Monster Cores were also known as Monster Crystals on the Dou Qi continent, as well as the embryonic form of a Spirit Pill. As the name suggested, this was a type of energy crystal core within the body of a Magical Beast. It was filled with extremely wild and violent natural energy. Even a Dou Wang would not dare to take the risk of exploding his body by forcefully inhaling this kind of wild and violent energy.
However, although the Demon Core could not be directly absorbed by humans, it was an indispensable main material for alchemists to refine medicine. After being refined by alchemists using secret methods, the Demon Core would be neutralized by some magical medicinal herbs, turning into various spirit medicines that countless people coveted to increase their strength. Their value immediately soared!
Moreover, magic nuclei could also be added to weapons. Weapons that were added with magic nuclei would not only have greater destructive power, but also have the attractive effect of increasing Dou Qi. They were highly sought after by Dou Zhe in the Dou Qi continent.
Of course, other than weapons, magic nuclei could also be added to armor and other items, giving the owner a strong defense. When facing danger, it would give the owner a greater guarantee of life.
With so many special effects, Monster Cores naturally became the most popular mainstream material on the Dou Qi continent. Not only Dou Zhe, but even those noble alchemists would often bend over to search for high grade Monster Cores in order to refine higher grade medicinal pills.
Driven by this trend, the supply of Monster Cores on the continent was always in short supply. As long as a high-grade Monster Core appeared in an auction or other places, it would immediately be bought at a high price.
The exorbitant price of magic nuclei naturally created a large number of mercenary groups that specialized in hunting magic beasts for a living. However, obtaining magic nuclei was not an easy task.
Firstly, not only were Magical Beasts powerful, they were also extremely cunning. Due to their vicious nature and special attack methods, Magical Beasts were often stronger than human experts of the same level. Therefore, if one wanted to kill a Magical Beast of the same level alone, without extraordinary strength, it was easy to steal a chicken and end up with a rice.
Secondly, not all Magical Beasts had energy crystals like Magic Cores in their bodies. This seemed to be a random probability. Sometimes, when a mercenary group killed a Magical Beast at the cost of half of their members, they might end up empty-handed. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Dou Qi continent and was not considered rare…
Hence, the value of Monster Cores on the Dou Qi continent had always been at the top, and they were extremely sought after.
……
Xiao Yan brought Xun Er along the spacious street and made a couple of turns before finally entering a middle sized market that was located to the south of the city. There were quite a few middle sized markets in Wu Tan City. They were controlled by the three great clans in the city. The market that Xiao Yan had come to was controlled by their Xiao clan…
To say that it was control, it would be better to say that it was to maintain the order and safety of the market. As a reward, the mercenaries or merchants who set up stalls in the market had to pay a commission to the clan. This had always been the rule of the Dou Qi continent, and it was rare to see anyone come and cause trouble.
There were two guards from the Xiao clan at the entrance of the market after they entered. They clearly recognized Xiao Yan's group. They were startled when they saw their arrival. They immediately bowed slightly.
Nodding his head slightly, Xiao Yan walked in and stood by the side of the main door. He watched the endless stream of people flowing inside and could not help but smack his lips. No wonder the clan was quite strict with the management of the market. With this kind of popularity, it was likely that the profits would not be small…
"Third Young Master, Miss Xun Er, are you here to buy something?”Just as the two of them were dazzled by the flow of people, a respectful voice sounded from behind.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan turned his head around. Seven to eight large men wearing the uniform of the Xiao clan were standing behind him. The person who spoke was a thirty year old man in his prime. There was a badge on the man's chest. On the badge were six golden stars. Clearly, he was a six star Dou Zhe.
Seeing Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze, the man smiled honestly and respectfully said,"Third young master, my name is Pei En. I am the captain of the guards personally appointed by the clan leader. I am responsible for the safety of the market. Hehe, Pei En even came to meet you on your birthday last year…"
"Oh, so it's Uncle Pei En.”
Xiao Yan blinked his eyes. Although he did not have much of an impression of this large man, his introduction earlier caused a smile to rise on Xiao Yan's small face. Since he was personally appointed by his father, he was naturally his direct subordinate. There should not be any problem with his loyalty.
Although the Xiao Clan was not a major faction, the clan was also divided into several factions. If the burly man in front of him was someone from the faction of the other elders, he would not be bothered and would just casually brush him off.
"I was bored in the clan, so I came out to take a walk. Uncle Pei En, you can go do your own things. If there's anything, I'll call you.”Xiao Yan's tender voice did not have the arrogance of the young master. Instead, it was polite and gentle, causing one's mood to be at ease.
