The little girl was furious: "Master, what do you mean! Are you saying Qing Jun is a foodie?"
"Ah... Master didn’t say that."
"It doesn’t matter, that’s what you meant! Qing Jun wouldn’t even look at these ten thousand Spirit Stones! Qing Jun is very rich now!"
"How rich?"
"Hmph!"
The little girl proudly raised her face.
...
"Hiss——"
Hunyuan City, Listening Wind Pavilion.
Looking at the many treasures his disciple brought back, Chen Ye widened his eyes: "So many?!"
Although he knew the Grotto Heaven was full of opportunities, and he told his disciple about True Man Ye’s treasure land, he himself wasn’t aware of how many treasures were there.
And now.
Chen Ye roughly estimated that the value of these treasures was as much as a hundred thousand Spirit Stones!
Zhiwei pursed her lips and smiled, speaking softly:
"Master, Junior Sister wouldn’t lie to Master... If she says she has many Spirit Stones, then she really does have many Spirit Stones."
"Yes, yes!"
The little girl was full of pride and she confidently slapped down two Storage Bags, saying loudly,
"Master, there’s also this! These are the Storage Bag of that Zhong Shan, Zhong Yue!"
"Oh?"
Chen Ye accepted the Storage Bags and looked closely.
The treasures on the Zhong Family brothers were actually far inferior to Yang Qiu, the True Inheritor of Ten Thousand Puppets. After all, Yang Qiu is a Puppet Master; even though most of his cultivation resources go to the puppets, the puppets themselves can also be sold for Spirit Stones.
As for the Zhong Family brothers, they are Body Cultivators, and their resources are mostly used on their physique.
Moreover.
The actual wealth of these Huayue prodigies may not necessarily match the elite disciples of the Yan Kingdom’s sects.
Fortunately, together they had more than forty thousand Spirit Stones, which is a substantial amount.
"Well, uh..."
Chen Ye wanted to joke, he smiled kindly at the three girls,
"Disciples, you’re still young. How about I help you keep them safe? I’ll return them to you when you grow up?"
He thought the little girl would throw a tantrum, but to his surprise, Qing Jun looked at Master puzzledly:
"Master, what are you talking about! If it weren’t for Master, Qing Jun wouldn’t bother treasure hunting! These Spirit Stones were meant for Master all along!"
...Looks like Master misunderstood the little girl.
This little girl is not the worst girl in the world! She’s the most filial and adorable girl in the world!
Qing Jun calculated earnestly, counting with her fingers:
"Qing Jun thought about it, if Master has these Spirit Stones, then he can eat delicious food every day, buy whatever he wants! No more killing for treasure!"
"Cough... cough cough!"
Chen Ye nearly choked on his saliva.
What do you mean by killing for treasure?
That was ages ago, and back then he was forced, others acted first...
Hmph!
Truly an unreasonable little girl.
Chen Ye put on a stern face and temporarily kept the Spirit Stones: "Don’t talk nonsense, otherwise people will misunderstand me... As for these Spirit Stones, I’ll keep them for now, as a future resource for your cultivation. Master doesn’t care about your few trifles, Master is very wealthy!"
"Really..."
The little girl looked at Master suspiciously, remembering that Master was already very poor after crafting Jade Hide and Qingzhi!
Hiss... How dare you doubt Master!
Chen Ye coughed: "Of course it’s true."
After the master and disciples shared a warm moment.
Zhiwei suddenly took out two jade boxes, her tone slightly solemn:
"Master, this is the Dragon Blood Bodhi you mentioned earlier. During this Grotto Heaven journey, disciple fortunately obtained this treasure."
"Oh, Dragon Blood Bodhi... wait, what did you say?!"
Chen Ye was shocked.
Dragon Blood Bodhi?
That Upper Grade Third Tier Spirit Fruit?
He just mentioned it casually, not expecting that the disciple really got it?!
