Xu Xian was focused on improving his strength, so he didn't listen to their conversation for too long. After choosing his favorite iron-handled hoe, he paid and left.
Next door to the hardware store was a fruit and vegetable seed store. When he passed by, his heart moved and he walked towards the store.
Just at a glance, he saw the bags of watermelon seeds placed on the counter. Among all kinds of fruits, Xu Xian liked watermelon very much. He suddenly thought that he might buy some seeds and put them in the Jinzhu Space to try.
Anyway, the Jinzhu space is large enough, so growing some watermelons shouldn’t be a problem.
But since he didn't know if it would work, he just planned to buy a bag of watermelon seeds and try planting them first.
There are also several people chatting together at the entrance of this store. The difference is that there are more aunts here and their voices are louder. Even if Xu Xian doesn't listen deliberately, he can still hear what they are talking about.
Aunt: "Have you heard? Several people were killed in the city last night and died at home. My neighbor's third nephew's second daughter's neighbor was also killed."
People who eat melons: "There is this thing? Why haven't we heard about it?"
Auntie: "It is said that those who died were those who ate spiritual fruits... Yes, cultivators, I heard that the murderers were actually not humans, but those mutated beasts."
People who eat melons: "Hey, is it true or not? Can mutated beasts run into the city?"
Auntie: "I don't know if it's true or not. My neighbor, Mrs. Wang, told me. Anyway, she said it has a nose and eyes."
One of the melon-eaters said: "That's what Mrs. Wang said. I know her. She can make her talk about anything without a trace. Last year, a wild boar ran down from Tangshan. When it got into Mrs. Wang's mouth, she passed it on.
It turned out that a pig demon came down from the mountains, and it only picked out young girls to be a slave to, so that the girls around it were afraid to go out. It was not until the official came out to refute the rumor that it subsided."
Auntie: "But there's another thing I heard, and it's absolutely true."
People who eat melon: "What?"
Aunt: "There is a young man from the country who seems to have eaten a lot of spiritual fruits. He just moved to the city yesterday afternoon."
People who eat melons: "What kind of gossip is this?"
Auntie: "Listen to what I'm saying. He met a big snake with a thick waist on the way, and he killed it directly. He also cut a large piece of the snake's body and put it on the roof of the car and brought it to the city, saying it was for preparation.
Make soup and drink it.”
People who eat melon: "Really?"
Aunt: "It's not over yet. As a result, this young man died in the middle of the night. They said it was the snake demon seeking revenge on him!"
People who eat melon: "Oh my God!"
Xu Xian: "..."
He suddenly discovered that what these aunties were talking about was much more bloody and violent than what the old men next door were talking about, but he could not verify whether the news was true or false.
But no matter what, the current situation is indeed a lot more dangerous. If you want to get greater security, you must improve your own strength as a top priority.
"Is the boss here? How much does this pack of watermelon seeds cost?" Xu Xian asked as he picked up the selected pack of watermelon seeds.
In the chatting crowd, the aunt who had been giving the hot stuff looked back, pointed at the counter and said casually: "30 yuan, there is a code on the counter, just scan the code to pay."
Obviously, this aunt hasn't had enough fun with the conversation yet and doesn't really want to talk to Xu Xian.
After seeing this, Xu Xian changed his mind and said to his aunt: "Boss, sell it to me for 20 yuan cheaper. If the watermelon grown is delicious, I will buy it back."
The aunt turned back impatiently: "A small business doesn't make money."
Seeing that the aunt started chatting with the watermelon friends again, Xu Xian continued: "It's just a bag of watermelon seeds. In the past, it cost at most ten yuan a bag. My offer of 20 is considered a conscientious price. Just sell it to me, boss."
, this time the business is done, I will definitely come here often in the future.”
The aunt, whose chat was interrupted again, waved her hand without looking back: "Okay, okay, just scan the code yourself."
It’s done.
Xu Xian happily scanned the QR code to pay, no longer disturbing the aunt's desire to talk, and walked out of the store directly.
On the way back, he suddenly thought of another thing.
The crooked parrot at home likes smoking. The 14 yuan a pack of Liqun he bought is probably not enough for him to smoke today.
Knowing that the guy would most likely come over to annoy him after finishing his cigarette, Xu Xian stopped by the canteen.
What is gratifying is that the price of cigarettes has not increased and remains at the original price.
However, Xu Xian did not buy the 14-yuan Liqun. Instead, he chose the cheapest 5-yuan Liqun and bought two packs, which happened to cost him the ten yuan he had saved by bargaining with his aunt.
When I got home, the TV screen had changed to the Douyin TV version.
'How did this crooked parrot master the remote control so quickly?'
Looking at the parrot that was switching between short videos with its paws, Xu Xian really took a different look.
He put a pack of Liqun in his pocket on the coffee table and said to the parrot: "That pack of cigarettes is almost finished. Here, I just bought a new pack for you."
The parrot turned its head in surprise: "Brother Xian, do you finally know how to be nice to your savior?"
Xu Xian stretched out his hand and scratched the parrot's head: "If you give me peace of mind, I can treat you better."
Tilting his little head, the parrot looked at the newly bought Liqun: "Hey, why is this bag different from the one I just smoked?"
"The one I smoked for you before was not very good, but this pack is better." Xu Xian said seriously.
The parrot blinked twice: "Thank you, Brother Xian. It seems that I didn't save you in vain."
"Okay, you can continue watching TV, I'm busy."
With that said, Xu Xian walked towards the room with a hoe.
The parrot glanced at his back curiously, and then turned his attention to the TV.
Taking the Four Elephants Stick Technique on the bed in the room, Xu Xian flashed into the Golden Pearl Space.
He has determined that the spiritual energy in the Golden Bead Space is much richer than the outside world, so it should be more beneficial to stay in the Golden Bead Space often and practice the Four Elephant Stick Techniques in the Golden Bead Space.
However, he did not rush to practice stick skills. Instead, he first planted the bag of watermelon seeds he bought in an open space on the edge of the white mist.
This is to prevent the watermelon seeds from taking away the nutrients of those spiritual plants, and secondly, he can more clearly check when the grassland area will expand again.
After planting the watermelon seeds, he glanced at the scalper. This guy was constrained by his own will and always stayed in that small area.
At this time, the ox seemed to have accepted its fate and no longer made any struggle. Even if Xu Xian came in, it did not raise its head to look at it, and kept eating the green grass on the ground.
After gathering his mind, Xu Xian opened the Four Elephants Stick Technique in his hand.
The Four Elephant Stick Method is divided into four volumes: dragon elephant, bird elephant, tiger elephant, and turtle elephant.
The contents of these four volumes correspond to four different styles of stick moves. After reading each volume, Xu Xian had a general understanding in his mind.
The Tiger-Elephant Scroll's stick moves focus on fierce attacks, the Bird-Elephant Scroll's stick moves focus on speed and dexterity, the Turtle-Elephant Scroll's stick moves focus on defense, and the Dragon-Elephant Scroll's more like a combination of the first three elephants, taking into account both offense and defense without sacrificing flexibility.
The author of the book laid out the stick techniques in the order of tiger, elephant, sparrow, turtle, dragon and elephant according to the difficulty of the stick techniques. In other words, if you want to learn this set of stick techniques, it is best to start with tiger and elephant. .
'It looks like that, but I don't know if it will have any effect if I practice it.'
Thinking of this, Xu Xian opened the first volume, Tiger Elephant, First Style. This chapter has been completed!
