Chapter 37: Let’s Throw It Away
“Master, I don’t have enough gold element and spiritual energy in my body, so I can’t remember it now,” Xiao Jin replied vaguely while gnawing on the Spirit Stones.
Its answer was the exact same as five days ago.
Jun Mohuang’s instinct told her that this matter had to have something to do with it.
If she could obtain some clues from it, she might be able to find out who had caused her to lose her talent and damaged her meridians.
“How long will you take to remember?”
Jun Mohuang felt depressed as she watched Xiao Jin gobble up the Spirit Stones.
Di Lingtian explained, “At least one year. Next month onwards, it’ll eat 100 Spirit Stones a day, and it’ll only eat more in the future.”
“What a glutton!”
100 Spirit Stones a day meant more than 3,000 Spirit Stones in one month. That was almost the price of two spiritual artifacts at the auction house.
But the problem was that if she sold two spirit tools every month, there would be more of such tools in Huan Yun after a long time, and they would become worthless.
Its hunger would only grow in the future. Where would she find so many Spirit Stones for it to eat?
She was going to become bankrupt!
“So, Huang’er, let’s just throw it away.”
“Boohoo, Master, don’t listen to this bad guy! Don’t throw me away!”
Xiao Jin suddenly panicked, and even forgot about the Spirit Stones. Tears flowed out of it incessantly.
“You’re so useless. You only know how to eat all day long. Why should Huang’er keep you?”
Before Jun Mohuang spoke, Di Lingtian spoke first.
“Who said that I’m useless? I’m the Golden Spirit, and am more proficient in the art of refining than human beings. By staying with my master, I can let my master avoid any detours in refining!
“I can sense other elemental spirits, and make them serve Master well in the future!
“I can also sense all kinds of ore. With me by Master’s side, she’ll never lack the ores refiners need!
“Most importantly, the refining of an artifact requires the blood of the Golden Spirit. Without me, the artifact cannot be refined!”
Furious, Xiao Jin rattled on with its many benefits.
Its round body was now bulging with anger, and its golden hair stood up like a little hedgehog’s needles.
Jun Mohuang was a little surprised. She didn’t expect this greedy little hairball to have so many abilities. She had really picked up a treasure by accident.
“You’re right, but you don’t even have a grade. You can’t even teach Huang’er the simplest refining technique, let alone other skills.”
Its series of coveted abilities didn’t move Di Lingtian in the slightest.
“Who said I don’t?”
Now that its sore spot had been touched, Xiao Jin glared with its two round eyes, and sucked all the Spirit Stones on the ground into its mouth. Soon, its round body was supported by the Spirit Stones, and changed into an irregular shape.
Xiao Jin tried its best to absorb and refine all the Spirit Stones in its body. Finally, a red hexagon formed on its forehead.
Xiao Jin’s eyes were now gleaming with tears. “I’m of good quality. Don’t abandon me.”
The grades of a spirit body were the same as pills and weapons. They were divided into 7 grades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Each grade had 10 stars in total.
A red one star was just at the entry barrier, and wasn’t worth much.
But Xiao Jin knew that his master’s decision didn’t matter. If it wanted to stay, it would have to deal with this big demon.
“Fine, you at least have some backbone. Go find some ores and come back. Starting today, you’ll earn the Spirit Stones you want to eat.”
Di Lingtian flicked his jade-like fingers, and threw it out of the Mohuang Pavilion.
