The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 52 How to Obtain Spiritual Stones

(Fourth update on Tuesday, please read it!)
After buying the puppet, Zhou Xun only had more than 20 low-level spiritual stones left on him, which was not enough to even activate the puppet.

His original plan was to sell the batch of low-level cultivation resources obtained from the Chen family's foundation building, but he did not expect that he would spend all the spiritual stones this time, so even if he sold this batch of resources, it would not be enough.

It is impossible for him to sell his top-level magic weapon.As soon as my mind changed, I suddenly had an idea.

So he drove the windboat to the Yellow Maple Valley main hall.

In the blink of an eye, he was above the main hall.

Upon hearing the news of Zhou Xun's visit, Zhong Lingdao walked out quickly.It has been almost a year since I last saw Zhong Lingdao.The leader of the clock is still the same, not changed at all.

But because of his age, Zhou Xun keeps changing every year, and he is now 18 years old.The face is like a crown jade, free and elegant.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a year, and you have become even more handsome and handsome." Zhong Lingdao complimented Zhou Xun as soon as he saw him.

Zhou Xun laughed, which was quite helpful, and he became more pleased with Zhong Lingdao.

"My nephew is really good at talking!"

Seeing Zhou Xun's happy expression, he wondered why the young uncle came here this time.This man is the master who will go to the Three Treasures Palace no matter what.

Thinking of the experience of searching for him a few weeks ago, I felt uneasy.So he tried:

"I wonder what my uncle has ordered here. Is there any place where my nephew can serve?"

"Yes, I have!"

When Zhong Lingdao heard this, his expression froze, and he knew something was wrong. He glanced around and found that the two guards were staring at him and Zhou Xun.So he coughed lightly and said sternly to the two guards:

"You guys watch carefully here"

Then he turned to Zhou Xun, showed a smile, and said:
"Uncle Master, let's go into the inner hall to talk." He pointed towards the inner hall.

When Zhou Xun first entered the palace gate, he followed him in half a step behind.

When they arrived at the inner hall, the two sat down.

Zhou Xun took out a tea set from the storage bag, placed it on the table, and then prepared two cups of Lingwu Mother Tea according to the technique taught to him by Zhong Lingdao.

"Master nephew, have a taste of my craftsmanship"

Zhou Xun looked leisurely and content at this time, immersed in drinking tea, as if he just came to Zhong Lingdao to drink tea, without any intention of mentioning his purpose.

Seeing this, Zhong Lingdao had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.Accompany Zhou Xun to taste spiritual tea.

After taking a sip, it turned out to be Lingwu Mother Tea. Zhong Lingdao gradually became immersed in the lingering fragrance of this Lingwu Tea, forgetting that Zhou Xun came to him for business.

"This tea has a special taste every time you taste it, which makes people immersed in it," Zhong Lingdao said in admiration.

"Is this tea good?" Zhou Xun looked cunning.

"Lingwu Mother Tea is the best in the world, and of course it is a good tea."

"I made it, does it taste good?" Zhou Xun continued to ask.

"Uncle Master's skills are extraordinary, and he shows the taste of this spiritual tea vividly." Zhong Lingdao was still immersed in the joy of tea tasting, closing his eyes slightly, savoring the taste.

When Zhou Xun heard this, he laughed and said:

"That's good, haha. Now that you've drank my tea, my nephew will have to do something good for me." Zhou Xuntu looked at Master Zhong with a smile on his face.

Zhong Lingdao paused after hearing the words, and immediately sat up straight, breaking away from the elegant and leisurely mood.

After drinking this young master's tea, I tried to shirk myself, but I just couldn't give him face, so I said dryly:
"It's an honor for me to serve my uncle. If you have anything to do, just ask me directly. Why do you need to invite my nephew to tea? Are you too polite?" "Haha, I feel relieved when my nephew says this!"

"It's been three years since I started working, and I haven't received my annual salary. Today, I'm here to receive my annual salary." Zhou Xun looked like I was here to receive the money.

Zhong Lingdao's eyes widened immediately when he heard this. He thought he had heard wrong and said quickly:

"Uncle, have you forgotten? You already withdrew ten years of your annual salary in advance last year, and you won't be able to collect it for another eight years. You shouldn't deny it, right?"

Zhong Lingdao thought about many possibilities, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Zhou Xun was here to receive his annual salary.Last year Zhou Xun had already received his annual salary seven years later.It took a lot of effort to cover it up.

This young master uncle won’t deny it now, right?Then you're just setting yourself up for trouble!The price of this cup of tea is too high.

No way, no way.

"No, I will remember it. Don't worry, nephew!"

“It’s okay if you don’t, it’s okay if you don’t!”

Zhong Lingdao felt relieved when he heard that Zhou Xun had no intention of denying his credit.It's okay if he doesn't default on the debt. If he defaults on the debt, he really can't deal with it. When the time comes, he can only use his own spiritual stones to make up for it.

That's a total of 5000 spirit stones. Even if he is the leader of Huang Maple Valley, it will still be very taxing.You have to sell the magic weapons to get it together.

Not long after he felt relieved, Zhou Xun's next words gave him an even bigger headache.

"I came here this time to claim all the 20 years," Zhou Xun said carelessly, as if he was not ashamed to speak loudly, as it should be.

"Uncle Master, are you kidding me?"

Zhong Lingdao's eyes were wide open and he looked at Zhou Xun in disbelief.How can anyone extend his annual salary to 20 years later? This is the first time he has lived for more than 100 years.

If everyone was like this, then the Yellow Maple Valley would have been destroyed long ago.

"I'm not kidding, I'm here to receive ten years of annual salary." Zhou Xun also knew that it was a bit bad for him to do this, but he was really short of spiritual stones, so he had to make this last resort.

Anyway, Patriarch Linghu is his master, so there is nothing wrong with using a little spirit stone. The Huang Maple Valley family has a great business, so his master will not blame him if he knows about it.

Besides, I didn’t get it for free, it was just an advance on my annual salary. It would have to be paid sooner or later anyway. It’s better to pay it late than to pay it early, Zhou Xun thought.

"Uncle Master, this is absolutely not allowed. The annual salary is paid once a year. Last time you received it for ten years, it was an exception." Zhong Lingdao had a bitter look on his face. This man came to him again and again. Nothing good happens.

If other foundation-building monks dared to do this, even if he was a disciple of the pill-forming monk, he would have been kicked out by him long ago. But he really didn't dare to offend the man in front of him, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only coax him. .

"Nephew, you drank the tea too. You have to take care of all the things for me. There's no point in just accepting gifts and not doing anything." Zhou Xun pretended to be angry.

"Uncle, this matter is really difficult for my nephew. If he is discovered by then, I won't be able to bear the consequences." Zhong Lingdao looked helpless and bowed to Zhou Xun repeatedly, hoping that he would change his mind.

"This is because you are wrong. There is no difference between an annual salary advance and a 20-year advance. Besides, I didn't get it for free, and the sect didn't suffer a loss either."

"Even if you find out by then, you will be fine as long as I protect you. If it doesn't work, if you blame me for everything, just say that I forced you to do it, okay?"

"If you refuse again, we will no longer be friends." Zhou Xun said with a straight face.

"Okay, my nephew agrees."

Seeing that Zhou Xun had said this, Zhong Lingdao could only agree.A look of despair.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"My nephew is really a trustworthy person!"
