784: The price of showing off

"Brother-in-law, what is your current cultivation level? Why do I feel like I can't quite tell?" Huang Ruochen scrutinized Yang Lingchen.

"Earth Immortal Realm Eighth Layer."

Yang Lingchen revealed the aura on his body, then immediately covered it up again with the yellow springs diagram, still presenting his cultivation level to the outside world as Earth Immortal Realm Fourth Layer.

"Earth Immortal Realm Eighth Layer!" Shock appeared in Huang Ruochen's eyes as he said, "Brother-in-law, you are too much of a Genius! How on earth do you Cultivate?"

"Since my brother-in-law's cultivation level has improved so much, I, as the brother-in-law, can't be too far behind, right!" Yang Lingchen chuckled and said.

"This is just too outrageous! I was planning on looking after you in the future! I didn't expect your cultivation level to increase so exaggeratedly." Huang Ruochen sighed, "It seems I'll be the one needing you to look after me from now on."

"We are brothers; you look after me, I look after you, isn't it all the same?" Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Right, Brother-in-law, how did you manage to get Mengyao? Teach me a trick or two! That way, I can find you a sister-in-law!" Huang Ruochen said with a smile.

"Brother Ruochen, with your looks and talent, as long as you have a thicker skin and are a little more shameless, picking up girls is quite simple!" Yang Lingchen said, looking like an experienced veteran.

"I know about having a thick skin, but this 'shamelessness,' how exactly does one do that?" Huang Ruochen looked eager to learn.

"This can only be understood, not explained! When there's an opportunity another day, I'll demonstrate it for you." Yang Lingchen smiled and said.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of that beauty? Pretty enough, right! How about you demonstrate it now?" Huang Ruochen suddenly pointed to a woman in a white dress walking in the distance.

"That wouldn't be good, right!"

Yang Lingchen looked helpless. Joking was one thing, but if he were actually asked to teach on the spot, he himself would feel very awkward.

"Brother-in-law, please! I'm not asking you to actually pick her up! Just demonstrate, so I can learn a trick from you!" Huang Ruochen hurriedly said.

"Hmm...!" Yang Lingchen frowned slightly and said, "Alright, but you have to stand here and cannot get close, otherwise it will affect my performance."

"No problem, I'll just watch from afar and definitely won't get close." Huang Ruochen hurriedly promised.

"Alright, just this once!"

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he reached out to adjust his hair crown, then turned and walked towards the young girl in the white dress.

"This beautiful Senior Sister, could I discuss something with you?" Before he even got close to the young girl in the white dress, Yang Lingchen quietly sent a Sound Transmission.

"What is it?" The young girl in the white dress turned her beautiful eyes and looked coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Do you see that silly kid behind me?" Yang Lingchen secretly sent a Sound Transmission.

"I see him, what about it?" The young girl in the white dress sent a Sound Transmission back.

"That kid is a distant cousin of mine. He has never spoken to a girl since he was young, so he wanted me to demonstrate how to strike up a conversation with a girl, and I have absolutely no experience in this area, so I wanted to ask you to cooperate with me."

Yang Lingchen's tone was very humble, and he continued the Sound Transmission: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate a little, I will give you 100,000 immortal spirit crystals after it's done."

In Yang Lingchen's storage ring, there were still nearly ten million immortal spirit crystals; he naturally wouldn't care about a mere 100,000.

"100,000 immortal spirit crystals? Do you look down on This Young Lady too much?" The young girl in the white dress sneered and sent a Sound Transmission: "Two million, if there is even one immortal spirit crystal less, there is nothing to talk about."

"You... this is too much of a rip-off!" Yang Lingchen frowned slightly. Spending two million immortal spirit crystals just to show off was something he could not do no matter what.

"Stinky brat, do you think This Young Lady can't tell? You clearly want to show off in front of others." The young girl in the white dress's pretty face turned cold, and she sent a Sound Transmission: "Two million immortal spirit crystals; if you don't pay, don't blame This Young Lady for making you lose all face."

"You... you are blackmailing me!" Yang Lingchen looked depressed.

"This Young Lady is blackmailing you, so what? Keep whining, and see if I don't slap you to death?"

A powerful pressure instantly appeared on the young girl in the white dress, and her cultivation level of the Ninth Layer of Celestial Immortal Realm was revealed completely before Yang Lingchen's eyes.

"Damn, this is so unlucky!" Yang Lingchen was dumbfounded. He just wanted to show off, but he had actually kicked a steel plate.

He really didn't expect that the other party's cultivation level had actually reached the Ninth Layer of Celestial Immortal Realm; this was just too speechless!

"Beauty, let's talk nicely. Two million is two million, but you have to let me hold your hand, otherwise that kid won't believe it." Yang Lingchen forced himself to stay calm and sent a Sound Transmission.

"If you want to hold hands, add another one million, otherwise today This Young Lady will definitely make you lose all face." The young girl in the white dress replied coldly via Sound Transmission.

"You are raising the price on the spot." Yang Lingchen looked helpless.

"This Young Lady is raising the price on the spot, so what?" The young girl in the white dress said coldly.

"Fine, deal." Yang Lingchen replied helplessly via Sound Transmission.

"Speak, how do you need This Young Lady to cooperate?" The young girl in the white dress said.

"You don't need to say anything, just hold my hand and walk a distance with me." Yang Lingchen said via Sound Transmission.

"Fine, then how will you give me the immortal spirit crystals later?" The young girl in the white dress asked.

"I definitely can't give them to you here, otherwise he will definitely discover it. How about this? Later, you come to my class to find me, how about that?" Yang Lingchen said.

"What is your name? Which class?" The young girl in the white dress asked via Sound Transmission.

"I am Zhang Wuhen, Outer Court Class Four." Yang Lingchen said solemnly.

"Fine, have the immortal spirit crystals ready for This Young Lady, and I will have someone come to find you to collect them later!"

After the young girl in the white dress finished speaking, she gently grabbed Yang Lingchen's right hand, and then the two walked all the way towards the pavilion ahead.

"Damn, this actually works?" In the distance, Huang Ruochen's face showed an expression of disbelief.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Lingchen walked back with a look of triumph, "Brother Ruochen, how was it? Did you learn it?"

"Brother-in-law, how did you do it? Hurry and teach me!" Huang Ruochen asked excitedly.

"Didn't I just teach you!" Yang Lingchen said helplessly.

"But you didn't teach me the routine!" Huang Ruochen scratched his head and said.

"The routine isn't complicated; you just need to be bold and careful, and have a thick enough skin."

"See that beauty?"

Yang Lingchen pointed to a tall young girl walking in the distance.

"I see her, what about it?" Huang Ruochen said.

"You go directly over to her now and say, 'Hello beautiful Senior Sister, can I exchange sound transmission jade with you?'"

Yang Lingchen said solemnly: "I guarantee that as long as your attitude is good, with your looks and age, she will definitely not refuse you. Once you get her sound transmission jade, you show her concern every few days, or ask her to go to the academy's best Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant, I guarantee you will definitely be able to win her over."

"Will this work?" Huang Ruochen scratched his head and said.
