Chapter 3: The Unicorn Dragon King
Chapter 3 Unicorn Dragon King
“This gentleman, we have contract loans and life and death loans at Silver Mountain Money Bank, may I ask which one you want to borrow?”
“Life and death loan it is.”
Zhou Xuan said it lightly.
A contractual loan was a normal loan, and if you didn’t pay it back when it was overdue, you would have to accept the arrangements of the Silver Mountain Money Bank to do the dirty work as well as the black work until it was paid back.
The life and death loan is not the same, if you can’t pay it back after the due date, then the status after the due date is a slave, the kind that can’t be turned over for the rest of your life.
But for Zhou Xuan, the game is just a game, if you can’t pay it back, you can just reopen the file and be done with it.
The fellow inside the window sniffed, sized up Zhou Xuan and nodded, “How much do you want to borrow?”
“What’s the upper limit?”
“I’ve looked at your identity jade, sir, you are an outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the upper limit of the Life and Death Loan for an outer disciple can be borrowed at one hundred lower grade spirit stones and for a maximum of one year, with an interest rate of ten percent.”
“That is to say, borrow one hundred lower grade spirit stones for one year, and after one year you need to return one hundred and ten lower grade spirit stones.”
“What do you think of my looks?”
The money shop fellow was confused for a moment, then he looked Zhou Xuan up and down and sighed in admiration, “Your Excellency is jade-like.”
“I know that your Silver Mountain Money Bank evaluates a person in every aspect, I am handsome in appearance, my body is straight and my temperament is outstanding, I wonder if I can be credited more?”
If the Life and Death Loan was overdue, then Zhou Xuan’s life was that of the Silver Mountain Money Bank.
And Zhou Xuan’s figure and appearance would definitely attract those female cultivators who had studied puppetry, but of course there were many other uses besides that.
Thinking about this, the money shop fellow nodded, “I can raise your loan amount to 150 Lower Grade Spirit Stones for you, my lord.”
“200 pieces.”
After some haggling, it was finally settled at 180 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
The money shop fellow then took out three loan deeds for the Life and Death Loan.
Zhou Xuan signed his name on all three deeds, and also pressed his thumbprint, so that the contract of life and death loan with Silver Mountain Money Bank was considered established.
The money shop fellow made a backup copy of Zhou Xuan’s identity jade tag, and after that, he also allowed Zhou Xuan to leave a drop of his essence blood in the wooden vase that he provided.
If Zhou Xuan disappeared after the overdue period, the Silver Mountain Money Bank could use this drop of blood to track him down, and it was foreseeable that the Silver Mountain Money Bank would definitely not be kind to him at that time.
Leaving the Silver Mountain Money Mansion, Zhou Xuan had an extra bag of spirit stones in his hands, as well as a loan contract.
After collecting it, he didn’t go back but passed by the residential area and quickly arrived at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Task Hall.
Of course, the Task Hall in Ten Thousand Swords City wasn’t the headquarters, the Task Hall headquarters was on the Sect’s main peak, and the Task Halls on the other Sword Peaks and within the city were all branch halls.
Because Ten Thousand Swords City was too big, the Task Hall had sub halls in every area, not far from the outer disciple’s living area, a sub hall was set up, the purpose was naturally to allow the outer disciples to come and receive tasks in close proximity.
When he arrived at the task hall, he could see that the entrance to the task hall was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples coming and going, and there were also some inner disciples wearing ink and green uniforms coming to hand in their tasks.
Ten Thousand Swords City alone produced a lot of quests every day, enough to keep the outer disciples busy, not to mention the fact that within the range of Ten Thousand Swords City’s dominion, there were also many quests issued by the Mortal Dynasties every day.
Of course, this kind of task is generally the inner disciples to pick up, the outer disciples have not yet introduced qi into the body to enter the qi gathering realm, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect generally do not allow the outer disciples to leave too far away.
Zhou Xuan naturally wasn’t here to pick up a mission, he wasn’t even at the 1st level of Body Forging right now, he was still a mortal.
First, he strolled around in front of the various categorized quests, and after seeing the purchase and sale prices of the five-colored flowers, he was already aware of them.
Coming to the counter, he arched his hand, “This senior brother, senior brother has come to post a quest.” Upon hearing this, this Task Hall disciple handed Zhou Xuan a pen and paper, “Fill it out and give it to me.”
The task that Zhou Xuan was going to release was to acquire the Five Colored Flowers, from what he had just seen, at this stage, the selling price of the Five Colored Flowers was 1.2 Spirit Coins/each, the acquisition price was 0.8 Spirit Coins/each, fluctuating around 0.4 Spirit Coins, and he was directly taking an intermediate value of 1 Spirit Coin/each to make the acquisition.
