Chapter 76 Buying Empty Stone
"This woman is too fickle. She kicked me like a tigress just now, and now she has such a lovely smile." Mu Chen shouted in surprise when he saw Lu Yan's appearance.
"Hurry up, the city gate is in front of you. Shadow Butterfly is not allowed to enter, so it's up to you to carry it." Lv Yan looked at the dull Mu Chen with a smile.
"Cut, it turns out that I have to work hard." After receiving Mengxue, who was still in a coma, although she muttered unwillingness, her heart was happy. After all, Mengxue was a well-deserved beauty. On her back, the fragrance spread to her nose, and her legs were numb, and she staggered and almost fell down.
Not long after walking with Lv Yan, with the moonlight, you can see the three huge words on the gate - Fangtong City.
From the appearance, the scale of the city is not bad. Although it is much smaller than Huacheng, it is much larger than a marginal city such as frontier fortress.
Late at night, there were many pedestrians coming and going at the gate. The guards sat and fell asleep. After arriving in the city, the imagined quiet streets did not appear, and the whole city was as brightly lit as day.
Countless stalls are located in every corner, and crowds are surging.
"Old uncle, why are there so many people in the middle of the night? What are they selling?" Mu Chen asked an old man of about 50 nearby.
Seeing Mu Chen's young face, the old man's attitude was excellent: "Young man, this 'Fang Tongcheng' holds a 'night market' every 50 years, and what is sold here is not ordinary. It's mostly to repair magic weapons or various elixirs used by real people. It's not bad for you to see that you are still young and grow your knowledge."
Hearing the old man's words, Mu Chen also understood roughly. Looking at the strange things in the booth, there seemed to be nothing he knew except some weapons.
Lv Yan, on one side, saw Mu Chen's curious look and curled the corners of her mouth. Naturally, she had seen some big worlds, and most of them had also seen some things on the stall.
The two walked through several streets. Lv Yan had been looking for an inn, while Mu Chen carefully looked at the things on each stall.
"Huh? These stones can also be sold..." Mu Chen pointed to a booth and said that there were dozens of nail-sized stones neatly placed in front of the booth.
I walked to the stall, picked up a stone and looked carefully, but I couldn't see anything special about it.
"Kid, don't move, you can't afford this!" The stall owner looked at Mu Chen, who was at most 20 years old and thought he was a poor country kid with disdain in his tone.
"Tell me what this is for. If it's suitable, maybe I'll buy it." Mu Chen ignored the other party's arrogant attitude and still looked carefully at the stones in his hand.
The boss of the booth saw that no one visited here, and just pushed the boat along the water. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "This thing is called 'empty stone'. Although it looks like this, it can hold hundreds of square meters of things."
"Really, isn't this just a stone?" Mu Chen looked at it for a long time and couldn't find anything special. He raised his head and looked at the boss of the stall and asked.
"What do you stinky boy know? This is not an ordinary stone. You have to choose a good 'lingbi stone'. After countless forgings, you have a certain chance of success." The boss's voice became louder and louder. Obviously, it was not only for Mu Chen, but even the whole street.
However, the stall owner's words also had some effect. Some people came here curiously and began to carefully look at the so-called 'empty stone' on the stall.
"Boss, how to use this thing?" A big man picked up one of them and asked.
"How to use it? If you buy it, I will naturally tell you." The stall owner said with a smile.
"This thing can't be used by ordinary people. It's completely controlled by spiritual power, but it's not so easy to step into the spiritual realm." When Lv Yan heard the man's words, she came over and said slowly, "You seller don't make it plain. People who don't go to the spiritual realm buy it back are no different from ordinary stones. Besides, the quality of your empty stone is not good."
"It's none of your business. Besides, how do you know that the quality of my empty stone is not good?" Originally, it was good, but suddenly a girl came out and inserted a few words. The stall owner was also a little angry. He quickly took out a khaki empty stone and shouted, "Since you know, look at this. Can you afford it?"
He bought this yellow empty stone from a tomb robber. A well-sighted person knows at a glance that it is a good empty stone, and the price is not less.
Mu Chen took the empty stone in the owner's hand and heard Lu Yan say that he would use spiritual control. Mu Chen quietly injected a trace of spiritual power. Sure enough, it seemed that a huge room appeared in front of him, which was very clear.
There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry inside, and the things inside seem to be within reach. As long as you move your mind, you can take out the things inside or put the things outside in, but this space seems to be completely isolated from life, and nothing alive can enter.
When the stall owner saw Mu Chen take away the empty stone, he was furious: "Kid, if this thing is broken, I can't afford to kill you."
The latter ignored the red-faced stall owner, and then picked up an ordinary empty stone and injected spiritual power. This time, the space was much smaller than the one just now, and there was nothing inside.
Put down the ordinary empty stone, look at the yellow one left in your hand, and ask with a smile, "Master, how much is this stone?"
"Kid, bring it here quickly. You can't afford it." The stall owner shouted and stretched out his hand to grab it back.
Mu Chen's body flashed, and the yellow empty stone was still held in his hand: "How do you know I can't afford it?"
"I don't want much, 5,000 gold, no bargaining." The stall owner was too lazy to talk to Mu Chen and said the price casually. Seeing that Mu Chen was so young, he probably didn't have much money, but he didn't ask for much.
"Let's see if this is enough." Mu Chen threw out a jade pendant.
After the stall owner took it, he couldn't help but be shocked: "This... This is... Tai Suiyu. He looked at Mu Chen with surprise: "Do you really want to exchange this jade pendant for it?"
"Is it not enough?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
"That's enough, of course, that's enough. Since you can afford it, this good thing naturally belongs to you. I had a little bad attitude just now. Please forgive me." The attitude of the stall owner made a 180-degree turn, with an obscene smile on the corners of his mouth.
Taisui jade is originally carved from excellent jade, and it is also famous, which can be said to be of great value.
Seeing this and was about to speak, Mu Chen quickly used a color and said to the stall owner Youyou, "I could have given you more gold, but with so much gold, it's too troublesome to invoice. I'll just take this stone back to play."
The latter now regards Mu Chen as the pompous son of a famous family. He nodded and bent down. Seeing that Mu Chen was about to leave, he asked shamelessly, "Other empty stones here are also good and can give you a discount."
"No, another one is enough to play." Mu Chen waved his hand and said without looking back.
After walking for a while, Lv Yan finally couldn't help saying, "I know you are in the spiritual realm, but this thing is not worth the price at all. It's really stupid."
"This empty stone is really good." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Do you know how much your jade is worth just now?" Lv Yan pouted and pointed to Mu Chen and asked.
The latter looked indifferent: "How can I know how much that thing is worth? The jade pendant is not mine."
"Not yours? Is it possible that it is stolen..." Lv Yan looked at Mu Chen with contemptuous eyes. As a person of Tiannuzong, she has never been used to such things as stealing.
"Where did you go? I took the jade pendant from this empty stone. I don't know where the stall owner got it. I don't even know what's in it." Mu Chen picked up the empty stone and appreciated it proudly.
"The spiritual realm is good." Lv Yan looked at Mu Chen's obscene smile, widened her eyes, and couldn't help muttering.
