CHAPTER 1587: CHAPTER 1587: XU YUFANG

It must be said, some martial artists with numerous treasures do indeed choose this method. After all, Lin Chen inquired about the shops in Wanmin City, and the price they charge for treasures is much lower compared to outside trading companies. However, the various elixirs, magic treasures, and talisman inscriptions they sell are extremely expensive.

"Junior Brother, you are quite straightforward. We are just earning some hard money. This coming and going is truly not easy. However, junior brothers and sisters can rest assured, our strength is guaranteed, we can absolutely ensure your safety. So, the fee is indeed somewhat expensive, fifty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals per person." Gu Zixuan looked at Lin Chen and others, smiling as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to curse these guys for their black hearts. Ordinary martial artists, not to mention fifty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals, would hardly be able to come up with twenty or thirty thousand. This is equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary martial artist.

Although Lin Chen earned quite a few Spirit Crystals every day during the past arena competitions, that was scraped from many people, one or two thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals from each person, accumulating such amounts. Yet, this guy directly asked for fifty thousand per person with one sentence – it’s no different from robbery.

However, for ordinary martial artists, this is an astronomical figure, but for Lin Chen, it didn’t really count as anything, just equivalent to the cost of Lin Chen refining one Flame Explosion Talisman. Lin Chen wasn’t lacking money; he was poor because the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron was practically a gold-devouring beast, requiring tens of millions of low-grade Spirit Crystals at any moment.

"We can accept this price of fifty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals, but how can we ensure you can safely escort us to the destination?" Lin Chen looked at Gu Zixuan and spoke blandly.

It’s necessary to understand that if these guys change their minds midway during the escort, their situation would be troublesome. Moreover, how could Lin Chen be certain that these guys wouldn’t have the intention of robbing at that time? Then, the danger Lin Chen and others face wouldn’t be just from bandits, but from these apparently amiable senior brothers.

"Junior Brother, please rest assured, we will sign a blood contract with you all before departure." Gu Zixuan looked at Lin Chen with a smile and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen nodded.

"In that case, Senior Brother Gu, please lead the way so that we can see your guard team and assess whether it’s worth the fifty thousand price." Lin Chen looked at Gu Zixuan and spoke.

"That’s naturally not a problem, disciples, please follow me." Gu Zixuan said, and immediately took off into flight, leading the way. Seeing this, Lin Chen and others quickly followed and flew over.

Soon, Gu Zixuan led Lin Chen and others to a city several tens of thousands of miles away.

On the border of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, there are several cities, and they are quite large, often serving as resting spots for disciples traveling outside, also providing some assistance to the border.

Normally, these cities are almost deserted, but now, due to the opening of these ruins, quite a few martial artists have come to stay.

Gu Zixuan’s group also stayed in this city.

After entering the city, Lin Chen and others followed Gu Zixuan and soon arrived at a courtyard within the city.

This courtyard looked grand and spectacular. It must be said, these guys earned quite a bit to have such a large courtyard.

Gu Zixuan led Lin Chen and others into the courtyard, taking them to meet several others.

These several people had obviously received Gu Zixuan’s message and were waiting early in the hall of the courtyard.

This guard team, including Gu Zixuan, totaled seven people.

Among these seven, three were at the third layer of the Creation Realm cultivation, three were at the fourth layer of Creation Realm, while Gu Zixuan had the second layer of Creation Realm cultivation.

It seems that Gu Zixuan had the weakest strength in this guard team, otherwise the hard task of soliciting business outside wouldn’t fall to him.

"Oh, isn’t this Junior Sister Zi Ling here? We really meet by chance. I haven’t seen you for many years; you’ve bloomed more and more beautifully, already grown into quite a lady." Just as Gu Zixuan led Lin Chen and others into the hall of the courtyard, a long-haired woman’s gaze fell on Zi Ling, she spoke immediately, with a smile on her face, her eyes seemingly full of mockery.

"Oh? Does Elder Sister Xu know this Junior Sister Zi Ling?" Gu Zixuan didn’t expect that Xu Yufang actually knew Zi Ling, if that’s true, then this matter would be somewhat difficult.

To these Inner Sect disciples, they seldom pay attention to the news of the Outer Sect. After all, in the eyes of these strong ones, the deeds of Outer Sect disciples are nothing but child’s play, not worthy in their eyes. Only those who pass the Cloud Sea Trial have the right to catch their attention.

"Naturally I know her, that was twenty years ago. At that time, this girl was just an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl. Unexpectedly, twenty years have passed, she has grown into a beauty not inferior to me." Xu Yufang looked at Zi Ling, smiling faintly as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling immediately recalled who this woman was.

Back then when the Yellow Hall was recruiting, they recruited a female. But before even one day passed, she defected from the Yellow Hall and viciously humiliated Mo Tianhai, the senior brother from Heaven Hall.

Although Zi Ling was young then, she remembered this one thing vividly as if it happened yesterday.

Zi Ling had a fiery temper since childhood, and at that time, she really wanted Senior Brother Mo Tianhai to beat Xu Yufang to a pulp.

However, Mo Tianhai’s temperament was different from Zi Ling, and thinking himself the elder, Xu Yufang a new disciple, he didn’t want to act against her, didn’t bother with her insults and let her go.

At that time, Zi Ling harbored great resentment toward this woman, but that woman’s cultivation wasn’t bad, within a few years, she passed the Cloud Sea Trial and entered the Inner Sect.

At that time, Zi Ling also thought that after she passed the Cloud Sea Trial and entered the Inner Sect, she would make sure to beat up that woman to vent her anger.

However, over the years, Zi Ling gradually forgot about this thing.

Unexpectedly, after twenty years, Zi Ling by chance encountered Xu Yufang again and immediately recalled the events of the past.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, let’s leave. Even without their escort, we can rely on our own strength to return to the Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
