Fight in Pairs
"Are you trying so hard to collect money just to buy a few beads?!" Pan Da Dao was shocked when he learned about Chen Xia's idea, and his tone was full of astonishment. "These aren't ordinary beads. They are spiritual energy beads that can emit light." Chen Xia replied lazily while half-lying on one side. Pan Da Dao swallowed hard and was still puzzled. "As far as I know, these spiritual energy beads are materials for forging artifacts. Besides being expensive, they don't have many advantages. They're more like toys for wealthy families. Do you really need to buy them?" Pan Da Dao was also trying to offer sincere advice. Chen Xia was a typical slacker. "The fact that the spiritual energy beads can emit colorful dazzling light is their biggest advantage." "Their importance to me is equivalent to that of flying swords to sword cultivators, pills to alchemists, water to fish, and feces to dogs." "Do you understand what I mean?" Pan Da Dao was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded and replied with a somewhat understanding look, "Well, that's indeed quite important." Just the example of feces to dogs made the importance self-evident. Pan Da Dao didn't say anything more. Now his relationship with Chen Xia was getting better and better, and their interactions were becoming more frequent. If Pan Da Dao were to describe it himself, it would be like upgrading from a lackey to a more important follower. Overall, it was quite an improvement, and Pan Da Dao was very satisfied. Moreover, he now dared to look Chen Xia in the eye and talk to him. This made him feel so proud that he would put his hands on his hips when facing other minor elders. And he really had something to be proud of. After all, other minor elders didn't dare to look Chen Xia in the eye and talk to him. In the past two days, more and more preparatory disciples had come to pay spirit stones. Some wealthy disciples from noble families paid as many as a hundred spirit stones. The least amount was ten spirit stones, which was also not bad. So far, no preparatory disciple had only given a few spirit stones. Presumably, they were also afraid of making Chen Xia angry. In just these few days, the income from spirit stones had already approached ten thousand. The spirit stones were piled up in the cave like a small mountain. Pan Da Dao was shocked when he first entered. Looking at this small mountain of spirit stones, he couldn't say a word for a long time. He had never seen so many spirit stones in his life, but Chen Xia just went out for a stroll and earned them in just a few days! Chen Xia casually waved his hand and said, "I promised to give you ten percent. Just pick some up and weigh a few hundred catties and take them away." Actually, what Pan Da Dao had done was very simple, just publicizing it a bit. But Chen Xia wasn't a stingy person. Since he had promised, Pan Da Dao could just take it. Anyway, it was just ten percent of the spirit stones. It really wasn't a big deal. But Pan Da Dao didn't think so. His hands holding his clothes were trembling. He had never thought that making money could be so easy. Was it okay just to publicize it casually? And was it really okay to weigh the spirit stones by the catty? Pan Da Dao's lips trembled. He couldn't believe it and asked again to confirm. "Really... can I really take them? You won't be unhappy, right? It's okay if I take less." Chen Xia replied in a lazy tone, "It's just ten percent. Just take it. It's nothing. If you don't want to take it now because it's troublesome, you can come and get your ten percent after all the spirit stones are collected." "No... it's not troublesome!" Pan Da Dao quickly waved his hand, his face beaming with joy. Was this the benefit of being a follower? Ten percent of ten thousand spirit stones was actually just one thousand. For powerful cultivators, it really wasn't much. But for Pan Da Dao, a minor elder at the Mountain-Moving Realm, it was equivalent to his savings for hundreds of years. However, Pan Da Dao didn't dare to take too much. He even took less and only put six hundred spirit stones into his storage magic weapon before stopping. He kept smiling and saying. "Thank you, thank you." It had to be said that Pan Da Dao had a rather big格局, but sometimes his mind didn't work very well. Chen Xia didn't say much either. Anyway, it was Pan Da Dao's own choice to take less. He stood up slowly, planning to order the spiritual energy beads. It would take several months for them to be delivered. Pan Da Dao also happily returned to his own cave, planning to hide the spirit stones he got and count them as his pension for the future. The remaining preparatory disciples also came to pay spirit stones to Chen Xia one after another. There was no movement among the formal disciples. The Law Elder seemed to ignore this matter and there was no rumor of any discussion. Chen Xia seemed to have become the local tyrant in the preparatory disciple area, taking over the whole business all by himself, and no one dared to say a word against it. Until the third month. Thirty formal disciples came and walked mightily to the entrance of Chen Xia's cave. Without saying much, they directly challenged him. Chen Xia walked out of the cave lazily and took a look at these thirty formal disciples. He asked in confusion. "Do you want to fight me one by one or all at once?" Twenty-eight of the formal disciples stepped back, revealing Di Du and Qiu Li, the two potential Great Emperors. Di Du waved his large sleeve and shouted, "Fight one-on-one!" Qiu Li didn't say much and just nodded indifferently and said, "Hmm." Originally, it was supposed to be Qiu Li coming alone, but Qiu Li was unwilling and forcibly dragged Di Du along. Their friendship was really deep. They never forgot each other when it came to getting beaten. In fact, both of them had the idea of challenging Chen Xia. After all, they were all potential Great Emperors of the same batch. It would be false to say that they didn't have any dissatisfaction at all. Now that they had cultivated for another five hundred years and reached the Sea-Reversing Realm, they were even more eager to give it a try. In short, they were itching for a beating. Otherwise, if they didn't want to do it themselves, the Law Elder actually couldn't do anything to them. Chen Xia looked at them with some confusion and asked slightly, "Do you really want to fight one-on-one?" Di Du nodded heavily. "Five hundred years have passed. Now that I've reached the Sea-Reversing Realm, I want to have a try with you!" "I still suggest that you two come together." Chen Xia said calmly, with no visible change in his expression, and continued. "Because I'm also at the Sea-Reversing Realm." The pupils of Di Du and Qiu Li instantly contracted, and their breathing became heavier. For a moment, they even had the idea of turning around and going back. However, seeing so many onlookers, they quickly pulled themselves together and pretended to be calm and said. "Since we're all at the Sea-Reversing Realm, then naturally we have to compete to see who's stronger." "Okay, hurry up. I don't really want to waste time with you." Chen Xia's tone was still calm. "Okay!" Di Du shouted loudly. He rolled up his golden sleeve with one hand, looked solemn, stretched it out, and said seriously. "I'll prepare to back you up. Please, Qiu Li, make the first move!" Qiu Li was full of confusion beside him. "You've been preparing for so long, and that's all you can say?" Di Du's expression didn't change, and he continued to say seriously, "You make the first move, and I'll back you up to prevent others from sneaking attacks." "I can also back you up." Qiu Li was very indignant. Why did he have to be the one to take the beating first? There was no such reason. The two of them just stared at each other, having nothing to say. Chen Xia, who had been leaning against the threshold, suddenly straightened up and took a step forward. A surging momentum arrived instantly. The pressure of the Sea-Reversing Realm poured out at this moment. The ground trembled, and the clouds seemed to tilt. "Come together, both of you." He said this calmly. Then he appeared in front of Di Du. By the time Di Du reacted, he had already been sent flying thousands of meters away and crashed into a pit. Boom! There was a loud noise beside him. He turned his head in confusion and looked. He found that Qiu Li was also there.
