Chapter 83: The magical power of the civet cat (Please subscribe and support readers)

"Meow-"

The tabby cat's fat face was full of confusion.

He stretched out his furry cat paw and looked carefully at the crystal in his paw.

It is crystal clear and shining. Even from seven or eight steps away, one can feel the spiritual energy inside.

"Wow, the civet cat has become a fortune cat!" Qing Yi couldn't help but mutter softly. The appearance of the civet cat at this time was very similar to the movements of the fortune cat that are loved by merchants in modern society.

Tu Shigu's eyes widened with envy, "My goodness, brother, you are going to make a fortune. Sister Cat can actually absorb crystals from the void."

"Grandpa, isn't this the beautiful stone inlaid on your alchemy furnace?"

Niu Niu's clear voice made Qing Yi shiver.

He quickly turned his head to look at the alchemy furnace, and sure enough, the crystal stone embedded in the core rune formation disappeared without a trace. Judging from the shape and size of the imprint, it was exactly the crystal stone in the claws of the civet cat.

"Hua Ni, why did you take the crystal from Old Man Shi?" Qing Yi hurried forward and snatched the crystal from the civet cat's claws. Fortunately, the civet cat was still in a daze and did not resist.

"Don't be busy!"

Old Man Shi said thoughtfully, "Boy Yi, put this crystal stone five feet away and see if the civet cat can take it out of thin air!"

The civet cat was very cooperative in demonstrating its new abilities. It gently waved its claws at the crystal stone five feet away, and the crystal stone was in its claws in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? Hua Ni's ability is similar to Old Man Shi's ability to make a lot of fruits fly to him by waving his hand!" Qing Yi was very impressed with the new ability acquired by the civet cat. It could save a lot of physical labor.

"You are an unlearned boy, the civet cat has awakened the ability to capture objects from the void, and I am only controlling objects with my Qi, the two are completely different!"

Old Man Shi rolled his eyes at Qing Yi and continued to instruct, "Put it ten feet away and see how far the civet cat's magical power can go."

"Meow-"

The tabby cat failed in its first swing of its claws. It was unhappy and cried out angrily. It waved its fleshy claws again, and the crystal was grabbed out of thin air again.

However, when the crystal was placed ten feet away, no matter how the civet cat used its magical powers, it could not get what it wanted. It seems that the civet cat's magical powers can only take in objects within ten feet.

“Phew—it’s okay!”

Old Man Shi's expression actually relaxed. "I was worried that this fat guy would steal everything in my house, but now it seems that he can't do anything beyond ten feet, so my house is still safe for now."

"puff--"

Qing Yi laughed inadvertently, "Old Man Shi, you are still worried that Hua Ni will come to steal your treasure. It is just a seventh-grade exotic beast, how could it have the courage to do that?"

"People say dogs are extremely courageous, but in fact cats are much braver than dogs!" Old Man Shi said unhappily, "Otherwise, why do they say curiosity kills the cat?

Even ordinary cats are very curious and can learn to steal if trained by someone. If an exotic cat wants to steal something, not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to guard against it, even the homes of nobles and officials can be robbed.

I can tell you, little Yi, this magical power of the civet cat will become even stronger in the future, and it is very suitable for stealing things, so you must keep an eye on it."

It turned out that this was what Old Man Shi was worried about. Qing Yi put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Don't worry, old man. Even if I die of poverty or starvation, I will never allow any theft to happen." "If you can do that, I will be relieved!" Old Man Shi was about to relax, but he suddenly remembered something and pointed at the little fox and said,

“Oh, and this little thing, as a shadow fox, is a fifth-grade exotic beast when it grows up. Now that I’ve given it the opportunity, it will become an eighth-grade exotic beast in three months.

