Chapter 256: Charging by Appearance
Chapter 256: Charging by Appearance
Lu Chen took the storage bag and confirmed that there were 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones and a similar number of spirit herbs in it.
He happily sent the storage bag into the Golden Bead World, but was slow to throw the jade token containing the information of passing the formation to Hu Shilong.
At this time, the aloof Hu Shilong finally looked at Lu Chen and said doubtfully:
"What do you mean? I have paid you all the spirit stones and spirit herbs. Why don't you just give me the information jade token and send me out?"
"Hahaha... Sir, please listen to me. This is what happened.
I see that you are handsome, dignified, suave, and a man of talent..." Lu Chen smiled and praised Hu Shilong.
The flattering face made Hu Shilong confused. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
Lu Chen thought of almost all the idioms he could think of to praise Hu Shilong, but in the end he really couldn't think of any words.
Then he continued to laugh:
"Hahaha... so... so I charge based on appearance. Do you know what appearance means? It means looks.
If you want to get out, you have to give me another 500,000, no! It's one million medium-grade spirit stones!"
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, raised his index finger, and gestured to Hu Shilong as a number.
Hu Shilong's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he clenched his fists tightly. If looks could kill, Lu Chen would have died several times over.
"Hahaha... Good! Very good! You are very good!" Hu Shilong laughed in anger and said with gritted teeth.
Then he threw another large storage bag to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. After taking the storage bag and checking that the spirit stones inside were indeed one million medium-grade spirit stones,
He felt that he was too careless. If he had known that the other party was so generous, he should have asked him for five million medium-grade spirit stones.
Lu Chen secretly regretted it in his heart, but this time he did not break his promise and readily threw the information jade token to Hu Shilong.
After Hu Shilong took the information jade token, he successfully entered the formation set up by Lu Chen, then came to the thatched hut and looked at Lu Chen meaningfully.
"Hahaha... Have a nice journey, goodbye!" Lu Chen smiled warmly and politely made a goodbye gesture to Hu Shilong.
Then he waved the general formation flag in his hand, and the teleportation formation in the thatched hut flashed with a golden light.
Then Hu Shilong disappeared into the thatched hut, which was very mysterious.
How could Lu Chen have the heart not to blackmail such a big client?
Others may not know Hu Shilong’s true identity, but Lu Chen recognized Hu Shilong the first time he saw him.
When she represented Feiyu Chamber of Commerce in the gambling competition, Yan Zixia told her the details of this guy.
Hu Shilong, the prince of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, is a well-known figure in Beichen Continent. He is young and wealthy. People like him generally cherish their lives very much.
That's why Lu Chen planned to blackmail him, but he didn't expect that it would be so smooth.
However, Lu Chen's actions once again aroused dissatisfaction and unrest among the surrounding cultivators.
None of them had expected that Lu Chen would use appearance as a criterion for increasing charges.
The monks who knew they were of average appearance, or the monks who were a little older, all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Some monks who thought they were handsome secretly smeared some dirt on their faces to make themselves look disheveled.
Lu Chen naturally saw these actions, but he didn't take them to heart.
Next, due to time constraints, everyone rushed to pay Lu Chen a bribe.
The cultivators in the Fusion Stage expressed their attitudes to Lu Chen one after another. After taking out all their spirit stones,
If that is still not enough, they are willing to give out more spiritual herbs as a discount.
After Lu Chen strictly checked the storage bags of every Fusion Stage cultivator, he also found that they were indeed short of money.
However, considering their good attitude, Lu Chen did not make things difficult for them.
In the spirit of taking what we can get, we took away some more spiritual herbs symbolically.
Lu Chen successfully teleported away all the fusion-stage cultivators.
"I...that's all I know! Look..." Song Wanting's cousin Mei Yeqing came to the light curtain of the formation, looked at Lu Chen with a complicated look, and said with some embarrassment.
She didn't have many spirit stones, only about 50,000 to 60,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
She wanted to consult Lu Chen to see if she could also use spiritual herbs to offset the shortage of spiritual stones.
What she never dreamed was that the little person she looked down upon would one day rush to ask for help, and it happened so quickly.
"Hehehe...you're welcome! Since you are Song Wanting's cousin, I'll give you another discount.
You just need to give me 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and the other conditions remain unchanged." Lu Chen said with a smile.
Mei Yeqing felt mixed emotions when he heard this, and felt that the matter was very ironic, but he still did as Lu Chen said.
After seeing Mei Yeqing off, Hua Weiyang, who had been with her, came to the light curtain of the formation and cooperated by throwing a storage bag to Lu Chen.
He smiled awkwardly:
"Hehehe... little brother! I am Miss Mei's friend. This is a little gift from me. Please accept it."
When Lu Chen saw clearly that there were only 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones and a small amount of spirit herbs in the storage bag, Lu Chen was happy.
It turns out that this guy is so self-righteous that he thinks that he will give Mei Yeqing the same preferential treatment for his sake.
How could he know that if it weren't for Song Wanting, Mei Yeqing would be nothing in Lu Chen's heart!
"Get lost! Who do you think you are? I tell you, one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, not a penny less, otherwise you will just be farming here."
Lu Chen scolded without giving any face, not taking the other party's early Jindan cultivation level seriously at all.
Hua Weiyang was on the verge of going berserk when he heard this. No low-level cultivator had ever dared to speak to him like this before.
"Hehehe... Sorry! I was reckless," Hua Weiyang quickly changed his attitude and smiled apologetically.
Then he took out another storage bag and threw it to Lu Chen.
"Oh?" Lu Chen took the storage bag and looked at Hua Weiyang meaningfully.
As the saying goes, "A dog that bites doesn't bark, and a dog that barks doesn't bite."
As a Jindan-stage cultivator, after being humiliated by me, he unexpectedly changed his attitude so quickly and took the initiative to apologize to me.
This shows that the other party is extremely cunning and can bend and stretch. People like this are often insidious and cunning.
However, Lu Chen was not worried about his revenge. As long as he dared to come, he would find a way to kill him...
