Chapter 99: Washing Dishes to Repay Debts
“What else do you want?” Looking at Young Master Yun, Jiang Taixuan spoke indifferently.
“Two strands of Innate Spiritual Energy, a Divine-level Cultivation Method, from beginner to Divine Power. How could I be inferior to Yang Ziling.” Young Master Yun sneered, saying proudly.
Jiang Taixuan’s eyes brightened and he said, “A cultivation method from beginner to Divine Power requires one thousand one hundred and ten Yuan Crystals, plus fifty Yuan Coins. Two strands of Innate Spiritual Energy cost one hundred Spirit Crystals.”
Young Master Yun reached for his ring, but suddenly stopped, his face full of embarrassment.
“What, you have no money?” Jiang Taixuan’s expression was indifferent, showing neither joy nor anger.
Wang Mingming, who was spinning the turntable, sneered mockingly, “And you still want to compare with Miss Yang? She just waved her hand and took out three hundred thousand Yuan Coins without even blinking.”
Young Master Yun’s face instantly flushed red. He hadn’t paid much attention to the prices before. Now that everything was added up, it cost over a thousand Yuan Crystals. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but he had other uses for the money and was reluctant to spend it here.
“Young Master Yun.” Liu Qing and Yu Hong called out softly, saying, “The City Lord has asked us to come over. The situation is very urgent.”
Young Master Yun’s expression softened slightly, and he said calmly, “In that case, let’s go back for now. Field Master, we will come again next time. Farewell.”
After saying that, Young Master Yun directly scurried away in disgrace.
“Poor scum.” Wang Mingming couldn’t help but curl his lip. “My father invited you back? What kind of people do you think you are?”
The three of them paused in their steps, their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot, and their speed of departure suddenly increased.
Jiang Taixuan pulled up the Celestial Network and did not forget to shout, “On the Celestial Network, City Lord Wang did not call for you. Don’t walk so fast, don’t trip.”
You dared to call me a cook? I hope I angered you to death.
The three of them stumbled, almost falling headlong. One of them was a big shot from the Imperial Capital, and the other two were sect disciples. When had they ever encountered such a situation? This was completely humiliating!
“Young City Lord Wang, the other party might be a big shot from the Imperial Capital. Are you sure you won’t be beaten to death when you go back?” Jiang Taixuan looked at Wang Mingming. This guy really wasn’t afraid of death.
“Why be afraid? I’m not going back tonight.” Wang Mingming’s face was full of craziness. It looked like he really intended to play all night.
“Three thousand more Yuan Coins.” Jiang Taixuan looked at his small treasury, feeling slightly surprised.
…
“Damn it! A trash city, a low-level shop, dares to sell things so expensive. Do they really think that cultivation method is Divine Level?” In Qingyue Forest, Young Master Yun was furious, his eyes flashing with a devouring ferocity.
“Your Highness, please calm your anger.” The two quickly bowed with folded fists. “Your Highness, Master has not arrived yet. We can only endure for now.”
“Hmph! When Elder Lin arrives, we will seize this Divine Devil Dojo. Today they dared to humiliate me like this. And that Wang Mingming, a Young City Lord? When I return to the Imperial Capital, the City Lord of Clear Moon City will be replaced immediately.” Young Master Yun said with a gloomy expression.
“Your Highness is wise. However, the Divine Devil Dojo’s strength is not weak. They even have martial artists comparable to Dao Fruit. With Master alone, it might be hard to capture it.” Liu Qing whispered.
“Heh, comparable to Dao Fruit? They’re just some trash who just broke through, their realms unstable. I have already given Elder Lin the Primordial Spirit Root. I believe Elder Lin will arrive soon as a mid-stage Dao Fruit.” Young Master Yun sneered.
“Your Highness is wise. If Master breaks through to mid-stage Dao Fruit, he will definitely be able to capture the Divine Devil Dojo. At that time, everything inside will belong to Your Highness.” Liu Qing and the other said joyfully.
“Great! We can also get revenge for the humiliation we suffered.” Yu Hong also said.
“Alright, don’t call me Your Highness. You two go back to Yang Ziling’s place first and investigate the Cloud Order’s news.” Young Master Yun said.
“Yes.” The two bowed and left in quick steps.
Jiang Taixuan saw the two off, idly browsing the Celestial Network and checking the news.
Soon, someone else came. It was a strange martial artist, also an Innate Martial Artist, dressed finely, his face sharp as if carved by a knife, his expression cold.
