When Han Shuo arrived at the west side of the City and met with fire Elite Zombie, he discovered that Han Shuo's intelligence had evolved to a whole new level after he left.
Han Shuo's quarrel was with a divine weapon shop. After entering Ethereal City, Han Shuo discovered that there were all kinds of shops all over the City. Instead of looking for Han Shuo, Han Shuo started roaming around the divine weapon shops. Han Shuo got into a fight with a shopkeeper over the price of some ores.
Fire Elite Zombie who cultivated in the elemental energy of fire had reached the acme of perfection in the utilization of the energy of fire. There were not many powerful experts in the shop. Five or six shop assistants ganged up on Han Huo and yet they were all covered with cuts and bruises. If it weren't for the Ethereal City divine guards nearby, Han Huo would have burned the shop down.
When the Ethereal City divine guards learned of Han Shuo's identity and learned that he was Han Shuo's son, they did not dare to act rashly. They immediately dispatched their men to the City Lord's Mansion to inform Han Shuo, fearing that attacking Han Shuo would incur Han Shuo's wrath.
Those divine guards knew about Han Shuo. From the way the City Lord of Ethereal City treated Han Shuo, they knew that Han Shuo was not a person to be trifled with. On top of that, Han Shuo was a genius pharmacist. Once the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy opened in Ethereal City, they would have to maintain a good relationship with Han Shuo if they wanted to purchase suitable medicines. Therefore, they dared not offend Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo and Han Tu arrived at the shop, they discovered that the front door of the shop was charred black. Han Huo was standing at the entrance, glaring at the few shopkeepers.
"Father, you have arrived first!" Han Huo immediately cheered as soon as Han Shuo appeared. He came over and gave Han Tu a big hug before turning to look at Han Shuo smilingly.
"What's wrong?" Han Shuo was also very happy. However, the Ethereal City divine guards around him were wearing awkward faces and the few shopkeepers were looking at them furiously. Han Shuo felt that it was better to get to the bottom of the situation first.
"Erm … Mister Brian, your son didn't pay for the things he bought!" the divine guard who was in charge of this matter recognized Han Shuo and put on an embarrassed face.
Han Shuo was stunned. He looked at Han Huo suspiciously and asked, "You really didn't pay?"
"They're talking nonsense. It's just a Fire Obsidian. How dare they ask me for fifty black crystal coins? They're clearly trying to rip me off! Xiao Jin said that the Fire Obsidian is worthless and he can get as many as he wants. I'm already giving them enough face by giving them five black crystal coins for such a cheap stone! " Han Huo was enraged. He pointed at the few shop assistants and said irritably, "You bastards, do you think I won't tear down your shop? How dare you run a scam in broad daylight? How dare you scam me?"
"You've gone too far! You've gone too far! I'll fight you to the death!" A beautiful female shop assistant, who cultivated the power of water, was so angry that her face was red, and her body was trembling. It seemed like she was about to charge forward and fight to the death.
The shop assistants were also enraged. If they weren't afraid of the Ethereal City divine guards, they would have charged at Han Huo and fought him to the death. "Don't buy it if you don't have black crystal coins. It's not like we have to sell it to you. You're just robbing us and leaving after paying five black crystal coins. Do you think you're in the right?" the female shop assistant bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Han Huo.
"Crazy woman, you're allowed to run a scam but I'm not allowed to buy anything?" Han Huo said disdainfully to the female shop assistant. He put on a disdainful face and said, "What are you shouting for? If you keep shouting, I'll burn you to death! "
"I'm going to kill you!" Shrieked the female shop assistant. She broke free from an Ethereal City divine guard and charged at Han Huo.
"Let's talk this out!" The divine guard in charge of the scam shouted. He hastily formed a wind energy barrier to stop the charging female shop assistant. He put on a bitter smile and explained to Han Shuo, "Fire Obsidian, no matter where it is sold, will never be sold for less than forty-five black crystal coins. There's no problem with this shop's price of fifty black crystal coins. This is not a good deal for us."
"If Little Gold says it's worthless, then it's worthless. Don't spout nonsense!" Han Huo glared at the divine guard and rolled his eyes. He said, "You must be helping them. He paid you, didn't he?"
"Fool, Little Gold never spends money to look for stones. What kind of stone can't he find? If he says it's worthless, then it really is worthless! "Han Tu chuckled and teased Han Huo as though he found the scene rather amusing.
Metal Elite Zombie possessed extraordinary senses when it came to metal ores. It wouldn't be difficult for him to find the right ores. But for Han Huo to judge the price of an item by his standards, it was, of course, a huge mistake.
"Ah …" Han Huo would not have believed the words of others. But after hearing Han Tu's words, he was greatly astonished. He scratched his head and softly cried out, "So that means I've really made a mistake?"
"That woman, forget it. I'll give you this stupid stone. What's so great about it? Go, go, don't bother me!" A piece of Firespark Stone flew out and accurately landed at the female shop assistant's feet. The Firespark Stone that was supposed to be glowing with red light had, for some reason, turned dull and dull. It was grayish-white like any other stone that could be found anywhere.
