Chapter 118: There is a reason for being treacherous and loving money

Views:

Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun were not polite and tasted a few fruits. These fruits are indeed unusual and can barely be regarded as spiritual fruits. Although the little spiritual energy contained in it is not enough to consume years of cultivation, it makes the taste quite good.

Of course, what two people tasted is not as much as what the fat little black man could destroy by himself. It was said that it was used to entertain guests, but the little black fat man didn't stop talking from the beginning, and most of the fruit still went into his stomach.

"Glenn, look at what you look like. You've been out there for several years, and you haven't learned anything good at all!" Seeing this, the thin, dark old man couldn't help but yelled angrily.

But these words made Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun feel a little dumbfounded. What does it mean that I didn’t learn anything good from outside? I learned all the bad stuff from outside, right

But the fat little black man wiped his lips and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I've been out here for several years, and I haven't tasted anything from our mountains for so long. Can't you take pity on me?"

The thin black old man glared at the fat little black man, then turned to look at Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun, and asked: "Two guests, listen to my grandson, are you here for that strange stone from outside the territory?"

This can be considered as getting straight to the point. Ye Zan nodded and said: "Yes, I originally bought an exotic stone from Glenn. I went back to study it and found it to be quite useful to me. I thought it was the only one, but I didn't expect to get it from Glenn later." I know that there seems to be more than one of these exotic stones, so I asked him to lead the way and visit the elder here to see if I can buy more exotic stones."

When the thin black old man heard this, he couldn't help but glared at the fat little black man again. Although Ye Zan said it simply, the old man could basically guess what happened in the middle based on his understanding of his grandson.

The fat little black man shrank his neck in response to the glare, but continued to stuff fruit into his mouth, looking like a starved ghost reincarnated.

"Let the guests laugh! This boy Glenn has lost his parents since he was a child, and I have neglected to control him, so that he has developed such a lazy temper now." The thin black old man said to Ye Zan with some apology. He Qi Qianjun explained.

"The elders are serious. I think this little brother has a good character. At least he won't suffer any disadvantages outside." Ye Zan waved his hand and said.

"Oh, I'm afraid that he won't suffer the consequences!" The thin black old man sighed, with a bit of worry in his expression.

Indeed, no matter where you are, it is almost impossible for a person to avoid suffering everywhere. And if you are unwilling to suffer, it means that others will suffer, or for some people, not taking advantage means suffering, and this will offend others.

If you have enough strength, even if you take advantage of it, others will not dare to do anything to you. The scary thing is that you don't have enough strength, but you want to avoid suffering everywhere, and this can easily lead to trouble, or even death.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this brat, let's talk about this strange stone from outside the territory." After saying this, the black and thin old man stood up, turned around and went to the inner room, and soon came out with two stones.

Looking at the appearance of these two stones, Ye Zan knew that these were two strange stones from outside the territory, not much different from the two stones in his hand. However, the size of these two stones is smaller than the two stones he bought, and their shapes are also different.

After taking out two stones, the thin black old man gave them to Ye Zan directly, and then said: "Although this stone is a strange stone from outside the territory, it is of no use to us. The customer bought the stone at a high price, and I I felt very uneasy after hearing this, so I gave these two pieces to the guests as compensation. "

"Grandpa!" When the little fat black man heard this, he suddenly became anxious. You know, the stone that was sold to Ye Zan before was sold for nine high-grade spiritual stones. Although these two pieces are smaller now, they are at least worth a few pieces of high-grade spiritual stones. How could they just give them away like this

"Shut up, if you don't change your temper, don't leave the village anymore, so as not to bring disaster to the village!" The thin black old man scolded angrily, and it was completely different from the previous joking scolding.

However, Ye Zan didn't want to take the other person's things for nothing, and said quickly: "Elder, don't get me wrong, I came here just to buy this strange stone from outside the territory, not to pursue anything. So, what is the price of these two stones? That’s what the price is.”

"Guests don't have to refuse. Isn't there a saying outside the mountains, 'Don't dare to refuse a gift from an elder'? These two stones are of no use if I keep them here. Just think of them as gifts from me to you two." The thin black old man said very insistently.

Faced with the persistence of the dark and thin old man, Ye Zan was actually a little helpless. He really doesn't want to take advantage of this. If he spends money to buy it, it is a transaction. After the transaction, you are you and I am me. But if it is for free, then it is a favor, and the debt of favor cannot be repaid with money.

