769: The treasures of the world belong to those who are virtuous, and those without virtue lose them.
“Good.”
“Then it’s settled happily.”
Gu Qing sealed the deal with a punch, then handed her a hundred chaotic source crystals.
“This is a master-apprentice gift from my Master and me. Work hard, and becoming a Master God will be within reach.”
“chaotic source crystals?!”
Bai Zhilan exclaimed, her beautiful eyes fixed on the chaotic source crystals, her little heart pounding.
She looked at Starry Sacred Mother, and seeing her nod, Bai Zhilan excitedly accepted them.
She was inwardly confused. Since it was a master-apprentice gift, why wasn’t Starry Sacred Mother giving it to her?
Could they really be mother and son, and all treasures were on Gu Qing?
“Xiao Hong, this is yours. From now on, my three meals a day…”
Gu Qing threw three to Xiao Hong. Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Hong patted her chest and promised.
“Xiao Hong will handle everything.”
Her face was flushed with excitement.
The frustration of missing out on the innate treasure was swept away, and she became even more determined to serve her godfather well.
From now on, her godfather would be her Xiao Hong’s heaven.
“Alright! Go!”
Gu Qing waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Xiao Hong nodded repeatedly, her steps light as she swiftly ran back to Shishen Restaurant and rushed into the kitchen.
“Shuang Shuang, we’re rich.”
She excitedly hugged Ye Wushuang.
“You crazy Hong Hong, are you trying to kill me? Let go quickly, can’t you see I’m stir-frying?”
“Stop frying, come with me quickly.”
Xiao Hong directly pulled and dragged her back to the room.
“Look what this is.”
“chaotic source crystals? How do you have chaotic source crystals?”
Ye Wushuang’s pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in shock.
One must know that, in a sense, chaotic source crystals were even more important than innate treasures.
Because chaotic source crystals not only helped people comprehend the Chaotic Great Dao but also improved cultivation and enhanced physical talent.
Moreover, chaotic source crystals could be refined into Dao artifacts.
chaotic source crystals were chaotic treasures that surpassed twelfth-tier mother gold.
A single chaotic source crystal could completely forge a seventh-tier Dao artifact, and with the addition of mother gold, it could even be refined into a Dao artifact of tenth-tier or higher.
“Naturally, it was a reward from Young Master!”
“My goodness, Xiao Hong, just who exactly is your Young Master? He can even bestow chaotic source crystals.”
Ye Wushuang took a deep breath, finally realizing that the person Xiao Hong knew was not a Celestial at all, but possibly an extremely ancient Chaos Demon God.
“Hehe! Can’t say, can’t say.”
“Understood, understood!”
“But Xiao Hong, are you really going to give me chaotic source crystals?”
“Yes, for you. We already agreed on seventy-thirty, and you’re my good Shuang Shuang. From now on, Young Master’s food and drinks will all depend on you.”
Xiao Hong deeply understood the principle of sharing. The reason she could thrive in Wanxing City, succeed in business, and get high commissions from various business associations was all thanks to the help of her sisters.
In return, she would not let them help for free.
Among all her sisters and friends, Ye Wushuang was the most trustworthy, so she wasn’t worried at all about being killed for her treasures if she exposed the chaotic source crystals.
“Hong Hong…” Ye Wushuang was moved to tears.
“Go cook quickly, Young Master will be here soon.”
“Okay, okay, okay! I’ll definitely use my best skills.”
…Meanwhile, Bai Zhilan wasn't idle either.
As soon as she left the courtyard, she released her aura.
Sure enough, Chen Mo immediately arrived, feigning nonchalance, riding the wind.
“What a coincidence, I was just about to go to Wanxing City to buy treasures when I ran into Senior Sister.”
“Hmm!”
Bai Zhilan responded indifferently, her demeanor cold and refined, like a fairy who didn’t partake in worldly affairs.
“Senior Sister, as the saying goes, meeting is fate. Why don’t we travel together?”
Seeing that Bai Zhilan had no intention of inviting him to travel together, Chen Mo had no choice but to extend the invitation himself.
“No, I have important matters to attend to.”
Bai Zhilan was speechless. Ever since she realized Chen Mo’s true colors, she had never seen anyone more pretentious than him.
