Using his Divine Thought, he counted out 3,736 Spirit Stones and piled them directly onto the table. "Mr. Qiu, please take back these extra Spirit Stones."
Qiu Qichen waved his hand. "Oh no, how could I possibly take a cut from Xiao? Absolutely not."
Xiao Chen shook his head. "No, that won't do. Accounts must be kept crystal clear and unambiguous."
"Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Qiu?"
Huh?
Qiu Qichen blinked, then stopped hesitating. "Alright, in that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
He put away the Spirit Stones and then discussed the matter of the Turtle Egg with Xiao Chen.
"I've already contacted the other two cultivators."
"If it's convenient for you, Xiao, how about we set out the day after Riding the Clouds on Rishan?"
Xiao Chen had no objection. "I'm ready anytime. If time is tight, we can even leave tomorrow."
Qiu Qichen's eyes lit up, but then they immediately dimmed. "It's not quite that urgent."
"In that case, it's settled."
