Chapter 1046 Chu Xun is short of money!
"It's open!"
"Eh~!"
"It's really open!"
As the tightly closed cave house opened, the group of people waiting outside the door showed joy at the same time. Even the one sitting in the carriage was slightly relieved. It was a bit embarrassing to be rejected for the second time. But Chu Xun was different from others. He had his subordinates to arrange for the others to visit him and find out in advance whether the owner was free.
According to their understanding, Chu Xun had three friends who were like friends living in the cave house. It was more difficult to contact them than to contact his own owner, so he had to bite the bullet and come.
"Please!"
When they saw Chu Xun coming back from outside, they were slightly stunned. The one sitting in the carriage also came out. He was wearing a simple gray robe and plain clothes. His dress was relatively mediocre. In formal occasions, his clothes were generally casual. Moreover, they knew that Chu Xun was indifferent. If he dressed too gorgeously, it would inevitably leave a bad impression.
After entering the cave, he only took a quick glance and sensed that three people in the eighth realm were still practicing in the cave. Qi Baiqi also smiled and said, "It seems that these three are Mr. Chu's friends!"
"They are also elders!" Chu Xun smiled.
Qi Baiqi showed a slight surprise, but still nodded slightly without alarming the three people. He then talked about other topics, saying: "Thank you Mr. Chu for what happened last night. If it weren't for you, the Killing Alliance Hall would not have caused this disaster." After a slight pause, he said: "These external forces combined to form a third-party force, which is really a bit too much!"
"It is already very hard for the monks below to pay a powerful crystal stone every thousand years. These forces have started a second harvest in their respective territories. Not only that, those merchants who open shops in their territories have to pay an additional considerable fee. The most annoying thing is that they are still robbing and killing people in secret!"
"I, Qi Baishi, was the previous city lord. Although I stepped down from the position of city lord, I still have a deep affection for this city. I really couldn't stand it, so I joined forces with the old forces to teach them a lesson. The original intention was to let them restrain themselves. I never thought that Mr. Chu would step forward to accelerate this process. Now that the Killing Alliance Hall has been destroyed, it has given a deep deterrence. I believe they will restrain themselves a lot!"
Chu Xun nodded lightly.
I also know that these are just polite words.
As we chatted about the past in the city, we unknowingly brought up the topic of recruiting. After the Yu family Chamber of Commerce had a response strategy, it was quite simple to respond. As expected, the matter was that Qie Baiqi had no intention of recruiting in depth. All he needed was to register as a guest official and pay 10 million powerful crystals every ten thousand years.
This was already a very high price. You have to know that ordinary ninth realms only save this much money in their lifetime, and they didn't need to do anything to pay such a high price for a guest official for ten thousand years. They still valued Chu Xun very much. But last night, he killed several deputy hall masters in a row, which proved that he was qualified, so it was natural.
After Qie Baiqi left.
The other visitor was Lihuo. His request was similar to that of Qiebai. He also hoped that Chu Xun would be registered as a guest official. He did not care whether Chu Xun had been registered in other forces. The fee he offered was also 10 million great crystal stones. Only these two forces were rich. If it were other forces, it would be very painful.
…
…
So.
This seemingly difficult matter was just evaded. No one from the third party came. Not to mention visiting, some even wanted to kill Chu Xun. The other small forces chose to wait and see. They were not optimistic about such a person who hated evil and had a straight character, especially in this chaotic city.
There were too many dirty things, and even the most upright people could not handle them all. Moreover, if they stood up for those who did not want to do it, they would offend those who could not afford to offend. It was still unclear whether they could survive at that time. They just kept a respectful distance.
The Zuihualou and the teahouses in the city could not help but talk about what happened last night. They were angry at the barbarity and tyranny of those forces, who did not regard human lives as life, and killed a lot of people at any time. They were angry at their behavior, but also a little worried that it would be their turn next night.
At the same time, they also talked about the destruction of the Shimeng Hall, which also caused a lot of waves in the city. As they talked, they turned to Chu Xun. The monks in the city had extremely complicated feelings about this person. From the initial regret that he had wasted his status and talent as a Taoist master in the ninth realm, to his fame in a battle later, and tonight he stood up for the weak.
He brought too many feelings to them. When his name was mentioned, they all felt a little respect for him, and they were also inexplicably curious about which qindao flower queen Wanjiang girl in Zuihualou had what characteristics that could fascinate this Taoist master.
"I'm still a little short of money!" He simply flipped through the "Destruction Sword Art" in the cave. Seeing that it was just a sword book left by the invincible person in the ninth realm, it brought him great inspiration. If he could observe the "Yushanjun Sword Style", how much improvement would it bring? Although he was moved, he still stared at the sword art.
"If I can comprehend it thoroughly, the last move of my own sword moves will also be studied out of the "Thirteen Classics of Sword Dao". Unfortunately, he was not satisfied with the thirteenth move. Even if he could comprehend a prototype, he would often abandon it after a while. He really didn't comprehend the final move that really made him excited and regarded it as a unique skill.
He also had some understanding when flipping through this "Destruction Sword Style", but he also yearned for the legacy of "Yushanjun". However, the 12 billion great crystals required to start were still daunting.
"Where can I get the money?" He thought of the bounty offered by the Yu's Chamber of Commerce. Now was not the time when he first entered the city. He had a clear understanding of the city. Now he knew clearly who should be killed and who was guilty of the heinous crimes. There were few leaders of third-party forces who were clean, including the deputy hall masters who were targets for assassination.
But it was too difficult to assassinate them with the bounty, especially to kill them silently, which required a certain amount of strength. Without the blessing of the will of all living beings last night, he could only be on par with these deputy hall masters at most. It was difficult to kill one, let alone quietly. It was too difficult to collect the bounty.
As for the minions of the third-party forces, although they were easy to kill, they were not interested. It was really too little money, only a few million powerful crystals, and they could not kill too many, otherwise it would attract the attention of the top leaders. Although his cultivation was good, there was still a certain gap compared with the real top ones.
"Lack of money!" Chu Xun sighed, and was somewhat envious of the children of large families who did not have to worry about resources. The more amazing their potential, the greater the investment. On the contrary, outsiders like himself could only rely on themselves.
