Although the Cave Master did not reprimand them, the two girls felt a little wronged and felt that it really wasn't their doing. The two of them usually didn't touch money, so they couldn't figure out why their money would appear here.
Was it Charcoal's doing? The two of them quietly glanced at the fellow who was lying at the entrance of the cave, swinging his snake tail and taking a nap. That fellow was the most dishonest.
The little ones were still crouching on the ground and gnawing.
Xue Er asked worriedly, "Cave Master, will they get a stomachache?"
Her worry was not without reason. Since it was their money that was left here, if the little ones got sick from eating it, the Cave Master would probably blame them.
Miao Yi thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible. These crystal coins were actually hard ores that contained essence powder. It would be a wonder if they didn't get a stomachache from eating stones and essence powder. He quickly waved his sleeves and invoked his arts, sweeping the little ones to the side and collecting the Gold Crystals on the ground.
Who would have thought that this would be like poking a hornet's nest. The little ones flew into the cave and circled around his head, constantly expressing their desire to eat.
Miao Yi had no choice but to ask the two girls to cut a piece of fresh meat for them. Who knew that they wouldn't even bother to touch it, and insisted on eating the crystal coins from Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was at his wits' end. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace.
In the end, he had no choice but to surrender. He threw out the handful of damaged crystal coins he had collected earlier and let them eat it. He even snorted coldly. "Don't blame me if something goes wrong when they eat it!"
After eating for three whole days, the little fellows finally finished eating the dozen or so Gold Crystals. Their hard stomachs finally stopped.
A Gold Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand White Crystals. In other words, more than a hundred thousand White Crystals were gone just like that.
Money was a small matter. Currently, Miao Yi did not lack this bit of money. He was mainly worried about their stomachs getting sick, so he came out every day to check on them. In the end, he discovered that their stomachs were slowly deflating. It seemed like they could digest the food and could even eat other kinds of meat. He was relieved and didn't think too much of it.
Half a month later, a buzzing noise resounded above Miao Yi's head as he sat cross-legged in meditation. The little ones were clamoring for crystal coins again.
Miao Yi leapt off the stone bed and raged, "You've eaten more than a hundred thousand in just a few days, and you still want more? I think your problem has come out, it's gone! "
Most importantly, it was useless even if you said you didn't have any. The little guys' IQ couldn't be compared to that of humans. They just kept crying and yelling, wanting to eat.
Miao Yi couldn't take it anymore. He was at his wit's end, and most importantly, he couldn't reason with these demons. He had no choice but to scatter a handful of Gold Crystals, and only then did the entire world calm down.
However, the peace was only temporary. After another half a month, the little guys came to make trouble again.
"Are you kidding me? Are you done yet? If I let you guys continue eating like this, my entire East Arrival Cave will be eaten up by you lot. "
Although his words were exaggerated, his mood was understandable. He still wanted to save more money so that he could refine a magic weapon in the future.
But these little fellows don't know how to reason. No matter how great your reasoning is, it's still like playing the lute to a cow.
Miao Yi couldn't bear to part with the Gold Crystals, so he tried tossing out a handful of White Crystals.
Hey! It was effective. The little guys swarmed over, catching and nibbling on them. They were fine as long as it was Crystal Coins. They weren't picky about their food.
Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. This was more like it. If they only ate Gold Crystals, raising these little beasts would be a real pain. White Crystals were fine. A piece of Gold Crystal could be exchanged for ten thousand, and they could slowly eat it.
However, Miao Yi was a little puzzled as to why the little ones were interested in crystal coins. If they wanted to eat something harder, there were plenty of random rocks outside. Why crystal coins?
It didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out. He finally managed to appease these little guys, and it wouldn't affect his cultivation. This was the most important thing.
Spring passed, and summer arrived. Autumn left, and winter came.
The sea waves surged, and the cold wind rustled. Another year passed.
Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone couch in his cave abode, slowly opened his eyes and spat out the mid-grade Orb of Will in his mouth. This Orb of Will that had gathered the power of will from ten thousand people for a year had already become small.
At his current speed of refining Orbs of Will, he could refine twenty percent of it in five months. In other words, he could refine a low-grade Orb of Will in about two months.
After arriving on the island, he had already refined about forty percent of the mid-grade Orb of Will given to him by the Lady Boss. And before coming to the island, he had already refined nearly twenty percent. Altogether, he had refined sixty percent of this mid-grade Orb of Will.
Miao Yi silently examined his own art source. He estimated that once he refined the remaining forty percent, he would be able to break through to White Lotus Third Grade.
However, he wouldn't be able to continue refining this year. He had to come out of closed-door cultivation. The day of East Arrival Cave's collection of Orbs of Will had arrived, and he had to escort the Orbs of Will to Mount Calming Sea. As the Cave Master, he had to take charge.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were used to dressing plainly, dressed up in a dignified and pleasant manner. The two girls seemed to have matured quite a bit, and faintly had the charm of a woman.
Previously, they had received Miao Yi's notice to return to East Arrival Cave. The two of them had already packed their belongings, and followed behind Miao Yi as they walked out of the cave abode.
The little ones were indeed the descendants of the Hell Mantises. They seemed to especially like the cold winter weather. Once winter came, they immediately became active, wreaking havoc on the island, and flying around the forest.
Miao Yi closed his eyes for a while, then used his will to call the little ones back, and flashed his palm.
One by one, the little ones flew over, and silently disappeared into the storage ring.
"Eh!" Miao Yi suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as though he had discovered something. He reached out and grabbed one of the little ones to examine it.
The little one had grown quite a bit. Although it was still the color of flax, and looked no different from a normal mantis, upon closer inspection, one could see that the surface of the little one's body was actually faintly glowing with a layer of metallic luster.
Especially the feeling of it in his hand. When he used to pinch it, the little one's body felt a little soft, but now it had obviously become hard, like a stone sculpture. It was obvious that its ability to withstand blows was not just a little stronger than before.
Miao Yi revealed a pensive expression, and faintly understood why the little ones liked to eat crystal coins. He suspected that it had something to do with the essence powder within the crystal coins...
For a moment, he was unable to determine the true reason. With a flip of his palm, he stored all the little ones into his storage ring.
Arriving at the shelter, he removed the trees that were covering the ship. He went to the stern of the ship and kicked away the tree support that was supporting the ship. He walked to the bow of the ship, and with a slight invocation of his arts, the entire ship slid down from the rolling logs into the sea with a rumble.
Miao Yi led the two girls and swiftly landed on the ship. Although the cultivation of the two girls had yet to enter the grade, it was no longer a problem for them to jump a few meters. They were no longer the weak girls they used to be.
Charcoal seemed to know what it meant once the ship entered the sea, and that he would have to do the hard work of running in circles again. He paced back and forth on the shore, seemingly unwilling to board the ship.
