Chapter 105: [Chapter 105]

My ancestors, this is already an unexpected windfall, you absolutely must not stir up any more trouble!

If your father finds out that two little Foundation Establishment cultivators from a remote region bewitched his foolish son into stealing from the family, and then broke off the engagement with the Governor's daughter, even if they had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to pay for the offense.

"How much? We'll buy them!"

Yan Xiao hurriedly took out all the money he had on him, including the medicinal herbs he had already purchased, and Zhou Qing similarly emptied his entire storage bag.

Although they knew these things weren't enough to buy even one, they couldn't just take people's things for nothing.

Zhang Wan Bao hurriedly refused, even looking a bit angry: "Two big brothers, what are you doing? Do you look down on your little brother? This is just a small token of my appreciation for you, and besides, it's not worth much money."

The two of them were between laughter and tears.

You absolutely must not say anything about gratitude; we feel like we are already causing trouble.

"Wait a moment!"

Looking at the two Soul-Forming Pills, Yan Xiao pulled Zhou Qing into a corner again, heads together, whispering.

"Things have already reached this point; why don't we do a good deed to the end and send the Buddha to the west?"

"For the sake of the Soul-Forming Pills, we have no choice."

"Fourth, thank you for your hard work. Continue to perfect this plan and try your best to help him win the beauty. I have a feeling now that if this matter isn't handled well, I'm afraid the two of us will go missing halfway."

"Third Zhou Shixiong, don't scare me."

"It's true, my sixth sense is very accurate."

Zhou Qing was silent; what a mess this had become.

As soon as the two turned around, they saw Zhang Wan Bao smiling and handing over another manual: "Two big brothers, this is the list for this auction. Take a look and see if there's anything you need on it. Just tell your little brother, and I will definitely get it for you."

Seeing this, the two felt their faces twitch again.

You guy, is your brain missing a string?

Even if you are enthusiastic about people, there should be a limit.

Like this, how can your father feel at ease passing the family property to you in the future? I'm afraid it will be squandered away in a few years.

It would be better to have another one sooner.

"Thank you, but these spirit stones must be accepted. Consider it as us buying them. We will definitely pay you back when we have money in the future. Otherwise, our friendship ends here!"

Yan Xiao and Zhou Qing said with serious faces.

Zhang Wan Bao couldn't refuse and had to accept them.

"Two brothers are righteous!" Zhang Wan Bao was full of admiration.

From the initial one thousand mid-grade spirit stones to the current Soul-Forming Pill, the two people before him always handled things one way or another, never dragging their feet.

Such character is so rare.

Seeing Zhang Wan Bao accept them, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me see!"

Yan Xiao then took the manual and flipped through it with full curiosity.

Zhou Qing picked up the image stone again, carefully observing Xiao Xiao Cancan's expression, trying to find a remedy.

At the same time, Wu Shi Chuan walked out of the room, greeted the other guards, and after ensuring his young master was safe and sound, he took a casual glance, but his body trembled violently.

He saw that in the darkness opposite, an old figure had been standing there for who knows how long.

At this moment, the man slowly reached out his hand and beckoned to him gently.

Wu Shi Chuan was terrified, hurriedly walked over, and then respectfully bowed: "Master Fu—"

…………

"Fourth, Fourth—" Just as Zhou Qing was racking his brains to re-plan a strategy for Zhang Wan Bao, Yan Xiao, who was holding the manual, seemed to have suddenly discovered something amazing and ran over in a hurry, full of surprise.

Zhou Qing looked over with full suspicion, only to see a pattern of a spirit herb printed on that page.

【Soul-Breath Immortal Herb, extremely high maturity, perfect quality, starting bid set at one supreme-grade spirit stone, does not accept superior-grade or other spirit stones, can be traded by barter.】

Looking at the text above, the two were instantly so excited that they looked at each other.

This auction actually had a real Soul-Breath Immortal Herb.

