"Only a tiny fee of Spirit Stones, and I’ll do the job for you!"
The pure and innocent Luo Chen.
Upon hearing these nonchalant, blatantly murderous words.
His tiny heart experienced a huge shock.
Are the people of Tian Lan Immortal City all so unrestrained?
He couldn’t help but ask, "Do you have a grudge against them?"
Chu Kui blinked, "No past beef, no present hate."
"Then you..."
"Sigh! I’m just catering to urgent needs, providing supply where demand is high. Don’t you, Friend Luo, have such needs?"
Chu Kui patted his broad chest, confidently saying:
"Leave it to me, and you will have no worries!"
Luo Chen shook his head.
He and those two groups were far from the point of drawing swords against each other.
In fact, thanks to Sima Huiniang’s efforts, the relationship between the Geng family and Luo Tian Creed had gradually improved.
Not long from now, they would once again take residence in Biyou Valley.
As for the Divine Craft Clan, it was merely an issue of losing some face.
If for this reason, they needed to wage a full-fledged war,
then Immortal Cultivators might as well stop their cultivation, and devote their days to fierce face-offs with Magic Tools.
Of course, necessary precautions should still be taken.
The Luo Tian Creed is currently in a state of rebuilding, recovering and recuperating.
Once this delicate period passes, the Luo Tian Creed will be able to truly establish its roots in Tian Lan Immortal City.
Provoke a war?
That would be unwise!
Seeing Luo Chen shake his head, Chu Kui couldn’t help feeling extremely disappointed.
His look of disappointment caught Luo Chen’s eyes.
He couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Friend Chu, since you are so... righteous! Surely in Tian Lan Immortal City, there must be many people who need your help! Why then, are you solely coming to me, Luo Tian Creed?"
Chu Kui claimed, "That’s because I think you can afford the price for my help."
A flicker flashed through Luo Chen’s eyes.
Chu Kui laughed and refilled their cups with Taibai liquor.
"Not that I’m intentionally prying, but your wealth, Friend Luo, is certainly not as meager as others think."
"Oh? How so?"
Chu Kui pointed at the ground beneath them and then up at the mountain’s waist.
"Just arriving in Tianlan, yet you’ve rented a Second Order Immortal Mansion, you even booked a Second Order Ascendant Grade Mansion with the Ice Castle Cultivator. This is not something an ordinary poor outlander cultivator can do."
"Maybe some people would think you’re putting on a front."
"But I don’t think so! After all, anyone who can afford to lease Danxia Peak for ten years must be incredibly wealthy."
Luo Chen understood and nodded.
He knew his recent series of moves in Tian Lan Immortal City were not secretive.
Anyone with just a bit of curiosity could come up with a guess or two.
This contradicted his personal principle of not showing off one’s wealth.
But he wasn’t by himself—he had a group under him, and he demonstrated substantial power.
With wealth and power, his Luo Tian Creed would face less obstruction during initial development.
The idea of a Rogue Cultivator and managing a group are two entirely different concepts.
The former requires extreme caution, with staying alive as the priority.
The latter, however, is all about broadening horizons and prioritizing interests.
It’s only with the display of formidable strength that one can earn others’ respect.
What Luo Chen did not understand was, "Since you have no feud with the Divine Craft Clan, why not seek them out? And then, turn around to deal with my Luo Tian Creed?"
"Hmph!"
Chu Kui scoffed.
"Those poor wretches can’t afford my service fee."
Luo Chen became interested.
He asked with a smile, "Just wondering, what’s your fee for taking on a job, Friend Chu?"
"This is simple!"
Chu Kui’s eyes shone with "gold" light.
"For dealing with a group like the Divine Craft Clan made up of Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, a hundred thousand! Just a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and I can take on the job."
"If it’s for dealing with a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, two hundred thousand!"
"I also take on jobs involving late-stage cultivators. However, the price needs to be negotiated based on specific factors. For example, whether the target has any powerful magic items, whether they have any big background, and the like."
"In a word, as long as the Spirit Stones are in place, any enemy will be crushed!"
Luo Chen was astounded.
Can jobs to kill people also have such detailed price tags?
Also!
Is this pricing a bit outrageous?
A hundred thousand, two hundred thousand- how many years would it take for a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator with no powerful life skill to save up?
After downing another glass of liquor and swallowing his saliva.
Luo Chen put down the wine cup, "I’m not sure if you have a usual profession, Friend?"
Chu Kui sighed, gloomily saying, "What else can I do for a living? I have no unique skills, with only some achievements on the path of fighting. So I usually rely on the rewards from the Dao Debate Platform and occasionally take on bounties, barely getting by!"
"Alas, it’s all hard-earned money!"
Luo Chen nodded approvingly.
Yes, it’s hard-earned money.
You sweat, and others bleed.
Chu Kui could also see that Luo Chen was not the kind who thought only about fighting and killing.
Today’s potential deal was surely not going to happen.
But he’d already treated someone to Second Order Spirit Wine, so he should at least establish some good karma.
"Developing a power is different from us rogue cultivators, there are just too many aspects involved."
"There will be issues sooner or later."
"I hope that when the time comes, Friend, you will remember me."
"It’s still the same thing, the Spirit Stones are in place, and everything will be smashed!"
Luo Chen naturally agreed.
Making the acquaintance of such a character, who can be considered a top-class expert even among Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, definitely has great advantages for him.
Plus, the other party wants nothing but Spirit Stones.
A problem that can be resolved with Spirit Stones is not a problem at all.