After it grows up, its magic will surely be even more amazing. You should not let it transform into beautiful women everywhere to confuse people. The shadow fox in Jiming Lake likes to transform into beautiful women to confuse people the most. "

"Don't worry, don't worry. I will definitely educate them both to walk the right path." Qing Yi felt like his neck was about to break from nodding his head. The magical powers of the animals in his home were more bizarre than the other.

The tabby cat's magical power is suitable for stealing things, the little fox's magical power is to transform into a beautiful woman to deceive people, and I wonder what magical power the big rooster at home has. I hope it can be more serious.

Niuniu, on the other hand, was very indignant and said, "Xiaobai and Huani are both so well behaved, they definitely wouldn't steal or lie, right?"

"Niuniu is right, of course it's not wrong!" Old Man Shi immediately coaxed his granddaughter with a smile on his face, and said to Yi, "Don't be in a hurry to leave at noon, have lunch with me, an old man, Dazhu will be here soon."

"Huh?" Qing Yi suddenly remembered Niuniu's big and strong cousin and asked, "Old Man Shi, don't Brother Dazhu and other family members live with you?"

"Why should I live with them? The noise at home is annoying every day. It's better for me, an old man, to live here alone in peace and quiet.

Dazhu and his friends usually live in the upper city, so Niuniu often stays with me for a few days. With this little darling around, maybe I’ll have a chance to break through the shackles of the first rank in this life.”

When Mr. Shi said this, he held Niuniu in his arms and pressed his hand against her forehead, saying amusingly, "Niuniu, is that right?"

Niuniu said in a baby voice: "Grandpa is a first-class grandmaster, he will definitely be able to break through."

After secretly eating most of the spiritual fruit on the side and listening for a long time, Master Tu Gu finally opened his eyes wide and asked in shock: "First-class Grandmaster? So you, Old Man Shi, are really the Old Man Shimen?"

"Haha, Qing Yi boy probably guessed it a long time ago, right?" Old Man Shi laughed while holding Niuniu, "I was born in a corporal family. When I was young, I was selected into the Royal Guards and was stationed outside the palace's stone gate all year round.

I didn’t expect that I would stay there for decades, and I didn’t retire until I was over 70 years old, so I got the name Shimen Sou, but my real surname is still Shi.”

Shimensou, as the name suggests, is the old man who guards the stone gate, which is also very appropriate to the surname Shi Laoweng.

As they were talking, Shi Dazhu came in, carrying two huge food boxes in his hands. It was obvious that he had known that Qing Yi, Gongsun Wu, Tun Shigu and others would be there, so he prepared so much food.

The dishes in the food box are rich and luxurious. It’s not that Old Man Shi lives an extravagant life, but that a first-class grandmaster has extremely high energy requirements for food, otherwise he will not be able to meet the needs of his body at all.

The meat must be from at least the sixth-grade exotic beasts and birds, and even the vegetables and fruits are cooked with seventh-grade spiritual herbs and fruits. When you open the food box, the aroma and spiritual energy fill the air.

However, Qing Yi and others did not have that ability, so there were foods specially prepared for them in the food boxes, and each person was given a portion according to the etiquette of the State of Xing.

Niu Niu competed with the little fox and the civet cat in eating. She ate with a slurping sound and her belly was full in a short while. No one strictly required her to observe etiquette.

Even though Tun Shigu came from a wealthy family, he ate voraciously. On the contrary, Gongsun Wu and Shi Dazhu ate in an elegant and aristocratic manner.

Qing Yi has always had a big appetite, and Shi Dazhu had obviously taken this into consideration, and specially provided him with eighth-grade meat from exotic beasts and ferocious birds. Only one pound of meat and a few spiritual fruits were needed to cook the dishes, and he would be full.

However, Old Man Shi obviously did not have a good appetite. He just drank a small bowl of fragrant soup, then waved his hand to indicate that he had finished eating and asked Shi Dazhu to clean up the food box.

This confirmed Qing Yi's guess, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Old Man Shi, were you also injured in the battle with the Ghost King in Jiming Lake that day?"
