Elder Ge's expression instantly darkened, "Feng Xi, don't go too far!"
Feng Xi curved her lips, "Elder Ge, if I gave you one hundred million spirit stones to destroy your dantian, would you agree?
Anyone here right now, would you agree?"
In an instant, the entire place went silent.
Not to mention one hundred million, even if it was ten billion, nobody would agree.
The dantian is the foundation of cultivation. Without the dantian, what's the difference between that and being dead?!
Feng Xi gave a bitter smile, "Since no one is willing, then how am I asking for too much?
I am already a cripple. From now on, if I want to survive, I must rely on a sect's protection.
So, from this one hundred million, I plan to submit fifty million to Xuantian Sect."
Elder Ge drew in a deep breath, "Feng Xi, the most is ten thousand spirit stones. Otherwise, the sect will not approve your request to leave."
Xiao Baidao instantly stood up, "Are you threatening my personal disciple? You truly don't place me in your eyes!
If you don't want to pay, that's also fine. I happen to know the artifact forging master He Wanqian. As long as the Recording Stone isn't shattered into dust, he can extract the images inside.
When the truth is revealed, everyone will see clearly!"
Everyone: "..."
Just now, didn't you try every way to avoid accepting Feng Xi as an outer disciple?
How did she suddenly become your personal disciple?
It's not for that fifty million spirit stones, right?
You really are open-minded when it comes to money!
The key issue is that Hunyuan Sect would never agree!!
Elder Ge glanced at Baili Muchen, then gritted his teeth,
"Feng Xi, three hundred thousand spirit stones. Agree if you do, if not, then forget about it."
Feng Xi knew this was already Hunyuan Sect's bottom line. If Xiao Baidao hadn't intervened, she wouldn't have gotten even ten thousand.
Seeing Xiao Baidao give the faintest approving nod, she sighed,
"Fine then. Three hundred thousand is three hundred thousand. You'll owe me the rest first, I'll collect it later."
Then, without hesitation, she bent down and scooped up the five hundred spirit stones on the ground,
"These are separate, they can't be counted in the three hundred thousand."
Elder Ge: "..."
Then, he heard Feng Xi spoke again, "Just give the spirit stones to my master. Possessing something valuable invites trouble, it's not safe with me."
Xiao Baidao was extremely satisfied. This disciple may have been taken in hastily, but she's truly sensible!
He looked quite pleased. Baili Muchen, on the other hand, looked like he was about to puke blood.
He had a hundred ways to kill Feng Xi, but he… needed to save face.
Before everyone's eyes, if the Sect Master of Hunyuan Sect were to argue with a menial disciple, it would be too disgraceful.
More importantly, Xiao Baidao valued spirit stones more than seeing his own father. If he didn't pay, this matter would never end.
And he could also tell that Wan Jian Sect and Beast-Taming Sect were just waiting for him and Xiao Baidao to start fighting so they could profit. There's no need to fall into their trap.
Moreover, today was Shen Zhilan's disciple-acceptance ceremony, there's no point wasting more time on this matter.
Those three hundred thousand spirit stones could be earned back from Xuantian Sect sooner or later.
In the end, the sheep's wool comes from the sheep!
Just then, Elder Dong, who was responsible for the ceremony, spoke, "Sect Master, the auspicious hour has arrived!"
Baili Muchen steadied his mood, "Begin."
The ceremony for accepting a personal disciple was extremely elaborate. After a long series of rituals, Shen Zhilan walked forward with a perfectly measured gentle smile.
She suddenly caught sight of Feng Xi standing behind Xiao Baidao and paused slightly.
Why was Feng Xi behind Sect Master Xiao?
However, she quickly calmed herself. A useless trash who had lost her value was not worth her attention. Someone would naturally handle her.
Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that the looks people were giving her were off.
Especially those from Hunyuan Sect, there wasn't a trace of joy on their faces.
Anyone who didn't know better would think this was a funeral instead of her disciple-acceptance ceremony.
When the ceremony concluded, the various sect representatives bid farewell.
Outside the mountain gate of Hunyuan Sect, Hu Wankui of Beast-Taming Sect and Lu Zhenkuan of Wan Jian Sect summoned flying boats and departed with their disciples.
Feng Xi looked expectantly at Xiao Baidao, waiting for him to summon his flying boat. Instead, Xiao Baidao summoned a flying sword, grabbed Feng Xi by her collar and biu, shot into the air.
Feng Xi: "..."
Only now did she realize that Xiao Baidao had come alone. There wasn't even a single attendant.
She tried to speak, but the moment she opened her mouth, the wind turned her voice into a howling trumpet.
Master, please, when you ride your sword, could you at least cast the Wind Shield Technique?!
Aren't you uncomfortable being blasted by the wind?!
Her dantian was damaged and her body severely weakened, the cold wind made her pale face even whiter.
Only then did Xiao Baidao suddenly remember to cast the Wind Shield.
When Hunyuan Sect had completely disappeared behind them, Feng Xi finally exhaled.
The situation had proceeded exactly as she planned, she simply hadn't expected Xiao Baidao to actually grant her the status of personal disciple.
It seemed Xuantian Sect was even poorer than she had assumed!
Yes, she had planned everything.
Whether it was acting pitiful, playing foolish, or asking for spirit stones, it had all been bait meant for Xiao Baidao.
According to the book, Xuantian Sect was utterly poor. How poor were they?
To the point where a single Fasting Pill had to be divided into eight portions to be eaten.
So, as long as she dangled spirit stones, Xiao Baidao would definitely take the bait.
At this moment, Xiao Baidao spoke with a hint of unease, "Disciple, about the three hundred thousand spirit stones Hunyuan Sect compensated you…"
Before he could finish, Feng Xi said, "Master, my aptitude is ordinary, yet you accepted me as a personal disciple. Naturally, there will be gossip within the sect.
So, I intend to submit all three hundred thousand spirit stones to the sect.
This way, no one can say anything bad about you!"
Xiao Baidao had never expected Feng Xi to say this.
He had indeed taken her because of the spirit stones, but at most, he only wanted her to hand over half. He had not intended for her to give all of it.
"There's no need. Fifteen thousand is enough."
Feng Xi shook her head, "Master, only when I give everything can I show my sincerity.
Also, possessing wealth invites trouble. If I keep it, I fear unnecessary misfortune."
Seeing her sincerity, Xiao Baidao also agreed.
After praising Feng Xi for a while, he said, "Disciple, this master has previously taken in five disciples. You are the sixth.
From now on, I will call you Old Six."
Feng Xi: "..."
