At this moment, Chen Ning could feel everyone's gazes and the cold sneer on the green-robed man's face. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. Although he had worked in marketing for a few years in his previous life and was very eloquent, he had never encountered such a situation that could easily take his life. He looked at the green-robed man who had a sneer on his face and then glanced at the two cold middle-aged Xuan Masters from the corner of his eyes. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
However, since things had already come to this, there was no turning back. He raised his head and puffed out his chest,"I did. Brother Black Panther has done me a favor, so how could I watch you do such a vicious thing? A real man has to do something and not do it. You guys are so aggressive that I've never heard of you.”
"Overbearing?" Guan Jie's face was full of disdain." I ordered the servant to negotiate with you guys. You can't blame me for not knowing what's good for you.”After saying that, Guan Jie shot a glance at a mystic cultivator and was about to kill him when the young man standing at the door with Guan Jie said with a smile,""Guan Jie, why are you so calculative with these mercenaries? Today, we are here to discuss the City Lord's daughter's poetry competition at the end of the month. Why disturb our mood?”The person who spoke was dressed in white. His face was like a crown, and he was extraordinarily handsome. He was standing downstairs and smiling.
"Humph! If it wasn't for Brother Ouyang pleading for mercy, I definitely wouldn't have let you off today.”Guan Jie waved his hand and left with another man. The two mystic cultivators followed closely behind.
Chen Ning was scared out of his wits. He thought," Damn it, I almost died. I still haven't learned the immortal technique. No, I can't be so reckless next time. Now, he thirsts for strength even more. In this Xuantian Continent where the strong are respected, only strength is everything." "Is Brother Black Panther alright?"”
Black Panther's face was pale, and it was obvious that he was badly injured. He coughed and said,"It's nothing serious, I just suffered some internal injuries. It's all thanks to Brother Chen this time, let's go back to the inn first.”Just as Chen Ning and the others were leaving, no one noticed the man in white at the door giving Chen Ning a deep look before he left."A real man has to do something and not do something. Hehe, interesting!”With that, he left.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Black Panther had been recuperating at the inn. Chen Ning had visited him a few times during this time. After that, he had followed Minister Wang to bring the goods that had been transported over to the Heaven's Wall City's Chamber of Commerce in a carriage. When the last batch of medicinal herbs had been sold in the morning, Minister Wang had given everyone sixty coins of wages and told them to leave on their own. Three days later, they would gather here and return to Flipping Immortals Town.
Since Chen Ning had nothing to do, he planned to walk around the Heaven's Wall City. Firstly, the Heaven's Wall City was indeed bustling with traffic, and it was not something that the Fetched Immortals Town could compare to. Secondly, he planned to buy some things for Li Dacheng. Chen Ning spent the entire morning wandering around the Heaven's Wall City like a headless fly, looking around. A few hours later, he had a few bags in his hands, which contained the things he had bought for Li Dacheng. As for what he wanted to buy, Chen Ning had not decided yet, so he continued to wander around.
"Uncle, how much is this jade pendant?”Chen Ning took out a gray jade pendant from the stall and asked. There weren't many things in the stall, just a few books, a jade pendant, and a few weapons. Chen Ning stopped at this stall because it was different from the other stalls. The other stall owners were all shouting," The best Leopard Cores are being sold at a low price, and the best tiger skins are being sold at a big discount. You won't lose out or be cheated!"”Wait, it was unusually lively. The stall owner in front of Chen Ning was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He had a head of white hair and his clothes were tattered. He was holding a wine gourd in his hand and taking a sip from time to time. His face was rosy and shiny, perhaps because he had drunk wine. His image was similar to Zhou Botong in the TV series that Chen Ning had seen in her previous life. Chen Ning found it interesting.
The white-haired old man glanced at Chen Ning with his half-drunk eyes and said,"70 coins." After saying that, he picked up the wine gourd and began to drink leisurely. He completely ignored Chen Ning, just like the Buddhist seller he had seen in his previous life.
