"Uncle, are you thinking of selling us off?"
The children looked at the Golden Ancient Emperor with great interest.
"What kind of family would we have to be sold to in order to have endless source crystals?"
"I don't know, but they must be very rich."
"If they could sell me off with you, that would be great, then we wouldn't have to be separated."
"Yeah, yeah, Uncle, why don't you pack us all up and sell us off together?"
The children's eyes were full of hope. These little beggars, even if they wanted to sell themselves to wealthy families, no one would want them. In their eyes, being someone else's servant was better than being a beggar, at least they wouldn't go hungry. But unfortunately, the rich people in Mo Family Town didn't think much of them.
"You..." The Golden Ancient Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for them. He couldn't laugh, but if he were to say they were pitiful, they didn't seem to have lost hope in life. Even if they couldn't beg for food, they could still live optimistically. Now, even when talking about selling them off, they were genuinely laughing and discussing it, as if being sold would allow them to live a happy life.
Being sold was like a wish, a wish so small to the Golden Ancient Emperor that it couldn't be smaller, but for Ah Xiong and the others, it was the biggest dream they had so far.
The Golden Ancient Emperor said, "I want to take you as disciples. Follow me to cultivate in the future, and you will naturally have endless source crystals."
"..." The five children.
"Golden Uncle, are you trying to trick us? You were just laughing heartily with fifty taels of silver. Will we really have source crystals if we follow you?" Ah Xiong pointed to the money bag still in the Golden Ancient Emperor's hand.
Seeing this, the Golden Ancient Emperor wanted to throw the money bag away, but he was afraid of hurting the children's feelings, so he said, "There are some things you wouldn't understand even if I told you now."
"How can we understand if you don't tell us? Golden Uncle, you're so strange," said the little girl, A Wu.
"I..." The Golden Ancient Emperor was speechless. These little fellows, they haven't even become my disciples yet, and their words can already choke me to death. If they become my disciples, wouldn't they be like the rebellious disciple, always thinking about making me sing 'Conquer' every day? Am I destined to be better than the eldest in accepting rebellious disciples?
The Golden Ancient Emperor quickly shook his head, throwing away these distracting thoughts. Since words don't work, then I'll just show my true abilities.
With a wave of his hand, a pile of glittering crystals appeared on the ground. The heaven and earth spiritual energy in the courtyard instantly became dozens of times more concentrated than before. Ah Xiong and the others couldn't sense the heaven and earth spiritual energy, but they also felt that the air was much fresher than before, and even the weeds in the courtyard seemed to have straightened up a lot.
The children stared blankly at the unknown crystals on the ground. They had heard of source crystals, but they had never seen them before, so they didn't know what this thing was. They only felt that it was very shiny and bright. If it were made into a gem, it would definitely sell for a lot of money.
But the Golden Ancient Emperor determined that their performance was shock, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
"How is it?" The Golden Ancient Emperor said with a smile.
"Ah? How is what?" The children were confused.
"Become my disciples. This is high-grade source crystal, the lowest-grade thing that your teacher can offer," said the Golden Ancient Emperor.
Hearing this, Ah Xiong and the others looked at each other, then nodded gently.
"Plop!" X5
"Disciple Ah Xiong, greets Master!"
"Disciple Ah Gou, greets Master!"
"Disciple Ah San, greets Master!"
"Disciple Ah Si, greets Master!"
"Disciple A Wu, greets Master!"
Several childish and clear voices echoed in the small courtyard.
"Aren't you going to consider it? Aren't you afraid that I'm tricking you?" The Golden Ancient Emperor asked in surprise. He had already prepared to explain to these little rookies how terrifying he was in the mortal world, but he didn't expect them to kneel down and become his disciples. This was beyond his expectations.
"Hehe, Uncle, you have so many source crystals, of course we agree. Even if you trick us, we'll accept it. It's okay if you sell us off," A Wu said with a giggle, her eyes looking at the glittering things on the ground. She liked these glittering things very much before she knew they were source crystals, because she was a girl, and she was naturally unable to resist these glittering things. Now that she knew these were the legendary source crystals, she liked them even more. With source crystals, they could have big fish and big meat every day, and even go to Zixuan Pavilion, the most luxurious restaurant in town.
"Source crystals?"
The Golden Ancient Emperor almost collapsed when he heard A Wu's answer. Couldn't there be something else that would make you agree, such as my personal charm, my strength, my prestige, or even my handsome appearance? But source crystals, this vulgar thing, has become the key. Damn it, I, a dignified ancient emperor, have been compared to a few source crystals. If the eldest knew about this, wouldn't I be laughed to death?
But now that they have knelt down and performed the disciple ceremony, they are already master and disciples. Should I expel them from the school now? That would be too much.
Forget it, forget it, these are all children, especially A Wu, who is only seven years old. Children's words are without malice, sooner or later they will recognize how awesome their master is. By then, they will definitely be surprised.
"Since you are already my disciples, as a gift for becoming a disciple, I will promise you one thing," said the Golden Ancient Emperor.
"Anything is okay?"
Ah Xiong asked.
"Haha, even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them off for you. Tell me, what are your wishes?" The Golden Ancient Emperor said with high spirits. He especially expected them to propose some particularly difficult things, so that he would have a sense of accomplishment, and also let them feel the power of being a master. It was a win-win situation.
Speak up, even if you want to become the ruler of a country, it's fine.
"Then Master, can you take us to Zixuan Pavilion for a meal?"
A Wu said.
The others nodded repeatedly.
"Zixuan Pavilion, what is that?" The Golden Ancient Emperor asked in confusion. The only place he knew to eat was Zuixianju, after all, it was the eldest's industry, spread all over the universe, but what is this Zixuan Pavilion? The name sounds nice, comparable to Zuixianju.
"Mas...Master, you don't even know Zixuan Pavilion? That's the most luxurious restaurant in our Mo Family Town. It's full of delicacies from mountains and seas. I heard that the cheapest meal costs a hundred taels of silver. Your fifty taels is not enough," Ah Xiong pointed to the money bag in the Golden Ancient Emperor's hand and said.
"Hehe!" The Golden Ancient Emperor smiled, "So it's just a restaurant in a small town. Is this your wish? So simple? You must know that if you miss this time, it won't be so easy to ask your teacher to help you next time."
"Master, are you promising each of us a condition?" Ah Xiong asked.
The Golden Ancient Emperor was stunned, nodded, but had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, after Ah Xiong saw the Golden Ancient Emperor nod, he said, "Then I will use my wish, my wish is to have Master take us to Zixuan Pavilion for a good meal."
"You kid, you're really slippery."
The Golden Ancient Emperor smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he had lived for millions of years, but he was found a loophole in the language by a ten-year-old child. But this is also good, in the world of cultivators, only those who are smart can live long.
"Let's go!"
The Golden Ancient Emperor waved his hand and led his five disciples towards Mo Family Town.
The Golden Ancient Emperor felt that with these five treasures around him, his journey in the mortal world should not be boring.
