C130 Wait a Minute!
Walking on the main road of Chiang Capital, Ye Heng couldn't help but feel amazed by the prosperity of this place.
As expected of the imperial capital of Northern Jiang Empire. Compared to the Yiwan City, the Chiang Capital was at least several times more prosperous. More than that.
At a glance, it was crowded with people. The pavilions and pavilions were filled with vendors' stalls.
From time to time, one could see some treasures that were filled with elemental energy sparkling in those small stalls.
Those peddlers were also unusually working hard to boast about how awesome their treasures were, so that the customers who came and went would pay for them one after another.
"High grade Mortal grade Green Steel swords are sold at a low price. Don't miss it when you pass by. "
"High grade Yellow rank martial skill, Mountain Rending Palm. Its power is comparable to a low grade Profound rank martial skill. It only costs 300 crystals, 300 crystals, and 300 crystals. Important things, repeat them three times!"
"Medium grade Origin Energy Pill. One pill is enough to recover all of your Origin Energy. You deserve it. The price for jumping off the cliff was 500 Origin Crystals per bottle. After crossing this village, there will be no such shop. Welcome to buy it. "
"Spiritual Awareness Stage Strange Beasts. Mist Shadow Steel Snake's snake gall can cure 100 poisons to strengthen one's constitution. It only costs 1000 Essence Crystals or 1 million gold coins. "
. . .
Because this was the capital of the Northern Jiang Empire, gold coins and Essence Crystals could be used as currency.
Of course, compared to gold coins, martial artists were more inclined to trade Essence Crystals.
Hence, most people who used gold coins to pay were ordinary people without any elemental energy.
However, there were also many warriors who needed some gold coins in case of emergencies because they wanted to trade with ordinary people.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Essence Crystals were just some shining stones. Even if they wanted it, it would be useless. It was far from being as dependable as money.
After taking a few steps, a commotion came from the entrance.
The originally narrow road was blocked by those people who came to watch.
Ye Heng could vaguely hear the sounds of quarreling.
No matter what, Ye Heng had to pass through the front if he wanted to pass through this place.
As Ye Heng approached, the sounds of quarreling became louder.
"We previously agreed to pay one thousand crystals, but now it has increased to two thousand crystals? Aren't you lying?" The voice was unusually loud and clear, and Ye Heng could clearly hear it when he was more than thirty meters away.
Now that he was closer, the voice exploded beside his ears like a thunderclap.
Just by hearing the voice, one could imagine that the owner of this voice should be a big man.
Subsequently, Ye Heng relied on his extremely strong physical strength to squeeze out a path from the crowd. He immediately extended his head and looked towards the center of the commotion.
He saw that there was an exceptionally handsome scholar standing there, arguing with stall owner, who was standing opposite of him.
Because the quarrel was too intense, the scholar's face was flushed with anger, and it was obvious from his face that he was furious.
The source of the argument between the two was on the square table in front of stall owner. It was a crystal clear object that looked like a green gem.
Ye Heng glanced at it indifferently. Combined with the shouts he had heard before, he guessed about the emerald-like object.
If Ye Heng did not guess wrong, this emerald-shaped thing should be the snake gall of the Shadowmist Steel Snake among the crowd of peddlers.
En, it was also a Spiritual Awareness Stage Shadowmist Steel Snake.
If that was the case, Ye Heng guessed that this scholar in front of him wanted to buy the Shadowmist Steel Snake gall of stall owner.
However, because stall owner was greedy and saw that the scholar greatly desired the snake gall, he temporarily doubled the price.
If this were to happen to anyone else, they would probably be furious.
This was also not strange. The scholar in front of him would fight until his face turned red.
But then again, why was this scholar who looked rather delicate and pretty able to make such a vigorous sound?
Ye Heng couldn't understand it at all.
At this time, the argument in the center of the commotion escalated once again.
"The gallbladder of this Fogshadow Steel Snake belongs to me. If I want to increase the price, I will increase the price. What can you do about it? If you want to buy it or not, then scram. Don't stay here and hinder my business. "
That stall owner also held onto the scholar's abnormal desire for the Fogshadow Steel Snake's gallbladder, which was why his attitude was exceptionally tough.
"You. . . Shameless!" Although the scholar's voice was unusually loud and clear, because of his lack of vocabulary, he was unable to find a word to curse. In the end, he could only curse shamelessly.
When stall owner heard the scholar's curse, he smiled provocatively and said: "I am shameless. What can you do? Come on, bite me if you dare! If you don't have the ability, then hurry up and scram to the side, or else you'll have to take out two thousand crystals. "
Stinking brat, you still want to pretend in front of me? laozi is known as the invincible 'Iron Mouth' of the Merchant Shop, adding 1000 essence crystals is still not enough.
