In one of the streets of Yutiao Mountain City, a little scoundrel with tattered robes and a big scoundrel walking aimlessly on the streets were walking aimlessly. The big scoundrel would always hold a fragrant barbecue in his hand and enjoy it happily.
As he gnawed, his mouth was full of oil.
"Boss, you see, I have led you around half of Yutiao Mountain City. Can't you buy some magic weapons? At the very least, you can buy a few talismans!" the little rogue said with a sad face.
"Why? I don't have the treasure I'm interested in!" the big scoundrel replied as he gnawed on the barbecue.
"Oops! Boss, to be honest, it took me two days to earn you a mid-level crystal stone, and I didn't even have a bite of food. If we were like you, we would have nothing to do in this industry. If we don't starve to death,
You'll be exhausted too!" The little scoundrel sat down on the street and said angrily.
"Hey, you are playing tricks on me! Tour guide? I'm guiding you! Even though the tour guide fee is low, you can only take me to black shops. Look at the shops you take me to. A low-level talisman contains three mid-level crystal stones.
You think I'm being taken advantage of! Hey, you deserve it if you don't get the kickback!" The big scoundrel took the roasted meat and pointed at the little scoundrel and yelled.
"Ah? Boss, how do you know this? Didn't you say it was your first time in Yutiao Mountain City?"
"Tch! The people in my hometown who are doing this business are much smarter than you. As soon as you raise your butt, I know you are going to poop and pee!"
"Woooo! What a big loss! I can't beat you again and again, and I can't deceive you again and again. Boss, just treat me like a fart and let me go?" The little rogue cried out.
"Huh? Playing with tragedy? It's useless. I don't accept this trick. The contract is clearly written. Within ten days, you are at my disposal. I will pay you a mid-level spar for the tour guide fee. If you want to regret it, you can.
Give me back ten mid-level crystal stones, or go to the city lord's mansion to argue!" the big rogue thief said with a smile.
This person is none other than the sloppy-looking Tianjiu. In the past two days, he has been hanging out in the low-level monk area of Yutiao Mountain City. On the one hand, he has become familiar with the general appearance of Yutiao Mountain, and on the other hand, he has adjusted his breath and restored his damaged consciousness.
ontology.
However, due to the hardships of the tour guide Xiao Xizi, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he originally wanted to obtain nine strokes of spar in the black sky, but unexpectedly he met an old man and couldn't beat him, and he couldn't be tricked.
"Okay, stop howling in mourning! Let's go to the high-level area. There may be something I want there." Tianjiu kicked Xiao Xizi and said.
"High-end area? Just you? If you don't dislike Han Chan, why should I?"
"What are you talking about? Just leave as soon as I tell you. You don't want the crystal anymore?" Tianjiu picked his teeth and said casually.
"Spar! How much can you give me?" Xiao Xizi's eyes widened and she got up.
"Hehehe, not much. Every time I buy something, I will give you a mid-level crystal stone."
"Wow -!" Xiao Xizi laughed through tears, "Okay, okay! I'll take you there right now, um, let's go to Chengyufang first. There may be cheap things there."
"Cheng Yufang?"
"Yes, that's it. The prices in other stores are so expensive that even if you have the wealth of a foundation-building monk, you won't be able to afford it. Only this Chengyufang is a large store that is about to close down. It used to be one of the top giants in that area.
Ba, I heard that the boss behind the scenes was in trouble and had to sell the treasures. I have been selling them for more than half a month, and I don’t know if I can still find something."
Xiao Xizi said as she started to push ahead to clear the way.
Cheng Yufang is located at the southern edge of Gaojiefang City in Yutiao Mountain City. It has three entrances and three exits, and is a three-story palace building. The boss behind the scenes is said to be a large immortal cultivating family in Dingzhou. Dingzhou has been in chaos recently, resulting in a shortage of goods.
Business also plummeted.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any other good treasures?" Tianjiu and Xiao Xizi walked into Chengyufang, Xiao Xizi asked first.
Shopkeeper Hua raised his head, glanced at the two people standing in the store, and said, "Baby? What baby do you want? I have a magic weapon here, a dog-beating stick, do you want it?"
"Huh, Old Man Hua, you're blind, aren't you! My boss is here to buy the baby today. Since when did you Cheng Yufang become so snobbish?" Xiao Xizi said displeased. Obviously, he knew the shopkeeper of Cheng Yufang.
"Huh?" Shopkeeper Hua was stunned and turned pale with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Master Xian, I'm just confused! Look at my shop being empty, what kind of treasures can I sell? Alas, Dingzhou is in chaos, and this shop is also empty.
It’s closing!”
Tianjiu took a closer look at the old man Hua in front of him. He was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, his eyebrows and beard were all white, and he looked very old.
"Shopkeeper Hua, how is the war situation in Dingzhou now? Is it really having such a big impact on your store?" Tianjiu asked puzzledly.
"Hey, little brother, you don't know something. Two years ago, I was just a handyman here, not a shopkeeper. When the war broke out, most of the monks in the family rushed to the battlefield, leaving dead and injured. In such a big family, there are only a few left.
There are no less than a few people left. This shop is also in the transfer room. I just hope to raise some crystal stones so that I can take my grandson back to my hometown. In a few days, there may not be a Chengyufang!" Shopkeeper Hua shook his head and sighed.
"Ah?" Tianjiu was stunned: "Why don't your family master care about this place? I heard that your family master's family is very large, and there are many monks with advanced cultivation levels."
"Alas! I'm not afraid of my little brother's jokes. The family leader, Jin Dan, died a few months ago at the end of his golden elixir stage! Not even the family elders or the Supreme Elders are left. They were all killed by those bald donkeys!" said Shopkeeper Hua!