The respectful address of uncle made the smile on Pei En's face deepen. At the same time, it also became more fervent. He scratched his head and nodded with a smile."Then Third Young Master can go ahead and walk around. There are our people everywhere in the market. If there's anything, just shout.”
Xiao Yan politely nodded his head and pulled Xun Er into the crowd before disappearing…
"Pari, bring two people with you to follow Third Young Master and warn those golden fingers in the market. If anyone dares to have any ideas on Third Young Master and Miss Xun Er, they will not be able to stay here in the future.”Pei En turned around and softly cried out as he watched the young man and young woman disappear. The honest and honest expression on his face instantly turned into a capable one.
"Yes, captain!" A burly man nodded in a deep voice. With a wave of his hand, he brought two other men into the crowd.
" Hehe, Third Young Master is still so gentle to others, it really makes me feel comfortable…" Looking at the three people who had merged into the crowd, Pei En smiled and sighed regretfully."Such a good young man. What a pity, sigh…"
Shaking his head regretfully, Pei En also led his subordinates to patrol the streets…
……
Lazily following behind Xiao Yan, who was casually strolling, Xun Er glanced at the human flow behind her without leaving a trace. She faintly smiled and said,"Xiao Yan ge-ge, that Pei En is not bad.”
Xiao Yan let out a soft 'm'. His gaze swept over a stall beside him. His Spiritual Perception was much stronger than an ordinary person's. Therefore, he was also clearly aware of the guards who followed behind him. Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan slowed down and walked side by side with the young lady beside him. He sniffed the green lotus-like elegant young lady's body fragrance, tilted his head and teased,"A 9 Duan Qi, yet you are able to sense three guards who are proficient in concealment. Xun Er is not ordinary…"
Xun Er imitated Xiao Yan's manner and cutely shrugged her shoulders. She once again took out her trump card, Smile, silence!
Staring at the young lady's silent manner, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a warm smile. His hand gently patted the young lady's small head. Using a voice that only the two of them could hear, he laughed softly,"Although I am not clear about your identity and background, I only know that you are my younger sister. No matter what happens in the future, remember to stand behind ge.”Xiao Yan gently smiled. His hand once again lightly patted and his footsteps quickened as he walked forward.
Xun Er's footsteps paused. She fanned her beautiful, large, intelligent eyes and stared at the young man who had walked forward in a carefree manner after speaking. She was stunned for a long while before Xun Er finally recovered. The gentle smile on the corner of her mouth gradually widened. Finally, it made her exquisite little face appear extremely alluring.
In the crowded market, the young girl stood still and smiled lightly. Her elegant figure was like a green lotus in the secular world, elegant and indifferent…
"Sister? "Xun Er is a very greedy girl…" Tilting her small head, Xun Er softly muttered. Immediately, she pursed her lips and smiled. Her lotus steps moved slightly as she followed the leisurely young man in front of her.
……
Following Xiao Yan, they slowly entered the deeper regions of the market. The items sold in the deeper regions of the market were usually much more precious than those sold outside. Hence, the customers who could come here to buy could be considered to have some strength in Wu Tan City.
Taking advantage of the time when Xiao Yan was burying his head in searching for magic crystals, Xun Er also came to a clean stall in boredom. She stopped her body and stretched out her fair and delicate wrist to pick up a light green bracelet. The material of the bracelet was an ordinary item. It was only added with some ice silver, causing it to feel cold when touched. It was very suitable for wearing in summer. Although the material was ordinary, it was also unique and elegant…
After casually playing with the bracelet for a while, Xun Er was just about to buy it when she remembered that she had already lent all her money to Xiao Yan. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the young man who was busy with his own things. She could only helplessly shake her head and smile apologetically at the old man behind the stall. She put down the bracelet and once again lazily walked forward…With her elegant personality, it was very difficult for her to take the initiative to ask someone to buy something for her, even if it was Xiao Yan…
After walking for a short distance, the somewhat bored Xun Er was just about to return to accompany Xiao Yan when a clear laughter was suddenly transmitted from the front.
"Yi, isn't this Miss Xun Er? Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here. What fate.”
Xun Er frowned slightly. She looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a group of people swarming over. In the crowd, there was a luxuriously dressed young man who was clustered around like stars surrounding the moon.
The young man was around twenty years old. He was quite handsome, but his face was somewhat pale. His eyes were currently burning as he stared firmly at the slim and elegant young girl not far away. His eyes were mixed with unconcealed love.
