Chapter 306 This exchange rate is really killing me!
The guards around the pool immediately brightened up and surrounded her: "Fairy Zhong, how much do you have? We'll exchange it for you. Don't worry, it's the same exchange rate as the City Lord's Mansion, you won't lose a single immortal stone."
"Yes, yes, Fairy Zhong, our exchange rate is the same as the one at the City Lord's Mansion: 1:10,000 top-grade immortal stones for one low-grade immortal stone. If you exchange it outside, it will be 1:1."
"That's right, that's right. Most of the immortals who ascend from the lower realm exchange with us. After all, we are the immortals who guard the Ascension Pool, and we are under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Palace, so we dare not do anything reckless. Haha, we are different from you, Fairy Zhong. You have a bright future, while we are just minor immortals. We only have a place to receive our monthly allowance, so we dare not do anything reckless."
"Fairy Zhong..."
"Fairy Zhong..."
Zhong Lingxin deliberately covered the storage ring.
She had learned about the exchange rate between spirit stones and immortal stones long before her ascension. It was indeed as the guardians of the pool had said.
But she still felt sorry for him.
At this moment, in order to uncover the conspiracy of the City Lord's Mansion in Ascension City, she pretended to be extremely distressed, almost to the point of losing her composure.
She hesitated, fidgeting with her left hand while swallowing hard, and said awkwardly, "Um, um..."
Having seen this kind of behavior from ascended immortals many times before, all the pool guardians smiled and looked at her.
The immortal who had guided Zhong Lingxin to the Immortal City ahead had a hint of smugness on his face. He deliberately spoke loudly, "Fairy Zhong, we really didn't lie to you. Why don't you exchange some with us? If you don't believe us, you can keep some spirit stones and go to the Ascension City ahead to exchange them. Let's see if we've lied to you!"
Zhong Lingxin took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "I believe the immortals didn't lie to me, but this, this, I really didn't expect it. This exchange rate is really going to kill me!"
The people guarding the pond all burst into laughter.
While laughing, they each opened their storage rings and rushed forward to exchange them with Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin looked at them, then unconsciously turned around twice, and faced Old Wang.
Old Wang grabbed Zhong Lingxin, feeling extremely smug.
Today was truly his lucky day. Not only did he inform the City Lord's Mansion, but he also managed to exchange some immortal stones with Zhong Lingxin.
He knew these ascended immortals; which one of them didn't have hundreds of millions or even billions of top-grade spirit stones, and some even had spirit crystals?
Zhong Lingxin followed Old Wang's lead and was pulled aside. As they walked, she said, "Oh dear, I really didn't expect the exchange rate to be so low. If I had known, I would have brought more. It's only 1 billion top-grade spirit stones, I wonder..."
Upon hearing that it was one billion, all the immortals guarding the pool surrounded them, shouting, "Don't fight over it! One hundred million for each person! One hundred million for each person!"
Old Wang seemed extremely dissatisfied with this method of equal distribution and wanted to take it all for himself.
But since the other pool guardians all insisted on this distribution, he had no choice but to compromise. However, he looked at Zhong Lingxin and said, "Fairy Zhong, I was the first one to exchange with you. Why don't we exchange more?"
After returning to the Immortal Realm, Zhong Chun had regained his skill in crafting immortal artifacts.
Although he can only refine first or second-grade immortal artifacts now, based on his past experience as a master of immortal artifacts, he still has the ability to refine an identity plaque.
Zhong Lingxin kept stalling for time, talking to the others about exchanging spirit stones for immortal stones, just to buy Zhong Chun time to refine his identity badge.
Now, Zhong Chun whispered in her mind, "It's ready."
Zhong Lingxin wasn't going to drag it out any longer. She looked at all the people guarding the pool and chuckled, "Same here, you're all colleagues, it's good that you're all the same."
Soon, Zhong Lingxin exchanged several hundred million top-grade spirit stones and received seven thousand low-grade immortal stones.
Moreover, Huanhuan made a move when it came to exchanging the items.
After Zhong Lingxin ascended to immortality, she became a first-tier divine beast.
Huanhuan quickly confused Old Wang for a moment.
Taking advantage of the brief moment, Zhong Lingxin stole the vibrating object from Old Wang's storage ring as he opened it.
Zhong Chun told her to steal it, saying it was a communication talisman.
With the communication talisman in hand, Zhong Lingxin quickly understood the scheme of the City Lord's Mansion and Old Wang of Ascension City.
It turns out that the city lord of Ascension City is surnamed Wang, and he belongs to the same family as Old Wang, who guards the Ascension Pool.
Whenever an immortal with exceptional celestial qualities ascends to heaven, Old Wang would notify the city lord.
Lord Wang then notified the Wang family.
The Wang family would send a corresponding immortal to the city lord's mansion, and after the immortal ascended, they would try to make him a slave through a contract.
The Wang family is not a large family, so they are extremely careful.
Those who were willing to serve under the Celestial Emperor, and those who had families and influence in the Celestial Realm, did not have contracts.
They only contract with those who have soaked for more than five days and have no family or power in the immortal realm.
Someone like Zhong Lingxin, who has soaked in the water for nine days and then wants to wander alone, is simply the perfect candidate they've been dreaming of.
An ancestor of the Wang family is on his way to Ascension City and should arrive in about three days.
The Wang family's plans for Zhong Lingxin were not simply about making her a slave under a contract.
They have already made a decision.
With such excellent qualities, Zhong Lingxin must leave offspring for the Wang family, and several at that.
Zhong Lingxin imitated Old Wang's voice and communicated with City Lord Wang several times, truly disgusted by them.
Damn the Wang family, they've never had enough of using her.
The Wang family's ancestor was also very talented, as was Zhong Lingxin.
With these two advantages combined, the descendants left behind will surely be of exceptional quality.
Damn it, once she escapes this calamity, the Wang family will be wiped out.
Just by the fact that the Wang family secretly made contracts with so many ascended immortals, the Wang family can be described as utterly wicked.
Having learned the truth, Zhong Lingxin quickly put on makeup.
She knew that Old Wang must have transformed his appearance to give to the city lord.
Therefore, she cannot appear in Ascension City in her original form.
At the same time, she also knew that with her mere cultivation level as a human immortal, it was impossible for her to change her appearance to fool the city lord.
So she used the simplest and most basic method: makeup.
After all, she had performed on stage before, and her makeup skills were excellent.
Back in the Immortal Spirit Continent, she often used illusion techniques and makeup to deceive everyone.
Now, she dares not use illusion magic, but she can still cleverly alter people's visual perception through makeup.
Thinking of this, she conjured a small mirror as she walked, and took out pink blush, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, and lipstick in front of the mirror.
First, apply a base of powder, then widen the blush, and then blend the blush and powder together to deepen the sides of the jawline, making the jawline appear more square and changing the face shape.
Next, the nostrils were widened, and the powder on the bridge of the nose and cheeks was applied in a similar amount, making the bridge of the nose appear much shorter.
Next, I did a full makeover of the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, forehead, and ears.
