Chapter 12: Nourishing Spiritual Liquid
After taking the magic sword into his body, Xiao Se walked out of the Xiao family, turned again and again on the wide streets, and finally came to a medium-sized imitation market to the west of Wutan City, which was owned by the Xiao family.
"Brother, there are so many people here." Long Kui's excited voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Looking at the crowds of people around him, Xiao Se smiled faintly and said, "This is a medium-sized imitation market belonging to the Xiao family. It is a place for mercenaries near the Warcraft Mountains to trade."
"Brother, do you want to buy anything?" Long Kui's heavenly voice rang in Xiao Se's heart.
"Well, I plan to refine a second-grade elixir that can assist me in my cultivation. It's called Peiyuan Lingye. I have all the medicinal materials, but now the only thing I lack is a first-grade wood-type magic core." Xiao Se gently touched the magic sword pattern on the joint of his right forearm and responded in his heart.
Feeling Xiao Se's tenderness, Long Kui smiled and said, "Then Long Kui will also help my brother find it. Although Long Kui can't fight, her perception is still very sharp."
"Thank you then." Xiao Se curled the corners of his mouth when he heard Long Kui say that she couldn't fight. Indeed, she couldn't fight in the blue state, but in the red state, her combat power was probably off the charts. I just don't know to what extent she could exert that power.
After wandering around all the way, Xiao Se slowly entered the depths of the Imitation City. The items traded in the depths of the imitation city were more valuable than those outside, and the probability of appearing in first-level wood magic cores was higher.
After visiting seven or eight stalls, Xiao Se saw many different kinds of magic cores, but he couldn't find the first-level wood magic core he needed.
"Brother, three hundred meters southwest, there is a crystal emitting wood-attribute energy. It should be the wood-attribute magic core you are looking for."
Just when Xiao Se was feeling a little tired, Long Kui's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
Hearing this, Xiao Se's eyes lit up and he smiled in his heart, "Thank you! Long Kui."
He then quickly walked to the stall Long Kui pointed out, bent down, grabbed a blood-stained green crystal on the ground, tossed it gently, and smiled at a middle-aged mercenary with a simple look behind the stall: "Boss, this is a magic core produced from some magical beast."
Seeing Xiao Se wearing the uniform of a Xiao family disciple, the middle-aged mercenary hurriedly introduced him: "Hey, young master, you have good eyesight. This is the magic core of a first-level magical beast, the Ghost Wood Fox. Among the first-level magic cores, it is considered to be top-grade. Back then, to kill this Ghost Wood Fox, three of our brothers died."
At this point, the middle-aged mercenary shed tears of regret was silent for a moment, and continued: "If the young master likes you, I won't cheat you. Just 700 gold coins."
The first sentence touched Xiao Se for a moment, but the price quoted afterward made Xiao Se couldn't help but twitch his lips.
An ordinary first-level magic core costs between four hundred and four hundred and fifty, and a better one will never exceed five hundred. He charges seven hundred for a first-level ghost wood fox magic core. He thinks he is a sucker.
After wiping the bloody Ghost Fox Demon Core, Xiao Se put it back and said calmly, "It's too expensive. I can't find a first-level Demon Core worth 700 gold coins even if I search the entire Magic Beast Mountain Range. The Ghost Fox is indeed difficult to deal with among the first-level Magic Beasts, but I don't believe you when you said that they lost three brothers. Could it be that they haven't even reached the level of a fighter? I'll take 450 gold coins. If not, I'll look for another place."
If he hadn't seen that this wood-attributed magic core was of good quality, he would have wanted to run away.
As if he hadn't expected that the 11 or 12-year-old kid in front of him had such a sharp eye, the middle-aged mercenary put away his simple and honest expression, twitched his mouth, and smiled awkwardly: "It's a little less, after all, it's not easy for us brothers. This is a ghost wood fox, looking at the entire first-level magic beast, it is an extremely difficult existence to deal with."
Xiao Se shook his head and said, "It is precisely because I know the Ghost Fox that I bid four hundred and fifty. The general price of a first-level magic core is between four hundred and four hundred and fifty. This is already the highest price."
"How about a little more? Five hundred gold coins."
The middle-aged mercenary was very dissatisfied with the price.
"Four hundred and fifty, any more, and I'll leave." Xiao Se stared at the middle-aged mercenary.
"Four hundred and nine?"
Hearing this, Xiao Se turned around and left without saying a word.
"Wait, four hundred and eight!"
"Four hundred and seven!"
"Four hundred and fifty, damn it!"
Xiao Se turned around and smiled, saying as he made the deal: "I am just running errands for others. What do you expect me to do?"
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, no longer as honest and attentive as before, "Don't come on, I think you want to buy it deliberately, and I need money to treat my brother's injury, otherwise, do you think I would sell you."
Keep the Ghostwood Fox Demon Core.
To ensure that he could successfully refine the Peiyuan Spirit Liquid, Xiao Se looked around again.
Not long after, he spent the remaining 420 gold coins to buy an ordinary first-level wood-attribute magic core and then walked leisurely toward the exit of the imitation city.
He had almost spent all his gold coins, and there was nothing special he needed to buy, so there was no point in keeping them.
Five hundred meters away from the exit of Fangshi, the commotion of the crowd attracted Xiao Se's attention.
Through the crowd, Xiao Se saw that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er were blocked by a young man with a wretched appearance. Behind the young man was a group of ugly middle-aged strong men.
Xiao Se roughly sensed that most of the middle-aged strong men were fighters, and the lowest one had the eighth level of fighting spirit.
"I didn't expect it to be Galeo. Now Xiao Yan's fighting spirit seems to have dropped to the fourth level. It looks like he's going to suffer." Muttering softly in his heart, Xiao Se quickly flashed into the crowd.
In the center of the crowd.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Xun'er here. It seems like we are destined to meet."
With eyes filled with passion and undisguised admiration, Galeo stared at the graceful girl standing not far away and couldn't help licking his lips.
Xun'er frowned slightly and was about to scold him, but she saw Xiao Yan beside her step forward, blocking her way, and shouted at Galio: "Galio, what do you mean, get out of my way."
Xun'er looked at Galio indifferently. It was no different from looking at a dead person. She would never let go of such a playboy who dared to tease her.
"Xiao Yan, it's you again. You come to disturb my good thing again."
Seeing Xiao Yan standing in front of Xun'er, Galeo's already pale face became quite ugly, and his pupils were full of malice.
Seeing this, a short and thin middle-aged man behind Galeo leaned over to his ear and reminded him, "Young Master, the master has instructed us not to have a conflict with the Xiao family, especially Xiao Yan."
"Shut up!" Without even turning his head, Galeo slapped the short and thin middle-aged man in the face.
He was still very wary of the first genius in Wutan City in the past hundred years. His father, Jialebi, had also warned him not to openly clash with him.
But now there are more and more people watching, all waiting to laugh at him.
Galeo also has to save his face. If he admits defeat like this, and in front of Xun'er, how will he survive in Wutan City in the future?
