This girl in the cloth skirt looked very rustic, but Ning Cheng found that she was not the least bit worse than An Yi, her pair of eyes were bright and clear, that kind of innocent eyes seemed to be able to see into the bottom of a person's heart, making people not have the heart to refuse. But Ning Cheng was sure that she had never cultivated, as there was not even half a shred of Qi fluctuations coming from her body.
Ning Cheng did not reply to these words. Asking him to give away the pair of pearl hair clips that he missed so much to his sister, Ruo Lan, to a stranger, it was something that he was not willing to do.
In order for the five Academies to come out on top in three years, they would simultaneously recruit the most outstanding disciples from the Ping Continent, the Yuan Continent and the Hua Continent. The academies that could participate in the training of outstanding disciples were all three-star academies and above. My Clear Heart Academy is naturally one of them, as long as you are selected by the Clear Heart Academy, then you will have the opportunity to go to the Hua Continent's 5 Star Academy. "
"Oh, what's going on?" Ning Cheng was really curious. For the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy to be selected, it was certainly a great honour and fortune, but it was not enough to reach the heavens in a single bound.
The stall owner was very satisfied with Ning Cheng's attitude, he did not even bother to greet his customers, and carefully explained to Ning Cheng, "I heard that the Hua Continent has 5 5 Star Academies, 3 years later there will be a Lower Class Continent's Most Important Tournament between these 5 5 Star Academies. Once one of the 5 Star Academies won the competition, then they would obtain great benefits.
Ning Cheng did not bring this youth to the rest stop, now that the rest stops and restaurants in the Nan Yuan City were already overcrowded, even if he went there he would not be able to find a quiet place to sit.
Although he looked like a straightforward person, but he was able to see through Ning Cheng's purpose with a glance.
Listening to Ning Cheng's words, the young girl's brows slightly wrinkled, it was not because Ning Cheng was not willing to transfer the Pearl Hair Clip to her. She knew that in Nan Yuan City, only a person like her would regard a gold coin as such a big deal.
Ning Cheng had always been proud that his memory and analytical ability were unparalleled, but today he came to know that he was not the only one with a strong memory. With a simple glance, he was able to sketch out every detail of his facial expression. How much of a genius did he have to be to be able to do this?
Ning Cheng could tell from the tone of the young girl in the cloth robe that she was very fond of this pair of pearl hair clips. But this pair of pearl hair clips was something that he definitely needed, and being able to see the same pair of pearl hair clips in Nan Yuan City, the pleasant surprise in his heart was simply unable to be expressed. This was not something that could be represented by simply refining two Pearl Flowers, for Ning Cheng, this was a kind of mysterious Heaven's Will.
"What kind of great benefits did the academy receive?" Ning Cheng subconsciously asked, even a 5 Star Academy would care about such great benefits, he was really curious about it.
The stall owner who had just earned two gold coins was in a good mood, after listening to Ning Cheng's words, he immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, "How is that possible, although there are a lot of people here, but most of them come here to snatch business from the people of our city. When you go to the Spiritual Root Testing Plaza later, there will be stalls from outside. The number of people that the Clear Heart Academy wants has nothing to do with the people who come, it is only related to the cultivation of the Spiritual Root and the perception. "
In her opinion, even if this pearl hair clip was exquisite and beautiful, it would at most be worth a few dozen copper coins, or even less than a silver coin.
Ning Cheng did not pay attention to the words of the other people, he directly put away the pearl hair clip, but did not leave, instead he asked the stall owner, "Boss, are there so many people coming to Nan Yuan City to participate in the selection for the Clear Heart Academy? Although the Clear Heart Academy is big, but does it need so many people right? "
"One gold coin." The stall owner was obviously very good at doing business, seeing Ning Cheng and the young girl in the cloth skirt holding a pearl hair clip, he immediately opened his mouth like an lion.
Ning Cheng looked back and saw a very sturdy looking young man, this young man was not only very sturdy looking, but he was also wearing coarse clothes. Ning Cheng immediately guessed that this young man should have some relation with the young girl in the cloth skirt who had just left.
Ning Cheng cast an apologetic look at the young girl and said, "I am really sorry, this pair of pearl hair clip is of great significance to me. Can I ask you to part with it, and give me the pearl hair clip in your hands? I am willing to give you another pair of pearl hair clips, you can choose whichever you like. "
After listening to Ning Cheng's words, the young man's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, "Previously when my younger sister found me, she was somewhat depressed, from childhood till now I have never let her suffer any grievances. After I asked her, I came to know that the pearl hair clip that she had taken a fancy to was bought by someone else. "
The reason why he chose this young man to ask, was because Ning Cheng could see that the opposite party should be a very simple and honest person, moreover he also did not cultivate. Asking him was a bit safer than asking someone who had cultivated, otherwise, as a Qi Gathering Cultivator coming to Nan Yuan City and not knowing about the matter of the Clear Heart Academy recruiting disciples, it would certainly arouse suspicion. If it was any other place, then he would not care about it, but here he had an enemy, Lan Yin Yue.
"Spiritual Root Testing Plaza?" Ning Cheng did not understand and asked.
Her tone was gentle and demure, as if giving the pearl hair clip to Ning Cheng was a matter of course.
"I know, I know, but I still need to ask for the details." Ning Cheng quickly lowered his posture and cupped his fists, he was really prepared to go to the Hua Continent.
