Chapter 130: Chapter 94: Getting Rich and Rising Above Moderate Prosperity_2

The day was more than half gone, and if not for the trouble caused by Cultivator Liu Manzi, today could have been perfectly concluded.

Ning Xiaoxian returned to her rented courtyard, happily singing, took a bath, changed into a set of clean and fresh clothes, and then dashed into the God Demon Prison. Of course, per Changtian’s reminder, she didn’t forget to bring the counterfeit small pill furnace along.

She held the Spirit Stones, grinning in front of Changtian with eyes almost turning into hearts. Naturally, this was not because he was too handsome; it was the beautiful glow from these thousands of Spirit Stones gathered together. Though each was only the size of a thumb’s nail, the sight of over two thousand clattering together still felt quite impressive!

Spirit Stones are actually pale green crystals that contain Spiritual Power, usable by humans, demons, and Immortals for cultivation. The better the quality of the Spirit Stones, the more refined the Spiritual Power they contain, and the less effort it takes to extract it. Legend has it that after Pangu created Heaven and Earth, his spine fell to the ground and formed enormous spirit stone veins.

In Ancient Times, Spirit Stones were coveted by both Immortals and demons. Nowadays, any noteworthy Immortal Sect must control at least one or two spirit stone veins to supply their disciples for cultivation. Because of their importance, Spirit Stones have become the universal currency in the cultivation world, just like Silver Taels are in the Mortal World.

The collection of over two thousand Spirit Stones giving off a pale-green glow was indeed enchanting; such is the allure of "wealth" that it even made her eyes turn green. Changtian watched as this little money-lover joyfully fiddled around, seemingly unable to let go, and then—

She sighed, pushing all the Spirit Stones toward him.

"What are you doing?" He understood her intention, but still couldn’t help asking. This behavior didn’t seem like the girl who’d usually cling to money as if her life depended on it.

"For you." She looked sorrowfully at the pile of Spirit Stones as if they were already far away from her, "After all, it’s you who earned them. Besides, you’re as pale as a zombie; you must be running out of Divine Power. Take these Spirit Stones and quickly replenish yourself."

After hearing Changtian explain the use of Spirit Stones, her first reaction was—these things can replenish Spiritual Power, they’re like an Otherworld version of a power charger! Changtian is currently so weak, he really needs such pure, substantial nourishment.

Her expression was painfully like that of someone feeding meat to a hawk, which was quite humorous. Changtian felt an itch in his fingertips, really wanting to touch her cheeks, but worried that it might frighten her. Since yesterday, she had been consciously avoiding him, even though he knew it.

This girl, whose nature was to treasure wealth as if her life depended on it, was actually willing to give up the Spirit Stones, and that touched him deeply once more.

"No need, take them back. These few Spirit Stones are merely a drop in the bucket for me, hardly useful. As for Divine Power, I just need to use it sparingly." He deliberately spoke in an indifferent tone, and casually pointed to the fake alchemy furnace on the ground, "Especially since I have this now, alchemy will be much easier. You don’t have to worry about me."

He actually said that the pile of Spirit Stones she wanted to gift him were "hardly useful"! Ning Xiaoxian was so furious, feeling like he was biting the hand that feeds him. But then, her attention was drawn once more by his words.

"Let’s settle the old scores! Why didn’t you remind me today that this furnace was a fake?" she asked heatedly. "Our money, almost cheated away by that Liu Manzi!" Scamming money from her was a deep-seated grudge against him!

Having just bathed, her hair tips were still dripping, and her Qi-Blood circulation was particularly vigorous. As she got angry, a flush of red rose on her cheeks against her snow-white skin, making her especially charming, like a big wet apple, tempting him to take a bite.

If he actually did take a bite, she might never dare enter the God Demon Prison again. Changtian lowered his eyelids, not wanting her to see the golden flames sparking in his eyes. Lately, his emotions became somewhat uncontrollable whenever he faced her. Could it be that she had unwittingly become his Heart Demon?

Seeing his expression, she interpreted it as a sign of guilt. She felt a bit angry but also a bit heartbroken, worried that her words might have been too harsh.

"I didn’t say anything because—" he paused, then a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, "this furnace is indeed not a fake."

"What, what?!" She couldn’t help but exclaim, "The furnace is real, then Liu Manzi... "

Liu Manzi and another cultivator risked being discovered by the mutual market guards to sneak in, painstakingly performed a dual role act in front of her, and after being exposed, even resorted to using force and threats, only to have Tan Tai Sword Immortal cut off three of his fingers using some Divine Skill. All this just to sell her a real alchemy furnace for six hundred Spirit Stones?

F*cking hell, what a high price! Is this world crazy, or is she being dumb?

She had always thought that although cultivators were somewhat aloof, their minds were still sane. Who knew that there were freaks like Liu Manzi in the world, whose brains must have been squashed by a door and then kicked by a donkey!

Oh dear, she caused someone to lose three fingers! Just thinking about it made her scarce conscience and guilt start overflowing.

Seeing her expression, Changtian knew this girl got it wrong. However, he gleefully appreciated her misunderstanding a bit more. Her eyes were already not small, and now they were even rounder and irresistibly cute.

He wanted to pinch her cheek again, and he clenched his fist quietly.(To be continued. If you like this novel, please visit qidian.com to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
