Chapter 45

In the following few days, Zhou Qing almost never left his house, immersing himself wholeheartedly in the comprehension of the "Silver Dragon Hand" and "Silver Dragon Step."

Moreover, he luckily harvested another spirit egg. When absorbing it, that feeling of comfort permeated his whole body, and he could even clearly perceive the black and white spirit core becoming stronger bit by bit.

Hearing that Lu Yaoyao had gone into seclusion to break through to Foundation Establishment, and without her coming to disturb him, Zhou Qing's life was quite comfortable and carefree.

"Number Four, today is the last day of the Treasure Exchange Gathering, let's go out and stroll around!"

Early in the morning, Yan Xiaohu ran over excitedly to find Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing didn't even think about it and, of course, refused directly.

Yan Xiaohu seemed to have expected that he would do so, and said with a grin: "Oh, what's there to be afraid of? True or false, anyway, the people of the five sects all know the nature of us brothers, it's no big deal."

"Besides, I've been wandering outside these days, and I haven't seen anyone scolding me to my face for being a hooligan. At most, they just point fingers behind my back and spit at me."

Zhou Qing: "..."

As the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering, which is held only once every twenty years, reached its last day, the number of people not only did not decrease but became even larger.

After all, whether leaving early or late, it didn't make much difference for this last day.

In the bustling crowd, Zhou Qing leisurely led his chicken, following behind his Third Shixiong, looking around.

There were indeed many people pointing fingers at him behind his back, but Zhou Qing took it very well. Anyway, the matter was already out in the open, and besides, the mouth grows on others, could he control it?

"Eh—"

Not long after, the "Silver Dragon Hand" in Zhou Qing's body began to circulate on its own again, and immediately after, the "Silver Dragon Step" also responded.

"Could it be that another good thing has appeared?" Zhou Qing felt a surge of joy in his heart and hurriedly searched everywhere.

"Number Four, slow down!" Yan Xiaohu shouted in confusion.

Soon, Zhou Qing arrived at a stall and instantly locked his gaze on a bronze furnace only the size of a palm.

This bronze furnace looked quite old, with rust spots in many places.

Zhou Qing could basically conclude that it was the source of the reaction, and then immediately performed 【Daily Appraisal】.

【Useless furnace: An ordinary furnace, but its inner wall became extraordinary because it was once stained with the heart blood of an old Suanni. If tempered with pill fire, one could extract a wisp of precious blood.】

Seeing the information obtained from the appraisal, Zhou Qing's pupils shrank suddenly.

The old fierce beast Suanni was an extremely rare spirit beast, and both the "Silver Dragon Hand" and "Silver Dragon Step" had reacted to it, which meant that the dried blood inside was of great benefit to these two divine arts.

"This Shixiong, how much for this item?" Zhou Qing asked, pointing at the bronze furnace.

The stall owner appeared to be a disciple of the Tianji Sect, and seeing someone asking, he hurriedly stood up enthusiastically.

"This Shidi has a good eye. This furnace is a rare alchemy furnace. One look and I can tell you are a noble alchemist. One price, two hundred inferior-grade spirit stones!" The stall owner said, directly holding up two fingers.

Yan Xiaohu, who was on the side, couldn't help but interrupt: "Is this broken furnace even an alchemy furnace? Let alone its small size, where are the three legs? Where is the furnace mirror? Where is the lid?"

Faced with Yan Xiaohu's three consecutive questions, the stall owner couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Since my Shidi sincerely wants it, two pieces!" Yan Xiaohu began to bargain.

The stall owner shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this price is too low, I won't make any profit. Twenty inferior-grade spirit stones."

"Fine, twenty it is!" Zhou Qing replied without hesitation, and after saying that, he prepared to take out the money.

Yan Xiaohu was anxious when he heard this and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Qing: "This broken thing isn't worth this price. You agreed too quickly; you still lack experience. I could have at least pressed the price down to..."

"I'll pay thirty!" Before Yan Xiaohu could finish his sentence, a voice sounded from the side.

The two turned their heads and saw several disciples from the Cangyan Dao Palace walking over with their heads held high.

The leading man had a steady aura and looked to be on par with Yan Xiaohu in strength.

