Rong Zi silently picked up the fire crystal that Yun Jing pushed over, momentarily stunned by the overwhelming wealth.
That's really... a bit much.
With so many fire crystals, they must be very valuable, right?
Fire crystal is an excellent material for refining weapons, and Gu Xiaochui knows a little about it.
He picked one up and examined it, exclaiming in surprise, "These fire crystals are of very high purity, and their value is immeasurable."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi's eyes lit up instantly.
Is she about to return to the ranks of wealthy young women?
Just as Rong Zi could no longer hide his excitement.
Sudden……
With a 'plop', a drop of water was dripped onto the fire crystal in her hand.
Rong Zi was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look at Cai Niu on his shoulder.
At this moment, Cai Niu stretched her neck out, staring intently at the fire crystal in her hand, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
It swallowed hard, its face filled with ecstasy, "It smells so good..."
Rong Zi is in a very good mood right now.
She raised an eyebrow, held out the fire crystal in her hand to Cai Niu, and asked, "You like fire crystals?"
"Mmm." Cai Niu nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the fire crystal in front of her, murmuring with a drooling look, "It smells so good, I really want to eat it."
Rong Zi looked surprised.
Having spent so much time with Cai Niu, this was the first time Rong Zi had ever seen Cai Niu so eager for something, aside from the monster feast she prepared.
Seemingly noticing Rong Zi's confusion, Jun Moyao, who was sitting on her other shoulder, suddenly spoke up to explain.
"High-purity fire crystals like these are usually produced deep within the earth. Only after being tempered by the fire of the earth's core and undergoing many years of crustal changes can they possibly move to a location below the surface."
"Therefore, the fire attribute energy contained in high-purity fire crystals is of the same origin as the earth core fire on the Xuanhuo Turtle. As a Xuanhuo Turtle, Cai Niu would naturally crave their taste."
After listening, everyone looked enlightened.
I see.
Jun Moyao continued, "Other fire-attribute energies are not very useful to Cai Niu, but this fire crystal can give Cai Niu the opportunity to evolve. Eating it will be very beneficial to her."
Rong Zi was slightly taken aback.
evolution?
Can Cai Niu evolve?
She thought that Cai Niu would always be this small after living for tens of thousands of years.
Seeing that Cai Niu was really craving it, Rong Zi waved his hand and said generously, "Eat whatever you want. There's so much here, eat as much as you want."
These fire crystals were of no use to Yun Jing and Ling Mo.
At that time, she only needs to leave some for Cai Niu and some for Gu Xiaochui for weapon refining and cultivation. She can also keep some for herself. Then the remaining fire crystals can be used to solve the livelihood problem of their sect.
It's true what they say, when you're about to doze off, someone brings you a pillow.
The appearance of these fire crystals immediately solved their sect's predicament.
Absolutely perfect!
Upon hearing this, Cai Niu's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"Really, Master? I can really eat whatever I want?"
Rong Zi nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course, I'm not the kind of stingy master. You can eat as much as you want."
Rong Zi thought Cai Niu would take the one in her hand and eat it.
Unexpectedly, it darted off her shoulder and plunged headfirst into the pile of fire crystals.
Cai Niu lay among the fire crystals, oblivious to everyone else, and hugged one of them with her two front paws. She opened her mouth and bit down with a "whoosh".
Everyone present watched as it ate with gusto, swallowing the entire fire crystal in just a few bites.
Those teeth...
Although Rong Zi was somewhat surprised by the way and speed at which Cai Niu ate the fire crystal, her expression remained relatively calm.
Eat up, eat up.
Cai Niu is so small, even if she tries her best to eat, how much can she eat?
However……
Ten minutes later.
Rong Zi looked at the spot where Cai Niu was lying, which had been eaten into a rather large crater, and her expression couldn't help but start to crack.
Still not full?
It's only about the size of a fist.
How exactly did they manage to cram so many fire crystals in there?
Twenty minutes later.
Watching Cai Niu eat more and more, becoming more and more addicted.
And there's no sign of it stopping at all.
Rong Zi was no longer calm.
She frowned and squatted down in front of Cai Niu, who was still happily eating, and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you full?"
Small body, big capacity, is this thing's belly a bottomless pit?
Cai Niu held a fire crystal in each hand, stuffing her mouth full.
It crunched away as it answered Rong Zi in a muffled voice.
"I'm not full, I can still eat."
Rong Zi: "..."
Thirty minutes later.
Everyone watched as Rong Zi's expression gradually changed from joyful and carefree to one of heartache and pain.
However, despite this, Rong Zi did not take a strong stance to directly stop Cai Niu.
Instead, she tried suggesting, "Eating too much at once is hard to digest. How about we slow down and eat it later?"
Cai Niu swallowed the remaining fire crystal in her mouth with a 'gulp', held the two crystals with her two front paws, and looked up at Rong Zi with a pitiful expression.
"Does Master think I eat too much? You just told me to eat as much as I want, were you lying to me?"
Rong Zi: "..."
Rong Zi took a deep breath, clutched her chest, stood up and sat to the side, waving her hand and saying, "Eat, eat, eat. I didn't say you couldn't eat. Eat if you want, go ahead and eat."
Although she said that, her face was already ashen.
very good.
The Taotie army has gained another fierce general.
If things continue like this...
It probably won't be long before she's penniless again...
One hour later.
Having finally eaten her fill, Cai Niu lay sprawled out in the pit she had created in the pile of fire crystals, looking utterly relaxed and so comfortable that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Rong Zi looked at the pit and, suppressing a pang of heartache, asked, "Are you full?"
If she keeps eating like this, she might want turtle soup for dinner...
"I'm full~" Cai Niu was completely unaware of the dangerous glint in Rong Zi's eyes. She chuckled and stretched out her paw at her as if she were drunk. "Master, I'm so sleepy."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi reached out and grabbed its paw, then threw it into the Primordial Ring.
If you're sleepy, go to sleep right away.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Yun Jing asked in a low voice, "Master, what about the remaining fire crystals..."
Cai Niu actually ate several hundred fire crystals in one go.
Eat it this way.
Even if they now have a pile of fire crystals that is almost comparable to a small hill, it can't stop it from eating like this every day.
After a moment's thought, Rong Zi gave one-third of the fire crystal to Gu Xiaochui.
"Take these. Fire crystals are excellent materials for refining weapons, and since you have dual fire and metal spiritual roots, these fire crystals will greatly benefit your cultivation."