However, what can Ye Zan say? Should he just say "I don't want to owe you any favors, so I'll take as much as I need"? If you really say that, I'm afraid they will just collect the things and not sell them to you. What can you do!

In desperation, Ye Zan had no choice but to take the two stones, and then thanked them again. This favor was considered to be owed.

However, with the thought of not having to worry about having too many lice and not having to worry about too many debts, Ye Zan put away the two stones and asked, "Excuse me for being presumptuous. I would like to ask, but I don't know who this strange stone from outside the territory is." Where did it come from? Are there any more? Of course, elders, please rest assured that since I have accepted this gift, if there is any more, it must be a fair transaction."

Ye Zan asked this because he heard from the little black fat man that this stone was not an ancestral object at all, but that the thin black old man seemed to have gotten it from somewhere. So, there is a question. Are these four strange stones the only place where these strange stones were discovered

Sometimes, it cannot be called greedy. The human mind is very strange. When you wash rice, if you find a bug in the rice, you may just pick it out casually. However, if two or three are found, then some people will be confused. Will there be more bugs in the rice

In the same way, if there was only one strange stone, Ye Zan would not think about whether there were more. But the current situation is that four of these so-called extraterrestrial stones have appeared, so will there be more

The black and thin old man hesitated for a moment, and after sitting back in his seat, he finally said slowly: "I actually picked up this strange stone from another place. I thought it was a treasure at first, but later I found out that it couldn't be used at all. ”

"Oh, but I wonder if the elder can tell me where you picked it up?" Ye Zan asked quickly.

"This..." The black and thin old man hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that that place is quite dangerous. The old injuries on my body were left when I escaped from there."

After hearing this, Ye Zan realized that it was no wonder that this dark and thin old man looked quite weak and did not look like a practitioner at all. It turned out to be due to the injuries on his body.

"But I don't know what the elder's original cultivation was, and he was injured like this!" Ye Zan asked in surprise.

"We Gu refiners are different from you cultivators. My grandpa has already reached the fifth level of cultivation, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul realm of you cultivators." The little black fat man explained beside him.

It turns out that this person who specializes in Gu Dao will be planted with the natal Gu when he is born, and then the natal Gu will transform into a transformation every time. Therefore, the life Gu transforms five times, which is called the fifth transformation state, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul state of a Taoist.

Ye Zan was even more surprised when he heard this explanation. The strength of the Nascent Soul Realm actually escaped from that place, and the injuries on his body made his cultivation almost useless. It can be seen that that place is indeed extremely dangerous.

"I sold that stone to you just to exchange it for some spiritual stones so that I can buy a Golden Pill to save my grandpa. I hope it can cure his injury. Unfortunately, at this Alchemy Conference, there was no Golden Pill to save my grandpa. "The fat little black man said very disappointedly.

In fact, the little black fat man thought too simply. Even if there was a golden elixir for crossing the earth, it would still be far beyond what a few high-grade spiritual stones could buy. It was an elixir that was said to be able to overcome all hardships and cure all injuries, and its effects were unparalleled. Not to mention the heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed for refining, just asking the Alchemy Master to help refining the elixir would cost far more than a few high-grade spiritual stones.

"I know a little bit about medicine. If the elder doesn't mind, could you let me take a look at the injury?" Ye Zan asked the black and thin old man. The opportunity to return the favor came. Although he couldn't guarantee that he would definitely be able to heal the other person's injuries, how would he know without taking a look

"Okay, then I'll pay you a visit." The thin, dark old man stretched out his withered arms without being pretentious. No one wants to die, but when they are desperate and helpless, they use openness to comfort themselves and their loved ones, and retain a trace of dignity for themselves.

However, Ye Zan waved his hand and said, "Forgive me, elder. I don't need to check your pulse. I just need the elder to take this thing." As he spoke, he touched the Qiankun Ring with his hand and spread his palm. , there is an extra nanocapsule in the palm of your hand.

The thin, dark old man glanced at Ye Zan, reached out to take the capsule, and without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and threw the capsule in.

Do you want to say that you are not worried about poisoning? Just kidding, if someone dared to poison him, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the village. Moreover, one characteristic of those who refine Gu is that ordinary poisons are useless to them. Unless there is some strange poison that ranks among the best in the world, it will be difficult to poison them.

Therefore, the thin black old man swallowed the capsule happily, and even the fat little black man next to him didn't think there was anything wrong. Ye Zan, on the other hand, prepared a bunch of explanations that were all useless. (To be continued.)
