Chapter Seventy: Array Deployment Costs Eighty Spirit Stones

  At this moment, Cai Mao and others also walked in, just in time to see Su Han asking Dong Ziyin for the Ling Stone.

  Cai Mao's heart suddenly felt a slight joy, but his face showed an indignant expression. He walked up to Su Han with big strides and rebuked him in a stern tone: "Su Han, we are all fellow disciples, and Zi Zhen is even your senior sister. She asked for your help, you should have helped her for free. You actually took advantage of her misfortune and demanded spirit stones. This behavior is truly shameful."

  Su Han's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he glanced at Cai Mao: "Who are you?"

  Cai Mao smiled proudly and looked down at Su Han, saying loudly: "I am Cai Mao, the son of the king of Funan County."

  "Oh, so it's Brother Cai." Su Han glanced at Cai Mao and said lightly: "According to your words, Brother Cai, we are all fellow disciples and should not hold anything against each other. In that case, there is an old outhouse in Xiyuan Town of the Su family that is too dirty, please ask Brother Cai to personally go and clean it up. After you've cleaned up that outhouse, then come talk to me."

  Ning Xiaolei couldn't help but let out a soft laugh: "Hehe!!"

  Cai Mao's face changed color, a thread of anger surged up in his heart, pointing at Su Han: "You!!"

  Su said coldly, "What are you? Brother Cai, I am an Array Master, making a living by setting up arrays. It's only natural that I ask for the Array Spirit Stone in return. I've heard that when disciples from various peaks go to Gu Dan Peak to ask for elixirs, they also have to pay the elixir refinement fee. Why is it that when you come to me, you want me to set up an array for free? Is there such logic in this world? Brother Cai, you actually don't even understand this much, it's truly disappointing, and a waste of all those books you've read. If there's nothing else, please leave, I don't welcome you here."

  Cai Mao's handsome face turned bright red from Su Han's scolding, his eyes revealing an unprecedented anger. From young to old, he was always the favored son of heaven, and it was the first time someone dared to scold him like this. For a moment, he couldn't find any reason to refute Su Han.

  Su Han scolded Cai Mao, then turned to look at Dong Ziyu and calmly gave the order to leave: "Dong Shijie, if you also don't want to prepare the spirit stone, then please go back too."

  Su Han's cultivation of the Nine Heavens True Water Technique and the Great Wisdom Sutra were both rare and extraordinary skills that were hard to find in the world. Moreover, he had cultivated three dantians, which required far more resources than others. He must seize every opportunity to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources.

  Ning Xiaolei saw Su Han being equally ruthless towards Dong Zijin, and a hint of delight flashed deep in her eyes.

  Dong Zizhen didn't hesitate and asked directly: "How many spirit stones do you want before you're willing to take action?"

  Su Han smiled lightly and said: "Eighty pieces of spirit stone."

  "Eighty pieces of spirit stone!! He actually dares to speak up."

  "It's so expensive, it actually costs eighty spirit stones."

  “……”

  A burst of exclamations immediately came from the side. A piece of spiritual stone, if exchanged for silver, would require 10 million taels of silver to buy a small piece. Eighty pieces of spiritual stones were equivalent to 800 million taels of silver. This enormous wealth was enough to buy a small city.

  Upon hearing Su Han's price, many of the disciples in Yun Hua Peak who had originally planned to ask him to set up an array for them gave up on that idea. Eighty pieces of spirit stone was not a wealth that just anyone could produce.

  "Dong Zizhen said lightly: 'Alright! I'll prepare the spirit stone. Please take action when the time comes.'"

  Dong Zizhen was a martial arts genius, and she had been paying attention to Su Han's array. She clearly sensed that the moment the Yuanyuan Array was formed, the heavenly spiritual energy it attracted was extremely pure. If she could utilize that power to impact her congenital foundation, she would have a 100% chance of advancing to become a pre-heavenly strong practitioner and establish the most stable foundation. Eighty pieces of spirit stones were not a small amount for her either, but for martial arts, she was still willing to pay such a price.

  Su Han smiled: "Good!"

  Having obtained Su Han's promise, Dong Ziyu immediately turned around and walked out with a hint of fragrance, without any hesitation.

  Cai Mao glared at Su Han fiercely, dropped a sentence of rhetoric, and immediately led several dead parties to leave here: "Hmph!! Su Han, you're on your own!!"

  Ning Xiaolei brought a whiff of fragrance, smiling and sitting beside Su Han: "Su Han, I don't know how many men in our sect have tried to win over Dong Shijie with all their might, using every trick in the book. And yet you ask her for spirit stones? What a waste of a good opportunity. Eighty pieces of spirit stone are really too expensive."

  Su Han smiled slightly and said, "Eighty pieces of spirit stone is not expensive. I've already checked, the top-level array masters set up an array once, the fee for serving is over two hundred pieces of spirit stone. Eighty pieces of spirit stone, I'm already giving her a big discount because she's a fellow disciple."

  The Array Master profession is either not open for business or opens once and eats for a lifetime. Basically, all the major sects that come to ask the Array Master to set up arrays are willing to pay a high price to make their own nests as stable as Mount Tai, so they are very willing to spend money. However, it is precisely because the Array Master's prices are too high that not all sects can afford to set up a protective mountain array.

  Ning Xiaolei gave Su Han a cold glance: "That's the price of a top-level array master. Moreover, when they set up an array, it usually takes several years to complete, how can you be so casual and earn 80 spirit stones in just one hour?"

  A top-ranked formation master would need to observe the air and terrain, command a group of people to alter the landscape, and spend at least several years setting up a protective mountain array. Those 200 pieces of spirit stones weren't earned easily.

  Su Han said calmly, "She won't lose. This Gathering Origin Array can help her increase the probability of breaking through the First Heaven Secret Realm by more than 50%, and it can also help her establish a solid foundation. It will have an immeasurable great impact on her future martial arts cultivation."

  As a top-level formation master, Su Han was very clear about the power and wonder of his own Yuan Gathering Formation.

  Ning Xiaolei's heart stirred slightly at the words, thinking about breaking through to the Innate Realm. That was something that even top masters of the Profound Sky Sect thought about day and night. If a master of the Profound Sky Sect could become an Innate master, it would be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate - their power and status would undergo a complete transformation.

  An ordinary Grandmaster in the presence of the Emperor of the Great Flame Empire is still just an ordinary running dog, but once they are promoted to a Pre-Heavenly Grandmaster, even the Emperor of the Great Flame Empire must show three points of courtesy and respect.

  Among the nine major martial arts holy lands, there are not many masters with high attainments. Except for the top 30 geniuses on the Innate Hidden Dragon List who have a high probability of advancing to the Innate realm, it is very difficult for other masters to break through the bottleneck and become an Innate master. The probability of upgrading and impacting the Innate Secret Realm by more than 50% is enough to drive countless martial arts strongmen crazy.

  Ning Xiaolei's lovely face broke into a sweet smile as she said softly, "Su Han, when I charge into the Xiantian Secret Realm, can you help me set up a Gathering Origin Array?"

  Su Han smiled slightly: "Materials are self-provided, array setup fee is eighty pieces of spirit stone!"

  Ning Xiaolei's face suddenly turned dark.
