"One gold coin." The owner of the stall was obviously very good at business. When he saw Ning Cheng and the girl in the sarong holding a beaded flower each, he immediately opened his mouth.
What's more, today's Nanyuan City is full of outsiders. Not to mention one gold coin, even ten gold coins, as long as someone takes a fancy to it, someone will buy it.
The girl in the sarong skirt shook her hands slightly and repeated in disbelief, "A pair of beaded flowers like this costs one gold coin? How is this possible..."
In her opinion, even if this pearl flower is exquisite and beautiful, it only costs dozens of copper coins at most, or even less than one silver coin.
The stall owner said calmly, "My beads are all unique, there will never be a second pair, and they are all handmade by the forging masters in the Imperial City. How can this price be said to be expensive? Besides, I said
It’s one gold coin per flower, not one gold coin per pair.”
Ning Cheng also knows that this boss is talking a lot, but now let alone one gold coin, even a thousand gold coins is not much money to him. What's more, gold coins are becoming less and less useful to him. What he needs now is
The spiritual stone, even the energy gathering stone, won't be of much use if he comes.
"Boss, I'll give you one gold coin, will you sell me these two beaded flowers?" The girl in the sarong skirt looked at the beaded flower in Ning Cheng's hand, gritted her teeth and said. She came to Nanyuan this time.
Cheng was going to participate in the selection of Mingxin Academy, but she loved this beaded flower so much, and holding this beaded flower, she had an extremely peaceful feeling. She felt that this beaded flower was made for her.
Ever since she was a child, she had never spent so much money on a small hair ornament.
"No." The boss said decisively, while looking at Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng could tell from the tone of the girl in the sarong that she loved the pair of beaded flowers. But he definitely needed this pair of beaded flowers. He was pleasantly surprised to see the same pair of beaded flowers in Nanyuan City.
It is impossible to express it at all. This is not something that can be represented by simply refining two pearl flowers. For Ning Cheng, this is a kind of divine will.
The girl also looked at Ning Cheng. There was hope in her eyes. She hoped that Ning Cheng would give her the pearl flowers. She was not a fool. She obviously saw that the reason why the stall owner raised the price was not because of this.
Pearl flowers are really so precious because someone competes with her, and this person who competes with her is standing next to her now.
Ning Cheng cast an apologetic look at the girl and said, "I'm really sorry, these pairs of pearl flowers mean a lot to me. Can you please give me your love and give me the pearl flowers in your hand? I am willing to give you another pair.
You can choose any of the pearl flowers you want."
This girl in a sarong looked very rustic, but Ning Cheng found that she was no worse in appearance than An Yi, and her eyes were even brighter and clearer. Those innocent eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and then let her
People couldn't bear to refuse. But Ning Cheng was sure that she had never practiced and there was no fluctuation of her true energy.
After hearing Ning Cheng's words, the girl frowned slightly. It was not because Ning Cheng was unwilling to transfer the Pearl Flower to her. She knew that in Nanyuan City, she was the only one who valued a gold coin so highly.
People.
The reason why she frowned was because Ning Cheng said he would give her a pair of pearl flowers, which made her feel that this person was a bit too frivolous. Men do not give pearl flowers to women casually.
She shook her head, put down the beaded flower in her hand and said, "It's better not to separate this pair of beaded flowers. Since it means something to you, I'll give it to you."
Her tone was soft and demure, as if it was natural for her to give up Zhuhua to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng quickly took out two gold coins and handed them to the stall owner, and then thanked the girl in the sarong skirt, "Thank you very much. You can choose a pair of pearl flowers, I will give them to you."
The girl in the sarong skirt refused directly this time, "No, what I like is the pair of snowflake-shaped beads. I don't want others to give them to me. I can afford two gold coins."
Ning Cheng had no way of saying this. He was not willing to give away a pair of beaded flowers that he missed his sister Ruolan to a stranger.
There was a person on the side who could see clearly and sneered with some disdain, "A man is actually competing with a woman for a pearl flower."
The girl in the sarong was obviously afraid of causing a bigger dispute and did not dare to say anything. She quickly turned around and walked into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.
Ning Cheng ignored what others said. He directly put away the pearl flowers and did not leave. Instead, he asked the owner of the stall, "Boss, are all the people who come to Nanyuan City going to participate in the selection of Mingxin Academy?
Although Mingxin Academy is big, it can’t support so many people, right?”
The stall owner was in a good mood after earning two gold coins. After hearing Ning Cheng's words, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, "How is that possible? Although there are many people here, most of them are here to talk to us.
People in the city are robbing business. Later you go to the Spiritual Root Testing Plaza, where there are stalls from outside. The number of people Mingxin Academy wants has nothing to do with the people who come, it just has something to do with spiritual root cultivation and understanding."
"Linggen test square?" Ning Cheng asked a little confused.
