Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 431 The baby is obtained

The old man paused, then continued, "I won't ask for too much. Just one thousand spirit stones and you can take this broken blade."

Wu Ming chuckled inwardly when he heard this. This stall owner was asking for an exorbitant price! He feigned surprise and said, "One thousand spirit stones? Fellow Daoist, that's too expensive! I don't have that many spirit stones, I really can't afford it. It seems I won't be able to get this treasure."

After saying that, Wu Ming pretended to be disappointed and turned around to leave.

He muttered to himself that this stall owner was too greedy. He would take advantage of anyone he caught. How could he survive until now if he did business like this?

Seeing that the fat sheep that was finally delivered to his door was about to slip away, the old man couldn't help but feel anxious.

He quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, this is a great item! As for the price, we can negotiate. How many spirit stones do you think would be a suitable price?"

Hearing the stall owner's request to stay, Wu Ming paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm really short of money. If it's 500 spirit stones, I can barely accept it."

"Five hundred spirit stones?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes widened, as if he had heard some fairy tale.

"That's too low! Fellow Daoist, you have to think carefully. This is a magic weapon! How can it be 500 spirit stones? I'll take a step back and ask for 800 spirit stones. What do you think?"

As the old man spoke, he pretended to be in great pain, as if these eight hundred spirit stones were the limit of what he could bear.

However, Wu Ming was not impressed by his performance. He still shook his head and said:

"Eight hundred spirit stones is still too much. I always feel that it's not worth it. Let me think about it again. I think I'll just give it a try!"

After saying that, Wu Ming made a gesture to turn around and leave.

Seeing Wu Ming's reaction, the old man suddenly understood: it turned out that the young cultivator in front of him really had eight hundred spirit stones, but he felt that the price was not worth it, so he was so hesitant.

In that case, I can definitely seduce him again and drain all the spirit stones from him!

He smiled and continued in a tempting tone, "I see that you really want it, but it's impossible to lower the price.

How about this, I ask you to choose another small item and give it to you as a gift?"

Hearing the old man's words, Wu Ming's eyes lit up and he secretly rejoiced: "This is really great!"

He was originally interested in the other items on the stall, but he didn't dare to speak up directly for fear that the stall owner would notice something unusual.

Now the old man offered to give one as a gift, isn’t this exactly what I want?

Wu Ming replied without hesitation, "Pick another one? Really? Then I'll be gracious."

As he spoke, he began to pick and choose at the stall with great interest.

Wu Ming's eyes wandered over the various objects and finally landed on the fist-sized, dark stone.

This stone looks ordinary, just like the stones scattered on the roadside, but it is the target of Wu Ming's trip.

He pretended to pick up the stone and examined it carefully. The surface of the stone was smooth, without any obvious texture, but it gave people a heavy feeling.

Wu Ming didn't look at it any further and said:

"Fellow Daoist, I can't let you make a loss! How about this, let's take this stone!

Look at it, although it looks ordinary and doesn't seem like a special treasure, its shape is quite unique, and I quite like it."

Wu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a seemingly nonchalant smile, and spoke softly.

The old man was originally worried that Wu Ming would choose a real treasure. After all, he had displayed so many things, and there were still a few authentic ones among them.

However, when he saw that Wu Ming had finally chosen only this inconspicuous stone, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart.

This stone was actually picked up by the old man when he was digging a tomb. He did not find any usable features on the stone. The only bright spot was that it carried an ancient aura. He put it here purely to make up the number.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ming actually had a special liking for this stone, which really made the old man overjoyed!

"Well, since you like this stone so much, I won't say anything more.

After all, it’s because I see that you and I are quite compatible that I’m willing to do this loss-making business!”

The old man suppressed his inner joy, pretended to be in pain, and said with a sigh.

However, he was already overjoyed in his heart, as if he had picked up a huge bargain.

As for Wu Ming, seeing that his beloved treasure finally fell into his hands, he felt an irrepressible joy in his heart.

After the two completed the transaction, Wu Ming did not leave immediately.

Instead, he continued to wander around other stalls, scanning every item with his keen eyes, hoping to find some missed treasures.

At the same time, after Wu Ming left, the old man quickly packed up his stall and hurried away.

He didn't want to stay here any longer, for fear that Wu Ming would come back to cause trouble for him after discovering that he had spent eight hundred spirit stones to buy a piece of junk.

Although he is not afraid of Wu Ming given his strength, it is better to have less trouble than more, and it is naturally best to avoid trouble.

Wu Ming explored several stalls on both sides of the street, but he was not as lucky as before to find any precious treasures.

This made him gradually realize that real treasures are not available everywhere, and it is even less likely that they will easily appear on these street stalls.

If you want to find a leak, you need not only keen insight but also a certain amount of luck.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming decided not to wander around any further. He found an inn and decided to stay there first to study the dark stone he had just bought and find out what kind of treasure it was.

After entering the inn room, Wu Ming first set up a simple ban in the room to prevent anyone from spying.

Then he carefully picked up the dark stone and began to examine it carefully.

He continuously injected his spiritual power into the stone, trying to sense whether there was any special aura or energy fluctuation hidden in it.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the stone remained unresponsive, as if it were just an ordinary stone.

He used his spiritual sense to investigate again, but found that he could not see through the stone at all, which aroused his interest.

"Wu Ming, open it quickly and take a look. I can feel that there is something good hidden inside."

Shadow Mouse called out excitedly, his voice revealing an uncontrollable excitement.

Hearing Shadow Mouse's urging, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little curious.
