Chapter 24 Your Highness, his name is Long Aotian and he is now a fish
Xie Xiyi never remembered people's legal names or personal names, and he believed that there was no need to let boring things occupy his brain.
But the three big words "Long Aotian" kept lingering in his mind, like a pile of bird shit that had been dropped by a crow and lasted forever.
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He couldn't help but sneer.
After returning to his residence, Xie Xiyi called Xiaoqiu over and asked, "Do you like that monk?"
Xiaoqiu watched his expression, trying to discern something from it. After a few breaths, he failed and mumbled, "He cooks delicious food."
Xie Xiyi: "Just because the food is delicious?"
Xiaoqiu thought for a moment, then quickly knelt down and apologized, saying, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I said something I shouldn't have said to him. I won't do it again."
Xie Xiyi tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, a habit he had when thinking. After a moment, he said, "You move back and live with him starting today."
Xiaoqiu: "Hey, Your Highness——"
Xie Xiyi took off a sachet-shaped storage bag from his waist and threw it to Xiaoqiu, "Give him these spirit stones."
He smiled slightly, "I want to see how well he can take care of you."
Xiaoqiu understood that he had become the bet between the two of them. He showed a happy expression on his face, but immediately restrained it after seeing Xie Xiyi's expression. He pretended to be heartbroken and said: "Your Highness, I can't bear to leave you——"
Xie Xiyi said, "Then I won't go. I'll return the sachet."
Xiaoqiu immediately got up, put the sachet in his arms, and said, "Your Highness, I will go move the things now."
After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.
Xie Xiyi walked to the window. Under the lush purple bamboo forest, the dragon was bending in front of the house...growing vegetables?
Xie Xiyi closed the window and stopped paying attention.
*
Yes, that’s right, Chi Yu is growing vegetables.
He went to the market at the foot of the mountain to buy seeds, came back, plowed a large piece of vacant land in front of the dormitory, and then sowed the seeds.
Before Chi Yu started elementary school, he lived with his grandparents in the countryside. He had planted rice and grown vegetables. He did everything quickly and well. This was his talent.
Of course, cultivation is important, but not that important. So after he casually sowed the seeds, he did not use any magic to stimulate them, but waited slowly for the seeds to grow naturally.
After Xiaoqiu brought the bedding over, Chi Yu moved the large screen that separated the two rooms forward, squeezing half of the kitchen space and leaving a space that could accommodate a bed, thus becoming the hotel's double bed bunk bed.
Sometimes Xiaoqiu felt that his closeness to Chi Yu was a little puzzling. After all, he was also a member of the royal family. Although he was a bastard, he had never been ignored because of the uniqueness of the royal family of Daxia. He also grew up in luxury and did not lack the attention of Chi Yu.
But, he just likes Chi Yu.
Some people make you happy just by being close to them.
Hehe, His Highness has been very unhappy recently because the piano was broken, and he doesn’t want to stay around him.
Chi Yu had chopped up the original bed and used it as a stove, so when he went to the market to buy seeds, he also bought a bed.
Now that he had money in his pocket, all earned by himself, Chi Yu was generous and bought Xiaoqiu a Lingbao-style bed so that he could practice independently in his sleep. He asked for 20 medium-grade spirit stones for the price.
Xiaoqiu had no shortage of money. Although Dongjingzhou's spiritual energy was scarce, the Great Xia royal family had a deep foundation, and he received a monthly allowance of 10 mid-grade spirit stones. But since they had only known each other for a short time, Chi Yu gave him this money. He was quite touched, but he still had to say, "I don't have any money. I can't pay you back."
Chi Yu was happy and said, "What do I need from you? I'm a Forbes billionaire. Your Highness may not even be as rich as me, hehe."
He now has 20 billion RMB!
Who else! .jpg
Moreover, Lecturer Hong was obviously shocked and conquered by his domineering aura, and his attitude towards him was not bad. He even sent him this month's training resources in advance and gave him a Sumeru Ring out of his own pocket.
The Xumi Ring is a very rare item. The protagonist of "Shentu" had to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core to challenge and kill a Nascent Soul, and seized it from the Nascent Soul. Even the protagonist only used the Xumi Ring after reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, and he now has two!
Moreover, the currency unit of "Shentu" has been low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones for a long time, and top-grade spirit stones only became prevalent in Wanqiongzhou. From this, we can also see a very obvious pyramid structure.
The auction in Dongjingzhou uses low-grade spirit stones, the auctions in Wangxianzhou, Savage Land, Penglai and Zizaizhou all use medium-grade spirit stones, and the auctions in Beihuangjing and Wanqiongzhou all use top-grade spirit stones.
