred thousand!

A mere high-grade black grade cultivation technique actually cost five hundred thousand!

Although to the east continent, it was considered a first-class cultivation technique and could be sold for quite a number of spirit stones.

But to the even more precious spirit herbs that she needed to refine pills, it was nothing.

In this day and age, medicine was more expensive than cultivation techniques.

The growth of a good medicine had extremely harsh requirements on the environment.

In the barren east continent, it was very difficult to find precious medicinal herbs.

Once a good medicine appeared, it would definitely be auctioned off for a sky high price.

Although the body refining pill that ran Xuan wanted to refine didn’t need too precious medicinal herbs, the price wouldn’t be too low either.

In this way, her eight hundred thousand contribution might not even be enough!

However, she had no way to say anything, let alone argue with Ye Chen.

If she were to really say it, ran Xuan would be able to guess how ye Chen would respond.

For example, ‘you can get eight hundred thousand contribution in ten days and easily exchange it for a few black grade cultivation methods, but can you write a black grade cultivation method in ten days?’this kind of reason could shut her mouth with a single sentence.

How infuriating!

“Ye Chen, just you wait!”

The more ran Xuan thought about it, the more sullen she felt. She was so angry that she kept stomping her feet.

In the end, she still exchanged for a top rank black rank cultivation method and a mid rank black rank cultivation method.

Yellow rank cultivation methods were really not worth much. There was no need to get those things on the street.

After dealing with the matter here, she told Gong Lingyun and Xiao Huohuo and left the great mystery sect by herself.

…

At the same time, in the Purple Rainbow Immortal Palace.

A woman who was elegantly dressed and sitting in the position of the palace master suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were like sharp swords that could see through the space.

Her originally calm and composed expression suddenly became flustered.

“How is this possible!”

“She’s actually alive?”

“Could it be an illusion?”

“That’s impossible. I planted a mark in her soul. I can feel it no matter if she’s dead or alive.”

“How is that possible? She’s already been dead for so long and her soul still hasn’t dissipated?”

“Could it be that someone saved her?”

The woman frowned and her gaze gradually turned sharp.

“No matter who it is, I’m going to kill her!”
