Zu An was stunned. Seeing her being so embarrassed, he couldn't help but be curious: "Even if you say so, we have been through troubles together and have taken a bath together... Ahem, the last sentence does not count, I mean we are
Friends, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Ji Xiaoxi withdrew her small fist that she had prepared to punch, and then said with some embarrassment: "Well, my father is refining a medicine recently, and he needs the material of Strong Black Jackal Treasure. As you know, after what happened today,
I’m afraid there won’t be any strong black jackals in the Jackal Valley in a short period of time, and it will be difficult to find this medicinal material by then. I wonder if you can sell some to me?”
Zu Anxin wanted to know what your reaction would be if you knew that I originally gave these to your father, but his mouth reacted faster than his brain: "How much are you prepared to pay?"
Ji Xiaoxi replied: "Ordinary dog treasures are not expensive, but the market price of the strong black jackal dog treasure is 10 taels of silver each."
Zu An was shocked, this thing is so expensive? But after thinking about it, he was relieved. You must know that the strong black jackal is ferocious in nature, and there may not be one out of ten. If you want to collect its dog treasures, you will risk your life.
I'm gambling. If you don't pay attention, the chrysanthemums will be everywhere and the corpses will be broken.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this right? At present, this thing in Mingyue City should be priceless." If it was available on the market, Divine Doctor Ji would have bought it long ago, so there would be no need to issue this mission.
He paused and then continued: "And you just mentioned that there will be no strong black jackals in the Jackal Valley in a short time. It can be expected that the price of this thing will skyrocket before long."
Ji Xiaoxi blinked and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense. I didn't expect this. I'm really sorry."
Zu An was dumbfounded. He originally just wanted to test her, but he didn't know that she actually took the initiative to apologize. This little girl really has a bit of a personality. Thinking of the appearance of Divine Doctor Ji, he couldn't help but wonder, is she really his biological child?
"Let's do this. I'll buy it at a unit price of thirteen taels... uh, no, fifteen taels of silver. Do you think that's okay?" Ji Xiaoxi looked at him expectantly, "I only have this little money."
Seeing her cautious look, Zu An couldn't help but sympathize with Divine Doctor Ji. What's the point of trying so hard to make money? With a daughter with such a messy personality, sooner or later she will end up as a cheap son-in-law.
"Okay, how much do you want to buy?" Zu An replied.
"Thank you!" A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Xiaoxi's eyes, "I want to buy ten. Is it too much?"
"No more, no more, these are all for you." Zu An laughed and handed over all the twelve dog treasures in the bag. Anyway, these things are also used for medical treatment fees, and it is useless to have more.
Now that one tael of silver is worth a total of 150 taels of silver, excluding the registration fee of 100 taels, there is still a net profit of 50 taels. I wonder if Ji will vomit blood if he finds out?
Ji Xiaoxi waved her hands hurriedly, her little face turning red: "No, no, I don't have that much money to buy it."
"The extra two coins are free of charge and will be given to you," Zu An put his hand on her shoulders and said carelessly, "We are friends!"
"Really?" Ji Xiaoxi looked surprised and couldn't help but say, "You are such a good person!"
"Don't hand out good guy cards casually." Zu An looked depressed and was about to say something when he suddenly exclaimed, "Hey? I... why does my hand hurt so much?"
Ji Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue: "Oh, I almost forgot. My dad put 'anti-salty pig hand ointment' on my clothes. I'll find an antidote for you right now."
Zu An seemed to have a picture of Divine Doctor Ji laughing loudly in his mind, thinking that it was no wonder that guy didn't worry about his daughter going into the mountains alone to collect medicine. It turned out that he had taken precautions all over her body. Ji Xiaoxi hurriedly took out one from her small backpack.
He put the porcelain bottle on his hand, pulled his hand in front of him, blew gently with his small mouth, and then looked at him nervously: "Does it still hurt?"
Looking at the little face as big as a palm in front of him, Zu An couldn't help but smile and said: "It hurt a lot at first, but it doesn't hurt anymore after you blow it on me."
Ji Xiaoxi's face suddenly turned red and she couldn't help but spat: "Not serious~"
Zu An couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Xi, are you so nice to everyone? If you meet other bad men, you will suffer."
Ji Xiaoxi subconsciously replied: "I won't let a man touch my body. You are different from a normal man."
Zu An: "..."
Do you think of me as a sister? It's a pity that the keyboard can't collect its own anger value, otherwise this time it will definitely explode.
Ji Xiaoxi also realized at this moment that there was something wrong with what she said, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I..."
Seeing her anxious look and not knowing how to explain it, Zu An gently touched her head: "Don't worry, we are friends, I don't mind."
Since she is treated as a sister, she should make good use of this advantage. In the past life, weren't there many scumbag men who pretended to be gay, then approached their female best friends, and then slept together and progressed to having sex with each other?
Bah, who is the scumbag? It’s not me!
While Zu An was wandering, he suddenly noticed Ji Xiaoxi looking at him with a very sympathetic look: "Well... I also have medicinal powder in my hair..."
Zu An looked at his hands that were swollen like black buns and couldn't help but feel like crying: Didn't you just take a shower?
…
On the way back to the city, a boy and girl were walking on a mountain path. The girl suddenly approached the boy, but the boy jumped aside as if he had been burned.
