Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Debt Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Debt On the next floor, Su Jiyai was again given a task.
This time, she was tasked to fight against a stone statue.
With her fire superpower, Su Jiyai easily defeated the stone statue.
A bag was suddenly teleported in front of Su Jiyai.
This is that treasure!] Su Jiyai instantly put away the bag in her storage ring and was about to leave when suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, “System…can I possibly multiply this cultivation pagoda?” Silence.
The system was silent hearing Su Jiyai’s bizarre comment.
Before it could give a response, Su Jiyai continued, “As long as this treasure pagoda can be multiplied, the gifts inside it should also multiply, right?” [Host due to size restriction, multiplying can’t be done.] Su Jiyai sighed.
Honestly, she was excited by the idea, but now..she felt as if she was overthinking.
Her system was a defective piece, how can it have such amazing power?
Without a word, Su Jiyai left the pagoda.
On reaching outside, the elder instantly rushed to Su Jiyai’s side and scooped her up.
“Spirit Beast, are you alright?
Are you hurt anywhere?” Su Jiyai shook her head.
She looked around and didn’t find Jake and Xi Ping.
She had already decided to leave the immortal world as soon as Jake and Xi Ping arrived.
“System, can you multiple items now?” Su Jiyai asked thinking about something.
I can.] “Can you multiply Heaven Root herb?” [No host.] ‘I knew it.’ Su Jiyai sighed.
“Multiply the mystic pearl.” Su Jiyai ordered.
[Okay host.] [Multiplying the mystic pearl….Multiplication successful.] [Ding!
Mystic Pearl Detected!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Mystic Pearl X ∞!
The Host can start buying Mystic Pearl for 1000 Federal Coins] Suddenly thinking about the time difference Su Jiyai asked, “What is the time difference between this world and my world?” Su Jiyai asked.
[Only 3 days have passed in your world.
You can stay in this world for one more day.] Su Jiyai nodded.
That was more than enough.
An idea appeared in her mind.
“You won’t teleport me to the punishment area, right?” Su Jiyai asked.
[No host.] “Do you know the price of mystic pearls in this world?” [Yes, host.
A mystic pearl is one of the rare commodities in this world.
Its price should start from 5000 gold coins.] Su Jiyai’s eyes sparkled.
“Good, I want to buy 100 mystic pearls.” [Host you again want to take a loan?] There was a hint of disdain in the system’s voice, which made Su Jiyai roll her eyes, “Just do as I say.” [Processing request…
100 Mystic Pearls have been bought.
Host’s balance is now negative 208.76 million federal coins.] Su Jiyai groaned.
I’m in debt again.” She sighed but then grinned.
“But it’s worth it!” The elder was unaware of the entire conversation in Su Jiyai’s head, and sighed, “Truly a spirit beast is talented.
You have emerged from the cultivation pagoda, without any injury, not that I want something to happen to you, but never in my life, anyone has ever existed the cultivation pagoda without any injury.” Just as he finished his words, Jake and Xi Ping emerged from the cultivation pagoda, completely unharmed.
Su Jiyai stared at the elder, who coughed and put on a stern expression, “You both are good.
To emerge from the cultivation pagoda with no injury, means you have some talent.” Su Jiyai: “…” Jake and Xi ping was empty handed and the elder couldn’t help but ask, “Did you both not come across any treasure?” Xi Ping and Jake decided to remain silent.
Their eyes involuntarily moved to the rings they were wearing in their hand.
They were lucky enough to come across a storage ring and put all their treasure in it.
Instead of answering, Jake asked, “Uh…can we leave the sect now?” The elder didn’t push the matter and nodded his head, “Sure.” Even though he said so, he didn’t leave Su Jiyai, it was clear that he never associated Su Jiyai with Jake and Xi Ping.
Or maybe, he did, but he refused to let Su Jiyai go.
Jake with a deadpan expression extended his hand, “Okay then please give her back to me.” The elder acted confused, “What do you mean?” But the elder’s body was much more honest, as he took two steps behind.
Jake narrowed his eyes, realizing the elder wasn’t going to make this easy.
“Look, I don’t have time for games.
She belongs with us, not with you.” The elder’s grip on Su Jiyai tightened a little as if he didn’t want to let her go.
“Spirit Beasts like her are rare and valuable.
Why should I just hand her over to you?” Su Jiyai rolled her eyes.
“I’m not a pet, you know.
I can make my own choices.” She struggled a bit in the elder’s grip, but he didn’t seem to notice.
Xi Ping stepped forward, her tone calm but firm.
“Elder, we appreciate everything you’ve done, but Su Jiyai isn’t staying here.
She’s coming with us.” The elder frowned.
“You’re asking for a lot.
Do you even realize how precious a Spirit Beast is?
You can’t just take her and leave.” Jake groaned, rubbing his temples.
“We don’t have time for this.
How about we make a deal?” The elder raised an eyebrow, clearly interested.
“What kind of deal?” Jake glanced at Su Jiyai, who gave him a subtle nod, understanding what he was about to do.
“We’ll give you something valuable in return for her.
Something rare.” The elder however wasn’t tempted, he firmly shook his head and said, “No need, I am happy with the spirit beast.
How about this, I will give you something rare in return for the spirit beast.” Jake: “…” Why is he not listening to any of my words?
Xi Ping: “…” I think he loves Su Jiyai a lot.
Su Jiyai: “…” God, was I truly so tempting?
