"I stole money from my family?" Ye Kong had nothing to say to the shopkeeper who did not know what was good for him. He threw the tael of silver on the counter and wanted to leave with the five pounds of millet seeds.
The people in the store were all farmers. The shopkeeper had never seen such a "large sum" of money. He threw a tael of silver on the counter that was supposed to be bought for ten copper coins.
The boss couldn't help but observe carefully. With this observation, he could tell that this was the Eighth Young Master of the Ye Family, who was in the limelight in Southern City.
"Is the guest surnamed Ye?" The shopkeeper hurriedly followed him out of the store and asked.
"You know me?" Ye Kong, who had already walked out of the store, turned around and asked.
"It really is the eighth young master!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed. "The eighth young master showed off his power in the House of Hidden Spring. This Old Man also went to watch. The eighth young master is indeed powerful and majestic …"
Ye Kong flung the bag of seeds onto his shoulder and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Oh. This is the eighth young master's silver. Do you need to pay for millet seeds? And just now … "The shopkeeper actually knelt down on the street and said," I have eyes but failed to see. I offended the eighth young master just now. I apologize. "
"Alright, this is nothing." Ye Kong threw the tael of silver back to the shopkeeper and turned around to leave.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper hugged Ye Kong's leg and said loudly, "Eighth young master, I still have one more thing. I hope the eighth young master will approve it!"
F * ck, as soon as this person became famous, trouble came.
"Shopkeeper, don't be like this. In fact, I, Ye Kong, am just a child with limited ability. If you have any difficulties, you should go to the yamen runner. If you want to complain, go to the government. If you want to borrow money, you don't have to ask. I don't have any surplus grain." Ye Kong's words stopped the shopkeeper.
"Neither, neither." The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously. "I've long heard that the eighth young master is young and handsome. Today, I see that it is indeed so … I have a fifteen-year-old daughter at home. She is quite beautiful …"
Ye Kong almost fainted. It turned out to be this kind of thing. He still had two things to settle at home. He shook off the boss and strode away.
The boss shouted from behind, "Eighth Young Master, you can be a slave or a concubine, even if you don't have a title, you can also be a mistress …"
How could the old man catch up to Ye Kong? Not long after, Ye Kong disappeared without a trace.
The boss said gloomily, "That's strange. Rumor has it that the Eighth Young Master is a playboy. He was a regular at the Hidden Spring House when he was fourteen. Why doesn't he want it now?"
Ye Kong doesn't know that he has become famous in the city. He hides in a secluded corner and puts the bag of seeds into his storage bag.
"It's so hard to get a wife on Earth, but who would've thought that the women of Cang Nan Continent would be given away for free. If we could come and go often, how many marriage problems of older youths would be solved!" Fine, this brat really has the heart to benefit the entire human race.
Just as he walked on the street, someone came up, but it wasn't to harass him. It was a young man.
"Eighth Young Master, I'm Liu Xuebin from the Longhu Gang. Greetings, Eighth Young Master." This brat noticed someone kowtowing to a young man on the street.
He took a look and realized that it was the legendary Eighth Young Master. He remembered the gang leader's instructions. "If you happen to meet Eighth Young Master, immediately greet him and follow his orders."
Of course, Ye Kong didn't have anything to order him around. But thinking that he hasn't seen Lu Jun and Lu Yi in a long time, and that he'll be going into seclusion soon, he might as well go see them.
After asking where the Lu brothers are, Ye Kong hurried over.
The Lu brothers were still eating and bragging in the tavern. Since they have nothing to do, it's normal for a meal to last a few hours.
Seeing Ye Kong arrive, the brothers hurriedly welcomed him and greeted him.
"No need, no need." Ye Kong waved his hand. "Is the gang still stable? Did the yamen cause any trouble for you? "
"Thanks to Eighth Young Master, ever since the last incident, the yamen didn't dare to cause trouble for us. The yamen runners all bow and scrape when they see us." Lu Jun was speaking the truth. The reason why the yamen was so polite to the Longhu Gang was because they felt that Ye Kong wasn't someone to be trifled with. If not for Ye Kong's support, Chen Qingtian would have taken out the Longhu Gang long ago.
