The sound of the wind gradually ceased.
The once brilliant jade stone slowly lost its luster, its spiritual energy absorbed by the turtle, rendering it indistinguishable from an ordinary rock, until it finally shattered into pieces.
A jade worth tens of thousands simply dissipated into the wind.
Ruan Fuxi also stopped her movements and then picked up the turtle from the cold pond, smiling as she said, "Now the spiritual energy is returned to you, so please don’t sulk at me anymore."
After receiving the nourishment of spiritual energy, the turtle appeared somewhat lazy, rubbing against Ruan Fuxi's hand.
At this moment, its shell looked even more lustrous than before; under the sunlight, it faintly radiated a glow reminiscent of jade.
Then Ruan Fuxi let the turtle rest on her shoulder and picked up the bronze cauldron that Qiting had sent over.
After examining it closely, she discovered that this item was indeed a fine piece of equipment. With some proper care, it could be used for alchemy to refine pills.
This would save her quite a bit of trouble.
However, it seemed that her family truly didn’t send any money at all. Just because she said she didn’t want any money didn’t mean they had to be so honest about it!
Now Ruan Fuxi felt a wave of regret; had she known her brother wouldn’t help her unlock her card, she wouldn’t have been so adamant in her refusal.
At least they could have added a few tens of thousands more!
Sigh, what a miscalculation.
Meanwhile, Qiting was on the phone with Sheng Yanzhou.
"Yanzhou, I believe this master must be one of those reclusive experts living deep in the mountains. No wonder she doesn’t want money; she only desires precious materials like jade. She must be someone who is very indifferent to fame and wealth. It’s a good thing I didn’t listen to your advice and add cash as a gift; otherwise, I would feel like I was insulting the master with money."
Sheng Yanzhou’s lips twitched slightly as he thought to himself that the "expert" in Qiting's eyes had feasted on roasted suckling pig, small green dragon, king crab, and cake just last night—what kind of expert could eat so much?
Qiting’s voice continued on the line: "It’s a pity I couldn’t see what the master looked like; I originally wanted to take this opportunity to check for you."
Sheng Yanzhou replied, "What do you mean by 'check for me'?"
Qiting chuckled softly, "Isn't the Master in a virtual romance with you? Of course, I'm here to keep an eye on things for you."
Sheng Yanzhou felt a twitch in his temples at this remark. "I need to correct you; we are not in a virtual romance, just online friends."
Qiting rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "If you're just friends, why are you sending him takeout?" He then laughed and added, "Alright, alright, not right now, but it’s only a matter of time."
However, Qiting couldn't help but think that if the Master turned out to be much older and not very good-looking, it would be unfair to his brother. He decided to retract his earlier comment until he knew what the other person looked like. Still, it was important to build a good relationship; after all, knowing someone as capable as that Master could be life-saving in critical moments.
Having faced life-and-death situations before, Qiting valued his life even more now. He resolved that no matter what he said later, he had to add the Master as a friend.
Meanwhile, the person they were discussing—Ruan Fuxi—was contemplating how to bring the bronze cauldron and wild ginseng down the mountain. As she pondered, an idea struck her.
Ruan Fuxi tapped the turtle resting on her shoulder. "Turtle, can you store these items for me?"
She recalled that some spirit beasts in the cultivation world had the ability to store items as part of their innate skills. The turtle nodded its little head in response, and in the next moment, the bronze cauldron and two wild ginseng plants vanished from sight.
Ruan Fuxi patted its head in praise:
