Zhao Ziyi took the storage bag and probed it with his spiritual energy.
Wow! So many good men!
Zhao Ziyi raised an eyebrow and asked:
"This money of yours, you didn't use the 'Intimate Payment' feature, did you?"
What is Intimate Payment?
Zhao Ziyi joked, "I can only look at this money, but I can't use it. If I use it, you'll be very angry."
Song Chen smiled and said, "Of course not. Money is meant to be spent, and you can use it as you please. I will work hard to earn more money and give you more in the future."
Zhao Ziyi blushed for the first time upon hearing this.
No one can resist the onslaught of money, especially in the cultivation world, where wealth means power and status.
Moreover, Zhao Ziyi was very poor, so poor that he didn't even have ten taels of gold on him.
He was born in Xianhe Garden, where everything he ate, wore, slept, and traveled cost money.
He had spent his master's money when he was a child, and he felt guilty about it when he grew up, so he worked to pay it back.
Although Zhao Ziyi is 23 years old, he is penniless.
When he went out to find Song Chen, he borrowed 1 gold coin from his master for travel expenses.
The most valuable thing he owned was a flying sword.
The flying sword was crafted free of charge by the academy elders, costing only 4 gold coins for materials.
The storage bag Song Chen had just given him contained piles of gold, so dazzling it almost blinded him!
He scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that there were more than 2,400 pieces of gold!
He's really latched onto a powerful patron!
No wonder even the protagonist, Mu Feng, is envious.
Song Chen's planting skills are indeed quite impressive.
The speed at which they make money is incredible!
Zhao Ziyi couldn't help but give Song Chen a thumbs up.
ox!
...
Fuzhou
The Han family.
Han Lei frowned as he looked at Mu Feng, his words tinged with fear:
"Young Master Mu, this matter has blown up, and the City Lord will inevitably have to go to Jinyuan City. Now that Langya Academy has started accepting applications, let's set off quickly."
Mu Feng was somewhat sullen.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to see Song Chen so casually."
But who knew that Song Chen would use evil magic to obtain spiritual energy, and actually kill all the servants of the Song family, and even injure me.
Han Lei narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"Song Chen is nothing but a useless person who cannot cultivate. Even if he obtains spiritual energy, he will be stuck at the Qi Refining stage for the rest of his life."
"We have nothing to fear from him. Besides, Young Master Mu, you have already established your foundation. Given time, you will surely be able to personally kill Song Chen and avenge yourself."
Mu Feng nodded, touched. "Thank you for your support!"
He then threw himself into Han Lei's arms.
Han Lei lowered his head and inhaled the fragrance emanating from him, wishing he could pull this body tightly into his arms.
**
On the night of his fight with Zhao Ziyi, Mu Feng lingered a little longer in order to loot all of the Song family's valuables.
They were caught red-handed by the city patrol team that arrived at the scene.
He managed to plunder over a hundred gold coins, which he then handed over to the authorities.
Mu Feng was so angry he was trembling. All those dirty jobs he did were for nothing!
The Song family's misfortune alarmed the city lord.
An investigation revealed that...
None of the Song family members survived; the only survivor at the scene was Mu Feng.
Mu Feng shifted all the blame to Song Chen, leaving no way to prove anything.
Mu Feng said that Song Chen practiced an evil martial art and killed everyone in the Song family.
They even injured him when he was passing by.
The wound on his shoulder is proof.
The wound hadn't been treated; it was a bloody mess and looked quite pitiful.
Although there were witnesses and physical evidence, the city lord did not believe it.
The Song family was a prominent family in Rongcheng, one of the four major families.
Previously, they relied on their strength to gain a foothold.
Later, it was Song Chen's financial resources that allowed him to gain a foothold.
Song Chen's planting techniques have made the entire Rongcheng prosperous.
Each household receives a hundred or so coins a year.
But Song Chen, the head of the Song family, only had one hundred gold coins in his entire fortune?
impossible!
Song Chen earns more than 100 gold coins from the trading house every month!
If Song Chen suddenly went mad, he wouldn't be able to take the money with him.
