Hearing this, Li Yifu immediately motioned for the accompanying crew members to leave first without hesitation. Even Yang Wanxin, who was boarding the plane with him, was asked to leave temporarily by Li Yifu without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Ling Qingxue also stood up after Yang Wanxin and the crew members got off the plane.
Xia Ruofei took Ling Qingxue's hand and asked, "Qingxue, where are you going?"
Ling Qingxue asked, "Didn't you want to talk to … Yifu alone?"
Ling Qingxue felt a little unnatural to call an old man in his eighties by his name.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Silly girl! I want those unrelated people to leave. Why are you leaving? Do I need to talk to Yifu behind your back? "
Ling Qingxue chuckled and said, "Who knows? What if it's a secret of your sect? "
However, although she said this, she was naturally very happy that Xia Ruofei asked her to stay, so she sat back in her seat.
Li Yifu then asked respectfully, "Master's Uncle, what can I do for you?"
Xia Ruofei sighed softly and said, "Yifu, I'll accept your gift …"
Hearing this, Li Yifu suddenly showed an overjoyed expression.
Xia Ruofei didn't wait for him to speak. He waved his hand and said, "Listen to me … I'll accept this plane, but I also prepared a small gift for you …"
Hearing this, Li Yifu quickly said, "Master's Uncle, you have already given me a very precious gift in Australia. I don't deserve it. I dare not accept another gift from Master's Uncle!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I didn't say what I was going to give you. How do you know it's a 'gift'?"
Li Yifu smiled a little awkwardly, but he didn't answer Xia Ruofei's words.
Although he was respectful in front of Xia Ruofei and always put himself in the position of a junior, he was an old man in his eighties with a rich life experience. How could he not see Xia Ruofei's intention?
Therefore, Li Yifu knew that Master's Uncle felt that his gift of a plane was too precious, so he wanted to give a gift in return.
As for Martial Granduncle's gift, it was most likely related to the Cultivation Society. Moreover, it could be used as a return gift for a top-grade business jet. The value of this gift naturally wouldn't be low.
Therefore, before Xia Ruofei could finish speaking, Li Yifu hurriedly declined.
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "You haven't seen my gift yet! Don't be so hasty to refuse. "
After that, Xia Ruofei took out a diamond-shaped crystal from her pocket and handed it to Li Yifu with a smile.
When Ling Qingxue saw it, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh? Ruofei, isn't this the thing you were holding in your hand when we were cultivating? "
"Master's Uncle, this is …" Li Yifu looked at the "diamond-shaped crystal" in Xia Ruofei's hand and was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes suddenly widened and he cried out, "Spirit crystal! It's actually a spirit crystal! "
When Xia Ruofei saw that Li Yifu could recognize the spirit crystal, he didn't need to waste his breath anymore. He smiled and asked, "Yifu, this gift, do you still want to refuse?"
Xia Ruofei knew too well how important spirit energy was to a cultivator in the current cultivation environment on Earth. Last time in Australia, he only gave Li Yifu a Spirit Gathering Jade Carving on behalf of Tang Haoran, and Li Yifu almost cried tears of joy.
That Spirit Gathering Jade Carving could indeed speed up Li Yifu's cultivation, but with Li Yifu's current cultivation, the spirit energy he gathered was obviously not enough to meet his cultivation needs.
Spirit crystals were different. Every spirit crystal contained a huge amount of spirit energy. For a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, it was simply an inexhaustible guarantee. With such a huge temptation, Xia Ruofei felt that even if he were in Li Yifu's position, it would be extremely difficult to refuse.
In fact, with Xia Ruofei's understanding of Li Yifu and his consistent performance, he had already accepted this junior of the sect in his heart. Giving away a spirit crystal was not just because he felt that it was inappropriate to accept such a big gift like a private business jet for no reason.
Perhaps Xia Ruofei didn't dare to rashly give the original "Gui Yuan Sutra" to Li Yifu, but for a consumable item like a spirit crystal, as a senior of the sect, it was not a big deal to reward a junior.
After all, Li Yifu was already so old. If he wanted to make progress in his cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to cultivate step by step. He would still need to rely on some external help.
