Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 524: Chapter 523: Debt Repayment Thunder_1

“This storage ring contains ten million Spirit Stones, which serve as a deposit. Please accept it, Mr. Tao.”

Vice Headmaster Shi felt the pinch, as he had originally planned to use this ten million to acquire the rights to promotions, but now, this ten million has turned into a mere deposit.

“I need to reallocate funds to amass the remaining forty million, so I ask for your patience for about half a month, Mr. Tao.”

“We have not yet completed capturing the one-minute promotional fantasy realm, so after half a month, the promotional fantasy realm, along with the forty million Spirit Stones, will be delivered to Mr. Tao.”

“This is a wooden tag used for contact.” Vice Headmaster Shi handed Tao Yaoye a wooden tag about the size of a palm. He has also given one to Lu Yang.

“Once the Spirit Stones have been collected, we will contact Mr. Tao through the wooden tag.”

Shi Huagu’s attitude couldn’t be more thoughtful.

As Lu Yang had said before, in this matter, it was the Nine Nether Sect begging Tao Yaoye to do something; Tao Yaoye was the one holding the initiative.

“Fine, I have other business to attend to, so I will not keep your company any longer.” Shi Huagu slowly rose to his feet, gave a signal to Huo Huashen, and asked him to see Lu Yang and the others out.

Huo Huashen understood what was intended and took out an eyedropper from his storage ring and handed it to Shi Huagu.

Shi Huagu in shock: “…”

“I asked you to see them off!”

If it weren’t for Huo Huashen’s high potential and given the time, he could become Vice Headmaster or even Headmaster, Shi Huagu would have slapped this bastard to death!

Huo Huashen thought to himself, can this be blamed on me? Your honor’s one glance implicates a lot, who can understand that?

After Huo Huashen saw off the three of them, and they had walked about two miles, they heard a thundering sound behind them that startled them.

They turned around and saw a radical change in the weather where Shi Huagu was. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and there was lightning and thunder, as if apocalypse were imminent.

This was a Thunder Tribulation that posed a threat to life even at the Unification stage. Even though they were so far apart, they could still feel the pressure from the thunder…

“Wait, why don’t I feel any pressure?” Lu Yang was puzzled. Judging by the looks on the faces of his two junior sisters and Huo Huashen, the power of thunder should have reached here.

Why doesn’t he feel anything at all?

“Of course, it’s because this fairy is present.” Fairy Eternity stepped forward and boasted, her chin raised high in pride.

“Are you really so powerful, Fairy?” Lu Yang was very surprised, he did not expect Fairy Eternity to have such great influence.

“Naturally, most of the thunder tribulations originate from the Tribulation Dao Fruit blessed by Yingtian Immortal. So why wouldn’t the thunder tribulation respect me?”

Although Yingtian Immortal was not the creator of thunder tribulation, his merit was in promoting and diversifying the methods and types of thunder tribulation.

For the first time, Lu Yang realized how significant Fairy Eternity’s influence was – even the thunder tribulation had to give her face.

It seems that Yingtian Immortal left quite a psychological shadow on Fairy Eternity.

“Looking at this situation, this thunder tribulation should be the Debt Repayment Thunder tribulation, specially designed to punish those who owe money and refuse to repay it.”

Lu Yang remembered that Huo Huashen had taken a part of Qin Haoran’s inheritance from him, and the content of the inheritance was related to the IOU…

Lu Yang made sure that Huo Huashen, standing next to him, was still alive and marveled at how much importance Vice Headmaster Shi placed on Huo Huashen. Lu Yang was impressed that he had managed to survive this ordeal.

“The name of this thunder tribulation seems a bit too plain, doesn’t it?” Lu Yang thought about it. In his impression, thunder tribulation should have names such as Shangqing, Zixiao, Guiji, Six-C, Six-A.

You named it Debt Repayment Thunder, why not name it IOU Thunder?

Yingtian Immortal, do you know how to name things?

“I think the names I came up with are fine.”

Lu Yang suddenly came to a realization, and his expression twinkled as if he’d had an epiphany: “So it was you, Fairy, who named it! No wonder the name carries a return to simplicity. After thinking it over, I realize that there is profound wisdom in it. As the saying goes, return what you owe. If debtors would repay their debts, they wouldn’t encounter thunder tribulation. Therefore, those who don’t repay their debts have to lose their lives. The name that Fairy has given it is really thought-provoking. A few short words contain multiple layers of deep meaning, it’s really food for thought!”

