Chapter 51: Three Thousand Spirit Stones, the Gold Content of Lady Yunxiao

Feng Ping caught a glimpse of a trace of contemplation appearing on Lu Chen's face.

"Young Master Lu, according to the current market rate, the monthly rent for an outer sect courtyard is fifty-two spirit stones."

She spoke slowly, her tone revealing a bit of meticulousness and rigor.

"If it is for a one-year term, it is six hundred and twenty-four spirit stones, plus the remaining five months."

Feng Ping raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a moving smile, like willow branches gently brushing the lake surface.

"I am willing to pay three thousand spirit stones."

Lu Chen was slightly startled upon hearing this, a burst of surprise surging in his heart.

Three thousand spirit stones were undoubtedly a huge sum for him, enough to alleviate his current predicament.

You must know!

A servant disciple of the Shenxiao Sect receives no more than thirty spirit stones a month, and they have to work hard, making life difficult.

His heart could not help but think of the support from home; the one hundred spirit stones of living expenses his mother prepared for him every month were already extremely generous.

Three thousand spirit stones could indeed pay off a portion of his debts.

Thinking of!

The sixty thousand spirit stones owed by Lu Chen's predecessor, it was somewhat insufficient.

Among them, ten thousand spirit stones were sent from home, and the rest were all borrowed from friends around him.

Lu Chen was even thinking that if it weren't for the fact that there were no such loans in this world, his predecessor would probably have been stripped bare.

Of course!

Even in the cultivation world, there are private lenders, and the interest is high.

One can only say—terrifying!

However, the Shenxiao Sect strictly prohibits such conduct.

But where there is demand, there is a market; many disciples in the inner sect privately engage in lending businesses.

In Lu Chen's memory, he seemed to have borrowed a not-so-small sum from an inner sect senior sister.

Thinking of this!

He could not help but feel a sense of exhaustion, as if feeling that heavy sense of being bound by debt once again.

In his past life, mortgage and car loans were like mountains pressing on his head.

Every month's salary and expenses were like being on the line of life and death.

Even inviting a friend to a meal had to be done carefully.

Not to mention, having money to sing an improper song!

"Truly, a penny can stump a hero!"

Three thousand spirit stones could indeed solve part of his current problems.

At the end of this year.

His family would send him spirit stones as living expenses according to custom, about seven hundred spirit stones, enough for his expenses for half a year; the extra one hundred and some spirit stones were saved by his mother through frugality.

Every time the spirit stones were sent, they were exact; last time it was seven hundred and thirty-four spirit stones.

It just happened not to be eight hundred!

Nor was it seven hundred.

It was seven hundred and thirty-four.

Lu Chen sighed slightly, a bit of complex emotion surging in his heart.

"Parents are the only reliance; the world is all like this."

Some people hope you fall, some people hope you are miserable.

Only parents hope you are healthy and making progress.

However!

For the sixty thousand spirit stones Lu Chen owed, it was still a bit too little.

Feng Ping seemed to see Lu Chen's hesitation.

She said softly:

"Young Master Lu, do not worry."

"I can rent a new place for your cultivation in the outer sect; although it might not be as elegant as a four-person small courtyard, an eight-person courtyard is also spacious and comfortable, and the monthly rent will be paid by me."

Feng Ping's explanation was reasonable.

After all, four-person small courtyards in the outer sect are highly sought after; once a disciple leaves the sect and a vacancy appears, it will be quickly snapped up by other disciples, and a premium is a very normal thing.

Moreover, I heard that the recent market rate is still climbing.

"Of course, if Young Master Lu is interested, you can also choose your own residence, and I will bear all the expenses."

After hearing this, Lu Chen could not help but be slightly startled again.

He had not expected Feng Ping to consider things so meticulously for him, even arranging his accommodation properly.

Such conditions, for him.

Were undoubtedly extremely attractive!

However, a trace of doubt could not help but arise in his heart:

"What exactly is the purpose of this beautiful woman renting this house?"

