Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 86 “We’re not short of money!”
Gu Xiaoxing was still hesitating whether to go forward to make his acquaintance and inquire about the news about Xuantian Territory, but he didn't expect that the other party would come over on his own. However, before he could say anything, the young man spoke first.
The young man didn't even look at Gu Xiaoxing, but stared at Lu Ling'er, or more precisely, at the Sanyang Soul Refining Furnace on Lu Ling'er's head. He asked directly, "I wonder if you can sell the furnace on my lady's head?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Linger's eyes, which were originally as clear as water, suddenly became extremely cold. If it was any other matter, the little girl would not be so cold, but this Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace was her master. Was he asking her to sell out her master?
Seeing the little girl's face turn ugly, the young man didn't care. Instead, he smiled confidently and waited for an answer.
At this time, Qin Yunfeng came over and introduced with a smile: "This is from Xuantian Domain, Shanhe Sect, Taoist Jishan sat down and taught by himself, his Taoist name is Kuishanzi. Since Taoist Kuishan likes your furnace, little girl, you can name a price."
The little girl had a gloomy face at the moment. If Gu Xiaoxing hadn't been holding her, she would probably have gone up to fight.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled, not because of how astonishing Kuishanzi's background was, but because he knew that he was indeed from Xuantian Domain. Although he did not investigate his specific cultivation level, he did not seem to have reached the Jindan stage, so he must have come with the elders of the sect.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxing was a little speechless. Why did Qin Yunfeng still look like he deserved a beating? And why did these big forces always like to force buying and selling? Yesterday's Xu Qianxing, and now even the Shanhe Sect above the Nine Regions is like this. Seeing that there is no good relationship, he can only sigh and say: "You guys go, the furnace is not for sale!"
Kuishanzi frowned and said unhappily: "Who do you think you are? Did I talk to you?"
Gu Xiaoxing narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but Lu Linger was not happy first. She said angrily: "Then who do you think you are? My little brother is talking to you because he thinks highly of you!"
"presumptuous!"
Qin Yunfeng was furious. Just as he was about to say something, Kui Shanzi raised his hand to stop him. He was a disciple of the Shanhe Sect, from the lofty Xuantian Territory, and was a disciple of a Yuanying stage master. Yet, he came to a small wasteland and was despised by a yellow-haired girl. He said coldly, "I want to see which sect in this small wasteland has produced such an ungrateful disciple. Tell me the name of your master!"
Just as Gu Xiaoxing was about to speak, Lu Linger once again took the lead, raised her little head, and said proudly, "Imperial Sword Sect, Xu Qianxing!"
After these words were spoken, among the three people left in the field, except Kuishanzi, the expressions of the other two people did not change much, but in fact they were full of strangeness in their hearts.
One was Qin Yunfeng, who recognized Xu Qianxing himself, but for some reason, he did not speak out.
The other one was Gu Xiaoxing, who secretly thought that this little girl had inherited his true teachings and did not even blush when he said this.
"Ah...!" The stove sighed secretly.
"Is this how you teach your children?" Coffin questioned.
Kuishanzi was stunned for a moment, but actually believed it. He laughed in anger and said, "No wonder you speak so arrogantly. It turns out that you are the Xu Qianxing mentioned in the rumors. But do you think that being called a genius in a small wasteland makes you a genius? In the eyes of us in the Nine Heavens, you are nothing more than a barbarian."
Lu Linger was not afraid at all and said, "We'll know if it's true or not after we compare it!"
Kuishanzi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Very good, today I will let you know what a true genius is. If you have the guts, follow me out!"
Gu Xiaoxing and Lu Ling'er looked at each other, then looked at Kui Shanzi as if he were an idiot and asked, "Why should we go out with you?"
"Do you still want to take action in the Dahao Treasure Pavilion?" Kuishanzi was obviously afraid of this place.
"Fellow Daoist Kuishan..." At this time, Qin Yunfeng walked to Kuishanzi's side, and then cast a light shield barrier to isolate the sound.
Seeing the two of them smiling at each other while whispering to each other, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but frown. What topic were they discussing that made them laugh so sinisterly and evilly?
"Haha...Fellow Daoist Qin, this is a brilliant plan!" When the barrier dissipated, Kuishanzi suddenly smiled up to the sky, and then gave Lu Linger a ferocious look, "In that case, Xu Qianxing... let's meet in Lei Yuntian!"
After saying that, he just walked downstairs.
Qin Yunfeng turned around and looked at Gu Xiaoxing and the other person, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Gu Xiaoxing blinked. He always felt that Qin Yunfeng must be plotting against the real Xu Qianxing, otherwise he would not have known that the little girl's identity was a fake and not exposed it.
"Forget it, as long as it's none of our business." Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself, and at the same time secretly guessed that the origin of Dahao Bao Pavilion might be more shocking than he imagined. People from the Jiutian Domain didn't dare to take action in a branch shop in a wasteland.
"Boy, haven't you felt a little depressed since you came in?" Coffin suddenly said.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled. He seemed to be really moved by what it said. At first, he thought it was because there were too many magic weapons here, so he asked, "Do you know why?"