Fairy Eternity revealed a smile that fit her age: “Hehe, I didn’t think that deeply.”

Seeing a Unification Stage cultivator Pass Tribulation was a rare occurrence, so they all stopped to watch for a while.

Actually, Huo Huashen had seen it several times before, but he was mainly accompanying Lu Yang and the other two.

In the grand scheme of things, this was just a spectacle. The Thunder Tribulation that threatened even someone at the Unification Stage was beyond their understanding, as the level was too high. Given Lu Yang and the other two’s Realm, they couldn’t grasp the secrets of Shi Huagu successfully passing his tribulation.

As for Fairy Eternity, she had witnessed Yingtian Immortal orchestrate this Thunder Tribulation firsthand, hence, she had nothing much to see.

Leaving Shi Huagu to his tribulation, Huo Huashen escorted the three of them onto the flying boat.

Before they left, Huo Huashen felt he needed to speak his mind, or he’d just stew in his thoughts.

“If you three ever get a chance, you should come by our barbecue joint. Although it can’t compare to the mountain and sea delicacies of the Immortal Sect, our skewers are quite good.”

“Alright.”

In the flying boat’s cabin, Lan Ting still seemed dazed.

How did it happen that they were just going to complete a regular mission and ended up being intercepted by the vice headmaster of the Nine Nether Cult, then asked to cooperate, and finally given ten million spirit stones, all before being sent away courteously?

Though Lan Ting didn’t lack money, she had never seen such a way of making money before.

She was from the renowned Lan family. Most influential families would have a regional prefix. For instance, Yan Family of Qingzhou, Wenren Family of Liang State, and Ye Family of Liang State. Only a few influential families did not have such a prefix. When one mentioned the family with the surname ‘Lan’, it only referred to the Lan family. This was the kind of treatment only top-ranked prestigious families got. This was the result of both power and accumulation over time.

Meng family was the same.

Though the Lan family was not on par with the most prestigious Meng family, it was still among the top influential families.

Lu Yang took a sigh of relief. This trip had gone rather smoothly. They didn’t have to kill a Unification Stage cultivator, nor did they have to face a Transcendance Tribulation stage one.

“Senior Brother Lu, these ten million spirit stones…” Tao Yaoye looked eagerly at Lu Yang, holding the storage ring. The spirit stones had been too easy to come by, which left her feeling uneasy.

She felt like she hadn’t done anything to earn ten million spirit stones. Plus, there was still forty million to be paid.

Lu Yang waved it off, “You earned it with your own skills. Keep it.”

“Oh.”

“There’s another thing I need to remind you about.”

“What?”

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. He saw a few burly men stand up in the distance and begin to walk his way. He reminded her casually, “When you’re out and about, don’t flaunt your wealth. It can get you into trouble.”

Tao Yaoye suddenly realized she had not transmitted her voice to speak with Senior Brother Lu earlier. Any cultivator who had paid some attention to their conversation would have heard what she had said.

Now, she was seen as a cultivator who had ten million spirit stones. It was a fortune that would take a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator a lifetime to amass. She was only at the Golden Core Stage!

Wealth and power that do not match, are sure to attract trouble!

A few grim-faced burly men approached, their cultivation levels concealed. They were at least at the Golden Core Stage or perhaps even at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Long-distance flying consumed a cultivator’s spiritual essence too much. Many cultivators would choose to travel in flying boats even if they could fly.

The sturdy men surrounded Lu Yang’s group, ignoring both Lu Yang and Lan Ting. They looked at Tao Yaoye, and greed was barely concealed in their expressions.

“Fellow daoist, it seems you have quite a lot of spirit stones?”

“Having so many spirit stones with you… it’s not safe. Why don’t we keep them for you?”

“What do you guys want!” Tao Yaoye asked cautiously, secretly reaching for her Identity Jade in preparation to use her magic artifact at any moment.

What if the opponents were Nascent Soul Stage? She was not afraid at all.

The leading burly man just chuckled coldly, making no effort to disguise his intentions.

“Have you ever considered depositing your spirit stones with our Land Money Trade Association, fellow daoist? You get five percent interest annually.”
