Swords emerge from the human world

Chapter 71: Overnight Riches, Abundant Harvest
Throughout the journey, Chen Jin often thought about the pot-shaped pouch, wanting to open it and see what was inside.

People always dream of getting rich overnight, and he's no exception, especially when he's starting to run into financial difficulties.

Shi Qifeng was responsible for all daily expenses. Although he didn't say it, it was clear that he didn't have much silver left.

After all, with such spending, money is flowing out like water, and there's no income, it's really hard to bear.

It’s hard to move without money.

very real problem.

There's still a two- or three-month gap ahead.

The accommodation problem has been solved, but food and drink are the real issue.

In fact, Chen Jin did have some ideas about the test arranged by Chen Shounian, but after thinking about it again, he realized that the focus at this stage was the provincial examination, and the environment there would have too much of an impact. He didn't want to do something that would cause him to lose sight of the bigger picture.

After all, he hadn't reached the point of utter desperation.

He had a feeling that as long as he opened the Heavenly Pot Bag, the problem of money would be easily solved.

My spiritual resolve is weak, and my spiritual power is insufficient, so I try to wear it down little by little with the slow, persistent effort of water grinding away stone. But so far, it seems the effect is not good.

If things continue like this, who knows when it will actually open up.

Chen Jin felt a sense of urgency.

After settling down in Jiuyi Lane after entering the city, he thought about taking the initiative and making results as soon as possible.

If you lack your own strength, then borrow from external forces.

The only being who could be relied upon was, of course, the God of Literature, Kui Xing.

If it weren't for the fact that Kui Xing used his sword last time, which consumed his divine power and caused the statue to crack, Chen Jin would have used it long ago.

Now, he plans to use it again.

It's an active endeavor, and I'm also doing some verification along the way.

He immediately took three incense sticks, lit them, and then placed the pot-shaped bag in front of the Kui Xing kicking the Dipper lamp.

Holding incense sticks, bowing respectfully, and reciting prayers.

These steps are rituals for invoking the gods, to show piety and reverence.

Finally, he proclaimed in a loud voice, "May the Divine Lord unleash his divine power and lend this disciple a helping hand!"

After speaking, he waited somewhat anxiously to see if it would come true.

next moment.

With a "whoosh," the eyes of the Kui Xing statue, which had been slightly closed, suddenly opened, a glint of light flashing in them, and in an instant, it struck the mouth of the Hutian Bag.

It was annihilated in a single strike.

His eyes closed again.

Crackling sounds filled the air as the statue's surface developed even more cracks, densely packed like a spider web.

Chen Jin was initially delighted, then sighed. Instead of rushing to check the bag, he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your help, Divine Lord! This disciple will strive to improve myself and create a golden body for you as soon as possible."

Having said that, he picked up the Heavenly Bag, still not daring to be careless, and carefully used his spiritual vision.

The black, venomous snake that had been coiled around the entrance had disappeared, and the situation inside could now be seen directly.

Upon closer inspection, the dazzling golden light nearly blinded him...

……

This former residence is divided into a main house and a side house. Chen Jin lived in the main house, while Shi Qifeng chose the side house on the left.

The right-hand side room contains the kitchen, woodshed, and dining room.

The courtyard is enclosed in the middle, with a well and a jujube tree planted there.

The open space behind it was originally cultivated for growing vegetables, but it has been abandoned for a long time and is overgrown with weeds.

During the day, Shi Qifeng started weeding, not because he wanted to replant vegetables.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll only be staying here for two or three months, not even enough time to grow vegetables.

The main thing is that it's cleaned up and looks better.

I also cut some grass to feed the horses. The horses are the same ones I've always known.

It is resilient and tenacious, and it persevered. This spirit is truly admirable.

There was no stable in the courtyard, and the horses could not be tied to the jujube tree, so Shi Qifeng tied them to the back.

Next, raising horses is a problem.

After all, these days, even supporting a child is a problem.

There were no lights on in the side room, nor was there any need to. Shi Qifeng took out his money bag, reached in to count the money, and silently counted it.

Each coin was a copper coin, so it didn't take long to count them.

Money is running low.

When I set off from Maoxian, I brought almost all the money I had saved, and the total amount was not small.

They couldn't stop themselves from spending a lot of money along the way, with no income and their savings dwindling.

Life is always filled with the mundane details and troubles of daily necessities, no wonder there's a saying that "even a hero can be brought down by a single penny."

He pondered whether he should tell Chen Jin about it, but then changed his mind and decided against it.

The teacher should concentrate on reviewing his lessons and preparing for the provincial examination; he must not be bothered by these trivial matters.

Shi Qifeng decided to solve the problem himself. If all else failed, he could go out tomorrow and see if there was anything to do in the surrounding area; he should be able to earn some money.

He's a seasoned veteran with martial arts skills; surely he wouldn't starve to death.
……

Chen Jin's composure is quite remarkable. While he wouldn't say he would remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes, he certainly wouldn't easily be startled.

But now, dazzled by the vast expanse of gold and captivated by the neatly stacked gold bars, I couldn't help but swallow hard.

That guy is really rich!

Just how much did they plunder?

Or perhaps, it's a lifetime's worth of stockpiled goods, all piled up here.

Catch it all in one go.

It's not surprising. The other party is a sorcerer who works under Magistrate Zhao. How could he be poor?
In the realm of cultivation, if one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can almost say that one "regards money as dirt" and values ​​high-level resources for cultivation even more.

Of course, the underlying logic is universal. In the early stages of cultivation, the initial stage of "gathering and absorbing qi" is extremely expensive due to the issue of food, so one has to put effort into making money.

Chen Jin is a typical example.

He can be described as having incredible luck; so far, he has hardly ever had to work hard to make a living.

Moreover, the money they make is mostly windfall gains.

Whenever I'm short of money, unexpected windfalls just fall into my lap.

From the initial "Meiniang" to Zhao Zhubu, and now to Hutiandai...

If it happens once or twice, it's easy to explain, but if it happens repeatedly, then something is fishy.

Does this mean that Kui Xing, the God of Literature, not only governs literary talent and academic success, but also serves as the God of Wealth?
This is not impossible.

In the pantheon of deities, the role of the God of Wealth is quite diverse, divided into civil and military, as well as major and minor. It makes sense that Kui Xing, the God of Wealth, also serves as the civil God of Wealth.

Regardless, after becoming rich overnight, making a living is no longer an issue.

From then on, I could concentrate on my studies.

Chen Jin exhaled, temporarily shutting down his spiritual vision, and after calming himself down, he observed carefully again.

The space inside the pot-shaped pouch wasn't very large, about half the size of a room. Most of the space was used to store gold, while the remaining space was filled with strange and unusual materials. Among them was even a pale white bone, clearly a human leg bone, which appeared to have been refined, but it looked rather crude.

He wasn't very interested in these things, and he didn't want to touch them rashly, lest he accidentally do something wrong.

After all, unorthodox methods and sinister techniques are ill-intentioned and their use is ominous.

Soon, Chen Jin discovered an old book. After a moment's thought, he used his magic to take it out.