“Welcome.” Jiang Taixuan felt puzzled in his heart. What day was it today? Another seemingly extraordinary person had come.
“Divine Martial Scripture, from Innate to Foundation Building.” The newcomer spoke coldly, directly taking out one thousand one hundred Yuan Coins.
Jiang Taixuan took the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. This person had clearly inquired thoroughly about the dojo’s matters before coming.
“Innate Spiritual Energy, two strands.” Another ten thousand Yuan Coins were taken out.
After the Innate Martial Artist bought the items, he left directly.
Not long after, more people came, all strangers. This made Jiang Taixuan feel very strange. What was going on today? Suddenly so many unfamiliar martial artists had come, and their strength was not low.
These people basically all came to buy some things. Cultivation methods sold less, but God-Demon Pills and Innate Spiritual Energy were sold quite a lot.
By the time he finished work, the sky was almost completely dark. Wang Mingming was already starving and had started cooking by himself.
“Field Master, how is your business so good today?” Wang Mingming scooped up Crystal Rice, looking surprised. “Is this really Crystal Rice? I feel like it’s almost like eating God-Demon Pills, just a bit weaker.”
Jiang Taixuan took a bite and also had that feeling, though it was far inferior to God-Demon Pills. Moreover, a little bit of Primordial Energy appeared in his body, only slightly slower than his own cultivation.
“This is planted by a special method. As for the business, I’m also surprised.” Jiang Taixuan rubbed his temples. Today, not counting that strange martial artist who bought the Innate to Foundation Building cultivation method, his commission was over a thousand Yuan Coins.
If this trend continued, he could soon buy all ten strands of Innate Spiritual Energy.
“Haven’t you heard any rumors lately about who might come to Clear Moon City?” Jiang Taixuan swallowed a piece of Demon Beast meat and asked.
Wang Mingming shook his head. “When do I have time to care about that? I’ve been thinking of ways to make money.”
You mean thinking of ways to spend money, right?
Jiang Taixuan rolled his eyes. Knowing he wouldn’t get an answer from Wang Mingming, he finished his meal, lay directly on the hammock to sleep, while Wang Mingming continued the prize draw.
In Clear Moon City, more and more strangers came, making the city livelier, yet also more oppressive.
Many foreign martial artists were very arrogant. They basically all looked down on Clear Moon City’s martial artists, and some even tried to eat without paying.
The result was predictable. These arrogant martial artists were basically all beaten up badly.
It was a complete one-hit defeat, without even the ability to fight back.
“I just don’t understand, why are they all so weak but still dare to be so arrogant?” A Clear Moon City Innate Realm martial artist helplessly posted on the Celestial Network.
“What is wrong with this world? I’m not even arrogant. Why are these weaklings so self-righteous one after another?”
“This reminds me of that young man who challenged the Field Master. By the way, what was that young man’s name? There hasn’t been any news for several days?”
The matter of challenging Jiang Taixuan had already spread. Xu Changkong lost several times in a row, unable to even take one move. Then he went to challenge Yang Ziling and also ended in miserable defeat. In the end, he even went bankrupt.
“That young man you mentioned is called Xu Changkong. Because he ate too much in one meal, he is now washing dishes at Clear Moon Tavern to repay his debt, doing hard labor. But because it’s too tiring and the consumption is too great, he eats even more, so his debt keeps getting bigger.”
Jiang Taixuan stared blankly at the Celestial Network. Xu Changkong went to wash dishes? And kept eating more?
If things continued like this, wouldn’t he never be able to pay it off?
“What a simple child. His master really only taught him cultivation, not any other knowledge at all.” Jiang Taixuan rubbed his temples, mourning for Xu Changkong.
“But didn’t I send Xiao Cheng and Chen Zhonghe to find him? Why is he still washing dishes?” Jiang Taixuan was puzzled and posted on the Celestial Network to ask.
“Field Master, the Clear Moon Tavern manager won’t let him go. Xu Changkong owes too much. If we hire him, we will only lose money. So we asked for a route map.” Chen Zhonghe replied helplessly.
“Owes too much? How much can eating cost?” Jiang Taixuan didn’t understand. Even if he ate Demon Beast meat every day, he shouldn’t owe that many Yuan Coins, at most ten thousand.
“He eats every day, and on top of that, he challenges Yang Ziling, completely ignoring the occasion, breaking Clear Moon Tavern’s furniture, driving away customers. Hah, he will probably never get out in this lifetime.” Chen Zhonghe sneered.
“…”