After filling out the mission form, Zhou Xuan handed it over to the mission hall disciple, and incidentally handed over all the 180 lower grade spirit stones that he had just loaned to the other party.
Receiving the bag of Spirit Stones, the Task Hall disciple counted them, then took Zhou Xuan’s Identity Jade Tag and Residence Key and looked at them, writing down Zhou Xuan’s information and registering it while speaking, “For every day that a Grade D Acquisition Task hangs, a fee of 1 Spirit Coin will be charged, which will automatically be deducted from the Spirit Stones that you handed over to me.”
Zhou Xuan nodded without objection.
The Five Colored Flower was one of the secondary materials for refining the Bone Forging Pill, and the price fluctuated right around 0.8 to 1.2 Spirit Coins, but of course, if one looked for cultivating clans specializing in planting the Five Colored Flower to acquire it in large quantities, they would definitely have a discount.
Unfortunately, he only had 180 Lower Grade Spirit Stones right now, and when converted to Middle Grade Spirit Stones, he couldn’t even reach two, so going door to door to acquire them would be a self-inflicted humiliation.
Receiving the Task Hall voucher, Zhou Xuan quickly exited the Task Hall, and after finding an inn to have a meal, it was already evening.
“Grandpa, come and play~”
Just as he was about to return to the living area, the voice of Burnt Kun rang in his ears, he looked up to see a group of flamboyantly dressed women cocking their orchids and commanding handkerchiefs to solicit customers.
This classic scene made Zhou Xuan’s heart flutter.
Looking at the plaque, Hundred Flower House.
The thoughts in his mind turned less than a circle, Zhou Xuan made a decision, he walked straight towards the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Building, as soon as he approached there was a Turtle Eunuch to receive him, seeing the Outer Sect Disciple’s uniform on Zhou Xuan, that pleasing expression was even more sycophantic, “Your Excellency hasn’t been here in a number of days, my elder sisters and younger sisters have long since teared up and missed each other so much… …”
“I am here for the first time, don’t slander me.”
“Gongzi this kind of man, in the ten thousand swords city is simply one in a million, perhaps which sister sister somewhere over Gongzi one side, then day and night thinking of trance muttering, only looking forward to Gongzi pro fortune it.”
However, Zhou Xuan’s purse does not eat this set, directly waving his hand, “I came to Hundred Flowers House to find your ‘mother’.”
“Looking for me?” Not far away, a gorgeous looking woman came slowly, once she saw Zhou Xuan, she couldn’t help but light up her eyes, and laughed gently, “What a handsome gentleman, with your looks and stature, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to find a woman to fall in love with you? Why did you come to our Hundred Flowers House? Could it be that one of my daughters is causing trouble outside during the day, sir and I will make sure that I don’t kill her…”
Zhou Xuan sighed as if the service industry are all chatterboxes, he hadn’t even said a few words yet, the opposite side just kept talking, he hurriedly interrupted, “This mom, let’s take a step to talk.”
“Good.”
The beautiful woman brought Zhou Xuan to an unoccupied room, a slight smile, with a charming into the bone marrow demeanor, “Gongzi, my surname is Xu, you call me Xu mother is good, I do not know what Gongzi have to do to find me?”
From Zhou Xuan’s demeanor, the other party should not be looking for trouble, which caused Xu Mama’s emotions, which were still slightly tense just now, to ease down.
“Mama Xu, what do you think of my looks?”
“Suave and beautiful!” Although she was surprised by this question, Mama Xu was genuinely praising, she boldly sized up Zhou Xuan, the more she looked, the more she liked him, those flirtatious eyes were about to be stretched, she came forward, “Could it be that you like older ones, my lord? It’s not as if my slave is incapable…”
“It seems that I have fallen into your eyes, Mother Xu.” Zhou Xuan laughed and spoke directly, “I just entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect today, and I found that apart from clothing, food, housing and transportation, all that I need to purchase pills are Spirit Coins and Spirit Stones, so I can only come up with this plan… I don’t know if you, Mother Xu, have a channel that would allow me to earn some Spirit Coins and Spirit Stones?”
Mother Xu froze for a moment when she heard this, then she gave Zhou Xuan a deep look and said with a meaningful meaning, “Although you have outstanding looks, but if you want to be a stilt walker, looks are not the main thing, it also depends on whether you are skillful or not, otherwise, if you can’t make those ladies strengthen their bodies under the stilt walker, wouldn’t that be a joke to the others?”
“Then mom Xu look, how about my hands!”
As soon as the words fell, she saw Zhou Xuan directly show her hands without saying a word.
Mama Xu did not expect Zhou Xuan to be so unqualified, and could not help but take a step back in fear, but her eyes could not stop taking a fixed look.
This look, could not help but hiss, sucked in a mouthful of cool air, dumbfounded, ”My God! It’s actually the legendary… Mo Yun Sacred Hand.”
