She wasn't doing charity work; she naturally had to collect payment.
When Sheng Yanzhou saw the message, he couldn't help but smile.
【Of course, what's your bank account number?】
Ruan Fuxi was a bit surprised.
【Aren't you going to ask how much I charge?】
After thinking for a moment, she added,
【Forget it, I won't take money. Instead, I'll accept high-quality jade or rare materials, as long as the total is equivalent to a piece.】
She could earn money later; what mattered most now was to restore the spiritual energy that had been lost from her ancestral lineage. Otherwise, it wouldn't end well.
In this world where spiritual energy was scarce, the fastest way to obtain it was through jade. As for rare materials, she had her own sources.
Sheng Yanzhou didn't ask further and agreed. The Cheng family was wealthy and well-connected; such a request was certainly within their means. He relayed the message to Cheng Qiting, as these items were already his responsibility to prepare.
Sheng Yanzhou thought about how the takeaway he ordered that evening would yield such great returns. Regardless of the relationship between the other party and the wild boar, he was certain she was a master with considerable skills. Moreover, this group of friends wasn't just there to swindle money; they were definitely not gold diggers.
As for the true purpose of their group, Sheng Yanzhou couldn't guess at the moment. Could it be that they were like him, practitioners of metaphysics who needed help with emotional matters? Or perhaps they found cultivation boring and wanted some entertainment?
He couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to dwell on it. He wasn't surprised by the existence of metaphysical practitioners; people of his status often interacted with them to some extent. However, among those he knew, there were probably very few who could match the prowess of this wild boar friend.
At that moment, Ruan Fuxi returned to the farmhouse with the turtle. Along the way, she comforted this ancient ancestor while also gathering information about the state of this world. According to the turtle, spiritual energy had dwindled thousands of years ago in this world; legendary beasts were something he had never even seen, existing only in tales from the past.
He was fortunate to have awakened his spiritual intelligence, which allowed him to cultivate, yet he had never moved from the cold pond on this mountain. Gradually, he became a spiritual being of the mountain, and even the pigs he raised were more delicious and intelligent than those from other places.
However, the spiritual energy here was scarce, so his cultivation progressed painfully slowly. After a thousand years, he had only accumulated a meager amount. Just now, he had lost a significant portion of that to the person before him.
Thinking of this, his face filled with resentment, and his small green bean-like eyes seemed ready to cry. Why had he been taken away from the comfort of his cold pond? Yet, recalling the promise made by the other party, he felt a glimmer of hope for the future.
Ruan Fuxi couldn't help but chuckle and patiently comforted him. "Once I obtain the jade stone, I'll return your spiritual energy. Don't be sad. You've reached a bottleneck; even if you stay here, you won't make further progress. It's better to come with me."
After all, she had spent ten years in the Beast Garden of the Nine Heavens Sect. Besides raising pigs, she was also quite adept at nurturing spirit beasts.
Gui Gui understood that what she said made sense and let out a deep sigh without saying anything more. She was the first person who could communicate with their beast clan; if he didn't trust her words, who else could he trust?
Having achieved her goal of staying on the mountain, Ruan Fuxi happily lay down on the bed. She then checked her master's qualifications, and her eyes sparkled with surprise.
