Chapter 21: Wealthy Fool

Chapter 21: Wealthy Fool

Even though Kumu Zhen Jun was a True Lord, his heart was churning at this moment.

He looked at Qi Yuan, wanting to say something.

However, Qi Yuan directly left.

Kumu Zhen Jun sat down, his hand caressing the purple sandalwood chair, wisps of red dust incense rising. He didn't know what he was thinking about.

Outside Shen Guang Sect, Qi Yuan was once again strolling with his knife.

"A first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item... Yellow Flower Fruit." Qi Yuan was actually tempted.

The price of Foundation Establishment spiritual items was steep.

"However, to get the reward at the Foundation Establishment Conference, you need to defeat disciples from other sects... too troublesome."

Just thinking about competing made Qi Yuan feel bored; he'd rather grind in games, where his power genuinely increased.

Only, when he went to a shop and asked about the price of a first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item, his eyes lit up.

"What, worth ten thousand spirit stones? And it's priceless?"

"A wealthy clan once offered fifty thousand spirit stones and didn't get one? Couldn't even buy a second-grade one?"

Qi Yuan was somewhat tempted.

As the head disciple of Seven Colors Peak, he could only get ten spirit stones worth of resources every month.

However, after offending his master, his spirit stone supply was cut off.

He lived frugally every day.

Recently, his thatched hut was leaking in the rain, and he was reluctant to spend spirit stones to hire someone for repairs, so he climbed onto the roof and fixed it himself.

What kind of cultivation life was this?

Moreover, once Qi Yuan reached Foundation Establishment, the amount of spirit stones he would need would be vast.

Polishing his mana during the Foundation Establishment stage was extremely costly in terms of spirit stones.

Hence, the Foundation Establishment disciples of Shen Guang Sect often went out to take on tasks to earn spirit stones.

"Maybe I should give it a try?"

"Forget it, too troublesome."

"If some bad guy wins it, then I could take the moral high ground and snatch it."

Qi Yuan was daydreaming, but it was just daydreaming.

Such a high-grade Foundation Establishment item would definitely be guarded by powerful people. With his current weak strength, how could he possibly snatch it?

Wandering around aimlessly all day, Qi Yuan felt like he was missing a ghost fire and a teenage girl telling her father, "Dad, you just don't understand him."

When he returned to Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan smelled a rich aroma.

"Spiritual carp fish, fragrant mushrooms, North treasure melon..."

Qi Yuan's nose was very keen.

These aromas made his mouth water.

"Junior sister, this pot of yours... must have cost a lot, right?" Qi Yuan remembered that in the half year since he arrived in this world, he had only eaten a spiritual dish once, and it was worth less than one spirit stone.

Xiao Xiang Sword Rain!

Armored Champion's Strong Fist!

Qi Yuan began his slaughter again.

The Yi Guan monsters were killed one by one.

Other Yi Guan monsters woke up in the trees.

They had no faces, no eyes, no ears, not even mouths.

But Qi Yuan could feel their anger.

If they were given mouths, Qi Yuan was sure he would hear a series of beautiful curses.

"Your ******"

Of course, these Yi Guan monsters couldn't talk, couldn't curse Qi Yuan, they could only attack Qi Yuan, venting their anger.

Unfortunately, they all became Qi Yuan's experience babies.

Qi Yuan weaved in and out, comparable to Zhao Yun and Wen Yang.

After a few hours, seeing the Yi Guan monsters regroup, Qi Yuan left without a trace.

Afterwards, Qi Yuan dug a pit and buried himself.

He was reflecting.

"The Yi Guan monsters are regrouping faster."

"It seems they are also growing."

"But I am also growing, another level up, but it will get slower from now on."

After summarizing, Qi Yuan opened the chat interface.

As usual, he replied to a series of messages from Jin Li.

Jin Li's messages were fragmented, mentioning things like floods in a region from the memorials, which made her worried; or that her horse suddenly went crazy today, and she almost got hurt.

Qi Yuan slowly replied, then shared his daily routine in the game with Jin Li.

In a short while, he sent a series of messages.

"Getting late, time to log off."

Qi Yuan felt he had spent enough time in the game.

At this moment, to his surprise, Jin Li sent a message.

"Still up so late?" Qi Yuan wanted to look up at the moon, but couldn't see it from the pit.

"Had a lot to do today." Jin Li said, feeling a sense of peace in her tired heart.

"Today I met Aunt Qin. With the imperial medicine picked from Xuan Yuan Forbidden Land, her injuries have healed significantly."

Jin Li slowly recounted the day's events.

She didn't like spreading negative energy, so she tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Your mission difficulty is quite high." Qi Yuan thought that if he were in Jin Li's position, he might not do as well as her.

After all, court politics were all about human relationships, and he only knew how to fight and kill.
