I have completely become a ghost in this world, death, sometimes just seems like that, at most it's just paying that slight price — dispersal!
So this is how it feels to have one's soul scattered, huh? I sneered in my heart, experiencing eternal darkness is just like this after all.
Unconscious and not knowing how long I’ve slept, I only understand that a child is calling from a distance, calling for my awakening, but my body refuses to move obediently.
"Your fate is truly tragic, shouldn't you have more than just this?"
Finally, the unknown girl was willing to show herself in front of me, her white robe shining with golden light swaying, but unfortunately I couldn’t see her face, but roughly speaking... she was a beautiful girl!
"Oh? Are you the Divine Lord? It's an honor for me to be criticized by such a great adult, right?"
"Hehe, still so stubborn, have you admitted that you are already dead?"
"Never mind, if I admit it, will you let me go back? Really…"
"Let you go back? Why should you go back when you came here on your own!" the girl scoffed, saying I came willingly... Was it really?
"Your lifespan has not been exhausted, but choosing death is a normal thing, I have no reason to be responsible or to investigate," she spoke in a nonchalant tone, and told me not to bother her anymore, so as not to make me sound insecure with unnecessary words.
"The you in this world is just your own delusion, the real you is still living here, this is the real you!"
...
While absorbing Chi, he also did not neglect stabilizing his foundation. In order to ensure that his Chi would not backfire on him while breaking through the realm of Immortal Alchemy, he temporarily sealed the Dragon Ball.
"Oh, I never expected that even after advancing to Immortal Alchemy, I still can't control this strange thing," Yuanhui sighed.
During these days, he had spent nearly fifty billion gold coins on consumption, and these gold coins...
"Hehehe, if the elders of the clan knew about such a huge expenditure, they would probably be shocked. Just my cultivation alone, the entire branch can't afford it."
"Still as poor as ever..."
Looking at the empty bracelet, Yuanhui couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
But if he really wanted to discuss replenishing the gold coins he lost, Yuanhui didn’t have the extremely clever business acumen of those disciples from major sects, naturally he didn't build any sort of commercial empire. All he thought about was having enough cultivation resources for himself.
"Ah, those children of major sects can have whatever they want, I'm the one suffering..."
"Pah!" Wu Xian angrily said, "I've never seen such a shameless person like you, trying to gain advantage and act cute. Even if the Four Pavilions can provide the resources for cultivation altogether, it might not be as much as what I have! Moreover, they have a sect to support, but I’m just supporting you alone, alright?"
"... Do I have to go borrow from the West City Prefecture?"
...
"Sure!" Miss Su Rou agreed very readily, but then she dealt Yuanhui a blow, saying, "But what you want is very expensive, at least... let me see, sixty million gold coins would be enough."
"Six... you might as well just sell me."
Upon hearing this, Yuanhui was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. How come the price is multiplied by tens of times just for a bracelet? Well, according to Miss Su Rou! Although he felt sorry, he also understood that these things were necessary. The low-level bracelet was cheap, but the storage space it provided was a bit insufficient for storing things.
*Chuckle.*
Seeing Yuanhui's pained expression, Su Rou couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, saying gleefully, "You little rascal, I'm just teasing you. Consider this bracelet, along with some medicinal herbs in the middle, as a gift from West City Prefecture to you. You can't refuse it! If you do, I won't help you..."
Looking at Su Rou, who exuded allure in her speech, Yuanhui could only smile bitterly and nod his head. Thinking to himself that West City Prefecture indeed was generous, being able to casually give away things worth tens of millions.
"Miss Su Rou..."
"At such a young age, why so formal? If you don't mind that I'm older, just call me Su Rou." Hearing Yuanhui repeatedly address her as Miss Su Rou, Su Rou couldn't help but feel a bit displeased, gasping angrily.
"Alright... Su Rou." Yuanhui hadn't seen such a generous person until now. He immediately greedily said, "I need a slightly more advanced method of regulating Chi recently, may I ask Su Rou... hehe, Su Rou, to help me find one?"
"Advanced?"
"Yes."
"A method of regulating Chi?"
"Yes, I really need it!"
Upon hearing this request, Su Rou’s eyebrows slightly creased. Third-rate Chi-regulating secret methods were easy to come by, but the high-level ones were more difficult, and the top-notch ones were even rarer. Even in their West City Prefecture, there were only one or two.
"Well, I'll help you find one. Although it's very easy for me to acquire, but you... Well, I'll figure something out."
"Thank you, Su Rou."
Yuanhui breathed a sigh of relief, sincerely clasping his hands. Although he had made a small profit from West City Prefecture now, he also knew that there were many affluent people in the West City, and they probably wouldn't care about this small amount, right?
"As for the matter of the secret method, once I have news, I'll inform you."
"Really? That would be a lot of trouble..."
Yuanhui nodded with a smile. Although the matter was settled, he didn't immediately leave as he had just met this generous lady and wanted to get to know her better. So, after chatting for a while, he bid farewell and left.
In the following days, because there was no longer any restraint from the medicines, his Chi started to become more turbulent!
"Ah... I can't take it anymore!"
But it was just right. Moderation is key. Previously, focusing solely on cultivation didn’t yield the expected results.
As for the gold coins... It must be said that West City Prefecture is truly efficient and capable in handling affairs in the vast West City. In just a few short hours, they had successively sold off all the items that wishers had brought, with Miss Su Rou’s shrewdness, she didn't auction off all the pills at once, but sold them off slowly through top platforms and branch stores, these elixirs had amazing effects for cultivators after all. However, no matter how important the item is, once there are too many, it becomes difficult to increase the price, rarity still remains the key here.