What Xia Ruofei didn't expect was that in the face of such a temptation, Li Yifu almost didn't hesitate at all. His previous stupor was only because he didn't dare to believe that Xia Ruofei had taken out the legendary and incomparably precious spirit crystal. His mind went blank for a moment.
Li Yifu directly said, "Martial Granduncle, such a precious cultivation resource, how can this disciple deserve it? I absolutely don't dare to accept it. Martial Granduncle, please take back your order! "
Li Yifu's answer was very firm. Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He asked, "Yifu, since you recognized that this is a spirit crystal, you should know what it means to you, right?"
Li Yifu nodded and said, "This disciple knows! With a spirit crystal, at least before I reach the Zhuji phase, this disciple doesn't need to worry about the problem of spiritual Qi. My cultivation speed will more than double. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "You're already so old now. If you have a spirit crystal, you'll have a chance to reach the Zhuji phase in your lifetime. If you don't, with all due respect, even if you find the original copy of the Guiyuan Sutra, your chances are slim. Have you really thought it through and decided not to accept this gift? "
Li Yifu said firmly, "I won't accept a reward if it's not deserved. Martial Granduncle, please forgive this disciple for being so bold as to refuse such a generous gift!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, he really looked at Li Yifu in a new light.
If it were him, he might not have the courage to refuse.
It must be known that all of this was decided by Xia Ruofei's whims. If she were to put on a show at the beginning, it would be fine. However, if she were to firmly reject him at the end, then it was very possible that Xia Ruofei would really take back this gift and never give it to him again in the future.
After all, Li Yifu didn't know that although the spirit crystal was relatively precious to Xia Ruofei, there were still dozens of spirit crystals left.
After laughing, Xia Ruofei stuffed the Spiritual Crystal into Li Yifu's hand and said, "Yifu, you traveled thousands of miles without even saying a word and brought a plane over. You even had the painting done. It's like I have to accept it no matter what. You came to me to give you a small gift and you made all sorts of excuses. Is my words so useless?"
Li Yifu's hand trembled slightly as if he was holding a hot potato. He subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but he didn't dare to. Even though he knew that the spirit crystal was a precious cultivation resource and that it was impossible to break it, and there was a thick carpet in the cabin, he didn't dare to take the risk.
Xia Ruofei's words were even more heart-wrenching. His face turned pale and he almost knelt down on the spot.
Li Yifu hurriedly said, "Martial Granduncle, I didn't mean that!"
Ling Qingxue couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't know that the spirit crystal was so precious. She just couldn't bear to see Li Yifu's anxious look.
Ling Qingxue said, "Well … Yifu, since Ruofei gave it to you, just take it! You gave him a brand new plane. It's nothing for him to give you a gift in return! "
Li Yifu hurriedly said, "Martial Granduncle, you don't know that the spirit crystal is a priceless treasure. Its value can't be measured by ordinary money, let alone a plane."
Ling Qingxue still hadn't changed her mindset. After all, she hadn't been cultivating for long and was still used to measuring the value of things in terms of money. She didn't know that the spirit crystal couldn't be measured by money at all. It couldn't be bought with money.
Even if it could be converted into money, for example, if Xia Ruofei publicly sold the spirit crystal, any cultivator would be ecstatic and wouldn't care how much money they had to spend. After all, ordinary money didn't mean much to them. From this point of view, the spirit crystal was much more precious than a private plane.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Li Yifu and said lightly, "Yifu, it's not good for you to refuse the reward from the elders in the sect. Since Qingxue has spoken, this spirit crystal is my gift to you on behalf of Qingxue! I won't let you call her Martial Granduncle for nothing! "
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue's pretty face turned slightly red and her heart was filled with sweetness.
Li Yifu opened his mouth and wanted to refuse again, but Xia Ruofei said decisively, "It's settled then! Otherwise … you can ask someone to fly this plane back to the United States! "
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei added, "If you still want me to help you find the original copy of the Guiyuan Sutra, take this spirit crystal!"
To Li Yifu, this was a great weapon.
