Chapter 151: Broken Cultivation Pod Sells For This Much?
Zhou Qi introduced with great importance: “Cultivation Pods are naturally not expensive; the key is the Spiritual Object Scroll Painting inside the pod that can amplify Spiritual Power Cultivation—that is the core value of the Cultivation Pod.”
“Is that Spiritual Object Scroll Painting very expensive?” Wu Xian frowned.
“Far more than expensive; it’s extremely expensive,” Zhou Qi said solemnly: “Spiritual Object Scroll Paintings are already rare, and those that can amplify Spiritual Power Cultivation are even rarer, with vastly different amplification effects on Spiritual Power Cultivation.
This time, the President ordered a hard-to-get 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】, which greatly improves Spiritual Power Cultivation, has no side effects, and even has the auxiliary effect of calming the mind.”
“Ink Jade Bamboo Forest?” Wu Xian’s expression was odd. “The most expensive Cultivation Club in Yaoyang City?”
“That’s right,” Zhou Qi confirmed: “The one in the core area of New City District is this family’s chain industry. The President spared no expense to invite five 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】 Cultivation Pods, showing great determination.
Other clubs can’t afford to invest in Cultivation Pods of this level.”
Wu Xian didn’t quite get it. “How much improvement does it give to Spiritual Power Cultivation?”
“A full seventy percent,” Zhou Qi solemnly gestured the number seven with his hand. “And that’s just the rubbing version. For the instance version, it’s said to reach over eighty percent or even ninety percent.
Of course, ordinary families don’t even have the qualification to order the instance version.”
“…” Wu Xian was silently speechless.
Only seventy percent after all that?
“How much did Master Sister spend on this Cultivation Pod?” Wu Xian inquired.
Zhou Qi checked the club’s fund movements and said: “Ninety-eight thousand Spirit Crystals each, already quite cheap. The President probably also paid some other precious materials.”
“What the heck? A broken 【rubbing】 sells for that much?” Wu Xian was shocked.
“Normal. Spiritual Object Scroll Paintings are inherently rare,” Zhou Qi seemed to think it was perfectly normal. “Moreover, the production cost of Spiritual Object Scroll Paintings is much higher than other Scroll Paintings, and the drawing success rate is also low.”
“…” Wu Xian felt heartbroken, even though it wasn’t his money. “How much just for customizing a bare Cultivation Pod?”
“Uh, Cultivation Pods aren’t expensive. Even the most high-end ones currently are only around one million.”
Wu Xian took a deep breath. “Can it be returned?”
You know, that’s ninety-eight thousand Spirit Crystals!
Spirit Crystals, got it?
It adds up to nearly thirty million, and the key is that outer shell is at most just over a million.
“Return? Why return it?” Zhou Qi was puzzled.
Wu Xian shook his head in disbelief and said no more.
No choice, it was already bought. He’d check it out tomorrow first.
A seventy percent boost in Cultivation Speed is indeed very powerful for most people, and with no side effects.
It just seemed average in his eyes.
After returning to the club’s room, he searched online for the background and information on that 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】. It came from a major Wang Family in the Provincial City, with an inheritance of over two hundred years.
Just relying on the 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】 alone made the Wang Family extremely wealthy.
Crucially, netizens had extremely high evaluations of the Wang Family, with flattering remarks everywhere online.
Various families and forces also held the Wang Family in the highest regard.
Some major clubs, if equipped with 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】, even listed it in their club introductions.
This was enough to show the irreplaceable dominant position of 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】 in the high-end Cultivation Pod industry.
“Makes sense; after all, it’s permanently effective.”
One pod bought by a family benefits the family disciples, and it can even be passed down.
Thinking of it this way, the price was understandable.
Next, Wu Xian checked Cultivation Pods from other brands and families; their performance was indeed much worse than Ink Jade Bamboo Forest, and some had specific side effects.
Compared to Ink Jade Bamboo Forest, none could compete.
No wonder the Wang Family dared to charge such sky-high prices.
