Chapter 766 Taken Advantage Of (1/2)

Everybody was staring with a remarkable expression at the piece of paper on the table. It was obvious that they were stunned by Zhou Yuan’s action. Nobody thought that he would be that direct.

It turned out that he acted indifferent and didn’t want to get involved because there weren’t any benefits for him?

As the saying goes, one doesn’t act without some incentive.

Even when facing so many gazes, Zhou Yuan’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He wasn’t close with the Yi clan, so if they wanted him to help, they naturally needed to pay a good price.

How could there be any reason not to pay?

The materials on the piece of paper were what he needed to evolve into the second stage of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.

Since Zhou Yuan had regained his strength, his priority right now was to evolve the Genesis Qi in his body into the grade-seven World Subduing Heavenly Serpent Qi.

Once his Genesis Qi evolved, his strength would also skyrocket.

However, the materials required for the evolution of Genesis Qi were incredibly rare. Now that Zhou Yuan didn’t have the support of the Cangxuan Sect and could be said to be a loner, it was unknown how much time and effort he would need to exhaust in order to gather everything required. Therefore, since the Yi clan had something to ask of him, he needed to take advantage of the opportunity.

The silence lasted for a good while.

Yi Qianji, who was sitting next to Yi Qiushui, suddenly reached out to grab the piece of paper a distance away and carefully studied it.

His eyelids were twitching when he finished reading; some of the materials written on it were of considerable value.

But he didn’t say much, and he just passed the paper around for the other members of the Yi clan to take a look.

Finally the note came to Yi Qiushui’s hand.

“Haha, little friend, your price isn’t low at all.” Sitting below Yi Qianji was another Heavenly Sun expert of the Yi clan. He forced a smile onto his face.

“The total value of these materials is more than enough to invite a famous advanced Divine Dwelling stage expert.” Liu Ming could not help but sneer, and she angrily glared at Zhou Yuan.

“You are only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage. Why do you think you are worth this price?”

Liu Tianying didn’t stop her from speaking out because he also felt the young man in front of him was excessively arrogant.

An expert of the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage wasn’t worth that price, even if he had defeated Xu Feng.

But in the end the boy whom they looked down on made unreasonable demands and tried to take advantage of the Yi clan.

If the matter of the Yi clan inviting an intermediate Divine Dwelling stage expert at such a high cost were to spread, the Yi clan would most likely become a joke and make outsiders think that the Yi clan was in a desperate situation and would try anything.

The other members of the Yi clan whispered to one another while glaring at Zhou Yuan with cold unkind gazes.

However, Zhou Yuan still remained indifferent. He responded with a smile. “You get what you pay for.”

Everyone was so angry that they also found it laughable. This boy really is shameless!

Aren’t you just at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage?

Sitting at the main seat, Yi Qiushui, who hadn’t said a word, tapped the tabletop with her slender fingers and made a noise that caused the hall to immediately fall silent.

It was obvious that Yi Qiushui was well respected in the Yi clan.

This could be seen from the fact that Yi Qianji and another Heavenly Sun expert of the Yi clan had never refuted her. Of course, this was also naturally related to the fact that her grandfather occupied an important elder position in Tianyuan Region.

Yi Qiushui’s clear eyes were fixed on Zhou Yuan as she remarked, “Brother Zhou, your price really isn’t low.”

Zhou Yuan let out a long sigh. He certainly knew that the materials he needed were incredibly precious. If the Yi clan wasn’t lacking people, then even if he were to recommend himself, they would have simply ignored him.

But he had no other option. Without those materials, it would be difficult for his Ancestral Dragon Scripture to enter the second realm.

He knitted his brows in a frown and hesitated whether to remove some materials.

However, just as he was about to speak, Yi Qiushiu’s soft voice sounded once again, “But those materials...my Yi clan can still afford to pay such a price.”
