Chapter 127 "Dividing the Spoils"
"Contracted beasts? You think I can handle that?"
Tu Shan pointed uncertainly at his nose, utterly speechless.
What kind of goddess does this person take her for? She's not even worthy of being called human.
Geng Yu: "Little mute, I have something to tell you, but don't tell anyone else."
"Say!"
Geng Yu looked around to make sure no one was there, then leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that a tough battle is coming soon. It's hard for me to improve quickly with my current strength, so I can only take shortcuts."
Tu Shan glanced at him; this kid was quite perceptive.
Taking him to the Forest of Green Woods is impossible.
It's too dangerous there. She would be in danger even if she went alone, let alone with a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"The place I'm going to is too dangerous and not suitable for you. Let my cheap apprentice take you there for training."
"No, I want to go with you. How about this, you take your cheap apprentice with you and come with me. Let him take care of me, and you just need to take care of yourself."
Ignoring Geng Yu's pitiful pleas, he said, "Get lost! Your grandmaster is off on business and doesn't have time to take care of you."
She doesn't even want to take on Rong Lu, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, let alone him, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Don't talk to me, let me rest for a while."
After Tu Shan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was the next day, and the banquet had ended.
He stretched, got out of bed, and went outside. His cheap apprentice was already waiting outside.
The moment Tu Shan saw Mu Sen, he grinned so wide his eyes disappeared.
"Master!"
"I was just about to look for you. Come on in, let's divide the spoils."
Musen couldn't help but laugh when he heard what she said.
This cheap master is quite fun; he doesn't have any strange or weird thoughts, and even if he does, you can see right through him.
Even if it's a scheme, it should be clear and transparent, leaving the person being schemed against to make their own choice.
More importantly, even if they are being schemed against, they are happy to accept it.
Live an open and honest life, yet also be shrewd and calculating.
"Okay, those two brats will be here soon."
The two approached the table. Tu Shan was about to pour water when she suddenly remembered something and looked at Mu Sen with a half-smile.
“My disciple, it’s not that I’m saying anything, but you have some good tea, shouldn’t you bring it out and offer it to your master?”
Mu Sen chuckled and took out his best seventh-grade Cloud Mist Tea, brewing it himself.
He finally understood that this cheap master was even more shameless than him.
Tu Shan glanced at the tea leaves on the table and gave Mu Sen a look that said, "You'd better know what's good for you."
"Disciple, how many spirit stones did we earn in total on this trip? I mean, after deducting expenses."
"One million sixty-two thousand high-grade spirit stones. I heard from that brat that Master has a plan for these spirit stones?"
“Yes, you and I will each receive 500,000 high-grade spirit stones. Of the remaining 62,000 high-grade spirit stones, 20,000 will be given to your sect as a reward, and the remaining 42,000 will be given to Geng Yu and Zhong Qi.”
When Mu Sen first heard Geng Yu share her thoughts, he was somewhat incredulous.
Anyone who knows Tu Shan knows how much she loved money.
I'd be content to receive 100,000 high-grade spirit stones from him.
Over the past thousand years, as a dignified eighth-grade alchemy master, he had only accumulated about 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.
There's no way to earn more and spend more.
At that moment, he truly admired Tu Shan's magnanimity.
They are never stingy with their own people.
For example, even if Geng Yu and Zhong Qi play a role, a high-grade spirit stone is still a significant amount.
Now that they're willing to give 20,000, those two brats must be ecstatic.
Mu Sen took out all the spirit stones he had obtained and divided them into two piles.
Tu Shan glanced at the spirit stones, took her share, and turned away without looking again.
"Put it away quickly; don't flaunt your wealth."
If we don't put it away soon, she'll change her mind!
"Master, are all these spirit stones mine and Zhong Qi's?"
Before the person arrived, their voice was heard.
Mu Sen rolled his eyes and carefully put away his share.
"Have some shame, stop dreaming! You take 20,000 high-grade spirit stones from the middle, Zhong Qi, you take 40,000, of which 20,000 are for your master as a reward for hosting this banquet."
"Yes, Senior Uncle!"
Zhong Qi put away the 40,000, thought for a moment, and then took out another 10,000 and pushed it in front of Mu Sen.
"Uncle-Master, this is what I owed you before."
Mu Sen accepted it without hesitation, his eyes sweeping over Geng Yu.
Don't blame him for wanting to beat this brat often; his brain really doesn't work. If it weren't for the fact that he has some talent in alchemy, he would have beaten him so badly he couldn't get out of bed long ago.
They had no sense of propriety; they didn't see that Zhong Qi, that brat, knew to pay back his debts, while Geng Yu, that brat, was just grinning like an idiot while hugging the spirit stones.
I wonder who he got his greedy nature from.
Zhong Qi nudged Geng Yu with his elbow. He was in a good mood, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to remind him and would have let the brat continue to get beaten up.
"What are you doing? Say what you want to say, don't get physical."
Geng Yu glared at him.
Zhong Qi was speechless. This idiot was hopeless. Didn't he see the fury blazing in his uncle's eyes?
"You brat, give me back my spirit stones."
Before Geng Yu could react, he instinctively put his spirit stone into his storage ring.
"Stop pretending. You owe me 10,010 high-grade spirit stones. Hand them over now."
He was fast, but Mu Sen was even faster, taking away the spirit stones that Geng Yu owed.
"Master, why are you snatching it? Can't you talk to me properly? Can't you let me hold it a little longer? I've never had so many spirit stones before."
Geng Yu shouted angrily, "It's not like I'm not going to return it to you, can't I return it later?"
"No way, look at your lack of ambition. There will be plenty of opportunities to earn spirit stones in the future. Don't be so short-sighted."
After Mu Sen finished speaking, he coughed lightly.
"What are you coughing for? You know you're embarrassed. Why are you trying to steal my spirit stones? Don't be so shallow."
Geng Yu rolled her eyes fiercely, her neck stiff.
"Paying back debts is a matter of course. Stop talking nonsense. Your master doesn't have time to chat with you right now." After yelling at Geng Yu, Mu Sen turned to Tu Shan with a smile: "Master, what are your plans next?"
Tu Shan didn't intend to say more, but said, "Go to the Green Wood Forest. Geng Yu wants to improve his strength. Take him out to train or find a way to improve his strength. He is feeling threatened right now."
"The Forest of Green Woods is too dangerous. Master, you'd better not go there."
"No, I have important business there, I have to go."
The life force is strongest there, and only there can her body recover at the fastest speed.
Not only Geng Yu felt a sense of crisis, but she did too, just not as strongly.
It might not happen in the short term, but her intuition tells her that something bad is bound to happen.
I had considered being with Ji Se before, but after careful consideration, I decided against it.
If such a day ever comes, given their current meager strength, it would be better for them to separate rather than die together, so that they might be able to save each other's lives in a life-or-death situation.
Musen knew that Tushan was a very opinionated person, so he didn't try to persuade her further.
He rummaged through the storage ring and found three jade boxes.
"Master, here are two eighth-tier Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, two eighth-tier Explosion Pills, and two eighth-tier Holy Spirit Pills."
Tu Shan was surprised that her cheap disciple was so generous, actually giving her so many eighth-grade pills, and felt a warmth in her heart.
Eighth-grade pills are now extremely rare and hard to come by; many people have to order them in bulk, and even then, success is not guaranteed.
It may take five ingredients to refine one pill.
