Zhi Qingyu furrowed her brows slightly, then asked, "An Earth Tier Martial Arts Cultivation Technique can only save ten people, isn't that a bit too little?"

"Even though our Zhi family was once a strong race, there are less than a hundred Earth Tier martial arts and cultivation techniques, and most of them are held by experts above the fifth level of the Cloud Sea Realm."

"Aren't you afraid no one will come with such high demands?"

Zhi Ruo also agreed with Zhi Qingge's viewpoint; Chu Nan's requirements were indeed excessively high, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Chu Nan, however, indifferently explained, "Although I am open for business, I don't truly intend to do business."

"Elemental stones are not a necessity for me; cultivation techniques, martial skills, and Martial Intent Comprehension are what I truly need."

"If the price were too low, who would be willing to offer precious cultivation techniques and martial skills, or reveal their Martial Intent Comprehension?"

"That's why the price can't be low!"

Chu Nan spoke in an indisputable tone. He had pondered this plan for a long time. To achieve his goal, treating the drawbacks of Demon Blood had to be expensive, so costly that ordinary people could not afford it or were unwilling to pay!

There were more things Chu Nan did not mention. His primary targets were those people harmed by Demon Blood, on the verge of madness or already mad.

Those whose Demon Blood had not yet erupted were likely waiting for the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to complete the Blood Array; no one would willingly give him the elemental stones they had painstakingly saved.

But those who were already mad or about to become mad were different.

Previously, Huang Shi had already shown a rough Blood Array. It could indeed suppress the outbreak of Demon Blood drawbacks but could not heal martial artists already fallen into madness.

This had become a consensus in everyone's heart.

Although Chu Nan was only one person, he truly rescued a martial artist who had fallen into madness, undoubtedly giving hope to those who had long since been unable to hold on.

Those individuals, the Blood Array could do nothing for, making Chu Nan their only lifeline.

More importantly, those who could survive in a state of madness until now were undoubtedly influential in the Zhi family, otherwise, they would've been put to death long ago to maintain order.

They had sufficient resources and strength to pay the high price set by Chu Nan!

Chu Nan feared no one would come; within the entire Zhi Family Secret Realm, he was the only one who could resolve the Demon Blood drawbacks, possessing the most critical resource.

Before the Blood Array was completed, he was the sole hope for all Zhi family martial artists afflicted by Demon Blood!

Finally, Chu Nan decisively declared, "Zhi Ruo, find the largest wooden plank and paint it with gold lacquer. Carve all my requirements onto it; from today, our Demon Blood Pavilion is officially open for business!"

Zhi Ruo immediately responded, "As you command, Pavilion Master!"

Swiftly, everything was set up; Zhi Qingge and Zhi Ruo divided the work clearly. Even Zhi Qingge called some friends to help, spreading the word about the opening of Chu Nan's Demon Blood Pavilion, resolving the Demon Blood drawbacks for the Zhi family martial artists!

The news spread quickly through all corners of the city by word of mouth.

One after another, Zhi family martial artists, like a storm, surged towards the Demon Blood Pavilion.

Chu Nan sat calmly in the Demon Blood Pavilion, his expression unchanged.

"Are you Chu Nan, the master of the Demon Blood Pavilion? I've come to ask you to treat my Demon Blood drawbacks!"

"Me too!"

"I'm tormented daily by it; Demon Blood leaves me unable to live or die, Pavilion Master, please help me!"

...

As soon as the crowd entered the Demon Blood Pavilion, they began to complain simultaneously.

Zhi Qingge stopped them five meters away from Chu Nan, while Zhi Ruo pointed to the wooden plank in the center of the pavilion and said:

"Everyone, please don't rush. Before asking our pavilion master to treat your Demon Blood drawbacks, look at our requirements and then make your decision."

"Our pavilion master has priced everything transparently, without any deception, and these prices will not change, so we hope you won't make unreasonable demands."

As Zhi Ruo finished speaking, everyone's gaze fell on the content written by Chu Nan.

Upon seeing that treating a single first-level Divine Illumination Realm cost one hundred elemental stones, many people immediately raised their eyebrows.

When they noticed that if elemental stones were insufficient, superior cultivation techniques and martial skills at the Profound Tier and above were required, there were even whispers among them.

Finally, when they saw that Chu Nan even wanted Martial Intent Comprehension, some people cursed at him outright.

"Profiteer, purely a profiteer!"

"One hundred elemental stones for a first-level Divine Illumination Realm, why don't you go rob?"

"With such high prices, it seems you have no honest intention of curing us..."

"I don't agree with this price, I don't agree!"

"I'm at the Yang Wheel Realm, why is there no Yang Wheel Realm here, don't you plan to save Yang Wheel Martial Artists?"

...

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, criticizing Chu Nan. Their previously pleading faces immediately turned ferocious.

Soon, a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist stood up and said, "Chu Nan, even though you hold the means to save us, your prices are too outrageous. We might as well wait for the Blood Array's completion and solve it together then."

"That's right, let's wait for the Blood Array to be completed!"

"Chu Nan, you're going too far."

Chu Nan slowly raised his eyes, looking at the crowd, and said, "If you want to wait, then go ahead. This is the price; if you don't meet the requirements, you can leave."

He cared little about what these people thought and was not afraid of threats.

A few Cloud Sea Realm individuals, seeing Chu Nan would not yield, prepared to resort to force.

"Chu Nan, you're merely at the Divine Illumination Realm. Even killing a second-level Cloud Sea Realm doesn't change the fact that you're at the Divine Illumination Realm."

"It's understandable you want some elemental stones, but don't be so exorbitant. I suggest you revise immediately: ten elemental stones for a first-level Divine Illumination Realm, one hundred... twenty... twenty elemental stones for Cloud Sea Realm!"

"Otherwise, we won't agree!"

"That's right, we don't agree!"

A few Cloud Sea Realm martial artists advanced towards Chu Nan, showing an air of intending to act if he didn't comply.

But the Divine Illumination Realm's Zhi Qingge couldn't possibly stop these Cloud Sea Realm martial artists, immediately looking at Chu Nan with eyes pleading for help.

Chu Nan feared neither these martial artists. Rising abruptly, he declared, "Whether or not to treat is my decision, not yours. If you want treatment, bring the required elemental stones or martial skills. If you think it's too expensive, you can wait for the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to complete the Blood Array."

"My time is precious; I have no time to waste on you."

"If you don't produce elemental stones, leave now."

Chu Nan stood his ground unyieldingly, radiating dominance, as he held the only means currently to save the Zhi family, completely unafraid of these people's threats.

Eventually, provoked by Chu Nan, these Cloud Sea martial artists grew furious, their Cloud Sea energies erupting as they closed in on Chu Nan, saying, "This is the Zhi Family Secret Realm, not the outside."

"Here, it's our Zhi family's rules that are law!"

The words were immediately echoed by everyone, who shouted, "That's right, teach him a lesson!"

"Just because you can save us, does it make you think you're something here? Look around, where do you think you are?"

"Coming to our Zhi Family Secret Realm, even a dragon must coil, and a tiger must crouch!"
