Chapter 9: Buying and selling

Xiaoqiang was very curious about the divine empire mentioned by the woman named Yuan and asked hurriedly.

"You seem a little surprised? Also, where is the Empire of God?"

The Lord of White Tiger City did not hide it and said slowly.

"We are indeed surprised. The Divine Religion Empire is located to the east of the Chiyan Continent. It is the most powerful empire in the world. Anyone who comes out of it is without exception a strong man. And the homeless man you met can

Destroying a mountain peak, his strength is among the top in the divine empire, so why didn’t you ask him his name?”

Xiaoqiang said, "I wanted to ask too, but he didn't tell me at all. He said we were destined to meet again, and then disappeared."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Baihu City sighed.

"What a free and easy person, able to benefit others without expecting anything in return. I really want to meet this person."

Xiao Qiang said, "If the Lord of the City wants to meet you, wait until I meet that homeless man next time and tell him. I believe he would also like to see you, the Lord of White Tiger City."

The Lord of White Tiger City smiled and said nothing, then turned around and glanced at the nervous soldiers around him, and said slowly.

"Open the city gate and get out of here."

After saying this, the Lord of White Tiger City disappeared at the gate of the city, leaving everyone with expressions of amazement.

After the matter was settled, the woman surnamed Yuan had no intention of staying any longer, so she got on her horse and prepared to leave.

But at this time, a soldier guarding the city came forward and asked.

"General, what should we do with these three people?"

The woman surnamed Yuan said, "Let her go."

The soldier who asked the question seemed to be confused and was about to continue asking, but the woman named Yuan explained first.

"The three of them are just ordinary people and have nothing to do with the death of that soldier. There is another reason for this matter. Just follow my orders."

After saying that, the woman surnamed Yuan said to Xiaoqiang, "My name is Yuan Qian'er, I believe we will meet again."

After that, the woman surnamed Yuan rode away. As for Xiaoqiang and the other three, the soldiers guarding the city were puzzled but did not dare to disobey the order, so they had no choice but to let the three of them leave.

After entering White Tiger City, Xiaoqiang's parents were particularly surprised by Xiaoqiang's performance, especially after hearing that their son could use magic. The faces of the old couple were almost distorted with smiles, but after that they asked tirelessly.

Xiaoqiang felt helpless for a while.

Of course, the so-called homeless man was a lie made up by Xiaoqiang. Now he had to tell the lie in front of his parents. He racked his brains to calm down his parents.

After a long conversation, Xiaoqiang's mother remembered the time her father slapped her, and the two began to quarrel again. Fortunately, the father repeatedly apologized and the misunderstanding between the two was resolved.

After learning about her father's difficulties, her mother's expression when she looked at her father softened, and she held her father's arm like a little bird, unwilling to let go.

The father seemed a little uncomfortable with his wife's change. He wanted to take his arm out of his mother's arms, but his mother stopped him after several attempts. In desperation, his father allowed his mother to wrap her arm around him, and was surrounded by people around him.

When passers-by saw it, his old face turned a little red.

As for Xiaoqiang, he followed the two of them alone. When the two elders were not paying attention, he thrust his palms into the space behind him, and saw a green light suddenly appear from the shadow of the street, and disappeared into Xiaoqiang's sleeve in the blink of an eye.

After confirming that there was nothing strange about Xiaoqing in his sleeve, Xiaoqiang looked at the two elders who were intimate in front of him, thinking that through this incident, his mother might change his attitude towards his father. When he entered the magic academy, what would be the life of the two of them?

It won't be as chaotic as it used to be.

In their wild thoughts, the three of them came to the market in Baihu City. At first glance, the market seemed very lively with people coming and going.

Seeing such a lively scene for the first time, Xiaoqiang looked at this and that like a curious baby, and his legs couldn't help but want to walk into a nearby store to have a look.

Fortunately, Lu Feng noticed in time and pulled Xiaoqiang back, and warned him.

"Don't run around. People are coming and going here, so be careful and lose you."

Helpless, Xiaoqiang had no choice but to sit back in the carriage and continue to browse the bustling scene around him.

While wandering around, the three of them came to the entrance of a chamber of commerce called Booty Bay. After tying up their horses, Lu Feng took his wife and children in.

As soon as he entered the door, a dwarf with eyes came up to him and asked.

"Hello, my distinguished guests."

Being called a distinguished guest for the first time made Xiaoqiang's parents a little uncomfortable, but fortunately his father was well-informed and responded politely.

"Hello shopkeeper, we are here to sell things."

"Oh?" The dwarf looked up and down at the three people in front of him, and then said, "Please follow me."

Under the leadership of the dwarf, the three of them came to the living room on the first floor, where there were expensive tea tables and handicrafts, which made Xiaoqiang's mother feel envious.

After the three of them sat down, the dwarf asked, "What do you want to sell?"

Lu Feng took out the beast core from his mother's arms and handed it to the dwarf.

The moment the beast core appeared, an inexplicable light flashed in the dwarf's eyes. Then he took the beast core and took out a magnifying glass to look at it, as if he was looking at a beautiful piece of art.

Looking at the dwarf's careful inspection, Lu Feng felt uncertain for a while. After all, he had only heard about the value of the beast core and did not have an accurate figure in his mind. Unconsciously, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

After a while, the dwarf slowly took away the magnifying glass, put the animal core on the table and asked.

"Do you know what this is?"

The father nodded and said, "This is the animal core."

There was a hint of surprise in the dwarf's eyes.

"Yes, this is the animal core. How much do you want to sell it for?"

When asked about the price, Lu Feng said hesitantly.

"I don't know about this either. I just heard someone said that this beast core can be sold for twenty gold."

Lu Feng estimated a price, but his words and actions were seen right through by the dwarf.

"Twenty gold is not a small amount." The dwarf hesitated.

Hearing this, my father felt guilty and said hurriedly.

"How about you give me a price?"

The dwarf pretended to think for a while and then said.

"I see that you are not locals, and it is not easy to come to White Tiger City. Let me pay you two gold coins for this beast core."

When she heard that the beast core in front of her could only be sold for two gold, her mother suddenly became anxious.

"Shopkeeper, take a look again. This is a beast core. It can be sold for more than ten gold coins outside. Why can it only be sold for two gold coins here?"

The dwarf shook his head and pretended to sigh.

"If this beast core is complete, it's not an exaggeration to sell it for fifteen gold, but look at it."

The dwarf pointed at a black spot in the beast's core and continued.

"This beast core has been contaminated and its efficacy is extremely reduced. I give you two gold coins because it is not easy for you to come to White Tiger City. If you go outside, no one will accept this kind of goods."

Xiaoqiang's parents were not magicians, so they didn't understand what pollution meant. However, after hearing that a complete animal core could be sold for fifteen gold, her mother immediately said.

"Shopkeeper, you just said that a complete beast core can be sold for fifteen gold. Although this is contaminated as you just said, it is still a beast core. Why is there such a big price difference?"