When I got here, my eyes were moist.
"I'm sorry, old man, we shouldn't mention your sadness." Tianjiu said hurriedly, seeing a child squatting vaguely behind the tall counter of the store, with most of his head exposed.
Tianjiu smiled and took out a roasted pig leg, beckoned and said: "That's your grandson, right? It's not easy! Come on, little friend, uncle will give you a piece of meat to eat!"
As soon as the little boy smelled the aroma of meat, he slowly walked out from behind the counter, with a long sigh flowing from his mouth. The boy was wearing a small silver cassock. Judging from the aura that emerged, he seemed to be of high quality.
Not low.
"Oh, take it! You haven't eaten meat for a long time and you've fainted." Shopkeeper Hua nodded and motioned for the little boy to take it.
The little boy was overjoyed. He took the piece of meat from Tianjiu's hand and took a big bite. As soon as he took it into his mouth, he suddenly looked stunned and quickly ran to Shopkeeper Hua with the piece of meat.
"What's wrong?" Shopkeeper Hua's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the piece of meat and examined it carefully, thinking there was something wrong with the meat.
"Third-grade pork!" Shopkeeper Hua growled in a low voice.
"Huh? Do you know him?" Tianjiu asked unexpectedly.
He has been eating barbecued meat from the third-grade spiritual pig during this period. He found that eating the meat from the third-grade spiritual pig not only filled his belly, but also tasted very good. The most important thing was that the meat was rich in spiritual energy, and he was actually swallowing it.
After eating it, it will not be excreted from the body. Although the absorption speed of spiritual energy is not as fast as that of swallowing ten thousand year Ganoderma lucidum before, it is more than a star and a half faster than meditating.
He was still considering whether to get some special spiritual pork to eat, but when he thought about eating a lot of crystal stones into his belly, he felt extremely painful in his heart, so he gave up temporarily.
"Brother, where did your meat come from? If I'm right, this meat jade can't be produced in Lingzhou." Shopkeeper Hua held Tianjiu's arm with a skinny hand, and you could feel that his hand was still trembling.
.
Tianjiu was about to reply when a mocking sound sounded after him.
"Hey hey hey! Shopkeeper Hua, this treasure is gone and all the people are gone. Is it time for this store to be sold?"
A fat man walked into the store. He weighed at least three to five hundred kilograms, and even the bluestone floor was a little trembling. Judging from his cultivation, he was actually in the early stage of foundation building.
"Senior Brother Zhu, you're here!" Shopkeeper Hua let go of Tianjiu and hurriedly said.
"Hehehe, now I am not your Senior Brother Zhu. Please open your old eyes and see what kind of cultivation I have now?" Fatty snorted.
"Ah...? Zhu...Uncle Zhu? Have you advanced to the foundation building stage?" Shopkeeper Hua's face changed drastically, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Hmph! Zhu is not very talented. He advanced to Foundation Building the day before yesterday. How about it? If you are afraid, just transfer this shop to me as soon as possible. Master Zhu, my patience has its limits."
Fatty sat down on the counter, and the jade counter creaked continuously.
"Zhu...Uncle Zhu, I said that there is no problem with the transfer, but your bid is too low, only one thousand mid-level crystals. I can't even pay the city lord fees I have owed over the years. How can I agree to this?
." The flower shopkeeper replied while wiping his sweat.
"The offer of one thousand crystals a month ago was already very high, but now the price has changed, five hundred mid-level crystals. If you don't agree, hey, hey, I, Fatty Zhu, can bite people, right, kid?"
Fatty narrowed his eyes and looked at the little boy and said.
"What? Five hundred! You surnamed Zhu are going too far! Three years ago, I, Cheng Yufang, saved you. You were only at the eighth level of Qi Refining at that time, and your hands and feet were broken. If I hadn't saved you, you would have died long ago.
It's a wilderness. A year ago, when my young master was here, you flattered me a hundred times and said you would always be my guardian slave of Cheng Yufang. Now, you actually... actually took advantage of others' danger and added insult to injury...!" Shopkeeper Hua pointed with trembling hands.
Fatty said.
"Bah! Old ghost!"
Fatty spitted on the ground: "It was in the past. Is it the same as now? A year ago, there were a lot of foundation-building monks here, and the old monsters of Jindan came to stay from time to time. Do I dare to think about it then? Besides,
Weren't you also a sweeper at that time? Now, you have become the shopkeeper in a decent manner. With your level of cultivation, you are not ashamed! Before you die, please transfer this shop to me as soon as possible. You don't know
, there is a large crowd of people watching from behind!"
"You...you...you!" Shopkeeper Hua covered his chest and almost choked his breath.
"What are you? You old man, how dare you point at me! Four hundred crystals! Now I only have four hundred mid-level crystals!" Pang Dun rolled his eyes and shouted.
"Hahaha! It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" Tianjiu, who had been standing aside to watch the excitement, looked up to the sky and laughed.
Fatty was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there were two people like Tianjiu and Xiao Xizi standing in the store. He saw clearly that Tianjiu was only at the eighth level of Qi refining, and his expression became relaxed.
"Why are you laughing? Get out of here, you sensible people! You are a Qi-refining cultivator, but you are still a little bastard with mixed spiritual roots of the Five Elements!" Fatty scolded him while violently releasing his pressure.
Xiao Xizi and the boy fell to the ground with a bang, while Shopkeeper Hua also took a few steps back with a bang before he could stand upright.
Only Tianjiu took out a pig leg as if nothing had happened and started to chew on it.
