Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Made Money
By the afternoon, the delivery kites gradually returned.
The first thing they did upon returning was to go to Li Chang'an to return the small storage bag.
At two o'clock in the morning, the Golden Feathered Spirit Kite came to report that all the Spirit Kites had returned.
Li Chang'an nodded and went to the warehouse to check the number of storage pouches, only to find that nearly thirty were missing.
"Huh?" He was a little puzzled.
The spirit birds are more powerful than him, and there is no one or demon in the current Cangxuan Realm who can defeat them. It is impossible for anyone to steal those small storage pouches.
Could it have been lost en route? But if that were the case, the kites should have reported it.
Li Chang'an couldn't figure out the reason, so he planned to ask early in the morning.
Early the next morning, a flock of kites gathered by the Ningjing River to play and drink.
After feeding the pigs, chickens, and ducks, Li Chang'an hadn't even reached the riverbank when he noticed some of the spirit kites carrying small storage pouches slung across their bodies.
Did you forget to return it?
Just as Li Chang'an was about to step forward to ask, he noticed that the small storage bags were either decorated with bows, dolls, or anime badges, or had ribbons or scarves tied to their straps.
Those small storage pouches were all made by him using the simplest white cloth with silver patterns, and none of them had any decorations.
Where did these decorations come from?
Li Chang'an stood there stunned for two seconds. A spirit kite saw him and flew over.
It also carried a small storage bag that had not been returned.
The spirit bird lowered its head and took out an orange-yellow marigold from its small storage pouch—the one Xiao Yao had given it.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an heard the bird say, "Master of the Immortal Mountain, I also want to decorate my storage bag with this flower."
Although it can use its spiritual power to ensure that the flower will never wither, it has no pins on it, so it can only be placed in a bag and cannot be used for decoration.
Last night, it saw the storage pouches decorated on other spirit kites and was extremely envious. After observing them for a while, it discovered that there was a novel needle on the back of those decorations that fixed them to the storage pouches.
It wants to too.
Li Chang'an glanced at the marigold and then at the serpent bird.
For some reason, I seemed to see a pleading look in its small eyes.
Li Chang'an chuckled and took the marigold and the small storage bag from the spirit bird. "Okay, wait a moment."
He went back into the house, took out a needle and thread, and sewed the marigolds onto the edge of the storage pouch. He then returned it to the waiting spirit kite by the Ningjing River.
"alright."
The calendula has been infused with spiritual power by the spirit bird, so it will not wither and die, and the thread that firmly fixes the flower stem will not damage it.
The spirit kite happily spread its wings, stretched its head, slung the small storage bag over its shoulder again, and flew back to the other spirit kites, seemingly to show off.
Li Chang'an found it interesting, took out his phone, took some photos, and posted them on Weige.
The photos show kites playing, taking flight, and splashing in the water, as well as close-ups of kites with small cloth bags slung across their shoulders.
Thank you everyone for your love for the kite bird.
The post on Weibo received hundreds of comments within seconds.
Is this bird called a kite? Can it be kept as a pet?
Are they spirit birds from Xuanling Immortal Mountain? Why did you think of using them to deliver packages?
[This little bag is so cute, where did you buy it?]
Many comments expressed curiosity, so Li Chang'an simply opened the Musical Instruments app and started a live stream.
Soon, tens of thousands of people came to the live broadcast room.
Li Chang'an switched the camera to the kites and answered the questions in the comments one by one.
“The Spirit Birds are spirit birds from the Xuanling Immortal Mountain. They cannot be kept as pets, and I don’t keep them.” His relationship with these Spirit Birds is one of employment.
"The small cloth bag is made casually and is very simple. Just sew a bag and add a strap. You can buy the fabric online and make it yourself."
[Look at the ribbon I gave the kite! Does it like it?]
[And me, that anime badge was a gift from me. I heard some birds like to decorate with pretty things, and this badge's stem is sparkly, so I gave it to it.]
Then other people in the live chat came up and said that they were the ones who sent that item.
Li Chang'an smiled and replied to the comments: "Thank you everyone. They really like these things. They were going to return the little cloth bag to me, but they didn't. They've been carrying it with them ever since."
A wail came from the live chat.
Many people were so shocked and delighted when they received the package that they regretted not giving the Lingyuan birds something when they heard Li Chang'an say that the Lingyuan birds liked it.
"Giving things to the Spirit Iris Birds isn't necessary, so please don't worry about it. As long as you like them, that's fine."
As soon as Li Chang'an started his live stream, Xiao Yao and her husband clicked in to watch.
Li Chang'an's camera kept capturing the kites. She noticed a marigold on the small cloth bag on one of the kites, the one she had given it.
