Sure enough, the shopkeeper and the waiter were waiting at the gate of the yard with anxious faces.
"This girl..." The shopkeeper spoke carefully, recounting what happened last night, "What happened in your yard? Not only is the spiritual power in your yard empty, but the spiritual power of our entire inn is gone. There are a lot of spiritual stones piled up under our inn as the cornerstone, but now, the spiritual power of the cornerstone is all gone. We found out that it started from your yard, and the spiritual power was absorbed in large quantities..."
"Hahaha, it was all sucked by this little chicken, in one night, it's really amazing. I don't know how much money you will have to pay this time." The arrogant laughter of the Wanling Patriarch sounded in Gu Qingxi's mind again. The laughter was full of obvious gloating.
Gu Qingxi looked at the little chicken in her hand expressionlessly.
Good guy, what is the origin of this little chicken?
He hasn't eaten for hundreds of years, and he eats so much at once?
"We are not blaming you, we just want to find out what happened..." The shopkeeper is a businessman after all. Even if he is anxious in the face of such a situation, he still explains politely.
"Needless to say, it was my spirit pet that did it. There was an accident. I will compensate you." Gu Qingxi thought of the shopkeeper's words and said simply.
The anxiety between the shopkeeper's brows was relieved at once. The customer is easy to talk to. It's great that he agreed to compensate so simply.
Then, Gu Qingxi invited the shopkeeper to come in and discuss the compensation.
After counting the losses, Gu Qingxi's face was as black as the bottom of the pot. She regretted it now and wanted to refuse to pay. Is it okay?
The spirit stones she got from the Supreme Sect had not even warmed up yet, and she had to pay them all, and it was not enough! She had to use some things in the storage bag as collateral. In total, it was 130 million spirit stones, and the shopkeeper gave her a little change because she was straightforward.
Moreover, the exchange rate of top-grade spirit stones for her was not one to one hundred, but one to one hundred and two. The shopkeeper also knew that top-grade spirit stones were rare, and basically no one outside was willing to exchange high for low.
But the core of the foundation stone under their inn was the top-grade spirit stones. Now it has been completely sucked out.
The top-grade spirit stones that Gu Qingxi compensated for can just make up for it.
Gu Qingxi almost vomited blood.
What is it called to go back to the pre-liberation era overnight? This is it.
Gu Qingxi has experienced the feeling of becoming rich overnight and then becoming poor overnight.
Of course, the gifts that Gu Qingxi bought for her senior brothers were not touched. However, a lot of pills and magic weapons given by the elders and peak masters of the Supreme Sect were compensated. And there was only a little bit left of the talisman she made.
When the shopkeeper accepted the talisman, he also praised the talisman for being well made, which exceeded the market price estimated for her.
Gu Qingxi said that she didn't really want such praise.
She now has only a few thousand spirit stones left, the pills given by the fourth senior brother, and the gifts given by the third and younger senior brothers. There are still some things left from the elders and peak masters of the Supreme Sect. There is only
one word on her body, poor.
After the shopkeeper left with a smile on his face, Gu Qingxi looked at the little chicken in her hand and wanted to crush it.
"What kind of spiritual beast is this?" Gu Qingxi certainly didn't think that the little guy in her hand was really a chick.
How could a real chick absorb all the spiritual energy of the inn overnight? How could it not have died after not hatching for 800 years?
"I don't know, but it's definitely not ordinary. Who knows what
kind of divine bird it will be when it grows up." Wan Ling Patriarch guessed. "Who cares if it will be a divine bird in the future? Now it's just a chick that makes me poor." Gu Qingxi held the chick in her hand and sat back on the bed.
The chick jumped down from her palm, then ran to its eggshell, chirped twice, and pulled the remaining half of the eggshell, asking Gu Qingxi to push it over.
"What is it doing?" Gu Qingxi was puzzled.
"For spiritual beasts, it is instinctive to eat the shell after hatching. And the shell is also of great significance to them. The essence contained in the eggshell is very good for their body. It is sharing half of the eggshell with you to eat." Wan Ling Patriarch explained.
Gu Qingxi's depressed heart softened when she saw the chick trying to push the remaining half of the eggshell over here.
"Chirp!" The chick looked at Gu Qingxi and pushed the eggshell with difficulty.
Gu Qingxi smiled and sighed. After all, it was hers. Even if she cheated herself, there were still many children who cheated their parents. Didn't those cheaters get beaten to death by their parents? What else could she do? She could only keep it.
"You eat it. I don't eat this. Be good, you eat it." Gu Qingxi pushed the eggshell to the chick and said gently.
The chick tilted its head to look at Gu Qingxi. It didn't chirp twice until Gu Qingxi urged it again, and then it started to eat the remaining eggshell happily.
The shopkeeper was happy to let Gu Qingxi live in the yard for free for three days because he got the compensation smoothly.
After three days, Gu Qingxi would have to pay or move out.
The reason why the shopkeeper was so generous was that he didn't expect that this ordinary-looking girl was so rich and could actually pay compensation.
The shopkeeper was originally prepared for a long tug-of-war. This little girl definitely doesn't have the money to pay, so I hope she has a sect behind her, and let the sect pay.
But generally, the sect will not give compensation so quickly. So before the shopkeeper talked to Gu Qingxi, he was always nervous and uneasy.
If Gu Qingxi was a casual cultivator, it would be even worse. Even if Gu Qingxi was detained and asked to work for the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce to pay off her debts, how long would it take for a casual cultivator with a foundation-building level to pay off her debts? As
a result, she never expected that, hehe, she would meet an invisible rich man.
The shopkeeper left happily, but Gu Qingxi was confused.
"It seems that I have to make money quickly." Gu Qingxi sighed and glanced at the chicks that were still eating eggshells. I always feel that feeding this chick is not an easy task. By the way
, didn't Master Yu give her a storage bag at the beginning, saying that it was food for the unhatched spirit beasts?
Gu Qingxi took out the storage bag and poured out the contents. It was indeed a pile of spirit stones.
Before Gu Qingxi could be happy, the chick that had just finished eating the eggshells saw the pile of spiritual stones on the bed, chirped happily twice, pounced on the spiritual stones, and took a deep breath.
Then Gu Qingxi saw that all the spiritual energy of the spiritual stones had been absorbed by the chick.
The chick burped and sat on the pile of stones with satisfaction.
Gu Qingxi: "…………"
Although this pile of spiritual stones was originally the rations for the chick, it was three years' rations! Not just one meal!
With such a large appetite, could she really afford to feed this chick? Gu Qingxi thought depressedly.
