Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 209: Monsters

The battle between zithers naturally ended with Mu Bao Bao’s victory.

However, it was a surprise that the zither floating there wasn’t even able to take a single note from Mu Bao Bao’s zither.

The moment that she plucked her string, the strings of the zither floating there snapped instantly and it fell to the ground. As it laid there on the ground, it was as if whatever had been inhabiting the zither had completely disappeared without a trace.

It was as if the zither had lost all signs of life just from that single note from Mu Bao Bao.

That was the difference between them.

However, since the zither’s string had snapped and it seemed to lose all life, it wasn’t as if this zither had any value left.

Mu Bao Bao might have passed, but she had also destroyed her prize...

It was just that Mu Bao Bao didn’t seem to care about her prize at all.

She just picked up the zither that had fallen to the ground and brought it over to me, as if she was presenting it to me. The way that she did this, it was almost like a dog that was giving a present to its master.

Of course, if I were to ever say this out loud...there was no telling what she would have done to me.

Though I didn’t really want the zither remains as well since there was nothing that I could really do with it.

Seeing the way that Mu Bao Bao looked at me, I had no choice but to take it.

Then the moment that she turned away, I tossed it to Gao Fu Shuai who was standing nearby.

Gao Fu Shuai took it with an excited look on his face since he could tell that the material that this zither was made of wasn’t normal. It wasn’t just him that could tell that, it was also the rest of the lackeys that could tell the same thing.

Since spending so much time with their young master, they had slowly been learning to identify different items.

They knew what expensive items looked like now.

After finishing this trial, it seemed like Liu Ao Xue wanted to bring us over to another trial.

However, this time we found that the trial was already being done by someone else.

Someone had reached this place before us and they were currently taking the trial.

It seemed that this trial was about composing poems against the brush that was floating in the center of the energy dome.

The one that was competing against it was one of the young masters who had competed in the poetry competition during the Heavenly Conference.

It didn’t seem like either side was winning at the rate that they were going, but it didn’t seem like the young master was planning on giving up.

There were some others that were also outside of the energy dome watching it all happen.

The moment that we arrived, they all put up their guards as if they were worried that we would try to steal this from them.

However, I just waved my hand at them and said, "I don’t care."

They were completely taken aback when they heard me say this, but they eventually relaxed their guards a bit when they saw us sit down on the side to watch the young master compete with the brush.

It took another fifteen minutes, but the young master was able to beat the brush and claim it in the end.

It seemed that the Heavenly Conference did have a meaning to it, even if it seemed like it was meaningless.

The young master looked like he was completely exhausted from having to compete with the brush, but he also didn’t let his guard down when the energy dome around him collapsed. He instantly grouped up with his group and then warily looked at our group, as if he was afraid that we would steal the brush from him.

In my eyes though, that brush wasn’t worth anything.

Still, he gave me a good show, so I would treat him well.

Even though they looked at us with wary looks, I waved my hand at their group and said, "Come and join us for some refreshments."

Their group was completely taken aback when they heard this, but they were moved since they could sense the spiritual energy of the things that I had taken out.

I had taken out the same things that I always took out.

These were high grade herbs that they would never be able to make contact with in their lives unless they were very lucky, yet here they were being spread out in front of them like this.

If someone was going to lay a trap for them, they wouldn’t have taken out these precious herbs...

So in the end, I was able to convince them to sit down and have some refreshments with us.

At the same time, I was able to get a few tidbits of information from them as their tongues became loose as they became drunk on spiritual energy. They weren’t actually drunk, but they were drunk on the feeling of having this much spiritual energy in them.

That made them a bit giddy and a bit careless.

However, this wasn’t a bad thing for them as they quickly recovered from their exhaustion and had even made progress on their cultivation.

It didn’t take long before they started thanking me for the things that I gave them, even though they were the ones helping me by wasting these things with me.

Before we could end the picnic, there was a loud sound that came from the distance that said, "Get those monsters!"

I was surprised to hear this voice, but I didn’t get a chance to ask about it as the young master’s group suddenly stood up and drew their weapons. The young master also said, "Young Master Lin, the monsters are coming! Leave this to us!"
