Fate of the Immortals and Demons
Chapter 265: Coaxing and deceiving
After all, if ordinary people without any cultivation are allowed to enter and exit freely, it will not only lower the grade and affect the sensory perception, but also waste spiritual energy.
Mo Hei is now like a miser, unwilling to spend a penny. He values these ten spirit stones more than his life.
And you have to know that even if you work so hard to escort a merchant ship, you can only get twenty spirit stones.
It's just to take a stroll, have a look around, and show off, but it costs ten spirit stones. Isn't it obvious that he is taking advantage of me?
After a brief pause, Mo Hei took the opportunity to summon the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast from the Spirit Beast Circle, turned over and rode on the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast, and said arrogantly:
"Do you know who I am? How dare you ask me for ten spirit stones? Go call Shui Rou from the Treasure Pavilion and see if she will give them to you."
"Is this the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast? And it's only at the Xuan level? Could it be the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast that Qingyi Tower reported about, deep in the edge of the Myriad Demons Mountain Range?"
"Didn't I hear rumors that he had been subdued by an extremely ugly young man from the Shushan Sword Sect in the Tianling Realm?"
"Could it be that the rumors are false and this is another Fire Sheep Dragon Beast?"
"Now that the Ice God Palace ruins are about to be opened, this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast is priceless and a hot commodity."
"Wait, this young cultivator mentioned Shui Rou from the Jubao Pavilion? Could it be the Shui family's daughter, the Fairy Shui Rou, known as Little Luo Yan?"
"These guard dogs are truly insatiable. They only need one spirit stone to enter the Cultivation City, but they're asking for ten. They've hit a wall!"
"It's because, look at this unremarkable young cultivator, who is only at the Qi Building stage and dressed shabbily in cheap black monk robes. He looks down on others and wants to extort money."
"Now we're going to have a good show. They've clearly hit a wall. Let's see how these guys end up."
"..."
Faced with the pointing and talking of people around them, the two soldiers looked embarrassed, knowing that they had made a mistake.
It's no wonder that these four soldiers would treat Mo Hei as a rookie and kill him.
Firstly, Mo Hei not only had a low level of cultivation, he was only at the Qi Building Stage, and secondly, he was poorly dressed and not good-looking.
And she walked all the way from the pitch black, looking around, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with an expression of someone who had never seen the world.
From the perspective of these four soldiers, they naturally regarded this shabby-dressed guy as a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
But you have to know that collecting the city entry fee is a lucrative job. If you don't take the opportunity to make some money, how can you be worthy of this job?
One of the warriors, whose cultivation level was at the initial stage of foundation building, was obviously the leader among the four. He said with an apologetic smile:
"Since you are Fairy Shuirou's man, I will only charge one spirit stone."
Mo Hei sat steadily on the back of the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast, shook his head and said:
"How can that be possible? Don't worry, someone will come forward to pay for these ten spirit stones. We can't break the rules, right? Ten spirit stones are ten spirit stones, not a single one less."
Since this is at the city gate, the flow of people coming and going is huge.
As Mo Hei made this commotion, more and more people stopped to watch, and the area around them became larger and larger. They were whispering to each other, pointing and talking.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious and had reached a point where it was out of control.
What if this unattractive and shabby monk claimed to be the lover of Fairy Shuirou?
Those who deserve to be slaughtered must be slaughtered.
And not a single one of the ten spirit stones can be missing.
However, what caught the four soldiers off guard was that this shabby monk showed off the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast without saying a word.
If it were under normal circumstances, no one would even look at such a fire sheep dragon beast, which was only at the Xuan level, if it was led on the street.
Today, the ruins of the Ice God Palace are about to open.
Such a Xuan-grade Fire Sheep Dragon Beast is comparable to a ninth-grade Earth-grade Spirit Beast. Even if it is a first-grade Heaven-grade Spirit Beast, I am afraid there will be people willing to exchange it.
In this case, it is no wonder that the small leader of the armored soldiers bowed his head and gave in. Seeing that this shabby monk was so stubborn and determined not to give up, he had no choice but to bow his head and use both soft and hard tactics:
"To apologize to you, I'll waive your entrance fee. Please forgive me and be merciful, so that we don't get into trouble."
Mo Hei saw that the crowd of onlookers was getting bigger and bigger. He crossed his arms over his chest, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and could not eat anything. He deliberately said loudly:
"What's the point of being merciful? Is this a matter of mercy? Isn't it just ten spirit stones for the entrance fee? When Shui Rou from Jubao Pavilion comes, will she still be short of these ten spirit stones?"
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense and worse, and the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, the four soldiers were like ants on the hot pan, getting extremely anxious.
This time, it was like hunting geese all day and then having a goose peck its eye. I couldn't help but regret it.
Before the incident became a hot topic and known to everyone, the four soldiers discussed it. The leader tugged at the corner of his black clothes, handed over a bag of spirit stones, and whispered:
"Fellow Daoist, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will be kind enough to offer me a favor. There's no need to wait for Fairy Shuirou to condescend to come, right?"
