Song Chen wasn't going to be taken advantage of; he didn't know the senior disciple of the Pill Academy, so there was no reason for him to pay for treatment.
Now, he took out this fire-refining grass primarily to do a favor and prevent Zhao Ziyi from being gossiped about at the academy, and to avoid being blamed for not helping someone in distress.
Secondly, he wanted to own a medicinal herb garden in Xianheyuan, where land was scarce.
Money will eventually run out, so he needs to find ways to make money to ensure that he and Zhao Ziyi have money to spend.
I had heard Gu Yuyao say that the disciples of the Pill Academy and the Planting Academy could be allocated a piece of fertile land, and that's what he was after.
He looked at Zou Sheng, wanting Zou Sheng to offer something reasonable in exchange for the Fire-Refining Grass.
With tears still on his face, Zou Sheng was completely stunned by Song Chen's actions.
Song Chen is so rich, he even took out another Fire-Refining Grass.
He wanted to save his senior brother, but he wasn't wealthy enough to pay for it himself.
Zou Sheng mumbled incoherently, unable to utter a single word.
Song Chen explained his desire for a medicinal herb garden to Zhao Ziyi via telepathy.
Zhao Ziyi understood immediately.
“Zou Sheng, don’t you still have a spiritual field?”
You're a cultivator who doesn't know anything about farming, so you might as well rent that spirit field to Song Chen.
How about renting it to Song Chen for 20 years at a price of 5 gold coins per year?
This price is the highest rent among all the colleges.
Twenty years, while not a fleeting moment for cultivators, is not much either.
After thinking about it, Zou Sheng realized that he could still afford such a deal.
Zou Sheng gritted his teeth and said:
"I can't pay for this myself. How about we rent our medicinal herb fields to Song Chen for 10 years?"
Song Chen nodded, "Okay, let's do it your way. Let's sign and put our fingerprints on it."
A contract is generated using spiritual energy, and the two people sign and affix their fingerprints to complete the contract.
Zou Sheng took the elixir to save his senior brother, so he was able to sign on his behalf.
Thus, even before Song Chen entered the academy, he already had two plots of land within the academy with a 10-year lease.
Before Zou Sheng was arrested, he was still cursing, wishing that Song Chen would not pass the exam for Xianhe Academy, so that he could "reasonably" take back the spirit field.
The law enforcement officers took Zou Shengfei away, and the commotion finally subsided.
Song Chen and the other two returned to the ground, waiting for the assessment to begin.
Song Chen walked through the crowd and came to the person who had just testified for them.
Song Chen bowed with his hands clasped.
"My name is Song Chen. May I ask your name?"
Zhang Lan smiled awkwardly:
"I'm leaving soon, so you don't need to know my name. Let's not talk about it."
Song Chen and his companions were dressed plainly, but they spent lavishly. Based on their display of wealth just now, everyone thought Song Chen was a rich kid.
Zhang Lan, whose clothes were rolled up like tattered cloth, was in a somewhat embarrassed state.
Zhang Lan's clothes and pants were just a tattered piece of cloth, clearly indicating that he was a child from a poor family.
The Beggars' Sect members were all dressed better and had more clothes than Zhang Lan.
Instead of offering words of comfort, Song Chen gave Zhao Ziyi a large sum of money. He didn't say much, but spoke a few words to Zhao Ziyi in his heart.
Zhao Ziyi then took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhang Lan.
"Thank you for your help earlier. I would like to return the favor with this small token of my appreciation."
Zhang Lan originally wanted to decline, since he really hadn't done anything; he was just acting as a witness.
But Zhao Ziyi said to him:
"If you want to defy fate, then accept this storage bag."
If your cultivation level is high, what is this little bit of money?
A true man should stand tall and upright!
But even a hero can be brought down by a mere penny; our meeting today may be your good fortune.
There were 200 gold coins in this storage bag, which Zhao Ziyi took out.
Because Song Chen gave all the money to Zhao Ziyi, Song Chen's storage bag now contains only some white jade boxes and no gold left.
Zhang Lan was deeply moved when she heard Zhao Ziyi's words.