When it came to the original copy of the Guiyuan Sutra, no matter how scared Li Yifu was, he didn't dare to refuse Xia Ruofei's spirit crystal. This was the long-cherished wish of several generations of people! Now that he had finally met the personal disciple of his grandmaster, Immortal Mountain River, it could be said that he had seen a glimmer of hope. If Xia Ruofei were to quit, then there would be no hope at all.
Li Yifu struggled for a long time and finally said with tears in his eyes, "Martial Granduncle, then I will shamelessly accept it …"
Xia Ruofei said with relief, "That's right! After you have the spirit crystal, remember to cultivate diligently. If your strength increases, it will also be a kind of help to me! "
Li Yifu hurriedly said seriously, "Martial Granduncle, please don't worry! If you have any orders, I will definitely go through water and tread on fire without any hesitation! "
After that, Li Yifu carefully put the spirit crystal into his arms. At this time, he was overwhelmed with emotions and couldn't wait to sit down and cultivate. In the past, even if he had the Spirit Gathering Jade Carving, he had to calculate the time of cultivation with his fingers. But with the spirit crystal, he could cultivate anytime and anywhere, as long as he controlled the speed. That kind of feeling was simply too refreshing!
However, although Li Yifu reluctantly accepted the spirit crystal under Xia Ruofei's "coercion", he felt even more sorry in his heart. Originally, as a junior of the sect, he should be more filial to Xia Ruofei. But ever since he recognized Xia Ruofei, it had always been Xia Ruofei who helped him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yifu raised his head and said, "Martial Granduncle, I haven't made any contributions, but I have accepted such a precious gift from you. I really feel guilty … How about … I transfer my shares in the Jiuzhou Group to your name! It can be considered a little filial piety from me … "
Ling Qingxue couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this. The Jiuzhou Group in the United States was a large group in the world, and its net assets were in the tens of billions of US dollars. Li Yifu was the actual helmsman of this group, so his shares in the group naturally wouldn't be too small. Just one or two shares of the group were worth hundreds of millions of US dollars! Not to mention all the shares?
Just because of a spirit crystal, Li Yifu was willing to give away tens of billions of US dollars without even blinking his eyes? From Li Yifu's eyes, Ling Qingxue could see that there was no false expression at all. It was completely sincere from the heart.
Ling Qingxue finally had a very intuitive understanding. It turned out that the small "diamond-shaped crystal" that Xia Ruofei had taken out for her to cultivate in the past two days was actually so expensive …
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Yifu, are you having a fever? The Jiuzhou Group is a listed company, and you are a major shareholder of the Jiuzhou Group. If the shares were transferred to my name, the group would definitely make an announcement. Aren't you afraid that the stock price would crash? Most importantly, what do I need so much money for? "
Li Yifu was stunned for a moment, but he also reacted and said with a wry smile, "You're right, Senior Uncle … Worldly money is meaningless to Senior Uncle …"
When Ling Qingxue heard this, she thought that this was a bit too pretentious! Ruofei's own company was valued at two billion at most, which was less than a fraction of the Jiuzhou Group's value. How could worldly money be meaningless to Ruofei?
Li Yifu continued, "I know that Senior Uncle started the company just to gain experience in the mortal world, to hone your state of mind, and to lay the foundation for your future Foundation Establishment. It was this disciple who was rude and almost ruined Martial Granduncle's cultivation plan … "
When Ling Qingxue heard this, she was even more dumbfounded. There's actually such an explanation? Invisible pretentiousness is the most fatal!
Xia Ruofei also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't care much about the amount of money, but starting the Taoyuan Company was definitely not for "gaining experience in the mortal world". At the beginning, it was to make money, and later, it became more of a pleasure. In addition, there were so many employees in the company, and the development of the company was not only related to his wealth, but also related to the jobs of hundreds of people.
Moreover, he had made up his mind from the beginning to let a team of professional managers take care of the company, so he didn't need to spend too much energy on it.
But all of this had nothing to do with him treating money like dirt.
Of course, he was also happy that Li Yifu misunderstood. Otherwise, once Li Yifu got angry, he might really pester him to transfer all the shares to him.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei showed a "mysterious" smile and said, "In the future, don't mention things like transferring shares …"
