Other than Senior Sister Qingyue, there were three other male disciples. One of the disciples wore a black gold silk robe and a black jade feather crown on his head. His face was handsome, but his expression carried a sense of pride and arrogance that came from his bones. His cultivation was clearly the highest in the group, and he faintly had a condescending and superior temperament.
A disciple dressed in green and black stood beside him, bowing and scraping. His face had the appearance of a dog servant, and the flattering expression on his face made people who saw it feel a chill. The person who had ridiculed Chu Chen was him.
Other than the two who looked like master and servant, there was also an inconspicuous skinny disciple sitting in a corner, as if he was afraid of offending someone.
Chu Chen ignored the dog servant and walked straight to Senior Sister Qingyue. He said apologetically, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry for making you wait."
"It's nothing." Senior Sister Qingyue nodded. She glanced at the man in the black gold silk robe and frowned. "This is Senior Brother Li Tian."
The handsome man in the black gold silk robe smiled coldly and turned his face to the side, as if he disdained to talk to Chu Chen.
"This is Junior Brother Fang Yong."
The disciple smiled meaningfully. "Junior Brother Chu, it's an honor to meet you."
Chu Chen nodded and ignored the harshness in his words. He looked at the skinny and sickly youth.
Qingyue's expression eased a little. "This is Junior Brother Liu Bo. Junior Brother Liu is very talented in picking herbs. I'm afraid we'll have to rely on him for most of this trip."
"You flatter me." Liu Bo nodded and shrank to the side.
"Junior Sister Qingyue."
The arrogant Li Tian finally turned around and sized Chu Chen up a few times. His eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of contempt and disgust. "The main reason I'm going to the Grand Frozen Snow Mountain this time is to collect the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus. I don't need to tell you how dangerous the journey is. Even though we're all Spirit Water Realm cultivators, we'll still encounter danger. If we bring this Junior Brother who's not even at the Spirit Water Realm, we won't be able to take care of him in time. "
"That's right, Senior Qingyue." When Fang Yong heard this, he immediately agreed, "The snow mountain is a dangerous place. We can't even protect ourselves. If we carry such a burden, I'm afraid it will be a big problem. If we encounter any danger, I'm afraid it'll be troublesome. "
"Enough!"
Qing Yue's face turned cold as she glared at Fang Yong. "I'll take care of Junior Brother Chu. You guys just have to take care of yourselves. If you have any objections, we can go our separate ways now!"
Being interrupted in front of everyone, Fang Yong choked for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. His face suddenly became gloomy. Just as he was about to say something, Li Tian stopped him with a look.
It could be said that Qing Yue was the outer sect disciple who had been to the Tai Hanshan Snow Mountain the most times. She had once picked a few herbs with Elder Lingxin, so she was the most familiar with the situation. That was why Li Tiancai had asked her to form a team.
"The Demon Beasts of the Grand Frozen Snow Mountain run amok. It's very dangerous. If we can't save you in time, please don't blame us, Junior Brother Chu." Li Tian sneered as he looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Since everyone is here, let's go." Qing Yue confirmed the status of the preparations with everyone one last time before leading the group towards the sect's Spirit Beast Hall.
The Tai Hanshan Snow Mountain was located more than seven hundred miles north of the Biquan Celestial Mountain. It was such a long distance that even the sect's disciples would have to spend a few days to run over. Therefore, in order to buy time, they had to ride the sect's special flying Spirit Beasts.
In general, the sect would have a special Spirit Beast Hall. Some flying Spirit Beasts with fast speed and stamina were kept in captivity. They were specially used for riding when they needed to go far away to deal with matters. These Spirit Beasts didn't have much combat power, but they had good endurance and could easily fly long distances. They were much faster than the carriages in the secular world.
The sect's Spirit Beasts couldn't be ridden by the disciples for free. Every time they rode a Spirit Beast, they had to pay the sect a corresponding amount of Spirit Stones. Therefore, in a sense, the Spirit Beast Hall was an important source of income for the sect.
