Chapter 804 Wind Island’s Situation (1/2)

Zhou Yuan looked at the Wind Spirit Rune flashing an azure color on his arm. It was already 40% complete. If other people were to see this speed, they would have been ecstatic, but Zhou Yuan seemed a little troubled.

This was because he had already used up more than 300 origin coins.

And there were still three days before the next month’s pay!

In other words, for the next three days, he wouldn’t be able to come to the wind district to practice again, and even if he received next month’s salary, it would only be 80 origin coins. Given his consumption speed, it would most likely be used up in a few days.

The lack of origin coins had become Zhou Yuan’s biggest constraint.

Zhou Yuan in the end could only let out a long sigh. He stood up, and his figure streaked across the air. Without any origin coins it was useless to stay any longer in the wind district.

Zhou Yuan left the wind district and the Four Spirit Origin Tower and headed straight for the Wind Pavilion.

Zhou Yuan returned to Wind Island but noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Many people wore an anxious expression, especially when they saw Zhou Yuan, and their expressions turned a little complicated, their gazes becoming evasive.

Zhou Yuan ran his eyes over those slightly familiar people and frowned slightly.

His footsteps halted suddenly when he saw a group of people not far away. The leader was Jin Teng, who seemed to be advertising something. When Jin Teng saw him, a gloating expression immediately surfaced on his face. Then he left with the group of people in a great mood.

What happened? Zhou Yuan thought to himself and then quickly rushed to the small building.

And when he reached the small building, he stood stunned for a moment because he saw three figures standing in front of the building. They were Ye Bingling, Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan, all with solemn expressions on their faces.

“What’s going on?” Zhou Yuan quickly darted forward.

“Zhou Yuan, you’re finally out!” Yi Qiushui exclaimed when she saw Zhou Yuan. “Something big has happened!”

“Slowly tell me.” Zhou Yuan tried to calm her down.

Ye Bingling came forward, her beautiful face covered with frost. She explained, “Today, the Fire Pavilion announced that they will temporarily transfer the selling rights of the Mark Capturing Rune in the Wing Pavilion to Chen Beifeng. If the people of the Wind Pavilion want to make a purchase they will have to ask Chen Beifeng. But Chen Beifeng has let out word that anyone who supports you and me will have to pay double the price; otherwise, they won’t sell to them!”

Of course, he also understood that he was only a special case and that not everyone was able to bring their Spirit to the Transformative stage while in the Divine Dwelling stage.

More ordinary people needed Mark Capturing Runes to improve their efficiency, so he was well aware of its importance to others. It could be said to be a necessity.

The price of a Mark Capturing Rune was half an origin coin, and they were sold in pairs. The price didn’t seem too high, but after long-term use, it would become a huge consumption. According to speculation, a normal person would spend about five origin coins every month to buy Mark Capturing Runes. How many people were there in the Four Pavilions? Adding it all up, it was undoubtedly a pretty terrifying number.

So if the price was doubled, it would undoubtedly become a huge burden for the average person.

Chen Beifeng’s move was indeed ruthless and was, obviously, a fierce counterattack against Zhou Yuan’s recent action.

“It’s that Wang Chen?” A cold light flashed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. Only the deputy pavilion master Wang Chen of the Fire Pavilion had the right to transfer part of the sellings rights to Chen Beifeng.

Ye Bingling nodded, her brows scrunched in worry. “Mark Capturing Runes are very important. This matter has just come out, but it has already caused a commotion in the Wind Pavilion. Many people are very dissatisfied, but they can’t do anything. In the long term, it would no doubt affect the people’s heart.”

Although Ye Bingling now had many supporters, she was not blind. There was no way she could let everyone who supported her gain even one extra origin coin a month. However, the people who supported her now would suffer the loss of five origin coins every month.

Perhaps a very small number of diehard supporters would grit their teeth and persist, but the vast majority would choose to leave because this was the human heart.

If this situation were to continue, even if Ye Bingling really defeated Chen Beifeng the next month and won the pavilion master position, the situation would still be a little awkward.