After hearing the old man's offer, Chen Ning frowned slightly. He had spent 20 yuan on Li Dacheng's clothes and other things, Minister Wang had given him 60 yuan, and Li Dacheng had given him 30 yuan before he left. Now, he had 70 yuan on him. "Does this old man know how much money I have on me? Otherwise, why would he say that seventy money was a coincidence?”Chen Ning was puzzled. He stole a glance at the white-haired old man again and found that the old man was still drinking leisurely without looking at Chen Ning at all. This made Chen Ning, who wanted to bargain, feel quite depressed.
Looking at the gray jade pendant in his hand, Chen Ning could not help but shake his head and give up. It did not look like a good item. He only had so much money on him. He could not spend all his family property on this thing. To Chen Ning, a man without money would not feel safe. It was not worth it.
He placed the jade pendant back on the stall and was about to turn around to leave when the white-haired old man suddenly said,"This jade pendant of mine is a good thing. I took 70 yuan from you completely because we are fated.”When Chen Ning heard the old man's words, he stopped in his tracks. He thought to himself," Oh my god, I thought you were really an expert. It turns out you're also an old fox. You're pretending to be deep in front of me."
Chen Ning knew that he couldn't rush to reply. This was called psychological warfare. He couldn't let the other party see that he really wanted to buy it so that he could bargain. He squatted down and picked up the jade pendant again. After looking at it for a while, he said casually,"Uncle, the color of your jade pendant is ordinary, and it's dark gray. There's nothing to look at. I can at most offer 30 big coins!”After saying that, he even made a bleeding expression. I won't be able to take any more.
Hearing that Chen Ning had directly haggled over half the price, the half-drunk old man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted,""You brat, you don't know what's good for you. A jade pendant that costs seventy coins actually went back to thirty. I think you're here to cause trouble.”Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you up.
Chen Ning's heart sank when he saw the old man's drastic change. He thought that he had killed too many people, but he was not particularly fond of the jade pendant. Seeing the old man's angry look, he was afraid that he would beat him up. This world was not Earth, but the world of immortal cultivators. Who knew if this old man was a cultivator? If he could not afford to offend him, he could hide. It did not matter, at least that was what Chen Ning thought. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the old man's tone change."Forget it, kid. I can see that your bones are amazing, and I can see that we're fated to meet. I can't sell this jade pendant for thirty coins. Why don't you take a look at these books of mine and pick one?”
Huh? Chen Ning was now certain that the old man was a swindler. Most swindlers were not very capable, so who would go and swindle people if they were capable? Especially when he was flipping through the books, the names were quite domineering, such as the Nine Transformations of Gods and Demons, the Art of Origin, and the Art of Five-colored Divine Light. However, when he flipped to the first page, there were a few words that said," If you want to practice this technique, you must cripple it." If it was any other cultivator, it would be strange if they didn't beat him to death. The Celestial Chi that he had painstakingly cultivated would be crippled? However, Chen Ning did not have Celestial Chi, so it was fine if he did not cultivate. However, when he saw the words " castration first " in other books, he could not help but turn around and curse,""You old man, you look like an immortal, but your stomach is full of bad things. I'll teach you a lesson today.”After saying that, he took out his sandbag-sized fist. However, he thought about it and decided to be on the safe side. What if he couldn't win? He paused and continued,"However, since you are old, I am afraid that I will beat you to death. In order to prevent you from continuing to harm others, this jade pendant will be the price you have to pay.”After saying that, without waiting for the old man to react, he ran away. As he ran, he turned around and saw that the old man did not chase after him. Not long after, he disappeared.
However, Chen Ning did not know that after he ran away and disappeared, the old man's half-drunk appearance instantly sobered up. His eyes, which were originally intoxicated, became even more profound, like an abyss, making people shudder. Then, he chuckled and muttered to himself,"What an interesting kid. He clearly has no cultivation, but even I can't see where he came from. Could he be an anomaly? The jade pendant is actually willing to go with him. Hehe, but he was so rude to me today. I will make him suffer in the future.”After saying that, he yawned and his figure fluctuated. The stall and the person instantly disappeared from this noisy street as if they had never appeared. No one around him noticed the disappearance of the old man.