He clearly went to great lengths to find her, yet when he saw her, he could still act so calmly.
Was he fantasizing that she would proactively provide information and then offer him opportunities?
How had she never noticed Chen Mo’s hypocrisy before?
“Wait, Senior Sister.”
Chen Mo quickly stopped her.
Bai Zhilan was crucial to him, concerning whether he could become a Master God. How could he let Bai Zhilan leave?
“If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Bai Zhilan looked impatient.
Seeing this, Chen Mo thought Bai Zhilan was still blaming him for the matter of the flame seed, and immediately said with a bitter smile: “Senior Sister really misunderstood me. Even if I wanted the flame seed, I wouldn’t forcibly take it.”
“So, you’re giving up on the flame seed?”
“Of course not.”
“Heaven and earth treasures belong to the virtuous.”
“I will compete fairly with Senior Brother Gu.”
Chen Mo said solemnly.
Bai Zhilan: “…”
After all that, wasn’t he still going to try and seize it?
Looking at the confident Chen Mo, Bai Zhilan sneered inwardly.
Gu Qing was not comparable to those so-called heavenly talents and evildoers.
Chen Mo actually deluded himself into thinking he could snatch the flame seed from Gu Qing by force. He probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Thinking this, Bai Zhilan said indifferently: “Since that’s the case, then you can go find him.”
“I also want to find him, but the world is vast, and there are no traces. Where can I find him?”
“Does Senior Sister know where he is?”
Chen Mo was certain that Gu Qing and Starry Sacred Mother were still in Wanxing City, but they had concealed their auras, making him unable to find them at all.
“I do!”
Bai Zhilan nodded.
“Oh!”
Chen Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart and said “Oh,” habitually waiting for her to continue.
As long as he wanted to know something, others would naturally tell him.
However, this time he was destined to be disappointed.
Both of them looked at each other with calm expressions, neither speaking.
Chen Mo: “…Please tell me, Senior Sister.”
“Give me an innate treasure, and I’ll take you to see Master and Senior Brother.”
“What?”
Chen Mo’s pupils constricted, suspecting he had misheard. Otherwise, how could he hear such an outrageous thing as having to pay an innate treasure just to be led the way?
“Give me an innate treasure, and I’ll take you to see Master and Senior Brother.” Bai Zhilan repeated expressionlessly.
“Hiss~”
Chen Mo forced a smile: “Senior Sister must be joking with me, right?”
“What do you think?” Bai Zhilan retorted.
Chen Mo’s expression stiffened, and his heart gradually grew cold.
At this point, he had to accept the fact that Bai Zhilan had changed.
Bai Zhilan was no longer the Bai Zhilan he had known.
“Don’t think my request is excessive. Before I became Master’s disciple, I also had to use an innate treasure to request an audience with Master.”
Before Chen Mo could speak, Bai Zhilan said calmly: “If you’re unwilling, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. Farewell.”
Chen Mo naturally knew that to meet a powerful individual, one had to pay a huge price.
But she was meeting her own Master and Senior Brother!
He had never heard of having to pay a huge price to meet one's own Master and Senior Brother.
Chen Mo was filled with anger, and all sorts of complaints spilled out. However, Bai Zhilan consistently maintained the same stance: the transaction was voluntary.
“Alright!”
Seeing that Bai Zhilan was unyielding, Chen Mo had no choice but to reluctantly take out an innate treasure.
He secretly vowed that once he met Gu Qing, he would definitely earn it back with interest from him.
“Are you that confident?”
“Aren’t you afraid of losing both the wife and the army in the end?”
After putting away the innate treasure, Bai Zhilan sneered.
“Senior Sister, just lead the way.” Chen Mo said indifferently.
As long as he saw the person, he would have a way to obtain the flame seed and the method to melt it.
After dealing with Gu Qing, he would then scheme for the opportunities on Bai Zhilan.
As for scheming for the opportunities on Bai Zhilan, would Chen Mo feel guilty?
Not to mention that he and Bai Zhilan were already enemies; even if they weren't, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
Heaven and earth treasures belonged to those with affinity, and were lost by those without virtue.
The opportunity was on Bai Zhilan, yet she hadn’t discovered it, which meant this opportunity was not fated for Bai Zhilan. If he obtained it, then it was his.
