Yu Daohan moved the fish tank to the backyard and then poured all the spiritual spring water he had brought back into the well.
Should I throw in this spirit pearl too? Yu Daohan looked at the dragonfish in the fish tank beside him.
The dragonfish in the fish tank surfaced: Yes, just throw it in.
Yu Daohan took out the cool spirit pearl and threw it in. The moment the spirit pearl touched the spiritual spring water, a blue airflow emanated.
Yu Daohan looked at the spiritual spring water, which had not even filled a third of the well, and felt troubled. This little bit of water wouldn't be enough to keep her alive.
Add water. The spiritual energy emitted by the spirit pearl cannot be preserved by ordinary means. Once it comes into contact with the air, it will turn into cold energy. However, spiritual spring water is not ordinary water; it can serve as a carrier to preserve the spiritual energy emitted by the spirit pearl. This way, the spiritual spring water will not only not decrease in spiritual energy but will actually increase it.
A voice suddenly came from the large well nearby.
Yu Daohan and the dragonfish both looked in the direction of the well.
Yu Daohan was slightly surprised, but since it said it could, it must be able to.
Just as Yu Daohan was about to fetch water, a stream of clear spring water gushed out, landing precisely in the dry well next to it.
Yu Daohan looked at the dragonfish in the fish tank beside him: Alright, little one, I'll put you in.
As Yu Daohan spoke, he picked up the dragonfish and placed it in the small well.
The dragonfish swam around, surfaced, and said, "Thank you, Daddy."
Yu Daohan sighed. Another considerable expense. This spiritual spring water, if sold, would be at least a hundred thousand. It was gone just like that. Raising this little ancestor wasn't cheap either. He'd consider it baby formula money.
Who could blame him? She was his daughter.
Alright, you should focus on your cultivation. I have important matters to attend to. Yu Daohan said and walked towards the front shop.
Passing by the large well, Yu Daohan stopped: By the way, are you injured?
No, the voice spoke again.
Yu Daohan smiled faintly and said nothing, walking directly towards the front shop.
Arriving at the front shop, Yu Daohan lay on the rocking chair, took out his phone, found Biao Tao's number, and dialed it.
Ring, ring.
The call was answered after only two rings. Before Yu Daohan could speak, Biao Tao's voice came through the phone.
Master Yu, you're amazing. Zhenbao Sect has issued a bounty. Whoever can defeat the owner of the Midnight Shop, Yu Daohan, will be rewarded with a high-grade treasure from Zhenbao Sect.
A wry smile appeared on Yu Daohan's face. He hadn't expected Zhenbao Sect to go to such lengths.
Although this high-grade treasure was not comparable to the sect's supreme treasure, the manpower and resources required to forge a high-grade treasure were considerable.
I'm calling you precisely to discuss this matter.
Biao Tao didn't seem to hear what Yu Daohan was saying and continued, You're a big shot in the martial world now. But I doubt anyone will dare to accept this bounty. After all, who would dare to court death by challenging someone who can fight to a draw with a master on the Black List?
Oh, right, Master Yu, what were you saying? Biao Tao finally realized Yu Daohan had been speaking.
Yu Daohan was somewhat speechless and repeated himself: You should know someone in Zhenbao Sect. Call them and tell them to come and collect the Soul Protecting Bronze Ring.
The Soul Protecting Bronze Ring is with you? Biao Tao was a bit confused.
Yu Daohan didn't explain further, just made a perfunctory remark and hung up the phone.
Yu Daohan put his phone back in his pocket and closed his eyes to rest.
About an hour later, a Volkswagen drove towards the shop.
Yu Daohan slowly opened his eyes and saw four people get out of the car, led by Guo Cunhai.
Guo Cunhai glanced at the three large characters "Midnight Shop" on the plaque above the door, then walked in.
Master Yu, I've come to collect the Soul Protecting Bronze Ring, Guo Cunhai said first.
Yu Daohan slowly stood up from the rocking chair: Qiangzi stole this Soul Protecting Bronze Ring at the time. It's only right to return it to its rightful owner. Moreover, he also instructed that the spirit pearl be given to Zhenbao Sect as an apology.
Since Qiangzi said he wanted to give it to them, he wasn't someone who would be greedy for small gains.
Guo Cunhai and the others were overjoyed when they heard the word "spirit pearl." The value of this spirit pearl was no less than that of the Soul Protecting Bronze Ring. If they obtained this spirit pearl, Zhenbao Sect would have another treasure.
Ring, ring, ring.
Just as Yu Daohan was thinking about how to keep the spirit pearl, his phone suddenly rang.
Yu Daohan took it out and saw it was Xu Yayya calling.
Yu Daohan answered the phone, and inspiration struck. Before Xu Yayya could speak, he said first, What? What did you say? You need the spirit pearl to save your life.
No, I promised Qiangzi that I would give the spirit pearl to Zhenbao Sect. If I, Yu Daohan, break my word, how can I continue to mix in the martial world? Yu Daohan refused sternly.
I know we are brothers, but don't even think about this spirit pearl. What bounty? What bounty are you talking about? Yu Daohan looked at Guo Cunhai and the other four, his expression turning cold.
Xu Yayya on the other end of the line was completely bewildered. What was going on? What was wrong with Brother Yu? She just wanted to ask him what he wanted to eat tonight.
Guo Cunhai, seeing Yu Daohan's cold expression, felt a bit awkward. They had issued the bounty for Yu Daohan only three hours ago.
Wait a moment, I'll ask about this bounty.
Yu Daohan hung up the phone and looked at Guo Cunhai and the others: Old Guo, what do you mean by this?
Guo Cunhai didn't know what to say for a moment. They had just issued a bounty for the man, and now they wanted him to give them the spirit pearl. How could that be possible?
If it were me, I wouldn't agree either.
This is a misunderstanding. I'll call them right now to withdraw the bounty. Guo Cunhai said with a smile.
Guo Cunhai knew in his heart that issuing a bounty was extremely disrespectful to the person being sought. He had already prepared to fall out with Yu Daohan, but he hadn't expected this turn of events.
Since your brother needs the spirit pearl, take it. Guo Cunhai said with a fawning smile.
It was impossible to get the spirit pearl now; he could only sell Yu Daohan a favor.
Yu Daohan said a bit sheepishly, Since Old Guo has said so, I'll accept this spirit pearl.
Although Guo Cunhai's face was full of smiles, he cursed inwardly.
It seemed he had been tricked by this brat, Yu Daohan.
Thanks: [Su Luo] [Wu Yalan of the Western Regions] and many others, but I won't list them all. Thank you for the gifts.
Special thanks to [Dad] for the God-level authentication.
