The stall owner looked dejected, but he winked at Zheng Chen vigorously, regardless of whether Zheng Chen could see clearly in the night.
Zheng Chen saw the weird expression of the stall owner and understood the meaning, but didn't express much.
The stall owner wanted Zheng Chen to leave quickly, but when he saw that Zheng Chen didn't just walk away, his expression became even more dejected.
"What a good boy, you actually chased me outside the gate of the Beast Control Sect. Just now in the forest, I gave you a warning, but you insisted on chasing me. Is it because you are tired of living?" The bearded monk said angrily.
Zheng Chen gently waved the Li Yun Sword in his hand and said: "In that forest, I'm afraid it wasn't you who was warning me. If I hadn't been paying full attention just now, you were lurking in the forest and you would definitely kill me.
It’s right for me!”
Although the lie was exposed, the bearded monk showed no signs of any abnormality. He casually threw the stall owner aside and said: "I know you must have some friendship with this liar, but I advise you to mind your own business."
, this is not the Luoxia Sect, you are alone in the territory, according to the agreement between the two sects, even if we kill you here, the Luoxia Sect will not go to war because of this."
Zheng Chen smiled slightly and responded: "The liar you call does have some friendship with me. I can't just watch him being taken away. Moreover, I think there should be some misunderstanding between you. Just talk it over. Why bother to put it aside?"
Where are the people taking it away?”
The bearded monk glanced at the stall owner with an unkind expression, and said bitterly: "Don't say those nice words, there is no misunderstanding between him and me. Since you want to stand up for him, I will tell you... this liar
Two years ago in Zhengyangfang City, he sold me a jade slip, saying that it contained an unpredictable auxiliary technique. At that time, he had a golden tongue and tricked me into paying me two hundred yuan for warmth.
I bought the jade slips for ten thousand taels of gold and jade, but when I came back, I studied for a long time to no avail. I also asked an expert to appraise it and found that there was nothing recorded on the jade slips. It was only worth ten yuan of warm jade at most. I
When I found him again with the jade slips, he refused to buy it and ran away. This time he fell into my hands and refused to return my warm jade. Do you think it makes sense for me to take him away?
"
Hearing this, Zheng Chen frowned slightly, but glanced at the stall owner, but found that the stall owner had no intention to argue a few words, and he could guess that what the bearded monk said was true.
"Haha, it's just two hundred pieces of warm jade, and it's not worth a big fight. How about this, I'll pay you back two hundred pieces of warm jade on his behalf, and the matter between you will be settled, okay?" Zheng Chen suggested with a smile.
If two hundred pieces of warm jade could solve the problem, Zheng Chen wouldn't begrudge him anything.
"oh?"
The bearded monk narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The two hundred yuan of warm jade is just the loss of the jade slip I purchased before. In order to catch this liar, I wasted two years of cultivation time, please."
We got a lot of helpers, these losses..."
Before the bearded monk finished speaking, Zheng Chen answered: "A piece of low-grade spiritual stone should be enough, right?"
The bearded monk was slightly startled, and then the strong man suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "A low-grade spiritual stone is not enough. After all, time is priceless. If I had not wasted it in the past two years, I might have advanced to the golden elixir stage.
Woolen cloth!"
Zheng Chen waved his hand and asked impatiently: "How much do you think we need?"
The bearded monk stretched out a slap with a bit of greed on his face.
"Five dollars?"
Zheng Chen frowned even more tightly, then relaxed his brows and said, "Just five yuan!"
Seeing how happy Zheng Chen was, the bearded monk swallowed a gulp of saliva, stretched his palm forward slightly, and said in a sonorous tone: "Not five yuan, but fifty yuan!"
Zheng Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and then said angrily: "Don't push yourself too hard, even five low-grade spiritual stones are enough for you to advance to the golden elixir stage. What's more, without the help of spiritual stones, do you think that in these two years?
, can you really advance to the golden elixir stage?"
"Hehe, if you are not willing, then forget it, I will only take him back to the Beast Control Sect so that he can be 'served' by him!" The bearded monk obviously didn't like rabbits and was determined to knock Zheng Chen off.
Bar.
In the opinion of the bearded monk, since Zheng Chen is willing to spend five yuan of low-grade spiritual stones in exchange for this liar, there must be a good relationship between the two. As for whether Zheng Chen can give fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, he will not care.
.
"Even if I can't get fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, at least I have to squeeze out this young boy!" This was the calculation in the mind of the bearded monk at this time.
"Don't fool me. I guess you are not a disciple of the Beast Control Sect. Otherwise, you must have entered the Beast Control Sect's mountain gate directly just now, instead of staying outside the mountain gate to cause trouble." Zheng Chenhao
He responded unceremoniously.
"You guessed it right, but so what, if you don't give me fifty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, I will still take this liar away. Moreover, although I am not a disciple of the Beast Control Sect, I have relatives in the Beast Control Sect.
Inside..." The bearded man said confidently.
"Let's do this, ten low-grade spiritual stones, this is my bottom line. If you still insist on not letting me go, then don't blame me for using force. Although this is outside the mountain gate of the Beast Control Sect, I am Luoxia after all.
As a disciple, and you still have some status within the Luoxia Sect, it’s hard to say whether the Beast Control Sect will take action against me because of you." Zheng Chen said with a hint of impatience and threat.
The bearded monk pretended to ponder for a moment again this time, and then he agreed to Zheng Chen's conditions with a look of regret.
Ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones were nothing to Zheng Chen. He took them out casually and handed them to the bearded monk while helping the stall owner up.
After accepting the spirit stone, the bearded monk could no longer suppress the joy on his face and ran away without waiting for Zheng Chen to greet him.
Zheng Chen, on the other hand, first used his skills to untie the hands and feet that the bearded monk had done on the stall owner, and then walked south. Zheng Chen asked unhappily: "Are you really a liar?"
"Well……"
The stall owner was obviously taken aback, then lowered his head and replied: "This is a complete accident. I found that jade slip from a cave abandoned by the predecessors in the Monster Forest. Although I can't understand the secret, but
I never imagined that it would be an ordinary thing, but I never thought that it would cause such trouble after selling it."
Zheng Chen just shook his head and did not complain about the stall owner. The stall owner expressed strong appreciation for Zheng Chen's current cultivation level in such a short period of time, but it attracted Zheng Chen's attention.
of rolling eyes.
Zheng Chen and the stall owner headed south, and there were naturally a lot of words to say. Let’s not mention this for now. Let’s also say that after the bearded monk got the spirit stone, he actually went to the Beast Control Sect. Of course, he passed the tests at all levels.
.
After finding his relatives, the bearded monk told what happened to him and Zheng Chen, and emphasized that Zheng Chen did not have the strength of the golden elixir stage, but he had immeasurable spiritual stones.
Sure enough, the cousin of the bearded monk who was practicing in the Beast Control Sect was very greedy. He had a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he was not afraid of a disciple of the Luoxia Clan who was not in the Golden Core stage.
Moreover, what happened today is quite secretive. If it is done cleanly, it should not be noticed by the Luoxia Sect masters.
As a result, the bearded monk and his middle-stage golden elixir cousin from the Beast Control Sect quickly left the mountain gate of the Beast Control Sect and galloped southward...
