Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 23: The Butterfly Girl (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

The wind comes quickly and goes away quickly.

After the storm, the bedroom was in a mess.

Chen Xuan took a lazily nap.

There's nothing he can do. It's his fault that he's not as skilled as others and his body can't keep up with his thoughts.

In my imagination, he is a powerful king with the strength to move mountains and the courage to conquer the world. He rides a BMW across eight thousand miles and his gun can make nineteen continents freeze in the cold.

He could kill anyone he saw, and defeat a hundred with one person without any problem.

In reality, he was beaten to a pulp by Jiang Yingxue, a young lady at the second level of Qi training, and was exhausted.

So, don't underestimate anyone, especially women.

It always has amazing potential when you least expect it!
One day, I will take revenge and make you cry and beg for mercy!

Chen Xuan thought to himself as he slowly got dressed and got up.

There was no one in the room. Jiang Yingxue took Hu Mei out to buy groceries.

I made a cup of spiritual tea and was drinking it when Yu Qingsong came.

"I sold it for thirty-eight spirit stones."

"Sorry to bother you, Senior Yu."

Chen Xuan transferred eight spirit stones and put the rest into the storage bag.

"You should be careful recently. The Sima family of Luoyangling is arguing with the Xu family."

Yu Qingsong drank a sip of spiritual tea and continued, "They have a legitimate son named Sima Yan, who has been pestering Xu Jiali for a while. He recently disappeared, and it's suspected that Xu Jiali murdered him."

"Really? What does it have to do with me?"

Yu Qingsong sighed.

"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall, let alone a place like Qingyun Market. As long as you're willing to spend spirit stones, there's no news you can't find out."

"On the day Sima Yan disappeared, Xu Jiali happened to be out of the market with her maid."

"What a coincidence! You also went to the market on the same day."

"It was just a coincidence. I happened to be in the Shadow Forest that day, catching poisonous insects. You know, I never take the initiative to cause trouble."

"I know what's the use! Will the Cultivation Family listen to your explanation? The Soul Bewitching Technique, the Zhengyang Mirror, the Soul Searching Technique, there are plenty of ways to make you speak."

Chen Xuan was speechless.

What is this!

"Did the Sima family dare to use these methods on Xu Jiali?"

As far as he knew, these methods all had obvious side effects, seriously affecting the state of mind and path of the person being cast the spell.

"Without real evidence, the Sima family certainly wouldn't dare to use it on Miss Xu. But what's there for a lowly casual cultivator to be so bold about!"

"Don't they have the Jinyang Sect's rules?"

"Yes. So, in the market, they won't do it openly. But outside the market..."

Yu Qingsong didn't say anything else.

"I understand. During this period of time, I will not leave the market."

After Yu Qingsong left, Chen Xuan fell into deep thought.

As expected, it is not allowed to be a pushover in the world of cultivation.

Just by helping the creditor Xu Jiali, he provoked a powerful enemy like the Sima family.

Fortunately, the method was clean and the Xu family was powerful, so there was no need to worry too much.

Several days have passed, and neither Xu Jiali nor Ying'er has come to see him. They probably don't want him to be noticed by the Sima family.

It is better to rely on yourself than to seek help from others.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan touched the seventy-three spirit stones in his pocket and walked out of the house.

West Outer City Market.

The crowds were huge.

The goods here are usually a few cents cheaper than those in the sect’s shops, but the quality varies greatly, so it all depends on your eyesight.

Chen Xuan strolled around slowly.

At this moment, the sound of arguing was suddenly heard.

"Uncle, there's something wrong with the swallowtail butterfly you sold. It has a hidden disease and is almost dead! Why don't you compensate me with spirit stones? Four spirit stones, just give me some, and consider it a loss for me."

The voice was very pleasant, as clear as a silver bell, and the tone was full of accusations and grievances against the unscrupulous businessmen!
"Oh, Miss Su, even if you want to earn spirit stones, you can't catch me and grab them."

The stall owner's voice was somewhat helpless: "This is a market. We sell the goods without any responsibility. Do you think this is a sect-run store and that you can still be promoted?"

