Chapter 975 – Lend me some Immortal Crystals
Being poked and prodded by Xiao Bai in person, Fu Heng’s face did not have a trace of weakness, and he said with a sincere face.
“Maybe I spoke too profoundly, I will pay attention next time.”
Xiao Bai was genuinely annoyed with him, and worried that Ah Sister would be fooled by his appearances, so she had no choice but to transmit her voice to Xu Chuniang.
“Sister, this person isn’t as good as he says on his lips at all, and he doesn’t really want to teach me the skills of cultivating immortal herbs.
He’s been coming every day for the past few days and constantly inquiring about you, like a piece of dog skin plaster that he can’t shake off, annoying the hell out of me!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it, you go inside first.”
Xiao Bai was relieved, turned around and briskly walked into the stone house, not having to face Fu Heng was just too good to be true.
Seeing this, Fu Heng said what he had already thought of saying.
“Fairy Xu forgive me, it’s not that I’m hiding and refusing to pass on the skills of cultivating immortal grass, it’s just that after observing for a few days, I realized that Xiao Bai’s nature is not very stable, and I’m worried that the skills that I teach him will be tricked by someone who has the intention to cheat him.
If I were to replace him with Immortal Xu, I would definitely teach him everything.”
Xu Chuniang did not wish to speak more with him, and directly refused, “No merit, no need, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the stone house first.”
“Wait!”
Seeing that she directly rejected herself, Fu Heng secretly frowned.
“Is Fairy Xu refusing to believe me? As early as more than two months ago, when I first met Fairy Xu, I felt that Fairy Xu had a good face and wanted to make good karma with you, so why should Fairy Xu reject people?”
Xu Chuniang gave Fu Heng an odd look, “You want to make good karma with me?”
“Precisely.”
Seeing that she didn’t rush back to the house, Fu Heng felt that there was a show, “There are many people in Zhangwei Mountain who have planted Frost Grass, but Xiaobai happened to buy the seeds from me, isn’t this fate?”
“What Immortal Friend Fu said doesn’t seem to make sense.”
Xu Chuniang nodded thoughtfully, “It just so happens that I’ve been in a tight spot lately, and the immortal crystals are somewhat insufficient to spend, since Immortal Friend Fu said that we have fate, why don’t you lend me two thousand immortal crystals to work around for a bit?”
“Two thousand immortal crystals?”
Fu Heng’s eyelids jumped heavily as he looked at Xu Chuniang incredulously and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
“Do you know that two thousand Immortal Crystals, is a huge amount of money?”
He suspected that Xu Chunniang had just come to the Immortal Realm and had no concept of Immortal Crystals at all, which was why she had opened her mouth to borrow two thousand Immortal Crystals.
When he was a Half Immortal, he had worked as a laborer in one of the Spirit Fields, and his monthly wage was only twenty Immortal Crystals.
Except for a few big cities such as Floating Jade City, where the labor price would be slightly higher, most of the places in ZongDongTian were in this market.
Xu Chuniang revealed a hint of doubt, ”Is two thousand immortal crystals a lot? When I first met Elder Gong, I asked him to borrow six hundred Immortal Crystals, and a few days ago, I borrowed another hundred, and since Immortal Friend Fu said that you and I are destined to be together, I should have borrowed more.”
“What, you actually borrowed seven hundred immortal crystals from Gong Lao? Borrowing from Elder Gong has to be paid with interest, you wouldn’t be unaware of that, would you? Seven hundred Immortal Crystals then, a year’s interest alone would be a hundred and four!”
Fu Heng was shocked, but at the same time, she was also a bit bewildered, she just came to the Immortal World and owed so much external debt, how did she dare?
Is she not afraid of not being able to pay it back?
ZongDongTian’s law is very strict, if you don’t pay back the debt, you have to be forced to serve hard labor until the immortal crystals earned by serving hard labor will pay off all the debts.
“Is seven hundred Immortal Crystals a lot? It was spent after buying two quarry chisels and two fur coats.”
