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, a lot of spiritual stones have been 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. in mind. There was nothing more than obvious schadenfreude in the laughter.
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 interrupted the shopkeeper and said simply.
The anxiety between the shopkeeper's brows was instantly relieved. The customer was very easy to talk to and it was great that he agreed to compensate us 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 if she regrets it now and wants to default on the debt?
She had to give away all the spiritual stones she got from the Supreme Sect before she could keep them warm, and it wasn't enough! You also have to use some of the items in your storage bag as collateral. After all, it was 130 million spiritual stones, and the shopkeeper saw that she was so happy that she gave him a small change.
Moreover, the exchange rate for the best spiritual stones for her was 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 trade high for low.
But the core of the cornerstone beneath their inn is the top-grade spiritual stone. Now it is sucked completely.
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 Gu Qingxi bought for his senior brothers remained untouched. However, the elixirs and magic weapons sent by the elders and peak masters of the Supreme Sect were compensated a lot. And there was only a little bit of the talisman she made 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 elixir given by the fourth senior brother, and the meeting gifts given by the third senior brother and the younger senior brother. There are still some things left from the things given by the elders and peak masters of the Supreme Sect.
One word can be seen 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 little chicken absorb all the aura of the inn overnight? How could it be possible that it has not hatched for 800 years and is still alive?
"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 his own eggshell, chirped twice, and pulled the remaining half of the eggshell, letting Gu Qingxi push it.
"What is it doing?" Gu Qingxi was confused.
"For spirit 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 bodies. 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 to push the remaining half of the eggshell here.
"Chiji!" The little chicken looked at Gu Qingxi and pushed the eggshell with difficulty.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingxi's face, and she sighed, no matter what, it was hers. Even if they cheated themselves, are there still many children in the world who cheated on their fathers and mothers? Weren’t those cheaters beaten to death by their own parents? What else can she do? I can only keep it.
"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 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 free for three days.
In three days, Gu Qingxi will 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 was already prepared for a long tug of war. This little girl definitely doesn't have the money to compensate, so I hope there is a sect behind her and let the sect pay the compensation.
But most sects would not give compensation so readily. So before the shopkeeper talked to Gu Qingxi, he was always feeling anxious and uneasy.
If Gu Qingxi was a casual cultivator, there would be 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 little chicken who was still eating eggshells. I always feel that feeding this little chicken is 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 the ration for three years! Not a meal!
Can she really afford to raise this little chicken if it's so edible? Gu Qingxi thought depressedly.