Stall owner has an arrogant appearance, as if he is certain that the scholar will buy it.
Handsome scholar, on the other hand, seemed to really need the snake gall of this Mist Shadow Steel Snake. He gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat the treacherous stall owner, but he still did not leave.
"That. . . I didn't bring that many Yuan Crystals. Look, can I borrow them first?"
In the end, as if he could tell that stall owner would not compromise, handsome scholar made a difficult decision to compromise.
"Ha? If you don't have money, then what are you buying? So you came out to beg for food and didn't bring your rice bowl with you? " When stall owner heard this, he was immediately annoyed. In the end, you said to me that you don't have money?
"Stinking brat, if you don't have money, why are you pretending to be your boss with me? You wasted so much of my saliva for nothing. Hurry up and get lost. Get lost as far as you can. Don't hinder me from doing big business. "
"I. . . You. . . " handsome scholar seemed to not know what to say. His face turned red and he stood there, not knowing what to do.
Ye Heng shook his head speechlessly when he saw handsome scholar not knowing what to do.
He did not know that the more he exposed his weak side to others, the more they would trample on him.
Compassion didn't exist in this world where the strong prey on the weak.
There were only those who were merciless and watched the show.
At this moment, Ye Heng could be considered as one of the spectators.
Of course, he would not be like that in a few more breaths.
Because he had just successfully squeezed out another path from the crowd. As long as he took two steps forward, he would be able to stay away from this ridiculous commotion.
However, at this moment.
The scholar who was at a loss seemed to have thought of something. He gritted his teeth and begged stall owner, who was in front of him, "This big brother. . . I. . . I only have a thousand crystals right now. Please give me the snake gall of this Shadowmist Steel Snake first. I swear. . . I will definitely return the remaining one thousand Essence Crystals in three days. I want to use this snake gall to save my sister, so I beg Big Brother to do it. "
However, handsome scholar's pleas were exchanged for stall owner's ridicule.
"Pooh! If you run away with this snake gall, where would I get the remaining one thousand Essence Crystals? Is there something wrong with your brain, or is there something wrong with my brain?"
"I. . . "
Handsome scholar hesitated for a long time. Finally, he bit his lips and took out something wrapped in black cloth from stall owner's shirt. Anyway, it was on the square table in front of stall owner.
Then, he carefully opened the black cloth and revealed what was inside.
It was a necklace made of colorful shells of different colors. In the middle of the shells was a sapphire that looked like a drop of water.
Under the sunlight, the sapphire sparkled, and then white fog appeared around it.
Upon closer inspection, the sapphire looked like a teardrop. It was exceptionally beautiful.
At this moment, even an idiot could tell that this necklace was extraordinary, let alone the fact that most of the onlookers had sharp eyes.
In the next moment, countless pairs of greedy eyes shot over from all directions and landed on the necklace on the square table.
"This. . . Is my family heirloom, Tears of the Sea. Although I don't know its exact price, it definitely isn't just 2,000 crystals. I'll mortgage this to you. Within three days, I'll definitely give you two thousand crystals. Therefore, before that, you must not sell the snake gall of this Mist Shadow Steel Snake to anyone else. "
After handsome scholar finished speaking, he pushed the" Tears of the Sea "in front of stall owner again, his eyes filled with a conflicted expression.
"En, alright, no problem. Don't worry, I will definitely not sell the snake gall of this Mist Shadow Steel Snake to someone else. I am very trustworthy, you can go around and ask around, who doesn't know my name. So you don't have to worry about me taking your 'Tears of the Sea' and running away. "
Stall owner patted his chest and promised.
However, in his heart, he had already planned which shop he would sell the Tears of Sea to.
As for the agreement he spoke of? He had never intended to comply at all.
The agreement was meant to be broken.
As long as he had enough money and enough Essence Crystals, he would be able to kill his mother.
Of course, his mother was already angered to death by him. This matter would never happen.
As for the surrounding crowd, after hearing stall owner's words, they all looked at handsome scholar with sympathy.
Only a fool would believe such words that could deceive a three-year-old child.
However, handsome scholar believed it.
To be more precise, he had no other choice. That was why he didn't want to give up even if there was only a sliver of hope.
Even if it was a false hope, he would choose to believe it.
"Alright, then hurry up and go raise the money. I'll wait for you here. " At this moment, stall owner swept away the mocking expression on his face. His attitude was unusually friendly, and it even made people feel overly friendly.
After saying that, the greed in stall owner's eyes was revealed without a doubt. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the 'Tears of the Sea' on the square table.
However, just as stall owner's hand was about to grab the 'Tears of the Sea'. . .
A figure flashed by and grabbed the 'Tears of the Sea' in his hand.
"Wait!"
