ãAt the age of 5, Ye Yu sat inside the Lotus Sect.ã
ãHe stared blankly into the distance.ã
ãBeside him was a young girl, arranging the materials needed for a formation.ã
ãOn that night five years ago, that old man not only didnât harm Ye Yu, he even brought him back and took care of him meticulously.ã
ãAfterwards, Ye Yu came to know that this old man was named Geng Haisheng.ã
ãA name that carried a strong fishermanâs vibe.ã
ãHaisheng, born by the sea.ã
ãSimple, straightforward, and easy to understand.ã
ãGeng Haisheng seemed not to like this name very much either.ã
ãThus, he often insisted that if Ye Yu went out or if there were guests, he must be called Master Geng.ã
ãThis seemed to add a bit more prestige.ã
ãGeng Haisheng was not a demonic cultivator; he came from the righteous path.ã
ãHe had joined a small sect in his early years, but after offending the higher-ups, he couldnât make it there and decisively left.ã
ãHis talent could only be described as extremely ordinary.ã
ãAfter two hundred and eighty years of cultivation, he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.ã
ãDespite his low cultivation level, his ambitions were high.ã
ãTen years ago, Geng Haisheng had a sudden idea and directly took over a mountain to establish a sect.ã
ãHe named it the Lotus Sect.ã
ãHe founded the sect and became its head.ã
ãHowever, after ten years of development, he only accepted two disciples. One was the young girl in front of Ye Yu, named Su Yao.ã
ãThe other was Ye Yu.ã
ãTwo underage children, along with a two-hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator. This formed a sect.ã
ãTo speak of it, it was indeed a bit laughable.ã
ãAnd over these five years, Ye Yu had not taken any action.ã
ãIt wasnât that he hadnât considered whom to invest in.ã
ãBut rather, he had nothing to invest with at all.ã
ãHe had nothing but an uneaten bun from that morning.ã
ãAt only 5 years old, Ye Yu couldnât sustain himself without food.ã
ãSo, up until now, Su Yao would personally cook for him.ã
ãSu Yaoâs culinary skills were excellent.ã
ãEven though Geng Haisheng had already reached the Foundation Establishment and could sustain himself without food, he would often come to eat with them.ã
ãBut no matter how delicious the bun was, it was still just a bun, not cultivation.ã
ãThis left Ye Yu feeling quite insecure.ã
ãWait a minute, who said a bun canât be an investment?ã
ãThinking of this, Ye Yu immediately turned his head to look at Su Yao.ã
ãAlthough this young girl was still small, it was already evident that she was an outstanding beauty in the making.ã
ãIn the future, when she grew up, she would undoubtedly be very beautiful.ã
ãAlright, I choose you!ã
ãYe Yu made up his mind and successfully linked Su Yao as his investee.ã
ãThis did not mean that something must happen with Su Yao. But since he had the right to choose, why not pick something pleasant to the eye?ã
ãThis way, when looking at her, he would feel better about his investments.ã
ãAfter completing the binding, Ye Yu immediately walked over to Su Yaoâs side and said, Senior Sister, youâve worked hard. Have a bun, drink some water, and take a rest.ã
ãSu Yao revealed a gratified smile.ã
ãTaking the bun and water bottle, she said, Thank you, Junior Brother.ã
ãSu Yao sat cross-legged and quickly finished the bun, drinking a few sips of water.ã
ãInvestment completed: Bun and Water!ã
ãHearing this notification sound, Ye Yuâs mood greatly improved.ã
ãAs expected, anything can be an investment; even buns and water are no exceptions.ã
ãYe Yu started to look forward to it in his heart.ã
ãWhat will the reward be?ã
ãInvestment completed, cashback threefold.ã
ãThree buns and two liters of water.ã
ãIn the next second, Ye Yu suddenly felt a strong sensation of fullness.ã
ãHe immediately sat on the ground, his face flushed red.ã
ãSo full!ã
ãNoticing Ye Yuâs unusual state, Su Yao hurriedly came forward to inquire, Junior Brother, whatâs wrong with you?ã
