Just as Wuxiang said, the golden tiger came to see her again the next day.
The little guy was very smart. He stood on the windowsill so that he could escape at any time.
Maybe it’s because of the fish eyes he ate, he looks a little rounder, but overall he’s still thin, with a sunken belly.
Does this little guy only eat fish eyeballs and nothing else?
This time Fan Li didn't give it to him so readily. She held up the fish eye and asked temptingly, "Do you want to eat it?"
The golden tiger seemed to understand what people were saying and nodded frantically, almost pouncing on them.
Fan Li put forward a condition: "Contract with me and I will give it to you."
The golden tiger blinked, looked very resistant, and slowly took two steps back.
Fan Li knew it wouldn't be that easy. Fortunately, she had made preparations. She spent all her spirit stones in one go last night and reproduced a dozen fish eyes, all of which were now placed on the table.
Seeing so many fish eyes, the golden tiger's eyes lit up instantly, saliva flowed down, and it couldn't help but take two steps forward.
"I still have a lot of these things, but they are all garbage to me. But even if they are garbage, I will not give them to others for free." Fan Li casually pinched a round fish eye in his hand with a casual gesture.
"So I can only give you food if you sign a contract with me, otherwise, forget it."
Translated it means: Follow me and you will have enough food.
Fan Li sat casually on the chair, looking as if saying, "I don't really want to contract you either." After that, he waved his hand and put all the fish eyes into the mustard bag.
When the golden tiger saw that the fish eyes had disappeared, it hurried to Fan Li and lowered its head without even having time to suck back its saliva.
This is a gesture of surrender.
Fan Li was overjoyed, but he still maintained a sophisticated demeanor and coughed twice: "Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly accept you."
The golden tiger lowered its head even lower, fearing that Fan Li would not want it.
The contract ceremony went smoothly. Fan Li felt like she was dreaming. She actually had a spirit beast companion!
Fan Li had a smile on her lips. This was probably the first time she had a sincere smile since her rebirth.
"I need to give you a name...well, I'll just call you Xiaoju!"
There was no more vigilance on the golden tiger's face. It trusted Fan Li wholeheartedly and rubbed its furry head against Fan Li's legs affectionately.
Fan Li picked it up and promised it: "From now on, we are comrades-in-arms. I will definitely protect you."
The golden tiger looked at her without blinking, unable to believe it, wondering if he had heard it wrongly.
Since ancient times, contracted spirit beasts have unconditionally protected their masters, and the contract ceremony is a master-slave ceremony, and their status has never been equal.
The golden tiger can inherit the memories of its ancestors. It remembers very clearly that its ancestors were used as human shields by those cruel monks and were scapegoats who could be used to block the knife at any time. Therefore, it hates and fears the monks.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was about to starve to death, it would never make a contract with any monk.
The golden tiger felt that his master was no different from other monks, but it seemed that he was a little different.
Before the golden tiger could figure it out, its stomach rumbled like thunder.
Fan Li chuckled and almost forgot to "reward" the little guy.
As soon as the golden tiger saw the fish eyes, it pounced on them impatiently and started to eat them with a grunt, thinking to itself: Its owner must be a good person!
Fan Li held his cheek and watched it eating on the table. He felt inexplicably healed and couldn't help but touch its head.
It's so... so soft. It's so nice to touch!
The golden tiger finished more than a dozen fish eyes in a few bites. After eating, it looked up at Fan Li expectantly and pawed at her with its claws, as if to say: Not enough! Eat more!
Fan Li coughed twice in embarrassment: "Are you a glutton? Just eat this much today."
The golden tiger's stomach was still rumbling, and it looked at her sadly.
Fan Li: “…”
She suddenly realized a problem. She was so poor now that she might not be able to support this glutton.
The joy of contracting the spirit beast gradually faded, and Fan Li felt an extremely strong sense of urgency. She had to hurry up and earn spirit stones! Otherwise, the spirit beast she had obtained with great difficulty might starve to death!
"You stay here to guard the house, I'll be back soon."
Fan Li left the house after saying this, leaving the golden tiger alone in the wind, and it had a new judgment in its mind.
The owner is a good person, but he is quite stingy.
*
After Fan Li went out, he went straight to the market at the foot of the mountain.