Mo Hei also knew the simple truth of knowing when to stop, so he deliberately weighed the bag of spirit stones in his hand, and without saying a word, he rode the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast directly into the city and left.
The four soldiers then breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that losing money could ward off disaster.
If Fairy Shuirou or some other rich young lady or master really came, the four of them would inevitably be severely held accountable.
By then, it would not be as simple as losing a few spirit stones. Not only would you lose your job, but you might even risk your life.
With Mo Hei's departure, the news spread quickly. In a short while, it had caused an uproar in the city and everyone knew about it.
Mo Hei, riding the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast and walking on the spacious streets of the inner city, was really cool and attracted a lot of attention.
Although there were not many pedestrians in the inner city and it seemed very empty, it still attracted many monks to stop and watch.
Moreover, this inner city is indeed full of spiritual energy. If one practices in this inner city for one day, it is equivalent to practicing in the outer city for several days.
From this we can see that charging a spirit stone as an entrance fee does have its merits.
"Well, it's worthy of being the capital of the fourth-level cultivation nation, the Great Qin Dynasty. The spiritual energy is abundant, and it's not much less than that of the Nanzhao Kingdom."
Just when Mo Hei was feeling extremely comfortable, riding on the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast, walking, looking around, and commenting, several people in luxurious clothes came towards him.
One of them was a young man from a wealthy family, dressed like a nobleman, and said with a warm smile:
"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, what is your name? Can you please give up this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast?"
Before Mo Hei could answer, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, saying forcefully:
"Fellow Daoist, my Situ family wants your Fire Sheep Dragon Beast. Please name your price! Any amount of spirit stones is not a problem."
"Fellow Daoist, you should know that a man is innocent until he possesses a treasure. This is only a Profound-level Fire Sheep Dragon Beast. If it were in normal times, naturally no one would be interested in it. Fellow Daoist, it is better to take this opportunity to wait for the price to rise and sell it off."
Following closely behind was another young man dressed as a nobleman, strolling over.
"Excuse me everyone, this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast belongs to my Treasure Pavilion, and this fellow Daoist Mo Die is also a retainer of my Shui family."
Just when Mo Hei was delighted and thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, Shui Rou's voice suddenly rang out, followed by Ye Feng, Wu Tai and others who also rushed over after hearing the news.
Of course, it is impossible to sit back and watch Mo Hei act recklessly and collect huge amounts of money.
After all, as Shui Rou said, there are too many wolves and too little meat.
If Mo Heidu was allowed to accept the spirit stone deposit and enter the Ice God Palace ruins with a large group of people.
If we really find the Tianyi Spring Pool that is rumored to be helpful in building the ninth-grade foundation, how will so many people divide it up?
However, Mo Hei did not care. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, he did not want to arouse people's jealousy. He immediately put the Fire Sheep Dragon Beast into the Spirit Beast Circle, walked up to Shui Rou, and complained bitterly:
"Do you think I want to show off this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast? You insisted on charging me ten spirit stones for entrance to the city. You know I come from a poor family, with a gambling father, a sick mother, an uneducated brother, and a..."
"Stop."
Before Mo Hei could finish his words, Shui Rou gritted her teeth and interrupted him. Her eyes moved as she smiled sweetly at the people who had come over after hearing the news.
"I'm sorry, everyone, but this Fire Sheep Dragon Beast is not for sale at the moment."
The young man who claimed to be from the Situ family was the first to change his attitude and said with a friendly smile:
"Since he's Fairy Shuirou's retainer, it's naturally not easy to force him to buy or sell. However, this Taoist brother mentioned that his family is poor, with a gambling father, a sick mother, and an uneducated brother. I think this Taoist brother is indeed unlucky."
Mo Hei really knows how to strike the snake while it is still under attack. He nodded repeatedly and said with a sad face:
"If my family wasn't so poor, I wouldn't be living under someone else's roof."
"Friend Mo, there's no need to be so self-deprecating. Haven't you heard that being born in humble circumstances is not a disgrace? I'm Situ Nan, and I come from a well-off family in Xianyang."
This elegantly dressed young man had obviously sensed an unusual turn of events and was eager to please.
Ye Feng, Wu Tai, as well as Ye Fan, Wu Mei and others who came with them, didn't know what to say.
I never thought that this guy came from such a poor family.
At the same time, several other wealthy young men did the same, with a hint of joy in their eyes.
For these young men from wealthy families, the thing they have the most is money. If they can use this to befriend this impoverished monk, it will definitely be beneficial to them when they enter the ruins of the Ice God Palace.
It is likely that Shui Rou, who was known as Little Luo Yan, must have accepted this poor cultivator as her retainer by promising him a large sum of money because the cultivator had a fire sheep dragon beast.
In this way, although it is difficult to poach someone or steal their love, you can bribe them secretly with money.