Lu Chen knew deeply that a concubine in a great family who could stand firm after her husband's death was by no means an ordinary person.

She is not a fool who would do an obviously losing business.

Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked, trying to find the answer on the beautiful woman's face.

On the beautiful woman's pretty face, there was only a gentle look.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry!

It was the other party who came to him to talk about things.

In the cultivation world, any benefit might be accompanied by unknown risks, so he decided to stabilize his position first before slowly exploring Feng Ping's true intention.

He is not a lecher who would lose his composure just by looking at the beautiful woman's beauty.

Decided to stabilize first!

Lu Chen's expression remained calm, not revealing any excited emotions, only caution and scrutiny.

"I ask the Madam to explain the reason clearly; otherwise, I am afraid Lu Chen cannot sublet."

After Feng Ping heard Lu Chen's question, she was slightly surprised, but she quickly returned to calm.

She had already done an investigation!

In the small courtyard, except for one person whose identity is unknown.

The other two.

Xie Wanwan comes from a wealthy family in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, the Xie family, naturally not lacking spirit stones.

Girls mostly like quiet; if she were asked to move out and find an eight-person place, it would probably not be easy.

If she used force, it would definitely not work; the Shenxiao Sect is a true super great sect.

Even the Law Enforcement Hall has three Great True Person.

Among the two, only Lu Chen is left!

This collateral young master of the Luoshui Lu family; the Lu family has gradually declined over the years, and Lu Chen himself also seems to have owed quite a few debts outside.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Lu Chen again.

This Young Master Lu should owe a lot of debts outside; the conditions she offered are absolutely sufficient.

Unexpectedly!

The other party is still quite calm.

Feng Ping thought for a moment and smiled, having a plan in her heart.

"Young Master Lu, do not be overly suspicious; I am doing this not without reason."

Lu Chen did not answer, listening attentively.

"As Young Master Lu's status, you must already know that the Shenxiao Sect's Shangqing Peak is about to reopen the mountain, and Lady Yunxiao is going to select disciples from this outer sect."

Lu Chen nodded.

He had already learned the news from the last banquet.

"To tell you the truth, Young Master, my Yingzhao joined the Shenxiao Sect for this very reason."

"Yingzhao" should be that white-clothed youth.

Lu Chen looked at the room opposite and seemed to understand a little.

So the white-clothed youth opposite is a transfer student!

The Shenxiao Sect outer sect grand competition.

Is a major event that every outer sect disciple looks forward to.

It is not just a contest of strength, but also an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate.

Whether you are a newcomer who has joined for less than a year, or a veteran who has been struggling in the outer sect for many years, as long as you have confidence, you can participate.

However.

Most people choose to wait for six years, accumulating more experience and strength, before sprinting for this grand competition.

Because there is only one opportunity; if you miss it, you may never have a chance with the inner sect.

For outer sect disciples, joining the inner sect is their dream goal; only by becoming an inner sect disciple can they be considered true Shenxiao Sect disciples.

Only the names of inner sect disciples can be recorded in the Shenxiao Sect's "Shenxiao Register."

The higher the name on the register, the higher the status, and the resources that can be mobilized are even more terrifying.

Feng Ping continued:

"Perhaps Young Master does not know what these seven words, 'Shangqing Peak Lady Yunxiao,' mean?"

"Or rather, what joining Lady Yunxiao's sect represents!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

For the first time!

He saw waves in the eyes of this beautiful woman who had always been graceful.

The beautiful woman's expression was somewhat inexplicable, and she said word by word:

"It means, truly being able to!"

"Ascend to heaven in one step."

"It is also the most important matter for the Shenxiao Sect in three thousand years; all the elders of the Shenxiao Sect, even the sect master who has been in seclusion for a thousand years, came out of seclusion ten years early."

"Not to mention the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, even in the three continents, countless disciples are pouring into the Shenxiao Sect."

"To participate in the grand event!"