Although Penglai Town is a mortal town, because it is backed by the Penglai Fairy Mountain, monks can be seen everywhere in the market.
The way Fan Li is thinking of making money right now is very simple, which is to sell the things in the mustard bag that she has no use for, such as elixirs like the Rejuvenating Pill and the Body Refining Pill, as well as the things that her senior brothers had given her before.
Fan Li set up a simple stall. At first, no one noticed her. The stall owners nearby suggested that she stand up and shout out her wares so as to attract buyers.
Fan Li thanked him for his kindness, but remained seated without moving, nor did he imitate others in hawking their wares.
Seeing her being so passive and lazy, the stall owner shook his head and stopped trying to persuade her.
Young people are just thin-skinned. How can they make a lot of money like this?
The stall owners nearby saw that she was so young and didn't think she could produce anything good, so they didn't take her seriously.
Sure enough, it was almost evening and no one came to Fan Li's place yet.
The market is most lively in the evening, when colorful lights light up overhead, more and more people come, and it becomes extremely lively.
The stall owners were shouting louder and louder, arguing with each other until their faces turned red.
Fan Li continued to do his own thing, meditating with his eyes closed.
At this time, a cultivator came over curiously and saw something that looked extraordinary. He asked, "Daoyou, are these clam pearls or sun and moon pearls you are selling?"
Fan Li opened her eyes and saw a tall man with a thick beard standing in front of her.
She replied, "Sun and Moon Pearl."
The bearded man was a little suspicious: "Can I touch it?"
"Please."
The bearded man carefully took the bead in his hand and examined it carefully. He became more and more shocked. It was actually the Sun and Moon Bead!
Both clam pearls and sun-moon pearls are produced by clam spirits and are very similar in appearance, but the biggest difference between the two is that any clam spirit can produce clam pearls, but sun-moon pearls require a clam spirit to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon over a thousand years and can only produce one in its lifetime!
As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. Although the Sun and Moon Pearls are not as practical as magic weapons, they are deeply loved by female cultivators.
If a man can take out the Sun and Moon Pearls, any female cultivator will be overjoyed, and the possibility of forming a Taoist couple will greatly increase.
There was a graceful fairy hidden in the bearded man's heart. He was just worrying about what gift to give to please others. Now he accidentally saw the precious Sun and Moon Pearls, and it was really a piece of cake for him to get them!
The bearded man decided to take it down no matter what!
"Daoyou, please name a price."
This Sun and Moon Pearl was the token of love that Su Muqing exchanged with Fan Li. It is a genuine treasure.
But Fan Li thought it was really unlucky. She was afraid that keeping it would ruin her luck, so she just wanted to sell it quickly, so she said, "I have a connection with my Taoist friend. I'll sell it at a low price of 150 spirit stones."
The bearded man hesitated and asked, "Is it a top-grade spiritual stone?"
If it were high-quality spirit stones, he wouldn't be able to take out that many.
I'm afraid we'll never meet again.
Unexpectedly, Fan Li said, "Middle grade."
The bearded man's eyes lit up, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
After handing over the money and receiving the goods, the bearded man left happily.
The monks who came here to shop for treasures all had sharp eyes. No matter how well the beard was concealed, there were still some people who noticed Fan Li's small stall and came over curiously.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.
"Fellow Daoist, these pills are of top quality. I want them all. How much do you want for them?"
"Oh my god, this, this, this... this is the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Fruit! Don't fight with me for it, I want it!"
"Fire tin wood, golden sun mushroom, fire sand, fire essence date... my goodness, you are the reincarnation of a treasure bowl, where do all these treasures come from!"
Soon, Fan Li's stall was surrounded by monks from all walks of life, and the business was so booming that the nearby stall owners were dumbfounded.
The bearded man got a great bargain and was so happy that he was laughing as he walked. He accidentally bumped into someone and the Sun and Moon Pearls in his hand fell.
"You're so blind, can't you see the road properly?!" Shen Rong scolded.
The bearded man wanted to get angry, but when he saw the other person was wearing a blue shirt with cloud patterns, he knew he couldn't afford to offend him.
He quickly picked up the treasure and hid it, saying with a grin, "Sorry, sorry, I was blind."
The bearded man was about to leave after saying this.
Su Muqing stretched out his hand to pull back the beard and asked in a deep voice, "What are you holding in your hand?"
