Chapter 2146 No Credit

“The nourishing spirit spring was originally discovered by me, what does it have to do with you? What right do you have to use it to bargain with me?”

Ye Bufan smiled coldly, his eyes full of mockery. This guy was truly full of himself.

Then he flipped his wrist, and a small jade bottle appeared in his palm: “I have plenty of Beast Saliva Pills here, but you are neither part of my team nor my friend, so why should I give them to you?”

“You…”

Zhao Mingzhen was so angry his eyes shot fire, and his Killing Intent suddenly erupted as he prepared to act.

Although he had sustained some injuries before, they were all superficial and did not affect his combat strength.

“You want to fight, do you?”

Ye Bufan said, fiddling with the small jade bottle in his hand, “I really don't know who gave you the courage to think you have me cornered.

Even if your cultivation is above mine, how can you be so sure that I won't have a chance to destroy these Medicinal Pills before we fight?

Or what if I just escape into the rat swarm? Do you dare to follow?”

“This…”

These words immediately poured over him like a bucket of cold water, making Zhao Mingzhen much calmer.

He was confident that his strength was superior to the other party's, but the Medicinal Pills were in the other party's hands. What if they were really destroyed?

They had just experienced the power of the rat swarm. If they didn't have this kind of Medicinal Pill for protection, they would undoubtedly become rat droppings.

As Cultivators, they would face death at any time, but dying like this would be too humiliating.

Even more nervous was Xiahou Ting. He had previously fought with Ye Bufan and knew his capabilities. He didn't believe Zhao Mingzhen had the ability to instantly subdue the other party.

Once the Beast Saliva Pills were truly destroyed, then all of them would be finished.

Because of this, he quickly stepped forward and said, “Senior Brother Zhao, don't be anxious, let's talk this over.”

Du Chong was also like this. Although he wished Zhao Mingzhen would immediately kill Ye Bufan, the premise was to save his own life.

He followed up, saying, “That's right, let's talk about everything after we deal with these rats.”

Zhao Mingzhen naturally understood the logic. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a gloomy expression, “Speak, how will you hand over the Medicinal Pills to us?”

“It's very simple, buy them with money!”

Ye Bufan said playfully, “I have no relationship with you, nor am I your friend. If you want Medicinal Pills from me, you naturally have to buy them with money.”

A hint of disdain flashed in Zhao Mingzhen's eyes: “Speak, how much money do you want?

much money?”

Ye Bufan fiddled with the small jade bottle in his hand: “Not too much, three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones per pill.”

He neither wanted the other party to die, nor did he want to give the Medicinal Pills to the other party for free. This price was carefully calculated.

He had previously snatched ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones from Xiahou Ting and the others. Based on this number, as core disciples of the Three Great Sects, Zhao Mingzhen and his four companions should also have a similar amount of High-Grade Spirit Stones.

“What, three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones per pill? Why don't you just rob us?”

Zhao Mingzhen was instantly enraged. Three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones converted to gold coins would be a full thirty billion. The other party was clearly making an exorbitant demand.

Ye Bufan, however, said indifferently and playfully, “A price isn't extortion. I'm clearly marking my prices. Do you want to buy or not?

And I'll say this now, this price is only valid for one quarter of an hour. After one quarter of an hour, I'll be leaving here, and you won't be able to buy them even if you want to.”

“You…”

Zhao Mingzhen was almost driven mad. The four of them combined indeed had over ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

But this was all their worldly possessions, and it pained him terribly to hand it all over at once.

“I already said, buy it or don't. No need to get angry.”

Ye Bufan said with a chuckle, “Do you know what the greatest tragedy in life is? It's dying with money you haven't spent.

So I advise you not to be stingy. If you really end up as rat food, no matter how many Spirit Stones you leave behind, they'll be useless.”

Jiang Fangzhou, who was nearby, said, “Ye Dage, do you think we should come back later to pick up the Storage Rings? Maybe we can pick up over ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones?”

“That's right, that's a good idea, it even saves us the Medicinal Pills! Why did I agree just now? I was too hasty!”

Ye Bufan slapped his thigh: “Since that's the case, we won't even wait a quarter of an hour. Let's go now.”

Saying that, he stood up from the stone, ready to lead everyone away.

“Wait a moment.”

Du Chong quickly called out to him, then urgently sent a voice transmission to Zhao Mingzhen.

“Senior Brother Zhao, don't let him leave! Even if the Spirit Stones are with him, we can get them back once these rats retreat.

But once he takes the Medicinal Pills, we'll be in trouble. We might really turn into rat droppings.”

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Mingzhen's eyes. It was indeed true; once the rats retreated, he could just snatch them back, and also get all the nourishing spirit springs.

springs into his hands.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said coldly, “Alright, I'll buy them.”

Ye Bufan turned back and smiled: “Alright then, picking up Storage Rings also carries a bit of risk. What if a rat swallows one? I'd be at a huge loss.”

Saying that, he shook the small jade bottle in his hand: “How many do you want?”

Zhao Mingzhen snorted coldly, gathered the Storage Rings of the four people from Shenjian Villa, and barely managed to collect twelve thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Ye Bufan put away the Spirit Stones, then tapped the small jade bottle with his hand, and four Medicinal Pills flew over.

Zhao Mingzhen took them, distributed them to the four people from Shenjian Villa, and they all crushed them and sprinkled them on themselves, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Garina and the other two walked over, somewhat awkwardly saying, “Senior Brother Ye, we also want this kind of Medicinal Pill, but we don't have that many Spirit Stones.”

Hai Chenggong stood behind them without speaking, afraid that Ye Bufan would settle old scores with him at this time.

Ye Bufan waved his hand: “It's fine, everyone here has participated in the ranking competition, so we're half-friends. I'll give you a discount, just one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones per person.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ye.”

Garina had originally worried that the other party would make an exorbitant demand. Seeing that he only charged one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, she immediately smiled brightly and took them out.

Hai Chenggong and Shao Feng also didn't hesitate, likewise offering one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and Ye Bufan took out three Medicinal Pills and handed them over.

Seeing all of this, Zhao Mingzhen's expression grew even more gloomy, his eyes full of Killing Intent.

This guy was giving them away for free one moment, and then offering discounts to others, yet he took twelve thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones from him. It was clear he was targeting him.

Seeing that everyone else had received Beast Saliva Pills, Xiahou Ting could no longer hold back. He bit the bullet and stepped forward, saying, “Senior Brother Ye, you know our situation. We don't have any Spirit Stones on hand right now.

How about this, we'll owe you for now, and pay you back after we leave the Tianluo Secret Realm. Once we're back at the Sect, we can even give you more.”

This guy spoke very sincerely, but his thoughts were completely different.

According to his plan, as long as he tricked Ye Bufan into the Lei Yun Sect after they left, not only would he not have to pay the Spirit Stones, but the nourishing spirit spring would also be his.

Ye Bufan looked at him intently: “Sorry, small business, no credit.”
