".Then I'll cut to the chase and ask, how much money can you pay me?"

Xie Fuyi's direct question made the village head feel a little embarrassed.

The village head thought for a long time before saying in a low voice with a little embarrassment——

"As for the savior, we really dare not hide it. Regarding the copper coins and silver taels, if they were not collected from everyone, we really don't know how many there are, but the copper coins should be more than [-] Wen."

This direction is still wrong.I don't need the money
Xie Fuyi complained to himself in his heart.

The way I asked questions seemed to have made some fatal mistakes from the very beginning, maybe it should be brought in in a different way, and it would be best to involve Chu Yueying.

"This kind of small copper coin is generally difficult to carry, and I rarely use it. If possible, I hope to exchange it for a larger denomination of circulation."

"I'm sorry, but it would be nice if we could pay with gold. But basically, our village doesn't use gold, or can we use other materials instead?"

Xie Fuyi suppressed the desire to let out a sigh of relief.

The other party's answer is still developing in the direction he expected.

Therefore, Xie Fuyi thought more seriously about the next question——

"Then let's do this. I want to buy things in this village at a reasonable price, such as resources such as spirit stones, herbs, animal skins and even crops. So you just need to give me some copper coins for payment. "

"Thank you Master Xianshi for your understanding, but."

The sudden voice of thanks from the village chief made Xie Fuyi's calm heart seem to skip a beat.

The village chief's expression seemed to be more serious than before, and his serious expression was tougher and more imposing than usual.

"Actually, you can call me Xie An."

"Xie An Xianshi?"

The village chief was a little skeptical at first, but after nodding his head a few times, he continued——

"I understand very well what Master Xie wants to say."

Xie Fuyi was a little stunned, and he even began to wonder if there was a big question mark on his head now.

There may be a misunderstanding, but I really don't know what the village chief wants to say, so I don't know how to answer at all.

"I fully understand Master Xie An's desire not to be underestimated by other fellow immortal masters, and I also fully understand that you would want to ask for a reward that meets expectations for your own reputation."

"...If you go to the Immortal Dao League to hire a powerful figure like you, Xianshi Xie, you must need a lot of money. So besides the three thousand copper coins, you must also need other materials, right?"

Xie Fuyi, who didn't know what the village chief was talking about, was in a mess.

The village chief didn't give Xie Fuyi any room to interrupt, and continued to talk——

"However, as I said just now, the amount that the village can get is at most three thousand copper coins. Although you will definitely doubt it, I absolutely dare not hide anything from the immortal master who is the savior."

The village chief's face was full of sincerity, and he didn't look like he was lying.

If he was still deceived by him like this, it can only be said that Xie Fuyi himself is too disrespectful.

"No, a person as capable as Mr. Xie Xianshi must not be satisfied with the amount we proposed. If we gather the property of everyone in the village, it may be possible to reach the minimum amount that Mr. Xie Fuyi expected. But..."

"...Our village has just lost a lot of labor. If we pay more than three thousand copper coins, we will not be able to survive the next season. The same is true for supplies. Because there are fewer people, there will definitely be a lot of farmland that will become understaffed. "

"... So if I hand over all the supplies to you now, life in the future will definitely become quite severe. Although it is very embarrassing to ask the savior so much, but can you... at least let us pay in installments?" "

Huh?
Maybe this is a great opportunity?

It's like being in a dense jungle, the field of vision suddenly becomes wider, the destination is in front of you, and then you just need to pray that you can reach it successfully.

Xie Fuyi pretended to be deep in thought, and after a few seconds, Xie Fuyi finally spoke again——

"Understood. I decided not to pay."

"Ah? Why?"

Both the village chief and his wife were dumbfounded in astonishment.

Xie Fuyi lightly raised his hand, emphasizing that he still has something to say.

In the past, the Immortal World Dao League had expressly stipulated that——

Immortal cultivators should not intervene in the affairs between people in the mortal world or between countries. Moreover, monks must receive rewards or sacrifices for exorcising demons in the mortal world.

Although, these regulations mean little to Xie Fuyi.

However, there are some regulations that he can still take advantage of.

".I'm a Daoist cultivator of the Immortal World Dao League. I belong to the Yaoxian Sect. I'm retreating in a very remote place to practice the immortal way. I just came here recently."

"Yes. Although I don't know the sects of the immortal masters, you can still guess the identity of Mr. Xie An as an 'immortal master' by looking at their clothes."

"Yes, it is like that."

Xie Fuyi touched the green and white fairy robe on his body, and casually brushed it off.

Perhaps in this world, only immortal masters can wear such incompatible clothes.

What's more, even the big nobles in the capital probably couldn't afford the materials for making it.

While observing the other party's reaction, Xie Fuyi opened his mouth and said——

"Although I said that I don't want to be paid, the Immortal Dao League has its rules, and I can't break its rules."

As Xie Fuyi said, he glanced around again at the same time, and continued——

".The Immortal Dao League requires immortal masters to receive rewards for eliminating demons and subduing demons, and they should not even intervene in the grievances between people in the mortal world. However, if it is to protect the hometown of one's apprentices, there are no such requirements. .”

"so."

There is no such thing as wanting nothing in this world.

It should even be said that there is no more expensive price than free.

Anyone who is even a little bit normal would find it strange that someone who asked for payment after saving a life would say no payment.

Then as long as the other party feels like paying, even if it is something invisible, it will have an effect.

"What does Master Xie mean?"

"I found out that the girl named 'Chu Yueying' I rescued had a relationship with immortality. I want to accept her as a disciple and join Yao Xianzong."

The village head and his wife, who were still looking distressed, were overjoyed after hearing Xie Fuyi's explanation.

On the one hand, being able to be accepted as an apprentice by an immortal master means that at worst, he can become a low-level immortal master in the future.Being able to produce a monk and immortal teacher is a dream benefit for many small villages.

On the other hand, according to what Xianshi Xie said in front of him, a large amount of remuneration can be avoided in this way, which is another layer of insurance for the village to survive the cold winter.

"The parents of the girl from the Chu family just died, and I'm still worrying about her future."
