Chapter 559 – The Gentleman’s Persuasion
Shi Yi didn’t seem to have any good friends in the academy. Most of the disciples who were watching also didn’t want to say much to such an ugly person, so from beginning to end, no one tried to dissuade Shi Yi.
Moments later, Shi Yi asked with some embarrassment, “I don’t have so many contribution points in my hand, only 7,000. Can I pay the deposit first? A few days later, my contribution points for the next year will be sent to me. When the time comes, I’ll give you the rest together, okay?”
In fact, Yan Tianhen didn’t intend to truly make things difficult for Shi Yi in the contribution points area. He was already willing to do his best to help Shi Yi just because Shi Yi was willing to believe him.
Yan Tianhen suggested, “Why don’t we do this? You can give me a 30% deposit first, and then you can pay me the rest of the balance after you get better.”
A trace of pleasant surprise flashed through Shi Yi’s eyes. “Okay.”
Shi Yi took out the leaf card and gave 3,000 contribution points to Yan Tianhen. “I live in the small hut next to the East Courtyard’s demonic beast park. If you want to find me, you can find me there. I will usually be there if no accident occurs.”
Qi Feiqing interjected, “What if there is an accident?”
Shi Yi said, “Then I will be inside the demonic beast park.”
Qi Feiqing, “…” It looks like this elder martial brother Shi Yi’s range of activity truly only exists near the demonic beast park.
After Shi Yi left, many people were pointing fingers at him; most of them said that he was stupid, to have actually sent out such a large amount of contribution points so easily and casually. Some said he was really grasping at straws here. He dared to find any random person to treat his illness. He really was drunk.
After Shi Yi left, Yan Tianhen decided to close the booth for the day.
Today, Shi Yi suddenly gave him a flash of inspiration. As the saying went, “This store won’t open for three years, but when it opens, it will have made enough money at once to close for three more years”. If he could specially resolve dubious or hard-to-treat illnesses for people, or only focus on one person at a time, he would earn more money and would also have an easier time himself. At least, there would be no need to send people here to look after the booth every day.
Yan Tianhen originally wanted to take both quality and quantity, but now it seemed that in the current situation, it was impossible to have both.
After closing the booth, Gu Ruyu asked, “Are you sure that your SIlver Frost Poison Pill can treat the extreme poison on his face? Looking at the situation on his face, I am afraid that the toxins have accumulated for a long time, not to mention the fact that those gentlemen in the academy aren’t merely decorations either. Dean Wan is still looking after Shi Yan, so how could he not have tried to have alchemists refine pills to remove Shi Yi’s poison for him?”
Yan Tianhen said with profound meaning, “That’s why you should’ve heard my words just now. The medicinal pill I want to use is called the Silver Frost Poison Pill. This is a poison pill. These alchemists in our sect have a common feature — that is, they have already made a great reputation for themselves. They are already solid Pill Saints, and they will not easily accept tasks that they’re uncertain about. Once they mess up, their reputation will be damaged. What’s more, this Silver Frost Poison Pill is a poison pill. What I meant by removing the poison is that it’s only theoretical. It has never been tested on a living person before. Even if those Pill Saints can think of using this kind of poison pills, they dare not casually try it, for fear of hurting people.”
Qi Feiqing was thoughtful and clapped his hands together. “Do you count as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?”
Gu Ruyu said coldly, “I think he is tired of living. He dares to accept any job and earn money from anybody.”
Although the academy had poisonous spiritual plants, strict control was taken to ensure that students did not abuse their use. Not every random person could get it easily. If he wanted to buy them, it would take some effort.
Gu Ruyu paused, then looked at Yan Tianhen and asked, “Who are you going to ask to buy them?”
Yan Tianhen said, “Huarong Sword Immortal.”
Gu Ruyu gave him a deep look, “Why bother him with such a trifling matter?”