The saying "Even a hero can be brought down by a penny" resonated with him.
Zhang Lan clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, then sincerely addressed the two men:
"My name is Zhang Lan. Thank you for your kindness, Brother Song and Brother Zhao. I will accept this storage bag."
"It's just that I can't enter Xianhe Garden. If Brother Song needs my help in the future, I, Zhang Lan, will certainly do my utmost to assist you."
Song Chen smiled slightly:
"Brother Zhang, why don't you take a look at what's in the storage bag? Perhaps we'll meet at the academy."
Song Chen's words made Zhang Lan's heart pound. He thought of a possibility: could there be 75 gold in this storage bag? After all, Song Chen had been very generous just now.
Zhang Lan's eyes were red, and she opened the storage bag with trembling hands.
Then his eyes widened, "More than 75 gold?"
A full 200 gold coins?
Is this true?
Song Chen nodded to him, indicating that this was true.
Zhang Lan wiped her eyes.
"I lost my composure. I got a little excited just now. I'll go pay the registration fee first, and then I'll chat with Brother Song and Brother Zhao later."
Then Zhang Lan turned around and ran to the registration desk to line up and pay his tuition. He actually had money to pay his tuition!
Seeing this scene, Song Chen understood why Zhang Lan's tears were falling.
The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers.
Song Chen once thought he would never have another chance to cultivate.
When he felt the immense spiritual energy within him, he almost burst into tears.
——
The onlookers could only sigh in dismay at the sight.
Song Chen gave Zhang Lan a whopping 75 gold coins!
If they had known the reward would be so high, they would have raised their hands to testify earlier!
But now, they can only look at Zhang Lan with envy.
Zhang Lan is so lucky!
——
At this moment, Zhao Ziyi tugged at Song Chen's sleeve.
He said in a telepathic transmission within his mind:
"Song Chen, Zhang Lan, also has a connection with the protagonist!"
Song Chen frowned. This was too much of a coincidence!
"What connection?"
"Zhang Lan, in 'Peerless Prodigy of Immortal Cultivation,' is just like us, a cannon fodder character in the book..."
Zhang Lan failed to gain admission to Xianheyuan and lived alone in the Changyang Mountains.
As it happened, a small secret realm appeared in the Changyang Mountains, so he went there to seek opportunities.
Upon receiving the news, all the major sects and academies dispatched their disciples to the small secret realm for training.
The protagonist, Mu Feng, also went there. In the secret realm, Mu Feng encountered the savage Zhang Lan and captured Zhang Lan to explore the way.
At that time, Mu Feng was already a powerful Golden Core cultivator. Zhang Lan was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and could only be manipulated by others.
The two walked all the way to the center of the secret realm.
It turns out that this little secret realm was once a legacy point left behind by a powerful being after his death.
If someone meets the requirements for succession, they can truly receive the mantle of the great master.
The successor chosen by this great being was the upright Zhang Lan.
But Mu Feng was unwilling to hand over this opportunity, so he killed Zhang Lan and refined him into a soul crystal.
Later, Mu Feng gave the soul crystal to his newly acquainted lover.
His lover, using a soul crystal, deceived the weakened soul of a powerful being and successfully obtained the power's inheritance.
The mistress and Mu Feng also gained control of the small secret realm.
With control of the secret realm, they could do whatever they wanted.
"In order to kill and seize treasure, Mu Feng and his lover killed everyone in the small secret realm."
The fortunes of all sects on the Tianyan Continent have been damaged.
An age gap has emerged in the cultivation world, with fresh bloodlines dying out.
The core force of the future cultivation world has been almost entirely wiped out.
After Zhao Ziyi finished speaking, he sighed repeatedly.
He truly didn't understand why Heaven would be so biased towards Mu Feng.
Cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven, so one must be careful and cautious at every turn.
Once a cultivator commits evil deeds, he is more likely to suffer a backlash.
But Mu Feng did not do many good deeds during his cultivation journey, but he did a lot of bad deeds. In the end, he actually succeeded in ascending to immortality. Is it just because Mu Feng is the protagonist?
