"Sixty taels for the second time..."

The shopkeeper made a second quotation, but Gu Xiao still had no response. Although the people around him were full of interest, no one spoke, which made the shopkeeper even more panicked.

Because the young man who made the offer was the one who asked for it!

If Gu Xiao didn't ask for the price, then the box would really fall into his own hands.

The people around him stopped talking when they saw Gu Xiao, but the face of the young man who quoted the price showed panic. In this situation, it was basically certain that the shopkeeper and Gu Xiao were playing a double act.

"Hey! Brother, you are stupid! This guy is obviously a swindle, and you even ask for a price. You are fooled by this. Hey, you are still too young!"

A voice full of teasing sounded. After saying this, the speaker patted the young man on the shoulder, which made the young man want to cry.

This person's words also made Gu Xiao and the shopkeeper stunned at the same time.

After being stunned, Gu Xiao couldn't help but laugh. How could he still think of him as a bastard?!

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Xiao saw eye contact between the shopkeeper and the young man, and combined with their reactions, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, it's been so long since no one has called for the price. Isn't it time for you to give up? Things will change later!"

Gu Xiao suddenly spoke, with a look of eagerness on his face. Adding the words "Changes will come later" made the shopkeeper immediately change his expression, and the people around him became even more aware of it.

"This this……"

For a long time, the shopkeeper didn't say anything, and his forehead was even more sweaty.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao was completely sure that the young man who quoted the price was the shopkeeper's agent, and he sneered in his heart.

However, if this young man is a stooge, then his previous plan of switching the left hand to the right hand will be completely impossible, but if the price is raised... it is really disgusting!

It was disgusting, but people around him misunderstood that Gu Xiao was the trustee. Once the price was raised, the real trustee would never add more.

"Seventy taels."

The people around him were stunned and looked at Gu Xiao.

"Boy, your identity as a trap has been revealed, and yet you're still asking for a price. It's too funny! Haha!"

The people around burst into laughter, and in the midst of the laughter, some people teased the young man and asked him if he wanted to add more. This made the young man want to find a place to drill.

Unable to get off the tiger, the young man was about to speak, but felt a sharp gaze and quickly shut up.

"Seventy liang once, seventy liang twice, seventy liang three times, deal!"

The shopkeeper spoke very fast and handed the box to Gu Xiao as soon as he finished speaking. This operation made the people around him confused.

After receiving the box, Gu Xiao sneered, but simply paid the money. After waiting for the shopkeeper to make up for it, he said: "Next time I ask for help, find something professional."

Gu Xiao's words made the shopkeeper's face change, and he immediately became angry: "Boy, spend seventy taels to buy a piece of scrap metal, what can you be proud of?!"

The shopkeeper's tone was a bit angry. After hearing this, the people around him realized that they had misunderstood, and many people already looked bad.

But Gu Xiao smiled nonchalantly, because the box once again touched Gu Xiao's mind.

After Gu Xiao deliberately put his spiritual thoughts into the box, the box suddenly emitted a simple light.

"What...what's going on?!"

The sudden appearance of light made the shopkeeper stunned on the spot.

Just as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the light emitted from the box became more intense, illuminating the entire venue in an instant and attracting the attention of countless people.

"Little friend, can you sell this box to me?"

Just when everyone was confused, an old but energetic voice came, and an old man over sixty years old was seen standing next to Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao turned around and looked at the old man. He was over sixty years old, but he was full of energy and his face was quite kind.

"Sorry, this box is not for sale."

"I can buy it for ten thousand taels."

Wanliang?!

The old man's words made everyone take a breath, especially the shopkeeper, who felt endless regret in his heart and stared at the box in Gu Xiao's hand.

Gu Xiao was naturally shocked by the old man's arrogance, but there might be a big secret in this box, and even that sword art couldn't be measured by a thousand taels.

"Sorry, I won't sell it no matter how much money I pay."

Gu Xiao refused again, and his attitude was very firm, which made the old man's face show heavy disappointment.

"Isn't this Mr. Cheng Qinghe from Jubaoxuan? Why did you come to this blacksmithing workshop?"

At this moment, someone around him exclaimed, revealing the identity of the old man. After hearing "Ju Baoxuan", everyone gasped again.

Five thousand years ago, the Xian Qin Empire rose up and shocked the Cangkong Realm in less than a hundred years. The person behind the Xian Qin Empire's military spending was Jubaoxuan.

After the Xian Qin Empire reached its peak, the Emperor Dragon Pavilion was established as the pinnacle of martial arts, and Ju Baoxuan was established as the leader of the business world. With the support of the Xian Qin Empire, Ju Baoxuan has been passed down to this day, and its power has spread to every corner of the Cangkong Realm.

In a small country like Yue, even if the shopkeeper of a semicolon in a small town like Yukang City is met by the royal family, he has to give him three points of noodles.

After his identity was exposed, Cheng Qinghe's face regained its warmth and he asked Gu Xiao again: "In that case, can I lend this box to me?"

