Sure enough, the shopkeeper and waiter with anxious expressions were already waiting there at the entrance of the courtyard.
"This girl..." the shopkeeper spoke carefully and recounted what happened last night, "What happened in your yard? Not only is the spiritual power in your yard empty, but also the spiritual power in our entire inn is gone. We
Under the inn, there are a lot of spiritual stones piled up as the cornerstones, but now, all the spiritual power of the cornerstones is gone. We have discovered that it started in your yard, and the spiritual power has been absorbed..."
"Hahaha, this little chick sucked it all in one night, it was really amazing. You don't know how much money you have to pay now." The arrogant laughter of Wanling Ancestor rang in Gu Qingxi's ears again.
The schadenfreude in my mind and laughter is all too obvious.
Gu Qingxi looked at the chicken in his hand expressionlessly.
Good guy, what is the origin of this little chicken?
You haven’t eaten for hundreds of years, how can you eat so much at once?
"We're not blaming you, we just want to find out what's going on..." The shopkeeper is a businessman after all. Even if he is anxious in the face of such a situation, he still gives a polite explanation.
"Needless to say, it was my spiritual pet who did it, and something happened. I will compensate you." Gu Qingxi said simply after thinking about what the shopkeeper would say.
The anxiety between the shopkeeper's brows was relieved immediately. The customer was very talkative, and it was great that he agreed to compensate so easily.
Then, Gu Qingxi asked the shopkeeper to come in to discuss compensation.
After finally counting the losses, Gu Qingxi's face turned dark. Is it okay for her to go back on her word now and want to default on the debt?
She had to pay out all the spiritual stones she got from the Supreme Sect before she could keep them warm, and it wasn't enough! She had to use some of the things in her storage bag as collateral. After all, it was 130 million spiritual stones.
, and the shopkeeper saw her and gave her a little change.
Moreover, the exchange rate for the best spiritual stones for her is not one to one hundred, but one to one hundred and two. The shopkeeper also knows that the best spiritual stones are rare, and almost no one outside is willing to exchange high for low.
But the core of the cornerstone beneath their inn contains top-quality spiritual stones. Now it has been completely absorbed.
The top-quality spiritual stones that Gu Qingxi received as compensation could just make up for it.
Gu Qingxi almost vomited blood.
What does it mean to go back to before liberation overnight? This is it.
Gu Qingxi has experienced the feeling of getting rich overnight and becoming poor overnight.
Of course, the gifts that Gu Qingxi bought for her senior brothers were not touched. However, the elixirs and magic weapons given by the elders and peak masters of the Supreme Sect were compensated a lot. And only a little of the talismans she made were left.
When the shopkeeper accepted the talisman, he praised the talisman as being well made and exceeding the market price given to her.
Gu Qingxi said that she didn't really want such praise.
She now only has a few thousand spirit stones left, the elixirs given by her fourth senior brother, the meeting gifts given by her third senior brother and her younger brother. There are still some things left from the gifts given by the elders and peak masters of the Supreme Sect.
One word can be heard all over his body, poor.
After the shopkeeper left with a smile on his face, Gu Qingxi looked at the chicken in his hand and felt like squeezing it.
"What kind of spiritual beast is this?" Of course Gu Qingxi would not think that the little guy in his hand was really a chicken.
How could a real chicken absorb all the aura of the inn in one night? How could it be possible that it hadn’t hatched for 800 years and still not die?
"I don't know, but it's definitely not ordinary. I can't tell what kind of divine bird he will be when he grows up." Ancestor Wanling guessed.
"I don't care if it is a magical bird in the future, but now it is just a little chicken that makes me poor." Gu Qingxi hugged the little chicken in her hand and sat back on the bed.
The little chicken jumped out of her hand, then ran to its own eggshell, chirped twice, and pulled the remaining half of the eggshell, asking Gu Qingxi to push it.
"What is it doing?" Gu Qingxi was confused.
"For spiritual beasts, it is instinctive to eat the shell after hatching. And the shell is also of great significance to them. The essence contained in the eggshell is very good for their body. It is giving you half of the eggshell.
Eat." Ancestor Wanling explained.
Gu Qingxi's heart, which had been depressed just now, softened as she watched the little chicken try hard to push the remaining half of the eggshell here.
"Chichi!" The little chicken looked at Gu Qingxi and pushed the eggshell with difficulty.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingxi's face, and she sighed. After all, it was hers. Even if she was cheated on herself, were there still so many children in the world who cheated on their fathers and mothers? Aren't those cheaters beaten to death by their own parents? Then
What else can she do? She can only keep her.
"You eat. I won't eat this. Be good, you eat." Gu Qingxi pushed the eggshell towards the chick and said gently.
The little chicken tilted its little head and looked at Gu Qingxi. It wasn't until Gu Qingxi urged it again that it chirped twice and began to happily eat the remaining eggshells.
Because the shopkeeper successfully received the compensation, he was happy and allowed Gu Qingxi to stay in the courtyard for three days for free.
In three days, Gu Qingxi will have to pay or move out.
The reason why the shopkeeper was so generous was because he had no idea that this seemingly ordinary little girl could be so rich and actually be able to compensate.
Originally, the shopkeeper had been prepared for a long tug-of-war. This little girl definitely didn't have the money to compensate, so I hoped that there was a sect behind her and let the sect pay the compensation.
But most sects would not give compensation so readily. Therefore, before the shopkeeper talked to Gu Qingxi, he was always feeling anxious and uneasy.
If Gu Qingxi is a casual cultivator, then there is nothing to say. Even if Gu Qingxi is detained and asked to work for the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce to pay off her debts, how long will it take for a mere casual cultivator to pay off her debts?
As a result, I never expected that, hehe, I met an invisible rich man.
The shopkeeper left happily, but Gu Qingxi had a big head.
"Looks like we have to make money soon." Gu Qingxi sighed and glanced at the chick who was still eating eggshells. She always felt that feeding this chick was not an easy task.
By the way, didn't Master Yu give her a storage bag back then, saying it was for the unhatched spirit beasts?
Gu Qingxi dug out the storage bag and poured out the contents. Sure enough, it was a pile of spiritual stones.
Before Gu Qingxi could be happy, the little chicken who had finished eating the eggshells saw a pile of spiritual stones on the bed. He chirped happily, threw himself on the pile of spiritual stones, and took a deep breath.
Then Gu Qingxi saw that all the spiritual energy of the pile of spiritual stones had been absorbed by the little chicken.
The little chicken burped and sat on the pile of stones contentedly.
Gu Qingxi: "…………"
Although this pile of spiritual stones was originally the ration for the little chicken, it is a ration for three years! It is not a meal!
Can she really afford to raise this little chicken that is so edible? Gu Qingxi thought depressedly.
