Chapter 36
In just the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Su Ming crossed a thousand lis and returned to the library.
At that moment, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Su Ming brought out the chessboard and mumbled softly,"This Star Gauze Chessboard is even more peculiar than the ring in Nangong Ningshuang's hand."
"However, so far, only one type of Dao technique has been replicated.”
Su Ming had also thought of carving his best martial arts techniques on the chessboard as chess pieces, but after some thought, he realized that while those martial arts techniques were powerful, they were still not enough when compared to the power that Nangong Ningshuang's ring could unleash.
With his style of choosing quality over quantity, Su Ming gave up on the idea of carving his own martial arts onto the chessboard.
Once Su Ming placed the chessboard on the table, he brought out a Celestial Phenomenon Pill from the system's warehouse and consumed it, then refined the medicinal power once again.
He could vaguely sense that he was about to break through the barrier and step into the sixth grade Martial Saint Realm.
In the morning, Su Ming got up from his meditation. A hint of aura seeped out from his fingertips, and it formed a strong gust of wind that swept through the records warehouse, sweeping away all the ashes on the sixth floor.
He picked up a book and flipped to the page where he had stopped earlier.
When the sun rose, a beautiful purple figure appeared in the document warehouse on time.
"Su Ming, I'm here."
At this moment, Zhao Ziyi's pretty face still carried a trace of doubt. Last night, she originally wanted to find an opportunity to come out, but for some reason, her entire person suddenly felt drowsy and fell asleep on the bed, sleeping until dawn.
When Su Ming did not speak, Zhao Ziyi also picked up a book and started reading.
However, she did not have Su Ming's patience. She only looked at him for a while before she held his hand and said coquettishly,"Su Ming, shall we go shopping?"
"Alright."
Su Ming thought about it and nodded.
He closed the book and the two of them walked out.
"Su Ming, did you know that someone won the five thousand gold taels from that fellow who set up the arena the day before yesterday?”
Thinking of the black-robed figure from the day before yesterday, Zhao Ziyi said in surprise,""I just don't know who has the ability to defeat her.”
is my
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up, but he did not speak.
It was the bustling time of the morning market. The streets were filled with people and the peddlers were peddling their wares.
Suddenly, a crowd gathered in the distance, as if something had attracted everyone's attention.
"Su Ming, let's go up and take a look.”
Zhao Ziyi liked this kind of lively scene, so she pulled Su Ming and squeezed into the crowd.
A man dressed as a hunter was squatting by the side of the street. In front of him was a cage with a fox covered in white fur.
What was surprising was that it had two tails, which were like cattail leaves and longer than its body.
Being stared at by the surrounding people, it curled up and trembled, as if it was a little frightened.
Its right foot was stained with blood, as if it was injured.
"Tsk tsk, this fox actually has two tails. What a rare breed.”
"There is still some distance before winter. Otherwise, this little fox's fur would be loved by many girls.”
"If its leg wasn't injured, the price would probably be higher.”
"Yeah, it's a pity. It's a bit of a fly in the ointment."
"Boss, how much is this fox?”
"Ten taels of gold, no bargaining!" The man dressed as a hunter said in a low voice.”
Whoosh.
When they heard the astronomical price of ten taels of gold, everyone was in an uproar. Ten taels of gold could allow an ordinary family of four to live comfortably for a year.
"Boss, with your price, even if you set up a stall here until next year, you won't be able to sell it.”
"Yes, although this fox has two tails and is a little rare, I can buy ten high-quality foxes with ten taels of gold.”
"Let's go, let's go. This guy is crazy about money.”
Everyone discussed animatedly before they scattered.
Only Zhao Ziyi was still standing there with Su Ming.
"Su Ming, let's buy this fox. It's so pitiful.”
Zhao Ziyi looked at the little fox licking her wound and could not help but feel motherly love.
Su Ming nodded and looked at the boss."Boss, are you selling it for five taels of gold? This fox is seriously injured.”
The man thought about it for a moment, as if he felt that the price Su Ming offered was still acceptable.
"Alright," he nodded.
Su Ming took out a gold ingot worth five taels and handed it over.
The man took the gold ingot and took a bite. After confirming that it was genuine, he immediately beamed with joy.
"This fox belongs to you now.”
Zhao Ziyi cast Su Ming a look of surprise. He was just an Embroidered Uniform Guard who cleaned up the library. Since when did he become so rich? He was willing to pay five taels of gold in one go.
"Su Ming, when did you become so rich? Where did you get that gold?”
Zhao Ziyi looked at him hesitantly.
"My uncle gave it to me."
Su Ming explained with a smile.
"Oh."
Regarding this explanation, Zhao Ziyi could still accept it.
She cast a glance at the cage Su Ming had lifted and said,"Su Ming, let's go back. This little fox is injured.”
"Alright."
Su Ming nodded, and the two of them walked towards the Northern Garrison.
When he returned to the library, Su Ming gave the little fox a simple cleaning of its wounds, then crushed a healing medicinal pill into powder and applied it on its wounds before wrapping it up carefully with a cloth.
"Alright." Su Ming smiled.
The little fox widened its big, sparkling eyes, and a hint of gratitude appeared on its face. It bent its forelimbs and continuously cupped its hands towards Su Ming.
When Zhao Ziyi saw this scene, his eyes involuntarily lit up, and he said with a smile,""Wow, Su Ming, look! She's bowing to you with her hands folded in front of her chest. Haha, how fun.”
"Give her a name." Su Ming smiled.
Zhao Ziyi thought for a while and said,"Let's call it Five Liang. We bought it with five liang of gold. When winter comes, we'll kill it and make a shawl for you."
When she heard Zhao Ziyi's words, the little fox immediately hid behind Su Ming in fear. She looked at Zhao Ziyi with a terrified expression and trembled.
Su Ming was speechless.
I bought this fox just because I don't have any cultivation, so I wanted to make a shawl for me.
Su Ming cast Zhao Ziyi a glance, and warmth surged in his heart.
He said," Let's call it Xuelian. With a little training, its two big tails can help me clean the document warehouse."”
"Wuuu
When it heard Su Ming's suggestion, the little fox immediately let out a few howls, as if it felt that Su Ming's suggestion was very good.
It was as if it was saying that it would work hard when it recovered.
"Wow, this little guy seems to really understand what we're saying.”Zhao Ziyi was somewhat surprised.
"Alright, Xuelian, go play by yourself.”
Su Ming placed it on the ground and picked up the book on the table to read.
