"One … one …"
"Thump, thump, thump, thump." Lin Ray could clearly hear his own heartbeat beating violently.
The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes twitched. His face was filled with the pain of bankruptcy.
"150 million, 150 million. System, are you sure you're not messing with me?"
"You … 150 million? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
Lin Ray came back to his senses. When he heard the price, Lin Ray felt unwell. He froze on the spot as though he had been struck by lightning. His mind was still in a state of confusion.
Previously, he had thought that it would only be a few tens of millions. After all, the most expensive item he had ever bought was only 50 to 60 million.
However … now that the price of the time pestle was revealed, Lin Ray only wanted to slap himself. Why was his mouth so annoying?
Why did he have to say that he was going to buy it? Did he think that he was a tycoon or a local tycoon? Was he crazy?
One hundred and fifty million, plus the previous three hundred million, in total, it would be five hundred million!
Thinking about how he would have to pay off the 500 million in the next year and a few months, Lin Ray had the urge to stab himself several times. It would be best if he could stab himself to death.
In this way, after he died, his debts would be cleared, and he wouldn't be in pain because of the 500 million.
Unfortunately, reality was reality. Now that the 500 million had appeared, Lin Ray's pressure multiplied. He knew that he would have to live for the sake of earning redemption points in the future.
"Hehe, host, take it easy!" The system's voice rang in Lin Ray's ears.
"As the saying goes, pressure is motivation. With pressure, there will be motivation. With the pressure of 500 million, you will understand that you still have to work hard."
Lin Ray was speechless.
He only had one thought about the system, and that was to scram as far away as possible. It would be best if he never heard this voice again.
500 million? What did you think 500 million was? The first thing that came out of his mouth was to cheer him on. I'll throw it. Give me a try. Let's see if you can get rid of the urge to beat someone up.
His mood was extremely bad. Looking at the trident in his storage ring, he felt as if he could see the blood in his heart.
"Bastard, I owe a huge debt for you. If I don't help you this time, I won't be surnamed Lin."
When he thought about Zhu, he realized that all of this was because of Zhu. Therefore, he attributed all of his debts to Zhu, including the other three hundred million.
At this moment, Zhu still did not know that he had inexplicably provoked a miser like Lin Ray. It was precisely because he did not know that he had become a powerful cultivator who was about to work for Lin Ray.
When he came back to his senses and thought about his 150 million, the way he looked at Zhu changed. It was as if Zhu was his 150 million. That burning passion.
"You …"
"Are you alright?"
Lin Ray's burning gaze fell on Zhu's eyes. Suddenly, he frowned and a cold look appeared on his face.
"Damn, don't tell me this guy has that kind of fetish?" Zhu imagined Lin Ray's gaze just now. It was no different from a ferocious beast in heat.
As he thought about it, he involuntarily took a few steps back and distanced himself from Lin Ray.
"You bastard!"
Zhu's actions fell into Lin Ray's eyes. Looking at Zhu's reaction, Lin Ray cursed inwardly. He then raised his head and smiled. "Zhu, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Suddenly, the tone of his voice changed. The initial scorching heat disappeared and was replaced by a strange smile. This smile caused Zhu to feel even more terrified than before.
However, when he thought of the two choices, his heart was inexplicably throbbing. He felt that if he did not choose this time, he might miss out on the greatest opportunity of his life.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Ray. He nodded and replied, "Let's talk about the bad news first. It's better to have the bad news as a foundation!"
Linley nodded, his smile growing even wider. "The bad news is that you have to wait quietly and follow me, because only I have a way to leave this place, and only I can rescue you from this formation."
"Follow you?" Zhu could not help but frown.
For a powerful existence like Zhu, these words were the most taboo words. However, Zhu's temperament was strong and did not change. Instead, he quietly waited for Lin Ray to continue.
"However, the good news is that I've found a way to temporarily suppress this. Although it's only for a short period of time, it's better than being impatient. Furthermore, with some things suppressed, you won't be restricted from entering the Underworld."
"Are you sure?" Zhu became serious.
"I'm sure."
Zhu fell into deep thought when he saw Lin Ray nod in confirmation. He could not understand why this little fellow was so confident.
This little fellow was actually able to find a way to restore his freedom in a short period of time when he was unable to solve the problem.
Although he did not believe it, if it was truly possible, then … the request for the bad news could be considered.
"How about it? Do you want your temporary freedom? If you don't want it, then there's nothing I can do. Earlier, when I investigated the formation, I found out that this formation has already surpassed the limits of the Sheng Stage. Therefore …"
"I want it."
Without waiting for Linley to finish speaking, Zhu hurriedly spoke out her request.
"Alright."
Lin Ray nodded. He was not surprised by Zhu's reply. After all, for someone who had been imprisoned for an unknown period of time, freedom was more important than anything else.
Since this was already a foregone conclusion, Lin Ray did not hesitate. He used his Divine Sense to communicate with the time pestle in his storage ring and pulled it out.
"This is …"
Zhu frowned when he saw the trident that had appeared out of thin air. From the aura emitted from the trident, he could sense that it was a Low Grade Dao Artifact that could not be seen.
"This fellow actually has such a good item on him. Why didn't he take it out earlier?" The aura of the trident made Zhu's heart burn.
A Low Grade Dao Artifact was one of the top treasures even in his possession. Now, it was an item that was extremely difficult to find in the Sacred World.
Lin Ray did not know what Zhu was thinking. At this moment, Lin Ray was confident that he could suppress the formation and release his hired thug.
That's right, a hired thug. He was being treated as a hired thug by Lin Ray. Furthermore, he was an extremely powerful and intimidating hired thug.
The appearance of the Low Grade Dao Artifact caused the formation that was suppressing Zhu to suddenly shake. It appeared to be unstable.
"Is … is it really useful?"
Zhu became excited when he sensed the resistance from the formation. For so many years, he had been hoping for the formation to loosen up so that he could make a breakthrough with his cultivation base.
"Nonsense, that's a hundred and fifty million. How could it not be useful?" Lin Ray could not help but think to himself.
Although this was already a foregone conclusion, he could still feel the pain in his heart. The strength in his heart had not recovered with the passage of time.