Ning Cheng saw the portrait on the handkerchief and was immediately sluggish, there was actually such a skillful person in the world. This portrait was only a few strokes, but his image was completely outlined on the handkerchief. This simple lifelike picture was comparable to the lifelike picture taken by a digital camera, even the hand drawn picture was more lifelike.
"I don't know about this." The stall owner said with a rare embarrassment.
"I know, but you need to sell me the pearl hair clip that you just bought." A hoarse voice sounded from the side of Ning Cheng.
"How did you know that it was me?" Ning Cheng blurted out, there were so many people on the street, moreover the young girl wearing the cloth skirt had already left for a long time, because he had a question to ask the stall owner, he was delayed and did not leave. It was reasonable to say, that this youth did not see him buy anything, so he should not know that it was him who bought the pearl hair clip.
Ning Cheng quickly took out two gold coins and handed it to the stall owner, and then thanked the young girl wearing the cloth skirt, "Many thanks, you can choose a pair of pearl hair clip, consider it as my gift to you."
The young girl wearing the cloth skirt was obviously afraid of causing a bigger dispute, she did not dare to say anything, and quickly turned around and walked into the crowd, and soon disappeared.
The young girl wearing the cloth skirt directly refused this time, "No need, I like that pair of snowflake shaped pearl hair clip, I do not want other people to give it to me, I can afford to buy it for two gold coins."
The stall owner unhurriedly said, "My pearl hair clip is unique, there will never be a second pair, moreover they are all handmade by the Imperial City's Master Casting, how can you say that this price is expensive? Besides, I said one for one gold coin, not one for one gold coin. "
When Ning Cheng saw this, he first thanked the stall owner, and then said to the youth, "Since this friend wants the pearl hair clip, then let's go to a quiet place to talk."
The reason why she frowned was because Ning Cheng said that he would give her a pair of pearl hair clip, which made her feel that this person was too frivolous. For a man to give a pearl hair clip to a woman, it was not a casual gift.
The young girl also looked at Ning Cheng, her eyes were filled with hope, she hoped that Ning Cheng would give up the pearl hair clip to her. She was not a fool, and obviously saw that the stall owner had increased the price, not because the pearl hair clip was really so precious, but because someone was competing with her, and this person was now standing right next to her.
The youth did not think much about it, and immediately nodded and said, "Ok, you lead the way. No matter what you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you, the condition is that you give me the pearl hair clip. "
What's more, nowadays the Nan Yuan City was filled with outsiders, not to mention 1 gold coin, even if it was 10 gold coins, as long as someone took a fancy to it, there would be people who would buy it.
The stall owner was incomparably proud, it was as if the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy was his personal property, "Have you heard of the Hua Continent? The Yi Xing Mainland has 9 continents, among them the Hua Continent is one of the 3 Lower Levelled Continents with the richest Spiritual Qi, if not for its bad location, it could have been classified as an Intermediate Class Continent. "
"Boss, then I'll give you 1 gold coin, can you sell these two pearl hair clips to me?" The young girl wearing the cloth skirt looked at the pearl hair clip in Ning Cheng's hands, and said while clenching her teeth. She had come to the Nan Yuan City to participate in the selection for the Clear Heart Academy, but this pearl hair clip was something that she really liked, moreover when she held this pearl hair clip, she had a very tranquil feeling, she felt that this pearl hair clip was made for her.
The hands of the young girl wearing the cloth skirt slightly trembled, she could not believe it and repeated the words, "This pair of pearl hair clip for 1 gold coin? How is this possible … … "
The young man was a little embarrassed as he took out a handkerchief and said, "I said that I would definitely help her get it back, she drew a portrait for me, I recognized that this person was you … …"
There was a person on the side who saw it clearly, and somewhat disdainfully ridiculed him, "A man actually competing with a woman for the pearl hair clip."
Saying that the stall owner was afraid that Ning Cheng did not understand, and said in an extremely proud tone, "Our Ming Yi Country's Clear Heart 3 Star Academy is recruiting disciples, it is not simple, if you are selected, then you might be able to reach the sky in a single bound."
Ning Cheng also knew that the stall owner was asking for an exorbitant price, but now not to mention 1 gold coin, even if it was 1000 gold coins, it was not a lot of money for him. Moreover, the use of gold coins for him was getting less and less. What he needed now were Spirit Stones, even if it was a Qi Gathering Stone, it would not be of much use to him.
"No." The boss spoke out in a categorical tone, while simultaneously looking at Ning Cheng.
From childhood till now, she had never spent so much money extravagantly to buy a small hair clip.
Ning Cheng brought the young man to a slightly less secluded place, and straightforwardly and politely said, "Friend, that pearl hair clip for me has an extremely important meaning, there is no way for me to give it to you. But I really have just arrived in Nan Yuan City, there are many things that I do not understand, so I would like to ask for your advice. "
The stall owner patiently replied, "You should not be here to participate in the Clear Heart Academy's selection, right? Generally, those who come to participate in the selection, will go to the Spiritual Root Testing Plaza for the first Spiritual Root Test. Only those who pass the first Spiritual Root Test, are eligible to enter the Clear Heart Academy to participate in the second Spiritual Root Test. "
Ning Cheng did not want to give away the pearl hair clip, but he wanted to know more about the situation. This young man did not seem to have any background, but he seemed to know more than the stall owner.
