Chapter 23: Xiao Family's Investment
Xiao Chenyu was full of questions, looking at Li Tian and asking, "What investment?"
Li Tian pointed to himself.
"I have Innate full spirit power, and my Spirit is of no low quality.
Investing in me will definitely not be a loss."
"Of course, as an investment, there are risks."
"If I die young, or if I'm an ungrateful wretch, then you can only consider yourself unlucky."
Xiao Chenyu: "…"
This was the first time he had seen someone so justifiably asking for investment.
However, Li Tian was indeed worth investing in.
With his Genius, as long as he didn't die young, becoming a Titled Douluo was almost a certainty.
Their Xiao Family was just a small Family on the border.
A single word from a Titled Douluo could make their Xiao Family prosper.
As for an ungrateful wretch…
All their Xiao Family could provide Li Tian was some money.
It was a tiny favor.
It wouldn't be enough to make a Titled Douluo ruin his reputation.
In his opinion, the biggest risk was Li Tian dying young.
Or forgetting about them.
For the former, they could only accept their bad luck; for the latter, they could just shamelessly try to reconnect.
"I'll bring it to you when we go to school tomorrow."
Xiao Chenyu didn't ask if Li Tian wanted money, or how much.
That was meaningless.
All their Xiao Family could provide was money, and the specific amount of investment depended on their strength.
"Good!"
Li Tian nodded in satisfaction; talking to smart people was simple.
After eating, he returned to the dormitory.
Li Tian found that Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng were not there, and upon asking others, he found out.
It turned out.
Xiao Wu had entrusted her work to Wang Sheng, and she herself had gone to hunt for a spirit ring.
Li Tian was a bit speechless.
Tang San had promised that when he returned, he would take care of all the remaining work for this semester.
But she was good.
She actually let someone else help her fulfill the agreement, doing nothing and still getting paid.
Her skin was thick enough.
However, this kind of thing was a matter of one person willing to beat and the other willing to be beaten, so he had no right to say anything.
…
Xiao Chenyu returned home and immediately told his father about the investment Li Tian had mentioned.
Xiao Chenyu's father already knew about Li Tian.
After all, Xiao Chenyu had even suffered a trip to the military camp because of him.
Xiao City Lord said, "Either don't invest, or if you do, you must make a heavy investment."
"A small monetary investment, perhaps he'll forget about it in a few years, and it won't bring any returns."
Xiao Chenyu was speechless.
"The problem is, besides money, we don't have anything else he would value."
Xiao City Lord looked at the ring on his left ring finger.
On his ring finger, he wore a black ring, like it was made of jade.
"No…"
Xiao Chenyu stared wide-eyed and said, "Father, you're not planning to use the Family heirloom to invest in him, are you?"
That ring was their Family heirloom.
It was a storage spirit tool with a ten-cubic-meter internal space that could hold living creatures.
However, it couldn't hold living creatures that were too strong.
Otherwise, once the internal space was damaged, the storage spirit tool would be Wasted.
Xiao City Lord said, "This is something that can follow him for life."
"Every time he uses it in the future, he will remember this investment of ours."
"It's much more reliable than gold coins."
"And looking at the entire Spirit Master's world, there probably aren't many storage spirit tools that can hold living creatures."
"Only with enough value can we exchange for greater returns."
Xiao Chenyu's mouth twitched involuntarily: "Aren't you afraid this investment will go to waste?"
Xiao City Lord said, "It's an investment, how can there be no risk?"
Although he said there were risks, Xiao City Lord actually felt that the risks were not that great.
After all, with Li Tian's Genius, he could join any force.
A Genius of this level would receive focused Cultivation in any force.
Unless he himself didn't want to live, it would be hard for him to die.
"Alright then, how much money should we give?"
Xiao Chenyu didn't say anything more, after all, the return on this investment would ultimately fall on him.
…
"No, your Family actually has such a good thing?"
Li Tian played with the ring, looking at Xiao Chenyu with a surprised expression and asking.
This was the Douluo Continent.
A ten-cubic-meter storage spirit tool was not small, and it could even hold living creatures.
Was this a treasure that a small border Family could produce?
"It's a Family heirloom."
Xiao Chenyu threatened, "If you, kid, take off in the future and dare to be an ungrateful wretch, I'll hire a few storytellers to spread this matter to every corner of the Continent."
"Okay, I remember."
Li Tian absolutely believed that it was the Xiao Family's Family heirloom, because even ordinary storage spirit tools were very rare.
Not to mention those that could hold living creatures.
Since the Xiao Family had even brought out their Family heirloom, how could he be an ungrateful wretch?
He would help him improve his Genius if he had the chance in the future.
Xiao Chenyu's Genius was not high, otherwise his first spirit ring would not have been white.
With only level three Innate spirit power.
Spirit Ancestor was probably his limit, and only with good luck would he have a slim chance of reaching Spirit King.
Li Tian wouldn't dare to say higher.
But he was confident that he could help him reach Spirit Emperor, or even Spirit Saint, in his lifetime.
"Just remember it, I'm going to class."
Xiao Chenyu didn't say anything more, he just dropped a sentence and turned to go upstairs.
Li Tian put the ring on his right index finger.
He found that it actually had self-adapting capabilities, changing to a perfectly fitting size.
He injected spirit power.
Li Tian sensed the space within the ring, and it was indeed about ten cubic meters.
And it was also filled with a pile of gold coins.
He couldn't count the exact amount for a while, but there were at least tens of thousands.
The Xiao Family had really gone all out to invest in him.
With this money, he wouldn't have to worry about travel expenses and living expenses when going to Heaven Dou City.
He could also look for ten-thousand-year whale glue.
The method of consumption and efficacy of whale glue were only accidentally discovered in Douluo Dalu 2.
It could increase Physique strength and slightly increase spirit power.
As his Physique strengthened, the spirit ring year limit he could withstand would naturally also increase.
That negligible spirit power increase was secondary.
However, in a small place like Nuoding City, he didn't know if there was any ten-thousand-year-level whale glue.
He would go shopping in the afternoon.
If not, he would wait until he went to Heaven Dou City, as he was still far from level twenty.
As for when to depart…
He had already reached the graduation standard and could apply for early graduation.
Early graduation also meant being a graduate of Notting School.
This would also leave a record of achievement for Notting School, not letting down Director Su's help.
He would try to self-study all the knowledge of the Elementary Soul Master Academy this semester, then apply for graduation.
At that time, he would Just right go back to Saint Spirit Village to see Jack Grandpa and the others and leave them some money.
After all, once he left, he didn't know when he would return.
The first class was very superficial, not teaching much, just letting the classmates get to know each other.
There weren't many people in Li Tian's class this year.
Including Tang San and Xiao Wu who weren't present, there were only six people in total.
The second class taught meditation Cultivation methods.
Li Tian had already learned it and cultivated somewhat restlessly throughout the entire class.
The third class was considered the official start.
Interestingly, this class talked about the spirit ring safety threshold range.
It was a pity Tang San wasn't there.
He wondered what he would think after knowing this safety threshold range.
And there were only these three classes in a day.
From this teaching progress, it should not be difficult to self-study all the knowledge of the sixth grade in one semester, it just required taking some time from Cultivation.
