Chapter 156 Sprinkling Copper Coins
Chapter 156 Sprinkling Copper Coins
The excitement in Guo Lingli's heart surged like spring water. She seemed to have foreseen the sensation these magical copper coins would cause in the ancient coin trading market. They would shine like stars, attracting countless collectors to chase after them.
After a brief moment of excitement, she calmed down, looked at Mo Yan with eyes full of curiosity and desire, and asked curiously: "Have you heard of the Midas Touch?"
Mo Yan glanced at her lightly, with a playful smile on his face, "That kind of legendary magic is nothing more than people's fantasy of unlimited pursuit of wealth. Do you really believe in that kind of deceptive thing?"
When Guo Lingli heard this, she immediately became anxious, her face flushed red like a ripe apple, "What kind of hoax is this? That's a fairy trick, how can you say that?"
Seeing her like this, Mo Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and rubbed Guo Lingli's hair, as if he was comforting a kitten with its fur standing on end.
However, this action immediately caused Guo Lingli to strongly protest, "I'm already this old, you are not allowed to rub my head like you did when I was a child! I protest!"
Seeing this, Mo Yan smiled and withdrew his hand. He looked at Guo Lingli tenderly, with a bit of doting in his tone, "Okay, okay, you have grown up. But then again, we haven't had a chance to have a good talk since we separated seven years ago."
Hearing this, Guo Lingli immediately became shrewd. She blinked her eyes and said cunningly, "I'm telling you, after we get out of this time, I promise to chat with you for three days and three nights, but not now. I have to understand the secret of this copper coin secret realm first, and I don't want to waste time."
Mo Yan shook his head helplessly, "You little money-grubber, okay, tell me what you want to talk about now?"
Guo Lingli rubbed her hands together, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Of course, how did you take away the wealth from the copper coin secret realm!"
Mo Yan looked at her in a daze, "Didn't you take away some wealth just now?"
Guo Lingli smiled slyly, "What I want is seeds that can regenerate. Once the wealth is used up, it will be gone. I'm not stupid."
Mo Yan was amused by her answer, "Are you asking me to teach you how to rob myself?"
Guo Lingli retorted seriously: "How can this be considered robbery? I am just trying to learn how to help you manage this secret realm."
"Did I say I hired you?" Mo Yan held back his laughter and said seriously.
"You didn't say you wouldn't hire me. You can just treat me as a laborer, right?" Guo Lingli continued to lobby.
Mo Yan looked at her self-righteous appearance and couldn't help laughing. "Why do I feel that in the past seven years since we last met, you have not only grown up, but also learned how to maximize your own interests?"
Guo Lingli raised her eyebrows proudly, "You are wrong. I have learned to cling to the golden thigh. Think about it, guarding a secret realm like you, and I am still working hard to think about what wealth to take and what treasure to find. Isn't this asking for trouble? I will definitely follow the golden thigh. I will take whatever I am allowed to take, and I will not take anything if I am not allowed to take."
At the stone gate inside the Copper Coin Secret Realm, Mo Yan looked at Guo Lingli in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Why did he feel that Guo Lingli no longer looked like a lady from a noble family? In the past, she used to behave like a lady from a noble family, but now she showed a completely different side to herself.
What had she learned in these seven years? How much of women's labor, women's needlework, women's words and women's virtues was left?
His eyes flickered as he looked at the little girl in front of him who had changed into men's clothes. He shook his head regretfully, "Lingli, but I don't want to hold on to any golden thighs for you."
Guo Lingli raised her eyebrows slightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She raised her chin and said confidently: "Mo Yan, you misunderstood. I don't want to take your things for free. I am willing to use my own labor in exchange for your knowledge."
After hearing this, Mo Yan couldn't help but tap Guo Lingli's little head again, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"How can you exchange your labor for my services? You are clearly trying to steal my skills, secretly take away the wealth of my secret realm, and then learn my technique of cultivating wealth grass. You are really ambitious, girl."
Guo Lingli chuckled and rubbed the place where she was hit nonchalantly. She blinked and approached Mo Yan and said mysteriously: "Mo Yan, do you know? When I was in Guojiazhuang, I often heard people talking about the Xiancai Sect.
I guess you must be a disciple of Xiancai Sect, right? If I can learn some of Xiancai Sect’s magic, I will definitely be able to scare a lot of people when I walk around outside.”
"Xiancaimen? Actually, it should be called Lingcaimen. For ordinary people, some spells may be called Xianshu, but in fact, Lingcaimen's spells are far from reaching the level of Xian, and can only be regarded as spiritual spells."
Mo Yan gave her some scientific knowledge and corrected her statement.
Guo Lingli waved her hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if it's a fairy or a spirit, as long as it works. Mo Yan, just one word, will you teach me or not?"
Mo Yan looked at her expectant eyes, but he was a little hesitant. He said seriously: "No! Lingli, you have a wrong mind, I can't teach you."
Guo Lingli became anxious when she heard this. She stamped her feet and asked, "Why am I thinking something wrong?"
Mo Yan looked at her deeply and said slowly: "Let me ask you, do you really understand the essence of the Midas Touch that you want to learn? Have you ever thought about what the problem is?"
Guo Lingli was a little stunned by the question, and she thought seriously. Isn't turning stone into gold just turning it into gold? She looked at Mo Yan puzzledly, waiting for his answer.
Seeing her confusion, Mo Yan patiently explained: "The essence of turning stone into gold is actually stone. It does not turn real stone into gold, but uses magic to transform certain elements in the stone into the form of gold.
But you have to know that stone is stone, no matter how you cultivate it, it can never become real gold. "
Guo Lingli widened her eyes and looked at Mo Yan in disbelief.
She pouted and retorted unwillingly: "But, from a chemical point of view, as long as the stone contains elements that can synthesize gold, then it is possible for it to turn into gold."
"You are right, but that is chemistry. We are talking about magic. In the world of magic, everything must obey the laws of nature. Stone is stone, it can never turn into gold. If you really want to learn, you might as well learn this trick - scatter copper coins everywhere."
As he spoke, Mo Yan picked up the copper coin grass that had not yet completely turned into water from Guo Lingli's hand and gently threw it into the sky. The copper coin grass turned into countless copper coins in the air, falling down one after another. When it landed on the ground, it had already turned into complete copper coins.
Guo Lingli was stunned. She exclaimed: "This... This is really amazing!"
Mo Yan smiled slightly, looked at her and said: "This is the real magic. It can make you get what you want when you need it. But remember, everything must follow the laws of nature."