"This isn't a Firespark Stone. Who are you trying to fool?!" The shop assistants behind Han Huo looked at the Firespark Stone beneath their feet and immediately glared at Han Huo in anger. They felt that they had been insulted. Even a blind man could tell that the stone was different from the one before. They felt that Han Huo was purposely making fun of them.
"It's a Firespark Stone, but the energy inside is gone!" Suddenly, a skinny old man walked out of the shop. He picked up the ordinary-looking stone and looked at Han Huo in amazement. He asked curiously, "How did you do it? Even a great alchemist would need the help of a magical matrix to extract the energy inside a Firespark Stone. Moreover, it would take at least a few days. But you managed to extract all the energy from the stone in less than ten minutes. How is this possible? "
"Grandpa Myles, why have you come out?" The shop assistants were shocked to see the skinny old man. Their attitudes became respectful. Even the female shop assistant who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws quietened down.
Myles gestured for the shop assistants to quiet down. He looked at Han Huo as though he was waiting for a satisfactory answer.
"Isn't it just a piece of Firespark Stone? It's too easy to extract the energy from it. What's so great about it?! "said Han Huo disdainfully. He didn't seem to care about the old man who suddenly appeared.
Han Shuo observed for a moment and discovered that Myles actually possessed highgod strength. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell which of the twelve fundamental forces Myles cultivated.
"I'll give you another piece of Firespark Stone. I won't charge you any Black Crystal Coins. Can you do it for me?" Myles put on a faint smile. He took out an even bigger Firespark Stone from his space ring and handed it to Han Huo.
"This old man is quite interesting. Haha, take a good look." Han Huo took the Firespark Stone and held it in his palm. Under the attentive gazes of the crowd, the fiery red radiance of the Firespark Stone gradually dimmed. In less than a minute, the Firespark Stone had lost all its red radiance and turned back into a plain and ordinary stone.
"This is amazing!" Myles softly cried out. He looked at Han Huo in astonishment and said, "I didn't expect that you could really do it. Haha, I know many people who cultivate in the energy of fire, but I have never thought that someone could extract energy from a Firespark Stone so quickly! "
The Firespark Stone was a type of energy crystal. It was not the kind of divine essence of fire that could be directly absorbed. Even those who cultivated in the energy of fire would not be able to extract energy from a Firespark Stone. Myles wasn't the only one who was astonished. The few young clerks and the Ethereal City divine guards who were in charge of this were all wearing faces of disbelief.
Ordinary cultivators of the energy of fire would not be able to do this. However, Han Huo was different. His entire body was forged from the yuan energy of the place of extreme fire. Back when he was on Profound Continent, the place of extreme fire had formed naturally for tens of thousands of years. He had also obtained the Fire Lotus. Absorbing energy from a Firespark Stone was as easy as flipping his palm.
"Now you have nothing to say, right?" Han Huo was immensely proud of himself. He raised his head to the sky and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
"Brat, how long has it been since we last met? Why are you getting so cocky?" Han Shuo couldn't help but mock Han Huo when he saw Han Huo's arrogant face.
"Of course not. Hehe, Father, it's not easy for us to meet again. Let's not waste any more time here. Let's go, let's leave this shady shop and have a good reunion. " Han Huo shrunk his head and hastily tried to curry favor with Han Shuo. He was not afraid of anyone except Han Shuo.
Han Shuo threw a bag of black crystal coins that landed right in front of the shop. Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, "Here are a thousand black crystal coins as compensation for the loss of your shop. I hope you don't mind!"
"Ah … a thousand black crystal coins!" To Han Shuo's surprise, Han Tu and Han Huo shouted in unison. Before Han Shuo could react, the two rushed to the shop's entrance and added up the bag of black crystal coins that Han Shuo had thrown down. Han Tu grabbed the bag of black crystal coins, took out a hundred black crystal coins and placed them on the ground. He put on a silly smile and said, "My father must have taken the wrong bag. A hundred black crystal coins is more than enough to compensate for the loss of your shop!"
Han Shuo had clearly said a thousand black crystal coins. Everyone heard it loud and clear. Han Tu's words were just too shameless.
Han Huo hastily nodded and said, "It's more than enough, more than enough!" Han Huo's eyes widened and he said fiercely, "I have already given you face by giving you a hundred black crystal coins. Don't be so shameless!"
"Erm …" the divine guard in charge put on a bitter smile.
Han Shuo was greatly embarrassed. He did not expect that his two sons would be so stingy as to give such a huge discount on the black crystal coins he had offered. It was beyond Han Shuo's expectation.
"Father, you are too extravagant. Crystal coins are good stuff. You can buy anything in this world. How can you be so wasteful? " Han Huo looked at him bitterly and let out a long sigh. "If I had enough black crystal coins, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking with them. You, on the other hand, threw away a thousand black crystal coins without batting an eyelid!"
"What a good-for-nothing!" Han Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw his two stingy sons. To him, a few thousand black crystal coins were nothing. It appeared that although his two sons had made astonishing progress in strength and intelligence, they weren't very good at making money.
