Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems

The sermon lasted for a whole half day.

During this time, Tang Tian felt that his soul had been sublimated, and he had a clear understanding of cultivation for the first time.

Although he had a dual system and took a shortcut that others couldn't imagine.

But this kind of understanding is also very precious.

After a long conversation, Tang Tian already had a vague idea about his future cultivation path.

"Who taught you all these things?"

Tang Tian asked.

Gu Xiaoxue smiled shyly, "Elder Uncle taught me some of it, and the rest I comprehended on my own."

Tang Tian was amazed in his heart.

This kind of talent can no longer be described as gifted.

She is like a favored child of heaven and earth, possessing a soul blessed by the heavens.

Thinking of this, Tang Tian became even more puzzled. Why would such an outstanding and pure genius be casually assigned as his bodyguard?

She even worried about the Spirit Jade.

"How is your life in the sect...?"

Tang Tian couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xiaoxue replied, "It's pretty good."

"After Elder Uncle brought me back to the sect, I have been living on the main peak. Those senior sisters and senior brothers have been taking good care of me."

"Later, when Elder Uncle went into seclusion to cultivate, he arranged for me to find a cave mansion. I don't go out much on weekdays and mostly focus on cultivation."

"I'm about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but I can't afford the Nascent Soul Pill. So, on the recommendation of my senior sister, I found Elder Zhongyang and chose to become a bodyguard."

"And then... I met you."

It sounds like there's nothing wrong.

But Tang Tian always felt that there was something fishy about it.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps, he was overthinking.

Looking up at the sky, the sun had already set behind the mountains, and half of the sky was illuminated in red.

It was beautiful.

"It's almost time for dinner."

Tang Tian rubbed his chin. "I don't think I ate yesterday."

"It's been two days, but I don't feel hungry at all."

Gu Xiaoxue laughed, "We cultivators naturally don't feel hungry."

"We don't need to eat."

Tang Tian shook his head. "Then what's the point?"

"Eating is one of the most wonderful things in life. It's boring to give it up."

He stood up. "Luckily, there are pots and pans here."

"Let's go, I'll make us a dinner."

Then, he led Gu Xiaoxue to the kitchen.

Although it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, it was still very clean, almost spotless.

This was thanks to the blessing of natural aura.

Fortunately, there was no need for a special cleaning.

"Let me see what I can make."

Tang Tian probed his divine soul into the Universe Ring and started searching inside.

During his visit to the Golden Jade Hall yesterday, he bought a large amount of ordinary resources, including spiritual rice, some edible spiritual herbs, and monster meat.

These things were similar to ordinary ingredients and could be cooked with simple methods.

Of course, he didn't know how to cook complicated dishes.

"I'll make some porridge, stir-fried spicy shredded potatoes, stir-fried green peppers with meat, and a cold dish of blanched cabbage. How does that sound?"

Tang Tian quickly decided on tonight's menu.

Gu Xiaoxue giggled, "It sounds like home-cooked dishes."

Tang Tian pursed his lips. "Home-cooked dishes are warm."

He would never admit that his cooking skills were not good.

Soon, the ingredients were prepared, and a fire was lit under the earthen stove.

"Don't you need spiritual fire?"

Gu Xiaoxue asked.

"Rice cooked over firewood is more fragrant."

Tang Tian insisted on his own opinion.

Soon after, Gu Xiaoxue squatted on the ground to start a fire, while Tang Tian was preparing today's ingredients.

If this scene were to be seen by other cultivators, they would definitely exclaim in amazement.

Which cultivator still cooks like this at home?

But Tang Tian was quite happy about it. The sound of sizzling from the oil pan was extremely pleasant to the ears.

However, after a plate of dark potato shreds came out of the pot, the positions of Tang Tian and Gu Xiaoxue changed.

Tang Tian tended to the fire, while Gu Xiaoxue stir-fried the dishes.

In no time, three home-cooked dishes were ready.

The two sat around the stone table next to the ancient well, feeling a sense of comfort and warmth.

"Your cooking skills are pretty good."

Tang Tian tasted the side dishes and couldn't help but praise.

Perhaps due to the difference in ingredients, the taste was several levels better than what he had made in his previous life.

"It's nothing."

Gu Xiaoxue smiled and said, "It's just cooking it thoroughly. I used to do this at home when I was young."

As she spoke, a hint of reminiscence appeared in her eyes. "Back then, when my parents went out to work, I was responsible for doing laundry, cooking, feeding the chickens and ducks, and cleaning the house."

"My younger brother was mischievous, often breaking things, so I would clean up after him."

"When I couldn't clean up, when my parents came back, I would say that I broke it myself, so he wouldn't get scolded."

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and sometimes I really miss those days."

Tang Tian was speechless. "What's there to miss about that kind of life?"

Gu Xiaoxue took a bite of the dish. "No matter what, that was my home."

"I liked holding my little brother and sitting on top of the chicken coop to watch the sunset."

"The golden sunlight shining on us, warm and cozy, it felt really comfortable."

"But because it was so comfortable, I forgot about the time several times and ended up getting a good beating from my parents, hehe."

Tang Tian paused and didn't say anything.

Everyone's living environment is different, and he couldn't draw conclusions about Gu Xiaoxue's life based on his own understanding. That would be a very narrow-minded behavior.

Now he understood why Gu Xiaoxue was so sensible and took the initiative to do housework, cook, and tend to the fire.

It was a habit developed since childhood.

"Then... why did you choose to leave home and come to Qingyue Gate?"

Tang Tian asked.

Gu Xiaoxue felt a little embarrassed and said, "It wasn't my own choice."

"That day, I met Elder Uncle, and he said I was suitable for cultivation. Then I discussed it with my parents for a while."

"In the end, my parents accepted a bottle of Disaster Relief Pill and let me leave with Elder Uncle."

Tang Tian's heart skipped a beat.

Disaster Relief Pill, it wasn't even considered a first-grade low-quality pill, it was only effective for mortals and could alleviate illnesses.

It wasn't even worth half a piece of spiritual jade.

With just this little thing, they sold their daughter.

It's really...

"Were you... sad at that time?"

Tang Tian asked softly.

Gu Xiaoxue thought for a moment, then smiled, "Anyway, my parents were very happy."

"If they were happy, then I'm happy too."

After saying that, she took several more bites of the dish and ate it with the porridge.

Tang Tian didn't continue on this topic.

Every family has its own difficulties, and not everyone's childhood is as beautiful as imagined.

But everyone has the right to choose their own happiness.

In his opinion, Gu Xiaoxue's childhood life was not good, and she was even sold off by her parents with just a bottle of Disaster Relief Pill.

But Gu Xiaoxue didn't think so.

Or rather, she only kept the beautiful scenes in her memory.

Why destroy them?

This was her chosen happiness.
