Chapter 55 - 55: 55: Why Aren I t You Robbing



Luckily, He Song was quick to complete the array patterns for the

Spirit-Gathering Array, otherwise, he might not have been able to keep the thirty-five spirit stones.

“Mr. He, have a cup of tea first.”

Seeing that Ping’er had introduced all the jade slips, He Song casually handed her a cup of tea.

But in his mind, he started to think about which skills he should choose.

However, upon thinking about it more, He Song realized that he seemingly didn’t have a choice.

The prices of these skills were beyond his expectations.

Originally, He Song thought that Qi Refining stage skills shouldn’t be too expensive, around ten spirit stones or so.

Even special skills for the Qi Refining stage should only be slightly more expensive, not too outrageous.

Yet he didn’t expect that the prices Ping’er mentioned kept getting higher and higher. In the end, even a set of Sword Formulas required two hundred spirit stones to purchase.

Why not just rob people instead?

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, He Song looked at Pinger sitting next to him.

At He Song’s side.

Seeing his puzzled gaze, Ping’er was momentarily surprised, but quickly realized the reason.

It seemed that she understood what He Song wanted to ask.

“Mr. He, basic skills cost ten spirit stones each, mid-quality skills cost fifty spirit stones each, and high-quality skills cost one hundred spirit stones each. Attack skills cost double the original price and loose cultivators need to pay double the price for all skills. This is the rule of the Immortal Pavilion…” Her crisp voice rang out as she looked at He Song with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Did he never learn the prices of skills before?bender

Did he just focus on cultivation and not have friends to discuss with?

Little did she know.

He Song barely communicated with others under normal circumstances.

Of the few acquaintances he had, none of them ever mentioned the prices of skills.

Those who were more advanced in cultivation than He Song, like Wei Fan, had high incomes and didn’t care about the prices.

Those who were at a similar cultivation level, like Zhao Lin, found the prices reasonable. As an amulet Tao master, Zhao Lin could afford it.

Those with lower cultivation levels wouldn’t have access to such information in the first place.

And He Song had always thought Qi Refining stage skills would all be in the same price range, so he never thought they would be expensive.

But now…

After listening to Ping’er’s explanation, He Song finally understood the astronomical costs of knowledge in the Cultivation World.

It turned out that not only did one need to spend spirit stones to learn cultivation knowledge, but higher-ranked skills also required a considerable amount of spirit stones to acquire.

Also, the gap between the staff of the Immortal Pavilion and loose cultivators was tremendously wide.

The cultivation knowledge was free for Immortal Pavilion staff while loose

cultivators had to pay a spirit stone per day.

Basic Qi Refining stage skills cost ten spirit stones for Immortal Pavilion staff, but twenty for loose cultivators.

Mid-quality Qi Refining stage skills cost fifty spirit stones for Immortal Pavilion staff, but a hundred for loose cultivators.

High-quality Qi Refining stage skills cost a hundred spirit stones for Immortal Pavilion staff, but two hundred for loose cultivators.

It can be said that loose cultivators had a much harder path.

He Song already had a deep understanding of this, but it was only after hearing Ping’er’s introduction to the prices that he truly realized just how hard it was for loose cultivators.

No wonder they were at the bottom of the contempt chain in the Cultivation World.

Feeling a sense of relief, He Song couldn’t help but silently thank his predecessor in his heart.

If it weren’t for the previous owner seizing the opportunity and gaining a foothold in the Immortal Pavilion, he probably wouldn’t have been able to cultivate in peace until now.

However, this wasn’t the time to think about those things.

After hearing Ping’er’s introduction, He Song could only focus on the only two basic skills he could afford.

Fireball Skill, one of the basic skills, can condense fireballs for attacking enemies with decent power, worth ten spirit stones.

Light Body Skill, one of the basic skills, can increase walking speed, essential for long journeys and escaping, worth ten spirit stones.

Flashes of Ping’er’s descriptions of these two basic skills went through He Song’s mind, and with a wave of his hand, twenty spirit stones appeared on the table in front of him.

“Mr. Ping’er, I can only afford those two basic skills for now,” He Song said, cupping his hands toward Ping’er without any change in expression.

“Alright, place the jade slips on your forehead to learn the skills,” Ping’er’s voice replied.

Seeing that He Song only bought two basic skills, Ping’er didn’t mind at all. After handing him the two jade slips, she picked up the twenty spirit stones from the table.

As she put away the spirit stones, a strange color flashed in her eyes.

If she hadn’t seen it wrong earlier, He Song had casually waved his hand and twenty spirit stones appeared on the table.

Though twenty spirit stones weren’t much, this action demonstrated that He Song had a storage bag on him.

Only those with a storage bag could perform such a gesture.

Her gaze shifted to He Song, who was currently placing the jade slips on his forehead, as a growing sense of disbelief filled her heart.

“His finances are meager, but he has a storage bag. Is Mr. He truly in a tight spot or…”

After pondering for a moment, her expression returned to normal, but the look in her eyes carried an indescribable meaning as she watched He Song.

Soon enough, He Song engraved all the information from the two jade slips into his memory.

With just a casual recollection, he could remember all the intricacies of casting these two skills.

Fireball Skill, one of the basic skills, can be used for attacking and as a daily utility due to its high temperature for destruction and concealing traces.

Light Body Skill, one of the basic skills, increases walking speed, making it essential for escaping and traveling long distances; a daily utility.

With these two skills, He Song would have some means of defense when encountering enemies.

Though the Fireball Skill’s power was not strong, it was still a more powerful offensive means than the Spiritl Arrow Skill.

Additionally, with the Light Body Skill, He Song could run away if he was unable to win a fight.

“We’re clear on both money and goods, I’ll take my leave now.”

Since everything was settled now, He Song got up, not giving it a second thought, and bid farewell to Ping’er with a cupped fist.

But just as He Song was about to turn around and leave, Ping’er stopped him with a smile.

“Mr. He, don’t be in such a rush. I recently got some good tea; if you like it, take some back with you. Just wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”

Before He Song could refuse, Ping’er had already disappeared from sight.

A short while later, He Song left the Spirit Skill Pavilion with a small box filled with tea leaves.

Behind him, Ping’er smiled sweetly, watching He Song’s figure disappear into the distance.

Since Ping’er had decided to befriend He Song three years ago, she naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity now that they had met again..
