One hundred jin of "Stardust Spirit Sand".
One hundred jin, converted to taels, equals one thousand taels.
Each tael of "Stardust Spirit Sand" is worth one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
One hundred jin of "Stardust Spirit Sand" is not a small amount, it is an entire "small target"!
What an immense fortune this is!
Li Xiaoyao was utterly flabbergasted, his entire body trembling slightly.
"Senior, I..."
Hao Ren was growing impatient.
"Just take it if I tell you to!"
The senior's command could not be disobeyed!
Li Xiaoyao suppressed his unease, his hands trembling as he formed a hand seal, digging out a large chunk from the mountain of "Stardust Spirit Sand".
Looking at the pile of "Stardust Spirit Sand", Li Xiaoyao's heart pounded with excitement.
"Senior..."
Li Xiaoyao called out softly.
He did not understand what Hao Ren intended to do.
A sharp glint flashed in Hao Ren's eyes.
"Stardust Spirit Sand" was an extremely rare treasure, rumored to be able to refine "postnatal spirit treasures". The actual effect, however, remained to be tested.
Hao Ren opened the storage bag at his waist and, with a sword art, summoned forth the "Azure Origin Immortal Sword".
"Go!"
Hao Ren pointed, and the "Azure Origin Immortal Sword" shot through the air.
Swish!
The sword light flashed, sharp and unparalleled!
In the next second, the "Azure Origin Immortal Sword" hovered before Li Xiaoyao.
"Refine it!"
Hao Ren's calm voice drifted from the cave.
What?
Li Xiaoyao was utterly terrified!
His face was filled with disbelief; he thought he must have misheard.
This was a joke!
The "Azure Origin Immortal Sword" before him exuded an aura of immense power, that of a postnatal spirit treasure.
This was a genuine "postnatal spirit treasure"!
A legendary "supreme treasure"!
How could the senior possibly gift the "Azure Origin Immortal Sword" to him?
"Senior, this, I, it's too precious. The Azure Origin Immortal Sword is a postnatal spirit treasure, far too valuable. I, I dare not accept it!"
Due to his overwhelming excitement, Li Xiaoyao's words became jumbled and incoherent.
Hao Ren's calm and indifferent voice slowly echoed from the cave.
"It's nothing! Just a postnatal spirit treasure, not worth mentioning!"
Upon hearing this, the "coolness factor" peaked!
Everyone present was filled with admiration for Hao Ren!
Truly worthy of being called a senior!
So "wealthy and powerful"!
A "postnatal spirit treasure" was considered insignificant in his eyes, so "rich"!
But then again, thinking about it, when the senior had "appeared" earlier, he was surrounded by three hundred "Azure Origin Immortal Swords"... three hundred of them!
To others, a "postnatal spirit treasure" was a "supreme treasure" that could stabilize a sect's destiny. For the senior, it was indeed nothing.
The senior is amazing!
The senior is formidable!
The senior is awesome!
...
Li Xiaoyao still hesitated to accept.
"Senior, I cannot accept favors without reason. I have already received so much care from you; I cannot accept such a precious postnatal spirit treasure anymore!"
This fellow truly had good character!
Hao Ren chuckled.
He could observe Li Xiaoyao's "inner thoughts" through the "friend dynamics".
Li Xiaoyao was not lying; he genuinely felt that the senior had already given him enough and he could not possibly accept more benefits.
Good, good, what excellent character!
Initially, Hao Ren had simply chosen someone at random.
Li Xiaoyao, with his decent sword cultivation talent, was chosen by Hao Ren.
He had not expected that his character would be even more outstanding than his talent.
Hao Ren was extremely pleased with this.
His tone softened slightly.
"Stop refusing. I didn't say I was giving you the Azure Origin Immortal Sword. It's a *rental*, a *loan*, and there's a daily rental fee!"
Ah?
Rental?
Daily rental fee?
Everyone present was stunned.
What kind of "divine operation" was this?
"Postnatal spirit treasures" could also be rented?
The price must be outrageously expensive!
"Sen, Senior..."
Li Xiaoyao's face showed difficulty, and he stammered, asking.
"May I know how much rent you intend to charge?"
Li Xiaoyao absolutely dared not "haggle" with the senior. Helplessly, his pockets were truly shallow.
As a "rogue cultivator", money was his greatest "weakness".
If the rent was too high, he truly could not afford to rent it!
Hao Ren understood Li Xiaoyao's thoughts and felt a sense of helplessness.
Damn it!
I don't want to do this either, but what choice do I have? I'm too short on cash!
Regardless of anything else, "Wangcai Little Blood Dragon" and "Laifu Little Blood Dragon", these two little brats, each demanded a thousand low-grade spirit stones in "salary" daily.
In the past, when Hao Ren was still wealthy and generous, a thousand low-grade spirit stones was "a drop in the bucket," negligible!
But now, I'm sorry, Hao Ren really had to find a way to "generate income"!
"Cough cough..."
Hao Ren coughed lightly and slowly spoke.
"One Azure Origin Immortal Sword, the daily rental fee is one thousand low-grade, cough cough, eight hundred, eight hundred low-grade spirit stones!"
Originally, Hao Ren had intended to price it at "one thousand low-grade spirit stones" to cover the "salary" for the two "little blood dragons".
But then he thought, forget it!
Low profit, high turnover!
A bit cheaper, and I can "rent" out more.
After all, Hao Ren's "treasury" had plenty of "Azure Origin Immortal Swords", if nothing else.
He could "rent" them out freely!
A rental fee of "eight hundred low-grade spirit stones"?
Everyone present widened their eyes, their expressions filled with disbelief.
The entire scene fell silent!
No one spoke!
Even their breathing hitched.
This...
This is a bit awkward!
Hao Ren's mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, he noticed that the "friend dynamics" were blank.
Uh...
Everyone was in a state of shock, their minds blank!
No way!
These guys, are they still finding it expensive?
Hao Ren muttered to himself.
Perhaps I should lower the price again, to five hundred low-grade spirit stones?
He could at least offer six thousand "Azure Origin Immortal Swords" for "rent".
Each sword at five hundred low-grade spirit stones per day.
Then, the daily net income would be three million low-grade spirit stones.
Not a lot, but not a little either.
Hmm, this could work!
Just as Hao Ren was about to voluntarily "lower the price".
Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao snapped back to reality, his eyes bursting with brilliance as he shouted.
"Senior, that's not right! An item like a postnatal spirit treasure, with a daily rental fee of only eight hundred low-grade spirit stones, is too much! No, I cannot accept this!"
Li Xiaoyao waved his fists and shouted excitedly.
"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, the daily rental fee must be at least one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones is still too little!
That's a "postnatal spirit treasure," a "supreme treasure" that can stabilize a sect's destiny.
Let alone one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, even a "small target" might not be enough to "borrow it once".
The senior is too good to us!
He offered such an incredibly low price of "eight hundred low-grade spirit stones", what's the difference between that and "giving it away for free"?
No!
The senior will suffer too much if he does this; we cannot be so unjust!
Increase the price!
We must increase the price!
Li Xiaoyao voluntarily raised the "rental price" to "one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones"!
