Chapter 276 I left my son without a penny!
After receiving Sheng Yunqi's invitation, Chen Ye was delighted, but he still pretended to be hesitant on the surface: "Can I really visit Brother Sheng's house? Would it be inappropriate? I'm just a small Qi Refining cultivator..." The inferiority complex was revealed in his words.
Sheng Yunqi said quickly: "Don't worry about these things, you are my friend, I don't care about your cultivation level, and my family won't mind either. And your cultivation has reached the peak of Qi Refining, I can help you get some foundation-building pills when I get home, and you will be able to build your foundation smoothly."
Under Chen Ye's intentional or unintentional hints, Sheng Yunqi was still very positive about helping Chen Ye improve his cultivation, so the first thing he thought of was to get Chen Ye a few foundation-building pills to help him build his foundation.
Chen Ye declined, "Isn't this bad? I can't just rely on our friendship and eat and take things from you for free. I can earn spirit stones to buy the foundation-building pills myself, but they're hard to buy, so I need your help, Brother Sheng."
Chen Ye knew that if he directly rejected Sheng Yunqi's kindness, Sheng Yunqi would gradually become distant from him, but if he accepted his kindness without restraint, the other party would gradually feel that he was not taking advantage of him enough, so this balance was just right.
He said that he didn't want to take advantage of Sheng Yunqi for nothing and was willing to pay spirit stones for it. Could Sheng Yunqi really ask him for the market price? I'm sure you'll get a discounted price.
In this way, he can spend only a few spirit stones to buy the priceless Foundation Establishment Pill, and he can also establish a good image in Sheng Yunqi's mind that he is just making friends with him and not trying to gain benefits from him.
Chen Ye's calculations were clattering, and Sheng Yunqi, this naive child, really thought that Chen Ye was a man of high character and didn't want to take advantage of others, so he offered to spend spirit stones to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. He didn't think that providing the Foundation Establishment Pill for Chen Ye to buy was a great help to Chen Ye at all. He felt that he couldn't help Chen Ye at all, so he took the initiative to say that he would take some auxiliary pills from the family's medicine to increase the probability of foundation building and "sell" them to him.
Chen Ye still used the previous method. He tried to refuse at first, but then pretended that he couldn't refuse. He couldn't let his good friend down, so he decided to buy it with his own spirit stones. He also pretended to ask Sheng Yunqi how many spirit stones he wanted.
Does Sheng Yunqi have the nerve to give Chen Ye a quote? He was also in a dilemma. If he quoted a high price, it would seem that he did not value Chen Ye as a friend that much. If he quoted a low price, what if Chen Ye felt that he was looking down on her?
Sheng Yunqi had no choice but to say, "I don't know the exact price. When I return to the family, I will take you to the family's alchemy hall to have a look."
Chen Ye agreed with a smile. This kind of Dan Tang that only supplies internally to the Nascent Soul family has a lot of good elixirs with limited supply.
Sheng Yunqi took Chen Ye towards Feisha Fairy City.
The journey was quite arduous. After all, there were teleportation arrays only between the great immortal cities. If they wanted to teleport directly to Feisha Immortal City, they had to rush to the nearest great immortal city and take the teleportation array.
These teleportation arrays are all left over from the past. Nowadays, no cultivator knows how to build a teleportation array. After all, building a teleportation array not only requires grandmaster-level attainments in formations, but also requires cultivation in the Tribulation Crossing period, as well as construction drawings of the teleportation array.
Nowadays, the strongest person in the entire cultivation world is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage. It is already very good if they can maintain the teleportation array left by the ancient cultivators.
However, with the passage of time, the number of teleportation arrays left is gradually decreasing, and many of them cannot be repaired after being damaged and have to be abandoned.
Therefore, the cost of taking a ride on the teleportation array is getting higher and higher. Most ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford to take the teleportation array. So these ordinary cultivators either have to rely on themselves to travel through mountains and rivers, or stay in the same area and do not travel far away.
For ordinary cultivators with low strength, wanting to cross mountains and ridges is tantamount to seeking death, because there are countless powerful monsters between the mountains, and there are also robbers in the cultivation world who kill people and rob treasures, making it a luxury for ordinary cultivators to travel far away.
Therefore, for most ordinary cultivators, from birth to death, it is difficult for them to leave the immortal city where they were born thousands of miles away.
Although Chen Ye is only a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he has had many adventures and can be considered knowledgeable.
At least now he can use Sheng Yunqi's spirit stones and take the teleportation array directly to Feisha Fairy City.
Sheng Yunqi and Chen Ye stood in the teleportation formation, looking at the spirit stones around them being swallowed by the formation, feeling distressed: "This teleportation formation really consumes too many spirit stones."
When he came here from Feisha Fairy City by teleportation array, someone sent him here, and the spirit stones needed for the teleportation array were also borne by the Sheng family, so Sheng Yunqi didn't need to bear the cost himself. Moreover, he didn't have a single spirit stone on him at that time, and couldn't afford it.
Now that he was going back to Feisha Fairy City, he naturally had to pay for the spirit stones here himself, and the teleportation array required payment before boarding.
The transportation fee for two people directly emptied the savings of Sheng Yunqi, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Fortunately, Sheng Yunqi is the eldest son of a noble family. All the spirit stones he earns are just the experience points he earned when he went out for training, and do not represent his entire fortune.
So he wouldn't feel too bad about spending it all, because he would be rich again when he returned home anyway.
If he were an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, taking this teleportation array would probably lead to bankruptcy. If he wanted to live a normal life in Feisha Fairy City, he would probably have to sell his "real estate assets".
At least when Chen Ye looked at the spirit stones that were being consumed so quickly, he felt heartbroken even though they were not his spirit stones.
After arriving at Feisha Fairy City, Chen Ye looked at the magnificent palace in front of him and was a little surprised and puzzled, because when they were riding on the teleportation array, although the teleportation array was well protected, it was not located inside the palace.
Sheng Yunqi saw his confusion and said, "This teleportation array is now under the control of the Qi family of Feisha Fairy City, so the Qi family built a palace with the teleportation array as the center and sent a guard team to guard it."
After all, this teleportation array is a golden goose that lays golden eggs continuously.
However, other Yuanying forces will not let the Qi family completely control the teleportation array, and will also send people to get a piece of the pie. Therefore, the teleportation array of Feisha Fairy City is almost chaired by the Qi family, and other Yuanying forces are major shareholders, sharing the profits brought by the teleportation array together.
Qi family?
Chen Ye immediately thought of Qi Shen, who was still parasitic on him. The Qi family in Feisha Fairy City should be Qi Shen’s family.
