Chapter 21 Such A Rarely Seen Fool
Mo Sanshao's (the third childe of Mo's family) face slightly changed colors, and his eyes reflected elusory feelings, and then he snorted coldly, "I will not fight here. Since both of us have taken a fancy to the Internal Elixir of the Earth Turtle, we can bid fairly."
Shiao Chen nodded and agreed.
The old man in black nodded satisfactorily. He lifted the restrain and took out the Internal Elixir from the crystal screen and said in a loud voice, "We Refining Pavilion always sell at the highest price. Since the two taoist friends don't want to give it up, then name your prices. The Internal Elixir of the Earth Turtle, a second-level peak demonic beast, is priced starting at 800 low-grade spiritual stones."
"1,000 low-grade spiritual stones." Mo's eyes were full of pride, and he made his first offer with 200 stones higher than the starting price.
Shiao Chen glanced at the man and said gently, "1001 low-grade spiritual stones."
"You!" Mo Sanshao's eyes flashed with anger. He snorted coldly, "2,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
"2,001." Shiao Chen remained calm with a gentle voice.
"3000!"
"3001."
...
"8,000 low-grade spiritual stones!" When speaking, Mo's face was sullen and his eyes were cold. At this moment, though secretly regretted, he was already in for it. If he quit halfway, he would definitely lose face. He had no choice but to keep on bidding.
He stared at Shiao and saw the latter was relaxed. He couldn't bear tearing him to pieces to relieve the hatred! However, in his heart, he had made up his mind. If the latter was to add one more stone, he would turn around and leave. Even if he would lose face, he'd like to see how Shiao Chen would settle this matter.
"8,000 low-grade spiritual stones for an Internal Elixir of the Second-level Peak Earth Turtle. Tsk, tsk, that's really generous of you." Shiao didn't hide the sneer on his face. He turned his head and said to Hu San, "Have you ever seen such a fool during your ten-year staying in the city of Haitian?"

Hu San smiled awkwardly. Seeing Mo Sanshao's gloomy face, he dared not speak.
"Alas, just spit it out. Fighting is fobidden in the city. Would he dare do anything to you?" Shiao Chen pursed his lips and waved his hand, saying with a tone of pretending generosity, "Since you are sincere in buying this, I'll let you have it. Later, I'll go to other stores and take a look. Maybe 800 low-grade spiritual stones will be enough. Tsk, tsk, my taoist friend, you do care less about the money. I really admire you."
Hahaha!
The bid for the Internal Elixir of the Earth Turtle had already attracted the attention of the cultivators in the shop. Hearing this, all of them bursted into laughing and looked at Mo Sanshao with amusement.
Shiao Chen suddenly stopped his bidding, which stunned Mo Sanshao, and then he became angry because of embarrassment. He stretched out his hand to stop Shiao Chen and said in a cold voice, "Shop guard, I doubt if he has so many spiritual stones. His bidding was nothing more than a bluffing. I require to check the spiritual stones on his body. Otherwise, the previous offer would not be counted. "
Shiao Chen raised his head and glanced at the man, sneering without saying a word. He took out a storage bag and lifted the restrain, then put it in his hand. He said in a loud voice, "You can check it out, my taoist friends. Let's see if I was bluffing."
With a sweep of the divine sense, Mo's face instantly became sullen. There were 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones in the storage bag.
The surrounding cultivators who had checked with the divine sense couldn't help but sneer when their eyes fell on Mo Sanshao.
Shiao Chen smiled and put the storage bag away, then sneered, "I have already asked someone to check my spiritual stones. Shouldn't you let us check yours?"
"You... "Mo Sanshao's face turned pale, then he said angrily," I don't have so many spiritual stones on me, but this worths more than 8,000 low-grade spiritual stones. "As he spoke, he took out a green fruit, which was the size of a kid's fist and gave off a refreshing fragrance.

"Qingzhu Fruit! !"
"I never expect this!"
Seeing the fruit in Mo Sanshao's hands, the guard in black was greatly surprised, and then his eyes were full of ecstasy.
"Yes, it is exactly the Qingzhu Fruit that can help the cultivators at the stage of Foundation Establishment to improve their innate physique and refine their skills. I wonder if this might worth 8,000 low-grade spiritual stones." Mo saw the astonishment of the crowd. Though handing the fruit over makes his heart ache, he still looked as if he couldn't care less.
"Enough, definitely enough!" The guard was all smiles. He took the Qingzhu Fruit and checked it carefully, then took out a jade box and put it into his storage bag, and handed the Internal Elixir to Mo Sanshao.
Taking the Internal Elixir of the Earth Turtle, Mo Sanshao was quite complacent. He looked at Shiao Chen arrogantly, and only to hear the latter snort gently, "It's surprising that you should exchange the Qingzhu Fruit for an Internal Elixir of the Earth Turtle. Seeing such an rarely seen fool really makes the trip worth my while."
Mo: …
Shiao Chen got the Sky Seal from the old Mingxiao Monster. Because the seal was damaged when colliding with the Flying Needle Danbao, Shiao Chen got the idea to buy the Internal Elixir of the Earth Turtle, hoping the Elixir would help restore the Sky Seal, but he didn't expect to be involved in such a thing.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry. Shiao Chen had the cone-shaped magic weapon in hand, so he didn't need to worry about it for now.
After leaving the Refining Chamber, he went to several shops under Hu San's guidance, but he couldn't find anything he needed. Besides, he rarely rested for half a month to hurry his journey. Feeling a little tired, Shiao Chen settled into a secluded courtyard under Hu San's arrangement. Then he gave Hu San five low-grade spiritual stones and sent him away.
The courtyard was specially rented for cultivators. The environment was quiet and there was a small secret training chamber. At this moment, Shiao Chen sat cross-legged on a mat, sweeping out a powerful divine sense that was comparable to the early stage of Gold Core. After a while, finding nothing unusual, he nodded with satisfaction. However, in case of any accident, he still took out several formation flags from his storage bag to prevent others from spying on. Then he took out two Blood Jade Dragon Teeth Rice from the bag and patted it with his hand. One of them disappeared into his body instantly.
Under the inner vision of the divine sense, the sleeping Yu Ji's soul instinctively wrapped around the Blood Jade Dragon Teeth Rice. Traces of black light flashed, and traces of vitality spilled out from the Rice and merged into Yu ji's soul.
Shiao Chen checked carefully and found that Yu Ji still had no signs of awakening. He couldn't help sighing in his heart and checked again without finding anything unusual, so he carefully withdrew his divine sense.
"Last time, in order to refine the Extreme Yin Evil Spirit, sister's soul was consumed too much. Even being nourished by the Blood Jade Dragon Teeth Rice, there is no sign of awakening in the past few months."
Sighing in his heart, Shiao swallowed the other Blood Jade Dragon Teeth Rice and wrapped it with the inner magic power. He drew the vitality from it and kept absorbing it into himself. A warm and comfortable feeling rose, making him smile involuntarily.
