Chapter 231: Price (2/2)
A Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse of his generation being angered to death by vomiting blood. This would absolutely shake the entire Endless World!
Ye Yuan saw that the intensity was just about right. He blinked and said, ”Elder Yao really doesn't want to be my disciple? Actually, being my disciple really isn't bad. I won't even let ordinary people be!”
This was not Ye Yuan boasting. In his previous life, only God knew how many alchemists wanted to go under his tutelage. But Ye Yuan did not accept a single one.
Ji Qingyun disliked that teaching disciples wasted far, far too much time, delaying his researching the Alchemy Dao.
Yao Qian did not speak and just shook his head decisively. He was already on the verge of collapse.
”Sigh, that's such a shame. I can't show off to others in the future,” Ye Yuan said regretfully.
”Quick . . . Quickly say your terms!”
Now that it had come to this, Yao Qian was already prepared to bleed heavily.
”Elder Yao is really generous. You know that sect disciples don't lead a good life. As a Pill Hall elder, Elder Yao should have quite a lot of points, right?” Ye Yuan enquired with a beam.
Yao Qian's heart jolted. ”How much do you want?”
Ye Yuan reached out two fingers.
”20 thousand?” Yao Qian's heart eased up. 20 thousand points were already quite a number to core disciples.
”Is Elder Yao dismissing a beggar?”
”200 thousand?”
Yao Qian's eyes went wide. It was truly demanding an exorbitant price!
Ye Yuan shook his head again. ”Two million!”
”Two million? Why don't you go rob?! Where do I have so many points?” Yao Qian was taken aback by Ye Yuan.
Two million was also an astronomical figure to Yao Qian!
He only accumulated a million plus points back then when he was hoarding for the Purple Center Soul Incantation.
Although the elder position was high, expenses were high too. The points he had on hand were only roughly 500 thousand or so.
2 million points were four times his total net worth!
Seeing Yao Qian's expression, Ye Yuan also came to realize that his asking price seemed to be too high.
He originally wanted 2 million to give Jiang Yunhe 1.4 million to exchange for the Purple Center Soul Incantation. Then, he would have 600 thousand left, which should be enough to use for a long time.
It looked like this plan was going to go bust.
”How much do you have?”
”I only have 300 thousand!”
”Like that huh, then no talk.”
”Wait, wait!” Yao Qian hurriedly said. ”I . . . I can gather up to a million! But, two million are really too much. Even us elders can't possibly have that much! Two million points, even if I don't use points in the future, I would also need to amass them for 10 years! You can ask the other elders about this, and you'll know whether what I said is true or not.”
Ye Yuan rubbed his chin and was still quite dissatisfied. But since Yao Qian already said this, it was almost certainly the case. However, he was certain that Yao Qian definitely understated his own points.
”1.2 million. No less.”
He had to pay some price since he wanted to call off the bet. The price was that Yao Qian would have to work for free for others several years after.
Yao Qian did not say anything as his expression flickered indecisively.
700 thousand points. He basically had to forget about doing other things for the next five years. It would essentially all be used to repay the debt.
However, to really recover, it would require at least seven years!
But compared to becoming Ye Yuan's disciple, he would rather spend his days in debt!
Finally, Yao Qian gritted his teeth and said, ”Fine! Deal!”