All the wealth flows to the last two continents
As for Jiuyou and the Demon Realm... well, these two continents don't use spirit stones as currency.
In short, Chi Yu is now a well-deserved rich man.
When a rich man spends 200,000 to buy someone a bed, it’s just like buying a cup of milk tea, just a little bit of water.
Chi Yu looked proud and hummed a lot. Xiaoqiu just thought he looked very handsome.
It stands to reason that all cultivators in the world of cultivation are handsome men and beautiful women, and appearance is the least important thing to mention. However, Xiaoqiu feels that Chi Yu looks better than all the cultivators he has ever seen.
like!
Xiaoqiu nodded seriously and said, "Our prince brought 148 top-grade spirit stones, 2,760 mid-grade spirit stones, and 8,090 low-grade spirit stones from Zaizhou."
Chi Yu: "..."
Damn, this prince is actually quite rich.
However, Chi Yu suspected that if Xiaoqiu continued to talk like this, he might even know the color of the Crown Prince's underwear, so he quickly interrupted, "Wait, you don't have to tell me these things."
He paused, then gently coaxed, "These are your Highness's private affairs. I will never reveal what I told you before. But to be on the safe side, you'd better not tell anyone about your Highness's affairs, lest someone target him. There's a saying that goes, 'A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.' It's no secret that your Highness is a designated Buddhist disciple. Although I think the Zen school has a good atmosphere, one must be cautious. Do you understand?"
Ball: “Oh…”
He nodded quickly, "I understand, I won't say anything more."
He was secretly annoyed. He had clearly sworn an oath in front of His Highness, but when he was in front of Chi Yu, he still couldn't hold back.
Chi Yu said, "That's good. Your Highness is a good person, but you are his weakness. If they want to harm him, it would be easy to start from you. You have to protect him, understand?"
Xiaoqiu's eyes sparkled and he nodded heavily, "I understand!"
What he said was exactly the same as what his father said to him!
He really did like the right person, he thought.
The name is just a bit awkward. Why is he called Long Aotian? It feels a bit vulgar.
However, he would not say it out loud, Xiaoqiu called out sweetly: "Brother Aotian."
Chi Yu: "!!"
Ouch, your face is red.jpg
So cool!

When Alsophila and Qiye arrived outside Chiyu's dormitory, they saw the familiar child at a glance.
In private, they asked, "Do they live in the same room?"
"Oh no, it's another schoolhouse, and another room for servants. I'm afraid the big boss is going to run away."
"We have to think of a way."
"Let him take us both in? 20 medium-grade spirit stones a month will do."
"I don't think so. You can hire a Jindan realm bodyguard for 12 yuan outside. Besides, the Zen sect has a very good learning atmosphere. No one bullies others."
"The prince is so arrogant and conceited, yet no one beats him. I am very disappointed with the monks of Zizaizhou."
They chatted for a while, but they didn't delay their business. They found Chi Yu and asked, "Um, Junior Brother Long, how are you? Are you used to it?"
Chi Yu smiled and said, "I'm used to it. This place is really nice."
"That's good, that's good." The tree fern looked at him with eyes full of affection.
Chi Yu was fully aware of the two's requests and asked directly, "You want to get the Spirit Stone Flower from me? Wasn't what I gave you before enough?"
Chi Yu's words were too blunt, startling Alsophila. He quickly explained, "We're both at Kudi Academy, and we only receive three mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation each month. That's too little, far from enough for cultivation. Furthermore, we're both weapon refiners, so money is tight. Seeing that you're well-off, we thought we could get a job from you. You're quite generous, aren't you?"
Qi Ye nodded wildly and smiled at him.
Chi Yu: I understand. Here comes my little brother.
However, Chi Yu did not have the idea of recruiting younger brothers like the male protagonist.
Chi Yu found it a bit troublesome to manage his younger brothers.
So he refused without a second thought, "I don't have any work for you guys here."
Alsophila and Qiye immediately showed disappointed expressions.
"But," Chi Yu laughed, "if you want to make money, I have a way."
The brothers' eyes suddenly lit up, and they quickly took out the Xueling fragrant tea they had saved and offered it to Chi Yu.
Chi Yu did not refuse and sat down to enjoy the tea made and served by the two brothers.
When the tea reached the right temperature, Chi Yu took a sip from the cup, moistened his throat, and then said, "Making money is actually not difficult. You can only take what I can give you if you find work for me.
Even if it weren't me, you could only earn a dozen or twenty mid-grade spirit stones a month by finding other cultivators to provide services. How much money is that? Not much at all. You need to broaden your horizons. You can't just do business with one or two people. You need to look at the whole world and earn money from cultivators all over the world. That's how you can really make money."
