Chapter 121: Two Thousand Gold Coins I'll Buy Everything
Things Wu Tian didn't even care for were like treasures to others.
Whether it was the Jia Lie Clan's marketplace or their Dou Technique Pavilion,
It was first come, first served.
And if they didn't seize the opportunity now,
Then when?
However, neither Xiao Zhan nor Oba Pa left the scene.
They were both waiting for the perfect opportunity to curry favor with this incredibly powerful Wu Gan.
Especially Xiao Zhan
Not only had Wu Gan gifted them Dou Techniques,
But he had also saved his son, Xiao Yan.
Wasn't this helping the Xiao Clan?
Xiao Zhan didn't understand why,
But that didn't stop him from being thrilled.
If this continued,
The Xiao Clan would definitely rise beyond Wu Tan City
And become a formidable force in the Jia Ma Empire.
And then there was Wu Shougan,
The mysterious steward of the Xiao Clan.
Just how powerful was he?
The mere thought of having a super powerhouse hidden within the Xiao Clan
Made Xiao Zhan's body tremble uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian ignored the fearful stares around him.
Instead, he turned to Xiao Xun'er and smiled.
"Xun'er, let's keep shopping!"
The surrounding crowd:
Still… still shopping?!
This young man had just killed three Great Dou Fighters.
He had single handedly changed the power structure of Wu Tan City.
Yet he was acting as if he had just stepped on three ants.
How terrifying!
And what was even more shocking
Xiao Xun'er, the fifteen year old goddess of the Xiao Clan,
Didn't seem bothered at all.
Instead, she smiled cheerfully,
Clinging to Wu Tian's arm as if nothing had happened.
"Wu Tian gege, I want another sausage~!"
Xiao Xun'er said, hugging his arm affectionately.
"Alright, but let's try a different flavor this time~."
Wu Tian smirked.
Xiao Xun'er blinked her big, curious eyes.
"A different flavor? Then… I want "
As the two continued their date,
Hand in hand, munching on grilled corn sausages,
Wu Tian suddenly noticed something in the distance.
A young man was browsing through a street vendor's stall.
This person wasn't just anyone
It was Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's Bargain Hunt
While Wu Tian was dealing with Jia Lie Bi,
Xiao Yan had arrived at a herbal medicine stall in the Xiao Clan's marketplace.
Following Yao Chen's instructions,
He purchased the necessary herbs.
His gold reserves were limited,
But as the Xiao Clan's third young master,
Even with his bad reputation,
He could still get a decent discount.
Cheap herbs? Easy.
But the wood element magic core?
That was a problem.
The medicine stall didn't have any.
And buying one from a magic core shop?
Way too expensive.
So, he lowered his expectations
Searching through second hand street vendors instead.
After browsing stall after stall,
Xiao Yan's steps finally came to a halt.
His gaze locked onto a small, blood streaked green crystal.
His lips curled into a smile.
"Finally found it."
Just as he reached out to grab it,
He froze mid motion.
A strange gut feeling crept over him.
He licked his lips,
Then casually swept his gaze over the stall.
A moment later,
His eyes stopped on a black, rusted metal fragment beside the magic core.
The iron piece looked ancient,
Covered in rust and dried mud,
As if it had just been unearthed.
It seemed like nothing more than scrap metal.
Suddenly
A familiar old voice echoed in his mind.
"Heh heh, kid, buy that iron piece."
"There's something good inside~!"
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched.
Still not used to this old man randomly talking inside my head…
But he trusted Yao Chen's judgment.
So, instead of grabbing the iron piece immediately,
He first picked up the magic core and asked:
"Which magical beast is this from?"
The stall owner, a rugged looking mercenary, grinned.
"Good eye, young master! That's a first rank magic beast "
"Only five hundred gold coins!"
Xiao Yan chuckled softly.
"That's too expensive."
"A first rank magic core should cost between 400 450 gold at most."
The mercenary smiled knowingly.
Of course, he had inflated the price
That was just how business worked.
"Alright, how about 470? My brothers got injured hunting this one."
Xiao Yan shrugged.
"Fine, 470."
Then
He casually grabbed the black iron piece along with a few other cheap items.
"I'll take all of these for that price."
The mercenary glanced at the random junk Xiao Yan picked up,
Then grinned.
"Heh, young master, you're quite straightforward. Alright "
Before he could finish his sentence
A clear, confident voice rang out nearby.
"I'll pay two thousand gold coins "
"I want everything on this stall."
Xiao Yan froze.
The mercenary also stiffened.
They turned to look
And saw that the voice wasn't directed at them,
But at a neighboring stall.
When Xiao Yan saw who it was,
His mouth twitched violently.
"Wu Gan?!"
"And Xiao Xun'er?!"
Wasn't this bastard just fighting Jia Lie Ao?!
How the hell did he show up here so fast?!
Why did he keep running into him?!
Was he cursed or something?!
Xiao Yan sighed in relief.
At least he didn't interfere with my purchase.
But then
A nagging feeling crept into his mind.
Something felt… off.
Did anything good ever happen when Wu Gan was around?!
He quickly turned back to the mercenary stall owner.
"So… you still selling or not?"
The stall owner hesitated,
Then nodded.
"Y Yes! Selling!"
At least he was closing a deal,
Even if it wasn't the best one.
Just as the mercenary reached for a cloth to wrap up Xiao Yan's items
That same clear voice rang out again.
"I'll pay two thousand gold coins "
"I want everything on this stall."
Xiao Yan:
"Are you kidding me?!"
The mercenary stall owner's eyes lit up.
He turned toward the voice,
A huge smile spreading across his face.
