Novel Full Chapter 529 - 529 Too Shady
529 Too Shady
“I’m also thinking about the safety of the people at the protected grounds. What if someone looks at his face, gasps in laughter, and is caught off guard and injured by a demonic beast? We should let him stay in the camp to cultivate.”
Upon hearing that, Qian Jiyun sighed and looked at Gong Cheng’s hilarious face.
“This face is indeed eye-catching.”
After making this remark seriously, he recalled Gong Cheng’s half-baked martial arts.
“Then stay in the camp. Don’t go out for the time being. Cultivate well for half a month. I want to see the results of your cultivation in half a month!”
Gong Cheng felt as if a mouthful of blood had choked him.
How can he say that about me? Is it my fault that the Color-Painting Bird spat all over me? It’s clearly the bird’s fault!
But now, instead of sympathizing with me, he actually laughed at me!
Also, what can I achieve by cultivating for half a month? What results can I achieve? Isn’t his haste going to backfire?
“Jiuyue, let’s go. I’ll accompany you to the Building of Years.”
After speaking to Gong Cheng, Qian Jiyun left with An Jiuyue.
“Second Brother…”
Gong Cheng watched them leave and wanted to tell them to bring him along.
However, when he thought about the Building of Years, he realized he should stop trying to follow them. Ordinary people could not afford the expense there.
His second brother would definitely not pay for him. He would have to fork out his own money. It was better not to go—he could not afford it.
…
Outside the Building of Years…
An Jiuyue’s eyes widened when she heard what the old man said.
“10 inner cores for two hours?” She repeated his sentence, feeling that this place was too shady.
Even though she had just arrived at Huayan Peak, she knew what an inner core was. It was the inner core of a demonic beast.
She had heard Yan Nuo and the others mention that people like them were lucky to kill a demonic beast per day and obtain an inner core.
Aside from money, all the food, clothing, and necessities needed here had to be purchased with inner cores.
Of course, inner cores were in the highest demand. Money was only a supplement. Many food vendors did not like money and only wanted inner cores.
One could exchange an inner core for two days’ worth of food.
However, 10 inner cores were required to stay in the Building of Years for two hours? Wasn’t that too expensive?
“No wonder it’s so quiet. There’s no one around. Isn’t this too expensive?”
She craned her neck and peered into the building. It was empty. It was clear that business was quiet.
“People will come occasionally,” Qian Jiyun said with a smile.
“Oh,” An Jiuyue replied softly.
She had the urge to turn around and leave.
She had plenty of time to familiarize herself with Huayan Peak’s rules. She did not have to go in to read books, right?
“This is what they call a business that doesn’t have to open for three years because they can sustain themselves for three years once they have business, isn’t it?” she muttered unhappily.
She asked Wei Na in her mind, “Wei Na, do you think there’s anything I need here?”
If there’s nothing I need, I promise I’ll turn around and leave immediately!
“Master, there are many books on medicine refinement here. You can take a look at them, but you don’t really need anything else,” Wei Na answered honestly.
