The so-called Taobao Market was a place that looked like a wet market back on earth. The merchants had set up stalls that were neither too big nor too small.
On those stalls, there were all kinds of weird items.
There were weapons, herbs, ores, animal hides, decorations … Basically, there were all kinds of things.
These completely different things, but they all had one thing in common — old!
Almost any random item looked like an antique that had been around for a long time!
An outsider would think that this was an antique market!
Only a true expert would know that there might be treasures of extraordinary value hidden among these miscellaneous old antiques!
If a lucky person or an expert with good eyesight came across, he or she would be able to buy the rare treasures from here at a very low price!
That was why the name Taobao Market came into being!
When an outsider came to Taobao, he or she was just trying their luck. If they were lucky, they might be able to buy some really valuable items. If they were unlucky, they would be cheated by the merchants and spend their money for nothing!
On the other hand, an expert with good eyesight would be able to buy good items at a very low price!
That was why the experts called Taobao as picking up leftovers!
It was obvious that Chen was a super expert. With just a glance, he could tell which were the treasures and which were the trash!
Most importantly, with Chen's eyesight, he would not be interested if he did not find some really valuable treasures!
"Boss, how much is this sculpture?"
Chen walked over and picked up a sculpture that was made of a special material and asked casually.
From the shape of the sculpture, it looked like a weird-looking reptile!
It looked like a praying mantis with knife-like front claws! It looked like a snake with a long and thin body! It looked like a spider with eight eyes and hook-like fangs!
Even the most knowledgeable Jianghu veteran would not be able to tell what kind of worm this was!
The most important thing was that the material of this sculpture was very special!
It was as cold as metal, but it was as smooth as jade!
But one thing was for sure, it was not made of metal or jade!
In fact, even Chen himself did not know what kind of material it was made of.
The reason why Chen was attracted to it was because he could see the intense purplish golden light on the sculpture with his Bagua Qi Observation Skill!
This meant that this sculpture was extremely valuable! Extremely ancient!
At the same time, the shape of this weird worm reminded Chen of something!
Gu worms!
Chen Xiaobei had learned some basic witchcraft from Taiyin True Deity. Though he did not raise a lot of worms himself, he had a good understanding of most of them.
The Witch Tribe used special methods to cultivate Gu worms. They had extremely unique appearances and special abilities!
The small sculpture in front of him had a very ancient history, and its shape was very unique!
Because of that, Chen Xiaobei had a strong feeling that this strange worm was a kind of voodoo worm from the witch tribe!
"Little brother, you can't be making fun of me, right?"
The stall owner was a fatty who looked very shrewd. He squinted his eyes and said, "Look at the scars all over your body. You should hurry up and buy some medicine to heal yourself!"
"Ah?" Chen was stunned. He realized that he was still wearing the Nightstalker Outfit that was destroyed by the explosion. There were many wounds all over his body. He looked really pitiful.
"I'm fine. It's not too late for me to heal myself after I'm done with my shopping!" Chen Xiaobei was very calm. He did not care about the strange looks that people were giving him.
"I see that you don't have much money, right?"
The stall owner glared at Chen Xiaobei and said impatiently, "This sculpture is not just any ordinary thing! It was brought back from the no man's land in the deep end of the galaxy by a top interstellar exploration team. It's very expensive! "
"Just tell me how expensive it is!" Chen Xiaobei said nonchalantly.
Chen Xiaobei would definitely buy this sculpture based on the fact that it might be a voodoo worm from the witch tribe.
As for the price, Chen Xiaobei did not care at all!
There were almost 300,000 high-grade Spiritual Stones in Chen Xiaobei's Infinite Space Ring. That was equivalent to 30 trillion low-grade Spiritual Stones!
This amount of Spiritual Stones might not be much in the Earth God Realm but in the Calamity Starry Sea, it was definitely a fortune!
This was only the third level of the starry sea. There was really nothing that Chen Xiaobei could not afford!
"Kid, you look so shabby but you sure talk big!"
The stall owner glared at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Fixed price, 10,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! Buy it if you have the money. Get lost if you don't. I don't allow bargaining here! "
The stall owner's voice was very loud and attracted a lot of attention.
10,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones was equivalent to 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones. To an ordinary person, this was a huge sum of money!
In the stall owner's eyes, Chen Xiaobei, who was covered in wounds and tattered clothes, could not possibly afford so many Spiritual Stones!
So, the stall owner purposely shouted at Chen Xiaobei to humiliate him.
Sure enough, the people around him started to point at Chen. Mocking and mocking voices could be heard all over the place.
In a situation like this, Chen Xiaobei was not affected at all. He even felt like laughing.
Because Chen Xiaobei only needed to throw out 1,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones and he would be able to smash the stall owner and all the people who were mocking him!
To Chen Xiaobei, this was a piece of cake!
Smack!
However, right at this moment, a heavy palm directly lashed out!
With a loud bang, the stall owner was sent flying. He fell to the ground, blood spewing from his mouth.
The people who were mocking Chen Xiaobei were like a flock of frightened ducks. They shrunk their necks and shut their mouths, not even daring to breathe!
"Motherf * cker! My savior came to buy something from you. That's already a huge favor for you. You're just asking for a beating, yet you don't want it! "
A bald muscular man appeared next to Chen Xiaobei. He was the one who slapped the stall owner.
"Old Tu … You are too impulsive …" Chen Xiaobei did not know whether to laugh or cry.
That muscular man was Tu Tiegan. He said condescendingly, "I've already restrained myself. If not, I would have smashed his head with one slap!"
"Blarrgghh … You … You are dead meat …" The stall owner spat out blood and cursed, "Fighting is strictly prohibited in this city. You are going to be executed by the law enforcement for hitting me …"
"What should we do now?"
Chen Xiaobei looked at Tu Tiegan and laughed, "Are you planning to run away with me? Or are you planning to fight the law enforcement here? "
"We don't need to run away or fight!"
Tu Tiegan said calmly, "I'm not trying to act tough. Even the mayor of this small city has to act like a coward when he sees me!"