"But this swallowtail butterfly is really dying! Five spirit stones, how can I explain to my family when I go back?" Yin Ling said in a somewhat annoyed voice.

"Uncle, how about I take a loss and sell it back to you for four spirit stones?"

"impossible!"

Chen Xuan found it funny when he heard it.

You can tell at first glance that this girl has never been exposed to the harsh treatment of society. She spent her money in vain and wanted to return the goods with a small loss. There is no such a cheap thing in the world!

"Hey, fellow Taoist, please judge for yourself. She's being unreasonable!"

The stall owner saw that Chen Xuan looked familiar and enthusiastically pulled him aside and spoke.

Then, the young girl's gaze fell on him. He was quite pretty, with delicate features, like a fine porcelain doll.

It would look better if there were no tears in the eyes.

"I'm planning to buy this swallowtail butterfly too."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, shook his head, and sighed, "But, he offered me twenty spirit stones."

"Although the market price of a swallowtail butterfly is three spirit stones, he can sell it to you for five spirit stones, which is not too bad."

Hearing this, the young girl's cherry lips curled up, as if she was about to cry.

"My friend, that's right! We opened the door to do business, it's a mutual agreement, and I didn't force you to buy or sell." The stall owner said unhappily.

"Actually, this swallowtail butterfly is quite good. If it can be upgraded to a mid-grade one, with the ability to create invisibility and phantom mist, it would be worth more than fifty spirit stones!"

"Expert!" The stall owner gave a thumbs up.

"Look, I didn't lie to you. If it were that easy to raise, I wouldn't have sold it to you for just five spirit stones!"

The young girl asked with a hint of hope: "Brother, you are so powerful, can you help me save Xiaodie?"

"Let me see."

After a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he found that the swallowtail butterfly was not seriously injured, but had been hungry for a long time and was in low spirits.

"What did you feed it?"

"Spiritual juice."

"Just spiritual juice?"

"Yes."

Seeing Chen Xuan's chuckle, the young girl came to her senses and pointed at the stall owner.

"You said it's none of your business! It was you who said all we had to do was feed him spiritual juice!"

"The swallowtail butterfly can be fed with spiritual juice. I've been raising it for so long, but it's spoiled in your hands!"

The stall owner argued with his neck held high.

"Forget it!" Chen Xuan persuaded the young girl, "If you want to save Swallowtail Butterfly, just follow me."

"I'll come back to settle the score with you!"

After saying some harsh words, the young girl followed Chen Xuan into a spiritual tea shop.

I booked a private room and ordered two cups of fine spiritual tea.

The two sat down as host and guest, and the young girl took the initiative to introduce herself.

Her name is Su Yanping. She comes from the Su family of Feifeng Mountain, a small family of cultivators nearby. The ancestor of the Su family is a foundation-building cultivator.

Chen Xuan smiled.

Su Yanping is only thirteen or fourteen years old, in her prime, but she knows how to use the family name to bluff people.

"I can help you save this swallowtail butterfly."

"Thank you brother!"

Su Yanping was delighted.

"But what do you want in exchange?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

"I... one spirit stone, okay?"

Of course Chen Xuan doesn't lack this spirit stone.

"You can control insects?"

"I know a little."

"Does your Su family have the inheritance of insect control techniques?"

Su Yanping shook her head.

"I only know a little bit. My mother taught me before, but she is gone now."

"That's it!"

Chen Xuan was a little disappointed.

I also thought that the Su family of Feifeng Mountain, like the Xu family of Wanshou Ridge, had inherited the art of controlling insects and cultivated many rare insects in the family.

"Then why did you buy swallowtail butterflies?"

"Xiaodie is very beautiful." Su Yanping murmured, "I have wanted to raise a psionic butterfly since I was a child. It can talk to me and grow up with me."

A soft place deep in my heart trembled slightly.

"Give me the swallowtail butterfly!"

"what?"

Soon, Su Yanping understood and quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, brother!"

"Come to the tea shop at this time tomorrow to get the swallowtail butterfly."

Chen Xuan drank up the spiritual tea and walked out of the tea shop box leisurely.

“Remember to pay the bill!”
