Two days later, the sun was shining and there was a gentle breeze.
Hua Qingqing came to Gao's house.
The purpose of her trip was to visit Princess Zijin and transfer some spiritual power to her. This was something she did every few days after she met Princess Zijin.
Therefore, all the servants in the Gao mansion knew Hua Qingqing, and they could go directly into the inner house, Princess Zijin's residence, without any notification.
After Hua Qingqing finished transferring spiritual power to Princess Zijin, Qiu Mobai also came.
Seeing the sweat on Qingqing's forehead, he directly picked up his towel and wiped the sweat off Qingqing.
"Qingqing, you've worked hard!"
Hua Qingqing smiled!
"Hehe, then Brother Qiu is going to repay me!"
Qiu Mobai smiled and nodded, "Well, whatever Qingqing wants, I'll find it for you!"
Hua Qingqing's heart moved, and she remembered the matter about the spirit stone. So she quietly approached Qiu Mobai and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qiu, I guess those gems given to the brothers were all made by you, right?"
Qiu Mobai nodded to show his agreement.
Then he smiled and asked, "Does Qingqing like these gems too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Mobai took out a small and exquisite box from his arms and gently handed it to Hua Qingqing.
"This is specially for Qingqing!" Qiu Mobai said gently.
Hua Qingqing took the box with great joy and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Qiu, you are so kind to me!"
Her face was filled with a happy smile, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.
Qiu Mobai's eyes looked even gentler!
He really hopes Qingqing can grow up quickly!
"My brothers only have their own wives in their hearts. Only Brother Qiu cares about me! Hehehe!" Hua Qingqing complained coquettishly.
When Qiu Mobai heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say much.
At this time, Hua Qingqing couldn't wait to open the box, only to see a pink gem bigger than her fist lying inside!
The gem is crystal clear and exudes a charming luster, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Hua Qingqing couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.
She held the gem in her palm, looking at it again and again, and simply couldn't let it go.
Seeing Hua Qingqing so happy, Qiu Mobai couldn't help but smile.
However, at this moment, Hua Qingqing suddenly remembered the matter of the spirit stone and hurriedly told Qiu Mobai about it...
"Brother Qiu, I found that the ruby my second sister-in-law took should be a spiritual stone!"
Qiu Mobai was puzzled, "What is a spirit stone?"
Hua Qingqing explained.
"Spirit Stone is a special stone that contains rich spiritual energy. It looks like an ordinary gem on the outside, but it contains powerful energy inside."
"Spirit stones are extremely precious resources. Practitioners can improve their cultivation by absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones."
“It also does a lot of other things.”
"In short, spirit stones are an indispensable treasure for cultivators on their path to becoming immortals. Their existence provides a powerful boost for cultivators."
"Aunt Zijin's body is maintained by me with my spiritual power. But if there is a spiritual stone next to Aunt, it can also protect Aunt!"
[Of course, if I had spiritual stones, I could also increase my spiritual power and upgrade my cultivation! ]
[But this is not a world of cultivating immortals. It doesn’t really matter whether your cultivation level rises or not.]
Qiu Mobai nodded and realized the importance of spirit stones.
He took Qingqing directly to Prince Yan's Mansion, to the warehouse where the gems were stored.
A full hundred boxes of sparkling gems were neatly laid out before the eyes, like a dazzling mountain of treasure, jaw-dropping.
Qiu Mobai had a doting smile on his face, and whispered to Hua Qingqing: "Qingqing, just pick whichever of these gems you like! In fact, I was planning to give you a box!" His words revealed his endless love for her.
Hua Qingqing was startled by his bold move, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.
Of course she knew that her brothers and sisters had also received gems from Qiu Mobai, but each of them only had one!
But now, Qiu Mobai said he would give her a whole box! So arrogant! This really surprised her!
"Thank you so much, Brother Qiu!"
The two of them have been friends for so many years, and Qiu Mobai has given her many valuable things!
She's kind of used to it!
So don’t be shy!
He walked briskly towards the boxes full of gems and began to search through them excitedly.
Qiu Mobai stood quietly by and observed, and suddenly he noticed that all the gems selected by Qingqing were bright red and dark blue without exception.
Qingqing opened her eyes wide, staring at the boxes of gems, thinking secretly in her heart.
[Brother Qiu is really amazing! He was able to trick the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty into giving him so many good things! Hehehe!] Hua Qingqing had already heard from her brothers and knew exactly what was going on.
[There are really a lot of spiritual stones here! ]
[No, I must pick them all out! ]
[If Brother Qiu sells me as an ordinary gemstone in the future, who can I complain to? ]
Hua Qingqing's eyes were determined, and she secretly made up her mind to find all the spirit stones.
Hehehe, I also have to find a way to get Qiu Mobai to give them all to her!
Just as she was about to reach out to grab the dark blue gem, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her fingers, as if she were pricked by a needle.
Hua Qingqing was stunned. This time she did not pick up the gem directly, but carefully brushed her hand across the surface of the gem.
【Uh, what's going on? 】
[Why is there death energy on this spiritual stone? ]
She was secretly surprised, "It felt like it was dug out from a grave."
At this moment, Qiu Mobai heard her thoughts nearby and became very curious, so he walked forward to check.
Could this sapphire in front of me, which looks no different from other gems, really have been dug out from a tomb?
Hua Qingqing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She waved her hands in the air again, trying to sense more information.
Suddenly, she was stunned, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
[This aura! It's exactly the same as those treasure maps!] Hua Qingqing's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Qiu Mobai was shocked.
Treasure map!
Hua Qingqing did not hide it and quickly told Qiu Mobai.
"Brother Qiu, this gem seems to be related to the treasure map!" Hua Qingqing shouted excitedly.
Qiu Mobai nodded.
He believes in Qingqing's ability!
He reached out his hand to pick up the gem, but was stopped by Qingqing.
"Wait, do you have gloves?" Qingqing reminded, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