The stall owner took the trouble to answer, "You are not here to participate in the selection of Mingxin Academy, are you? Generally, those who come to participate in the selection will go to the Spiritual Root Testing Plaza to take the first Spiritual Root Test. There is only the first Spiritual Root Test.
Only those who pass will be eligible to enter Mingxin Academy to participate in the second spiritual root test."
After saying that, the boss was afraid that Ning Cheng didn't understand very well, so he said with great pride, "Our Mingyi Zhenguo's Mingxin Samsung Academy is recruiting disciples this time. It's not easy. If you are selected, you might be able to reach the sky in one step."
"Oh, what's going on?" Ning Cheng was really curious. Being selected for Mingxin Samsung Academy must be a great honor and luck, but it won't make you reach the sky in one fell swoop.
The stall owner was extremely proud, as if Mingxin Samsung Academy was his private property, "Have you heard of Huazhou? There are nine continents in Yixing Continent, among which Huazhou has the richest spiritual energy among the three lower-level continents. If not
If the location is not good, you can move it to an intermediate continent."
"I know, I know, but I still need to ask for more details." Ning Cheng quickly lowered his posture and clasped his fists, saying that he was really planning to go to Huazhou.
The stall owner was very satisfied with Ning Cheng's attitude. He didn't even bother to attend to his own business and explained to Ning Cheng carefully, "I heard that there are five major five-star colleges in Huazhou, and there will be one of the most important competitions in the lower continent in three years.
It will be held between these five five-star colleges. Once which five-star college wins the competition, it will receive great benefits.
In order to take the top spot in three years, these five major colleges will recruit the best disciples in Pingzhou, Yuanzhou and Huazhou at the same time. The colleges that can participate in sending outstanding disciples are all colleges with three stars or above. My Mingxin College is a natural choice
Belonging to one of them, as long as you are selected by Mingxin College, you will have the opportunity to go to Huazhou Five-Star College."
"Then what great benefits did the college get?" Ning Cheng asked subconsciously. He was really curious about the great benefits that even the five-star college cared about.
"I don't know about that." The stall owner felt a little embarrassed.
"I can know, but you need to sell me the pearl flower you just bought back." A hoarse buzz sounded next to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng turned around and saw an extremely stout young man. Not only was this young man extremely stout, but he was also wearing coarse clothes. Ning Cheng immediately guessed that this young man must be related to the girl in the sarong who left just now.
.
When Ning Cheng saw this, he first thanked the boss, and then said to the young man, "Since my friend wants pearl flowers, let's go to a quiet place to talk."
Zhuhua Ningcheng didn't want to give it, but he wanted to know some information. This young man seemed to have no background, and seemed to know more than the stall owner.
The young man didn't think much about it at all. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, you lead the way. No matter what you ask, I will tell you what I know. The condition is that you give me the pearl flower."
He seemed to be very straightforward, but he could see Ning Cheng's purpose at a glance.
Ning Cheng did not take this young man to a rest house. The rest houses and restaurants in Nanyuan City were already overcrowded, and he could not find a quiet place to sit.
Ning Cheng just took the young man to a secluded place with fewer people, and said bluntly and politely, "Friend, that pearl flower is of extremely important significance to me, and I can't give it to you. But I did just give it to you.
When I arrived at Nanyuan City, I didn’t understand many things, so I still had to ask for advice.”
The reason why he chose this young man to ask was because Ning Cheng could see that the other person was an extremely honest person and had never practiced. It would be safer to ask him than to ask some people who had practiced. Otherwise, he would have gathered energy all at once.
If the monk came to Nanyuan City and didn't know what happened to Mingxin Academy to recruit disciples, it would definitely arouse suspicion. If it were somewhere else, forget it, but here he has an enemy Lan Yinyue.
After listening to Ning Cheng's words, a trace of sadness flashed in the young man's eyes, "My sister was a little depressed when she found me before. I have never let her suffer any injustice since she was a child. After I asked her, I found out that the pearl she was interested in was
The flowers were bought by others."
"Then how did you know it was me?" Ning Cheng blurted out. There were so many people on the street, and the girl in the sarong skirt had been gone for a long time. He delayed leaving because he had a question to ask the stall owner. It stands to reason.
He said that the young man didn't see him buying anything, so he probably didn't know that he bought the pearl flowers.
The young man took out a handkerchief with some embarrassment and said, "I said I would definitely get it back for her, so she drew a portrait for me. I recognized this person at a glance as you..."
Ning Cheng was stunned when he saw the portrait on the handkerchief. There are still people with such skill in the world. There are only a few strokes in this portrait, but his image is completely sketched on the handkerchief. This simple lifelikeness and the image captured by the digital camera
The realism is completely comparable, even more realistic when drawn by this hand.
Ning Cheng has always boasted that his memory and analytical skills are unparalleled, but today he learned that he is not the only one with a strong memory. With a simple glance, he can outline his facial expressions and every detail. This requires
