Yaoqin did not get the praise she had expected from Chu Xingchen.
Instead, Chu Xingchen's expression swiftly changed to match Li Yingling's behind him.
Rather than good news, this seemed more like a bolt from the blue to him.
Yaoqin looked puzzled. "...What's wrong? Just save up a little Wish Power, enough to handle it."
Judging by the Spirit Stones in his ring, if he really purified them all with Wish Power, Chu Xingchen would undoubtedly earn himself a title-peerless philanthropist.
That's completely unrealistic! If I have to work hard to obtain Wish Power just to purify Spirit Stones, how is that any different from working a job?
I'm already cultivating to become an immortal, and I still have to be a wage slave?
And pay my own wages with my own money, at that?
Chu Xingchen could only ask, "Could I trouble you to think of another way besides Wish Power?"
Yaoqin instantly caught on and eyed Chu Xingchen suspiciously.
"Do you have a batch of these Blood Qi Spirit Stones? Is your real goal to purify these Spirit Stones so you can spend them?"
Chu Xingchen answered sheepishly, "I do have a few..."
"How many? Two or three hundred? If that's all, I can exchange them for you. My sect would probably take some of these Blood Qi Spirit Stones to study."
Chu Xingchen lowered his head, looking slightly embarrassed. "..."
"One or two thousand?!" Yaoqin was shocked at first, then sighed. "That shouldn't be too difficult either. Other sects would probably take some to study as well. I'll see if I can contact them for you."
Chu Xingchen still did not lift his head. "..."
Yaoqin drew a deep breath. All she could say was that he really was Chu Xingchen, shattering her composure every so often.
