'Well, this is...' Lü Zhong was speechless.
They say all investments have risks, and he was certainly feeling it firsthand.
'Did I really just lose a Spirit-Seeking Rat worth nearly a thousand Spirit Stones, just like that?'
Fortunately, the situation wasn't a total loss. When the family heard he was the owner of the Spirit-Seeking Rat, they apologized profusely and ended up compensating him with nine hundred Spirit Stones.
Accepting the Spirit Stones, Lü Zhong thought, 'This is a classic case of trying to get a little and losing a lot. What a huge loss.'
Resigned, he had no choice but to head for the Inheritance Hall.
On the way, he passed by the Treasure Hall, where the Sect Treasure Vault was located, and didn't forget to go inside to exchange for his three-year supply of Secret Pattern Pills. Only then did he cross a series of covered bridges, walk for a while among the peaks shrouded in Cloud Qi, and arrive at the Inheritance Hall.
