Zhen Yuan thought and a golden light flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the thought didn't linger in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could grasp anything, the insight disappeared and his mind returned to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We seem to be on the South side of the market.\" Shen Xu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he knew, the market was divided into several regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he could see beast cages a short distance away, he supposed they were on the South side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to buy a pet?\" Zhen Yuan asked but Shen Xu subconsciously took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't dare.\" He hurriedly said, waving his hands in refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Two Reeds town, they found an egg in a gambling stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shen Xu contracted it, Zhen Yuan dug a small pool in the Chaos Flame space, filled it with spiritual water, and placed the egg there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the concentration of spiritual aura in the Chaos Flame space dropped dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that happened, the two were a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn't suspect the egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they thought the space was undergoing some kind of transformation which required a lot of spiritual aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, the two happily invested another five million spirit stones into the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, their happiness didn't last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a day later, the spiritual aura disappeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the two were at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was nothing they could do but invest more spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seven days, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu used twenty million spirit stones to sustain the Chaos Flame space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had also realised the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful observation, Zhen Yuan realised that the aura in the space was disappearing into the egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, the two fell into a desperate situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Zhen Yuan didn't plan to sell the talismans he accumulated until they arrived in Dragon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because they couldn't sustain the consumption of the space, he was forced to sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every town they passed, Zhen Yuan sold a batch of talismans and Shen Xu sold the few weapons he had refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after the first seven days, the crazy consumption slowed to a manageable rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shen Xu was deeply traumatised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the experience, the double shuddered and desperately wanted to leave the beast region of the Anyang market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it will hatch a powerful creature.\" Zhen Yuan comforted with a smile in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It better be.\" Shen Xu snarled through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the cost of buying the gambling stone, the two had already spent more than fifty million spirit stones on the egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the egg didn't hatch a powerful creature, Shen Xu didn't know what he would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It better be powerful.\" He repeated himself in a slightly threatening tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhen Yuan rubbed his wife's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, he knew the stone would hatch a powerful creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the hatchling would likely be a helpless baby for the first few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, powerful creatures needed specific and rare resources to grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their luck was bad, he and Shen Xu would continue to bleed for hundreds if not thousands of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I better not mention it.' Zhen Yuan thought and stole a glance at the double who was still gritting his teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, there are many ingredients in this beast market. Do you want to look around? Maybe you will find something you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Xu immediately revived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go quickly.\" He said and the two began to walk around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incense stick later, the two arrived at a stall selling three coloured earth chickens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, how do you sell these?\" Shen Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he still had a lot of chicken-type ingredients, Shen Xu couldn't suppress his desire to try new foods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the three coloured earth chickens, he naturally wanted to taste them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten spirit stones for one chicken.\" The owner said and Shen Xu couldn't help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are they so expensive?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My chickens are different from ordinary three-coloured earth chickens.\" The boss said with a proud expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are they different?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My chickens were raised with herbs. When they are cooked, they release an herbal fragrance and their meat has a medicinal effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard this, Shen Xu couldn't help but be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ayuan, what do you think?] He transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We can buy a few to try. If you like them, we will come back for more.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Good.] The double nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he bought ten chickens, and while waiting for the boss to slaughter them, the two went to a nearby stall and replaced their level one demon horses with level two demon horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu arrived on the East side of the market. The East side was mainly for herbs, seeds, soil, and other plant-related things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhen Yuan looked around and pointed at a stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to buy some seven-leaf fir grass seeds.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When drawing talismans, three things were needed; talisman paper, talisman brush, and talisman liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, these three things were easy to buy and their price wasn't high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan preferred to refine his own talisman paper and talisman liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had the Chaos Flame space, he wanted to plant more seven-leaf fir grass which was the main ingredient for making talisman paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to. We have them in storage.\" Shen Xu winked at Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he still didn't recognise most of the seeds in the Chaos Flame Space storage room, Shen Xu had a preliminary understanding of the common ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the seven-leaf fir grass seeds were one of the few he recognised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will let Xiaoren plant them.\" Shen Xu said and immediately contacted the ginseng spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he smiled at Zhen Yuan and nodded before he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's look around. Maybe we will find a leak.