At this moment, the Tianji Sect stall owner's eyes lit up when he heard this offer.

"Not good, it's Yin Xiao. I heard this guy is a pursuer of Cui Yingying. You peeked at his sweetheart taking a bath; looking at this posture, he is clearly here to find trouble with you on purpose."

Seeing this situation, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly transmitted his voice to Zhou Qing.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing's face sank.

"Is this thing important to you? If it's not important, I can act as a shill for the stall owner and fleece him!" Yan Xiaohu asked quietly.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly.

Yan Xiaohu immediately regretted it.

"Are you the peeping pervert Zhou Qing?" Yin Xiao glanced lightly at the old hen being led, then looked Zhou Qing up and down, asking in a cold tone.

The other people from the Cangyan Dao Palace behind him all crossed their arms, their expressions unkind.

Sure enough, he was here to stand up for Cui Yingying.

Coming up with sarcasm, Zhou Qing wouldn't indulge such a person.

Looking at Yin Xiao's unhappy face, Zhou Qing suddenly smiled.

"Why, have you heard about my affairs too? Let me tell you, that night was simply too exciting. In the pool filled with mist, there were girls everywhere, especially a few core disciples, it made my eyes go straight..."

"Presumptuous!" Yin Xiao stepped forward suddenly, and a terrifying aura instantly permeated the air.

Yan Xiaohu immediately blocked in front of Zhou Qing and said: "What, want to fight? Let's go, let's go to the square over there!"

Yin Xiao looked at Zhou Qing, his hands clenching and cracking, wishing he could swallow him alive.

But soon he snorted coldly and glanced at Yan Xiaohu.

"Two pieces of scum, just wait. Thirty spirit stones, wrap it up!"

Yin Xiao looked at the stall owner and said, almost like giving an order.

Yan Xiaohu immediately said: "I'll pay fifty!"

"I'll pay one hundred!" Zhou Qing shouted along, the two brothers looking at Yin Xiao in unison with a provocative look.

Seeing this, the people from the Tianji Sect were almost smiling from ear to ear.

Having done business for so long, they loved such scenes.

"One hundred thirty!" Yin Xiao responded immediately.

Yan Xiaohu said without the slightest hesitation: "One hundred eighty!"

"I'll bid three hundred!" Zhou Qing shouted.

Yin Xiao frowned immediately. It was obvious that he didn't even know what he was buying until now; he just saw these two peeping perverts trading from afar, so he shouted.

He originally wanted to pit them, but didn't expect the other party to turn passive into active so quickly, and instead disgusted them first.

However, he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off; if he just stopped now, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

Fine, you like to play, right? Then let's play properly.

"Five hundred!" Yin Xiao stared at the two and shouted again.

"Eight hundred!"

"One thousand!"

"One thousand three hundred!"

"I'll pay one thousand eight hundred!"

"If you have the guts, add two thousand!"

"Two thousand it is!"

"Deal!"

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu spoke in unison.

Yin Xiao was stunned immediately.

"You're not adding more?"

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other and chuckled: "Not adding, not adding. It's still you people from the Cangyan Dao Palace who have money, willing to spend such a high price to buy a broken furnace. This Senior Brother, you must treat us to a meal later."

Zhou Qing said to the stall owner with a smile.

The Shixiong from the Tianji Sect had already blossomed with joy and nodded repeatedly.

"Alright then, you guys stay busy, we're leaving!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he and Yan Xiaohu turned and left directly.

The Tianji Sect stall owner hurriedly picked up the furnace and handed it over with both hands, his face full of flattery.

"Brother, two thousand inferior-grade spirit stones!"

Yin Xiao looked at the furnace being handed over, which looked like a urinal, and blinked.

Just now, the voices of those two bidding were higher than the other, especially this fellow Yan Xiaohu, whose spit was flying everywhere, and his face was almost stuck on him.

He accidentally got dragged into it; spending two thousand on impulse just to buy this thing?

The other Cangyan Dao Palace disciples behind him also quietly took a step back.

They knew clearly that Yin Xiao Shixiong didn't have that much money on him now; what if he asked to borrow from them?
