Chapter 2539: Sleep
Chapter 2539: Sleep
The Divine Martial Sect is indeed a genuine top-tier power, but right now they are the poorest power in this city.
They were robbed by the God of Wine before and almost had to take off their underwear. Now they finally managed to get some crystals here by collecting city fees.
But who could have imagined that before they could even warm their hands over the crystals, they would run into Qin Fei, such a formidable obstacle?
All that hard work for so long, and it's all gone in one fell swoop.
They didn't even have enough crystals to compensate Qin Fei.
"Consider the eight hundred spiritual herbs and eight thousand crystals as what you owe me temporarily. If you don't repay them in a day, the amount will double. Today it's eight hundred, tomorrow it's one thousand six, the day after tomorrow it's three thousand two, and so on, until you finally repay them completely!" Qin Fei said expressionlessly.
"what?"
His words undoubtedly caused the faces of these people from the Divine Martial Sect to change drastically, as if they had eaten excrement.
They were already dirt poor, and Qin Fei was going to try and extort money from them with interest-fueled high-interest loans. Wasn't that just asking them to die?
More importantly, everyone else had only brought out four thousand crystals before, so how did it suddenly become eight thousand for them?
Qin Fei is blatantly lying.
Feeling indignant, someone immediately pointed out the problem with the crystal.
After hearing what they said, Qin Fei just smiled contemptuously and then said, "If you had readily handed over what I wanted from the beginning, I naturally wouldn't have made things too difficult for you. But since you were left until the end, not a single one of the eight thousand crystals can be missing. If you don't pay back in a day, the price will increase every day until you finally pay it off."
Madness!
overbearing!
At this moment, Qin Fei possessed two such attributes.
It's hard to believe that a top-tier power like ours has been forced into this state by Qin Fei.
Of course, Qin Fei was only relying on having the God of Wine as his master. Without such a trump card, he wouldn't have been able to get anything from these people, and he would have been lucky if he hadn't been slapped to death by them.
"We will put the materials together as soon as possible."
Since Qin Fei can talk about compound interest, it means he will definitely carry it out.
If the Divine Martial Sect doesn't return the money, the God of Wine might have to personally intervene in the end.
Then, a bloody storm will inevitably ensue.
So now they have no choice but to agree, otherwise Qin Fei definitely wouldn't let them leave easily.
"Since you've said that, then hurry back and find someone to borrow it. You'd better deliver the things to the Li family's residence today, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back later."
"clear."
After saying this, the disciples of the Divine Martial Sect did not linger and slunk away.
All the guards at the city gates had fled, and those who were stopped outside the city looked at each other in bewilderment.
Should we enter the city now... or not?
"There's no need to watch outside anymore. From now on, anyone can freely enter and leave this city without paying any fees," Qin Fei said to the people outside the city gate.
"it is good!"
Upon hearing this, a deafening roar of cheers immediately erupted outside the city.
"let's go!"
Seeing that people outside the city had begun to file into the city, Qin Fei and Li Yan did not linger and began to turn back towards their encampment.
“You’ve done a good deed, but the price you’ve paid is offending so many powerful forces. You’re forcibly leeching off them, and they probably won’t let you off the hook afterward,” Li Yan said to Qin Fei.
"If such a small amount of cultivation resources is enough for them to deal with me, then it only proves that their leader is stupid," Qin Fei said.
Now everyone in the city knows they are not easy to deal with, and could provoke an even more powerful god of wine at any time.
If they were to send people to deal with me under these circumstances, it wouldn't be revenge, but rather digging an even bigger hole for myself.
As long as they can bear the consequences of being completely robbed, Qin Fei welcomes them to come and seek revenge at any time.
Upon returning to the Li family's residence, Qin Fei had barely settled in when a member of the Li family came to report, "People from the Divine Martial Sect have come to deliver some things."
"Ok?"
"So fast?"
Upon hearing this, both Qin Fei and Li Yan showed surprise at the same time.
They were just complaining about being broke, and now they've already sent over the remaining compensation. Isn't that a bit too fast?
"Bring the things in first." Regardless of how the Divine Martial Sect managed to gather the compensation in such a short time, since they had already delivered it, Qin Fei was determined to accept it all.
Before long, the compensation from the Divine Martial Sect arrived: eight hundred spiritual herbs plus four thousand crystals.
Including the more than 1,000 crystals they had previously compensated him, Qin Fei actually made a little more.
"It seems you're the person we shouldn't mess with in this city right now." This was observed as Qin Fei acquired so many spiritual herbs and crystals in just one trip.
The key point is that acquiring these things didn't require much effort, which naturally made Li Yan quite envious.
Despite his background in a top-tier family like the Li family, they sometimes have to consider various factors when doing things, making them far less carefree and easygoing than Qin Fei.
