"I'm rich!
"I'm rich!
When Chen Qing took off his mask, 30 mid-grade spirit stones appeared in front of him. He held them in his arms excitedly.
How many spirit stones was this?
He had a total of 30 medium-grade Spiritual Stones in his hand!
In other words, it was 3,000 low-grade spirit stones!
It would normally take him almost two years of work to save up!
Looking at them, they were as plump as jade. Each of them was larger than a low-grade spirit stone, and was the size of a grape!
He had become rich overnight!
Tomorrow, he would go to town and buy the materials needed for his grass darling to turn into a butterfly!
Chen Qing lay on the bed, looking at the Grass Spirit Gu crawling in front of his chest. "Grass Darling, Grass Darling, follow me, and you will enjoy great fortune!"
Grass Spirit Gu lost its grip, and fell from his chest onto the bed.
The next day, Chen Qing did not go to collect work. He planned to let the grass darling rest for a day and wait for its advancement.
He had to keep the grass darling in its best condition!
At night, Chen Qing changed into his special Carefree Mountain disciple uniform, and followed a patrolling team of Carefree Mountain disciples to the market at the foot of the mountain.
After entering the market, Chen Qing found a toilet and took off his clothes. He put on a black shirt and a black cloak before preparing to buy earth origin spirit liquid and soul-snatching flowers.
He would not reveal his wealth.
Moreover, it was hard to explain where his money came from.
He could not let others know.
In the night, it was hard to see Chen Qing's appearance, as he was wearing a black cloak. He did not go to the stall to look for items, because he'd leave too many traces that could easily expose him, so he simply went straight to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Now that he was a rich man, he didn't care about spirit stones.
Moreover, the advancement of the grass darling was a huge matter. He had to do it seriously.
He would be more at ease if he went to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Arriving at the entrance of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Chen Qing was about to enter when an old cultivator in black waved at him. "Do you want to buy materials?
"I've got something cheap here!"
As the old cultivator spoke, he pointed to a dark alley in the distance.
Chen Qing shook his head. "No."
Perhaps he was trying to kill Chen Qing for money?
Even if it wasn't the case, what if there was something wrong with the man's ingredients, and something happened to Chen Qing's grass darling? That would ruin everything!
Seeing that Chen Qing was not going, the old cultivator continued to shout softly, "We have only good things here. You won't lose out if you go!"
Seeing that the old cultivator was pestering him, Chen Qing said, "If you call me again, I'll call for help!"
Only then did the old cultivator give up and walk towards an alley behind him.
Chen Qing cursed silently as he strode into the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. The man did not look like a good person.
The shop assistant guarding the counter had originally been dozing off, but when he saw Chen Qing's outfit, he immediately understood that it was time to work.
Usually, people who dressed like this did not want others to know their identities.
This meant a big deal!
The clerk immediately perked up. "Sir, what would you like to order?"
Chen Qing directly asked, "Do you have soul-snatching flowers and earth origin spirit liquid?"
The shop assistant smiled, and said, "What a coincidence, we always have earth origin spirit liquid here, and the soul-snatching flowers have also arrived recently."
Chen Qing said, "Show me the soul-snatching flowers."
The shop assistant quickly brought three soul-snatching flowers from the storeroom at the back. The petals of the flower in the middle were very thick, and looked fleshy.
"How much is this one?"
The shop assistant smiled, and said, "Sir, you have good taste. You took a fancy to the best flower at a glance.
"This one is 1,200 spirit stones."
Surprised, Chen Qing said, "It's that expensive?"
The shop assistant pointed at a soul-snatching flower beside him. "This one is cheaper. It only costs 900 spirit stones."
Chen Qing hesitated again and again. He was also a rich man now. He could not be too frugal. It would be bad if something happened.
"Take these 1,200 spirit stones and add seven drops of earth origin spirit liquid for me."
The shop assistant immediately beamed with joy. "Alright, I'll pack it for you now. It's a total of 1,760 spirit stones!"
Chen Qing took out 18 medium-grade spirit stones. "Do you have change?"
The shop assistant smiled, and said, "Don't worry, we do."
Carrying the things he had bought, Chen Qing quickly walked out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and walked around the street before entering an empty latrine. He changed his clothes, again putting on the disciple uniform of Carefree Mountain, and stuffed the things into his arms before preparing to return.
On the way, Chen Qing walked faster than usual, afraid that someone would suddenly jump out and rob him.
When he returned to his cave abode, he heaved three sighs of relief and patted his chest.
'This is too nerve-wracking!'
He sat by the bed and rested for a while before releasing the grass darling. When he saw it jumping around on the table, he was overjoyed.
"Very good, very energetic!
"Now, I'll slowly feed you the advancement materials."
He took out the soul-snatching flower and placed it on the table. He instructed the grass darling, who had been hungry all day, to go up and eat it.
After eating a third of it, the grass darling no longer could continue eating. Chen Qing told it to stop eating.
For the past few days, although Chen Qing continued to take on jobs, he would only take on one or two acres of land every day. He guaranteed that the grass darling would not be tired.
After work, he discussed music with Wang Ye.
The news of the grass darling's advancement could not be hidden. Moreover, it was necessary to eat. It was not appropriate to hide it.
In order not to reveal his secret, he could only trouble Brother Wang.
There had to be a reason for his Grass Spirit Gu to advance.
When he reported to the sect, he would say that it advanced naturally. If the sect wanted to find the reason, they would naturally have to look for it in Wang Ye's field.
After feeding it for five consecutive days, all the advancement materials had been digested. Chen Qing looked at the grass darling lying lazily on the table in anticipation.
So green, so chubby.
As the last bit of earth origin spirit liquid was digested, Chen Qing suddenly felt that the grass darling's spirituality was increasing rapidly. It started to spit out threads around it.
Rings of green threads flew out of the grass darling's mouth and surrounded it, gradually turning into a green cocoon.
After the cocoon was formed, a ring of whiskers slowly appeared, as if it was some defensive mechanism.
'According to the book, after the cocooning is completed, you can retract it into your body and find a place with a high concentration of spiritual qi.
'The book says that dense spirit stones will do.
'But there's no hurry now. We can wait for a while. There are more important things to do now!'
Chen Qing walked out of his cave abode, and looked at the thick night sky outside. He began to shout, "Not good!"
After calling out a few times, he pretended to be anxious and rushed towards the residence of the spirit plant elder.
Arriving outside the spirit plant elder's house, he knocked hard on the door. "Is the elder here?
"Hello, is the elder here?"
After a while, a boy came to open the door. "So it's Senior Brother Chen Qing. What's the matter?"
Chen Qing said anxiously, "Something happened to my Gu insect, quickly request the spirit plant elder to come out!"
When the boy heard this, he became anxious. Chen Qing treated him well, and often brought him snacks.
"I'll report it now!"
After a while, the spirit plant elder hurried over. "Chen Qing, what's going on?
"What happened to your Gu insect?"
