Qin Mu didn't see the image of the Ethereal Sect's Imperial Sword quickly passing over Guanhai City, he was looking at a bill handed to him by Cang Bo.

There were exclamations in the streets outside the bookstore.

However, when Qin Mu turned his head to look, he couldn't see anything anymore.

He could only concentrate his attention on the thin bill in his hand again, which recorded the income of Zhuangyuan Bookstore last month, which was only 27 taels.

After removing the 25 yuan rent that the house and bookstore need to pay every month, I only earned two yuan last month.

And these two copper coins also need to remove Cangbo's monthly salary of 200 Wen, as well as the salary of the cook and servant at home, a total of 200 Wen.

Under the rule of the Dayu Dynasty, 1,200 copper coins were consistent, and consistent copper coins were one or two pieces of silver.

In this way, he only earned 1 tael 800 wen last month.

This little money can only ensure that he will not starve to death.

If you want to eat something good, it's impossible to improve your food.

Looking at this pitiful profit, Qin Mu couldn't help but reach out and cover his face.

Seeing Qin Mu's appearance, Cang Bo on the side couldn't help but explain: "Owner, we made little profit last month because the books were almost sold, and now there are only scriptures left in the bookstore that no one cares about. ”

"If there are no new books, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the rent next month."

After saying this, he subconsciously sighed lightly, with a sad look on his face, remembering the owner couple who died in an accident not long ago.

It was precisely because the books in the bookstore were almost sold that they went to buy them together, and the husband and wife both died.

Qin Mu had a headache when he heard this, but he still nodded and said, "I will find a way as soon as possible." ”

After that, he chatted with Cang Bo for a few more words, and then picked up the oil-paper umbrella and left.

On the way, when he passed by the ship, which was erected on a stone frame, he saw a young man with a simple appearance, dressed in a blue robe, standing on the deck and speaking indifferently to the man in front of him.

"Zhao Yuanjing, elimination."

After Qin Mu glanced up, he shook his head and left.

……

Late at night, in a room above the ship;

Zhang Qianren used his divine sense to observe that all the disciples on the boat were meditating and cultivating, and after quickly opening his eyes, he slowly released his left hand, which had been clenched into a fist.

Under the dim candlelight, a gold hoop with a pattern engraved on both ends, and a black iron embroidery needle in the middle was printed into his eyes.

"Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick......"

After muttering in his heart, Zhang Qianren's old cheeks revealed a look of both apprehension and excitement.

He has always been cautious, and after leading a group of disciples into the East China Sea during the day, he has been accompanying those disciples to play treasure hunting games until it is dark before returning to this 'cloud-piercing boat'.

Naturally, those disciples found nothing, wasted a lot of water avoidance talismans, and swam in the East China Sea for a day.

And he took advantage of the fact that those disciples were not paying attention, and used the storage ring to collect a lot of metal at the bottom of the sea.

To his excitement, he would soon find out if this strange treasure, known as the 'Innate Treasure', could restore his spirituality by devouring metal, as the message said.

The same is true of those who are apprehensive.

He feared that it was all fake.

Zhang Qianren took several deep breaths before taking out a piece of iron from the storage ring with trembling hands, which was still wet and sticky with shells and seaweed.

He didn't know how to get the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod to devour the piece of iron, so he could only tentatively put the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod the size of an embroidery needle on the iron.

The next moment, this piece of iron, the size of a human head, slowly shrank visibly in his surprised expression.

In a short time, his knees were covered with seaweed and shells.

"It's really capable of devouring metal!"

Zhang Qianren's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of excitement and took out pieces of metal from the storage ring.

At the same time, Qin Fuzhong;

Qin Mu, who had already fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a series of prompts in his ears.

"Your wishful golden rod devours iron ore, experience +1."

"Your wishful golden rod devours iron ore, experience +1."

"Your wishful golden rod devours iron ore, experience +1."

"Your wishful golden rod devours iron ore, experience +1."

As frequent prompt messages appeared in his mind, a smile suddenly appeared on Qin Mu's face.

"They're finally starting to improve the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick!"

"Don't stop!"

"Push it up!"

"It's best to raise the level of the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod to level 100 in one night!"

Qin Mu was thinking about this in his mind, and there was no sleepiness on his face.

After he sat up on the edge of the bed, his eyes burned at the black shadow of the beam in the dark, the 'pillar'-shaped black shadow, like a wishful golden hoop stick lying horizontally.

The prompt sound that sounded in his mind was like the most beautiful music in the world, and every time a prompt sounded, Qin Mu would gently pat his leg with his hand to accompany it.

After about ten minutes, the content of the prompt suddenly changed.

"When you upgrade your Wishful Golden Hoop Rod to level 1, you will receive +1 feedback on the Metallic Spirit Root, and you can choose who to give feedback to."

Qin Mu was originally going to accept the feedback this time, but after thinking about it, he should give up the benefits first.

Just like the bait when fishing, it is better to use this feedback in exchange for the other party's extra effort.

After all, there is no upper limit to the improvement of the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick.

In the long run, this choice will work in his favor.

Thinking of this, Qin Mu chose the feedback object in his heart, and through the connection with the golden hoop stick, he wrote a piece of content.

Also at this moment, Zhang Qianren in a room in Lou Chuan suddenly changed his expression.

The reason was that a message appeared in his mind at this moment.

"The Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod has received a faint spiritual recovery, bringing you the feedback of the metallic spiritual root."

As this information disappeared, he suddenly noticed a coolness appearing out of thin air in the tail hole, and spread up his spine, straight into his mind.

The coldness hit him, and he subconsciously shivered.

Then, with almost trembling hands, he took out a palm-sized stone tablet from the storage ring to test the spirit root.

On the stone stele, the seal is engraved with the five characters of 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth', and under these five words, there is a thin line that is recessed.

On one side of the five thin lines, at intervals, there is a value.

After Zhang Qianren lightly imprinted his palm on the stone tablet, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

After a few breaths, I saw a thin fiery red line appear on the recessed vertical line under the word 'fire', and this thin line slowly rose to the value of 30 at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then never moved again.

And after it stopped, a thin golden line appeared on the vertical line that was recessed under the word 'gold'.

But the thin line just came out of nowhere and stopped at the value of 1.

"Golden ...... Jin Linggen, true ...... It really appeared! ”

Zhang Qianren's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.

In the past, he only had a single fire spirit root in the 'middle and lower', but at this moment, a second spirit root really appeared on the 'spirit tablet'!

He knows exactly what that means!

As long as he continues to improve the spirituality of the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, this Golden Spirit Root, which is currently only 1, will also continue to improve.

This also means that one day, the value of this golden spirit root will reach 100 of the full value, or even exceed this value, becoming a rare 'heavenly spirit root' through the ages!

And as far as he knew, in this world, all the Heavenly Spirit Root owners, without exception, had all become immortals!

As soon as Zhang Qianren thought of this, boundless pride suddenly appeared in his chest.

At this moment, he wanted to laugh out loud, but he didn't dare to do it.

He could only clench his fists and breathe deeply.

But this excitement and excitement were beyond the scope of what he could suppress.

So, under the light of the flickering candlelight, his old cheeks suddenly began to twitch slightly.
