The two demons communicated via voice transmission.
“Ziyu, it’s your turn ro shine!”
“Understood!”
Xu Ziyu looked at Lu Yuan, who remained silent, and took the initiative to step forward.
“Brother Lu, we were wrong. My brother and I swear we were just curious about you. We don’t have any ill intentions.”
Xu Ziyu’s eyes were filled with tears. Her watery eyes and petite body made her appear like an innocent girl.
She was proficient in playing dumb and meek.
At the very least, Xu Ziyu successfully used this trick on many elders in her clan to do as she pleased.
She played this victim card whenever she and Xu Zile got into trouble.
For example, they were once sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, but in the end, they got away with writing reflections after she acted cute.
Although Lu Yuan was not an elder in her clan, Xu Ziyu felt her trick would work on him too.
Xu Zile was confident that Lu Yuan would not continue to make things difficult for them after his sister had used her trump card on him.
“No one can resist Ziyu’s puppy eyes!” Xu Zile thought with certainty.
Unfortunately, they were dealing with a forthright man who failed to understand women or pick up social clues.
Lu Yuan was not moved at all by Xu Ziyu’s seemingly sincere apology.
He looked at her expressionlessly and said nothing in response.
Xu Ziyu would have preferred for him to reprimand them than nor say a word.
She had put on her puppy eyes. There was no way that Lu Yuan did not pity her!
After unintentionally giving Xu Ziyu the silent treatment, Lu Yuan finally spoke up.
“Little Fox, if apologizing is of any use, why do we need the way of the heavens?”
Gasp!
Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile gasped at the same time when they heard this.
Lu Yuan glanced at Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile, who were dumbstruck. He then walked to the center of the room and sat on a chair.
A few Paper Men ran toward him before he even gestured or gave any orders.
These Paper Men had a clear division of labor. One held a teapot with both hands. Two held a tea tray, while another was responsible for wiping the table. They behaved like well-trained servants.
When Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile saw these interesting Paper Men, they focused all their attention on the latter and even forgot about seeking Lu Yuan’s forgiveness.
After the group of Paper Men finished brewing tea, Lu Yuan took a sip and slowly said, “I have roughly listed the losses you have caused me because you intruded into the Black Jade Mountain.”
He listed, “First of all, during the battle, you have directly or indirectly destroyed some parts of the mountain. The law of the mountain was affected too. The repair cost for all these will be 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones.” “Secondly, for an old man like the patriarch, time is worth spiritual stones. Your intrusion has forced him to emerge from seclusion. His loss is difficult to measure in spiritual stones, but I estimated it costs around 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones.”
“Finally, you need to compensate me for the mental damage you’ve done to me. 1 was minding my business on the mountain, but the two of you suddenly rudely tested me, causing me to nearly go berserk during my cultivation. My Dao heart might have suffered injuries that I haven’t noticed. So, you need to reimburse me 10,000 spiritual stones.”
Lu Yuan concluded, “Therefore, you must pay me 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones in total this time.”
Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile exchanged glances when they heard Lu Yuan asking for 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
When Lu Yuan saw this, he mumbled to himself internally. Had he asked for too much? Were the two of them in a dilemma because they couldn’t afford it? However, the reality was the exact opposite of what Lu Yuan thought.
Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile communicated with each other using the divine soul voice transmission unique to the cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Xu Ziyu said, “Brother, he only asked for 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones. That’s equivalent to 300 supreme-grade spiritual stones or three chaos spiritual stones. Itrs a steal!”
Xu Zile responded, “It’s indeed a good deal. Ziyu, you receive one chaos spiritual stone per year. He’s only asking for three now, so you should pay him.”
“Why do I have ro pay? Do you think I’m unaware that you have ten chaos spiritual stones in your interspatial ring right now? You wanted to pry on him, so you should pay him.”
“Nope. You made it sound like 1 was the only one interested in checking Lu Yuan out when you were curious about him too. I’ll take a loss. I ll offer two pieces, and you’ll offer one.”
“Alright, deal.”
