Elder Liao was fond of wealth, which had nothing to do with personal character but rather because most Gu Cultivators were relatively poor.
He didn't believe that the Mortal Realm had no good things at all. After all, it was such a vast world with a large population. It made sense that some valuable items would appear.
There were also legends of cultivators who came to the Mortal Realm for Worldly Trials and found treasures there.
However, such legends were not particularly common.
So although Elder Liao didn't believe he had the luck, he couldn't help but harbor a bit of a hopeful mindset.
In fact, he understood very well that the probability of finding good items at the Prefectural Governor's mansion was much higher than in remote areas or steep cliffs—after all, it was the residence of the one who governed a county.
But how much higher that probability was, was hard to say—if the other party had a thousand Spirit Stones, it wouldn't be his turn to ask for them, right?
