……… ………

In the holy land of the Kirin Family.

King of the Netherworld gathered the elders of the Kirin Family and the Phoenix Family to convene a meeting, ready to discuss how to deal with the Evil Family. Feng Xi didn’t want to attend the boring meeting. Anyway, there was little he could do to help them, so he came out with God of Books and the others. He didn’t expect that as soon as he came out, he was surrounded by the younger generation of the Kirin Family and the Phoenix Family.

Feng Xi looked at those people with expectant faces in front of him and touched his head, feeling confused, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Hao Yu of the Kirin Family came forward first and coughed uncomfortably. His eyes flickered for a moment before he began haltingly, “Patriarch, shouldn’t you express your compliments and give us younger generation… some gifts?”

“Oh…” After he said this, Feng Xi suddenly realized what they meant, as if he really needed to give them presents.

However, he dragged out the last syllable a little longer which, together with being taught very successfully by King of the Netherworld, made everyone unable to know what his word “oh” meant and they could only take a shot in the dark.

Feng Xi didn’t notice their complicated expressions. He clapped his hands and said, “It turns out that you want welcome gifts. That’s easy.”

These blunt words instantly made everyone blush, but none of them wanted to refuse him. They knew that the treasures hidden in the patriarch’s ring had almost been heaped up to form a mountain peak, especially the Fruit of the World of the real Tree of the World, which was much stronger than the Fruit of the World produced by the remaining branch in Heaven God Mountain Range.

Just thinking about it was enough to make their eyes shine with excitement, so they did not want to let such a good opportunity slip. After all, in the world of powerhouses, the pursuit of strength was the only motivation for every cultivator to cultivate.

Feng Xi nodded in agreement. ‘This is what I should do. After all, these people will be working for me in the future. As a leader, I couldn’t be too petty. Otherwise, others wouldn’t be convinced and would think that I’m inadequate as a patriarch. So it’s also necessary to give them welcome gifts with my compliments.’

Thinking of this, Feng Xi immediately turned his head and whispered to God of Books, “Pedant, bring my bag to me.”

God of Books was stunned. He remembered that the bag was in his Feng Xi’s own ring, so why did his master ask him for the bag? Doubts just niggled at him for a moment, and then God of Books stared at Feng Xi with wide eyes.

“Mr. Feng Xi, I don’t have the bag with me,” God of Books immediately said primly after having completely guessed his master’s thoughts.

“Oh, well…” There was instantly a regretful expression on Feng Xi’s face. ‘What a pity.’ Thinking of this, Feng Xi looked up at his “juniors” and “subordinates” who looked at him with “expectant eyes”. He apologetically said, “I’m really sorry. I don’t have the bag with me, so I couldn’t give you welcome gifts. I wonder if I can give IOUs to you.”

“It’s fine,” everyone nodded in a hurry.

They thought that the patriarch put all the Fruit of the World in his Space Ring, but they didn’t expect it to be put in a bag. At this rate, although they were unable to get it immediately, it would be better than nothing. They believed that the patriarch was not a petty person, so they didn’t mind him giving IOUs.

Thus, the first batch of IOUs in history was created.

They looked at the IOUs in their hands with excitement, and everyone unfolded it in a hurry. However, when they saw a few words written on the notes, their excitements were suddenly erased from their minds. Everyone just stood still and remained speechless for a long time.

The note said, “A hundred crystals”.