To put it simply, within the entire Tianfeng Province, the Wang Family’s Ink Jade Bamboo Forest was the best Spiritual Object Cultivation Pod, with no substitutes.
Of course, the Wang Family had been able to hold onto this industry for generations, so they must have some capability.
…
The next day, Wu Xian silently studied the pigments for the 【Laurel Tree】 rubbing.
Without plant-based rare materials, drawing an instance wasn’t realistic, but the rubbing could still use some other Dimensional Spirit Grass and spiritual herbs, as well as advanced plant-based monster materials as substitutes.
If adding some synthetic Divine Power Factor from Third Master Xue, the feasibility was still quite high.
Close to noon, the representative from the Provincial City’s Wang Family finally arrived late, over an hour later than the scheduled installation time.
Even so, that thirty-something Wang Family man still had an arrogant and bossy demeanor.
Zhou Qi and Wu Xian were responsible for reception, and some club members, hearing about the 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】 installation, couldn’t resist coming to watch the excitement.
“Senior, please come in; this junior has already prepared a table of wine and dishes in advance.” Zhou Qi was very deferential to this man, almost wearing his humility on his face.
Wu Xian wasn’t indulging him. “Is this the quality of the Provincial City’s Wang Family? Showing up over an hour late?”
As soon as he said this, the club fell silent.
The already disinterested Wang Family Representative was also stunned for a moment. “You are…?”
“Ghost King Club Vice President, Wu Xian.” Wu Xian calmly introduced himself.
“Where’s your President?” The Wang Family Representative mocked contemptuously: “If you don’t fire this so-called Vice President today, I really have no mood to waste time with you. There are so many clubs in the Provincial City waiting in line.”
With that, he leisurely sat down in the rest area, as if it were his own home.
“Brother Wu, this…?”
Zhou Qi was clearly dumbfounded by the situation, twitching at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Wu Xian, unsure what to do.
“Don’t worry; if Master Sister blames us, I’ll take responsibility.”
Wu Xian chuckled coldly, raised an eyebrow, and walked toward the arrogant Wang Family Representative.
He had already felt a bit heartbroken about Master Sister’s expenditure—after all, the deposit was paid, so it was bought. Today he hadn’t planned on doing anything.
Later, once his 【Laurel Tree】 rubbing was done, he could just sell it.
But this Wang Family Representative had truly disgusted him.
“Brother Zhou, how much deposit did the President pay?” Wu Xian glanced over and asked.
“Five Cultivation Pods, a total of thirty thousand Spirit Crystals deposit, probably some other rare materials too,” Zhou Qi said anxiously, at his wits’ end. “How about we call the President?”
“No need,” Wu Xian waved calmly and strode up to the Wang Family Representative. “Trouble Wang Representative to return the deposit, then take your broken 【Ink Jade Bamboo Forest】 and get lost, or shall I personally send you rolling?”
The Wang Family Representative was clearly thrown off by Wu Xian.
Used to being arrogant, wherever he went he was treated like a VIP.
Whichever family saw him had to receive him personally, afraid of displeasing him.
Suddenly encountering a tough nut like Wu Xian, he really couldn’t react for a moment.
“Heh, truly out of the hills and wilderness come the shrewdest delinquents~!” The recovered Wang Family Representative remained arrogant, completely unaware of the severity. “If not specially assigned by the family, Laozi would never come to a dump like yours. Hey~ you’re something.
What, where’s your President? Hurry and call her over. Laozi today really…”
The next second, Wu Xian’s exquisite shoe sole was already in front of his eyes.
Bang!
The Wang Family Representative flipped backward from the rest area sofa onto the ground, nose bleeding profusely.
“Need me to repeat it?” Wu Xian raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“Kid, you’re courting death—!” The Wang Family Representative furiously stood up, face distorted. “Do you know who you’ve offended?”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Xian kicked again.
This time, the Wang Family Representative was prepared. With Level Six Spiritual Power Cultivation surging, he sneered and blocked.
Intending to give this Tier 4 kid a lesson.
Who would have thought the power of that kick shocked him.
