My establishment never allows credit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or, bring me natural treasures that interest me, and I will exchange them for the elixirs you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even elixirs that directly raise one's cultivation base to the Soul Transformation realm are available here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the spiritual herbs required to refine such elixirs are not only numerous in variety but also extremely valuable, so their prices are far higher than ordinary elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One Medium Spirit Elixir costs 3,000 medium-grade spirit stones and can increase the spiritual power of a single-attribute spiritual root cultivator at the Purple Mansion realm by three years of meditation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, my mysterious shop is currently buying the corpses of the Green Demon Clan from the outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is currently at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Tian currently has less than three hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones, far from enough to purchase the elixirs he needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the prices of these elixirs are not cheap. How many do you wish to purchase?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To raise his cultivation base to the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, he would need at least around 500 Purple Luo Elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have no spirit stones, you can hunt the corpses of the Green Demon Clan and exchange them with me for elixirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan's eyes flickered. After pondering for a moment, he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One Purple Luo Elixir costs 15,000 medium-grade spirit stones and can increase the spiritual power of a single-attribute spiritual root cultivator at the Purple Mansion realm by ten years of meditation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Luo Tian wanted to buy on credit, Ye Qingxuan smiled strangely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although such elixirs that directly raise cultivation bases have already been abandoned by the major powers of the Earth Profound Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxuan's initial words, Luo Tian's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the prices of the elixirs Ye Qingxuan mentioned, Luo Tian gave an awkward smile and tentatively asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, could you let me have them on credit first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing the rest, Luo Tian instinctively touched his storage bag and asked somewhat awkwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, may I ask what the prices are for the Purple Luo Elixir and the Medium Spirit Elixir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Luo Tian awkwardly scratched his head, yet stubbornly refused to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a cultivator with a single-attribute spiritual root, under normal circumstances, reaching the peak of the Qi Refining realm would already be considered great fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, to use elixirs to raise his cultivation base to the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, he would need at least seven and a half million medium-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of his speech, Ye Qingxuan looked at Luo Tian with deep meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling Ye Qingxuan's gaze, Luo Tian instinctively shrank his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard and said awkwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior is joking. Where would I have any natural treasures?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go hunt the Green Demon Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But with my current cultivation base, isn't hunting the Green Demon Clan like walking into the kitchen to offer myself as a dish? Senior is so wise and mighty; how can you bear to let me go to my death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Qingxuan seemed easy to talk to, Luo Tian also relaxed and began to flatter him, trying to get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Luo Tian climb up the pole, Ye Qingxuan said playfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have nothing, and I give you credit, what will you use to repay me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, I will slaughter the Green Demon Clan effortlessly. At that time, I can repay the senior's elixirs double.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When saying the word \"double,\" Luo Tian's tone clearly intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to want to sway Ye Qingxuan with the promise of doubled benefits in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Luo Tian's words, Ye Qingxuan stared blankly at Luo Tian's face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boy, your face is indeed thick enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan had been in the Earth Profound Realm for so long, yet this was the first time he had met someone so skilled at painting big pies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxuan's praise, Luo Tian smiled shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he was just speaking according to the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered a senior who was hard to get along with, he would not dare to speak like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he have survived until now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Luo Tian's proposal, Ye Qingxuan did not immediately reject it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to giving credit, he had a better method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calculating for a moment in his mind, Ye Qingxuan slowly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Credit? I will never give credit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Tian look somewhat disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan no longer played games; he changed the subject and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I can lend you spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lend me spirit stones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Luo Tian simply could not believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this was far better than borrowing on credit, and he thought to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This mysterious senior is truly a good person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan did not yet know that Luo Tian had already given him the \"good person card\" in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when he scammed Luo Tian, he might have scammed him a little less severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Tian's reaction, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. I will lend you spirit stones, but I will charge interest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is only fair, that is only fair. I am willing to give the senior double interest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the elixir was within reach, Luo Tian waved his hand carelessly and agreed magnanimously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan glanced at the already oblivious Luo Tian and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not want double interest from you. I only want five percent monthly interest. How about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, what is monthly interest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monthly interest is simply another way of saying interest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I see? So only five percent interest? Will this not be a loss for the senior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Luo Tian worried that Ye Qingxuan would suffer a loss, so he hesitated somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Tian worry about his loss, Ye Qingxuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No loss, no loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, since I am lending you spirit stones, you must provide something as collateral, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke these words, a sharp light flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Qingxuan wanted collateral, Luo Tian became awkward and, after a long while, said with a flushed face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, I have nothing to offer as collateral. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have nothing to offer as collateral, you can offer yourself as collateral.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Offer myself as collateral?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan looked at Luo Tian with a deep gaze and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can lend you ten million high-grade spirit stones to support your cultivation, charging only five percent monthly interest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The loan term is one hundred years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After one hundred years, if you do not have enough spirit stones to repay me, for every ten million high-grade spirit stones you owe, you must serve me for one thousand years. How does that sound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although elixirs can directly increase cultivation base, they still require a process of refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if cultivation base were increased instantly, would it not cause the cultivator to explode immediately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the grade of the elixir, the longer the time required for refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within one hundred years, it is impossible for Luo Tian to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Luo Tian's attachment to his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan did not believe Luo Tian would hunt down enough Green Demon Clan members within a hundred years to repay the principal of ten million high-grade spirit stones, plus the five percent monthly interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehehe, this Luo Tian, he is definitely done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see exactly how Luo Tian would manage to ignore the side effects of instantly increasing his cultivation base through elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One thousand years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Tian clicked his tongue, thinking to himself: It is not that long, after all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he agreed directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Let us sign the contract now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Tian agree, Ye Qingxuan immediately pressed his advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drafted the contract on the spot and signed it while Luo Tian was still bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was not all; Ye Qingxuan then made Luo Tian swear a Dao Oath according to the contents of the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The binding force of a contract is limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once a Dao Oath is sworn, this Luo Tian will have no way to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, seeing how enthusiastic Ye Qingxuan was, Luo Tian had some doubts in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Ye Qingxuan took out ten million high-grade spirit stones and piled them in the main hall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>thinking that at most it was just one thousand years, and even if he could not repay the spirit stones, serving Ye Qingxuan for a thousand years would not be a loss,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Tian hesitated not at all and eagerly swore the Dao Oath immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo Tian did not realize that Ye Qingxuan had said that for every ten million high-grade spirit stones owed, one must serve for one thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the five percent monthly interest rate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the interest on ten million high-grade spirit stones over one hundred years would be sixty times ten million high-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after one hundred years, if he could not repay this debt of spirit stones, he would have to serve Ye Qingxuan for sixty-one thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1742,"2026-06-12T14:27:00.743Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","d8068629fd17ec24f5b7678638d638a44da470d479eebf6519acb49ff3d6a5cb","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-226","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-224",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
