45 Chapter 45 Rolling In Money (1/2)

A branch of the Sanlu Bank was in the middle of this street, its signboard visible from some distance. However the two of them had just walked forwards a few steps before Chuxue fell to the ground heavily.

Zong Shou was startled; a martial cultivator was dexterous and swift, especially Chuxue with her bloodline's talents. The chances of her falling when walking were one out of a hundred, it was nearly impossible.

However, she had not fallen onto the ground for no reason.

Chuxue's face was red all the way to the root of her ears. Just as she was quickly standing up, she let out a surprised shriek. After she brushed off the dust from herself she picked up a red cloth bag. When she opened it, she saw that it was filled with gold.

”It's a money bag. There's so much gold in it, ten gold and seven hundred silver and also a Grade One monster crystal. Young Master, who dropped this? We need to return it to them…”

As she said that, Chuxue walked forwards while counting money. At that moment, a giant basin fell from the building beside her, directly hitting her head.

The basin immediately broke, blood dripping from her forehead, and her eyes was filled with fury. The next moment she gave out an ”Yi!”, taking out a finger-sized black fruit from the dirt inside it.

”Young Master, what is this? It looks like the seed of spirit wood, the spirit energy inside is so strong…”

The corners of Zong Shou's eyes started to twitch.

That core-shaped thing was a thousand-year lightning almond seed. If any spirit master below the Out of Body stage saw it, it would be a treasure to them.

Be it making spirit tools or crafting medicine, this item had huge use. Probably when the master of the plant was making soil, he accidentally mixed this black seed into the soil.

Was this the power of the talisman? Falling down for no reason and picking up three thousand silver worth of items. Being hit on the head by a pot and getting a thousand-year lightning almond seed.

Just as the talisman mentioned, ”Fortune comes from misfortune, misfortune comes from fortune”, it was totally true.

As he thought about that, his face gave off a really weird expression. He didn't know whether he should feel depressed or happy. Anyways, he was really glad he didn't use himself as a guinea pig.

Before he could sort out his thoughts, a sword flew through the air. This time Chuxue was able to dodge in time, getting out of the way dangerously. However just as that long sword flew past, it totally cut off her right sleeve.

---

There were a total of seventeen hundred steps from the start of the street to the branch of the bank. However, the entire process was filled with situations.

Zong Shou didn't say a word, quietly remembering and taking note of everything. Chuxue fell a total of four times, picking up twelve thousand silver and two night glow pearls. Smashed by a pot, she got a thousand-year lightning almond seed as a reward. When she was nearly stabbed by the sword, the owner gave her a two thousand silver dress, as well as three thousand silver for her distress. On the road she was struck by a carriage, luckily she was uninjured. However the owner also compensated her with a Cloud Stepping Foal…

”Fortune comes from misfortune, misfortune comes from fortune”, it was totally true.

Zong Shou tried his best to act like nothing was happening, his face expressionless.

”Young Master, there has to be a god in this world, right? Did Xue'er do something wrong?”

”Bullshit, how are there gods in the world? As a martial cultivator, you should believe in yourself, not a god. Even if the ancient Hongmeng God that spirit masters believed in, the Buddhas that the Buddhists believe in are true, as martial cultivators, we shouldn't fear anything. So what if they are gods, if we train our martial arts to a certain level, can't we kill any kind of god?”

”Then why is Xue'er so unlucky? Falling for no reason, being knocked by carriages! If there is no god, is there spirits involved? So infuriating! If I catch it I will break it into shreds!”

Zong Shou nearly burst out laughing, barely managing to bear with it. He also felt a little guilty, making up his mind that he couldn't let her find out about this talisman.