After running for about ten minutes, Chen Ning saw that the old man did not catch up. He stopped to rest for a while." This old man is really selling fake products. If it was something valuable, he would have chased after us."”Chen Ning gasped as he cursed. He picked up the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it. No matter what, this was his first accessory in this place.
It was an ordinary piece of jade with a dull gray surface and some simple patterns. There was nothing special about it. In Chen Ning's words, a good piece of jade was either crystal clear or colorful. But no matter what, it was his harvest after running for more than ten minutes. He completely forgot that he had stolen it and wore it around his neck with a clear conscience.
"Coo, coo!"
After putting on the jade pendant, Chen Ning's stomach growled. It was protesting that it had not been fed. Chen Ning bought some food and remembered that he had not seen the black panther for two days. He wondered if the black panther's injuries had recovered. He walked and ate leisurely in the direction of the inn where the black panther was staying.
"Dong dong, dong dong, is big brother Black Panther here? I'm here to see you." Chen Ning went to the inn where Heibao was staying and knocked on the door.
"Brother Chen, the door is unlocked. Come in.”
Chen Ning went in and saw Heibao sitting on the bed with his eyes closed. He went to the bedside and asked with concern,"Brother Black Panther, how are your injuries?"
After a quarter of an hour, Black Panther slowly opened his eyes and exhaled." It's fine, brother. I was regulating my breathing just now, so I couldn't speak. My injuries are almost healed. Those two mystic cultivators are really powerful. I've suffered a huge setback this time and made a fool of myself."”After saying that, he coughed lightly. It was unknown whether it was because of his injury or something else, but his face was a little pale.
Chen Ning shook his head and said,"Elder brother, you don't need to care about success or failure. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. As long as we get braver and braver, this matter is nothing to elder brother.”
Black Panther's pale face lit up when he heard Chen Ning's words. He laughed and said,""Haha, what a good saying. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.”
Chen Ning saw that Heibao had become more cheerful after being comforted, so he asked Heibao,""Brother, I wonder how much you know about the Profound Sky Land. I don't remember many things in the past, so I'll have to trouble you to explain more to me.”Although Chen Ning had been in this world for some time, he knew very little about it. Therefore, he was eager to know what this world looked like.
"I see. Since you have something to ask of me, then I'll share with you what I've heard in Jianghu all these years.”Black Panther naturally agreed to Chen Ning's small request and slowly explained to Chen Ning.
"The place we live in is called the Profound Sky Continent. The Profound Sky Continent is divided into two continents and two large regions. It is divided into the Eastern Victory Divine Province, the Western Ox Hezhou Province, the Southern Region, and the Northern Region. The Profound Sky Continent is vast and boundless. No one knows how big the Profound Sky Continent is. We are in the Eastern Victory Divine Province. In the secular world of the Eastern Victory Divine Province, there are kingdoms, empires, and sacred dynasties. For example, the Immortals Town you are in and the Heaven's Wall City we are in now are all under the influence of the Jason Kingdom." And our Jason Kingdom is affiliated with the Daming Empire of the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture. As for the Sacred Dynasty above the Empire, my elder brother's strength is limited. I'm not sure if it's not something I can come into contact with.
Black Panther was a little thirsty from talking. He drank a cup of tea and continued," I told you about the powers in the secular world just now. Now, I'll tell you about the four great immortal mountains. They are the Five Dragon Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Qianyuan Mountain, and Skeleton Mountain. The four great immortal mountains are actually the same as the powers in our secular world. The reason why they are called immortal mountains is that their inheritances are said to have been passed down from ancient times. Their strength is unfathomable, so they are more mysterious. Just like the Sacred Dynasty in our secular world, they all stand at the top of this continent and will not appear easily. This is our human race. Next, I'll tell you about the beast race.”
"Beasts? What race is this?" Chen Ning, who was listening with great interest, asked in confusion.