"Because this Dahao Treasure Pavilion is the same as the Coffin Master, it is itself a spiritual treasure, but it is of low grade, a bit inferior!" The Coffin said while not forgetting to lift itself up.
Gu Xiaoxing was completely shocked by this sentence. If this Dahao Treasure Pavilion was a spiritual treasure, what about the ones in other places? If every Dahao Treasure Pavilion was a spiritual treasure, this would be a bit scary!
No wonder even Kuishanzi didn't dare to act recklessly here. He had to shout to teach people a lesson. If the spiritual treasure showed its power, it would be like a strong man at the Nascent Soul level taking action!
Gu Xiaoxing swallowed his saliva, patted the little girl's head, and said, "Ling'er, we must restrain ourselves in Dahaobao Pavilion from now on, and we must not fight with others!"
The little girl blinked her big eyes, and although she didn't quite understand, she still nodded in agreement.
Without the hindrance of outsiders, the two continued to choose in the treasure pavilion. Although the third floor was full of inferior magic weapons, there were also many good things. However, the prices were not cheap, all over a thousand upper-grade spirit stones. There was even a jade disk that was sold for two thousand upper-grade spirit stones, which was already a top-grade among the inferior magic weapons.
Lu Linger seemed to like the jade disc very much, so Gu Xiaoxing bought it directly and gave it to the little girl. He felt that he was really not short of money now. After walking around, he didn't see anything that made him excited. He wanted to go to the fourth floor again, but was stopped.
What stopped him was not a person, but a formation plate at the entrance of the corridor, emitting a halo of light, preventing him from going up the stairs.
At this moment, another guy immediately ran over to explain that this was the Dahao Bao Pavilion's unique spirit stone detector, and that entry would be impossible without enough spirit stones detected.
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, he immediately became angry and asked, "How many spirit stones do I need to get in?"
The guy smiled awkwardly and said, "It will cost at least 10,000 high-quality spirit stones..."
However, before the guy could finish his words, there was a "bang" and a piece of black metal half a person's height fell in front of him.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't even look at it, he just said: "Is it enough?"
The man thought to himself, "You don't have any spirit stones, so why did you throw out a piece of black iron?" He was about to get angry, but he was suddenly startled as if he had discovered something. He walked forward and touched the black iron with trembling hands, saying, "This... what is...?"
Gu Xiaoxing spoke again: "Is it enough?"
"Enough, enough!" The guy finally reacted and immediately controlled the spirit stone detector to open the channel.
Gu Xiaoxing took Lu Ling'er's hand, walked slowly towards the corridor, and said lightly: "Let's go, Ling'er, we are not short of money!"
Lu Linger let him lead her, her eyes already full of stars, she was impressed by the mighty and domineering attitude of Gu Xiaoxing just now.
On the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion, there are only ten medium-level magic weapons on the counter, but each one costs at least tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones, and some are even as high as fifty thousand.
"Ling'er, just pick whatever you want. We have plenty of money!"
Lu Linger followed suit, waving her hand and saying to the waiter, "It's all covered. We have plenty of money!"
Gu Xiaoxing staggered and almost fell, thinking how could this person be even more cruel than him?
The little girl seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Gu Xiaoxing, and immediately said weakly, "Brother, is Ling'er..."
"No!" Gu Xiaoxing interrupted her before she could finish, "We really have a lot of money, we'll pay for it!"
How could he bear to let his baby Ling'er's expectations go unfulfilled? He decisively took out another piece of innate black gold that was as tall as a person. Obviously, the previous piece was not enough to pay the bill.
The little girl immediately smiled happily, then waved her hand again and said, "The fifth floor is also..."
"Ling'er...!" Gu Xiaoxing was so shocked that he shouted, "Calm down, calm down!"
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing's back was covered with cold sweat. He felt that it was necessary to teach the little girl what it meant to be thrifty. If she continued like this, even mountains of gold and silver would soon be squandered.
But when he saw the little girl's expression of grievance and almost crying, he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and said angrily: "The fifth floor... is covered! We lack everything except money!"
Lu Linger immediately laughed out loud and called the little brother the best in the world.
The shopkeeper also laughed along with Ling'er. This was a huge deal, and he had already been alerted. He smiled happily and quoted a price that broke Gu Xiaoxing's heart. He said, "There are three top-grade magic weapons on the fifth floor. One is 330,000, one is 520,000, and one is 650,000. The total is 1.5 million top-grade spirit stones!"
"Haha, your calculation is really accurate, can you give me a discount?"
"Small business, no discounts!"
Gu Xiaoxing almost took out half of the innate black gold from the storage ring with tears in his eyes. He swore that he would never say that he had plenty of money in front of Ling'er again.
However, when Gu Xiaoxing saw the little girl laughing heartlessly, and thought about her indifference yesterday, he was immediately relieved.
Gu Xiaoxing understood that this smile could not be bought even with millions or tens of millions of high-quality spirit stones, but it was only because he was back...
"Master Guan, I think what you said is very right. If we have a chance, we can go to the Foundation Building Mountain and dig out all the innate black gold. We are so short of money!"
