The more you believe me, the more real it becomes.

Chapter 87 What do you want to exchange?
As soon as the sound was made, a mountain wind rose, and the trees swayed incessantly.

The Han family members around them all changed color and knelt down in worship towards the temple:

"The Mountain God has appeared!"

"It's a miracle! The gods have appeared!"

While they continued to worship, their eyes were all fixed on the white jade bodhi on the offering table, wondering to themselves: What treasure has this leopard found that has won the favor of the mountain god so much?

Inside the temple, the leopard was already kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Because it clearly saw the white jade bodhi fly into the air right in front of it, spinning continuously.

It was as if an unseen person was holding it in their palm and playing with it.

It's just a wild leopard from the mountains, where would it have ever seen anything like this?
Of course, he was so scared that he lay flat on the ground!
Meanwhile, in Qingzhou City, Du Yuan, who was also playing with the white jade bodhi, exclaimed "Eh!"

The white jade bodhi seed, which he had been handling until it was warm and pleasant, now felt slightly cold for some reason.

It is indeed a different kind of delightful feeling.

But why did it change?
The white jade bodhi that had been flying in mid-air in the temple eventually fell down.

It didn't fall back onto the offering table, but instead landed on the altar.

The leopard couldn't understand what was happening, but the Han family members around it watched with great envy.

It's truly a treasure; this leopard is incredibly lucky.

Not only did they find the treasure, they also knew how to give it to the right God!
Countless people in the world bring pig's head meat but never get to offer incense at the door!

Seeing that the leopard was still trembling, the voice continued to appear.

Unlike before, this time it wasn't limited to Du Yuan being the only one who could hear it.

But everyone present could hear it:

"You little kitten, you're quite thoughtful."

"So, what do you want to exchange this for?"

In this temple, a white jade bodhi seed is nothing, even if it has accumulated five hundred years of karmic connections.

But it is indeed a very thoughtful gift.

When giving gifts, the first gift is the sentiment, the second is the precious gift, the third is the unique gift, and the fourth is the reason.

The best gift is one that comes from the heart!
This was also the first time that the Han family had heard the Mountain God speak.

While feeling astonished, I also felt increasingly envious of the leopard.

If the Han family has such good fortune, what is there to worry about!

The earth leopard looked puzzled at the temple master's question; it understood, but not quite.

So he could only tilt his head to look at the statue.

This made the voice laugh even harder:

"It is indeed an interesting kitten. How about this, would you like a seat or a path?"

Hearing this, even Han Tang's heart was pounding.

The Han family had tried every possible means to obtain this predestined fate, but they got it so easily from this leopard!

The earth leopard tilted its head in increasing confusion.

"Aww—?!"

"Hehehe, what a silly little cat. Do you want to directly change your divine position, or a cultivation method?"

The white jade bodhi, which had already fallen, flew back into the air and spun around.

Then it changed from warm and pleasant to cool and pleasant.

The sound continued:
"With the former, you can reap the benefits without effort; with the latter, although you have to go through trials, you can achieve even greater success."

It's clear that this white jade bodhi seed has indeed won this person's favor.

So much so that he was willing to explain so much to a leopard.

But the Han family members dared not think any further.

This was because it was clearly beyond their understanding and capabilities. Those chosen to come here were not only the people Han trusted most, but also the most astute.

The leopard finally understood what it meant, and then it kept wagging its tail as it looked at the temple, trying to figure out where it was.

But then I heard the voice say:

"Not here. I prefer peace and quiet, and I'm used to being alone, so I'm not asking you to find a place here. I chose this spot for you—"

The mountain wind howled incessantly from the north, causing the trees to sway.

The Han family members turned their heads slightly and saw a solitary peak standing there.

"It's Songyin Peak, where Songyin Temple is located!"

"Could it be that this leopard has been appointed as the mountain god of Pine Hidden Peak?"

"This, this person???!!!"

Like the leopard, the Han family initially thought that the mountain god would choose a place for the leopard in his temple.

But now, the Mountain God says that He chose Pine Hidden Peak for the leopard!

What does this mean? It means that the mountain god's supernatural powers far exceeded their comprehension!

Upon realizing this, the Han family members hurriedly suppressed all thoughts and pressed their foreheads firmly to the ground to worship the god, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

The leopard, however, looked towards the mountains further behind Pine Hidden Peak.

After glancing at it twice, my hair stood on end.

That's a mountain that even several tiger kings couldn't conquer. How could a mere leopard, struggling to find enough to eat, possibly go there?

So it hurriedly shook its head repeatedly at the statue.

"You don't want it? Then you want a cultivation method? You have an affinity with the West and are a spirit beast, so I have here the Lotus Sutra, which is easy to learn but difficult to master, and the Brahma Beast Spiritual Pivot Sutra, which is difficult to learn but easy to master. Which one do you want?"

The leopard shook its head even more.

This book is clearly written by a human; it doesn't recognize a single word, so how could it possibly learn anything?
"Oh, you still don't want it? Then what do you want?"

The leopard hurriedly pointed to its mouth, then showed off its shrunken belly.

Then, fearing the other party might not understand, he added a few more howls.

This answer silenced the ever-calm voice for a long time, and the white jade bodhi returned to its original position.

The eerie silence made the Han family members, no matter how much they warned themselves not to overthink it, still wonder if the leopard had somehow asked for something it shouldn't have.

Before they could even get drenched in sweat, they were astonished to hear the Mountain God chuckle:
"You just want to be able to eat your fill every day?"

The leopard nodded wildly with great joy and swung its tail.

It's just a wild leopard from the mountains; it doesn't need any mountains or magic.

Just eat your fill!
At that very moment, Han Tang mustered her courage, lowered her head, and called out:
"My Han family can offer this spirit leopard on behalf of the gods!"

Once she had spoken, Han Tang, knowing there was no turning back, hurriedly continued:

"Your Excellency is so esteemed that you need not concern yourself with such trivial matters every day. You may entrust them to the Han family. Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the Han family will do our utmost and will not slacken our efforts!"

Although there was only a brief silence afterward, it still caused Han Tang to break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, a voice quickly rang out:

"No matter how you look at it, the Han family has wronged you, so you still want to ask for a predestined connection for your Han family?"

Han Tang said, almost exhausted:
"It was only a momentary mistake, not a lifelong transgression. I will never forget the great and small setbacks that have befallen my family!"

"Then let's do it your way. Kitten, from now on you'll go with her. I guarantee you'll eat well and be full every day."

In the end, even the leopard could hear the laughter in that voice.

Throughout history, countless people have sought knowledge from the past.

Among the visitors and tributes, kings and generals were the lowest in rank, followed closely by rare and precious treasures.

Very few people can succeed, and he is the only one whose only wish is to have enough to eat.