Understanding that the identity of Cheng Qinghe in front of him was not simple, and his attitude was quite polite. In addition, Cheng Qinghe was born in Jubaoxuan and had extraordinary knowledge. He might be able to discern something. Gu Xiao nodded and handed the box to Cheng Qinghe.

But just when Gu Xiao was about to raise his hand, his whole body tensed up, and a black shadow reached towards the box in his hand.

The black shadow was extremely fast, but Gu Xiao's reaction was even faster. He turned sideways to avoid the attack and looked coldly at the shopkeeper who had a ferocious expression on his face.

"Boy, give me the box, otherwise..."

There was a coldness in the threatening words, and Gu Xiao couldn't help but frown and snorted coldly.

"The deal has been reached, but you want to go back on your words. Is this the style of your blacksmith shop?"

Gu Xiao's words made the people around him nod in agreement, and their faces showed bad intentions. This behavior was really shameful.

But think about it, this box can interest even Cheng Qinghe, so it definitely has a secret. For a moment, desire appeared in the eyes of the onlookers.

Noticing the changes in the gazes around him, Gu Xiao frowned and secretly said trouble, but there was no trace of panic on his face.

Naturally, the shopkeeper noticed the change in the eyes of the people around him, and without hesitation, he struck Gu Xiao's palm first.

It's just that he is only at the fourth level of body tempering, and this palm seems to be strong, but it is not powerful at all.

But the place where this palm hit was Gu Xiao's Dantian!

"snort!"

Sensing the shopkeeper's intention, Gu Xiao's face turned completely cold. After snorting coldly, he punched out without dodging, hitting the shopkeeper's palm.

There was a click, and there was a clear sound of bone cracking in the shopkeeper's elbow. The severe pain made the shopkeeper scream, but as soon as he screamed, Gu Xiao kicked him in the chest again, and his body immediately flew out.

There were a few crashes, and the flying body knocked down a row of weapon racks. The shopkeeper's body twitched twice, and he actually lost his breath!

this……

Gu Xiao's face showed surprise. Even he didn't expect that he would be beaten to death with just one punch!

Gu Xiao was surprised, and the people around him were even more surprised. Seeing Gu Xiao kicking the shopkeeper to death, all thoughts of robbing him disappeared. After they all looked at Gu Xiao, they all turned and left.

But the commotion here also attracted more people's attention. After learning the whole story, someone who recognized Gu Xiao exposed Gu Xiao's identity.

"This good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Lin family is so brave that he actually beat the shop owner of the blacksmithing shop to death!"

"You are indeed brave, but I want to know how the Lin family will react when they find out about this?"

"What other reaction could there be? I would definitely drive him out of the house and leave him to fend for himself!"

For a moment, there was discussion around him.

Listening to these discussions, Gu Xiao snorted coldly. The matter had come to an end and it was useless to talk more. He ignored these people and left directly.

But before he took two steps, Cheng Qinghe appeared in front of him, blocking the way, which made Gu Xiao's expression even colder.

Seeing the change in Gu Xiao's expression, Cheng Qinghe quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, little friend, I just want to give you a suggestion."

"Suggestions?" Gu Xiao frowned: "Tell me and listen."

Seeing that Gu Xiao was interested, Chen Qinghe smiled faintly: "You beat the shopkeeper of the blacksmithing shop to death in full public view. You are already in trouble. Besides, this man is not guilty of having a jade in his possession..."

Cheng Qinghe kept silent, but the meaning of his words was already obvious. Gu Xiaoqing frowned, thought for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "Lead the way."

Seeing that Gu Xiao understood what he meant, Cheng Qinghe didn't show any pretense. After making a gesture of invitation, he took the lead and took the lead, with Gu Xiao following closely behind.

Not long after, Gu Xiao and Cheng Qinghe arrived at the branch of Jubaoxuan and entered a quiet room.

As soon as he sat down, Cheng Qinghe went straight to the point and stated his purpose: "Little friend, there are only you and me now, so you can rest assured to study."

Having already understood Cheng Qinghe's purpose, Gu Xiao put the box on the table without being pretentious.

Seeing Gu Xiao being so calm, Cheng Qinghe nodded secretly, looking at Gu Xiao with admiration in his eyes, but this look was fleeting. After all, studying the box was his main purpose.

Cheng Qinghe took the box in his hand and looked at it carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes wondering. After half a stick of incense, he ordered someone to fetch some treasure appraisal tools.

Unfortunately, half an hour passed without any movement from the box, but Cheng Qinghe's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"It's strange, this material is unheard of, and it's integrated and perfect. But since it's a box, there must be something hidden in the middle..."

After Cheng Qinghe finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, pushing the box towards Gu Xiao, obviously planning to give up, which made Gu Xiao also look disappointed.

Seeing Gu Xiao's disappointment, Cheng Qinghe smiled: "Little friend, you just made this box shine. It's not necessarily related to this box. Maybe you can open it."

Cheng Qinghe's words made Gu Xiao stunned for a moment, and then he nodded in agreement. Moreover, these words also made Gu Xiao think that perhaps he would need spiritual guidance to open the box.