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, their search was not fruitful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they bought a few spirit grasses, all were common and there were no leaks to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching for more than three hours, the two left the East and arrived at the Western region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The West stalls mainly sold weapons, ores, and different refining materials. As a weapon refiner, Shen Xu was naturally interested in these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, did you read the encyclopaedias we previously bought?\" Zhen Yuan suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmmm.\" Shen Xu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was difficult to buy a weapon refining inheritance, it was easy to get refining materials encyclopaedias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he carefully read these encyclopedias, Shen Xu could recognise thousands of ores and weapon-refining materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Zhen Yuan smiled and the two began to walk around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ores are slightly cheaper than buying from a shop.\" Shen Xu said after buying thirty pieces of black iron ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stalls are easier and cheaper to run than shops. It makes sense for goods to be cheaper.\" Zhen Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take advantage.\" The double smiled and led Zhen Yuan to another stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Shen Xu bought two hundred pieces of black iron ore, one hundred pieces of snake skin, and a batch of random ores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, did you buy too many?\" Zhen Yuan couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Shen Xu could only refine three kinds of weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he successfully refined all the materials, they would have hundreds of swords, hammers, and whips in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the weapons were level one, they were ordinary and had no special characteristics. Because of this, their value and demand were not high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After reading the refining materials encyclopedias, I got some ideas. When I have time, I want to try out some things. Maybe I will be able to improve the quality of the weapons I refine.\" Shen Xu confided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Zhen Yuan smiled and looked at his wife with a proud expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you think I am wasting spirit stones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you have new ideas, it's beneficial to explore them. If the spirit stones are lost, we will earn more.\" Zhen Yuan assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Canglan continent, few cultivators dared to try new things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they faithfully followed the formulas left behind by their predecessors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Shen Xu wanted to try new things, Zhen Yuan didn't want to discourage him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" Shen Xu smiled with a soft look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"XiaoXu, when you advance to the foundation establishment realm, you can refine a natal weapon. Have you thought about what kind of weapon you would like to use?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, an unnatural look appeared on the double's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his first fight, he used a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he continued using the sword and didn't really think about the kind of weapon he wanted to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when their caravan stopped at Heilong Town, Shen Xu happened to see a fight between two cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the cultivators was a double who used a whip and the other was a burly man who used a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the double won the fight, Shen Xu was more impressed by the hammer in the burly man's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, Shen Xu felt the hammer was a domineering weapon and also wanted to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's on your mind?\" Zhen Yuan asked with a curious look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayuan...\" Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think of a hammer?\" The double asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Zhen Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of their small stature and weaker bodies, most doubles preferred soft weapons like whips and fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not soft weapons, they would choose swords which were relatively light and easy to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shen Xu had always used a sword, Zhen Yuan assumed the double preferred swords over other weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan wasn't against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a little out there for a double to use a hammer, Zhen Yuan wanted to support Shen Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he naturally smiled and rubbed his wife's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to use a hammer, I will support you. However, it's not easy to handle such a weapon. In the future, you will have to pay a lot of attention to body refining.\" Zhen Yuan reminded with a solemn look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Xu nodded but still looked a little uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you think it's a little strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter.\" Zhen Yuan assured and Shen Xu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" He muttered and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's best to refine my natal weapon before I condense a golden core. However, it's not easy to find good materials in the Canglan continent.\" Shen Xu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's take our time. Although it's preferable to refine the natal weapon as early as possible, it won't make a big difference if you wait a little longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmmm..., how about you? Do you have a natal weapon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet.\" Zhen Yuan stated and then explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will refine the brush I got into my natal weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that okay?\" Shen Xu couldn't help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, it was best to personally refine a natal weapon rather than use a contracted weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay.\" Zhen Yuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, he always felt the brush was created just for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he personally refined a natal weapon, his ideal would be no different from the brush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are sure.\" Shen Xu said and the two continued to look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their way out of the west market, Zhen Yuan suddenly stopped in front of a stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall was ordinary and the wares were common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan couldn't look away from a large piece of grey stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, how do you sell this ore?\" He asked, pointing at the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>",2011,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.614Z",1,"novelbin.me","663ed0835a07b9e2505fb1436736aadbfe1e51fa988b76764f1a66f78e621bf7","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-32","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-30",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
