Gu Xiaochui blinked blankly, "All of these...are they all for me?"
Such precious fire crystals, how could his master give him so many at once?
Rong Zi nodded. "Mm."
Even the most precious things only have value if they are used.
Her sole purpose in wanting to earn more money was to exchange it for more cultivation resources for the little gluttons in their sect.
Right now, the fire crystal is the most useful cultivation resource for Gu Xiaochui.
When they found gold in the secret realm of Junmang Mountain, Rong Zi prioritized Gu Xiaochui, giving him half of it.
The gold is still lying in his jade storage.
As for Rong Zi's... they all ended up in Xiao Bai's stomach.
Rong Zi: ...Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes!
Gu Xiaochui felt a warm glow in her heart, and her eyes were filled with emotion as she looked at Rong Zi.
Although his master wasn't as wealthy as the elders or sect leaders of those major sects, and was often quite stingy in certain matters, she was never stingy with her own people when it came to matters of cultivation.
Such a master is probably one of a kind, even if you look at the entire cultivation world.
Just as Gu Xiaochui was feeling incredibly moved, Rong Zi suddenly changed the subject, "However, there are conditions for giving you these fire crystals."
"Conditions?" Gu Xiaochui asked疑惑地问道, "What conditions?"
Rong Zi held up one finger at him and said with a smile, "Successfully break through to the Golden Core stage within a month."
Ling Mo's enemies include the Xu family, one of the seven great cultivation families, and the demon race, which may reappear at any time.
In order to clear Ling Mo's name as soon as possible.
Also, in order to help him avenge himself.
They all need to cultivate as soon as possible to improve their strength.
Gu Xiaochui is about to break through the bottleneck of the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Breaking through to the Golden Core stage within a month is a little difficult, but not entirely impossible.
Thinking of this, Rong Zi added a few more words.
"If you can't do it, I'll punish you by making you listen to your senior brother play a tune. After all, these fire crystals belong to your senior brother, and if you can't make the most of them, it will hurt his feelings."
Pressure can be a motivator.
With Yun Jing's encouragement, she believed that Gu Xiaochui would definitely surpass himself and make rapid progress.
Gu Xiaochui was so moved that she went numb.
Listen to Yun Jing play a tune?
This punishment...does it have to be so harsh?
Yun Jing's face showed a hint of anticipation.
He tilted his head back, his bright eyes looking at Gu Xiaochui, whose face was stiff, and gave him a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, my playing is much more technically advanced than before. I can even precisely control the energy of each note. I know my limits, it definitely won't kill anyone."
Hearing Yun Jing's comforting words, Gu Xiaochui only felt a chill run down his spine.
He quickly put away the fire crystal, turned around, and ran out as fast as he could.
"I'm going to cultivate!"
As long as you don't die from the refining, refine it to the point of death!
In short, he would never listen to Yun Jing's demonic summoning music again, even if it killed him!
Rong Zi watched Gu Xiaochui's determined figure and smiled with satisfaction.
Of the remaining two-thirds of the fire crystals, Rong Zi kept one-third for himself.
As for the last third...
After thinking about it, she kept them all as food for Cai Niu.
To prevent Cai Niu from crying again after waking up...
Since these fire crystals can no longer be sold to solve their sect's livelihood problems, Rong Zi still needs to find another way to make money.
...
For the next few days, Rong Zi kept tinkering with the problem of alchemy.
She tried to improve it several times, but found that the pills she refined still came in all sorts of shapes and had a burnt smell.
Rong Zi was troubled for a long time before finally coming up with a solution.
She hammered and tinkered to create a few hollow, round beads, which she then split in half to use as molds.
Every time she was about to form a pill, she would try to use magic to insert the pill into the mold.
After several such experiments, the pills that Rong Zi refined actually succeeded in turning into round shapes.
She sat cross-legged, her face covered in soot, looking at the round, plump pill in her hand, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter.
"I'm such a little genius!"
Xiao Bai was being exploited by Rong Zi, and reluctantly waved his fan to fan the fire for Rong Zi.
Hearing her words, it said speechlessly, "You need to manually shape a pill to refine it, and you call yourself a genius? How can you even say that?"
Rong Zi glared at it, "Just keep fanning yourself, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
As expected, the magical artifact reflects its master.
This thing has a foul mouth just like its owner!
Little White got angry.
"I am a top-grade spiritual artifact with formidable combat power, and you actually want me to be a fire fan? You are simply... simply unreasonable!"
Rong Zi slowly put away the pills in her hand, and said angrily, "Your master signed the document in black and white. You are now paying off the debt with your body. Even if I asked you to be a fly swatter, you would still do it."
Xiao Bai trembled with anger, "You..."
Seeing that the fire at the bottom of the pot was gradually weakening, Rong Zi interrupted Xiao Bai before it could say anything.
"Don't be lazy, fan the fire properly. If you don't control the heat and ruin my pills, I'll keep track of it."
In the past, when she didn't want to control the fire herself while refining pills, she would let Cai Niu control the fire temperature.
But Cai Niu didn't know what was going on either.
It has been in a deep sleep ever since it ate the fire crystal a few days ago.
I don't know if it's because I ate too much and got too full.
Rong Zi observed that its breathing was stable and everything seemed normal, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
You'll wake up naturally once you've had enough sleep.
Xiao Bai was furious at Rong Zi's antics and went to call Jun Moyao in a pitiful state.
"Owner……"
Jun Moyao, disgusted by Rong Zi's dirty appearance, spread a clean small square towel on the table next to him and lay down on it, half asleep.
Hearing Xiaobai's voice, he sat up lazily, yawning and shrugging.
"Calling me won't do any good. We're living under someone else's roof now. If you don't want to be abused, then don't mess with her."
Xiao Bai felt even more aggrieved.
Waaah...
Even its owner doesn't side with it.
Its owner doesn't love it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi walked over and tapped Jun Moyao's head with her finger, praising him with a smile: "Not bad, you're quite enlightened today."
Jun Moyao almost jumped three feet high when he saw her little black paw.
"You're so dirty! Don't touch me without washing your paws!"
Little White kept fanning the fire, and watching its owner's loud and boisterous behavior, it silently wondered to itself.
Can I touch it after washing my hands?
