"No, master, whether it’s planted or inherited, just tell me first if there’s any hope for me." Y was bewildered for a few seconds before eagerly looking at Gu Zhiqi.
Right now, all he cared about was whether he could stay alive.
Y’s words snapped Gu Zhiqi out of his daze, who lazily lifted his eyelids and said to Y, "There is hope."
Upon hearing this, Y’s eyes instantly brightened, and he asked with great excitement, "Really, master?"
"Two methods, one costs five million, the other twenty million..."
"I choose the five million one!" Before Gu Zhiqi could finish, Y, without a second thought, blurted out and interrupted.
Five million and twenty million, is there even a choice to make?
Only a fool would choose twenty million!
"Fine." Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi couldn’t be bothered to explain the two methods and stood up, walking over to Y and saying, "I’ll now remove the citrus smoke from inside you."
"Ah? Just like that, with bare hands? Don’t we need to prepare anything?" Y looked up at Gu Zhiqi, baffled.
He always felt that things were too simple.
It always gave him a feeling of being in a dream.
"Hmm." Gu Zhiqi simply hummed in response.
"Do I need to meditate or anything? Is it removed all at once? Do we need to remove it in several tries?"
Removing it all at once felt somewhat unreal to him.
"No need, all at once, multiple times would be a different price," Gu Zhiqi answered each of Y’s questions one by one.
Gu Yuluo listened to Gu Zhiqi’s replies, her lips twitching slightly, then propped her chin and watched Gu Zhiqi with a bit of curiosity, asking, "What’s the difference between the two methods?"
From what she knew of the little girl.
Choosing the twenty million method would probably be more beneficial.
But oddly enough, the youth had chosen the five million one.
Hearing Gu Yuluo’s question, Y also looked at Gu Zhiqi with a hint of curiosity, "Could it be that the twenty million method you mentioned is the one where you remove it in multiple tries?"
"Oh, the twenty million one doesn’t involve removal," Gu Zhiqi said, unhurriedly, and as he spoke, his hands began to move, fingers starting to emit a faint white glow.
"Ah? Then why is it so expensive?" Y asked, completely bewildered.
Not removing it but being more expensive, could it be a mistake?
Gu Zhiqi couldn’t bother to explain and didn’t pay him any more attention, starting to form hand seals, preparing to remove the citrus smoke from Y’s body.
Gu Yuluo watched the faint shimmering light on Gu Zhiqi’s fingertips, staring nonstop.
It was her first time seeing someone’s fingers actually glow.
"Ding~ Upgrade mission 3 is triggered, please release the talent seal within Lv Yao’s body, assist him in awakening his Spirit Origin, select the Spirit Origin to be citrus smoke."
"Friendly reminder, Lv Yao is Y, okay~"
Suddenly, Chubby Chiu’s voice resounded in Gu Zhiqi’s mind, and his hand action paused slightly.
"He just refused," Gu Zhiqi spoke leisurely to Chubby Chiu.
Lv Yao rejected the second method because it was expensive, and Gu Zhiqi found the second method troublesome.
And the mission triggered was precisely the second method.
Chubby Chiu: "But he refused before the mission was triggered, which doesn’t count. You have to explain the second method to him, then his refusal will be valid."
Gu Zhiqi fell silent for a moment, reluctantly stopped what he was doing, and then, in his listless manner, looked at Lv Yao and asked, "Ever heard of Spirit Origin?"
Lv Yao, slightly stunned, looked at Gu Zhiqi, puzzled, and replied, "I’ve read about it in ancient books."
"The citrus smoke inside you is inherited, and it has already formed a bit of a connection with you, capable of awakening into a Spirit Origin."