Lu Yi added, "The people in the gang are very united. Everyone knows that you're behind them, and they're all pumped up …"
"Pumped up for what? Pumped up for drinking, flirting with girls, and visiting brothels? " Every time Ye Kong saw the two of them, he always liked to beat them up. This was a habit he had back on Earth. He continued, "Being in the underworld also requires culture. If you have the time, you should read more books. Don't drink the whole afternoon. Have you guys done the series of 'Young and Dangerous' that I asked you guys to do last time? You need to improve everyone's impression of you. "
"Yes, we're doing it now. Those scholars are writing the script. When the time comes, I'd like to invite Eighth Young Master to participate in that?" Ye Kong had too many new words, and Lu Jun often forgot them.
"The premiere." Lu Yi reminded him.
"Right, right, right. The premiere. Eighth Young Master, you're really astute and crafty …"
"Look, uncultured. You don't even know how to use words, and you're crafty … You're the crafty one!" Ye Kong gave Lu Jun a knock on the head and said, "You guys go ahead. If I have time, I'll go take a look. If not, then forget it. If there's nothing, don't bother me. If there's anything, let Little Qin pass the message."
Ye Kong was about to leave after giving the order, but the Lu brothers pulled him back and reported that they had recently collected many family heirlooms, and they were waiting for Ye Kong to take a look.
This was also arranged by Ye Kong. His Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture and Shadow Dance were all family heirlooms, and they were all considered useless trash.
Therefore, Ye Kong was very interested in these family heirlooms. Cangnan Mainland had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Many families had ancestral heirlooms, but most of them were considered to be trash.
Hearing this, Ye Kong was overjoyed. He immediately followed the Lu brothers back and came to a small room. Inside was a mess of things.
"These are all treasures that have been passed down in the families of the commoners in the city. They don't have any use for them, so they sold them after giving them some money. I don't know if there are any treasures inside, so I hope that Eighth Young Master can recognize them." Lu Jun led Ye Kong into the room.
"Spirit Stones." With a glance, Ye Kong saw a few shiny things in the middle of the messy pile of things.
There were five spirit stones in total. Although it wasn't much, it was better than nothing. Ye Kong directly put them into his storage pouch.
But after that, Ye Kong didn't know what else to look for. There were basins, pots, wooden sticks, grass roots, fans, books, mirrors. In short, there was a dazzling array of all sorts of things. There were also many things that Ye Kong could not name, as he did not know what they were.
Ye Kong didn't know, but someone else did. Ye Kong immediately went to call Ancestor Acheron. After calling for a long time, the old man finally woke up.
"What's with all the noise? Is it night already?" Ancestor Acheron was very dissatisfied with Ye Kong waking him up.
"Ancestor, open your eyes wide. There are so many treasures." Ye Kong said proudly.
Ancestor Acheron released his divine sense. Then, with a shocked expression, he said, "Wow! So much trash! "
"It can't be. These are all treasures collected by the common people. Don't look down on them. The Shadow Jade and the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture that I'm cultivating have been appraised as trash by others."
"That's because you're lucky. You're so lucky!" Ancestor Acheron stretched out his finger and said, "Look at the trash on the ground. A three-leaf orchid that's less than ten years old was plucked and stored in such luxurious thousand-year-old peach wood. What's the use of that? And that black stone is the lowest grade of iron essence raw ore. It's really something that people wouldn't want even if they gave it away. One Spirit Stone can buy 100 of them … And those fragments are all fragments of celestial artifacts. Those celestial artifacts were low-grade when they were made. What's the use of the fragments? "
The things in the house were said to be worthless by Ancestor Acheron. Ye Kong said in disbelief, "Among so many things, there must be one or two that are useful, right?"
