Chapter 11 Reward

Sun Mingshan wiped his face with his sleeve and carefully held up the token. "Young friend, are you really willing to offer a reward of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones?" Yun Ruchen had been in a trance since Feng Jingluo finished speaking, and now he stared at her with his neck twisted stiffly. "Could you please, Manager Sun, go to the Juyuan Bank? Although Qinzhou City is a large city, it will take time to withdraw 100,000 high-grade spirit stones at once." "I hope that tomorrow morning, the cultivators in Qinzhou City will get the news and head for the Qinzhou Mountains." "Wait a moment!" Yun Ruchen raised his hand, his pupils trembling, making him look like a frightened rabbit. "No need to spend so much..." This wasn't just spending money; it was more like bankruptcy. Even his mother and father's private vaults might not have that many spirit stones. Of course, they had to exclude various magical instruments, elixirs, and so on. "I think... being kidnapped isn't a big deal." Yun Ruchen's words stumbled. "After all, I'm not injured." If the sect knew that Feng Jingluo had spent 100,000 high-grade spirit stones on him... thinking of his mother and father's reactions, the reactions of the disciples, Yun Ruchen felt a moment of suffocation. Feng Jingluo shook her head. "I'll need to go into the mountains for further training. The presence of evil cultivators is too dangerous for the Young Sect Master." "Besides..." She twitched her lips, narrowing her eyes as she lowered her gaze to the teacup twirling between her fingers. The sweltering afternoon sun fell on her shoulders. The moment she lifted her eyes, her dark pupils seemed to ignite with a fierce, unbridled intensity. "Ruchen is nominally my husband." "Those who touch me will pay the price." She set the teacup down, a gentle sound that made several people shudder. Jiang Chen recalled Feng Jingluo's actions since he rose to fame, closed his eyes, and exhaled. After a moment's rest, he opened his eyes and waved his hand. "Young Sect Master, don't worry. Within the secret realm of the Seventy-Seven Lianjue Mountains," she pointed at Feng Jingluo, "she robbed a mine." So, 100,000 high-grade spirit stones might not be much for Feng Jingluo. After all, even a major sect might not possess a few high-grade mineral veins, while Feng Jingluo alone owned an entire mine. And who knew if he had any other. "Oh." Yun Ruchen's eyes were glazed over. "Then I'll take care of it now." Sun Mingshan stood up, straightening his body for the first time. "At the auction in seven days, please bring your husband and attend. I've reserved the best private room for you." With that, Sun Mingshan bowed and left. Yun Ruchen watched helplessly as the hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones departed. In a trance, he imagined himself being tied up by a group of people, hanging in the air to vent their anger. ... Bai Yuge placed several high-grade spirit stones into the formation, and quickly...

Sun Mingshan wiped his face with his sleeve and carefully picked up the token.

"Young friend, are you really willing to offer a reward of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones?"

Ever since Feng Jingluo finished speaking, Yun Ruchen had fallen into a trance, and now he was staring at her with his neck stiffly turned.

"Could you please ask Manager Sun to go to Juyuan Bank? Although Qinzhou City is a big city, it will take time to withdraw 100,000 high-grade spirit stones at once."

"I hope that tomorrow morning, the cultivators in Qinzhou City will get the news and head to the Qinzhou Mountains."

"Wait a moment!"

Yun Ruchen raised his hand, his pupils trembling, making him look like a frightened rabbit.

"There's no need to spend so much money..." This is no longer spending money, it's more like bankruptcy.

Even his mother and father's private vaults might not have such a large number of spirit stones. Of course, various magical instruments, elixirs, etc. must be excluded.

"I think... being kidnapped isn't a big deal." Yun Ruchen's words stumbled. "After all, I'm not injured."

If the sect knew that Feng Jingluo had spent 100,000 high-grade spirit stones on him. Thinking of his mother and father's reactions and the reactions of the disciples, Yun Ruchen felt a little suffocated for a moment.

Feng Jingluo shook his head, "We will need to go into the mountains to train in the future. The presence of evil cultivators is too dangerous for the young master."

"Besides..." She pulled the corners of her mouth, squinted her eyes, and looked down at the teacup turning between her fingers.

The sultry afternoon sun fell on her shoulders. The moment she raised her eyes, her black pupils seemed to be ignited with flames, wild and wanton.

"Ruchen is nominally my husband."

"Anyone who touches my people will have to pay the price." The slight sound of putting down the teacup made several people tremble.

Jiang Chen thought of everything Feng Jingluo had done since he became famous, closed his eyes and exhaled.

