The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

"Uncle-Master, making money is ultimately not as important as the great affairs of our Star Palace!"

Although Xingchen Daoist's heart was pounding, he still stubbornly said.

"Then let me tell you, you can exchange one hundred low-grade spirit stones for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for one million low-grade spirit stones, and one million low-grade spirit stones for... Would you do that?"

Qinghe Daoren said with a smirk.

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one million low-grade spirit stones? Good, good, Uncle-Master, please tell me quickly!"

The Star Daoist's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded vigorously.

"We can do it like this..."

Qinghe Daoren revealed Shen Rugo's plan.

"You can actually do that?"

The Starry Sky Daoist's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course!"

"Did that little guy teach you all of this?"

"It's that little guy, of course. No one else in the world could come up with such a miraculous method!"

"This method is good, but we're making money off our disciples, aren't we?"

"Star Daoist suddenly said."

"What's wrong with making money off them? Some of these disciples come from cultivation families and have plenty of spirit stones!"

Qinghe Daoren didn't care at all.

"That won't do. You can participate, but as the sect leader, I cannot!"

Master Xingchen shook his head in the end.

What a joke! If this gets out, he'll lose all face as the sect leader. This is blatantly sabotaging his own disciple.

"You really won't participate?"

"We really can't participate!"

"Alright, if you don't want to participate, you can lend me your spirit stones?"

"Shall I lend you some spirit stones?"

"Yes, lend me spirit stones!"

"Alright, but remember, Uncle-Master, once you make a profit, you have to pay me back double!"

Xingchen Daoren was moved once again.

"Double the amount back? You little rascal, you wish! I worked so hard to earn this money, and you expect me to double it just for lending you some initial capital? Do you think I'm a loan shark?"

"Then you can lend it or not, it's up to you!"

Daoist Xingchen remained calm.

He knew his uncle-in-law all too well; he was dirt poor. No matter how good the plan was, it was all for nothing without capital.

"Two percent interest!"

After a while, the Starry Sky Taoist held up two fingers.

"Impossible! The minimum interest rate is half!"

"one third!"

"half!"

"One-third, take it or leave it!"

Qinghe Daoren flicked his sleeves.

"Okay, one-third it is!"

Xingchen Daoist grinned and happily took out a bag.

He had just taken out the bag when Qinghe Daoist snatched it away. Upon opening it, he exclaimed, "When did you get so rich, you brat? There are actually a thousand top-grade spirit stones here!"

The top-grade spirit stones in this bag were the very ones that Daoist Xingchen had snatched from Chen Tianba.

"Uncle-Master, let me tell you, this is all my worldly possessions. You absolutely cannot lose it to me. You must return 1,333 top-grade spirit stones to me!"

Looking at the top-grade spirit stone that had fallen into the hands of Daoist Qinghe, Daoist Xingchen frowned.

He hadn't even had a chance to enjoy those thousand top-grade spirit stones yet.

"Alright, you brat, who am I to cheat you out of your money?"

The Taoist priest of Qinghe had a big smile on his face.

With these thousand top-grade spirit stones, he's going to make a fortune this time.

"You must keep this a secret, Uncle Qinghe. Only the two of us should know about it!"

"Absolutely! You have to make your fortune quietly. If our Ruge knew I suddenly had so many low-grade spirit stones, she'd be overjoyed!"

Qinghe Daoist's eyes narrowed even more as he smiled, looking at Xingchen Daoist like an old fox.

Suddenly, Xingchen Daoist's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that he had been tricked, tricked terribly. He reached out to snatch the money bag from Qinghe Daoist's hand.

"You brat, you want to back out?"

Qinghe Daoist instantly put the money bag into his storage ring. He wasn't about to let the money he'd already got slip away.

"That's not how it should be!"

Xingchen Daoist almost jumped up in anger.

"You brat, you only just realized it now? Hahaha, do you still hope I won't interfere with their match?"

If our Ruge loses, all those thousand top-grade spirit stones will be wasted.

"You brat, do you really want to sell this old man for your spirit stones?"

The Taoist priest of Qinghe laughed triumphantly.

Fortunately, they used spatial magic to separate themselves; otherwise, the entire outer sect would have been alerted.

"Uncle-Master Qinghe, their competition is a minor matter; the future of the Star Palace is of utmost importance!"

The Star Daoist had a bitter expression on his face.

He knew that once the money was in his uncle's hands, it was impossible to get it back.

However, if Qinghe Daoist is not allowed to intervene, and Shen Rugo really loses, then the thousand top-grade spirit stones will be gone, not to mention the one-third interest.

He only now realized that he had been tricked by his martial uncle.

"So, do you want me to get involved, or do you not want me to get involved?"

Qinghe Daoist looked at Xingchen Daoist with a smile.

This Star Daoist was someone he had watched grow up. Although he was now the head of the Star Palace, he was still like a child in front of him.

From childhood to adulthood, he had deceived Master Xingchen countless times.

"No matter what, Uncle Qinghe, please don't interfere in their competition this time! One thousand top-grade spirit stones, even if they lose, please don't interfere. Consider it my way of showing respect to you!"

Of course, if that child wins, we'll all be very happy!

The Star Daoist finally spoke in a deep voice.

"You stubborn brat. Fine, I'll listen to you."

However, I'll let you in on a secret: the kid I'm rooting for will absolutely not lose, even without anyone's help!

Master Qinghe nodded.

On such important matters, he still had to listen to Daoist Xingchen, otherwise it would be betraying the sect.

"Are you really confident? Or is that little guy already quite capable?"

Master Xingchen was overjoyed.

"Of course she's amazing! Let me tell you, that child has already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining. Moreover, she learned all thirty of our basic spells in just two or three hours!"

Suddenly, the Taoist priest of Qinghe proudly raised his chin and said as if presenting a treasure.

"Has he already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, and still needs two or three hours to learn thirty spells?"

The Star Daoist's eyes lit up.

Even his most prized disciple, Xiao Changkong, a cultivation genius, could not achieve these things.

"Would I, an old man, lie to you, you brat? That child is truly gifted, with a photographic memory, a born cultivation genius..."

Qinghe Daoist couldn't help but tell Shen Rugo about her learning magic in the library.

"This child is actually so smart?"

Xingchen Daoist's heart pounded as he listened. This was simply a genius in the cultivation world, a genius that was only seen once in all of history.

"So what are you still hesitating about, kid? No matter whether she can reach the third level of Qi Refining this time, you have to take her in!"

"I spoke with my cheeks puffed out," said the Taoist priest of Qinghe.

"I hope this little one is a lucky star for our Star Palace. But Uncle-Master, you must listen to me this time and don't help her. Let's see what surprises she can bring us in the March Grand Competition!"

At this moment, Daoist Xingchen didn't even mention the thousand top-grade spirit stones anymore.

"I know what you mean!"

This time, Master Qinghe nodded seriously.