After the two agreed, Xu Ziyu turned to Lu Yuan and said, “Alright. We will pay you rhe amount you asked for.”
Although Xu Ziyu tried her best to pretend she suffered a huge loss, this three-hundred-year-old fox demoness did not have much acting skills. Could she stop wagging her tail if she was truly sad?
At this point, Lu Yuan realized that the compensation he asked for was too low.
He had underestimated the cultivators of the Upper Realm, or rather, the wealth of the Upper Realm s heavenly prides.
He initially thought 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones were a lot, but now it seemed that this amount was nothing to them.
He cursed internally, “Damn it! If 1 meet another fat sheep like this in the future, I will surely ask for a hefty amount.”
Although he had the intention to raise the price, Lu Yuan was still a person who cared about his reputation.
Since he had already asked for 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones, he found no reason to go back on his word now.
Therefore, he nodded and accepted the compensation.
“These are three fire attribute chaos spiritual stones, which are equivalent to 300 supreme-grade spiritual stones or 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones.”
Lu Yuan was greatly shocked when he looked at the chaos spiritual stones that were suffused with Daoist Rhythm.
So there were such things called chaos spiritual stones in the cultivation world!
Although he had never seen a chaos spiritual stone before, he could sense rhe Daoist Rhythm stored in it. He also knew that this thing would be of great help to his cultivation.
With these three chaos spiritual stones, Lu Yuan felt that his cultivation speed of the Four Emblems Sword Array, Vermillion Bird Sword, would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
At this thought, Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile fervently.
They were clearly two tycoons!
Lu Yuan did not lack spiritual stones, but he could not exchange them for what he wanted.
This feeling of having money but nowhere to spend it had troubled him for a long time.
However, the two fox demons before him would have many things he wanted.
No, he couldn’t let them leave just like that.
Xu Ziyu said, “Here, we’ve given you the requested compensation. My brother and I will leave now.”
“Hold on.”
Just as Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile walked up to the exit, Lu Yuan called out to them.
They turned their heads and looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Xu Zile warned, “Lu Yuan, don’t go too far! We’ve already paid for your losses. You have to let us go.”
Xu Ziyu chimed in, “Although my brother and 1 can’t beat your patriarch, we can surely beat you.”
“Even a fox will bite when pushed into a corner. Although we don’t dare to kill you, we will beat you up. In any case, your patriarch doesn’t really dare to do anything to us. Otherwise, the entire Qingyun Sect will pay for it!”
To appear more intimidating, Xu Ziyu even revealed her two dainty fangs. She looked like a kid who was trying to act fierce.
Lu Yuan explained, “The two of you have misunderstood. I asked the two of you to stay because I want to do business with you.”
“Business?”
Hearing this, Xu Ziyu immediately looked at Xu Zile. They began communicating with voice transmission.
“Brother, what do you think he’s up to?”
“I don’t know, but doing business with him sounds fun.”
“I think so too. One year in the Upper Realm is equivalent to two years here. There are still 60 years until the thousand-year battle. 1 have a feeling that this Qingyun Sect is quite interesting. Why don’t we hear him out?”
“I agree. Let’s hear what he has to say.”
After the brief exchange, Xu Ziyu looked at Lu Yuan and asked, “What kind of business do you want ro do with us?”
Lu Yuan looked at the two of them and smiled as he opened his storage bag.
The next second, a unique magic instrument that looked like a coffin appeared before them.
Lu Yuan promoted, “Allow me to introduce this to the two of you. This is the latest spiritual energy product developed by our Qingyun Research and Development Department. It is a Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod.” “Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod? What is this?”
Faced with Xu Ziyu’s inquiry, Lu Yuan said with a smirk, “It is a special cultivation tool that allows you to gain the benefits of going on an expedition without actually experiencing a life-or-death crisis.”
A unique tool that allowed them to gain the benefits of going on an expedition without actually experiencing a life-or-death crisis?
Upon hearing this, Xu Ziyu’s and Xu Zile’s interest was piqued..