ãSenior Sister, IâhicâIâm fine!ã
ãYe Yu burped several times in succession.ã
ãHe just felt very uncomfortable.ã
ãSure enough, this talent does not have a bug!ã
ãThankfully, the investment was just one bun. If it had been two, wouldnât I have been stuffed to death?ã
ãAt 18, Ye Yu had reached adulthood.ã
ãAnd Senior Sister Su Yao had become even more beautiful and captivating, exuding an intellectual beauty.ã
ãShe spoke softly and was very knowledgeable.ã
ãShe had fully mastered all the cultivation techniques taught by Master Geng.ã
ãLast month, she even advanced directly to the Foundation Establishment stage.ã
ãThis made Master Geng feel very gratified.ã
ãOn the contrary, Ye Yu seemed somewhat ordinary.ã
ãHe was still lingering in the early stage of the Qi Refining realm.ã
ãYet he was not discouraged.ã
ãWith his talent in hand, there was no need to rush.ã
ãAs long as he found something he could invest in, he would surely soar to great heights.ã
ãAt 19, Ye Yu pestered Master Geng to give him some spirit stones.ã
ãMaster Geng reluctantly took out three spirit stones.ã
ãAfter handing them to Ye Yu, he didnât forget to patiently advise him:ã
ãItâs best to use them when you reach a bottleneck in your cultivation. After all, these things are not easy to come by.ã
ãIndeed, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, three low-grade spirit stones might be all he possessed.ã
ãYe Yu earnestly promised that he would use them cautiously.ã
ãYet he immediately turned around to find Su Yao and handed the three spirit stones to her.ã
ãInitially, Su Yao firmly refused, saying she couldnât possibly accept them. These are what Master entrusted to you; how can I take them?ã@@novelbin@@
ãYe Yu became anxious on the spot.ã
ãIf you donât take it, how can I get more spirit stones?ã
ãWoman, let me remind you not to be oblivious to the situation and block my cultivation!ã
ãOf course, these were words that Ye Yu could never say out loud.ã
ãBesides trying to persuade her in every possible way, there was really no other good method.ã
ãIn the end, Su Yao accepted the three spirit stones.ã
ãShe promised that when she went down the mountain in the future, she would earn more spirit stones and return them to Ye Yu.ã
ãYe Yu didnât mind this at all.ã
ãInvestment completed, cashback eightyfold.ã
ãThis number made Ye Yu overjoyed.ã
ãIt also proved that the cashback multiple was not fixed.ã
ãTsk tsk tsk, this is truly a fortune.ã
ãTwo hundred and forty low-grade spirit stones. Do you wish to manifest them now?ã
ãYe Yu decisively chose no!ã
ãSo many spirit stones were definitely a huge fortune for the entire Lotus Sect.ã
ãBut at the moment, Ye Yu didnât have a storage ring.ã
ãOnce two hundred and forty spirit stones manifested, it would certainly arouse Su Yaoâs suspicion.ã
ãSo Ye Yu immediately went down the mountain and wandered around casually.ã
ãHe then took Master Gengâs bedsheet and wrapped up the two hundred and forty spirit stones.ã
ãThen he dragged them back up the mountain.ã
ãTo be honest, they were really heavy.ã
ãYe Yu was thoroughly exhausted.ã
ãHe also successfully tore Master Gengâs bedsheet.ã
ãWhen Master Geng and Su Yao saw so many spirit stones, their eyes went wide.ã
ãThey asked where they came from.ã
ãYe Yu calmly told them, I picked them up at the foot of the mountain.ã
ãDonât think itâs unreasonable; maybe I am the child of fortune.ã
ãSu Yao was amused by this statement.ã
ãBut Master Geng frowned deeply.ã
ãAn innocent man may not be guilty, but possessing a gem brings trouble!ã
ãHe understood this principle very well.ã
ãSo he wanted Ye Yu to put them back where he found them, to avoid attracting attention from others.ã
ãYe Yu suddenly had a black line on his forehead.ã
ãOld man, people like you are destined not to get rich.ã
ãIâve already carried so many spirit stones back; what are you afraid of?ã
ãIf you donât dare to use them, then donât speak.ã
ãDonât block my path to investment!ã
