Chapter 106 Continuing the Bond and Repairing the Temple
Chen Shi's words seemed strangely familiar to Lu Qingyun.
The tax official named Zhang Zhan said the same thing.
What flood washed away the Dragon King Temple?
To be fair, the feng shui of the Great Yun Kingdom is indeed conducive to nurturing people, even producing bureaucrats who are all of the same ilk.
Glancing at Chen Shi, Lu Qingyun, though not intending to kill him, also couldn't let him get away with it so easily. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"What Lord Chen says makes sense. I happen to be a Buddhist as well. The flood cannot wash away the Dragon King Temple. To repair the temple, we need to donate money. Only with money can the temple be repaired. What do you think, Lord Chen?"
"Master Yunxuan is very polite. Please tell me how many spirit stones are needed to repair the temple. I am willing to bear the cost."
Chen's face twitched. He forced a smile and gritted his teeth.
Having been an old and shrewd man for so many years in the Demon Extermination Guard, he could easily tell that Lu Qingyun was trying to extort money from him.
In the past, he would have done this kind of thing to others himself.
Now I'm finally experiencing the bitterness that has befallen me.
"Well said."
Lu Qingyun patted Chen Shi on the shoulder, his eyes showing approval.
"I enjoy dealing with straightforward people like you, fellow Daoist. However, talking about spirit stones is too vulgar. You should talk about fate. Tell me how much fate we have in common."
"fate?"
Chen pretended not to understand, his hand holding the chicken leg trembling, and he didn't dare to take a bite for a long time.
"Yes! It's fate."
Lu Qingyun smiled, looking at Chen Shi with a beaming smile.
It would be too wasteful to simply ask this demon-slaying guard at the eighth level of Qi Refining for some spirit stones.
Even if the other party gave him all the spirit stones they had looted, it would only amount to a few hundred or a thousand at most.
He's certainly not lacking in money, even if it's a few hundred or a thousand dollars.
Chen felt uneasy under their gaze, but dared not utter a single complaint.
"How about two thousand spirit stones?"
Chen gritted his teeth and quoted an astronomical figure.
"Two thousand spirit stones?"
Lu Qingyun frowned. This fat cultivator from the Demon Exorcism Guard was really beyond his expectations. He thought that giving a thousand spirit stones would be quite a lot.
Unexpectedly, he asked for two thousand spirit stones right off the bat.
If I don't rip him off now, I'll feel bad for myself.
Seeing that Lu Qingyun remained silent, Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat.
After a short while, Lu Qingyun finally let out a cold laugh and said:
"Fellow Daoist, do you think two thousand spirit stones are enough to rekindle our destiny?"
"Is my fate only worth two thousand spirit stones? Is this all the temple repair you've achieved, fellow Daoist?"
As Lu Qingyun spoke, he flipped several high-grade [Sword Light Talismans] in his palm.
One, two, three!
Chen's expression changed repeatedly.
It's no wonder his expression changed several times; the talismans that Lu Qingyun displayed were simply too terrifying.
Lu Qingyun had only been a registered top-grade talisman master for a little over half a month, yet he had already drawn so many top-grade killing talismans.
This shows that the other party's talent in talismans is far better than he had expected.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Chen Shi couldn't laugh at all, because the stronger Lu Qingyun's talent, the greater the price he would have to pay to beg for the other party's forgiveness.
Chen Shi trembled, and the chicken leg in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Lu Qingyun used his magic to support his arm.
"Well, fellow Daoist, have you made up your mind? If you really can't, then our fate will have to be broken."
"Continue! I'll continue!"
Chen Shi shuddered at Lu Qingyun's gaze and quickly said, "Three thousand spirit stones! I'm willing to offer three thousand spirit stones!"
"Three thousand spirit stones!"