"Don't touch me!" Zu An stared at the girl opposite him with a wary expression.
Ji Xiaoxi looked apologetic and pouted a little aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now."
Zu An also knew that he was to blame just now, so it was unreasonable to blame her: "Okay, okay, you have nothing to be sorry for. In the end, it is also my own problem. By the way, the patch you made when you were in the water before
How is the water curtain made?"
When he came to this world, he was eager for all kinds of spiritual knowledge like a sponge absorbing water.
Ji Xiaoxi's eyes widened: "Were you peeking at me at that time?"
Zu An's head jumped and he forgot about this, and said hurriedly: "I just haven't heard you say it. I was a little worried so you opened your eyes slightly. Don't worry, I didn't see anything. You are not using water."
Is the curtain covering it?"
Ji Xiaoxi nodded doubtfully, and then replied: "Third-level practitioners can release their vitality over a short distance and form armor, air walls, etc. within three feet of the surrounding area. My water curtain also works on the same principle."
"So that's it." Zu An gradually figured it out. It seems that the second level makes the skin tougher, and the third level can release the true energy. I don't know what effect higher levels will have.
Ji Xiaoxi suddenly stopped and tilted her ears as if listening to something: "Brother Zu, did you hear anything?"
"What?" Zu An asked, why didn't he hear anything?
"There were sounds of fighting." Ji Xiaoxi's delicate eyebrows wrinkled, obviously she didn't like such fighting.
"Let's go quickly." Zu An subconsciously wanted to run. If he was a big boss, he wouldn't mind running over and pretending to be cool. But now, any little girl has a higher cultivation level than him, which proves that this world is really too dangerous, and he still can't.
It’s better to keep a low profile. Staying till the end is the right way to go!
"Let's go take a look. Maybe someone needs treatment." Ji Xiaoxi grabbed him, her eyes that had been weak before now became a little firmer.
Noticing her pure eyes, Zu An felt relieved: "Okay, but if it's too dangerous later, don't blame me for running away first. By the way, you didn't put poison on your hands, right?"
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Seeing his promise, Ji Xiaoxi's eyes smiled like crescent moons.
The two rushed over following the sound of fighting, and found a convoy being besieged by a group of men in black in another valley. The guards of the convoy were trying their best to resist the siege of the men in black, but the group of men in black was more numerous.
Moreover, it was obvious that he was very powerful and extremely ruthless in his moves. Many of the convoy's guards had already fallen into a pool of blood.
It is only a matter of time before the few remaining ones are solved.
Zu An noticed that all of the guards were dressed in white, with gold threads embroidered on their skirts, cuffs and other places. They all looked handsome and tall.
"It's so luxurious. The clothes of the guards are so luxurious." Zu An subconsciously looked at his rough clothes and felt a little aggrieved. Compared with them, these people are like the uncles in the Duke's palace. What the hell?
Just like a guard!
"But what's the use of wearing nice clothes? They're just silver pewter spearheads." Zu An noticed that they were retreating steadily, and he felt a little more balanced.
"They're from Black Wind Village!" Ji Xiaoxi exclaimed in a low voice. Although she was kind and innocent, she was not stupid. She did not rush out as soon as she arrived. Instead, she pulled Zu An and hid behind the bushes in the distance to observe.
Now that the overall situation below has been decided, rushing out will only cost her life in vain. But when she sees the people below being slaughtered, she feels extremely conflicted.
"Black Wind Village? With such a soy name, this copycat village is destined to be a character that cannot be put on the stage." Zu An couldn't help but complain.
"That's not the case," Ji Xiaoxi shook her head with a solemn expression, "Heifeng Village is a gang of bandits established by the thief Chen Xuan. These people are ruthless and have good cultivation. They have been robbing and killing people outside the city over the years.
Merchants, I don’t know how many people died in their hands.”
Zu An couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't we send troops to destroy them? There are so many masters in the city, can we just let them do whatever they want?"
Judging from the intelligence we have learned before, most of the high-end military forces in this world are officially incorporated, so even the official military forces of a city are definitely not something that these bandits can compete with.
Ji Xiaoxi explained: "Duke Chu and City Lord Xie have sent countless soldiers and horses to exterminate them over the years, but these people come and go like the wind, and every time the dragon appears but never ends. As soon as the soldiers and horses in the city arrive,
If the number of people is small, they will be eaten by them; if there are many people and horses, they will hide in the mountains and disappear; they will not appear again until the soldiers and horses in the city have withdrawn, so they have always been a serious problem for Mingyue City."
Zu An couldn't help complaining about the incompetence of the Chu family. When he was in the Chu family before, those people were all coaxing, but he didn't expect that they couldn't handle even a bandit.
Suddenly he realized something and asked: "Can the people in Heifeng Village successfully avoid the large groups of people suppressing bandits every time?" After receiving the confirmation, he couldn't help but sigh: "With this posture, there must be internal agents in the city who cooperate with them internally and externally.
ah."
Ji Xiaoxi nodded: "Brother Zu, you are so smart. My father said so too."
The sloppy, drunken middle-aged man who was greedy for money and loved reading albums of forbidden paintings came to mind in Zu An's mind. It was really hard to imagine him analyzing things seriously.
"Madam, let's hold them back, you go quickly!" A guard in white clothes responded to the enemy while turning back to the carriage behind him and said.
