Gu Yuan went down to the third floor and found that the maid at the counter had been replaced by someone else.
"Hello, where is that cute girl from before?"
Not seeing Shui Yaoyao, Gu Yuan stepped forward and asked.
"Are you Mr. Gu?" the maid asked with a smile.
"Yes." Gu Yuan nodded.
"It's like this. The girl asked me to tell you that she said she was very grateful to you for bringing her here to eat today and she was very happy. She said she would go back first, and if you want to find her, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion." The maid replied.
"Oh, okay, thank you." Gu Yuan nodded, wondering why this little girl didn't wait for him.
"Mr. Gu, the room on the fourth floor has been prepared for you." Maid Jiujiu came down from the fourth floor and said to Gu Yuan.
"Oh, I see." Gu Yuan was helpless. He originally wanted to go back to his own home, but Gu Shang insisted that he live on the fourth floor.
"By the way, where is that person from before?" Gu Yuan looked at the counter and asked Jiujiu.
"That maid has been expelled. She dared to disrespect Master Gu. We will definitely not keep her."
"Besides Gu...besides the owner of this building, is there anyone else living on the fourth floor?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
"Besides the owner of the building and his apprentice Miss Han, the only one on the fourth floor is you." Jiujiu thought for a moment and replied.
"Miss Han? Who is that? Why haven't I seen her on the fourth floor?" Gu Yuan asked. Gu Shang actually has a disciple?
"It's like this. Miss Han is just like the owner of the building. She has a cold temperament and doesn't like to contact the outside world. As for why you haven't seen her, it's normal. Miss Han is often not in the building, and even I have only seen her a few times." Jiujiu said.
"I see." Gu Shang was already very cold, and she actually accepted an ice cube as her apprentice?
"Master Gu, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first."
"good."
After returning to his home in the south of the city, Gu Yuan couldn't wait to lock the door.
Although it is safer in Xunhuan Tower, Gu Yuan still decides to obtain his own spiritual vein here. The system changes his life here, and his life must also start to change from here.
"System brother, come out!" Gu Yuan shouted, suppressing his excitement.
"Yes, host."
"My mission is complete. I calculated that with 10,000 gold coins in sales, plus the 10,000 gold coins I lent you, over a ten-day period, the principal and interest total 30,000 gold coins, which means I should give you 40,000 gold coins. How will you collect it?"
"The money has been deducted from the host's card."
"Forehead……"
Gu Yuan was stunned. Is it so fast?
After calculating his earnings for the past ten days, he subtracted 40,000 from 50,000 and added the previous 3,000, leaving him with 13,000 gold coins.
"Tsk tsk, this is not bad. This is too cool, right?" Gu Yuan nodded. Although the interest alone was as high as 20,000 gold coins, Gu Yuan felt that it was not a loss.
"System, where is my spiritual vein? Can you grant me a spiritual vein now?"
"Yes. The host can choose one of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth as the attribute of his spiritual vein."
"Um, brother System, isn't there anything that defies the heavens? For example, space, time and the like." Gu Yuan asked. As a person who cheats, choosing these things that ordinary people have is too inconsistent with his identity, right?
"Host, please note: This spiritual vein is a single-attribute spiritual vein. The host can increase the attributes of their own spiritual vein by completing the tasks issued by the system."
"Oh? So from now on, will I be a spiritual vein with multiple attributes, or will multiple spiritual veins with multiple attributes exist independently?" Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. It was indeed not that simple. He could still cheat.
"Multiple attribute spirit veins exist independently."
“Oh my god!”
Gu Yuan cursed. If he said that, wouldn’t he be going against the will of heaven?
What is a spiritual vein? It's where spiritual energy is stored. If you have multiple spiritual veins, not to mention the ability to cultivate multiple attributes, just from the perspective of storing spiritual energy, you can be equivalent to several people. That way, even if you can't defeat them, you can still drain them to death!
"My brother is so amazing! Hurry up, the system should give me a spiritual vein as soon as possible."
"Host, please select the spiritual vein attribute."
"By the way, I haven't chosen yet. Let me think about it." Gu Yuan scratched his head. What attribute should he choose?
"Gold and fire tend to attack, while wood and earth tend to defend. As for water, its defense is not very good, and its attack seems to be relatively gentle. What should we do?" Gu Yuan murmured. He regretted not being on the fourth floor. In this way, he could ask Gu Shang, who should know more.
"As a cheater, I don't pursue fighting and killing. The most important thing is to do business in a harmonious way and make money. How about choosing a defensive attribute?" Gu Yuan touched his chin and thought.
"Yes, choose defense. If you can't win, just run away! Anyway, as long as you're alive, you don't have to worry about running out of money."
"Then choose between wood and earth."
"Wood is controlled by fire and metal. No way. Wood controls earth, but earth gives birth to metal!" Gu Yuan's eyes lit up and he chose earth!
Earth produces gold, which is completely in line with your future identity as a wealthy man!
"System, I've made my choice. I'll choose the earth attribute!"
"Host, please close your eyes. I will now start the spirit vein granting process."
Gu Yuan followed the system's instructions, sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
"Everything in heaven and earth has a spirit. Those who cultivate spirits are going against the will of heaven..."
Obscure words rang in Gu Yuan's mind. The voice seemed to come from the sky, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Afterwards, Gu Yuan's consciousness fell into darkness.
The setting sun was fading, and the dim sunset glow filled the sky. The dim light shone through the crack in the door onto Gu Yuan's face, and finally mixed with the earth-colored light emerging from his body and disappeared.
Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes with a confused look in his eyes, and then he regained consciousness.
"Huh...was the spiritual vein empowerment successful?"
The most obvious change was in Gu Yuan's body. A black, pungent substance covered his entire body, making him feel nauseous.
After the spiritual vein was successfully endowed, the spiritual energy entered his body, which had the effect of cleansing his hair and marrow, forcing out all the impurities in his body.
“How disgusting.”
Gu Yuan pinched his nose and walked out of the door. He jumped directly into the water tank at the door and washed his body before jumping out. Anyway, this place was remote and there was no one around, so Gu Yuan didn't care about it.
After changing into clean clothes, Gu Yuan felt refreshed.
The most obvious feeling after having a spiritual vein is that there is a current of heat circulating throughout the body, and after circulation it converges into the spiritual vein.
That is the result of spiritual energy entering the body.
Gu Yuan clenched his fists, and it seemed that he had gained a lot of strength.
"Level One Spiritual Apprentice."
Looking at the setting sun in the sky, Gu Yuan felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. It was no longer the strong sense of loss and confusion of being in a foreign world with no relatives, but a sense of fulfillment and infinite expectations for future life.
From today on, Gu Yuan is a true spiritual cultivator.
"One day, I will stand at the top of the world and be admired by the world." Gu Yuan felt infinite pride in his heart.