"Ah?" Alsophila and Qiye widened their eyes. "How do we do this?"
The little balls all sat over and listened with bated breath.
Chi Yu spoke freely, "There are many ways to do this. The most basic one is to use your status as a Zen monk as a pretext. There are many monks coming from the Continent to study every year, right? Will they be confused when they arrive?"
Just like me, if you two hadn't led me, I wouldn't know where to go. This money-making strategy is to consolidate information about all the major and minor Zen sects and sell it. The price shouldn't be too high or too low. 200 low-grade spirit stones is a good price. More than that and cultivators won't buy it, but less won't work either. This business can't last forever. Once this opportunity arises and is easy to imitate, competitors will emerge. So it's only a short-term business, but if you do well, you should be able to earn a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones a month."
"Of course, this is all short-term business. To make money, we need to take a longer-term view. We need to be able to reap the monks' wallets over the long term.
I noticed one thing. The low-level communication method for cultivators nowadays is talismans, and the high-level communication method is voice communication with jade tablets. Since you are weapon refiners, can you refine a spiritual weapon? I want to think about how to explain this spiritual weapon to you——"
Chi Yu thought for a moment and said, "As long as the holder can use it, it will enable multiple people to log in to the same place and achieve cross-border communication.
If you refine this kind of spiritual weapon, you can sell it at a low price first, and then charge a fee for cross-border communication. For example, you can set up a public forum, and after the spiritual weapon is sold at a low price, cultivators who want to enter the forum will have to pay a fee, 10 low-grade spiritual stones per month will be enough.
When we have the ability, we can continue to research and develop this spiritual weapon, adding more functions. Cross-border communication is one of them. We can also develop more advanced imaging functions to achieve cross-border recording of beautiful life, and charge for this function..."
"Free is always the most expensive. Remember this. Don't be greedy for small profits in the short term, but focus on the many paid services that come after free. Of course, don't go too far, otherwise it will easily backfire."
Alsophila and Qiye were overwhelmed with emotion and their eyes were as sharp as torches when they heard what they heard. Qiye even took out a jade slip and wrote down everything Chi Yu said.
Chi Yu concluded: "Making money is really simple. It all depends on who comes up with a good idea first."
Alsophila's attitude towards Chi Yu was even more respectful. Both he and Qiye knew that since he could easily come up with such a good idea, he must be genuinely trying to help them, and he did not hide anything. What a shining character this was. From this moment on, the two brothers had already submitted to him in their hearts.
Alsophila said firmly, "We'll choose this method, but we need to study the spiritual weapon you mentioned carefully. If there's anything I don't understand, can I ask you?"
Chi Yu scratched his head and said, "I'm just saying it casually. To be honest, I don't know if I can refine it. You can choose this one, but you can't blame me if you fail."
The two brothers nodded vigorously, "Of course!"
In the end, they both returned home satisfied.
Xiaoqiu looked at Chi Yu in admiration, "How do you know so much?"
Chi Yu said mysteriously, "Because I am Long Aotian, hahahahahahaha."
As he spoke, he was overjoyed.
Little Ball: “…”
So what does it have to do with the name?
But why is this person always so happy?
*
After dinner, Xiaoqiu went to the palace to visit his prince.
After he left, the wicks in the hall were never changed, so the hall was pitch black.
Xiaoqiu quickly changed the wick, and the hall suddenly became as bright as day.
Xiaoqiu entered the inner hall holding a lamp and saw Xie Xiyi sitting in front of the window. The zither was disassembled and the strings were plucked beside it.
Xie Xiyi stood with his shoulders straight and still looked elegant, but Xiaoqiu could see a hint of gloom in his eyes.
He put down the lamp and did not dare to comfort her.
This is what Venerable Shangshan meant by the paranoid mind. As long as he likes something, he will never give up. This is contrary to the Zen principle.
In fact, Your Highness is not suitable to be a Buddhist disciple at all. When it comes to the emperor of Great Xia, this little problem is not a big deal, but why should you be a Buddhist disciple?
Xiaoqiu didn't understand the inside story, and his father didn't tell him either, but it didn't matter, he didn't have such a strong curiosity.
Xiaoqiu told Xie Xiyi what happened today, trying to cheer him up.
Xie Xiyi thought thoughtfully, "It seems like this is a good dragon."
Xiaoqiu corrected him, "Your Highness, his name is Long Aotian."
Xie Xiyi smiled slightly and said in a light tone: "Now it's a fish."
Little Ball: “…”
I forgot that his prince is a rebellious person.
