Zhou Yuanyuan nodded.
Cultivation resources are scarce in the world of cultivation. The Yushan Sect has always been overbearing, occupying nine-tenths of the spiritual stone veins in the Langyuan Secret Realm.
For the sake of her family's safety, Zhou Yuanyuan had to keep secret the fact that she had robbed the headmaster's private treasury and that she was the actual owner of the Langyuan Secret Realm.
"Master, master, why don't you lift Zhuzhu's ban and allow Zhuzhu to eat people! In that case, no matter how many monks come to trouble you, Zhuzhu will make sure they never come back." Chaos Pearl waved its little claws and fell into violent mode.
A cultivator's spiritual energy is brimming with energy comparable to that of a spirit stone. The Chaos Pearl has long coveted it. Unfortunately, its master, for some unknown reason, has repeatedly forbidden it from "eating humans." The Chaos Pearl has always been puzzled: what's the difference between a cultivator and a spirit stone? Aren't both transformable into its energy?
"Zhuzhu, don't even think about eating people." Zhou Yuanyuan scolded her harshly. After thinking about it, and fearing that Chaos Pearl might pretend to obey, Zhou Yuanyuan warned: "Zhuzhu, I'm telling you, if you dare to eat people, I will...I will make you disappear into ashes."
For Zhou Yuanyuan, not being able to "eat people" is the most basic bottom line she gives to the Chaos Pearl.
"I understand, Master." Chaos Pearl hid aside and drew circles unhappily.
Sigh! Seeing so much energy flying away right before its eyes, the Chaos Orb expressed its displeasure.
Zhou Yuanyuan ignored the "troublemaking" Chaos Pearl and continued to discuss business with Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, why don't we find an opportunity to return the cultivation resources to the Yushan Sect?" Zhou Yuanyuan felt her heart bleed as she said this. She had spent so much effort to obtain the spirit stones, but she hadn't been willing to use a single one!
However, the standards of being a human being in two lifetimes prevented Zhou Yuanyuan from doing such an act of "robbery".
"Master, don't mind it. Just consider those things from the Yushan Sect as the rent for their cultivation in the secret realm. Think about it, Master, the monks stay in the secret realm to cultivate every day, and all the energy they consume is the spiritual energy that originally belonged to you, the master! It's only right that we collect some compensation from the Yushan Sect!" Xiaoyu knew Zhou Yuanyuan's heart knot and quickly found a reason to comfort Zhou Yuanyuan.
It seems... that's right! The spiritual energy in the secret realm was originally as if it were real. After the entire cultivation world moved in, the spiritual energy consumption was not a small amount. Otherwise, those high-level cultivators wouldn't have set their sights on the demon race's inner elixir.
Well, those things can be regarded as the rent paid to me by Yushan Sect. And as for Maoshan Sect and Xianxia Sect, should I also "collect rent" from them?
After listening to Xiaoyu's advice, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that the sky became much brighter.
Cough cough cough... Xiaoyu almost choked on her own saliva. The master had a wild imagination. It was already early morning, so it would be strange if the sky was not clear.
Zhaoyang had climbed up a high hill in the distance. The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the small valley where Zhou Yuanyuan was, dispelling the darkness and also dispelling the gloom in Zhou Yuanyuan's heart.
It's a new day again, and there are still many things waiting for me to do!
Zhou Yuanyuan straightened her chest and suddenly felt very proud.
"Xiao Yu, let's find an opportunity to go to the secret realm!" Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it and finally made a decision.
Seeing the "scapegoat" Mao Yifu being suppressed by Yushan Sect? Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't bear it. Since she had 'accepted' the rent from Yushan Sect, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to watch
He watched helplessly as the Yushan Sect's cultivators suffered heavy casualties.
Since Zhou Yuanyuan was half responsible for the cause of this fight, she felt that she had an obligation to take care of this matter.
"Okay, okay! Master, Zhuzhu also wants to go to the secret realm." Chaos Pearl was afraid that he would be left behind, so he hurried over.
"You are indispensable." Zhou Yuanyuan patted the round head of Chaos Pearl and said with a smile.
"Master, let's go find the small mirror! After hearing what you said, Xiaoyu also feels that the small mirror is a little strange." Xiaoyu's mind was still echoing whether the Qiankun Mirror had lied. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was determined to go to the secret realm, of course she agreed with both hands.
All three votes passed, and Zhou Yuanyuan's upcoming journey to the secret realm was decided.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan did not set off immediately. In order to avoid being held accountable by her mother Zhao Yunxiang, what Zhou Yuanyuan had to do now was to report to her grandfather Zhao Qingshan first.
After figuring out what to do next, Zhou Yuanyuan even put aside her original plan of catching some grouse. In a flash, she was already on the path down the mountain.
Feeling the gentle breeze, breathing the fresh air unique to Daqing Mountain with the scent of pine, and looking at the colorful wild flowers flashing from time to time in the green grass by the roadside, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that her mood was unprecedentedly comfortable.
Zhou Yuanyuan deliberately slowed down her pace to appreciate the rare beauty in front of her.
The morning sets the tone for the day.
In the fields, dotted with stars are the diligent backs of villagers tending to their crops.
Now that the land has been distributed to each household, everyone's enthusiasm for work has skyrocketed! Zhou Yuanyuan sighed.
Back in the day, even the most diligent villagers would wait for the bell to ring before heading out to work in the fields. It's not like now, when everyone's thoughts race towards their crops the moment they open their eyes. Life is sure to get better and better.
When passing by a red brick house at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned.
Zhou Yuanyuan remembers that the location of this red brick house was originally two dilapidated mud houses, which was Gutiezhu's home.
At the beginning of this year, there was no new house here! Could it be that Gutiezhu built it after returning to his hometown?
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but use her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. The bridal chamber was empty, with no sign of Gu Tiezhu.
Thinking of what Gutiezhu had done in the past few years, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but frown.
Zhou Yuanyuan had always found Gutiezhu strange. Was he a good guy? He even engaged in drug trafficking; he was hardly a good person. Was he a bad guy? He let Zhou Miaomiao, a stranger from the village, escape under Liu Jingyun's nose, knowing full well that he would be implicated. He was then tortured to death by Liu Jingyun.
I can only say that human heart is a strange thing. Bad people can have good intentions sometimes, and good people can have vicious moments.
Gutiezhu has been put on the national wanted list. Perhaps in the near future, he will have to atone for the bad things he has done.
He was just a fellow villager whom she had met a few times. Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head and put Gutiezhu behind her.
By the time Zhou Yuanyuan stepped onto the compacted dirt road in Zhaojiagou, it was already dawn.
"Hey! Granddaughter of the old secretary, you got up so early!" When Eighth Aunt saw Zhou Yuanyuan, she quickly ran to the door and greeted her.