After calming down for a while, she opened her eyes and waved her hand, "Young Master, don't worry. In the secret territory of the Seventy-Seven Lianjue Mountains," she pointed at Feng Jingluo, "she robbed a mine."

Therefore, one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones may not be anything to Feng Jingluo.

After all, even a large sect may not have several high-quality mineral veins, but Feng Jingluo alone owns an entire mine.

Besides, who knows if this guy has any other ones.

"Oh." Yun Ruchen's eyes were dull.

"Then I'll deal with it now." Sun Mingshan stood up, his body straight for the first time.

"At the auction in seven days, please bring your husband and attend. I've reserved the best private room for you."

After saying that, Sun Mingshan bowed and left.

Yun Ruchen watched helplessly as the 100,000 high-grade spirit stones left.

In a trance, I seemed to see myself being tied up by a group of people and hung in the air to vent their anger.

…

Bai Yuge placed several high-grade spirit stones within the formation, increasing the speed to maximum. A faint crackling sound could be heard from the flying boat, unable to withstand the pressure. At this rapid speed, a few hours later, he appeared in the Qinzhou Mountains.

But the people naturally left, so he entered the inner city of Qinzhou City and went directly to the best residence in the city, Dengtian Pavilion, to ask if anyone had seen the two people who looked like Feng Jingluo and Yun Ruchen.

After receiving instructions, he appeared outside the mansion at dusk to ask for a meeting.

At that time, Jiang Chen and Xu Mobai were still staying here and refused to leave.

When he heard the voice, he looked as if it was expected.

After Feng Jingluo's permission, he walked in and raised his eyebrows when he saw Jiang Chen and Xu Mobai.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Chen said calmly: "Watch the show."

The two men stared at Bai Yuge with malicious eyes, making him feel uneasy and sitting uncomfortably at the table.

He ignored the two men and asked, "Why did you leave so suddenly?"

Feng Jingluo told the reason.

"Since it's a training, then add me. It's just right that we can go together when the forbidden area opens."

Feng Jingluo did not refuse, and her mind was not on the conversation.

Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Yun Ruchen. He looked back with a puzzled look and a gentle smile.

She tapped the table with her fingers. Jiang Chen and Xu Mobai would chat with her from time to time, making her forget that Yun Ruchen hadn't eaten since she was abducted.

She was used to being alone and had no idea how to take care of others. Fortunately, Yun Ruchen was not a small animal, otherwise she would have starved to death.

"You must be hungry."

Yun Ruchen blinked and looked away little by little.

He was indeed hungry for a while, but he was too embarrassed to mention it to Feng Jingluo. He thought it would be okay to endure it for a while, and he felt a little embarrassed when he was asked suddenly.

"I forgot."

She flipped her hand over, revealing a snow-white fruit. She handed it to Yun Ruchen. "Eat one first to fill your stomach."

Yun Ruchen took the fruit, it seemed to be...Xue Linglong.

A magical fruit that grows on snowy mountains, used to strengthen one's foundation. Many geniuses are fed Snow Linglong in their childhood. The stronger the foundation, the greater the difference between them, even among the same geniuses.

If you are seriously injured, it is not easy for your foundation to become weak and fall into a lower realm.

This kind of spiritual fruit fills his stomach...

The scorching gazes of Xu Mobai and Jiang Chen were about to melt him.

What's more, there was Bai Yuge's forbearing look, and his fingers were about to press into the stone table.

"I still..." Yun Ruchen returned the spiritual fruit and was pushed into Feng Jingluo's arms.

"After eating, I'll ask the servant to go to the restaurant to order food." Feng Jingluo got up and left.

After she left, Jiang Chen spoke slowly: "Young Master, how about five hundred medium-grade spirit stones?" She wanted Xue Linglong to refine the elixir. If such a good thing could be refined into a pill, it might help her advance.

Xu Mobai was also tempted: "Eight hundred."

Bai Yuge frowned, "This is what Feng Jingluo promised him, what are you trying to steal?"

He turned his head and said in a dull voice, "Eat it. Don't let her kindness go to waste."

Yun Ruchen had no intention of selling it. He took a bite and the sweet taste spread in his mouth.

It seemed that even my heart could feel the sweetness and was beating happily.

Bai Yuge simply turned around, with his back to Yun Ruchen, and clenched his fists as he listened to the voice.

Xu Mo rolled his eyes, and the corners of his taut mouth couldn't help but smile. "Brother Bai, I'm afraid you don't know the big thing that happened today?"

"What's the big deal?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked at Xu Mobai. Aren’t you afraid that he will be angry to death?

