Tu Longjian smiled and nodded, replying calmly, "My master treats me well."
She held up the gift in her hand, her eyes smiling, "It was given to me by my master, so I brought it back to give to you."
Gan Xiuming was moved and wanted to take her hand, but Tu Longjian pretended to fix her hair and subtly avoided him.
He didn't notice Tu Longjian's subtle resistance, and said tenderly, "Your master gave you such a treasure, of course you should keep it for yourself, why give it to me?"
"Do we still need to distinguish between each other?" Tu Longjian asked with a half-smile.
Gan Xiuming chuckled softly in agreement and honestly accepted the gift.
Although the Venerable Yan was stingy with his gifts, offering only a mortal flute as a formal apprenticeship present, his cultivation was profound, and he was curious to see what treasures the other party, who favored Tu Longjian so much, would give him.
He took the bundle, opened it, and found a wilted herb and a magical artifact inside.
"Well, your master's move was rather ungenerous. I should have chosen another peak."
Gan Xiuming concealed the disdain in his eyes and smiled wryly.
I gave him a gift out of kindness, but now even a magical artifact can't satisfy his appetite. I should have just used a tetanus blade to cut him.
Tu Longjian was a little angry. She lowered her head and rolled her eyes. When she looked up again, her bright eyes were moist, and she looked dejected.
"Master said our peak is indeed quite poor. Does Xiu Ming look down on my gift...?"
Gan Xiuming hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, but Tu Longjian turned her head away with a mournful expression. He panicked and quickly comforted her:
"No way, how could I possibly dislike your gift?"
"I'm so happy that Xiangxiang gave me a gift. Whatever it is, the sentiment behind it is very precious."
Tu Longjian then turned his head and smiled through his tears, picking up the Fire Bell and giving it a detailed introduction.
"Don't underestimate this just because it's a magical artifact. It's the best magical artifact my master gave me."
"It took me a lot of effort and it wasn't easy to get."
—It was originally the worst magical artifact given to me by my master.
—It took a lot of effort to dig it out from the corner.
—It was hard to come by; it was a difficult upgrade to become a beautiful piece of junk that I managed to find from my senior brother.
She worked really hard and put her heart into it.
"It is a spiritual artifact that can help one to clear their mind. You should wear it carefully, as if I were by your side."
Tu Longjian squinted and smiled.
"Thank you, Xiangxiang, I will."
Upon hearing her words, Gan Xiuming looked at the exquisitely crafted bell in his hand and couldn't help but feel delighted. He immediately put it on as if it were a precious treasure.
Gan Xiuming's favorability increased by +3, currently at 63.
There aren't many treasures in the cultivation world that can assist one's divine sense, so this will be very useful in the future when fighting against inner demons.
However, he didn't forget to kick Tu Longjian's master while he was down. That man in blue gave him a great sense of crisis, so he emphasized the man's stinginess to prevent Chunxiang from being kidnapped by him.
“Your master… sigh.” He turned his gaze to the withered herbs, hesitant to speak, but his expression was full of reproach.
To highlight his own generosity by taking advantage of the other party's stinginess, Gan Xiuming generously took out a pile of glittering herbs, pills, and magical artifacts from his exquisite storage bag and placed them on the ground.
“These are from my master, take whatever you like.” He stood up confidently, his tone magnanimous.
Still feeling it wasn't enough, he handed over a small, exquisite storage bag, saying with some reluctance:
"He probably didn't give you a storage bag either."
Otherwise, Tu Longjian wouldn't have carried those two "treasures" in a bundle by himself.
"I got an extra one, so I'll give it to you."
Storage bags are considered relatively precious items in the cultivation world.
The Poison Peak Master had a high opinion of Gan Xiuming, who had a mutated spiritual root, so he was quite generous with his money.
Gan Xiuming's own larger storage bag was about ten cubic meters, while the storage bag he gave to Tu Longjian was smaller, only about five cubic meters, but it was still considered precious.
Gan Xiuming silently thought to himself, there will be more in the future. What does it matter if it's given to his woman? It's the same whether he takes it or not.
Tu Longjian's eyes lit up, and he accepted it with delight.
She knew the value of storage bags. Although her master had prepared several storage bags in her cave, some even with a hundred cubic meters of space, she didn't flaunt her wealth.
A small storage bag would be nice for storing trash.
Seeing her happy expression, Gan Xiuming felt very proud. In his excitement, he took out many treasures from his storage bag and filled a small courtyard.
"Take whatever you like." He acted like a nouveau riche who had suddenly become wealthy, exuding extravagance.
However, he didn't notice that a small egg had also rolled out.
[Triggered Fortune Prediction]
Xiao Yi is becoming increasingly intelligent. It can not only predict Gan Xiuming's fortune in advance, but also actively detect when he encounters a treasure.
[TuTu, there's an egg over there, it's something good!]
Upon hearing this, Tu Longjian raised an eyebrow. She was just worried about not being able to choose from all the herbs and magical artifacts in the courtyard.
All of these were items for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Although Gan Xiuming might have thought they were treasures, he still believed that Tu Longjian was still in the Qi Refining stage.
However, Tu Longjian's cave dwelling was fully equipped with all the supplies needed for the Golden Core stage, and even had a few pills for the Nascent Soul stage.
The gentle master is quite considerate.
What Gan Xiuming was so proud of about his extravagance was actually something that was placed in the most remote corner of her cave, and it wasn't anything special to her.
Gan Xiuming may have other treasures at the Golden Core level, but it's clear he won't give them to her.
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's suggestion, Tu Longjian swiftly scooped up a pile of treasures from the area where the little egg was located.
She looked quite touched, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Xiu Ming, you are so generous."