Such a treasure is usually priceless. The last time they saw it was in the black market, and that was only a seedling. Even so, the stall owner asked for a supreme-grade spirit stone.

And this thing could heal Master's soul damage of many years. Once missed this time, who knows when they would encounter it again.

After all, the situation with the Second Yuan Shijie was still unclear.

"One supreme-grade spirit stone is just the starting bid; the final transaction price should be around five," Yan Xiao said.

Zhou Qing frowned; the manual said this thing could only be traded with supreme-grade spirit stones, and they didn't even want superior-grade ones.

He really wanted to buy it back for Master.

"What are you looking at? What is this? Soul-Breath Immortal Herb? What is it used for?"

Seeing the two whispering again, Zhang Wan Bao curiously leaned over and soon saw the portrait in the manual.

Then he said: "You want it? Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll steal it for you tonight, and afterwards, I'll just say I ate it."

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This guy, does he really think this is a cheap item? This is a Soul-Breath Immortal Herb that is hard to come by!

Five supreme-grade spirit stones, your father would definitely break your legs, and ours along with them.

But looking at his honest appearance, for some reason, the two were inexplicably moved.

This guy really treated them as friends.

"Don't mess around!" Yan Xiao hurriedly warned.

After all, this guy's brain was missing a string. If you didn't make it clear to him, he might really give them a "surprise" tomorrow.

By then, even if the two had a hundred mouths, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

Oh, first you tricked my son into breaking off the engagement with the Governor's daughter, completely severing the long-standing cooperative relationship between the two families, then you instigated him to steal the Soul-Forming Pills, and now you won't even let go of the Soul-Breath Immortal Herb.

Tomorrow, will you take my life too?

Zhou Qing also said earnestly: "You don't know the cost of firewood and rice if you don't manage the household. You must not do anything stupid. We do need this Soul-Breath Immortal Herb, but we will find a way to get it ourselves."

Zhang Wan Bao said: "Don't worry, it's fine. Even if I get caught, the old man won't do anything to me, at most he'll lock me in a dark room for a few days. After all, he only has me as a son."

After hearing this, the two were between laughter and tears.

Why are you so gullible?

"Brother Wan Bao, listen to me. Your father is actually not easy. Although we have never met, he supports such a large family business alone, busy every day, dealing with all kinds of complex interpersonal relationships. As his son, you should help him, not hold him back."

"Even more so, you cannot take your father's love for you for granted. You understand what I mean, right?" Zhou Qing said sincerely.

Yan Xiao also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, these two Soul-Forming Pills have already helped us a lot. And look at the requirements in the manual; it can only be traded with supreme-grade spirit stones. According to my experience, someone should be using your family's auction to sell it."

"Your father is just taking a small commission from it. If you steal it and give it to us, your family will have to fill this hole. Of course, I also know your family is not short of money, but that's not how things are done, and you must not do this!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wan Bao couldn't help but fall silent.

Then he looked at the two, moved, and suddenly stepped back to bow.

"Two big brothers, thank you for your teachings, Wan Bao understands!"

Seeing this scene, the two finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

They were almost killed by this kid; fortunately, they reacted in time.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Just at this moment, applause sounded outside the door. As the few turned their heads, they saw an old man appear outside the door, who knows when.

As a businessman, Qian Qian Dafu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly sent a sound transmission to the two.

"It's over, it's over. This is Fu Kui, the steward of the Wan Xiang Auction. Everyone respectfully calls him Elder Fu, or Master Fu. His cultivation has long reached the Great Completion of Divine Transformation, and he might even have one foot in the Soul Severance Realm. Even the Governor has to greet him politely."

"Didn't this little ancestor just say that he wanted to take all eight Soul-Forming Pills prepared for the auction? It was because he met this person that he could only take two. It turns out he was afraid of alerting the enemy."

Hearing Qian Qian Dafu's words, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao's faces instantly turned pale.

"Grandpa Fu—"

Seeing Fu Kui appear here, Zhang Wan Bao also felt a bit guilty, but soon showed an honest smile and ran over.