Xiao Yao excitedly patted her husband's arm, and only after calming down did she post a comment:
[I saw the marigolds I gave to the kite! They were all half-dead before, but after it arrived, they grew and bloomed rapidly, looking incredibly healthy and vibrant!]
[Huh? I checked on the plants on my balcony, and they really do seem to be doing better. The damaged leaves that used to be are all intact now.]
The plants in my garden haven't changed much. If I had to say, the grass is a little greener and the flowers are a bit more vibrant.
"The Spirit Kite is a descendant of the divine bird Azure Phoenix, and wherever it goes, life flourishes. If the plants are in good condition normally, the changes may not be very noticeable."
Li Chang'an answered the comments and also gave a brief introduction to the Spirit Iris Bird.
People from the Cultivation Alliance were also watching the live stream.
After watching for a while, they quietly updated the information about the Spirit Kite Bird on the small forum used by cultivators.
Cough, another new species has been added to the cultivation world.
As time went by, the number of viewers in the live stream gradually increased.
Some of the kites have gone back, while others are still preening their feathers by the river.
Li Chang'an then answered the new fans' questions about when he would sell vegetables next. Seeing that everyone had no further questions, he set up his phone by the river to livestream the spirit kites while he and the mushroom spirits went to work in the fields.
*
At noon, Li Chang'an closed the live broadcast room and went to Ling'an City.
His first attempt at selling vegetables online was a complete success, so he had to buy something to celebrate.
This time, the Mushroom Spirit, the Spirit Kite Bird, the Tea Spirit, and the Celestial Lord Tianxuan all worked hard. He bought the Mushroom Spirit a mobile phone and a projector, and the Tea Spirit a mobile phone and a tablet computer. He bought the Spirit Kite Birds various beautiful ribbons.
Seeing how much the kites love decorations, these ribbons are perfect for them to take back and decorate their nests within the kite leaf barrier.
As for Tianxuan Star Lord...
Li Chang'an was somewhat perplexed.
Tianxuan Star Lord usually has a calm and Buddhist demeanor, gentle and approachable, but it seems there is nothing he particularly likes.
Li Chang'an scratched his head and finally bought Tianxuan a sandalwood bracelet.
Just before heading home, Li Chang'an thought for a moment, then went back to the mobile phone store and bought a mobile phone and a tablet computer.
Back in Xuanling Immortal Mountain, Li Chang'an distributed the items.
The kites were delighted and carried the ribbons back home. The tea spirit happily held its phone, studying how to use it. The mushroom spirits, meanwhile, curiously gathered in front of the projector.
Li Chang'an connected the projector to his phone, selected an animated film on a video app, and projected it onto the white wall in front of him.
"You can watch cartoons, TV series, or videos."
The mushroom spirits are simple-minded, just like children, and were quickly captivated by the content of the cartoon.
Seeing that they liked it, Li Chang'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Li Chang'an took the screen and the mushroom spirits back with him. He installed the screen on the Xuan Tang tree and taught the Xuan Tang tree how to use a mobile phone and projector to play cartoons.
He chose the best projector and screen, and the effect of showing cartoons was many times better than showing them on a white wall in the afternoon.
The mushroom spirits loved it even more, clucking and huddling together, engrossed in watching the cartoon.
Li Chang'an nodded in satisfaction before leaving Wolushan.
By the time we got back inside, it was completely dark.
Li Chang'an took out his last new mobile phone and tablet and placed them at the door of the Blade & Soul room.
During this time, the senior sword spirit has been guiding his cultivation, which has been very hard work for him.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an went to the study, where Tianxuan was reading a book.
Li Chang'an took out his phone, opened the banking app, and said, "Besides the gifts, I think it would be appropriate to give you a salary as well."
The wages for tea essence, fungus essence, and spirit kite can be paid with the water of the Ningjing River, while the wages for Tianxuan Star Lord will be paid in real money.
"The final payment for the website development is still outstanding..."
Li Chang'an's voice abruptly stopped.
Tianxuan was listening attentively when she suddenly saw him standing there, stunned.
"What's wrong?" Tianxuan asked, puzzled.
The next second, Li Chang'an's eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly.
He jerked his head up, asking incredulously, "Am I hallucinating?!"
He showed Tianxuan his phone screen, which displayed the balance on his bank card.
After receiving the package, the money paid by the customers for their groceries was deposited into his bank account.
Tianxuan glanced at it and chuckled, "It's not an illusion, it's real."
Li Chang'an was shocked: "Really? I've made so much money?!"
How much?
That is, he was able to pay off all his debts in one go!
