Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Ignorant Girl: The Grass in Her Hand
On the side of the road, there was a guy who looked to be in his thirties but had a scornful face. He was holding out his hand to stop a girl from passing.
This man behaved frivolously and spoke frivolously. He stopped the girl from leaving and insisted on offering ten spiritual stones to buy the spiritual grass in her hand.
The girl looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a somewhat thin figure. Her originally smart, water-cut eyes showed a bit of confusion. She spoke softly and softly. Even though she had tried very hard to argue with the other party, her voice was still low.
If the mosquitoes are inactive,.
Even though Cao Xiu was only a few feet away from the other party, he might not have been able to hear the girl's defensive voice if he hadn't had extraordinary hearing.
Cao Xiu followed the sound and looked up. When he saw the scene clearly, he was slightly startled.
It's not that I was surprised by the girl's appearance.
Although the girl is indeed delicate and beautiful, with picturesque features, her figure has already begun to take shape even at a young age.
Especially at this moment, the look of panic in those dark eyes is even more heart-warming.
However, Cao Xiu is not someone who has never seen beautiful women. Although he was a little surprised when he saw the girl for the first time, that was all.
He is not at the point where he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, not to mention that she is still a young girl who has not fully grown up.
Even though he no longer has to guard his body like jade like he did in the acquired realm, he no longer has the worry of having to switch to other techniques after his boy body is broken. Although he is busy practicing after being promoted, he still feels full and warm when he is free occasionally.
I have lustful thoughts, but I never actually act on them.
The most important thing for him now is to pass the sect examination and enter the Daluo Sect, but he has no intention of meddling in other people's affairs.
Regardless of the spiritual grass in the girl's hand, it made Cao Xiu's heart move slightly.
Soul-nourishing grass is rare!
This type of spiritual grass is very special and can be made into several kinds of medicines that can warm the soul and enhance the power of spiritual consciousness. However, the growth conditions are harsh, so it is rare in the world of cultivation.
He had previously found one in Xiuzhenfang City in Jiangzhou, and wanted to buy it back and plant it in the Treasure Map Cave. Unfortunately, its strength was too low, and he didn't dare to compete with others even though he only had spiritual stones.
Unexpectedly, he found one here, and he immediately became interested.
However, he did not rush forward rashly, but planned to take a look at the situation first.
Just looking at the girl's bewildered look made him sigh a little.
It's not that the girl's pitiful appearance aroused any protective desire, but that the girl's weak performance may not have the desired effect, but will only arouse the other party's courage.
The man who stopped her was apparently talking to the girl about buying her spiritual herbs, but there was a disgusting light in his eyes, staring at the girl's beautiful face like a vicious wolf.
This man's name is Zhang Shan. He was originally an idle man in the city. He did not do his job every day and made some money by defrauding casual cultivators from other places.
He was wandering on the street today and unexpectedly met a young girl who didn't understand anything. At first, he just wanted to deceive the soul-raising grass from the other person's hand. However, after seeing the girl's appearance clearly, he immediately made other moves.
thought.
He even wants people and spiritual objects!
At this moment, seeing the girl's appearance of not daring to speak loudly, Zhang Shan felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, and he just wanted to ravage this delicate girl who looked like a nine-day fairy!
"If you want to sell more spiritual stones, that's easy to say!"
He tried hard to put away the greed in his eyes and said: "My brother is an alchemist. You come with me and I will take you to see him. If he thinks that your spiritual grass is more valuable, the spiritual stone is not a problem!"
The girl felt a little overwhelmed.
She instinctively felt that this person was not a kind person.
But thinking about my mother-in-law's injury, if the other party can get some more spiritual stones, it seems that it would be okay to go with the other party to see the alchemist.
"well!"
Cao Xiu watched for a while, seeing that if the man tried to confuse him with a few more words, the girl might really leave him, he couldn't help but sigh.
After all, he still didn't want to see the girl fall into the wolf's den, so he took a step forward and said with a smile: "The girl is holding soul-raising grass. How many spiritual stones do you plan to sell?"
"Who are you?"
When Zhang Shan saw someone cutting off the conversation midway, his expression turned ugly: "You didn't see us discussing the price, why did you interrupt so randomly?"
"Business or sale? Of course the one with the highest price gets it!"
Cao Xiu smiled faintly: "I think this soul-nurturing grass is pretty good. It's at least two hundred years old. Coupled with the scarcity of the soul-nurturing grass, the price will be even higher. Let's do it, two hundred and forty yuan."
Shi, I bought it!”
After saying that, he took out the spirit stone, put it in a cloth bag and handed it to the girl.
"you……"
The man's expression changed drastically.
He was about to trick the girl into following him, but he didn't expect that such a disruptor would pop up halfway and be so generous!
Two hundred spirit stones, even if he sold him, he couldn't get that much, but the other party took it out easily!
If I had known this, it would be better to give the girl dozens more spiritual stones as promised before. Even if I sell the soul-nurturing grass, I won't get nothing like now.
Now it's better, I've lost both my life and my money, and I've gained nothing.
The girl was also a little dazed.
She really didn't know that soul-nurturing grass was so valuable.
She had gone to a store where she bought elixirs and asked about it. The monk thought that she was young and ignorant and wanted to buy it for more than ten yuan.
After that, I was pestered by that arrogant man, and the price was extremely low.
So the girl thought that the price of the soul nourishing grass was about this, but she didn't expect that this young man who suddenly appeared was so generous, and immediately gave the price to two hundred spiritual stones!
This immediately shocked her!
"What, you don't want to sell?"
Cao Xiu looked at her with a half-smile.
"Think, think!"
The girl felt a little embarrassed when he saw her, lowered her head and whispered.
Then he stretched out his two white and tender hands and handed him the soul-nourishing grass.
Cao Xiu reached out to take it and sent the spirit stone over: "In the future, if you sell spiritual herbs, go to larger elixir shops. Even if the price is lower than outside, you don't have to worry about being cheated!"
"Um!"
The girl responded in a low voice, hugging the heavy bag of spirit stones, and her mood suddenly became much more relaxed.
With so many spiritual stones, my mother-in-law's injuries will definitely be relieved a lot.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. In the end, she had to give Cao Xiu a slight salute, turned around and left.
"Oh, wait a minute..."
Seeing the girl leaving, Zhang Shan became anxious and reached out to pull the girl's arm.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, a slap came out from the side and slapped him to the ground hard.
This move not only stunned the man, but also shocked the girl. She never expected that the young man who was so kind just now could be so cruel.
"You dare to hit me? Do you know who my eldest brother is?"
"I don't know who your eldest brother is, but you are so courageous!"
Cao Xiu's eyes were cold: "You dare to try to kidnap a woman in Qingyun City. Who gave you the courage?"
"You...what are you talking nonsense about?"
Zhang Shan, who was still full of anger at first, suddenly changed his face when he heard this: "If you dare to taint my innocence out of thin air, be careful, I will sue you to the law enforcement team!"
"OK!"
Cao Xiu said in a gloomy tone: "Go and find the Daluo Sect's law enforcement team. I want to see if they will protect a scum like you!"
"Just wait for me!"
Seeing his confident look, Zhang Shan immediately did not dare to cause trouble again, left a harsh word and turned around to leave.
Cao Xiu did not stop him.
He is not yet a disciple of Daluo Sect, so he has to be more restrained in his work.
What's more, all he can think about right now is to quickly give birth to the soul-nourishing grass and strive to make his spiritual consciousness stronger!
