Chapter 2317: Chapter 2318: Habits Die Hard, the Dragon’s Nature Persists (First Update)
"Damn, why do we have to pay again? This Ghost Needle Divine Doctor must be crazy for money!" Su Feijing said almost frantically.
It’s worth noting that along their journey, they passed at least four or five toll booths, and each one charged for different things.
The variety of creative names was simply eye-opening for Su Feijing.
He thought that would be enough, but he didn’t expect to have to pay again before reaching the cottage, which naturally made Su Feijing a bit upset.
But at this point, he could only grumble a few words before obediently taking out a dozen Spirit Crystals and placing them before the light curtain, waiting for the door to open.
Normally, that’s how it went; pay money and get through.
But this time was different, because after paying the Spirit Crystals, the light curtain did not change at all.
"What’s going on?" Su Feijing widened his eyes in astonishment.
At this moment, the light curtain shimmered golden, then transformed into two large words.
"Not enough!"
Su Feijing: "..."
Then Su Feijing went frantic once again.
"Not enough? What is enough then? Can you just tell me straight? Don’t keep wasting time like this!"
As if hearing his words, the light curtain flickered again, then a price list appeared.
Yes!
It’s a price list.
Clearly written on it:
"5,000 Spirit Crystals for entry, 50,000 Spirit Crystals for cottage access, 500,000 Spirit Crystals for apprentice-level treatment, 5,000,000 Spirit Crystals for entry-level physician treatment, 50,000,000 Spirit Crystals for expert-level physician treatment..."
And so on. At the bottom, the four large characters Ghost Needle Divine Doctor are prominently displayed, but the price behind them is a string of question marks.
Looking at this dazzling price list, the Su family’s members collectively fell into a state of shock.
Su Feijing muttered dazedly: "Damn, aren’t they crazy for money? Who goes around carrying tens of millions of Spirit Crystals?"
In fact, for a wealthy family like the Su family, tens of millions of Spirit Crystals could be taken out, but no one would carry such a massive fortune around.
Even with a Space Ring, it’s impossible, because tens of millions of Spirit Crystals are no small amount; stacked, they could be taller than a small mountain.
Just as Su Feijing finished speaking, the light curtain shimmered again, revealing a line of small characters.
"Various treasures can also be converted to Spirit Crystals, calculated at a discount of 20%!"
Su Feijing’s mouth twitched a few times, then he whispered to the Great Elder beside him, "Are you sure this Ghost Needle Divine Doctor isn’t crazy for money?"
The Great Elder smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don’t know either!"
But Su Feijing soon perked up.
Because he suddenly thought of something, given the high entry fee, Xue An and Yue Qinghuan absolutely could not afford it.
In fact, if they hadn’t been prepared, they might also be stopped outside this light curtain.
With this thought, he couldn’t help but turn from anger to joy, and then smugly turned to look at Xue An and Yue Qinghuan, wanting to see their expressions.
But he found that Xue An’s face showed no trace of discouragement, rather he had a faint smile as he looked at the text on the light curtain, as if he was pondering something.
This made him slightly suspicious for a moment, but then he was relieved.
He must have been scared silly by the astronomical number of Spirit Crystals!
Thinking this, he smiled and instructed, "As long as there’s a price, take out the prepared things!"
"Yes!"
The Great Elder stepped forward, carefully took out a Jade Slip from his chest, and began to press the numbers on it.
Each press caused the runes on the Jade Slip to flicker.
Quickly, the Jade Slip transformed into a beam of light, from which a Jade Casket fell out.
The Great Elder cautiously opened it, revealing a magnificent herb infused with Spiritual Energy.
The shape of the herb was indistinct because it was shrouded in mist, and its form seemed to be constantly changing.
As it changed, a captivating fragrance spread.
Just smelling it would make one feel like ascending to a celestial realm.
Su Feijing proudly said, "This herb was obtained by our Su family from the Barbaric Wilderness in the Sky Beyond the Skies through an extremely fortuitous chance. Even the most knowledgeable pharmacists don’t know its origin, but the abundant Spiritual Energy it contains is impressive. Today we bring it as a gift to the Divine Doctor for an audience!"
Although these words were directed at the light curtain, the sense of bragging almost overflowed.
Yue Qinghuan’s expression changed slightly.
She didn’t know what to do next.
She didn’t have millions of Spirit Crystals to offer, should they just head back?
But seeing Xue An’s demeanor, it seemed he was not planning to leave!
Just as she was confused, Su Feijing personally placed the herb before the light curtain.
The light curtain swallowed the herb, and then the light sparkled, soon showing a line of text.
"Celestial Herb, equivalent to eighty-two million one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals!"
With this number appearing, the curtain slowly revealed an entrance, followed by sound.
"Please enter!"
But Su Feijing did not rush in, instead he turned back proudly to look at Yue Qinghuan.
"Miss Bing, as you can see, to meet the Ghost Needle Divine Doctor you must pay a huge amount of wealth. I bet he can’t afford it. Would you like to join me in meeting the Divine Doctor? Perhaps I can spare some money to invite the Divine Doctor back for you!"
Su Feijing’s words were filled with temptation.
But Yue Qinghuan was unmoved, she had already let go of unrealistic hope, and said calmly.
"Thank you for your kindness, but no need. If fate doesn’t allow a meeting, then we’ll go back!"
Then she turned to Xue An and said, "Let’s go!"
She turned and started to walk away.
But Xue An did not move, instead chuckling, "Go? Why leave?"
"Hmm?" Yue Qinghuan blinked, a bit confused.
Rejected, Su Feijing couldn’t help but sneer, "If not leaving, then what? Can you give fifty million Spirit Crystals?"
Xue An shook his head, "Of course not!"
"So that’s it, if you can’t afford it, what are you hanging around here for?" Su Feijing taunted.
Xue An was not angry, instead, he grinned and said, "Who said you have to pay to go in?"
Su Feijing was bewildered, "Otherwise? Do you intend to break in?"
Xue An ignored his mocking, only raised his head slightly, looking at the light curtain with a faint smile, "They say habits die hard, turns out a dragon’s nature is the same!"
"Even in the Sky Beyond the Skies, you can’t change your little quirk for money, can you, Ao Shu?"
