Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 151 Why is the broken cultivation pod so expensive?

Zhou Qi explained with great emphasis: "The cultivation chamber itself is not valuable. The key is the spiritual scrolls inside that can amplify spiritual power cultivation. That is the core value of the cultivation chamber."

"Is that scroll of spirit objects very valuable?" Wu Xian frowned.

"It's not just precious, it's extremely precious," Zhou Qi said seriously. "Scrolls depicting spiritual objects are already rare, and spiritual objects that can enhance spiritual power cultivation are even rarer, with vastly different effects on spiritual power cultivation."

The guild leader has ordered the extremely rare and highly sought-after [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest], which greatly enhances spiritual power cultivation without any side effects and even has a calming effect on the mind.

"Ink Jade Bamboo Forest?" Wu Xian's expression was strange. "The most expensive cultivation club in Yaoyang City?"

“That’s right,” Zhou Qi confirmed. “The one in the core area of ​​the new city is a chain business of this family. The chairman spared no expense to invite five [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest] cultivation chambers, which shows that he made a great decision.”

Other clubs wouldn't be willing to invest in this level of training pod.

Wu Xian was puzzled but impressed, "How much can it improve spiritual power cultivation?"

“It’s a full 70%,” Zhou Qi solemnly gestured the number seven. “And this is just the rubbing. If it were a replica, it’s said to be more than 80% or even 90%.”

Of course, ordinary families don't even qualify to order a copy.

"..." Wu Xian remained silent.

Is it only 70% complete after all that work?
"How much did Master Sister spend on ordering this cultivation pod?" Wu Xian asked.

Zhou Qi checked the club's financial situation and said, "98,000 spirit crystals per unit is already very cheap. The president probably also paid for some other valuable materials."

"What the hell? A tattered rubbing is selling for such a high price?" Wu Xian exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s normal. Spirit scrolls are rare,” Zhou Qi said, seemingly finding it quite normal. “Moreover, the cost of creating a spirit scroll is much higher than other scrolls, and the success rate of creating one is also lower.”

"..." Wu Xian felt a pang of heartache, even though it wasn't his own money. "How much does it cost to customize a training pod?"

"Well, cultivation pods aren't worth much. Even the most advanced cultivation pods are only around one million."

Wu Xian took a deep breath. "Can I get a refund?"

You know, that's 98,000 spirit crystals!
Do you understand spirit crystals?

It adds up to nearly 30 million, but the most expensive part, the outer shell, is only about a million.

"Retreat? Why retreat?" Zhou Qi asked, puzzled.

Wu Xian shook his head in disbelief and said nothing more.

There's no way around it, I've already bought it, I'll just have to see how it goes tomorrow.

A 70% increase in cultivation speed is indeed very powerful for most people, and it has no side effects.

It was just so-so in his eyes.

After returning to my room at the club, I went online to look up the background and information about the [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest]. It comes from the Wang family, a large family in the provincial capital, with a history of more than two hundred years.

The Wang family made a fortune just from the [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest].

The key is that netizens have extremely high opinions of the Wang family, and you can see all kinds of praise for them all over the internet.

Various families and forces also hold the Wang family in high esteem.

Some large clubs even include the "Ink Jade Bamboo Forest" feature in their club profiles.

This is enough to demonstrate the irreplaceable dominant position of [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest] in the high-end cultivation chamber industry.

"That's true, since it's valid indefinitely."

If a family buys one, all the family members can benefit from it, and it can be passed down through generations.

Thinking about it that way, the price is understandable.

Next, Wu Xian checked the cultivation chambers of other brands and families, and found that their performance was indeed much worse than that of the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest, and some of them even had certain side effects.

Compared to the Black Jade Bamboo Forest, none of them can compete.

No wonder the Wang family dared to ask for such an exorbitant price.

To put it simply, within the entire Tianfeng Province, the Wang family's Ink Jade Bamboo Forest is the most powerful spiritual cultivation chamber, and there is no substitute for it.