Saying that, Xu Chuniang spread her hands helplessly, her tone sincere. “I originally didn’t intend to borrow money from Immortal Friend Fu either, but I really have no choice, if two thousand Immortal Crystals doesn’t work, lending me a thousand first would be fine.
Since the two of us are destined to be together, we don’t have to pay interest right, with this money, I will be able to pay back the money I owe to Elder Gong first.”
Fu Heng’s mood was very complicated, he looked at Xu Chuniang, not knowing what to say for a moment.
There was no way he could borrow the immortal crystals, after decades of drawing from Zongdang Mountain, he had only saved up a thousand or so immortal crystals, how could he lend them all out at once?
How could he lend them all out at once? Not to mention a thousand, even a hundred would not do.
Fu Heng took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions and changed the topic.
“Fairy Xu just said that the immortal crystals borrowed from Gong Lao were used to buy quarrying chisels, so, you guys were able to build such a large stone house in such a short period of time, also because of the quarrying chisels?”
Xu Chuniang nodded her head happily, “Not bad, this quarrying chisel is indeed very useful, I have observed other people quarrying Qinggang stone, not only does it take a lot of immortal qi, but the speed is also slow, with the quarrying chisel it is much more convenient.
Those people can be really stupid, they don’t know how to use the tool when they have it, they still use brute force there, no need to waste time and strength.”
Fu Heng’s breath hitched, he thought at first that the reason why Xu Chuniang and Xiao Bai were able to build the stone house so quickly was because they had spent some immortal crystals to quarry a portion of the Qinggang stone.
After all, Zhangwei Mountain was too cold, and even with fur coats on, it was impossible to stay outside for long periods of time.
Early completion of the stone house is the top priority, spend a few tens of immortal crystals to buy greenoka stone, is also understandable.
It is to see this stone house built big and good, Fu Heng decided Xu Chuniang and Xiaobai these two people quite some money.
I didn’t expect her to be so unaware of the family, spending so much money, bought two stone quarrying chisels that don’t have much use, and the most critical thing is that this immortal crystal is actually borrowed!
Fu Heng thought, this siblings in the ascension before getting a lot of treasures, came to the immortal world after selling those treasures for a lot of immortal crystals, and accidentally learned that Xu Chunniang and Gong old relationship, there is the ability to cut down the snow pines, will move the heart phase and the friendship.
If the other side of his heart, is no better, he married her, the future is also a help.
But he did not expect, the siblings are not only poor, but also owed a large amount of debt, she is to cut the snow pine for a year, may not be able to pay off these immortal crystals.
Seeing Fu Heng’s ever-changing complexion, Xu Chuniang’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, her face still pleading.
“Immortal friend Fu, how have you considered the matter of lending me a thousand immortal crystals? I really need this amount of money, Xiao Bai and I just came to Zhangwei Mountain, and there are still many things we haven’t purchased yet.
When we have more money in hand after a while, we will definitely return the immortal crystals to you.”
Fu Heng was really a bit regretful now, if he had known this, he wouldn’t have wasted his time on these two siblings at all.
His complexion quickly chilled and his tone was hard, “I’m sorry, I don’t have many Immortal Crystals on me, I can’t lend them to you, you find someone else.”
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xu Chuniang’s quick steps.
“Immortal friend Fu, what do you mean by this? You said earlier that you were destined to be with me, that you felt that it was not easy for Xiao Bai and I to come to Zhangwei Mountain for the first time, and that you wanted to help us, could it all be a lie?”
Fu Heng’s face twitched a few times, and in order to quickly get rid of Xu Chuniang’s entanglement, he simply admitted.
“Yes, those words of mine were just words, you don’t have to care, in the future when you see me in Zhangwei Mountain, just pretend that you have never known me as a person.”
After saying that, Fu Heng left without looking back.
Xu Chuniang looked at her disappearing back in the distance and laughed out in pleasure.