The Song family's most valuable medicinal herb garden was completely dug up.
Mu Feng must have kept all that money for himself!
Murder for treasure is all too common in the cultivation world.
People aren't stupid, and they won't lose their intelligence in the face of the protagonist's halo.
The city lord of Rongcheng was about to drag Mu Feng into prison on the spot.
Then they looted Mu Feng's storage bag.
Mu Feng protested his innocence, saying he hadn't touched the herb garden at all.
The city lord of Rongcheng refused to listen to any explanations and insisted on searching Mu Feng.
Unfortunately, a figure descended from the sky and stopped the city lord of Rongcheng.
The man was dressed in white, his cold and stern face never showing a smile, and even the soles of his shoes were spotless.
The person who came was none other than Daoist Wuchen!
Wu Chen, a powerful cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage who had reached the Core Formation stage at the age of one hundred, and the City Lord of Rongcheng, a person at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, did not dare to resist Wu Chen at all.
They had no choice but to let Mu Feng go.
Because Mu Feng called Wu Chen "Master".
After Mu Feng was taken away, he did not leave with her, but was left at the Han family's residence by Wu Chen.
Then Wuchen disappeared in a hurry, and it's unknown what he did next.
At this moment, Mu Feng lay in Han Lei's arms, his eyes cold and sinister.
He will make Song Chen pay the price sooner or later, along with the henchmen around Song Chen, by tearing out their hearts and livers.
Seeing Han Lei become aroused, Mu Feng's body became even more supple.
He looked at Han Lei with a charming smile.
A night of hard work.
The next day, Han Lei, accompanied by Mu Feng, bid farewell to the Han family patriarch.
They were heading to Jinyuan City to study at Langya Academy.
Before leaving, Han Lei was summoned to a secret room by the family head for a talk.
The head of the family frowned and gave instructions:
"Mu Feng isn't as kind as he looks. Be careful when you're out and about."
Han Lei nodded and said:
“Patriarch, I know. But being with Mu Feng is good for me.”
"oh?"
"Mu Feng is born with a phoenix physique. Cultivating with him is twice as effective. In just seven days, I have already broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment, and my strength has greatly improved!"
Han Lei smiled with great confidence.
"Don't worry, Master. He listens to me now, so there's no need to worry."
Mu Feng traveled a great distance from Langya Academy to Rongcheng to find him, all for the sake of this dual cultivation matter.
Langya Academy is full of talented people, and the fact that Mu Feng was so eager to sleep with him just proves that Han Lei is very strong and has great potential.
As the conversation drew to a close, only the most crucial point remained.
tuition fee.
The Han family patriarch reluctantly took out 101 gold coins and handed them to Han Lei.
"You must cultivate diligently, and once you are strong enough, you can protect the Han family and help it go further."
This 101 taels of gold was collected by all branches of the Han family over seven days. Don't squander it; cherish it.
Han Lei nodded heavily. These 101 gold coins would be more than enough for the entire Han family of 30 people to spend in a whole year.
This was the first time he had ever had so much money.
With the 101 gold coins in hand, Han Lei and Mu Feng set off, heading straight for Langya Academy.
Several hours later.
The two arrived at Jinyuan City, dismounted their flying swords, and lined up to pass through the city gate.
"The toll for passing through the city gate is 60 taels of silver per time."
Han Lei's face turned ashen upon hearing this. After deducting the tuition fee of 100 gold coins, he only had 1 gold coin left for miscellaneous expenses.
But now, even 1 gold coin isn't enough to cover the toll for two people.
Looking at Mu Feng, who was leaning on her shoulder, she saw no intention of looking up to pay.
Han Lei had no choice but to grit his teeth and tear out his savings, as if cutting off a piece of his own flesh.
After emptying his personal stash, Han Lei finally gathered enough money to hand over 1 gold and 20 silver coins to the gatekeeper.
Upon entering Jinyuan City, Han Lei announced loudly:
"Let's head to Langya Academy for the entrance exam today. Things might change if we wait too long, so it's better to enroll first."
The main problem is that if he doesn't enroll in school today, he won't even have money for a hotel.