"Grandpa Fu, how did you know I was here? Let me introduce you, they are my..."

"They are the two big brothers you know!" Fu Kui suddenly interrupted Zhang Wan Bao's words, with a smile on his face from beginning to end.

Following this, a terrifying pressure suddenly locked onto the two.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao only felt their throats go dry, immediately shaking their heads in unison, waving their hands repeatedly while bearing the pressure.

"He's joking, we're not close!" the two said in unison.

Zhang Wan Bao: "..."

But soon, Fu Kui laughed out loud and then withdrew the pressure.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I was just ordered by the President to see what kind of fox friends this kid of mine has recently made, encouraging him to even return the marriage contract to others. Now it seems that this child's judgment doesn't seem bad. You two are not bad!"

Fu Kui praised sincerely.

The two looked embarrassed.

They really didn't know about the marriage contract.

"Thank you for the praise, Senior!" The two hurriedly bowed.

Zhang Wan Bao still wanted to say something, but Fu Kui held up a finger, signaling him to be quiet for a while.

Then he looked at the two and said: "Wanbao is a simple-minded child. He has never left Lingyun Prefecture since he grew up, including Xiao Cancan, who grew up under our eyes. What we can do is give them the best growing environment, including people and things."

"We don't welcome those with impure motives. Of course, this might also cause him to see everything as the brightest, but so what? We have our own considerations for what should be experienced at what age."

Hearing Fu Kui's words, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao nodded in agreement, and even envied Zhang Wan Bao for having such a father who protected him so well.

They also seemed to understand his simple behavior recently.

And after hearing this, Zhang Wan Bao looked thoughtful.

Fu Kui continued: "You two look like you are not much older than Wan Bao, but your elders have educated you very well. At the very least, your character is impeccable. It is Wan Bao's good fortune to know you."

"I have heard about everything. It has nothing to do with you, so don't worry. Even regarding the Soul-Breath Immortal Herb, I have a certain right to dispose of it."

"If you need it, I can give you a discount for Wan Bao's sake and trade it to you first, without it appearing at the auction. Otherwise, you might be targeted by some people with ulterior motives."

Hearing Fu Kui's words, the two's eyes lit up instantly.

It had to be said that this was a good opportunity to handle it secretly internally, avoiding many unnecessary troubles later.

But the key was, they had no money!

"Senior, please wait a moment!" After Zhou Qing bowed again, he hurriedly pulled Yan Xiao to the side.

Then he sent a sound transmission: "Third Zhou Shixiong, I think we can try."

Yan Xiao looked at Zhou Qing and said: "You mean that piece of Chaos Chaos Xuanjin?"

Zhou Qing nodded: "The previous plan was to have Master come over and let him handle this piece of Chaos Chaos Xuanjin, whether to bring it back to the sect or handle it on the spot. But the danger coefficient of the Mother-Child Scroll is too high, and neither you nor I want to let Master take this risk."

"Now I think we shouldn't easily give up this opportunity; it's worth taking a risk once."

Yan Xiao frowned and said: "Fourth, you have to know that such a large piece of Chaos Chaos Xuanjin is worth at least seven supreme-grade spirit stones. I also want to exchange this Soul-Breath Immortal Herb for Old Mo, but the premise is your and my safety, or more precisely, your safety. I promised Master when I left that I would take good care of you."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly: "I want to gamble once. They have a big family and a big business; maybe they don't care about these few spirit stones at all."

Yan Xiao said with a solemn face: "Fourth, remember one thing from your Zhou Shixiong: never try to gamble on human nature. Often, many things are actually what others want you to see."

Zhou Qing was silent.

But soon, Yan Xiao patted him on the shoulder with a full smile.

"But this time, Zhou Shixiong will gamble with you!"

【Heart-Mirror Point +9】

The note for Yan Xiao's 【God-like Little Shidi】 entry instantly changed to 【Little Shidi with Great Courage】.

