Li Xian repeatedly flicked his fingers, allowing each Dao Cicada to drink to its heart's content, emptying the bottle in the process. He couldn't help but sigh, "You've truly eaten me into poverty; it costs over thirty taels a day to sustain you. Since I bought you, not a single one has been sold, and seventeen have died."
He walked to the jujube tree.
He picked up a Dao Cicada and observed it closely. This creature is endearing in appearance, and its chirping is crisp and pleasant. Its usefulness is indeed remarkable, as the cicada's song enhances Feng Shui, greatly benefiting the flora. The jujube tree, bathed in the song of cicadas all day long, appears even greener, blossoms, and bears more, redder, sweeter dates.
