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

Chapter 33 Billion Per Month

A fierce spiritual storm formed a huge vortex of spiritual power, suspended above the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

In the center of the vortex, below, was Gu Xiaoxue's room.

A massive amount of spiritual power poured into the room, like a giant funnel.

Tang Tian stood in place, feeling the powerful surge of spiritual energy.

The commotion also attracted the attention of the two sisters, Lan Yu and Lv Zhu. They looked at Gu Xiaoxue's hut, their faces filled with astonishment.

"So strong."

Lan Yu whispered.

"Stronger than us."

Lv Zhu echoed.

Tang Tian was intrigued and asked, "Wasn't it like this when you broke through?"

After a few days of understanding, Tang Tian had learned that these two sisters were both top-tier Nine Rings talents.

He wanted to know the difference between Nine Rings talents and the Innate Sons.

"No."

"Not even close."

The two sisters replied.

Tang Tian had gradually become accustomed to their way of speaking.

Listening to their answers, Tang Tian finally had a preliminary understanding of Gu Xiaoxue's talent.

It was definitely an extraordinary existence.

The vortex of spiritual energy lasted for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Suddenly, a strong wave of spiritual power erupted from Gu Xiaoxue's room, causing Tang Tian to involuntarily take two steps back.

But then, everything disappeared in an instant.

"She broke through!"

Tang Tian felt delighted and took a step forward, arriving at the door of Gu Xiaoxue's room.

Just at this moment, Gu Xiaoxue, who had just broken through, also ran out. Her face was flushed, filled with excitement.

"I did it!"

Seeing Tang Tian, she shouted loudly, unable to contain her joy.

Tang Tian also smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"So fast, I thought you would need at least a month of seclusion."

Gu Xiaoxue came to Tang Tian and said, "I don't know either."

"I just recently reached the peak of the Gold Core stage, but for some reason, the process of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage went very smoothly, without encountering any obstacles."

"And then... I broke through inexplicably."

Tang Tian couldn't help but fall silent. What a mysterious breakthrough. Is this the world of top talents?

"When you advanced before, was it like this?"

Tang Tian asked.

Gu Xiaoxue shook her head and said, "No, in the past, breakthroughs required a lot of effort."

"But this time, it was different. It was like everything fell into place naturally, without even using the Nascent Soul pill."

Tang Tian was astonished. Could it be that the higher the realm, the harder it is to break through?

Why did it reverse in her case?

Could it be the problem with the cultivation environment?

Tang Tian pondered for a while but couldn't find a suitable answer.

In the end, he could only attribute it to Gu Xiaoxue's talent.

When he successfully exchanged for the talent of the Innate Son himself, he would definitely be able to figure it out.

Shaking his head, Tang Tian pushed these thoughts out of his mind and congratulated again, "Congratulations on your further success."

"Now, the agreement between us as protectors has automatically been lifted. What are you going to do?"

Gu Xiaoxue smiled and said somewhat shyly, "Actually... while I was in seclusion, I thought about it carefully."

"The time I spent with you was the most relaxing days since I entered the sect."

"So I've decided..."

Gu Xiaoxue raised her head, but suddenly saw two other figures.

"Huh?"

"Who are they?"

Tang Tian turned his head and smiled, "Oh, they are our guests, just accepted a few days ago."

"Come, let me introduce you."

After saying that, Tang Tian brought Gu Xiaoxue to Lan Yu and Lv Zhu, and the group greeted each other warmly.

Although they were all core disciples of the Qingyue Sect, they had never met before, mainly because the Qingyue Sect was too big.

With tens of thousands of core disciples, it was impossible to know everyone.

Especially for someone like Gu Xiaoxue, who only knew about seclusion and cultivation, it was already good enough to recognize all her neighbors.

"You're amazing."

"Very amazing."

Lan Yu and Lv Zhu said.

Gu Xiaoxue looked at them, then lowered her head to look at herself, and whispered, "No, you are much more amazing than me."

Watching them exchange greetings, Tang Tian smiled and said, "From now on, we are all part of the same courtyard. We should take care of each other in our daily lives."

"Oh, by the way, what did you decide earlier?"

Gu Xiaoxue responded with an "oh."

"I mean..."

"I've decided to go and talk to Senior Sister now, to see if I should continue being a retainer."

Tang Tian smiled and said, "There's no need to rush."

"You just made a breakthrough, so wait until you've recovered before going."

Gu Xiaoxue shook her head and said, "I'd rather go now."

"You...wait for my message."

After saying that, Gu Xiaoxue bowed to Tang Tian and turned around, leaving the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

"Why the rush?"

Tang Tian felt somewhat puzzled.

Moreover, he could sense that Gu Xiaoxue's mood suddenly became somewhat down, and he didn't know why.

What's going on?

Shaking his head, Tang Tian sent the Lan Yu sisters back and sat down by the ancient well, waiting for Gu Xiaoxue's response.

It shouldn't take long.

However, just as he sat down, the formation outside the courtyard was activated, and a familiar figure quickly flew back.

"Forgot something?"

Tang Tian asked.

Gu Xiaoxue seemed to have returned to her previous state, and she said, "No."

"Well...while I was outside, I happened to run into Senior Sister, so we've already discussed it."

Tang Tian was taken aback.

Is it just a coincidence?

He looked at Gu Xiaoxue suspiciously. This girl wouldn't lie, there must be something fishy going on.

But he was more interested in the result.

"So, what happened?"

Tang Tian asked.

Gu Xiaoxue giggled and said, "Senior Sister said that I will definitely need more cultivation resources in the future, and relying solely on myself won't be enough."

"So, it's better for me to continue being a retainer."

Tang Tian smiled, "Right?"

"Your Senior Sister is very sensible."

"Come, have a seat. Let's discuss your compensation."

Gu Xiaoxue obediently sat down and looked around, asking, "Um...where is our retainer?"

When she spoke, she intentionally emphasized the word "our."

Tang Tian didn't notice this detail and said, "I sent them back to their rooms. They are in the room opposite yours."

"After all, they are retainers. I can't have them following me all the time."

Gu Xiaoxue nodded, propped her arms on the stone table, and supported her chin with her hands, revealing a silly smile on her face.

"Why are you smiling?"

Tang Tian glanced at her and then said, "Regarding your compensation, this is what I think."

"Normally, a Nascent Soul early-stage retainer would receive a monthly compensation of no more than ten million spirit jade."

"But you're only fifteen, and your situation is special, so I think it should be at least fifty million, right?"

"And your profound understanding of cultivation has provided me with great help, so that's another fifty million."

"At fifteen years old, achieving Nascent Soul, your future is very promising. You will definitely become an outstanding talent of the Qingyue Sect, so I think five billion should be reasonable."

"Plus, your talent will bring me great prestige if I showcase it, so your compensation will be set at one billion per month."

"How about it? Do you have anything to say?"

Gu Xiaoxue looked stunned.

"Well..."

"You seem to have said everything for me, right?"

"Ten billion is too exaggerated. I really don't think I have anything special. Just treat me as an ordinary retainer."

Tang Tian waved his hand, "No, the value should match the person!"

"Just ten billion!"

While speaking, Tang Tian had been observing the system's reaction.

But to his surprise, the system actually acknowledged this outrageous transaction. Does it also think that Gu Xiaoxue is worth this price?

Tang Tian's eyes flickered.

"One trillion..."
