Chapter 2622 More money is needed
Chapter 2622 More money is needed
Jing Mo is good in every way. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has high talent in cultivation. More importantly, she has already reached the forefront of her generation. However, her stubborn personality is giving Liang Xia a bit of a headache.
But then again, Qin Fei has been complaining all this time, so doesn't he get any benefit at all?
"You're not being honest, kid. You're about to break through to the Divine Radiance Realm, and you're still complaining to me. You're the one who benefited the most from this battle, aren't you?"
"You're the one who got the benefit and still act innocent, isn't that you?" Liang Xia suddenly glanced at Qin Fei and asked.
"Not necessarily?"
Qin Fei reasonably raised his doubts: "In order to make your Divine Martial Sect's Holy Maiden feel at ease, I even took the initiative to admit defeat. Do you know how much psychological pressure I was under?"
"Shouldn't your sect give me some reasonable compensation?"
Qin Fei is not so easily fooled. While Jing Mo did contribute to his breakthrough, even without Jing Mo's help, his breakthrough would have been delayed by only a little.
"Shameless!"
Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, even Liang Xia couldn't help but secretly give Qin Fei a thumbs up.
He was clearly the big winner, but he acted like a wronged wife who had suffered some great injustice. How could he say such things without batting an eye? How could someone be so shameless?
"So what do you want from me?" Liang Xia asked after thinking for a moment.
Ultimately, this whole thing was Liang Xia's fault. If he hadn't talked nonsense in front of Jing Mo, how could Qin Fei have admitted defeat to Jing Mo in public?
Everyone cares about their reputation. Today, Qin Fei has admitted defeat to Jing Mo, and this news will likely spread throughout the city soon, which will definitely have a negative impact on Qin Fei's personal reputation.
Under these circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable for Qin Fei to request some compensation.
"Just give me any 100,000 spirit herbs and that will suffice," Qin Fei said, waving his hand.
"One hundred thousand plants?"
Hearing this, even Liang Xia couldn't help but twitch. He knew that if he could say such a thing, it meant that he was already prepared to be slashed by Qin Fei.
But to his utter surprise, Qin Fei's strike was so ruthless—100,000 spiritual herbs?
What's the difference between Qin Fei's actions and outright robbery?
"Um, is there any room for negotiation on this matter?" Liang Xia asked after coughing twice.
"What are you discussing?"
"You, the dignified leader of a sect, don't even have this little bit of spiritual medicine, do you?" Qin Fei asked in surprise.
“Of course I have spiritual herbs, but I have to take care of everyone’s development, so there are some things I can’t just do as I please. 100,000 spiritual herbs are too many. How about I give you 10,000 spiritual herbs?” Liang Xia said with some difficulty.
"I think it's a good idea!" Qin Fei nodded.
He was just casually trying to trick Liang Xia, but he didn't expect him to take the bait so easily. Even if Liang Xia only gave him ten thousand spiritual herbs, Qin Fei would not mind.
Qin Fei came from a life of hardship, so even a single medicinal herb was incredibly precious to him.
Even if members of the Wu'an Bureau made great contributions in the past, they might not receive a single medicinal herb as a reward.
Although there are now more medicinal herbs here, they are still good things for Qin Fei.
It's like worldly wealth; no matter how much money you have, you won't despise it.
"Why do I have this feeling that you've deceived me?"
Seeing how readily Qin Fei agreed, Liang Xia suddenly felt a little tempted to back out.
Before he could speak, Qin Fei preemptively shut him up: "Sect Master Liang, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word with such a small amount of spiritual medicine, would you?"
"Regret it?"
"That's definitely not the case."
Liang Xia was, after all, a prominent figure. Since he had already agreed to compensate Qin Fei with ten thousand spiritual herbs, he wouldn't go back on his word. He tossed Qin Fei a spatial ring and said, "The number of spiritual herbs in here should be more than ten thousand. Consider the rest a gift from me, but..."
"But what?"
"Are you going to back out again?" Qin Fei looked up at Liang Xia and asked.
"But you have to tell me why you let Jing Mo off the hook. What was your motivation?" Liang Xia asked, staring at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei wouldn't show courtesy without a reason, so there must be a reason behind it.
Liang Xia is now very curious about the reason.
"Sure, but you'll have to pay extra!" Qin Fei said without hesitation.
Liang Xia: "..."
He now truly believes that Qin Fei is obsessed with money, wanting money for everything. Can he possibly use up all those spiritual herbs by himself?
"Adding the elixir is definitely out of the question. If you don't want to talk about it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Liang Xia only wanted to satisfy his curiosity, which is why he asked the question, but since Qin Fei was unwilling to answer, he could only let it go.
"Xiao Liang, come here for a moment."
Just then, the voice of the god of wine suddenly reached Liang Xia.
"Your master is calling me, so I'll go ahead."
Liang Xia held Dionysus in high esteem, so when he heard Dionysus calling him, he didn't hesitate at all and went straight to Dionysus.
Seeing that the walking spirit medicine was already busy with other things, Qin Fei didn't dare to hesitate and immediately went to a Shenwu Sect elder.
"Prepare a quiet cultivation room for me; I need to break through my cultivation level," Qin Fei stated his request directly.
Upon hearing this, the elder dared not delay and immediately said to his subordinates, "Take Young Master Qin to my cultivation chamber."
It was a foregone conclusion that Qin Fei was about to break through his cultivation level, so the elder was naturally happy to do Qin Fei this favor.
Little did he know that Qin Fei didn't even know his name, so how could he possibly remember this favor?
Under the immense pressure created by Jing Mo, Qin Fei's cultivation level is finally about to advance from the late stage of the Earth Profound Realm to the early stage of the Divine Radiance Realm.
Just as Qin Fei was peacefully comprehending his realm and breaking through, Jing Mo returned to her residence. Her face was still cold, and she even deliberately turned around to glare fiercely at Shang Wu.
This left Shangwu somewhat bewildered, realizing he hadn't done anything to offend the Holy Maiden.
"Elder, please tell that bastard that I will not accept his surrender this time. I will definitely defeat him with my own strength in the future!" Jing Mo said to Shang Wu in a cold tone.
Qin Fei was indeed knocked to the ground by her, and even vomited blood.
But in reality, Jing Mo knew in his heart that Qin Fei was deliberately putting on an act for him. If he were truly no match for him, then he should have been unable to withstand his power from the very beginning.
Did he think that doing this would allow him to let go of his resentment towards him?
That is absolutely impossible!
"Okay, okay, I'll pass it on to you in a bit, is that alright?"
Shangwu was also having a terrible time dealing with Jingmo, so he couldn't wait to leave.
"You go!"
Upon hearing that the Grand Elder was willing to relay his message, Jing Mo ruthlessly issued an order to leave.
"Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Shangwu turned around and left.
Only after he had walked a distance did he mutter to himself, "If we can't even defeat him now, it will be even more impossible once Qin Fei breaks through to the Divine Radiance Realm!"