Chu Chen's group consisted of exactly five people, no more and no less. If they rode a Spirit Beast, they would have to pay a Spirit Stone for a round trip. This price was extremely expensive for an outer sect disciple.
"Junior Martial Brother Chu, this is your first time riding such an expensive flying Spirit Beast, right? The riding fee is one-fifth of a Spirit Stone per person. We can pay for Senior Martial Sister Qing Yue's Spirit Stones, but you have to think of a way yourself. Don't tell me you want to freeload off Senior Martial Sister Qing Yue again? "Fang Yong said sarcastically.
Qing Yue was unhappy and was about to flare up when Chu Chen said with a smile, "It is indeed my first time riding a Spirit Beast, so I will pay for the Spirit Stones this time. I can't compare to Senior Martial Brother Fang, but I have Senior Martial Brother Li to rely on."
When they arrived at the payment area, Chu Chen didn't hesitate. He only got fifty Spirit Stones from selling the "Thunder Grass". Chu Chen directly took out one of the Spirit Stones to pay for the journey. If it was in the past, he wouldn't be willing to do so. In the past, he probably wouldn't be able to earn a single Spirit Stone even if he worked hard for a year.
However, now that he had the ancient Immortal Mountain as an endless treasure trove, Chu Chen was able to accept it. Moreover, in order to not let others look down on Senior Martial Sister Qing Yue, he paid for the entire journey without hesitation.
Fang Yong's expression became very ugly. He originally wanted to mock Chu Chen, but Chu Chen was so generous that he was mocked for relying on Li Tian.
Li Tian still sneered and didn't say a word.
On the other hand, Liu Bo was a little embarrassed when he saw this scene. "How could I let Junior Martial Brother Chu spend so much money."
"Haha, we are all fellow disciples. Senior Martial Brother Liu, you don't have to be so polite." Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder.
Seeing that this group of people was so straightforward, the disciple in charge of the Spirit Beast Hall was also very straightforward. After a while, he brought out a huge Griffin. This Griffin had the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle. The adult Griffin was more than twenty feet long, with a wide back. Its flying speed was fast and stable, and it was one of the most popular flying mounts.
Even if five people sat on the back of the huge Griffin, it was still spacious. Accompanied by a whistling sound, its huge wings flapped fiercely. The huge Griffin suddenly soared into the sky and flew towards the north.
"Do you have enough money? One spirit stone is not a small amount. " Taking advantage of the huge airflow caused by the Griffin's flight, Senior Martial Sister Qing Yue lowered her voice and whispered into Chu Chen's ear. "How about I pay for you?"
"Don't worry, Senior Martial Sister." Chu Chen blinked his eyes. "Following Elder Lingxin, are you afraid of not having enough money to spend? Haha — "
Qing Yue rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything else. As the Elder with the best alchemy skills in the Sect, Elder Lingxin's wealth was well known throughout the Sect.
For example, Elder Lingxin spent more than a hundred spirit stones to buy Chu Chen's Purple Cloud Grass and refined 18 Purple Cloud Gold Pills. Each Purple Cloud Gold Pill could be sold for more than a hundred spirit stones. It was equivalent to her earning nearly two thousand spirit stones with just one stalk of Purple Cloud Grass!
In fact, the income of a Pharmacist was closely related to their alchemy skills. Elder Lingxin's alchemy skills were perfect, and one stalk of Purple Cloud Gold Pills could be refined into 18 Purple Cloud Gold Pills. If it were someone else, perhaps an entire stalk of Purple Cloud Grass would not be able to refine a single pill. After all, alchemy was all about the success rate. If one failed, then the whole furnace of pills would be wasted. The investment of more than a hundred spirit stones would be wasted.
It was precisely because Elder Lingxin's alchemy skills were incomparably profound that the success rate and efficiency of alchemy were extremely high. For the same amount of medicinal herbs, others could only refine one pill, but she could refine more than ten pills, which brought her great wealth. This also led to Elder Lingxin's wealth.
