Chapter 19
Golden Crow True Yang
Yuan Kaixuan turned around and stared at Liu Yuan with his dark golden eyes. His expressionless face revealed a trace of vigilance.
Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. This old man had probably been angered by Xie Qian too much, and he was afraid that this was just another ploy to get him angier.
“I said, I can give you these paintings. Of course, only a part of them,” Liu Yuan repeated.
“Oh?” Hong Ling looked at Liu Yuan in surprise. “Really?”
She looked at Xie Qian again, and she stopped in her tracks. She hesitated and said, “This is Senior Xie’s gift to you, Fellow Daoist...”
“It’s mine now that he’s given it to me,” Liu Yuan said indifferently.
Yuan Kaixuan was obviously used to this. He stood there and said expressionlessly, “Xie Qian, what are you up to this time?”
Xie Qian sat behind the table, picked up his pen again, and focused on the paper. “I don’t play tricks.”
“...” The sound of Yuan Kaixuan’s teeth grinding was particularly loud.
Liu Yuan suspected that if Xie Qian had sat closer to him, Yuan Kaixuan would have bitten him to death.
How much enmity did these two have?
However, Liu Yuan guessed that even if there was no hatred between them, Xie Qian would still do stuff like this.
Only for Liu Yuan, who had the favorablity bar maxed out, student Liu, would get different treatment from Xie Qian.
Liu Yuan held a pile of scrolls and said helplessly, “So, do you guys want it or not? Otherwise, I’ll be going back. I’m in a hurry.”
Although Yuan Kaixuan still did not want to believe that Xie Qian was not up to something, this might be his only chance. He turned to look at Liu Yuan and gritted his teeth. “I want it!”
Liu Yuan chuckled and put the scroll back into his pocket.
Yuan Kaixuan had a ‘I knew it’ look on his face. He put his hands behind his back and sneered, “Tell me, what do you want?”

Hong Luan was at a loss. She looked left and right, somewhat at a loss.
“Originally, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you, but Senior Yuan, it was too much for you to attack me just now. However, I’m an upright person, and I’ll never take advantage of others when they’re down. So... Hand over the Golden Crow True Yang and the painting.”
“What do you think?” He looked at Yuan Kaixuan.
Yuan Kaixuan was silent for a while before he said slowly, “You really know how to do business.”
Nonsense, he was a player of this online game, okay?
He would take advantage of everything, you bastard. Everything he saw was his.
Although he did not know what the Golden Crow True Yang was, since he said that it was a treasure, then it must be a great deal. If he backed off, then he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Although you have a high cultivation strength, I, Liu Yuan, have also reached the Judgment stage in the game. Do you think I’m afraid of you?
“Do you want to trade?” Liu Yuan waved the painting again.
Besides, with Xie Qian here, I’m not afraid that you’ll regret it...
Yuan Kaixuan was expressionless. He reached out and turned his palm. A golden halo suddenly appeared, like a small sun emitting endless heat. The high temperature distorted the surroundings.
However, a circle of incantations and restrictions sealed it firmly, preventing the high temperature from destroying the surrounding things.
Liu Yuan squinted his eyes. The texture of the halo was between liquid and gas, and it breathed rhythmically. He could vaguely see a three-legged Golden Crow curled up in it, sometimes swimming with the flow of water or air.
If one had to describe it... It was like an embryo.
Golden Crow True Yang.
Liu Yuan seemed to have understood. Although the map of the Fusang sea had not been released yet, everyone knew about the legend.
The Fusang Tree was the place where the Golden Crows lived, and judging from Yuan Kaixuan’s appearance, the Fusang Tribe should be a race of dryads that were born from the Fusang Tree.
This ball of light was probably the embryo of the Golden Crow? Can it be raised?
Wasn’t this a pet?
I understand now!
Liu Yuan looked at the Golden Crow True Yang, indicating that he had completely understood it.
Yuan Kaixuan almost cursed out loud in his heart. The f*cking thing is not yours yet. This kid’s eyes looked as if he had already imagined the future.
When he saw this egg, he already thought about what brand of bird food he should buy.
Yuan Kaixuan’s face was gloomy. He handed over the halo in his hand and did not forget to look at Xie Qian. “Calligraphy and painting.”
Liu Yuan also looked at Xie Qian and said, “Senior, how many did they ask for?”
“Just one,” Xie Qian replied indifferently.
Liu Yuan threw a scroll to Hong Luan.
Although Yuan Kaixuan was unwilling and angry, he still sent the halo to Liu Yuan’s empty hands and flicked his sleeves, not wanting to look at it.
Liu Yuan looked at the Golden Crow True Yang in his hand and examined it curiously.
The chubby little Golden Crow was quite cute when it curled up.
He thought for a moment and threw another scroll over.
Yuan Hongli was a little confused, and Yuan Kaixuan’s eyes also showed surprise.
“This is my gift,” Liu Yuan smiled.
Yuan Kaixuan snorted coldly, but his voice was obviously much lower.
Yuan Hongli held the scroll carefully and looked at Liu Yuan. “Ut’s extremely difficult to hatch the Golden Crow True Yang... It’s usually used as a supplement to a fire-attribute cultivation technique or physique. I hope Fellow Daoist can treat it well.”
Even though he did not understand, Xie Qian was there to explain it to him, right?
“Definitely.” Liu Yuan nodded.
Yuan Kaixuan took the scroll and opened it. His beast eyes lit up and he closed his eyes. He heaved a sigh of relief, closed it, rolled it up, and left with a flick of his sleeves. He snorted coldly, “In this life, even if I die, even if I were to jump down from the Fusang Tree, I will never step foot here again!”
Yuan Hongling quickly followed him, and her words of persuasion could be heard faintly.
Soon, only the sound of the wind blowing the scroll painting and the lotus leaves could be heard in the hall.
Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched, and he shifted his gaze back from the distance. He looked at Xie Qian, then moved over to sit in front of the table with the scroll in his hands. He placed the scroll on the ground and spun the Golden Crow True Yang around.
Xie Qian did not say anything and continued to write. He then nodded in satisfaction, blew on the paper, put down the pen, and looked up. “Little Friend, do you understand the use of my calligraphy?”
Liu Yuan recalled the exp scroll’s description and said, “Body and mind as one, the sea of consciousness is empty.”
“Indeed, my Young Friend is not simple,” Xie Qian praised.
I’ll feel embarrassed if you continue to brag like this.
“You’re too kind...” Liu Yuan laughed awkwardly.
“I still can’t forget the great kindness you’ve shown me in the past,” Xie Qian continued with a smile.
Although he did not understand why gifting him a bunch of unyellowed eggs and the strange-smelling fish would be considered ‘great kindness’, he was not complaining.
Liu Yuan was deep in thought as he pointed at the paintings. “So you did it on purpose?”
Sure enough, he was deliberately trying to make him uncomfortable...
Xie Qian nodded, his expression unchanged. “I dare not forget the enmity between Yuan Kaixuan and myself.”
“What enmity?” Liu Yuan could not help but ask.
“He actually eats sweet tofu pudding,” Xie Qian said.
Liu Yuan, “...”
Xie Qian added, “In the past, I studied with him in the Bai Shan Court. One morning, he changed my tofu pudding to something sweet.”
Liu Yuan, “...”
“If you want to hatch the Golden Crow True Yang, you must first find an extremely cold plac ...” Xie Qian said.
Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to change the topic?
Liu Yuan cursed in his heart, his eyes staring straight. This NPC was really petty and vengeful. Fortunately, he had filled up this NPC’s favorability bar.