Looking at the Third Zhou Shixiong, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, Third Zhou Shixiong. If there is any accident, I will use all means to help you leave safely!" Zhou Qing said seriously.

Yan Xiao almost laughed out loud, fortunately, it was just a sound transmission.

"You help me leave? It's more like I help you. Alright, alright, it's just selling something, making it sound like we brothers are parting forever."

"If it's meant to be, it will be; if not, don't force it. We picked this thing up on the way anyway. At worst, we'll just kneel down and give it to them for free, just begging them to spare our lives. There's nothing shameful about that."

Third Zhou Shixiong was always so optimistic and open-minded, which made Zhou Qing feel much more at ease.

Then, the two walked out.

With a wave of Zhou Qing's hand, the dazzling Chaos Chaos Xuanjin appeared in his hand.

Ever since the old hen was adopted by the Third Zhou Shixiong, this thing had been kept by him.

In the Third Zhou Shixiong's words, it was because he had better luck, and keeping it on him might make money beget money.

Unexpectedly, not only did it not beget money this time, but it also had to be given away.

But the two didn't feel any heartache at all; instead, they were full of pride.

And when he saw such a large piece of Chaos Chaos Xuanjin, Fu Kui was obviously stunned, full of surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"This is... Chaos Chaos Xuanjin? Where did you two get it?" Fu Kui asked.

Zhou Qing said: "It's my Master's family heirloom. Senior, I don't know if it can be used for exchange?"

Fu Kui laughed out loud: "More than just exchange, my auction will even have to pay you back! Not bad, not bad, the quality is excellent, and it even carries a natural fishy smell, as if it were just unearthed."

"Not only can it replace the vacancy of the Soul-Breath Immortal Herb, but it can also serve as the finale item. If you trust me, give the thing to me, and I will come to find you at this time tomorrow, how about it?"

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate and handed the Chaos Chaos Xuanjin over directly.

Seeing this, the admiration in Fu Kui's eyes grew even stronger: "Full of courage, really not worried at all that I would swallow it alone."

Zhou Qing smiled and looked at Zhang Wan Bao.

"I trust him!"

Zhang Wan Bao was moved instantly and immediately looked at Fu Kui.

"Grandpa Fu, they are my good friends, and even better brothers. Can you give them another discount?"

Fu Kui took the Chaos Chaos Xuanjin, looked at Zhang Wan Bao, and smiled: "That depends on you."

"Me?" Zhang Wan Bao was confused.

Fu Kui didn't want to say more, but said: "It's getting late, so let's go first!"

After speaking, he pulled Zhang Wan Bao and left.

Only after watching their backs disappear into the night did the two realize that their backs were already soaked.

Trading with a Great Completion Divine Transformation expert they met for the first time, it had to be said, was full of adventure.

After all, if the other party wanted to embezzle, they only needed to move a finger to completely erase all traces here.

At least seven supreme-grade spirit stones could be pocketed without anyone knowing.

"That was Chaos Chaos Xuanjin!"

Qian Qian Dafu, who realized it later, couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao sat on the chairs in unison, scrambling to grab water to drink, and then looked at each other and laughed out loud.

It seems they gambled correctly!

…………

"So, that little fatty is the young master of the Wan Xiang Auction? Your father is the Governor of Lingyun Prefecture?"

Inside the room, Li Li Shitao was full of shock.

To be honest, whether it was the previous owner of this body or her after starting a new life, she had no idea about the true identities of the two.

Xiao Xiao Cancan nodded, took a discreet look at Li Li Shitao's chest, and then said: "Sorry, Sister Tao, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"No, no, it's fine. You have such a good background, I'm too happy for you," Li Li Shitao said with a full smile.

Then she rested her head on one hand, her hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall, her eyes shining: "You've been with me for two days, doesn't your father worry about you?"

