Chapter 55: Price Increase

After all the tests were completed, Elder Han turned around and scanned the remaining people in the hall.

"Three days later, the outer courtyard soul pool will reopen. All disciples with an affinity of more than 50% and enough points can enter it to practice and break through!"

Elder Han announced loudly.

Many people were excited.

Because entering the soul pool to practice consumes too many points, most outer courtyard disciples are willing to enter it to seek breakthroughs when they are about to break through.

After a few breaths, Elder Han took a deep look at Chu Tian and turned to leave.

When everyone saw Elder Han leave, they left the soul testing hall in twos and threes.

Luo Yuanwen looked at Chu Tian and the other two leaving together, and a sinister sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Not long after leaving the soul testing hall, Chu Tian suddenly heard Ba Lao's voice transmission.

"Boy, when I was testing just now, I found that in addition to the rich fire attribute spirit essence in your body, there seems to be another mysterious power lurking deep inside, but it has been dormant."

There was a hint of doubt in Ba Lao's voice.

Although the mysterious power was very weak and hidden very deeply, it gave people a very terrifying feeling.

The most important thing is that the power was obviously different from any power that Ba Lao knew.

Chu Tian hurriedly asked: "Ba Lao, does that power have any effect on my breakthrough to the Lingyun Realm?"

"No effect."

Ba Lao replied affirmatively.

Chu Tian was relieved immediately.

Since there was no effect, Chu Tian decided to ignore it for the time being and study it slowly when he had time in the future.

Immediately, Chu Tian lowered his head and thought.

His affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far more than 50%, but his current cultivation was still some distance away from the peak of the ninth level of the Refining Body Realm, and he was not fully prepared to break through to the Lingyun Realm.

At this time, Ba Lao reminded: "Boy, don't hesitate, go and exchange some Essence Pills now. Three days will be enough for you to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm!"

"Okay!"

Chu Tian nodded in agreement.

Essence Pills are an extremely precious pill that can quickly improve the cultivation of warriors in the Body Refining Realm. The side effects are very small, but the price is very expensive.

A moment later, Chu Tian, ​​Che Xingbo and Bai Chi came to the Pill Hall.

Because they did not have enough accumulation, they decided to wait for a while, and then enter the Soul Condensation Pool after accumulating enough, and try to break through to the Soul Condensation Realm.

Now, the two are purely accompanying Chu Tian to shop.

There is a lot of space in the Pill Hall, and there are not too many people.

Soon, it was Chu Tian's turn.

The person in charge of exchanging pills is a fat old man in a gray robe, with a face full of flesh and expressionless face, known as Elder Qi.

"Senior, I want ten Essence Pills, this is my identity token!"

Chu Tian said, took out the identity token and put it on the counter.

Elder Qi picked up the identity token and looked down.

A trace of coldness suddenly flashed across his face, and he threw the identity token casually on the counter.

Chu Tian was stunned when he saw this, and didn't understand what was going on.

"Senior, I..."

Chu Tian was about to speak, but was interrupted rudely by the other party.

"Boy, you don't have enough points at all. Go earn enough points first, and then buy the Essence Pill!"

Elder Qi said coldly.

"Not enough points?"

Chu Tian was stunned instantly.

There were a full 5,200 points in his identity token!

Among all the outer courtyard disciples, it was enough to rank in the top five, but the other party actually said that he didn't have enough points!

This was clearly a lie!

"Elder Qi, that's not right. Although the Essence Pill is very expensive, I remember that it seems to be 400 points per pill. Chu Tian's points should be enough to buy ten Essence Pills!"

Bai Chi next to him spoke in a suspicious voice.

"The price has increased!"

Elder Qi spoke, still with a dead face.

"The price has increased?"

Chu Tian was stunned.

Is there such a thing as a price increase in the academy?

"How many points are there for one now?"

Bai Chi beside him asked curiously.

Elder Qi replied indifferently: "Six hundred!"

Hiss!

The three people's faces changed drastically, and they almost took a breath of cold air at the same time.

From four hundred points, it suddenly increased to six hundred points!

Damn, this increase is too scary!

"When did it increase?"

Chu Tian's face was a little ugly, but he still asked.

"It just increased today!"

Elder Qi replied confidently.

When Chu Tian heard it, he instantly understood that the fat-faced Elder Qi in front of him was probably deliberately making things difficult for him.

But Chu Tian racked his brains and couldn't figure out when he had offended the other party!

After all, this was the first time the two met!

"Senior, this is the first time we meet. I have never offended you before. Can I..."

Chu Tian spoke patiently, hoping to exchange for the Essence Pill smoothly.

Bang!

Before Chu Tian finished speaking, Elder Qi slammed his palm heavily on the counter, and the entire Pill Hall fell silent instantly.

"Little bastard, are you fucking deaf? The price of the Essence Pill has increased today. Didn't you hear it? You don't have enough points!"

Elder Qi yelled.

Chu Tian's face suddenly darkened.

The other party openly called him a little bastard, which was simply too much!

"Mr. Qi, why did the price increase when others bought it before, but it increased when I bought it today? You lied openly and cheated points. Do you still have any shame?"

Chu Tian asked loudly.

"Openly lying and cheating points, is that really the case?"

"Hehe, isn't it obvious? The price didn't increase yesterday, but it has increased today!"

"Yes, the price of Essence Pill should still be 400 points, and the extra 200 points went directly into Elder Qi's own pocket!"

"Hiss... Damn it, this is too dark, Elder Qi is really shameless!"

There was a whispering around.

Feeling the contemptuous eyes from all directions, Elder Qi felt uncomfortable all over, and his face suddenly turned as ugly as pig liver!

The current price of Essence Pill is indeed still 400 points.

The reason why he falsely reported 600 points, in addition to deliberately making things difficult for Chu Tian, ​​was also to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

Now that Chu Tian asked him in public, his little thoughts were immediately exposed to the public.

After a breath, he grabbed Chu Tian's identity token and threw it to the ground, angrily saying: "Six hundred points, take it or leave it!"

Chu Tian looked gloomy, bent down to pick up his identity token, and wiped off the dust on it.

Che Xingbo and Bai Chi were both stunned.

At the same time, they also felt inexplicable.

Chu Tian and Elder Qi were obviously meeting for the first time, why did Elder Qi treat Chu Tian so rudely and arrogantly!

In the Pill Hall, many outer courtyard disciples also pointed fingers at Elder Qi, thinking that Elder Qi's behavior was not only shameless, but also excessive.

"Humph!"

Being despised by everyone, Elder Qi's face was burning, but he still gritted his teeth and snorted angrily.

At this moment, Luo Yuanwen suddenly appeared from nowhere and came to the counter.

Beside him were Li Cangyu and Li Gaoda.

The strange thing was that both of them were staring at Chu Tian at this moment, looking gloating.

"Hey, why is Elder Qi so angry? Who angered you?"

Luo Yuanwen didn't seem to see Chu Tian, ​​but asked Elder Qi with concern.

The moment he saw Luo Yuanwen, Elder Qi immediately changed his face to a smile.

His face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like a chrysanthemum blooming in autumn.

"It turned out to be Young Master Luo. Just now, there was a little bastard named Chu Tian who wanted to buy ten Essence Pills, but his points were not enough, and he wanted to make trouble."

Elder Qi said with a grim smile.
