At the end of the day, Ji Yuan had finally suppressed the effects of the masculine pills but his legs were still feeling jelly.
But he was also delighted because finally was the day he could finally end his seclusion. His first thought was of course to look for Feng Minyue to apologize for his 'rude' behavior the day before.
He was still anxious that he had already screwed up her impression of him.
"I'm here to settle my bills." He casually said to the spirit steward in charge of the cultivation practice chamber. "And hurry up."
He generous took out a thousand high grade spirit stones with a grin. "And keep the change."
Even though a thousand high grade spirit stones were a lot but he still has 99,000 high grade spirit stones. Therefore this is just small change to him.
"I'm afraid that this isn't enough." The spirit steward said casually as he showed Ji Yuan the bill. "The total bill is 500,000 high grade spirit stones. However there are five days of interests so the total bill is 700,000 high grade spirit stones. Since you are a high prolific client of ours, this amount has already been discounted. So you still has to pay 699,000 high grade spirit stones."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
"What the heck is this?!! This bill is too outrageous! When did I ever agree to this?!"
The spirit steward smiled. "You did."
And he imdiately showed Ji Yuan a mory stone that recorded their conversations.
In the mory stone, Ji Yuan was in a great hurry and he literally said anything just to get a cultivation practice chamber so that he would not be disturbed by anyone.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
"What if I don't pay up?" He began to smile bitterly.
"Then you will owe us 5.8 million high grade spirit stones at the end of the trial. If you still refuse to pay up then the trial will forcefully take away your saintly divine sword."
Ji Yuan smiled even more bitterly, "You even know that I've a saintly divine sword. But do you know that my saintly divine sword is priceless and it is worth more than 5.8 million high grade spirit stones."
"But since you have nothing valuable to be used as paynt then your saintly divine sword will do." The trial steward smiled. "Mind you, the trial has the ability to take away your possessions because when you have entered the trial, you are already bounded to it by a sacred contract."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
All of a sudden Ji Yuan felt like this world was suddenly coming down.
Overnight, he seed to have lost everything…
He was virtually bankrupted now…
Life is so unfair to him…
Good fortune did not favor him…
He was now a born loser and also a beggar…
His hopes of restoring the glory of his Orthodox Sword Sect were now over.
"Xiang Li, we are poor again." He said to her in his soul sea.
"It's alright Big Brother." Xiang Li giggled. "Your consorts are all freaking rich."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
"You have any idea what you're talking about Xiang Li? A man got to depend on himself and not on his won otherwise he is just a gigolo."
"What is gigolo?" Xiang Li asked curiously.
"A gigolo is soone that depends on a woman using his pretty face." Ji Yuan explained coolly.
Xiang Li was suddenly giggling.
"What is wrong?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Nothing." Xiang Li continued to giggle; she had suddenly thought that her big brother was actually a gigolo because he really had a beautiful look.
"I was just thinking that Big Brother still have twenty days to repay your debt. As long as we have one good win, we can repay your debt easily." Xiang Li pretended to say.
Ji Yuan clapped his hands. "That's right! We still have twenty days. Haha."
Then he said firmly to the spirit steward. "I still have twenty days to repay the debt. Good bye for now."
As he was about to leave, the spirit steward suddenly said. "Wait a minute. I've a gift for you."
Ji Yuan was startled. "A gift for ?"
The spirit steward nodded. "You've spent the most in the trial so the trial is rewarding you with a special gift in return for your generosity."
Ji Yuan: ???
The spirit steward took out a round sphere and said. "This is the Trial Viewing Sphere. You may only use it once to view the status of soone that is close to you in the trial. It lasts approximately five minutes. Please note that the viewing person must be soone that you know well or it won't work."
Ji Yuan smiled bitterly as he took the Trial Viewing Sphere. "It isn't free. It cost 700,000 high grade spirit stones."
As Ji Yuan walked off, he began to mutter. "What is the use of this Trial Viewing Sphere? It is totally useless…"
All of a sudden Ji Yuan thought of Guo Taiming who is his best friend.
"I wonder if he is alright in the trial? After all, he is the last of my best friends…hopefully he is still alive…"
So he began to rub and imbued his profound strength on the Trial Viewing Sphere.
An image began to pop up and he soon saw Guo Taiming talking to two other cultivators.
To his surprise, he had recognized the two cultivators; they are Shen Qin the Young Master of the Astonishing Sword Manor and Li Ye the Elder of his Emperor Hall Sect.
"Why are they all together?!" Ji Yuan was perplexed. "And they seem to be hiding in a cave? Are they in danger or in the sa trial?"
Shen Qin was saying, "Hahaha, so we are all brothers to Big Brother Ji Yuan so therefore we should stay here and wait until the end of the trial."
Guo Taiming was nodding, "True, true! It is too dangerous to be outside."
Li Ye was frowning. "This isn't a good idea, am I right? We are all golden celestials and we have a reputation to uphold. We should be taking the trials…"
"Brother Li Ye, you are wrong." Guo Taiming laughed. "Preserving our life is more important than anything else."
"I agree with Brother Guo here." Shen Qin said. "As long as the others know that we are inside the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth then our reputation will be uphold. There is no need to take any risk."
"We are here to take the trials so that we can obtain cultivation resources to advance in our cultivation realm." Li Ye pointed out.
Shen Qin chuckled. "I am a saint already so there is no need for us to be so eager or else too much haste will only need upon our downfall. Why don't I give the two of you ten thousands high grade spirit stones each to be my protectors instead? I can also provide you with so other cultivation resources. So what do you think?"
Li Ye and Guo Taiming were both gasping at the sa ti. "Ten thousand high grade spirit stones?! Are you serious?"
Shen Qin laughed. "Of course. This is but small change for ."
Guo Taiming tugged Li Ye. "You know. Only I know, he knows and we know. No one else will know."
Li Ye slowly nodded as he looked at Shen Qin. "You promise?"
Shen Qin smiled broadly, "Of course. I can even pay half of the promised amount first…"
At this mont the image had suddenly vanished and Ji Yuan was left cursing. "I can't believe that I've just witnessed their shady deals…it is only a re ten thousand high grade spirit stones and they are selling away their pride…"
But he was soon heaving with relief, "Brother Guo, don't you die on . Stay alive…"
He was suddenly grinning, "Yeah, please don't die so that I can blackmail you guys for half the amount. Shen Qin, you're richer. Haha."