Yan Tianhen said very seriously, “This kind of thing is not trifling. If you can help me get it, of course, I can also ask you, but the academy has regulations that freshmen can’t come forward to buy poison pills. Those inside the academy with a credit rating lower than Grade A cannot buy Level 6 or above spiritual plants. Yan Huanyu can buy it, but don’t tell me that you want me to go ask him.”
Qi Feiqing said, “That’s impossible. We are not on the same side as him.”
Gu Ruyu frowned slightly. “I can ask someone to get it. You might as well wait for me for a few days.”
Yan Tianhen smiled. “Forget it, we might as well be honest with each other. If I wanted to see Huarong Sword Immortal, I could always find all kinds of excuses. Why waste your thoughts worrying over this?”
Gu Ruyu suddenly stopped. “I just don’t fucking want to collect your corpse one day!”
After saying that, Gu Ruyu unsheathed his sword and flew away on it, not even leaving any time for the other two to respond.
Yan Tianhen originally planned to catch up, but suddenly a group of disciples from the supervision team emerged around him. They shouted while riding their swords, “You can’t fly on your sword inside the courtyards. The disciple in front, stop immediately, otherwise we will not be polite!”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
He quietly put back the magic treasure that he had already set up.
Qi Feiqing sighed and spoke to Yan Tianhen, “Ah Hen, indeed, you have great skills. To think that you were able to infuriate Gu Ruyu to this degree.”
Yan Tianhen rubbed his nose. “I’m not, I didn’t. I don’t know.”
Qi Feiqing asked in confusion, “But why does he care so much about such matters? In fact, I think Huarong Sword Immortal is not bad. At least you have a good relationship with him, and you have someone looking after you in the courtyard. But why would Ruyu have this kind of reaction? It’s like his wife is cheating on him while he’s away…”
Having said that, Qi Feiqing’s expression became strange.
“Ah Hen, don’t tell me that Ruyu likes you–”
“He’s not, He didn’t, don’t you make random guesses!” Yan Tianhen immediately denied thrice. “Our relationship is an innocent one.”
Qi Feiqing grinned twice and pinched his chin, “That’s hard to say ah. He’s overreacting a little. Ah Hen, the more I think about it now, the more I feel that he has ulterior motives for you.”
Yan Tianhen sighed, “If that’s the case, then I can only say that honourable me is too stunning of a beauty, and even Gu Ruyu, who had beheaded thousands of people, fell to his knees beside my trousers. Alas, there are too many suitors. It feels troublesome just thinking about it.”
Qi Feiqing was speechless. After a moment, he turned and started walking away.
Yan Tianhen shouted from the back, “Hey, hey, hey, why are you running?”
Qi Feiqing didn’t even look back as he replied, “I’m afraid I’ll catch a contagious disease from you and become too narcissistic, so I’ll leave first.”
Yan Tianhen, “…..”
Yan Tianhen muttered, “These days, even the truth is not allowed to be told. Truly, people can only listen to false lies, but can’t listen to others telling the truth.”
……..
Yan Tianhen went straight to Little Penglai.
On Little Penglai, Lin Xuanzhi currently had a visitor, so he didn’t take out the soul plate.
“Mr. Li? “Yan Tianhen looked at Mr. Li quite unexpectedly and gave him a Daoist salute.
Looking at Yan Tianhen, Mr. Li added a little meaning to his eyes. “It seems that you have a good relationship with Huarong Sword Immortal.”
Lin Xuanzhi didn’t wait for Yan Tianhen’s response and explained, “He was entrusted to me by my old friend. I met him once several years ago, so naturally, our relationship is better than that of ordinary people.”
Yan Tianhen nodded. “That’s right.”
Mr. Li and Lin Xuanzhi were originally on the cliff outside the abode. When Yan Tianhen came, he sat cross-legged beside Lin Xuanzhi and faced Mr. Li.
Mr. Li sighed. “I see that there are quite a few spiritual herb fields in your place that haven’t been planted with anything, and I think it’s a little wasteful to let them remain unused, which is why I had the idea to help my disciple.”
