Chapter 714: Chapter 734: Talking About Spirit Stones Would Be Impolite, Huh? _1

"You previously provided over 7 million spirit stones. Here, I’m returning 10 million to you, with the extra as a return on your no-cost investment."

Lin Chen handed a 10 million spirit stone card to Situ Xiu, laughing, "Not to mention whether it’s a big profit or not, at least it’s not a loss."

Situ Xiu didn’t reach out his hand: "It was originally no-cost support. There’s no need to talk about returns. Just give me the principal back. You want to refine a body of Sword Bones now, and I’m afraid it won’t work without a few hundred million spirit stones. You’re short of money."

Lin Chen directly stuffed the Spirit Stone Card into Situ Xiu’s hand: "One yard goes to one yard. Take it."

Situ Xiu couldn’t help but accept it, bitterly smiling, "It was originally meant to be burned in sincerity, but I didn’t expect to actually make a profit."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Victors and losers, the losers always have to pay the bill."

Lin Chen handed the remaining two 10 million Spirit Stone Cards to Situ Xiu, "The purchase of materials was interrupted due to the defense of the city. Now continue, 20 million, all used to buy Black Iron Crow Essence, the faster the better."

Situ Xiu accepted it promptly: "Okay, I’ll make arrangements right away."

Refining Sword Bones, besides Black Iron Crow Essence, also requires other medicinal materials. The medicines needed for refining the Sword Bones of limbs in the early stage are not too many, but in the later stage, more precious medicines are needed for refining the skull and vertebrae bones, which can even be worth more than Black Iron Crow Essence.

In Qiao Wei’s compensation list, besides the 40 million spirit stones, the conversion of the 50 pieces of Black Iron Crow Essence into spirit stones is less than 20 million, and the other 40 million spirit stones are all valuable medicines needed to refine Sword Bones. From this, it can be seen that refining a body of Sword Bones, 206 pieces of Black Iron Crow Essence are essential, but they are not the largest expense.

No wonder Qiao Wei tried all kinds of ways to make money, and after running around for so long, she still hadn’t earned enough resources.

Lin Chen bid farewell to Situ Xiu, only to hear that Su Dingbo, Su Mubai’s father, was visiting.

"Mr. Su!"

Su Dingbo looked at Lin Chen with slightly complicated eyes.

He had already heard the whole story about the defense of the city from his daughter’s mouth. It was too dangerous.

The city was broken, and the Nascent Soul Experts broke into the city, but suddenly fainted. If it weren’t for this, Lin Chen might already be gone.

Su Dingbo smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, Bai Tao City was attacked, and the Su family couldn’t send people for rescue. It was really helpless. Please understand."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Mr. Su, you’re too polite. Miss Su personally brought 20 million spirit stones to help. I remember this kindness deeply."

Su Dingbo breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought Lin Chen was just an ordinary Feipu Peak disciple, and also asked the Sect Master for Black Iron Crow Essence for Qiao Wei before, but now he learns that he has become Qiao Wei’s junior brother and has been taught the Sword Bones secret technique by her, his status has suddenly changed dramatically.

Now, although Lin Chen’s strength is not strong enough, his identity is already on par with the Su family, and his future is immeasurable.

Su Dingbo didn’t want Lin Chen to have a grudge over this matter, thinking that the Su family was unwilling to help and harboring resentment in his heart.

After some pleasantries, Su Dingbo confirmed that Lin Chen was not dissatisfied with the Su family, and said with a smile, "Lin Chen, recently I took Mubai to the market and happened to see someone selling Black Iron Crow Essence, so I bought them all, a total of 30 pieces. You take them."

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Thirty pieces of Black Iron Crow Essence was no small amount.

It is extremely rare in production, and even if the sect has reserves, they generally won’t sell it, as it can greatly enhance the quality of refined tools, making it a sect necessity. Because of this, only when it appears on the market, it will be bought immediately, and it may not be available to ordinary cultivators even if they have spirit stones.

"Thank you, Mr. Su. How many spirit stones in total?"

Su Dingbo laughed, "Talking about spirit stones would be too much of a stranger. This is a gift to Mr. Lin. You sent back my father’s bones and saved my daughter’s life. This is a great favor and can’t be compared to a little bit of Black Iron Crow Essence. This is just a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it and don’t refuse."

Having said that before in the Ten Thousand Swords Hall of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Su Dingbo had said that he would help Lin Chen buy Black Iron Crow Essence to express his gratitude. Since he had said so, Lin Chen didn’t refuse and happily accepted it.

Su Dingbo stayed in Bai Tao City for one night, and the next morning, Su Mubai came to Lin Chen to say goodbye alone.

"Miss Su, are you leaving already?"

Su Mubai smiled and said, "Yes, the matter in Bai Tao City is over, and it’s time for me to go back. I’ve had some insights recently, and after going back for closed-door cultivation, I might be able to make a breakthrough."

Lin Chen said with joy, "Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Su Mubai nodded, "I’ll give it a try and hope to be successful."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Then I wish you all the best. When we meet next time, you might already be a Nascent Soul Expert, and I won’t be able to beat you."

Su Mubai laughed, "That’s not necessarily true. Even Qiao Feng Main is at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage, and she doesn’t dare say for sure that she can win against someone in the late nascent Soul stage. If you cultivate a body of Sword Bones, even if you’re in the Golden Core stage, it might be entirely possible to beat most Nascent Soul cultivators."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s not that easy. Time and cultivation aside, just resources alone would take at least a few hundred million, and that’s hard to earn."

Su Mubai smiled, "I believe you’ll be fine. By the way, will you participate in the Xixi State Sect Competition in one year?"
