Chapter 257

Compared to the time wasted, spending a little more money is nothing; besides, being the first to step forward and make a purchase will surely leave a good impression on Song Yushao and Liu Youzhen.

These are inner sect disciples, whom one rarely sees in daily life; being able to build a connection with them will be of no small use for entering the inner sect in the future.

"Junior Brother has great spirit, I think highly of you. Once this is over, reaching Minor Success in Gang Qi will be a certainty."

Song Yushao beamed with joy and immediately took the elixir to hand to Yun Feng.

"I accept Senior Brother Song's kind words."

Spending four hundred and fifty silver taels all at once, Yun Feng didn't even blink.

With Song Yushao's kind praise, he felt that spending even more would be worth it.

Luo Jiang, Shen Liang, and the others also rose one after another to make purchases; by using the Earth Vein Spiritual Fire to temper their physical bodies and Gang Qi, they could then attempt to break through to Minor Success in Gang Qi.

Being extorted is nothing; if this opportunity is missed, there will be no such treasure land again.

"Buy it!"

Xu Yang also intended to buy the Pulse-Protecting Pill and the Ice Spirit Pill; even if he were to be fleeced like a pig, he would just have to accept it.

In martial arts cultivation, more often than not, you cannot buy cultivation resources even if you have money. The Earth Vein Spiritual Fire is so effective that he cannot waste time just for the sake of a little silver.

However, he did not buy as many as Yun Feng and the others; he only bought five of each, the Pulse-Protecting Pill and the Ice Spirit Pill, to test the effects first.

"Junior Brother Xu, how is buying only five enough?"

Song Yushao squinted his eyes, his tone somewhat dissatisfied; if he bought too little, how could they make money?

"I'm afraid he's short on cash," Yun Feng said sarcastically.

Among everyone, only he knew that Xu Yang was a mud-legged peasant who scraped a living from the earth; that he could produce over two hundred silver taels was already beyond his expectations.

"No matter, if you don't have silver, you can also use contribution points." Song Yushao did not yet know that Yun Feng was implying something.

Xu Yang shook his head and said, "I will buy these for now; I will come to find Senior Brother to buy more after I use them up."

Once these words were spoken, Song Yushao's expression improved.

"If you have no money, you have no money; why put on an act here?" Yun Feng said.

He acted like a grandson in front of Song Yushao and Liu Youzhen, but facing Xu Yang, he was the Young Master of the Yun family. He said, "Give your forging platform to me, and I will give you one hundred taels."

He was not short on money; what he lacked was a position close to the tower platform.

It was just that Gao Lin had forbidden them from starting any more disputes, so he did not dare to use his status to suppress others and snatch Xu Yang's position.

Luo Jiang's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to say, "Sell it to me, I'll offer two hundred taels."

In an instant, Xu Yang had no reaction, but Yun Feng's expression became extremely ugly.

He had money, but among those who could come here, how many were poor?

"You have the nerve to open your mouths with one or two hundred? I offer five hundred taels," a person named Zhao Lv said.

Truly extravagant.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Sorry, not for sale."

Zhao Lv did not mind and looked at the others occupying the six forging platforms, saying: "Five hundred taels, who is willing to sell? If the price is not satisfactory, we can talk."

All of a sudden, Yun Feng, who wanted to spend money to buy Xu Yang's forging platform, became a joke, because the little money he offered was not even worth mentioning compared to the extravagant Zhao Lv; he didn't even have the courage to raise his bid.

In the end, there really was someone who sold his position to Zhao Lv for eight hundred taels.

Xu Yang did not force out the fire poison by circulating his Qi himself, so he did not know if it was difficult, but after taking the Ice Spirit Pill and coordinating it with his Gang Qi, in less than a quarter of an hour, the black fire poison in his dantian and meridians melted away like ice and snow, disappearing without a trace.

After swallowing the Pulse-Protecting Pill, he returned to the stone room.

This time, he was able to persist for longer; after an hour had passed, there was not much fire poison in his meridians and dantian.

When it was lunchtime, there was no food to eat at all; Liu Youzhen and Song Yushao only distributed some dried meat, flatbread, and water to everyone.

No one dared to complain; they swallowed the food whole and threw themselves back into the work of refining ore.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening; Song Yushao and Liu Youzhen distributed rooms to everyone again, four people to a room, and Xu Yang was assigned together with Chen Chao, Luo Lin, and Shen Liang.

From then on, everyone settled down in the valley, working like oxen and horses day and night, not to mention paying out of their own pockets to buy elixirs to extend their working hours.

Even though Xu Yang possessed nearly two thousand silver taels, he felt it was somewhat unbearable.

The Pulse-Protecting Pill was one per day, but the most expensive Ice Spirit Pill required at least three per day to be enough, adding up to over one hundred taels per day.

In just over ten days, more than one thousand silver taels had entered the pockets of Song Yushao and Liu Youzhen.

【Diamond Body Technique · Entry (1923/2000)】

The result was also gratifying; in at most two days, the Diamond Body Technique would reach Minor Success.

At this moment, the Gang Qi within his body was infinitely approaching white, and the strength of his physical body was significantly stronger than when he first arrived; in the places covered by his clothes, his muscles were like cast iron, containing explosive power.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a scream rang out in the stone room. Xu Yang turned his head to look and saw a person named Zhu Yong fall to the ground, convulsing all over, black smoke spewing from his mouth and nose, his face turning black.

"He's been poisoned by fire!" Wen Hao said: "Leave here quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yong endured the intense pain to stand up and struggled to walk out of the stone room.

Xu Yang shook his head secretly; this person named Zhu Yong must have been short on cash, and after the first few days, he had no money to buy Pulse-Protecting Pills and Ice Spirit Pills, relying entirely on his Gang Qi to endure.

The fire poison had not been forced out many times, and today it must have erupted.
