"Hey, Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Do you have some difficulties? How about you tell me how many blood stones you have on your hands first?"
Mo Ming saw that Li Dao hadn't spoken for a long time, and he felt a little unsure.
Regardless of what he just said was reasonable and sound, in fact, it was all nonsense. It would be bad if he scared this little fat sheep away.
"Sorry, little brother Mo, I came out this time with only seven blood stones, plus the eleven I took from those bandits, so, so..."
"So you only have eighteen dollars now?"
"In fact, there are only fifteen yuan left. I used three yuan while practicing on the road..."
“…”
Mo Ming really didn't know what to say. 15 versus 100, the gap was really not that big!
But, having said that, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. What’s more, the meat has already been brought to your mouth. If you don’t eat it, you will be struck by lightning!
Besides, they have even revealed their family assets, so he won't get anything no matter how hard he forces him. On the contrary, if he really forces this little fat sheep away, it will be more than he loses.
"Ahem!"
Mo Ming thought for a while and said:
"Master Li, to be honest, the price of fifteen pieces of bloodstone is really not that low. It doesn't even cover the production cost of this forbidden weapon. If it were offered by someone else, I would definitely not accept it!"
"But, I see that Mr. Li, you are an upright person, and you and I hit it off right away. Let's just think of it as me earning a discount. I did this business. Who said we were destined to be together?!"
"This this… "
Originally, Li Daoyi felt that he had been tricked by Mo Ming, but when Mo Ming said this, he felt embarrassed...
Although fifteen blood stones were much more expensive than last time, compared with the price of "one hundred blood stones", it was much cheaper, and it also included the kindness of saving his life.
After a moment, he seemed to have made some kind of decision and said:
"Brother Mo, if you treat me with sincerity, I will naturally not let you do a loss-making business."
As he spoke, Li Daoyi reached into his arms and took out a strange object the size of a fist.
This thing has six sides and six corners, and strange patterns are carved on both sides, which is very mysterious.
"Fifteen blood stones, plus this "divine stone talisman" should be enough!"
Stone Talisman is a kind of spell used by cultivators. It is similar to formation technique and can release a very special power.
If this magical stone talisman is activated, it can make the cultivator run like the wind and increase the speed by several levels. It can be called a life-saving artifact.
Li Daoyi got this by chance and kept it close to him in case of emergency.
Now, he didn't want to owe Mo Ming, so he could only use this stone talisman that he had treasured for many years to block it.
Mo Ming actually didn't know much about these things, but just by looking at Li Daoyi's painful look, he knew that this was definitely good stuff.
He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his claws, but at the critical moment, he held back because Mo Ming felt that he should be more reserved, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"Master Li, I gave you such a discount because of our predestined relationship, and you also gave me something. This is a big surprise..."
"Well, logically speaking, I shouldn't accept your things, but you are such a face-saving person. If I don't want your things, I won't give you face, so I can't take them away! Forget it, for the sake of our predestined relationship, I’ll accept it reluctantly!”
With that said, Mo Ming calmly took the stone talisman and stuffed it into his arms.
Li Daoyi's heart twitched. Why did it sound like he was giving Mo Ming something and adding a burden to Mo Ming
However, since the things have been given away, how can I have the dignity to ask for them back
"Forget it, let's not mention this matter. If Mr. Li has already packed everything, how about we set off now?" Mo Ming asked.
"Can!"
Li Daoyi was eager to leave early.
The homework assigned by Nanling Mansion all had certain difficulties. Killing the bandit leader before had already put him in danger.
At the next stop, Three Thousand Devils Peak, he still didn’t know what he would encounter, but now that this little profiteer was here, he felt much more confident.
But Mo Ming laughed happily in his heart:
"It's gone, it's gone, fifteen blood stones, it's really gone this time!"
…
Three days later,
The afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the forest leaves and falls on the forest paths, leaving mottled shadows.
This is a small road leading to Three Thousand Devils Peak. Not to mention the pedestrians coming and going, not even the chirping of insects, birds and beasts can be heard in broad daylight.
Although it is a bright world, although it is a vibrant scene, there is always a feeling of lifelessness.
However, at this moment, a very... very... well, very "weird", "embarrassing", and indescribable animal sound came from a distance, breaking the deathly silence.
A mule, carrying two figures, one large and one small, staggered over from the other end of the path.
Mo Ming sat in the front seat and said while comparing the map:
"Little Sheep, look, not far ahead is the Three Thousand Devils Peak! At our speed, we will reach the outer area in a while at most!"
"Hey, little fat sheep, why don't you say anything? You can complete your homework when you reach Three Thousand Devils Peak. Why aren't you happy?"
"Hey, let me tell you, little fat sheep, are you mute? You should say something!"
…
say? What did you say? What else could he say
Li Daoyi sat in the back seat with a look of despair.
A dignified student from Nanling Prefecture, a "young talent" from the Nineteen Prefectures of Nanling Prefecture, actually wants to ride a mule. If you tell me this, the other young masters of Nanling Prefecture will laugh to death!
To take a step back, I don’t expect you to get a spirited horse. You should at least get two ordinary horses!
Taking a hundred steps back, you can get two donkeys, but you have to get a mule!
To take a step back, if you want a mule, just get a mule, but why the hell do you want two mules? You have to have two people riding one mule!
This fucking can no longer be described as a "poor mount", this is simply a "refugee level" mount!
And it’s the kind where two people ride on one end!
As if he knew what Li Daoyi was thinking, Mo Ming comforted him:
"Brother Li, do you think I bought a mule because I pick it? Actually, there is a reason why I chose this!"
"You have to know that mules are not ordinary animals. They have very strong vitality. They have strong bodies, strong limbs and hooves, strong endurance, and strong adaptability. I think they are very suitable..."
"You damn profiteer, can't I choke you to death if I don't speak? Can I choke you to death?!"
"Can hold back madness!"
“…”
Li Daoyi was completely desperate.
Yes, the mule is indeed not an ordinary animal. The two of them were able to get here unimpeded thanks to this mule.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of robbers and bandits, all of whom were extremely vicious.
Originally, Li Daoyi wanted to eliminate harm for the people, but he didn't even need to take action. When the thieves jumped out and saw the two of them riding a mule, they almost shouted "bad luck", then turned around and left. None of them were brought back.
Really, thieves lick blood with their swords every day, for what reason? Isn't it just asking for money
But this is good for him. Two people ride a mule. How poor a refugee must be to be treated like this
Just stealing money
What the hell, robbery!
Li Dao had noticed early on that this was a profiteer!
And it’s the kind that “as long as you can’t trick people to death, you will trick them to death”!
"Crash-"
A river crosses across the front. The water is not deep, only reaching a person's thighs. The water is clear and sparkling, bringing a refreshing feeling to the face.
Mo Ming and Li Daoyi got off their horses here... No, they got off their mules.
On the distant horizon, the outline of Three Thousand Devil Peaks appeared in their field of vision.
Although it was cloudless at this time and the blue sky was clear, the Three Thousand Devils Peak seemed to be wrapped in a black cloud, and even the sunlight could not shine in. It was eerie and eerie, giving people a very ominous feeling...
