Chapter 55: Seize the Opportunity
The stall owner saw Xiao Yan in extraordinary clothes and quickly introduced attentively: "This young master has indeed good eyesight. This is the magic core of the first-level monster wood-swalking fox. Among the first-level magic core, this is the best.
In order to obtain this magic core, our Spiroot Mercenary Group defended for three days and killed five Wood-swallowing Foxes before getting such one.
If the young master falls in love with it, it only takes five hundred gold coins..."
"What a coincidence! Xiao Yan, you guys are here to go shopping too!"
Just as the stall owner introduced Xiao Yan to the origin of the magic core, a somewhat playful voice suddenly rang.
“(;?_?)”
Xiao Yan's face changed slightly after hearing Ximen Cheng's voice. When he saw Nalan Yan beside Ximen Cheng, he couldn't help feeling guilty and subconsciously avoided Nalan Yanran's eyes.
After all, Nalan Yanran is Xiao Yan's nominal fiancée. As a result, Xiao Yan did not go shopping with her fiancée, but instead took Xiao Xun'er out to go shopping. It can only be described in two words - scum!
Xiao Xun'er was not as guilty as Xiao Yan, but looked directly into Nalan Yanran's eyes and asked, "I came out to buy medicinal materials with Brother Xiao Yan. I wonder why you two went out shopping together? Are you on a date?"
"What are you talking nonsense..."
When Nalan Yanran heard this, her pretty face turned slightly red. She was not dating Ximen Cheng, but just went out shopping with him.
When Ximen Cheng saw that his senior sister was bullied, he directly retorted: "Miss Xun'er is wronging. My senior sister and I came to Wutan City yesterday, and we are inevitably curious about the scenery in Wutan City.
Originally, we were planning to invite Mr. Xiao Yan to be a guide and take us to have a good time in Wutan City, but we learned from Chief Xiao that Mr. Xiao Yan went out to practice early in the morning, and we couldn't disturb him in practice, so we had to go out shopping by ourselves.
I didn’t expect to meet Miss Xun'er and Mr. Xiao Yan here. It seems that Mr. Xiao Yan’s cultivation today has ended."
“(╬ ̄Dish ̄)”
After being sarcastic and sarcastic in Ximen Cheng's sarcasm, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but clenched her pink fists in anger, and a trace of dangerous light appeared in her eyes when she looked at him.
“…”
Faced with Ximen Cheng's ridicule, Xiao Yan was not angry, but felt more ashamed.
After all, the current scene is really too similar to Xiao Yan having an affair, but he was caught by the original wife Nalan Yanran, and Ximen Cheng is like a brother-in-law who is holding back his worries.
Xiao Yan, who was extremely ashamed, explained indifferently: "Yan... Yanran, don't get me wrong. I just borrowed some money from Xun'er to buy the magic core. I just treated her as my sister."
"Puff!"
Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she felt a sharp stab in her chest, and she wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan's shameless expression, and felt a little funny in her heart. She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not angry."
You should know that Nalan Yanran didn't like Xiao Yan at first. Not to mention that he took Xiao Xun'er out shopping, even if he took Xiao Xun'er to check in, Nalan Yanran wouldn't be angry.
"Yanran, you are truly kind and understanding."
Xiao Yan didn't know what Nalan Yanran was thinking. When he saw that Nalan Yanran was so "generous", he felt more and more that Nalan Yanran would be a good wife and mother in the future.
"Ahem~"
Ximen Cheng noticed that Xiao Xun'er's little face had turned pale. He was afraid that she would lose her mind in anger, so he called Ling Ying out and started killing him. He quickly spoke out and changed the subject.
"Huh? This thing seems to be an old object!"
Ximen Cheng suddenly bent down and picked up the small iron piece on the stall, looked at it curiously, and then asked the stall owner: "Boss, how do you buy this thing?"
"This young master is really good at seeing. The origin of this iron piece is quite impressive. It is said to be the relics of a certain alchemist. If you really like it, you just need to give one hundred gold coins."
"Okay, I want it!"
Ximen finished speaking and took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to the stall owner, without any intention of bargaining.
After the stall owner took the purse, he secretly said annoyed: "Damn it! Where did the sucker come out? He didn't even pay the price. If he had known it, he would have asked for a little more."
“( ̄ー ̄)”
When Xiao Yan saw that the little iron piece he had liked first, he was intercepted by Ximen Cheng halfway, the corners of his mouth twitched.
However, Xiao Yan could only feel depressed. After all, he did not show the intention of buying small iron pieces just now. Everyone is buying and selling fairly, and it is impossible to say that Ximen Cheng stole his things.
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but wonder: "Junior brother, why are you buying this kind of thing?"
Although one hundred gold coins are nothing to Ximen Cheng, based on Nalan Yanran's understanding of Ximen Cheng, she does not think that Ximen Cheng will spend money randomly.
"It seems like there is a fighting skill hidden in it."
Ximen Cheng tried to explore the soul perception into the small iron piece. After a while, he smiled and said, "The fighting technique recorded here is called "Sucking Palm". The low-level fighting technique of the Xuan-level, can be refined to great success and can absorb thousands of kilograms of huge rocks. If you encounter an enemy, you will be able to suck forcefully to pull out the human blood."
"It's not interesting."
When Nalan Yanran heard that "Sucking Palm" was just a low-level fighting skill in the Xuan-level, she suddenly lost interest.
Ximen Cheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter! Although it's just a low-level Xuan-level fighting skill, it's just a hundred gold coins to exchange for a low-level Xuan-level fighting skill, which is equivalent to picking it up for nothing."
“(〃>蓝<)”
When the stall owner heard this, he wanted to bite his teeth into pieces with regret and slapped himself twice.
For Ximen Cheng and Nalan Yanran, the low-level fighting skills of the Xuan level are naturally not considered, and they are not even too lazy to practice.
But it is different for the stall owner. A low-level Xuan-level fighting technique can sell at least tens of thousands of gold coins, but he sold it with 100 gold coins. He just thought that Ximen Cheng was the sucker, but now he thinks he is the big fool!
If it weren't for Ximen Cheng and the others who looked quite good, the stall owner would even want to repent and snatch the small iron piece in Ximen Cheng's hand back.
Ximen Cheng shook the iron piece in his hand and said, "Xiao Yan, where is the auction house in Wutan City? Anyway, I am too lazy to practice this kind of low-level Xuan-level fighting skills, so it's better to auction it and spend some money."
“(′Д(︶︹︺)”
Not only the stall owner was very regretful, but Xiao Yan was also very upset, but on the surface he could only keep a smile and said, "Young Master Ximen, please wait for a while."
