The blue haired girl had a confused look on her face, but it wasn't her who answered in the end.
It was Elder Tian who stepped forward to say, "This is our sect master, Liu Ao Xue."
My eyes lit up when I heard this before I cupped my hands and said with a slight bow, "So it was Sect Master Liu. I apologize for not recognizing you."
Liu Ao Xue just gave a snort and turned her nose away.
The way that she did this was almost like she was saying, "How could you know who I am?" But she didn't say it out loud.
However, that wasn't all that I had to say.
"If I may be so bold, may I ask the Sect Master Liu another question?"
Liu Ao Xue turned back to look at me again, but there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at me. It was as if she was trying to figure out just what I was planning by saying all of this.
So in the end, she said with a nod, "Alright, what do you have to ask?"
I looked right up into her eyes and asked, "Sect Master, how much would it cost to be your disciple?"
There was only silence that followed after I said this.
Elder Tian looked like he wanted to say something, but before he could…
Liu Ao Xue raised her hand to stop him before looking back at me. While she was looking at me, I could feel the pressure that was coming from her, but I didn't back down at all.
After a long silence, Liu Ao Xue said, "Do you think that I'm lacking money that I would need to accept money to take a disciple?"
Though it sounded like she was accusing me of something, I didn't fall for it at all as I calmly said, "Of course not, Sect Master Liu is a shining beacon of what a cultivator should be in this world. How could I possibly say something like that?"
Liu Ao Xue was taken aback when she heard this.
There was even what seemed to be a faint blush that appeared on her cheeks when she heard this.
It seemed that this sect master of ours was weak against compliments…
After a moment of silence, she said, "Then why do you think I would take you as a disciple?"
I just calmly said, "Everything in this world has a price and if there's one thing that I'm not lacking, it's money."
"He, he." Liu Ao Xue gave what seemed to be a cold laugh when she heard this.
Elder Tian couldn't help feeling a bit worried, so he wanted to say something to cut in.
It was just too bad that Liu Ao Xue didn't give him a chance at all as she said, "If you have so much money, then I'll just give you a price. If you can pay this price, then I'll give you my word that I'll take you as my disciple."
My eyes lit up when I heard this as I gave a nod to show that I understood.
Elder Tian stepped forward this time and said, "Sect master, maybe we should…"
His voice trailed off when he saw the way that Liu Ao Xue glared at him, so he had no choice but to back down.
With a sigh, Elder Tian thought to himself, "I hope that this won't go too far. It would be good for our sect to have this god of wealth in our sect…"
Liu Ao Xue turned back to look at me before saying in a cold voice, "A hundred high grade spirit stones. As long as you can bring that out, I will make you my disciple right now."
A cold breath was taken by everyone when they heard this.
A hundred high grade spirit stones, what kind of concept was that?
By simple conversion, a hundred low grade spirit stones was worth a single mid grade spirit stone and a hundred mid grade spirit stones was worth a single high grade spirit stone.
So a hundred high grade spirit stones was worth…a million low grade spirit stones!
This was wealth that could reach the total wealth of a fifth grade or even a fourth grade sect. This was not an amount that anyone could give out that easily!
Not to mention, even if one wanted to buy a high grade spirit stone, it was not something that could be bought that easily.
So even if the energy conversion was ten thousand low grade spirit stones for one, one might not be able to buy one with just ten thousand low grade spirit stones.
This was definitely not an amount that someone like Lin Fan should be able to have!
When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing a surprised look.
Seeing that surprised look on my face, Liu Ao Xue immediately said, "What? You can't take out that amount? Is it too much for you?"
As she was gloating in her victory, the next words that I said broke that proud look on her face.
"No, it's too cheap. Master, you should really value yourself more." I said in a voice that made it seem like I was feeling sorry for her.
Liu Ao Xue looked at me with a shocked look for a few seconds before her face twisted in rage and she said, "Who are you calling master? Who are you saying is not valuing them…"
Before she could finish, I waved my hand and another pile of stones appeared on the ground.
But the moment that this pile appeared, the others couldn't help taking a step back.
That was because the wave of spiritual energy that came from this pile was just too strong.
It was so strong that even Liu Ao Xue and Elder Tian were affected by it.
After dropping this pile on the ground, I said, "Master, please take these five hundred high grade spirit stones. This is a price that's more worthy of your status."
