Chapter 292 Taking a Risk, Borrowing Spirit Stones at High Interest Rates
Wu Yuanshan dared not delay and immediately left the crowd, heading towards several different sects.
"Sect Master Wu, do you mean you want to borrow top-grade spirit stones from us?"
An old man looked at Wu Yuanshan in surprise.
"Yes, Elder Qin, I would like to borrow 500,000 top-grade spirit stones for emergency use."
Don't worry, you won't lose out. After this secret realm ends, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to your door, and I'll even add an extra 100,000 yuan as interest!
"Give me an extra 100,000 yuan?"
"Sect Leader Wu, does this mean you haven't given up on those runes and want to buy them all?"
That man wasn't stupid; he had already heard about the runes.
"Elder Qin, I have my own reasons! If you don't believe me, I'll write you an IOU right now!"
Seeing the man hesitate, Wu Yuanshan immediately wrote down an IOU.
"Of course, of course, Sect Leader Wu, you're taking this too seriously!"
The man took the IOU, laughed, and tossed Wu Yuanshan a bag of spirit stones.
Wu Yuanshan sneered inwardly and turned to walk towards the second sect.
This Elder Qin was not an elder from one of the top ten sects, but rather the captain of a sect ranked eighteenth.
However, he was overjoyed after receiving the IOU. Wu Yuanshan was the head of the Qingyuan Sect, and with this IOU, he was not worried that the other party would not acknowledge the debt.
Once the trip to the secret realm is over, I'll be able to collect an extra 100,000 top-grade spirit stones. This is a sure-fire way to make money.
Wu Yuanshan dared not delay and soon arrived at the second sect, where he also borrowed 300,000 top-grade spirit stones.
This sect is ranked outside the top twentieth.
He visited five different places before finally managing to scrape together two million top-grade spirit stones.
Wu Yuanshan teleported back to the large stone platform.
As soon as they arrived, Shen Rugo's childish voice rang out: "I have ten top-grade level four runes here, and these are the last ten! The price is still 120,000 top-grade spirit stones each. Which senior wants them?"
The last ten?
This little bitch is trying to fool people again?
Wu Yuanshan snorted coldly in his heart.
After all, this is Shen Rugo's usual trick.
In fact, it wasn't just Wu Yuanshan, who had just arrived, who thought this way; everyone else was secretly laughing too.
During the time Wu Yuanshan was away, Shen Rugo sold another twenty runes, as if she had an inexhaustible supply of runes in her pocket.
"I'll buy all ten!"
Wu Yuanshan didn't have time to ask Wu Xuemei for a price quote. He shouted loudly and threw the bag of spirit stones over at the same time.
Has that old man gotten spirit stones again after going around in circles?
Shen Rugo was surprised, but also overjoyed.
In total, she has sold fifty top-grade level four runes to other sects, and these runes can at least greatly disrupt Wu Xuemei's plans.
Even if it cannot completely thwart Wu Xuemei's conspiracy, it can still save many geniuses from disaster and cause Wu Xuemei to suffer heavy losses.
"Since this senior has taken them, then these ten runes are..."
Shen Rugo is now making a fortune, and even she herself doesn't know exactly how many spirit stones she has earned.
She's almost sold out of the top-tier level 4 runes in her pocket, and even some of the runes originally reserved for the Star Palace disciples have been sold beyond the quota.
She was planning to pack up and leave. Even if Wu Yuanshan came, she wouldn't care; she would just sell to him.
Before he could finish speaking, a roar suddenly rang out: "Wait! I want these ten runes!"
The roar was like thunder, making everyone's ears ring.
Upon hearing this voice, everyone involuntarily shrank back, even the elders leading the major sects who had not yet left subconsciously took a step back.
The newcomer was none other than Ma Hongren, the Grand Elder leading the team from Misty Peak.
At this moment, his long hair was flying wildly, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
Ma Hongren has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for twenty years, just one step away from stepping into the Divine Transformation stage. As the Grand Elder of Misty Peak, he possesses formidable combat power.
However, what everyone feared was not his strength, but his near-mad state at this moment.
To this day, Ma Hongren has still not found Yan Nantian and has tried every means to contact him without success.
Without a doubt, Yan Nantian has most likely met with misfortune.
This was a bolt from the blue for him, and an even more unbearable blow for the entire Misty Peak.
Yan Nantian is the sect leader's personal disciple and the only candidate to become the next sect leader of Misty Peak. He possesses exceptional talent and is a genius that appears only once in a century. As long as he doesn't die young, he will surely become a Nascent Soul Ancestor in the future.
Even in the second-ranked Misty Peak, there are no more than ten experts at the Nascent Soul stage, and each of them is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. They are either Supreme Elders or former Supreme Sect Leaders.
Each Nascent Soul cultivator represents the true foundation of a sect and signifies its strength.
However, Yan Nantian, such a genius whom the sect leader repeatedly instructed him to protect carefully, disappeared inexplicably.
Ma Hongren was furious, like a raging lion out of control. Everyone avoided him like the plague, fearing they would become his target.
Because they were still searching for Yan Nantian, even though Shen Rugo's side made a big fuss and shocked everyone, only a few disciples from Piaomiao Peak came to watch, and no one made a purchase.
It wasn't until a disciple reported the matter to Ma Hongren that he rushed over without hesitation.
The top-grade level four runes contain the power of the peak Golden Core stage, making them the best way for talented disciples to survive when entering the secret realm. He must buy some for his disciples.
Yan Nantian's disappearance terrified him. He feared that other talented disciples might also suffer accidents, which would place a heavy burden on him.
"Why is this madman here?"
Wu Yuanshan shuddered as he looked at Ma Hongren's frenzied appearance.
He really didn't want to confront Ma Hongren, but for the sake of the runes, he couldn't let go.
Wu Xuemei has already set her sights on the eight talented disciples of Piaomiao Peak. If Ma Hongren were to steal these runes, Wu Xuemei's plan would be even more difficult to implement.
Without hesitation, he raised the price: "121,000 yuan per piece!"
"Sect Leader Wu, what do you mean?"
When Ma Hongren heard Wu Yuanshan raise the price, his eyes widened and he glared at him fiercely.
He was unaware of the bidding rules and thought Wu Yuanshan was deliberately going against him.
"Elder Ma, it's not that I want to compete, but this young friend has set the rule: the highest bidder wins! You need these runes, and so do I!"
Wu Yuanshan frowned and explained slowly.
We must not provoke this raging lion now.
"Okay, 125,000 yuan a piece!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Yuanshan finished speaking, Ma Hongren immediately increased his salary by five thousand yuan.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in shock, but no one dared to utter a sound.
Even if someone wanted to remind Ma Hongren of the rules for pricing, they didn't dare to speak up.
"126,000 yuan!"
Wu Yuanshan cursed inwardly, "Why did this madman have to come at this time of year?!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
Ma Hongren added four thousand yuan directly.
"131,000 yuan!"
"135,000 yuan!"
"136,000 yuan!"
"One hundred and four hundred thousand!"
……
In the blink of an eye, the two took turns bidding, and the price skyrocketed, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Everyone exclaimed inwardly: He's gone mad! This Ma Hongren has really gone mad!