Lin Xuanzhi said indifferently, “It’s only because Ah Hen hasn’t had time to plant spiritual plants. After a while, these spiritual plant fields will also be used.”
The spiritual plant fields Mr. Li spoke about were located beside a lake on the island. It covered a large area and had fertile soil and rich spiritual Qi. It was also a good place to raise spiritual plants.
It’s just that compared with the soul plate’s space, it was not enough.
In order to avoid suspicion, Yan Tianhen occupied the space of the soul plate, and at the same time planted some spiritual plants in the spiritual herb fields on this island to fool people’s eyes and ears, but his energy was limited, and it was impossible to give attention to both ends, so the outside plants were purely for decoration. Only 10% were planted, and the other spiritual fields were not being used, so it was reasonable for Mr. Li to get ideas about these fields.
When Mr. Li heard this, he asked with some regret, “Is it really impossible to spare even one spiritual plant field for other disciples? After all, he is also a disciple of the East Courtyard. That student is indeed really pitiful.”
Yan Tianhen completely understood Mr. Li’s intention by now. Without waiting for Lin Xuanzhi to speak, he said, “Mr. Li, you’re talking about having Huarong Sword Immortal take out a spiritual field for Tong Zizhu to use, right?”
Mr. Li nodded. “That’s my intention.”
Yan Tianhen was extremely unhappy in his heart. “Why can’t you give him a spiritual herb field to plant in the academy? Even if he can’t afford the contribution points, the academy can still give him special treatment and let him use it for free.”
Mr. Li was a little worried. “You think I didn’t want that? However, the academy has never set such a precedent before. Once the jar is opened from this side, more students will feel that it is unfair, which is not conducive to the harmonious coexistence of students. After all, there are plenty of children from poor families in the academy.”
Yan Tianhen felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he said, “Yin Changge doesn’t have much money either, but he participates in the work-study program. After class every day, he goes to the demonic beast park to look after demonic beasts, and it doesn’t seem like he lacks money. Did Tong Zishu participate in the work-study program?”
Mr. Li shook his head. “No, and the alchemy and craftsmen paths can’t compare to the sword path. You should’ve already experienced the former two. Once you refine pills, you will forget yourself and won’t come out of secluded cultivation for anywhere from 6 or 10 hours to 1 year, or even hundreds of years. Work-study programs require disciples to have a fixed time to do things every day, which is naturally not suitable.”
Yan Tianhen curled his lips, “I don’t care. In any case, Huarong Gege’s place here can’t be stuffed with other people. Even if Huarong Gege is kind and willing to give him a spiritual plant field, I still won’t agree. I don’t like other people’s fields competing with my fields for nutrients.”
Mr. Li felt a headache coming up. He used to think that Yan Tianhen was quite sensible, never put on airs, and got along well with the students. He just didn’t expect for Yan Tianhen’s temper to flare at this moment.
To think that he can even say reasons like “compete for nutrients”. Mr. Li said, “You are both disciples of the Alchemy Division…”
“It’s precisely because we’re both Alchemy Division disciples that we have a competitive relationship.” Yan Tianhen was eager to smear his own name. He confidently said, “These spiritual herb fields were originally given to me to plant, so why should they be given to an outsider? I’m not familiar with him, so I don’t want to plant spiritual plants together with him.”
Mr. Li guided patiently and systematically by asking, “With so many spiritual plant fields, can you plant them all?”
“Even if I can’t take care of them, there is still Huarong Gege. Have you seen that large section over there?” Yan Tianhen stretched out his hand and pointed at the full spiritual plant seedlings on the lakeside. “Huarong Gege planted all those for me.”
Yan Tianhen was immensely proud of himself and even turned to glance at Lin Xuanzhi.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled at him.
Mr. Li suddenly looked dumbfounded. “You actually had Huarong Sword Immortal do such a thing for you? This is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. You’re hoodwinking a precious jade.”
