Chapter 263 New Ways to Make Money
Princess Huo Huo's skill in quickly setting up a barrier with hand seals has already amazed many people.
Moreover, being able to accurately exclude those two people requires absolute mastery of spiritual power.
Those who had previously looked down on her, though still harboring doubts, dared not say anything more.
Everyone wondered to themselves: Just who is this female cultivator?
The two monks who were protecting the saintess saw that everyone else was inside the barrier, while only the two of them were outside.
He sneered at Princess Huohuo and said:
"You coward who's afraid of death, all you're good at is talking. Let's see how long your barrier can last."
Princess Huo Huo stood within the barrier and sneered:
"Don't worry, it should be able to hold out until at least after you two die."
Since you two are so good, keep up the good work outside!
"I imagine that after you die, the Holy Maiden will remember you with gratitude."
As soon as Princess Huo Huo finished speaking, everyone heard a roar.
Looking up, one could see a dark mass of evil spirits surging in from afar like a tidal wave, obscuring the sky and exuding a terrifying aura.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized why Princess Huo Huo had set up the barrier in advance.
Without this barrier, facing such a large number of Yin spirits, their small group would probably have been instantly scattered, or even left with no trace of their bodies.
Princess Huo Huo stood in the center of the barrier, her expression calm, and said softly:
"Everyone, it's safe inside the barrier. Let's begin!"
However, the two people outside the barrier, confident in their superior cultivation, stood back to back at the edge of the barrier.
A disdainful smile played on his face, as if he didn't care about these evil spirits at all.
One of them brandished his longsword, its blade flashing, and sneered, "You mere Yin spirit dare to be so insolent before me!"
The other person formed a hand seal, flames leaping in their palms, and said arrogantly, "Watch me burn them all to ashes!"
However, they underestimated the attraction of a cultivator's soul to spirits.
The spirits initially scattered and charged, but they quickly sensed the rich spiritual energy emanating from the two individuals and swarmed towards them like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
At first, the two were able to manage, but as the number of evil spirits increased, their movements gradually became sluggish, and cold sweat beaded on their foreheads.
"Why are there more and more of these evil spirits?!"
The man's voice trembled slightly, and the longsword in his hand was no longer as sharp as before.
The other person's fire magic was powerful, but the number of evil spirits was too great, and his spiritual power was quickly depleted, causing his face to gradually turn pale.
"No, I can't hold on any longer!" one person finally shouted, his voice filled with fear.
He tried to retreat, but the evil spirits had already surrounded them, completely blocking their escape route.
The swordsman panicked, his swordsmanship became chaotic, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "Princess Huo Huo, save...save us!"
Those inside the barrier felt both relieved and terrified upon witnessing this scene.
If Princess Huo Huo hadn't set up a barrier in advance, they would probably be in the same predicament right now.
Bai He stood beside Princess Huo Huo and whispered, "Junior Uncle, will they... be alright?"
Princess Huo Huo's gaze remained calm as she said indifferently, "It's good to teach them a lesson, so they won't always be so arrogant."
Just when the two were almost in despair, Princess Huo Huo finally raised her hand and waved it. A golden light suddenly shone at the edge of the barrier, instantly forcing back the approaching evil spirits.
The two felt as if they had been granted a pardon and scrambled into the barrier.
He slumped to the ground, panting heavily, his face filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
One of them said tremblingly, "Thank you for saving us, Princess Huo Huo... It was our arrogance that almost caused a disaster."
The other person also lowered their head, their voice weak: "We...we know we were wrong."
"Hey, don't thank me yet. I'm not the selfless gentleman you all think I am. Saving you is something I need to repay."
The two were stunned when they heard this.
But now that she's already inside, how could she dare to kick them out in front of so many people?
So the swordsman cautiously asked:
"What reward?"
"Naturally, it's something on your bodies that can buy your lives. Otherwise, do you think this barrier is free?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else froze in place.
Shouldn't we, as cultivators, unite to resist the evil spirits?
Hiding inside the barrier to kill evil spirits, and you still have to pay?
Just then, Princess Huohuo spoke again.
"Of course, those who come in first will only need three high-grade spirit stones each, and their time will be one hour."
Those from the Blood Demon Sect and the Heavenly Star Sect don't need to pay; as for you two, fifty high-grade spirit stones each.
Upon hearing that they only needed to pay three yuan, the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But when I heard that I could only stay for an hour, I immediately felt it wasn't worth it.
Someone, unconvinced, asked:
"Why can't the Blood Demon Sect and the Heavenly Star Sect refuse to pay? They're also inside the barrier."
Princess Huo Huo first smiled faintly, then roared:
"It's my choice, what's it to you? Stay if you want, get out if you don't."
Those inside the barrier felt a lingering fear upon seeing the disheveled state of the two who had just entered.
Who would dare to go out? Even two Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't hold on; for them to go out would be suicide!
"Bai He, go collect the spirit stones. If you're not going to hand them over, say so beforehand, and I'll kick him out right now."
After Princess Huo Huo finished speaking, she noticed that two more names had appeared on the system.
I was immediately delighted. This method is great! It seems we can continue using it.
It allows you to get people on the list and also makes a quick buck.
This is a really good way to make money, since they can't kill her anyway.
The two people sitting slumped on the ground were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Will Princess Huo Huo dare to throw them both out?
The next instant, the two were moved out.
Seeing a large group of evil spirits surrounding them again, the two were so frightened that they quickly begged for mercy.
"I'll hand it over! I'll hand it over right away!"
After saying that, he took out fifty high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them in.
Princess Huo Huo chuckled and said, "Sorry, fifty was the price just now, it's sixty now."
If it weren't for the fact that the two were about to rush over, they wouldn't have swallowed their shamelessness.
They each threw in ten more coins, and then Princess Huo Huo moved the two of them back in.
Now, more and more spirit stones were handed over to Bai He.
Only after everyone had handed in their documents did they breathe a sigh of relief, and then look enviously at the gates of the Blood Demon Sect and the Heavenly Star Sect.
How come these two sects manage to get all the benefits?
Disciples of these two sects can get a 20% discount on resources by showing their identity tokens, and they're not accepting spirit stones anymore.
Who exactly is behind Wang Lei and Li Wen?
And what about the Shadow Moon Sect, which appeared out of nowhere before? How did it suddenly become popular?
This small sect of fewer than ten people actually covers most of the different types of cultivation, and they are all experts in their respective fields.
It's a pity that the Shadowmoon Sect is no longer accepting members; otherwise, if I had joined the Shadowmoon Sect, I wouldn't be suffering this humiliation now.
