Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Treasure Hunting Myna Bird

Translator: 549690339

Several days quickly passed, and after Zhao Huai’s careful nurturing, the myna bird was finally able to fly without restraint.

It’s no wonder he favored this bird so much, mainly because Zhao Huai had his own plans in mind.

After all, he had picked it up from the talent market himself, and it was even a cash- spending bird!

In any case, this bird must have some usefulness, right?

Just in time, Madam had taken her younger sister out for a stroll, so Zhao Huai spent the morning playing with the bird. When they were in the pawnshop during their free time, he taught the myna bird a few phrases,

“Come, let’s walk with vigor.”

“Walking with vigor.”

It was unknown whether it was because of the feeding, but the myna bird’s tone was more accurate than before, and its voice was much louder.

“Let’s walk a thousand miles in a day.”

The myna bird tilted its head and said nothing.

Zhao Huai was quite speechless and threatened, “Damn it, you’ve swallowed so many spiritual stones from me, if you don’t listen I’ll stew you!”

“Damn you! Damn you!”

The myna bird’s shout was perfectly enunciated.

“Fine, you’re just a sweet-talking bird, huh?” Zhao Huai laughed in exasperation and gave it a thumbs up, admitting defeat.

Suddenly, the myna bird spread its wings and directly flew out of the pawnshop with a thud.

“Ran away?”

Zhao Huai watched it fly to the other side of the street and said in surprise.

But it wasn’t long before the bird came back.

When it returned, it had a glaze jade with a double-fish design in its beak, with soil and dead grass attached – it seemed like it had just been dug out from the ground.

“Oh, you have this ability?”

Zhao Huai tossed the jade in his hand, feeling its weight, and couldn’t help but smile.

He got it now. Before, this myna bird had always been staring at shiny, energy-containing objects like jades, spiritual stones, and the black ring. So the myna bird could find the source of these items and bring them back.

Put simply, this was a treasure-hunting myna bird.

“Good performance.” Zhao Huai saw it had brought back a priceless jade, so he rewarded the myna bird with another spiritual stone.

With Zhao Huai’s praise and having eaten the spiritual stone, the myna bird quickly spread its wings and flew out again.

When it came back the next time, the myna bird had a green stalk in its beak.

Zhao Huai was fascinated and picked up the stalk to examine it closely.

On the green stalk was a strong spiritual qi. He preliminarily determined that this was a panacea.

“You can even pick up panaceas?”

Zhao Huai was somewhat surprised.

Although panaceas do exist in the nearby mountains and fields, they are often quite hidden and difficult to find.

The energy contained in panaceas is indeed much more abundant than in spiritual stones, so was that why the myna bird managed to pick them up?

Looking at the green stalk, Zhao Huai thought that this panacea shouldn’t be toxic.

After pondering, he took out a copper coin and began divining.

[Misfortune and fortune are intertwined, let’s see]

[Hexagram One: Invigorating the roots with spirit qi, sunlight turning water to verdant duckweed, take it, the guidance you get is “Fortune.”]

Trace Guidance: Spirit-gathering object.

Another blue light ball appeared.

It had been a long time since he had seen a mysterious destiny, and he even missed it.

Zhao Huai couldn’t wait to check it out.

Spiritual Wood’s Friend, medium-level mysterious.

As the saying goes, all medicine has some toxicity, except for appetizers, which are nontoxic because they can expel toxins. Those who get this destiny can absorb the most essence of the panacea and eliminate their toxicity.

This was a useful destiny. At least he wouldn’t have to worry about impurities and side effects when using panaceas in the future, right?

Zhao Huai thought to himself discreetly.”Tsk tsk, I really don’t know where you found this.”

Zhao Huai touched the white silly hair on the myna bird’s head, and couldn’t help but wonder.

This must be the proper use of this myna bird.

After feeding it some more spiritual stones, the bird was full again, and set off. Its black wings fluttered, and it flew far away, disappearing into the sky in a short time.

However, this time, Zhao Huai waited for a long time without seeing the myna bird come back.

“Forget it, let’s not wait any longer.”

Although he was really looking forward to what the myna bird could bring back.

But right now, it was more important to continue renovating Huai’s pawnshop.

First, he placed potted plants in the corners of the pawnshop, and at the same time, painted several hidden talismans on the window sills and rooftop framework.

On the surface, they looked like paintings, but in fact, they were large thunder talismans to protect the house, preventing unclean things from entering.

If something tried to enter through the window, it would have to taste the Five Thunder Execution first.

On the cabinet at the door, he also placed a tank of lucky goldfish, making the shop livelier and improving the feng Shui quite a bit.

At the same time, Zhao Huai didn’t plan to consume the newly acquired spirit-gathering grass. Instead, he planned to cultivate and grow it.

He set aside a piece of land in the back yard, specifically for planting things like spiritual grass and medicinal plants, as well as some visually pleasing flowers.

He believed that madam would agree with this move.

Zhao Huai suddenly thought that the “Scholar of Wood Plants” he had obtained earlier could supposedly increase the cultivation speed. Even for low-level spiritual plants, it should work.

But he wasn’t worried. He could always try his luck later and see if he could get a similar one.

After a few hours of tidying up, Zhao Huai finally managed to give the pawnshop a decent appearance.

Although he didn’t make the pawnshop extravagant, it did look at least a bit warmer and cozier.

After the busy work, Zhao Huai started to cultivate.

With the triple cultivation speed of “Diligent Reader,” he gradually stopped feeling its effects while he was still at the ninth stage of refining qi. Now that he had broken through to the Initiation Stage, it barely felt like it did before.

Ordinary cultivators, under ideal conditions, would take a whole morning to complete one Circulation of Qi, and be able to complete three Circulations achieving nine days of progress in a day.

He could achieve nine Circulations, nearly ten Circulations, in a day, which was almost 30 days—or almost a month, of progress. The speed was undoubtedly extremely fast.

Cultivating felt like flying.

However, this was only under ideal conditions. After all, who would cultivate all day long?

Who would do it without taking breaks to enjoy themselves, eat, or rest?

Suddenly, a clear chirp came from the distance.

Zhao Huai, sitting on the Taishi Chair, looked out the window and saw that it was the myna bird that had returned.

The myna bird perched on the windowsill, its beak holding a glowing object.

“What now? What did you find this time?”

Zhao Huai curiously got up, took the object, and had a look.

It was a white, hard, flat object. The inside was concave, and it was covered with fresh mud. It looked like a… turtle bone?

He looked at it from all angles but couldn’t figure out what it was.

“You spent so long just to bring back this thing?” Zhao Huai complained.

“Husband, you’re amazing!”

The myna bird spoke up, clearly and melodiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai grasped the bird’s sharp beak and threatened, “Listen, don’t blab everything out; otherwise, I’ll cook you in a soup!”

The other night, this bird was incredibly restless—it would fly around and even sneak into his and Madam’s room at night.

It seemed that he needed to find a cage for it.

After that, Zhao Huai held the white, crystal-like object and tossed the copper coin.

“Misfortune and fortune depend on one another, let’s see.”

“Hexagram one: Thinking tonight, the intestine should be straight, rain cold, fragrance soul hanging visitor’s grave, keep it, your guidance is ‘Misfortune’.”

Trace Guidance: An evil object.
