Martial Master

“Threatening me?” Qin Chen's gaze turned cold. “I don’t care what power you belong to; the one thing I fear the least is a threat. Since you refuse my goodwill, I have changed my mind. If you want to leave, you must hand over seventy percent of the spiritual medicine you obtained from the medicinal field, or else you can just stay here.”

Qin Chen's tone was frigid.

“You…”

Elder Luoying was so furious that he couldn't complete a sentence.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze, and no one dared to speak up easily.

Asking for sixty or seventy percent right off the bat was simply extortion.

If it were just a few plants, they might have agreed, but to demand so much at once, nobody would be willing.

However, if they didn’t hand over the spiritual medicine, they would be unable to leave this place.

If only there was a formation master present, then they wouldn't be under Qin Chen's control at all.

Another formation master?

Suddenly, Zhou Xun’s eyes brightened as he casually glanced at Zuo Wei within the formation.

His eyes shifted, and he whispered a few words to the middle-aged guard captain beside him. Zhou Xun looked at Qin Chen coldly and said, “Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or not.”

In truth, he was very clear in his heart that what Qin Chen said was probably true; after all, it would be too easy to expose a lie.

Qin Chen understood Zhou Xun's meaning. It wasn’t that he doubted his words but rather that he wanted to negotiate.

With a cold sneer, he said, “Besides believing me, do you have any other choices? If you can find another exit, then go ahead. I promise I won’t take a single cent from you.”

The expressions of the crowd turned ugly; what Qin Chen said was indeed a fact.

Now, apart from trusting Qin Chen, they had no other options. If there had been another exit, would they have wasted so much time talking with Qin Chen? They would have left long ago.

“You’re asking for sixty percent so easily; isn’t that a bit too much?” Zhou Xun said coldly.

Qin Chen waved his hand dismissively and replied, “Let me clarify two points first. The spiritual medicine you need to hand over is eighty percent, not sixty. Secondly, I’m not at all relaxed about this. When I was outside, I poured my heart and soul into it. After coming in here, I haven’t had a wink of sleep for days and nights. Just the formation flags alone, I forged hundreds of them, consuming countless refining materials. Aren’t these all costs?”

Xia Wurou found it amusing. She had been observing Qin Chen for the past few days, and most of those hundreds of formation flags were actually crafted by Zuo Wei. He hadn’t forged many at all but kept claiming how hard he had worked; he was too cunning.

However, she didn’t say anything because regardless of who forged the flags, at least the formation was arranged by Qin Chen. Everyone would agree that the hard work was done by him.

“But this stone platform’s teleportation array doesn’t belong to you alone. What right do you have to monopolize it? How do you know we can't activate the teleportation array ourselves without you?” The sixth-level Martial Venerable, who had a conflict with Qin Chen, shouted with a dark expression.

“Haha, those formation restrictions outside don’t belong to you either. What right do you have to monopolize them?” Qin Chen replied with a cold laugh.

If hard tactics wouldn’t work, would they switch to reasoning?

Unfortunately, even in reasoning, they couldn’t win against him.

“Enough, no need to argue further. Eighty percent of spiritual medicine? I agree.” At that moment, Zhou Xun suddenly said with a dark tone.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xun in astonishment; he actually agreed! This wasn’t like Zhou Xun’s character at all.

“Can you guarantee that as long as we hand over the spiritual medicine, we can really leave here? No other demands?” Zhou Xun said with a cold gaze.

“Of course.”

“Good, Yiren Tu, take my storage ring and hand over the spiritual medicine you just obtained to this kid.”
