That was because all the spiritual herbs and plants in Yanjing City had died, and the prices in this part of the city had risen a lot. After all, all the spiritual plants in Yanjing City had died, even those in the jade box had withered and died. If one wanted to make pills and treat illnesses, they could only buy materials from outside, so the prices of pills and spiritual plants naturally rose wildly.
He Xi thought of the herbs in his space and the large pile of first-grade pills he had just refined. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and a sly smile appeared in his eyes.
It seems that my chance to make a fortune has arrived.
The old beggar who was following beside him saw the change in He Xi's expression, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he smiled, "Oh, I wonder if you have seen the strange phenomenon a few nights ago. The commotion was so loud that even I, an old drunk, was awakened. Tsk tsk, I don't know which fool made such a big commotion for just a promotion. If it is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a disaster. As the saying goes, when there is a strange phenomenon, there must be a rare treasure. Although the major families are not making any movement on the surface, who knows how they are looking for the source of the strange phenomenon in secret! Hehe, the future of Yanjing City will definitely be very lively, right?"
As the old beggar spoke, he kept glancing at He Xi. There was something else in his words, and it was clear that he had already known that He Xi was the culprit behind the strange phenomenon.
He Xi was not surprised by this. When the old man wrapped her with spiritual power just now, she felt that everything about her could not be shielded, even the space and the secret of her own chaotic dantian.
However, there was no greed or murderous intent in the old beggar's eyes. Instead, there was only gloating and cunning of watching a good show.
He Xi said expressionlessly: "Oh, really? Such a magical scene, I also want to see it. It's a pity that I was not in the city that day, so I didn't see it."
The old man raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Little girl, this kind of lie may be fine to fool others, but if you want to fool an old man like me, you are too naive. If I am not mistaken, the seal in your body has just been lifted, right? This seal is not simple. If it was in its heyday, even if I were to lift it, it would take a lot of effort. If you want to lift the seal and advance, you will naturally need a lot of spiritual power. And if you calculate the time of your advancement, it seems to coincide with the time when the anomaly occurred."
At this point, the smile on the old man's face turned a bit evil. "You said, it was such a coincidence. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, would they suspect you? I'm afraid many noble families would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go, right?"
He Xi stopped and looked at him coldly, "What do you want?"
The old man was immediately alerted and quickly repeated his request, "Please take me as your master!" and then cook delicious meals for me every day!
He Xi shook his head without hesitation, "No!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your secret?" the old man said in disbelief. Why is this little girl so stubborn
He Xi sneered and spread his hands, "Please do as you please."
Even if she told others, what would happen? Without any evidence, what could they do to her? As long as Dandan's identity was not discovered, she really didn't believe that she would be hunted down by warriors from the entire Miluo Continent just because her Primal Chaos Dantian was unlocked.
As for those who really offend her, she will not show weakness and will return them a hundredfold!
Of course, the most important thing is that He Xi dared to conclude that it was too cheap to disclose other people's secrets. This old man who called himself Xuan Qing Zhenren would not bother to do it! (To be continued)