They can hit whomever they want, and do whatever they want.
A life without burdens is actually the most fulfilling.
"Enough with the nonsense, Brother Li, I have something I'd like to ask you," Qin Fei said to Li Yan in a low voice.
"There are no outsiders here, so please speak your mind," Li Yan said, gesturing for them to continue.
"If you were stuck at a certain level in the past, what would you do to get over that hurdle?" Qin Fei directly revealed his true thoughts.
"Isn't this simple?"
"Just take drugs and go into seclusion," Li Yan said.
As super geniuses, if their breakthrough in cultivation is slower than others, the consequences can be quite significant. At best, they will be looked down upon; at worst, their own cultivation will be compromised.
Therefore, whenever they find themselves in a situation where their cultivation level is lower than others, they will try every means to improve their cultivation level.
Qin Fei has come to the right person to ask him.
"What if taking drugs and going into seclusion doesn't work?" Qin Fei asked again.
"Then get a good night's sleep. Maybe when you wake up, all your troubles will be solved by yourself," Li Yan replied.
Qin Fei: "......"
He felt that Li Yan's words were purely a form of self-comfort. If you don't take the initiative to solve the problem and just rely on sleeping, then even if you sleep until the end of time, it probably won't be of much use.
“Sometimes, it’s best not to put too much pressure on yourself. A balance of relaxation and control is the true way to cultivate. Think more positively and let things take their natural course,” Li Yan said, patting Qin Fei on the shoulder.
If you really can't find any other way, slowing down can be a way to become stronger.
Of course, these words are mostly meant to comfort.
"Fine, I'll just get a good night's sleep then!"
To be honest, Qin Fei couldn't remember how long it had been since he had slept on his own, not counting when he was unconscious.
For these cultivators, sleeping is actually more of a waste of time, because they are not ordinary people and do not need to restore their energy through sleep.
Now that Li Yan says that sleeping is also a form of cultivation, Qin Fei decides to give it a try.
"Senior brother, wait a moment." Just then, Su Chen suddenly called out to Qin Fei.
"What do you want?" Qin Fei asked, looking at Su Chen.
"Didn't you just snatch so many spiritual herbs and crystals from someone else? Can you lend me some?" Su Chen said without batting an eye.
At this point, he was practically ready to openly declare that he wanted a share of the spoils.
"How many do you want?" Qin Fei asked, looking at Su Chen.
"Five hundred spiritual herbs, plus a thousand crystals," Su Chen said after thinking for a moment.
"I don't have any spiritual herbs or crystals here, but I can share some pills with you."
As Qin Fei's gaze swept over Su Chen, he discovered that Su Chen's current realm had reached the peak of the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm, and he could potentially advance to the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm at any time.
If he were still young, with his current cultivation level, he would be considered a genius. Unfortunately, he is much older than Qin Fei and Li Yan, so his cultivation level is naturally not worth mentioning.
Most of the other resurrected beings were asleep from a very high level, but Su Chen was only at the Profound God Realm at his strongest. It has to be said that he is really unworthy of his identity as a resurrected being.
They've tarnished the reputation of that group.
"Even elixirs will do!"
Seeing that Qin Fei was going to give him the pill, Su Chen immediately smiled.
In fact, whether it's elixirs or spiritual medicines, they are essentially meant to help cultivators in their cultivation. In comparison, elixirs are definitely more effective.
"take it!"
He took out about fifty pills from his spatial ring, including ten Breakthrough Pills.
"If your cultivation level remains at the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm after taking these pills, then don't call me Senior Brother anymore. I don't have a junior brother as weak as you!" Qin Fei said expressionlessly.
"You treat me like this too?"
Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, Su Chen's eyes widened immediately.
He could tolerate being oppressed by the God of Wine before, since he wanted to become his disciple, but now Qin Fei was treating him like this too, which was simply torturing him on purpose.
"I'm doing this for your own good, don't be ungrateful."
Qin Fei glanced at Su Chen and said, "The one who improves their cultivation level is you. What does it have to do with me?"
"Besides, now that we've become the God of Wine's disciples, we represent more than just ourselves. It was fine before you didn't show up in front of everyone, but now that you're in the public eye, do you think you'll have any face if others find out that the God of Wine has taken a piece of trash as a disciple?"
"Does Master have any face to save?"
Qin Fei's words were truly insightful, making Su Chen blush.
Indeed, if his cultivation level were too low, how could he be qualified to call himself a disciple of the God of Wine?
He would be tarnishing the image of Dionysus.
"Don't worry, I won't leave seclusion this time unless I break through to the mid-stage of the Earth Profound Realm!"
With a determined effort, Su Chen set himself a goal!
