Lin Xuan searched through Lin Xuan's memories and gradually remembered the identity of the young man in front of him.
"You are … Shi Wuque?"
"That's me! Little Xuanzi! I haven't heard from you in so many years, I thought you were dead! It's so good to see you again! "The young man gave Lin Xuan's chest a familiar punch and said with a warm smile.
This guy was Shi Wuque, Lin Xuan's childhood friend.
However, in Lin Xuan's memories, Shi WuQue was a malnourished, malnourished, and scantily clad fellow. He was no different from a little beggar, and he even brought along an even skinnier little sister.
Shi Wuque and his sister's mother was a concubine of a big shot. Because of the jealous and mean mistress, she didn't dare to live in her husband's house and was bullied outside. After a few years, she died of illness, leaving only Shi Wuque and his sister to rely on each other.
At that time, Shi Wuque and his sister even had problems eating. Fortunately, Lin Xuan and the other neighbors often helped them, otherwise they would have starved to death.
In just a few years, the little beggar of the past had turned into an elegant young master, and even had the cultivation of the sixth level of the Spirit Physique realm. It seemed like he was brought home by that big shot's father, so these few years shouldn't be bad.
Lin Xuan sized up Shi Wuque and said jokingly, "A scholar who has been away for three days really needs to be looked at with new eyes. I didn't expect that in just three years, you brat, you've become so powerful. Tsk tsk, that Gentleman Jade on your waist must be carved from a high grade Origin Stone, right? How rich! "
"Little Xuanzi, don't make fun of me. I can be where I am today because of my old man. I'm not like you, who went out alone for a few years and came back as a martial artist. I heard that you came back yesterday and wanted to find some time to play with you. I didn't expect to see you here first. "Shi Wuque said with a smile.
"Second Brother, what are you doing over there? Come and help me look at this short sword. "
Suddenly, a young girl's impatient voice came from behind Shi Wuque.
Shi Wuque pulled the girl over and pointed at Lin Xuan with a mysterious smile. "Qingqing, look. Who is he?"
Shi Qingqing was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had picturesque features, snow-white skin, and a slender figure. She could be considered a beauty.
However, the faintly discernible trace of arrogance between her brows unavoidably gave people a feeling of overbearingness.
She frowned as she sized up Lin Xuan. She saw that Lin Xuan was dressed in coarse black robes. His long hair was a little messy, and his boots were stained with mud and blood. There was also a faint corrosive smell coming from his body. He looked like one of those destitute martial artists who helped people cut up the corpses of water beasts at the docks.
She shot a disdainful look at Lin Xuan and said with disgust, "Second Brother, what are you doing? How would I know who he is? "
"Qingqing, look carefully. He is your Brother Xiao Xuanzi! Have you forgotten? When you were little, you were crying and shouting to be Xiao Xuanzi's wife! "Shi Wuque said with a smile.
Shi Qingqing's eyes flickered, as if she remembered something. However, she still frowned and said impatiently, "Second Brother, we are all grown up now. Why do you keep bringing up the things from our childhood? Besides, Young Master Ye is about to propose marriage to our Shi Family. If your words were to spread, it would not be good for my reputation! Forget it. If you like to reminisce with some poor and pedantic people, then do as you please. I'll go back first! "
After saying that, Shi Qingqing turned around and left without any explanation.
"Qingqing, you …" Shi Wuque looked at his sister's back and frowned.
Lin Xuan had a smile on his face from beginning to end. His expression did not change at all. He was not the real Lin Xuan, so he did not have any deep feelings for Shi Wuque and his sister. As for other people's supercilious looks and cold treatment, he had seen a lot of it during his three years as a human target.
On the contrary, Shi Wuque's expression was somewhat awkward. Lin Xuan comforted him with a smile, "Wuque, let it go. Everyone has their own ambitions. Some people don't forget their poor friends, and some people like to despise the poor and love the rich. This is human nature. There is no need to force it."
"Lin Xuan, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. Qingqing has changed a lot since she came back to the Shi Family. Please don't mind her." Shi Wuque said with a blush.
"I won't."
The two agreed on a time to meet again, and then parted for the time being. Shi Wuque hurriedly left the Ling-Bao Pavilion to catch up with his sister.
Lin Xuan did not plan to leave, but at this time, there was a dispute in front of him.
"Shopkeeper, look carefully. My Extinction Dragon Rope was originally a middle grade spirit tool. It was made with Earth Core Black Copper as the main material. Its quality is excellent. Although the inner spirit array is damaged, as long as it is repaired by a Tool Refiner, it will be able to display the power of a low grade spirit tool. I only need five hundred primeval stones. That's not too much, right?" A teenager eagerly promoted the rope in his hand, sweating profusely.
The long chain in his hand was dark red in color, with intermittent luster of spirit patterns on it. Its appearance was complete, and its appearance was not bad, but it was only a damaged precious weapon.
The shopkeeper of the Ling-Bao Pavilion held his hands in his sleeves and indifferently shook his head, "Little brother, if the exterior of the spirit tool is damaged, it is not difficult to repair it. But if the inner spirit array of the spirit tool is damaged, I'm afraid even a Tool Refiner Grandmaster would be helpless! It can be said that your Extinction Dragon Rope is completely broken. Maybe it is better than a black iron weapon, but it is not a spirit tool. At most, it is worth thirty primeval stones. "
"Thirty is too little, right? How about three hundred? "The teenager cried with a bitter face.
"Little brother, you should go elsewhere. My shop does not accept second-hand spirit tools. I was just giving you some advice."
The shopkeeper waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go! How about I sell it to you for one hundred? You don't want one hundred? Fifty is also fine … Sigh! "
The teenager shouted for a while, but the shopkeeper went upstairs without looking back. He could only helplessly sigh and walk out of the door with a depressed face.
The teenager was called Bai Xiao Qi. He was a newly promoted "profiteer" in the Fish Dragon Town. He mainly made a living by buying low and selling high cultivation resources.
Originally, he relied on his clever mind and made a lot of money in the past few months. But he did not expect that because of his lack of experience, he would make a mistake and be severely beaten in the eyes.
Three days ago, he used all of his wealth, eighty primeval stones, to buy a broken spirit tool rope from a wandering martial artist. He thought he had made a great bargain.
But he did not expect that after going to all the shops in the Fish Dragon Town and some underground markets, no one would offer more than thirty primeval stones for the rope.
Most of them offered more than ten primeval stones, or even a few primeval stones. There were not many who offered more than twenty primeval stones.
Bai Xiao Qi finally understood that he had made a big mistake this time. This business was a loss for sure. The only question was how much to lose.
"Sigh, forget it. The Wang's Sword Shop on the street in front offered twenty-two primeval stones. I will sell it to them! I admit defeat! "
Bai Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
