"Here you go," Yi Feng said as he poured the spicy sticks on the ground and smiled while patting the dog's head.
The dog wolfed them all down in one go, then ran off without a trace.
Seeing so many spicy sticks spilled on the ground, eaten by this dog, everyone's hearts bled. If only they hadn't been so polite earlier and eaten a couple more!
Just then, Yi Feng looked at the people sitting there and suddenly remembered why they had come. He couldn't help but squeeze his nose and smile embarrassedly, "You all came to see me because of my reputation. I should have played a few songs to express my gratitude, but unfortunately, my zither is missing a few strings so I can't. I'm sorry!"
Hearing this, the few showed looks of disappointment.
Although most of the people present, apart from calligraphy, painting and zither, were not zither cultivators, being able to listen to a song from this person would still bring great benefits!
It looked like there was no chance now.
No, wait!
Everyone reacted instantly. This matter was not so simple.
Because every item in this shop was a treasure, how could this person's zither strings break?
That's it.
They had swarmed in, thinking only of how to gain good fortune from this person. Even after eating spicy sticks, appreciating calligraphy and paintings, they did not show any gratitude.
This had clearly displeased him already.
Giving the dog the spicy sticks to eat just now was probably because of this reason.
Realizing this, Calligraphy Painting Zither immediately bowed and said, "Sir, I happen to have a Tian Chan silk. If the sir needs it, I will deliver it to you as soon as possible."
"Damn!"
"This woman got ahead of us!"
Seeing Calligraphy Painting Zither make the offer before them, the rest showed regretful looks. What shocked them even more was that this woman was planning to take out their Tian Mo Sect's guardian treasure, the Tian Chan silk, and give it away.
The Tian Mo ancestral zither of their Tian Mo Sect had only a small piece of Tian Chan silk on it, yet when the Tian Mo zither appeared, there were few opponents in the entire Nansha.
Now she was willing to give away a whole Tian Chan silk. She really was willing to spend a fortune!
The annoying thing was their sect didn't even have any treasures that could be used as zither strings, so there was no way for them to compete with Calligraphy Painting Zither!
For a while, everyone could only resentfully grit their teeth at Calligraphy Painting Zither, but they didn't have any way to do anything.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yi Feng showed a look of pleasant surprise. He was indeed troubled by the lack of zither strings.
He didn't expect this girl to have some.
Since that was the case, he would just shamelessly accept, laughing, "Then thank you, Miss Calligraphy. Of course, I won't take your silk for nothing."
Speaking to this point, Yi Feng hesitated slightly.
He had thought about giving money, but looking at this girl's dressing, and that she had come here due to his zither music, she must be an artistic type.
Giving money to this kind of person would be too vulgar.
After thinking about it, Yi Feng said, "Miss Calligraphy, I saw you appreciate my calligraphy and painting earlier, so you must have some skill in calligraphy and painting apart from zither, right?"
"I do dabble a bit, though I dare not compare with sir." Calligraphy Painting Zither quickly stood up and replied.
Yi Feng smiled.
He didn't feel like the girl was just flattering him.
Although this crappy system was useless for cultivation, these miscellaneous skills were indeed unmatched.
Things like calligraphy and painting, he really wasn't inferior to anyone.
"In that case, I will gift the lady a calligraphy or painting to express my gratitude!" Yi Feng said with a laugh, "Miss, feel free to request whatever you want me to write or paint."
"Really?"
"Thank you, sir."
Calligraphy Painting Zither's body trembled violently, revealing an ecstatic look on her face. She was excitedly standing up to express her gratitude to Yi Feng.
She had originally only wanted to build a good relationship with this person by giving the Tian Chan silk, and to repay him for the spicy sticks and rice paper from earlier. She didn't dare hope that he would gift her calligraphy or painting.
"Jealous!"
Seeing this scene, Fifth Sky and the others beside them were green with envy. The way they looked at Calligraphy Painting Zither was full of envy and jealousy.
If they had known there was such an opportunity, even if it meant selling all their assets, they wouldn't have let Calligraphy Painting Zither get ahead!
But now, apart from feeling envious and jealous, what else could they do?
"Sir, then I will take my leave first and bring the Tian Chan silk to you. After satisfying you, I will humbly come to receive sir's calligraphy or painting." Calligraphy Painting Zither decided to quit while she was ahead. She bowed to Yi Feng and prepared to take her leave.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble."
Yi Feng got up to see her off, also feeling that this girl was really nice.
And pretty too.
Making a new friend didn't seem bad.
The others' faces were flushed red. Knowing there was no point in staying, they took their leave after Calligraphy Painting Zither.
They could only look for opportunities again in the future.
After sending off the few, Yi Feng stretched lazily, then went to the backyard to take another look at the stone platform.
In terms of both height and size, it really suited his preferences quite well.
He had to say, old man Qing Shan was pretty reliable. He should carve the chess board sometime when he had the chance.
"Hm?"
Just then, Yi Feng suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from the storeroom.
When he went closer to listen, the sounds disappeared.
He shook his head, and was about to leave, but the rustling sounds came again.
Yi Feng walked towards the storeroom again.
Sure enough, when he got close, the sounds disappeared again.
He stood in place, his eyes narrowing slightly. He pretended to stride away with large steps, then sneakily walked back to the door, and suddenly kicked open the locked door with one foot.
Inside, he saw the skull head bent over with its butt in the air, digging a hole.
The kicked door slammed into its butt, scaring it into jumping up with a shudder. At the same time, it cursed loudly, "Which bastard dares to sneak attack me?"
It furiously turned its head, instantly meeting Yi Feng's chilling gaze.
The skull froze in place. After reacting, it shifted its body to block the sack behind it.
"Move aside," Yi Feng said uncompromisingly.
"Ah ah!"
The skull's face revealed an ingratiating smile. It clapped its upper and lower jaws, making sounds.
But before its voice could fall, a fist smashed into its head...

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!
