However, once you obtain the precious spirit grass of the Giant Spirit Tree, it’s not worth a mere hundred thousand spirit stones. It’s worth at least hundreds of thousands.
A lower-grade Life Extensions Pill, for instance, typically starts at a hundred thousand spirit stones on the auction market. But that doesn’t mean it’s only worth that. The final transaction price can be over five hundred thousand spirit stones.
If it’s a medium grade Life Extensions Pill, or even a higher-grade one, the value can reach millions of spirit stones. After all, each increase in quality means a significant increase in extended lifespan.
Some cultivators, when nearing the end of their lives, are more than willing to give up everything they own in order to extend their lives by just a few years.
Indeed, the price is steep, but it depends on whether the cultivators of these sects think that eighty thousand spirit stones per student is worthwhile.
Because if even one disciple manages to get the spirit grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Medicine Garden, the cost for all the disciples can be recouped instantly.
As for the three heretic sects, other than the United Sect, the Xuan Yin Sect, Blood Demonic Sect, and Sky Demon Sect, their prices are about ninety percent higher than the other righteous sects. The price for each disciple is one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones.
Obviously, these three sects didn’t agree right away. When they found out through some channels about the prices the other sects were getting, they were infuriated.
A Golden Core Real Person from the Xuan Yin Sect shouted in rage, “That’s not fair. Why is it only eighty thousand spirit stones per person for other sects, but we have to pay one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones?”
Divine Fire Zen Ren spat out a mouthful of fiery spit at the foot of this Golden Core Real Person from the Xuan Yin Sect, and sneered, “Bah! You heretics dare to speak of fairness? When you carried out your blood sacrifice on a city, did you consider fairness then? Why didn’t you sacrifice your own disciples instead?”
“Now you talk about fairness. Come if you like, if not, piss off. Perhaps the Xuan Yin Sect will return with only a few Golden Core Real People this time, with all other disciples having settled in the Secret Realm, wasting this money.”
The Golden Core Real Person from the Xuan Yin Sect stopped his rising anger, another Golden Core Real Person stepped forward, “The Drunken Immortal, you are a respected elder of the Liu Yun Sect, can you give us a discount?”
The Drunken Immortal shook his head and laughed, “Our Liu Yun Sect has always been enemies with your Xuan Yin Sect. If you were to benefit from classes and obtain precious spiritual grass, it would only be a bad thing for us.”
“The price is non-negotiable. If you choose not to participate, it’s fine with us, so be it. There’s the door.”
“Let’s go, folks. Let me escort you out of Liu Yun Sect territory.” Gold Sword Zen Ren spoke reservedly, a formidable aura radiating from him.
For these Golden Core Real People of the heretic sects, it’s essential to escort them out personally. How could they be trusted not to have some underhanded tricks up their sleeves?
“Please wait, we need to confer.” The two Xuan Yin Sect’s Golden Core Real People locked eyes, set up a sound barrier, and began their discussion.
For this trip, Xuan Yin Sect again ranked below the Liu Yun Sect, receiving only nine entries. Therefore, at least two of them should be able to enter the Wood Element area. As long as one person can get precious spiritual grass, they can recoup their investment.
They quickly made their decision, removed the sound barrier, and declared, “We choose to participate using the second method.”
Divine Fire Zen Ren split his mouth in a grin, revealing a brilliant, flame-like smile. “Heh, you three heretic sects, especially you, Xuan Yin Sect, you’re not eligible to participate in the second method.”
“For obvious reasons. Last time, none of your disciples came back. They all stayed in the Secret Realm. If we halve your cost, we’re bound to make a loss. So, one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones per person, no bargaining.”
The two Xuan Yin Sect’s Golden Core Real People ground their teeth in frustration. They were so oppressed they wished they could leave the Cloud Sect immediately. Yet, if they don’t participate, their nine disciples would fall behind others.
Trying to kidnap Lin Yi hadn’t worked, and he had since holed up in the Cloud Sect like a tortoise, out of their reach.
Of course, they could attempt to capture disciples from other sects and extract the valuable teachings from them in the Secret Realm. However, learning everything on the spot might be too late.
Plus, the reckless tactics of the Xuan Yin Sect last time likely had something to do with all their disciples not returning. For this trip, their plan was to maintain a low profile, focus on collecting spirit grass, avoiding trouble with others and prioritizing their own safety.
“Okay, it’s fifteen thousand spirit stones per person, right? We’ll participate.” The two Golden Core Real People of the Xuan Yin Sect looked at each other again and said slowly and decisively.
