Chapter 53: Ten Thousandfold Returns, Two Hundred Million Gold Coins!

 

Upon hearing Liu Ling's response, Gu He nodded faintly.

 

"Alright, hurry back and apply some Ice Heart Balm. Continue your special training tomorrow. When you break through to the Dou Master realm, I'll transmit techniques to you again."

 

Hearing about the transmission of techniques, Liu Ling's spirit trembled. She nodded firmly and said, "Disciple obeys!"

 

Afterwards, Liu Ling bowed to Gu He and nodded at Xiao Yi Xian before leaving the courtyard.

 

"Teacher, is Senior Brother okay?"

 

Watching Liu Ling's departing figure, Xiao Yi Xian felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

 

Did she provoke Senior Brother?

 

Next time, after her breakthrough, she should be more low-key.

 

Xiao Yi Xian muttered to herself.

 

"No worries. If this kid can't handle this little setback, he won't become much in the future." Gu He casually waved his hand and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yi Xian.

 

"I promised that once you break through to the Dou Master realm, I would reward you."

 

Gu He beckoned to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Now that you've broken through, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

 

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brightened, and she excitedly approached Gu He.

 

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's excited expression, Gu He instinctively wanted to perform the technique again. Suddenly, the thought from last time crossed his mind.

 

Today was a good opportunity to test it.

 

Thinking of this, Gu He didn't directly perform the transmission but instead ran his hand over the storage ring. Soon, a golden card with seven lines appeared in his hand.

 

"Apprentice, you have the Poison Body and need to ingest a large amount of poison. Although you can apply for a batch of medicinal materials within the sect every month, if you request poison every time, it might raise suspicions."

 

After saying this, Gu He handed the seven-lined purple gold card to Xiao Yi Xian.

 

"This is a seven-lined fund card. It contains two million and two hundred thousand gold coins. While it might not be much, it should be enough for purchasing poison."

 

Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at the purple gold card handed over by Gu He, momentarily unable to react.

 

Although she didn't know what a seven-lined purple gold card represented, the two million and two hundred thousand gold coins were enough to shock her.

 

Even though she had never seen so much gold before, it didn't mean she didn't understand the significance of two million and two hundred thousand gold coins.

 

Back when she was still working at the Ten Thousand Poison Hall in Qing Shan Town, she earned only a thousand gold coins in a year. According to her understanding, Ten Thousand Poison Hall's annual income was less than twenty thousand gold coins.

 

Two million gold coins represented the income of over a hundred Ten Thousand Poison Halls in a year.

 

This enormous sum of money made Xiao Yi Xian feel a little uneasy.

 

"Teacher, this... so much money, disciple cannot accept."

 

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yi Xian bit her lip and unexpectedly rejected the purple gold card that Gu He handed over.

 

Upon hearing this, Gu He was slightly stunned.

 

Why did this girl refuse?

 

Gu He was puzzled; this was the first time Xiao Yi Xian rejected something from him.

 

"Why?"

 

Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian with some confusion.

 

"Teacher, you have imparted to disciple insights into alchemy, martial arts techniques, and even went so far as to transmit techniques through initiation. For disciple, these are already enormous favors."

Xiao Yi Xian explained in a low voice, "How could disciple spend teacher's money?"

 

At her words, Gu He paused and looked at the conflicted expression on Xiao Yi Xian's face, suddenly realizing something.

 

Perhaps, in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, the teachings of martial arts, techniques, and even the cultivation of Qi were considered normal. That's why Xiao Yi Xian readily accepted the rewards Gu He bestowed upon her. However, giving money directly to a disciple seemed inappropriate, as it went beyond the scope of teaching and guidance.

 

Therefore, after some hesitation, Xiao Yi Xian chose to decline the purple gold card that Gu He offered.

 

Understanding this, Gu He couldn't help but wear a bitter smile.

 

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian, who lowered her head as if she had done something wrong and was awaiting judgment, he smiled silently.

 

"Silly girl!"

 

Gu He reached out and rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's head, then directly stuffed the purple gold card into her hand.

 

"Teacher, I..."

 

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the purple gold card in her hand, feeling uneasy, wanting to say something.

 

"Alright, since it's a gift from the teacher, just accept it obediently. Don't think too much about it." Gu He shook his head, his tone unusually domineering.

 

"But, teacher, I..."

 

Xiao Yi Xian hesitated, wanting to explain.

 

"Elder's gift, don't refuse. Do you want to defy your teacher's orders?" Gu He's tone became stern.

 

"Okay... okay."

 

Seeing that Gu He seemed a bit angry, Xiao Yi Xian dared not speak anymore.

 

Once Xiao Yi Xian agreed to accept it, a smile finally appeared on Gu He's face.

 

"Girl, a mere two million gold coins is nothing to your teacher. Just take it with peace of mind. Consider it as your teacher giving you pocket money. In the future, if you need any poisons, you can go to the Gama Imperial City to buy them yourself." Gu He rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's little head, smiling gently.

 

Hearing Gu He's gentle words, Xiao Yi Xian's uneasy feelings gradually dissipated. She nodded gently and said, "Thank you, teacher."

 

Gu He smiled without saying anything.

 

"Ding, detected that the host has given the second disciple Xiao Yi Xian two hundred and twenty-two million gold coins. Congratulations to the host for triggering the Ten Thousandfold Returns, obtaining two hundred and twenty billion gold coins!"

 

"All coins have been deposited into the system space. Please check carefully, host."

 

At this moment, a system prompt sounded slowly in Gu He's mind.

 

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Gu He's eyes flickered with a hint of joy.

 

This method really worked!

 

However, after thinking about the content of the prompt, Gu He's eyes showed a trace of bewilderment.

 

Ten Thousandfold Returns!

Two hundred and twenty billion gold coins!

How much money was this?

 

At this moment, Gu He was a bit dumbfounded.

 

Right now, he only had one thought in his mind.

 

Would suddenly introducing so much money cause inflation in the Gama Empire?

 

Perhaps even if he sold the entire Gama Empire, he wouldn't be able to get this much money.

 

However, even if it caused inflation, what did it have to do with him?

 

Gu He quickly reacted, and his mind swiftly entered the system space to take a look.

 

The imagined towering pile of gold coins did not appear.

 

Gu He's gaze swept around, and he found a mysterious purple card floating in the system's void.

 

With a thought, Gu He directly took the purple gold card into his hand.

 

Then, a stream of information surged into his mind.

 

Infinite Gold Coin Card

 

Maximum Balance: 20 million gold coins

Remaining Gold Coins: 220 billion

Ability: Automatically replenish gold coins

 

After a brief examination, Gu He completely understood the ability of this purple gold card.

 

After understanding the ability of this purple gold card, a brilliant smile appeared on Gu He's face.