Xu Mobai smiled and said, I'm just a spectator, what does it have to do with him?

He said, "Young Master was unexpectedly abducted to the mountains of Tanzhou. If Feng Jingluo hadn't arrived in time, who knows what would have gone wrong."

He paused, observing Bai Yuge's reaction. "After returning, Feng Jingluo was furious. He called the Qianbao Pavilion's manager and issued a bounty to eliminate all evil cultivators within the Tanzhou Mountains."

He leaned over Bai Yuge and spread his fingers. "One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"Click"

The teacup was crushed by Bai Yuge, who turned stiffly and looked at Yun Ruchen with innocent eyes.

He is probably innocent.

"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!" The words were like heavy stones, smashing to the ground piece by piece.

Hearing the rustling of Feng Jingluo's clothes as he walked, Bai Yuge closed her eyes and forced a smile.

"She has a serious personality and hates it most when someone touches her things."

He put the broken teacup into the storage ring, replaced it with a new one and poured himself some tea.

Xu Mobai and Jiang Chen leaned back, thinking that it was most interesting to watch a show in person.

They expected Yun Ruchen to fight back, but he just smiled and pretended not to hear.

The two of them cheered secretly, no matter how fierce the swords and sabers are, I will remain unmoved, my realm is high!

Feng Jingluo sat down. While drinking tea, Bai Yuge took a look at him. He felt like there was a blockage in his chest, and he felt uncomfortable.

Feng Jingluo was unaware of the undercurrents surging at the table. She supported her forehead with her hands and fell into deep thought. No one disturbed her.

The atmosphere became lively again when the food from the restaurant was delivered.

The restaurant where Feng Jingluoding stayed was naturally not bad. The food was spirit beast meat stewed with spirit medicine, and the rice was also top-quality spirit rice, with a fragrant aroma and spiritual energy emanating from it.

After dinner, everyone said goodbye and left. Bai Yuge decided to live in the house next to Xu Mobai.

Another ordinary morning.

The entire Dengtian Pavilion area became noisy. Outside the Dengtian Pavilion, the entire inner city was bustling with people and the sound of people was deafening.

Yun Ruchen woke up and walked out of the house. Those people were already sitting in the yard.

Jiang Chen brought the news: "Manager Sun has already posted the reward. At first, some people didn't believe it was so high, but then they saw it was signed by you. Now, many people are clamoring to leave the city and head for the Qinzhou Mountains."

"I think we can get good results in a few days."

"However, there are many evil cultivators in the Qinzhou Mountains, and the population is complex. I'm sure they won't just sit there and wait for death." Xu Mobai expressed his concern, "What if they attract other powerful evil cultivators..."

Although Qinzhou City is rich, there are no large sects in the area. They prefer to establish sects in some high mountains so that they can test the sincerity of the visitors.

There are only a few sect branches doing business in the city.

They were all considered geniuses. He was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, while Jiang Chen was a bit weaker, at the early stage. Bai Yuge had been gone for a long time, so he should have reached the Golden Core stage, or he might have advanced quietly, but at most he would be at the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Every one of the city's managers is probably at the Nascent Soul stage. Those above the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be sent to a place like this.

If they provoke revenge from powerful evil cultivators, they may not be able to resist.

Feng Jingluo's face was free of worry as she said, "It's okay."

Xu Mobai was speechless. She was calm and composed, and had always looked dead.

He rolled his eyes secretly. Xu Mobai had once investigated all the major and minor events that Feng Jingluo had experienced during his cultivation since he came down the mountain.

When he was still weak, he only trained in small places and took on missions. But no matter what enemy he faced, he always won with one sword.

Either kill or seriously injure the opponent.

After catching up with them and entering some secret realms, they were still defeated with a single sword strike. There was only the surging sword energy, but no fluctuations in spiritual energy, so to this day they are still unsure of Feng Jingluo's realm.

Jiang Chen took over the conversation: "Now that such a big incident has happened, and there will be the Qianbao Pavilion auction in a few days, it may really attract people who are waiting for an opportunity to act."

"How about hiring an elder in the Out-of-Body Realm to provide protection?"

Feng Jingluo shook his head: "No need."

Jiang Chen was puzzled. Feng Jingluo would never be the kind of person who would be so arrogant. So what trump card did she have to ensure that nothing would happen?

A flash of tokens interrupted their conversation.

Everyone's eyes turned to the token on Yun Ruchen's waist.

Yun Ruchen stared at the token in silence, wondering whether it was Sheng Lian who called because he got the news, or his mother and father who called because they got the news.

However, he didn't really want to answer either call.
