Chapter 25: Who on Earth

"How did you handle things? The Princess came and didn't tell me?"

The old clam spirit was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

The clam beauty looked aggrieved.

"This servant didn't know at first, it was them who suddenly revealed their identity!"

"Alright, little ancestor, don't talk nonsense, take me to see the Princess quickly!"

The old clam spirit followed the clam beauty in a hurry to see the Dragon Lady, trembling. As soon as he entered the private room, he knelt down.

"This old man didn't know the Sangongzhu had arrived and failed to welcome you, I hope the Princess will forgive me!"

The old clam spirit was sweating on his forehead and very nervous. The Dongting Dragon Monarch was a true Dongting righteous god, in charge of a water mansion, naturally not someone these mountain spirits and wild monsters could neglect.

By rights, these water mansion righteous gods would not come to their low-level spirit markets, but unexpectedly, an accident happened this time, and two came at once—one was an unfathomable human cultivator, and the other was the Sangongzhu of the Dongting Dragon Monarch. Although the Princess was only a family member and not a Heavenly Court righteous god, she was after all a relative of a righteous god, and usually would not come, but today she happened to come. It can only be said to be a coincidence!

In the VIP private room of the Sanli Auction House, a palace-dressed beauty was sitting upright. However, she wore a treasure crown, and bead curtains hung over her face, so her appearance was not very clear, but from the outline of her delicate face, one could judge that this woman was absolutely stunning!

She was dressed in phoenix robes and brocade clothes, showing grace and luxury, giving people around her a sense of motherly dignity. Her voice was gentle and soft, and her jade hands were slightly raised.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, old man, please get up!"

Hearing this, the old clam spirit breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed.

"This old man thanks the Princess!"

He stood up slowly, breathed a sigh of relief, and then cupped his hands and asked.

"I don't know what the Princess has summoned this old man for. If you have anything, just order it!"

The Dragon Lady smiled slightly, a smile that could topple cities. He saw her raise her hand, and immediately the maid holding the small box walked over, lifted the box lid, and revealed the spirit fruit bid for.

"It's nothing particularly important, this little girl is just very curious, where did you get this Purple Spirit Fruit, and who does it belong to?"

The old clam spirit was stunned, seeming a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, so the Princess is asking about this.

It's just that my Sanli Auction House has always had principles and cannot easily reveal the seller's information...."

The maid beside the Sangongzhu could not help but raise her willow eyebrows, about to flare up, but was stopped by the Dragon Lady.

"No matter, since it's inconvenient, this little girl won't force it!"

The old clam spirit hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly.

"Princess is kind.... sigh, fine, the seller of that Purple Spirit Fruit is a human cultivator, wearing white clothes and looking handsome. This old man can only provide this much!"

"Human cultivator? White clothes?" The Dragon Lady's beautiful eyes lit up, rippling like autumn water in a cold lake, seeming to be lost in thought.

"This little girl knows, thank you, old man!"

The old clam spirit was a bit terrified, not expecting the Sangongzhu of the Dongting Dragon Monarch to be so humble.

"Princess is polite!"

The Sangongzhu slowly stood up.

"Ziyan, let's go!"

"Respectfully send off the Princess!"

The old clam spirit respectfully watched the two women slowly disappear into the distance.

Su Yuanshan took the little white fox and wandered on the streets of the Small Luosha Sea Market. The streets were very lively, with peddlers carrying goods and shouting, small vendors setting up stalls along the street, barbers, bowl-mending craftsmen, shops selling clothes, workshops making weapons and farm tools, restaurants along the street, teahouses, and farmers selling livestock. However, they were not humans, and the livestock sold were not cattle or sheep, but some spirit objects and demon beasts.

Even the children playing on the street had strange appearances, some with one eye, some with three heads, some with legs like bird claws, some with heads like hawks. They wore human children's clothes, held monster windmills, and played happily.

The mountain was at the feet, and the market was in the mist.

The melodious nursery rhyme came with the innocent laughter of children.

【Cage seam, cage seam,

The bird in the cage is dreaming,

Wanting to run out at any time,

Right in the night before dawn.

The turtle slipped, the white crane slipped,

Guess who is facing you behind your back?

Fox or mountain spirit?】

Su Yuanshan walked on the street of the market with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, a small stall caught his attention. The one buying things was a fat old man with big ears, but judging from the tail and back thorns that had not yet completely transformed, it should be a hedgehog spirit.

The old hedgehog crossed his legs and smoked a dry tobacco pipe, leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to rest. Perhaps because there were not many goods, his stall was not patronized.

However, Su Yuanshan walked over because his intuition told him that the broken sword on the old hedgehog's stall did not seem to be an ordinary object.

However, he did not directly reach out to take the broken sword, but instead picked up the complete long sword beside it. It was said to be complete, but the sword body was full of gaps. After all, this was just a small market, naturally not comparable to those bustling big markets.

"How much is this sword?" Su Yuanshan asked softly while testing the sword edge with his finger.

Seeing a customer come to the door, the old hedgehog seemed to have spirit, slowly put away the dry tobacco pipe, and said.

"This is a mid-grade magic artifact, the Green Wood Sword, and it is very complete. This is very difficult!"

Su Yuanshan looked at the old hedgehog's stall full of broken knives and swords and was speechless. He looked at the dense gaps on the sword and thought to himself, in a sense, he was right!

"How much?" Su Yuanshan had no interest in talking nonsense with him and asked directly about the price.

He saw the old hedgehog stretch out his claws.

Su Yuanshan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Five spirit stones?"

The old hedgehog shook his head.

"Wrong, it's five hundred spirit stones!"

Five hundred spirit stones? Su Yuanshan was sure this guy was poor and crazy!

He decisively let go and put the Green Wood Sword together with its difficult brothers.

Seeing that Su Yuanshan didn't want it anymore, the old hedgehog seemed a bit angry.

"You.... how much are you willing to pay?"

Su Yuanshan said lightly.

"Five spirit stones! Not a point more, not a point less!"

Hearing this, the old hedgehog almost choked to death, endured a mouthful of reverse blood, and waved his little claws.

"Please go ahead!"

Su Yuanshan smiled lightly, then picked up the broken sword and said.

"How much is this broken sword?"

The old hedgehog waved his hand impatiently.

"If you like this thing, I'll give it to you for ten spirit stones!"

However, Su Yuanshan shook his head.

"I think two spirit stones for this scrap iron is too much. How about this, sell it to me for one spirit stone? My house is just missing a pestle for pounding medicine. Maybe this tied with a cloth strip will be a good medicine pestle!"

Hearing this, the old hedgehog sighed, looking like he had been defeated by him.

"Fine, fine, one for one, take it away, it can be considered my opening business!"

Su Yuanshan took out a spirit stone and handed it to the old hedgehog, then picked up the broken sword and left.

He could even hear the whispering behind him.

"Does this guy have nowhere to spend his money? Actually bought a piece of scrap iron back, I wouldn't want that thing even if it was given for free, and spent a spirit stone?"

"That is, he was cheated by Lao Bai! That thing was picked up by Lao Bai in a mountain cave...."

However, Su Yuanshan just smiled when he heard it. He could sense that this broken sword was a treasure artifact, not a magic artifact, one grade higher than a magic artifact, at least a mid-grade treasure artifact. Not to mention one spirit stone, even ten or a hundred could not buy it. This was just a remnant, if it were a complete body, it would at least cost thousands of spirit stones. This was recorded in great detail in the "Records of Heavenly Treasures and Strange Objects"! ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
