Shen Xu thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was not envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhen Yuan was confident, Shen Xu no longer worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, both groups walked around and picked a few more stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were done, they met in front of a female attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you sell these stones?\" Xiao Weimin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question, the female attendant first looked at the stones in their hands and then the piles around the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stones from the first pile are one hundred spirit stones each.\" She said and pointed to the pile of old stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those from the second pile are five hundred each, and from the third pile are one thousand each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master, you have two stones from the first pile and four from the third pile.

Your total is two thousand spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Xiao Weimin and Zhen Yuan did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They paid the spirit stones and were ready to put the gambling stones in their storage bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment, two guests.\" The attendant quickly stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is something wrong?\" Xiao Weimin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our gambling hall has a stone cutter. If the young masters don't mind, they can have the stones cut here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't be necessary.\" Zhen Yuan immediately put his stones away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of his three stones, two were invaluable treasures, and the last was precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this, he didn't want to expose them in front of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to cut mine.\" Xiao Weimin said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Zhen Yuan, the protagonist had a strong background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in a remote place like Two Reeds town, no one would rob him and risk offending his master and the Xiao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please come with me.\" The attendant said, and the group followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How are his stones?] Shen Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Good but not better than ours.] Zhen Yuan answered proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't know what was in the stones, he could see their laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the stones he picked, the protagonist's stones had fewer and less complex laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Shen Xu asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than answer, Zhen Yuan rubbed his wife's hair and turned to the stone cutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will start.\" The person said, and Xiao Weimin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the stone cutter began cutting, and the first stone was quickly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a golden hairpin.\" Qin Ran said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the stone was an antique-looking golden hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the hairpin was exquisite, it was a female accessory, and Shen Xu wasn't interested in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It's a defence growth weapon.] Zhen Yuan secretly transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Xu heard that, his eyes widened in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growth weapons were ancient weapons whose level increased with the contractor's cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the novel, Xiao Weimin's Heaven Piercing Spear was also a growth weapon he found at an ordinary weapons shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even with his luck, the protagonist did not find another growth weapon until he arrived in the Tianqi continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Did heaven open a cheat for the protagonist?' Shen Xu couldn't help but wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, he was more interested in watching how Xiao Weimin would handle the weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was a Qin Ran in front of him and a Lin Mengmeng waiting in the Divine Rainbow Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Weimin, I like this hairpin very much. Can you give it to me?\" Qin Ran asked in a coquettish voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" Xiao Weimin frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't understand female accessories, he understood weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the hairpin was a precious growth weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that, how could he be willing to give it to a random woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The golden hairpin is good-looking and matches Miss Qin's red robe.\" Shen Xu said with a playful smile in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Weimin, even Brother Shen thinks the golden hairpin is suitable for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Shen Xu shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they met, Qin Ran had never given him a good look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young woman called him 'brother', Shen Xu felt quite uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Qin, I am sorry. I want to give this hairpin to my wife.\" Xiao Weimin finally decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Bai Guo and Qin Ran were taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Brother Weimin married?\" Qin Ran questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your senior brother has a wife.\" Xiao Weimin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qin Ran and Bai Guo were not discouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was common for talented people to have three wives and four concubines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if Xiao Weimin had a wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they got into his eyes, would they need to worry about not being favoured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master Xiao is a young hero, and his wife must be a rare jade.\" Shen Xu added oil to the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Zhen Yuan suppressed the smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why didn't I know my wife is so bad?'

Although he is a stallion, he is not stupid.' Shen Xu thought and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's good enough to light a fire in his backyard.' He comforted himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I cut the second stone?\" The stone cutter broke the tense atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please go ahead.\" Xiao Weimin quickly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the second item was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the item was not a weapon but a flaming stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the stone, Xiao Weimin smiled and turned to Bai Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GuoGuo, when we return to the academy, I will ask Uncle Qi to refine a furnace for you.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, young master Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you call me?\" The protagonist asked in disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, brother Weimin.\" Bai Guo said, and Qin Ran couldn't help but feel sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She liked Xiao Weimin and did her best to get close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiao Weimin didn't like her as much as he liked Bai Guo and Shen Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What's so good about someone who is neither a man nor a woman?' She grumbled in her heart but didn't show her dissatisfaction on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master Bai is so lucky.\" She said, and Bai Guo smiled under his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, three stones were opened back-to-back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the three, two stones had level two weapons, and one had a soul nourishing jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Weimin kept the jade for himself and gave the weapons to his two companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open the last stone.\" He said to the stone cutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" The cutter said and began to chip away at the last stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Shen Xu felt a stir in his body and frowned in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his confusion didn't last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last item was revealed, he couldn't help but envy the protagonist's good luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire gathering grass.\" Bai Guo exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire gathering grass was a rare elixir that could extract the fire element from heaven and earth qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a fire root cultivator, using it to cultivate would result in double the reward for half the effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Weimin, the fire gathering grass can be absorbed raw or refined into fire gathering pills. It's a good thing for fire root cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Xiao Weimin turned to Shen Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master Shen, I have yet to give you a meeting gift. Why don't I give the grass to you?\" Xiao Weimin offered generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Do I dare to take it?' Shen Xu almost rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the fire gathering grass was useful to him, it wasn't necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his chaos flame space, he had more time than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the chaos flame space was predominantly a flame space, filled with the fire element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he cultivated there, the result would be the same as refining a fire gathering pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your kindness, but the fire gathering grass is too precious. Young master Xiao should keep it for himself.\" Shen Xu refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From reading the novel, he knew that Xiao Weimin had the five elements physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, five root cultivators were trash in the Canglan continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiao Weimin's five roots had the same size and purity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, a vision appeared at his birth, and he was recognised as a genius from a young age.\u003C\u002Fp>",1503,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.614Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb485d00ac8495ea1c1abb2625c33349084cd3e5d64c1c3762cec4205a48cd34","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-21","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-19",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