Ancestor Acheron laughed and said, "There are one or two, but … I'm not your coolie. Why should I tell you?"
"It can't be. Aren't you being too calculative? I'm just asking you to open your eyes. What other benefits do you want?" Ye Kong was a little displeased. This old fellow was too harsh. He even wanted benefits for such a small matter.
Ancestor Acheron snorted. "Although it's easy to look at the treasures for you, the best thing is a good material for refining armor. I helped you choose it, so I naturally have to help you to the end. I'll refine an armor for you. Since you don't know what's good for you, forget it. When you reach the Core Formation realm and have the Elixir Fire, you can refine it yourself."
Ye Kong was stunned. The Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture improved very slowly. By the time he reached the Core Formation realm, his beard would have turned white.
"Ancestor, ancestor, hehe, this brat was indeed rude just now. I apologize to you now." Ye Kong shamelessly begged for a while.
In the end, Ancestor Acheron reluctantly agreed. "Alright. Seeing that you still want to help me ascend in the future, I'll help you this time."
Then, he pointed to the most inconspicuous animal skin in the corner of the room and said, "That's the skin. If I'm not wrong, that's the skin of an Ink Shark."
"Ink Shark?" Ye Kong went over and picked up the skin that was rolled up. It didn't look valuable. It was gray and black, and it was full of grooves. The grooves were covered with mud. It looked like it had been scooped out of a garbage dump.
"It can't be, right? Ancestor, in order to abstain from eating, you made me eat grains that even poor people don't want to eat, and now you made me wear this kind of trash that was dug out from the garbage heap. This Celestial Cultivation is really boring! "Ye Kong complained.
"What do you know!" Ancestor Acheron scolded. "The Ink Shark is a kind of strange fish in the ocean. This kind of fish likes to float on the surface of the ocean to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It mainly absorbs Spiritual Qi through its strange skin. Even if its skin is peeled off from the body of the Ink Shark, it will naturally absorb Spiritual Qi. It can be said that the older it is, the more valuable it is."
"Oh, if that's the case, then this Ink Shark must be very powerful?" Ye Kong hurriedly threw the tattered skin into his storage bag.
"This kind of fish isn't powerful. It's because it's not powerful that it's very rare. It's all been caught by people. That's why it's so valuable. 100,000 years ago, it was on the verge of extinction. You're really lucky to see it today. The one you just put away has been preserved for at least 10,000 years. If it's refined into a defensive armor, its defensive power will be very strong. Even if a Core Formation cultivator's natal magic treasure hits it, it will be able to block it! "
Ye Kong was very tempted by Ancestor Acheron's words. It should be known that among cultivators, there were more offensive magic treasures, so they weren't worth much. But defensive magic treasures were much more expensive than offensive magic treasures. If it was a defensive armor that could even block a natal magic treasure, then it would be really expensive.
Of course, Ye Kong wouldn't sell it. This was something that could save his life. No matter how much money it was, he couldn't sell it.
"Then, Ancestor, may I know what other treasures are comparable to the Ink Shark's skin in this trash?" Ye Kong's tone was much more polite to Ancestor Acheron.
Ancestor Acheron scolded, "Kid! Don't be too greedy! Something like the Ink Shark's skin can only be found by luck. It's already your luck to find such a good thing in so much trash! You still want more? You're really greedy! "
Ye Kong blushed and asked again, "Then what about other things that can be taken? You know, I'm a rookie. The things that you don't like might be useful to me, right? "
Ancestor Acheron scanned the place with his divine sense again and said, "Kid, don't you like drawing talismans? There's a row of brushes on the table over there. The third one is a psychic talisman brush that can still be used. "
"Psychic talisman brush!" That was a brush specially used to draw talismans. Ye Kong had been looking forward to it for a long time.
He walked over and took a look. This psychic talisman brush looked much better than the Ink Shark's skin. It stood out among the row of brushes. Not only was its shape peculiar, but there were also two small words engraved on the tip of the brush, "Wolf Eyebrow".
