Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 114 Gold Devouring Bug

In the market, a square-faced man was walking around the stalls, occasionally glancing in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.
The man had broad shoulders and a thin waist, with an iron sword hanging from his waist. He looked like a down-and-out casual cultivator.

He looked at the things on the stall intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was examining them, but his peripheral vision was always directed towards the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

The stall owner was a man wearing a bamboo hat, with his trouser legs rolled up to his knees. He looked more like an old farmer than a cultivator.
In fact, this person's eyes are full of light and his cultivation is quite good.

Seeing the square-faced man looking at the items on the stall, he couldn't help but praise him, "Daoyou have a good eye. Look at this bottle. It's a poisonous insect raised by the Five Poison Sect."

"It can penetrate into the soles of people's feet and eat up all their flesh and blood."

The square-faced man was looking at the things on the stall intentionally or unintentionally. He was stunned when he heard the words and looked at the bottle in his hand.
"Why would something from the Five Poison Sect appear here?"

The stall owner, who was wearing a bamboo hat and looked like an old farmer, lowered his voice and said,
"You don't know yet, right?"

He showed a mysterious look, and seeing that he had aroused the interest of the person opposite him, he whispered,
"The Five Poison Sect sent people to attack the Red Cloud Sect, and many people died. This is a possession that belongs to a true disciple of the Five Poison Sect."

This square-faced man hangs around in the market town. He is ruthless and merciless, but he does things cleanly and has never been exposed.
The prices in the market were very high these days, so he kept an eye on the people who entered and left the Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Wang was young, and his clothes were not expensive, which suited his needs very well.

A young man who worked hard to save money and went to Baibao Pavilion.

It was perfect for him.

So he was watching Chen Wang's movements while strolling around the stalls.
Now, after hearing what the stall owner said, he couldn't help but feel curious.
The people of the Five Poison Sect are good at using poison. Although their disciples have different methods, they all have their own specialties regarding poison.

He looked at the box in his hand.
"How to sell this thing?"

The stall owner wearing a bamboo hat smiled naively and said, "No bargaining, thirty spirit stones."

"Thirty Spiritual Stones?" The square-faced man raised his voice a little: "This price is too high!"

I was just casually browsing this stall and asking about the price.
I didn't expect this boss to be so shady!
The stall owner wearing a bamboo hat smiled and said, "This price is not expensive. Fellow Daoist, think about it, when a person is fighting, the other party is concentrating, but a bug suddenly bites the other party's foot and drills directly into the sole of the foot. Will he still be in the mood to cast spells?"

"This is a good thing for silencing people and for home travel."

"Is thirty spirit stones still expensive?"

What he said seemed to make some sense.
But the square-faced man frowned and said, "The Five Poison Sect attacked the Red Cloud Sect, how did their items end up in your hands?"

The stall owner wearing a bamboo hat said seriously: "We naturally use the formal channels, and everything is absolutely in compliance with the rules. You can rest assured, fellow Taoist."

This square-faced man has been in the market for many years and is no rookie.
Listening to what the stall owner said, this thing must have come from an unknown source.
"This bug is too expensive, forget it."

The stall owner wearing a bamboo hat observed the man's expression and found that he should have some purchasing power.

He immediately started selling another whistle, which seemed to be carved from white bones and looked extremely smooth.

"This whistle can gather poisonous snakes. When fighting an enemy, it can summon hundreds of poisonous snakes. Oh, the thought of that scene makes my scalp tingle."

"how much is it?"

"Eighteen Spiritual Stones."

"too expensive."

The stall owner was not discouraged and continued to recommend:

The quality of the things the stall owner introduced was pretty good, but the prices were a bit high.

He saw a copper bottle and took a closer look at the bug inside. It was about the size of a thumb and had a metallic luster. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

The stall owner wearing a bamboo hat immediately introduced: "This is called a gold-eating bug. It likes to eat metal. If you feed it with your blood for three days, it will recognize its master."

"If you really want it, how about I give it to you at a lower price?"

This poisonous insect is relatively rare in the Five Poison Sect. It grows slowly and needs to consume a large amount of metal.

The square-faced man was moved by these words.

The Five Poison Sect's stuff rarely circulates, and their sphere of influence is not here, so it is usually not accessible.
Finally, after some bargaining, he bought it for forty spirit stones. He originally wanted to do a business with no capital investment here, but he didn't expect to spend all his money in a big purchase.

After he left, the stall owner continued to sell to others.

Now it is not just his family that is selling here. The Five Poison Sect, the Qin Family, the Seven Stars Sect, and the personal belongings of the practitioners who died on the Alchemy Peak are all circulating in the market.
Moreover, the news spread quietly, and more and more people in the market knew about it.
The Five Poison Sect and other forces actually dared to launch a surprise attack on the Red Cloud Sect, but the people died and their belongings were divided up.
Some of it was even resold secretly.

The square-faced man had been paying attention to the movements in the Treasure Pavilion. He hadn't seen the young man come out for a long time.

"What's going on? Didn't he go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy things, but to find a job?"

He didn't know that the Treasure Pavilion already had special services.

Therefore, I just felt a little strange, and even thought that Chen Wang went to Baibao Pavilion to apply for a job.

After a long while, the square-faced man lost his temper.
"What the hell is this guy doing in there?"

“So long!”

The square-faced man cursed secretly.

"It took him so long to find two women. Does it take him so long to buy things inside?"

He wandered here and there, turning back and forth,
As a patient monk who specialized in robbery, he was a little impatient at this moment.

"Could it be that he had slipped out when I wasn't paying attention just now?"

However, he is extremely confident in his professional qualities.

After waiting for another half an hour, I finally saw the young man from before coming out of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Hold!"

Originally he just wanted to rob and kill people, but now he was so angry that he was burning with rage.

"When we catch this guy later, we must torture him."

He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This is because the sunk cost is too high.
It was originally just an ordinary robbery, but it was a waste of time for him to leave, and it would have taken even more time if he had continued to stare at it.

At this time, the square-faced man suppressed his anger.

After seeing the young man coming out, he quietly followed him.

…………

Treasure Pavilion,
After Chen Wang left, Jiang Ning came to the elegant room.
At this time, Wang Qing was only wearing a piece of clothing and was sweating profusely. She didn't even have the strength to move.

Jiang Ning frowned: "Why did it take so long? He is our high-quality customer. Don't use those methods of collecting and replenishing energy on him. Be careful that the deacon will blame you. You can't afford it."

Jiang Ning was getting a little anxious waiting outside, fearing that this vixen might have some bad intentions.

Wang Qing slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "You think too much."

But the voice was extremely hoarse, completely different from the soft voice just now.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with your throat?"

Wang Qing did not explain.

At this moment, this charming and graceful female cultivator looked really exhausted.

Jiang Ning is not an aggressive person, on the contrary, he has a very gentle personality. He was just a little worried that something might have happened to this high-quality customer.
Seeing Wang Qing so tired, he went forward to help her.

Then she saw a large wet spot on the bed sheet.

Jiang Ning's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't help but spit softly.
