This statement left everyone in the room dumbfounded.

Lin Sien almost spat out her blood, clutching her chest and glaring at Jiang Xiaobai with a grotesque expression.

“You… how could you have the audacity to demand such a large amount of money?” Lin Sien wanted nothing more than Jiang Xiaobai dead at that moment.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly replied, “Of course it’s worth this much. Should I calculate it for you?”

“No, please! I don’t want to hear it!” Lin Sien frantically waved her hands.

She got a headache whenever Jiang Xiaobai calculated the amount. His accounting abilities were terrifying.

An elder next to Lin Sien finally blurted out, “Holy Maiden, what is this all about?”

“Oh, you see, I’ve saved your Holy Maiden several times, and I’ve completely cured her of her poison and old injuries. I even helped her reach

Transcendence.”

Before Lin Sien could speak, Jiang Xiaobai jumped in to explain.

As his words echoed, all the elders were struck with shock.

Was this charming lad actually able to save their Holy Maiden numerous times, and even cure her poison?

“I see then. In that case, we, the Silver Moon Sect, will certainly give you the required sum without delay.”

One of the elders immediately took out a storage ring and handed it to Jiang Xiaobai. Upon inspection, his brows furrowed. “Old man, are you trying to cheat me?”

“Excuse me?”

“Only two hundred thousand medium-quality spiritual stones?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

The elder was taken aback, “I… This might be a bit more than necessary, but you do deserve this.”

“Bullshit, I’m asking for nineteen million top-quality spiritual stones. Bring me the money quickly. I have other matters to attend to.” Jiang Xiaobai said impatiently.

Everyone present was so stunned by his audacity that they nearly fell out of the sky. Each looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he were their mortal enemy.

“What did you say? Repeat that!” An elder demanded through his teeth.

“Great Elder, he’s not wrong. It’s indeed top-quality spiritual stones.” Lin Sien admitted with a sigh.

“What?” The Great Elder’s voice shot up in pitch, almost to the point of cracking.

“There’s no choice. Given the circumstances at the time, the fact that I survived and made it here is all because of him.’

Lin Sien waved her hand with a helpless look: “Elders, kindly pay him now. Otherwise, the amount may increase.”

With her incessant urge, all the elders chipped in to gather enough spiritual stones. After all, Lin Sien was well aware that when it came to tipping Jiang Xiaobai, it could become an endless game for him.

Receiving the storage ring, Jiang Xiaobai grinned like a hundred-pound kid, beaming brightly.

“Do not hesitate to contact me if you need me in future. Rest assured, you can rely on my work.”

With the payment in his pocket, Jiang Xiaobai was ready to make a swift exit. Suddenly, he heard the Great Elder calling from behind.

“Young warrior, we don’t even know your name yet!”

“Oh, names are insignificant. Why bother with them?”

After saying this, Jiang Xiaobai accelerated and in an instant dashed hundreds of miles out, disappearing into the dense forest and vanishing from everyone’s senses.

For a moment, all the elders of great reputation exchanged glances, falling silent.

“Great Elder, I have a feeling that the Holy Maiden was scammed.”

“What can we do? After all, he saved the Holy Maiden’s life.”

“Geez, he looks familiar. I think I’ve seen him somewhere.’

Lin Sien rushed up to the one who made the remark: “Where did you meet him? Do you know this scoundrel?”

“Let me think… Ah, I remember now, I saw his face on the bounty list when I went to the Thousand Yuan City a few days ago.”

The entire place exploded with shock. Lin Sien’s eyes bulging.

“Oh, yes, his name was, Jiang Bai, exactly! With a bounty of 50 million top-quality spiritual stones.”

Lin Sien felt a pit in her stomach; she had been scammed by a wanted man of

the Thousand Yuan Dynasty?

She was mad, why hadn’t she seen the bounty note? If she had, instead of being cheated, she would have captured him immediately.

Not only Lin Sien surprisingly, this identical thought also occurred to the elders of the Silver Moon Sect.

Not only did they miss the handsome reward of 50 million top-quality spiritual stones that Jiang Xiaobai had offered, but they had also ended up paying him 20 million top-quality spiritual stones!

They were bleeding cash here!

Everyone was tormented with regret, wishing they could run after Jiang Xiaobai to capture him, and give him a good beating.

“Enough! At least, the Holy Maiden is safe. Everyone keep quiet about today.”

The Great Elder ordered angrily: “Anyone who dares leak this news, I’ll have him killed!”

Everyone agreed. This was such an embarrassing incident. Who would want to expose it and become the laughingstock for centuries?

The group collected themselves, and as if nothing had happened, they reluctantly returned to the Silver Moon Sect.

In a forest, a figure watched the group depart. His eyes turned colder and more sinister, and the murderous intent emanating from him was becoming more explicit.

The man in white looked down at a piece of jade in his hand, radiating with Jiang Xiaobai’s aura.

“Jiang Bai, good, very good.”

“Once I catch you, I’ll lock you in an animal cage and feed you shit!”

The man in white activated a piece of transmission jade. On the other end, a robust voice responded: “Third Prince.”

“Catch Jiang Bai for me. Make sure he’s alive. Bring him to me.”

“Understood!”

After packing his things, the Third Prince looked towards the direction of the Silver Moon Sect with squinted eyes. He lingered there for a long while before disappearing into the dense forest.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai had managed to escape quite a distance using earthly and aquatic evasion tactics, and finally stopped by a lake.

“Phew, luckily I escaped quickly, or else I’d be toast.” Jiang Xiaobai said, feeling extremely exhilarated.

He had successfully scammed the Silver Moon Sect! That was one of the top five influential forces!

But one could not say it was really a rip-off. After all, he did save Lin Sien multiple times and even removed her poison. Cumulatively, twenty million top-quality spiritual stones would suffice as payment. He hadn’t asked for more.

Jiang Xiaobai truly believed he was in the right to take this money. He didn’t feel the slightest guilt.

Without wasting any more time, Jiang Xiaobai withdrew one thousand five hundred top-quality spiritual stones, along with the long sword and the Seven Treasures Pagoda. Both of them were lying silently on the ground.

“Both of you, listen up. You are not to absorb any more spiritual stones from my storage space. I will try my best to find spiritual stones for you in the future. Understand?” Jiang Xiaobai glared at the artificial spiritual artifacts.

However, the artefacts remained unresponsive. He didn’t even receive a hint of any reaction.

Jiang Xiaobai almost exploded with rage. Aren’t others’ artificial spiritual artefacts excellent tools? Why did the ones he got behave like superior beings who were challenging to serve?

“You won’t respond, huh? Okay, from now on, you won’t even get a single spiritual stone.” Jiang Xiaobai huffed as he pretended to stash them away as punishment.

It was then the two guys reacted, trembling slightly to show their restraint. Only then did Jiang Xiaobai huff and leave a pile of top-quality spiritual stones in front of them..