Xiao Xiao Cancan turned slightly and said: "He is very busy, I guess he doesn't have time. Let's not talk about this for now. What do you think Zhang Wan Bao meant by suddenly bringing this thing?"

Li Li Shitao looked at the marriage contract on the bed, thought for a while and said: "Since you treat me as a best friend, it's only right for me to give you advice, but the premise is that I need to know the story between you."

Xiao Cancan nodded, cleared her thoughts and said: "The matter goes back to when my father was just transferred to Lingyun Prefecture. After the old Governor passed away, the Imperial Capital sent my father to take up the post of Governor..."

The soft moonlight spilled into the room through the window lattice. On the spacious carved bed, a beautiful woman with lingering charm and a simple-minded girl talked gently, and laughter came from time to time.

And outside, in various buildings and on trees, there were figures hidden in the dark, their eyes scanning the surroundings like hawks. Anyone who made a move would be checked by someone immediately...

The next evening, under the anxious waiting of the two, they finally saw Zhang Wan Bao again, followed by Fu Kui.

Zhang Wan Bao looked proud, as if he had won a battle, and walked in with a swaggering pace.

"Look, what is this?" He took out a long jade box directly from his storage bag, and inside, a complete Soul-Breath Immortal Herb was sealed.

The two's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly took it.

After confirming it was correct, they bowed excitedly to Zhang Wan Bao and Fu Kui.

Fu Kui said: "If you want to thank someone, thank this kid Wan Bao. He spent the whole night grinding his teeth with the President last night, even using tricks like rolling on the ground, just to get it at the lowest price. It could have been sold for five supreme-grade spirit stones, but he calculated it for you at four."

"In addition, the piece of Chaos Chaos Xuanjin you gave me was appraised by a professional team and set at seven supreme-grade spirit stones. After his fuss, it was finally traded for eight. These are the four supreme-grade spirit stones after offsetting, keep them well."

Fu Kui immediately took out four supreme-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

These were four ordinary supreme-grade spirit stones, containing very high spiritual power, almost without any impurities.

You have to know that in any sect, supreme-grade spirit stones are strategic materials, used for rapid healing or activating the final trump card.

Better than supreme-grade spirit stones are the Five Elements spirit stones and other rarer spirit stones.

Such as thunder spirit stones, wind spirit stones, etc.

Previously, when the Second Uncle thanked Zhou Qing for bringing him out of the cave, what he threw to him was a water-attribute spirit stone among the Five Elements spirit stones.

The spiritual power was gentler, and absorbing it also made people calm down.

"Thank you, Senior, thank you, Brother Wan Bao!"

The two were full of gratitude. Counting it up, they had gained two extra supreme-grade spirit stones for nothing.

Zhang Wan Bao was smug: "What's there to thank? Who told us to be brothers."

"The auction will start tomorrow, I still have things to do, so I'll go first!" Fu Kui said.

The two hurriedly bid farewell.

"It's just like a dream!" Yan Xiao looked at the four supreme-grade spirit stones in his hand, his eyes shining.

The mission to Lingyun Prefecture this time was over-completed in just two days.

The Soul-Forming Pills became two, they had four extra supreme-grade spirit stones, and they also got a Soul-Breath Immortal Herb.

More importantly, they met a rich second generation.

"We'll take one Soul-Forming Pill each, and two spirit stones each!" Yan Xiao said.

Zhou Qing also accepted them happily.

Qian Qian Dafu on the side was so envious, but no one noticed that after that full smile, a flash of greed flickered.

"Two brothers, since your business is done, is it my turn next?" Zhang Wan Bao said.

The two smiled, and Zhou Qing said: "Don't worry, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for them, just leave it to us. The next thing you need to do is to keep yourself busy."

"Keep busy?" Zhang Wan Bao was thoughtful.

Zhou Qing said: "Doesn't the auction start tomorrow? I guess that Xiao Xiao Cancan should participate, right? Even if she doesn't, it's fine. You just need to do your own thing well. At that time, you can do this..."