Of course, the Wang family has been able to maintain this business for generations, which means they must have some ability.

The next day, Wu Xian silently studied the pigments used in the rubbing of the "Laurel Tree".

Without the involvement of rare plant-based materials, creating a dungeon is impractical, but rubbings can still be made using other dimensional herbs and elixirs, as well as high-level plant-based monster materials.

If we add some of the synthetic divine power factors from Master Xue's side, the feasibility is still quite high.

It was almost noon when the representative from the Wang family in the provincial capital finally arrived, more than an hour late for the scheduled installation.

Even so, the man from the Wang family, who was in his thirties, still maintained an arrogant and domineering demeanor.

Zhou Qi and Wu Xian were in charge of receiving guests. Some club members couldn't resist coming to join in the fun after hearing that the [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest] would be provided.

"Please come in, senior. I have prepared a table of food and wine in advance." Zhou Qi valued this person very much, almost to the point of wearing a humble tone on his face.

Wu Xian wasn't going to tolerate him. "Is this the kind of quality the Wang family from the provincial capital has? They're over an hour late!"

Upon hearing this, the club fell silent.

Even the Wang family representative, who was already feeling rather listless, was taken aback. "You are...?"

"Wu Xian, Vice President of the Ghost King Club," Wu Xian calmly introduced himself.

"Where is your president?" the Wang family representative sneered. "If we don't fire this so-called vice president today, I really have no time to waste with you. There are so many clubs in the provincial capital waiting in line."

As he spoke, he leisurely sat down in the reception area, looking like he owned the place.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you...?"

Zhou Qi was clearly bewildered by the situation, his lips twitching as he looked at Wu Xian, unsure of what to do.

"Don't worry, if Master Sister gets angry, I'll take care of it."

Wu Xian chuckled coldly, raised an eyebrow, and walked towards the arrogant Wang family representative.

He was already a little distressed about his master's sister's expense, since the deposit had already been paid and the purchase was already made; he hadn't thought about it much today.

Once his rubbing of the "Laurel Tree" comes out, we can resell it.

But this representative from the Wang family really disgusted him.

"Brother Zhou, how much deposit did the chairman pay?" Wu Xian asked, glancing at him.

“Five cultivation pods, a total of 30,000 spirit crystals as a deposit, and I guess there are other rare materials or something,” Zhou Qi said anxiously, “Should we call the guild leader over?”

"No need," Wu Xian waved his hand calmly and strode up to the Wang family representative. "I'd appreciate it if you could just leave the deposit down and then take your lousy 'Ink Jade Bamboo Forest' and get lost, or perhaps I could personally escort you out of here?"

The Wang family representative was clearly at a loss with Wu Xian.

Accustomed to arrogance, he always received VIP treatment wherever he went.

Every family that meets him must personally receive him, for fear that he might be displeased.

Suddenly encountering such a tough opponent as Wu Xian, they were momentarily caught off guard.

"Heh, it's true what they say, bad people come from poor and remote places!" The Wang family representative, still arrogant after regaining his senses, was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter. "If the family hadn't specifically assigned me, I would never have come to a place like yours. Heh, you little brat."

What are you bringing? Where's your guild leader? Get her over here right now, I'm really going to..."

The next second, Wu Xian's exquisite shoe soles appeared before his eyes.

boom!
The Wang family representative immediately fell backward from the sofa in the rest area, his nose bleeding profusely.

"Do you need me to repeat myself?" Wu Xian asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Boy, you're asking for death—!" The Wang family representative stood up angrily, his face contorted. "Do you know who you've offended?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wu Xian kicked him again.

This time, the Wang family representative was prepared. With his sixth-level spiritual power surging, he parried the attack with a cold smile.

He had intended to teach this kid with only a fourth-level cultivation a lesson.

To his surprise, the force of that kick startled him.
