The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 104: It’s just the Soul Breathing Immortal Grass, I’ll help you steal it (6k)

My dear ancestors, this is already a pleasant surprise, please don’t cause any more trouble!

When the time comes, let your father know that two little Jindan realm masters from a remote area persuaded his stupid son to steal things from home, and then broke off the engagement with the Lord of the Mansion's daughter. By then, even if they have ten lives, it will not be enough to make amends.

"How much is it? We'll buy it!"

Yan Xiaohu quickly took out all the money he had on him, including the medicinal herbs he had already bought. Zhou Qing also emptied out the entire storage bag.

Although I know I can't buy even one of these things, I can't just take other people's things for free.

Zhang Wanbao quickly refused, even getting a little angry. "Two big brothers, what are you doing? Are you looking down on me? This is just a small token of my gratitude. Besides, it's not worth much."

The two of them wanted to cry but had no tears.

Please don't say thank you, we feel like we are already in trouble.

"Hold on!"

Looking at the two infant-forming pills, Yan Xiaohu pulled Zhou Qing to the corner again and whispered to him head to head.

"Things have come to this, why don't we just be good people and see this thing off to the bitter end?"

"For the sake of the Infant Forming Pill, this is the only way."

"Old Four, thank you for your hard work. Keep perfecting this plan and try your best to get him the girl. I have a feeling that if this matter isn't handled properly, I'm afraid we'll both disappear halfway."

"Third Brother, don't scare me."

"It's true, my sixth sense is very accurate."

Zhou Qing was silent because of this incident.

As soon as the two turned around, they saw Zhang Wanbao smiling and handing them another manual. "Brothers, this is the list for this auction. If you see anything you need, just tell me and I'll definitely get it for you."

Seeing this, the two of them blushed again.

Are you out of your mind, guy?
No matter how enthusiastic you are towards others, there must be a limit.

If you continue like this, how can your father be confident in passing the family property to you? I'm afraid it will all be squandered in a few years.

It’s better to have another one as soon as possible.

"Thank you, but you have to accept these spirit stones. Consider them as our purchases. I will definitely pay you back when I have money. Otherwise, our friendship will end here!"

Yan Xiaohu and Zhou Qing said seriously.

Zhang Wanbao couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

"My two brothers are so kind and righteous!" Zhang Wanbao admired them very much.

From the initial one thousand medium-grade spirit stones to the current Nascent Soul Pill, the two people in front of him have always acted in a principled manner and never dragged their feet.

Such qualities are so rare.

Only after seeing Zhang Wanbao accept it did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let me see!"

Yan Xiaohu then took the manual and began to read it with curiosity.

Zhou Qing picked up the imaging stone again, carefully observing Xiao Cancan's expression, trying to find a remedy.

At the same time, Wu Chuan walked out of the room, greeted the other guards, and after ensuring that his young master was safe, he glanced casually and his body trembled suddenly.

In the darkness opposite, an old figure stood there for who knows how long.

At this moment, the man slowly stretched out his hand and waved to him gently.

Wu Chuan was terrified and hurried over, then bowed respectfully: "Master Fu——"

…………

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother——" Just as Zhou Qing was racking his brains to come up with a new strategy for Zhang Wanbao, Yan Xiaohu, who was originally holding the booklet, seemed to have suddenly discovered something surprising, and ran over hurriedly with a look of surprise on his face.

Zhou Qing looked at it with confusion in his heart, and saw a pattern of spiritual herbs printed on the page.

[Soul Breathing Immortal Grass, extremely mature, perfect appearance, starting price is one top-grade Spirit Stone. No high-grade or other Spirit Stones will be accepted. Barter is acceptable.]

Looking at the words above, the two looked at each other excitedly.

There will actually be a real Soul Breathing Immortal Grass at this auction.

Treasures like this are usually priceless. The last time I saw it, it was on the black market, and it was just a seedling. Even so, the stall owner demanded a top-grade spirit stone for it.

This thing could heal the damage Master had sustained in his soul for years. If he missed it this time, he wouldn't know when he'd encounter it again.

After all, the situation on Second Senior Sister's side is still unclear.

"One top-grade spirit stone is just the starting price. The final transaction price should be around five," said Yan Xiaohu.

Zhou Qing frowned, because the manual said that only the best-grade spirit stones could be used for this thing, and top-grade ones were not acceptable.

He really wanted to buy it back to his master.

"What are you looking at? What is this? Soul Breathing Immortal Grass? What's it used for?"

Seeing the two of them whispering again, Zhang Wanbao came over curiously and soon saw the portrait in the manual.

Then he said, "You want it? Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll steal it for you tonight, and you can say I ate it afterwards."

After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Does this guy really think this is a cheap thing? This is the Soul Breathing Herb that is hard to come by!

With five top-grade spirit stones, your father will definitely break your legs, and us too.

But looking at his honest appearance, for some reason, the two of them were inexplicably moved.

This guy really treats them as friends.

"Don't mess around!" Yan Xiaohu warned quickly.

After all, this guy is a little bit stupid. If you don't explain it to him clearly, you might really give them a "surprise" tomorrow.

By then, even if the two of them had a hundred mouths, they would not be able to explain it clearly.

Oh, first he tricked my son into breaking off the engagement with the Mansion Lord’s daughter, completely severing the long-standing cooperative relationship between the two families, then he instructed him to steal the Infant Forming Pill, and now he even wants the Soul-Breathing Immortal Grass.

Are you going to take my life tomorrow?

Zhou Qing also said earnestly: "You don't know the value of firewood, rice, oil and salt until you run a household. Don't do anything stupid. We do need this Soul Breathing Immortal Grass, but we will find a way to get it on our own."

Zhang Wanbao said, "Don't worry, it's okay. Even if I get caught, the old man won't do anything to me. At most, he'll lock me up in a dark room for a few days. After all, I'm his only son."

After hearing this, the two of them were so sad that they could not cry.

Why do you believe everything you hear?

"Brother Wanbao, listen to me. Your father has had a very difficult life. Although we've never met, he single-handedly supports such a large family business, busy every day, and dealing with all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships. As his son, you should help him, not hold him back."

"You must not take your father's love for you for granted. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Qing spoke sincerely.

Yan Xiaohu nodded repeatedly. "Yes, these two Infant Formation Pills have already helped us a lot. And you can see from the manual that they can only be traded with top-grade spirit stones. Based on my experience, someone must be using your auction to sell them."

"Your father only took a small commission. If you steal it and give it to us, your family will have to make up for the loss. Of course, I know your family is not short of money, but this is not the way to do it, and you must not do it like this!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wanbao fell silent.

Then he looked at the two of them, his face moved, and suddenly stepped back and saluted.

"Thank you for your teachings, brothers. Wanbao understands!"

Seeing this scene, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I was almost killed by this guy, but luckily I reacted in time.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
At this moment, applause was heard outside the door. When they turned around, they saw an old man appear outside the door at some point.

As a businessman, Qian Dafu's face changed immediately and he quickly sent a message to the two of them.

"It's over, it's over. This is Fu Kui, the steward of the Wanxiang Auction. Everyone respectfully calls him Old Fu or Master Fu. His cultivation has long since reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He might even have one foot in the Soul Severing Realm. Even the Palace Master has to greet him politely when he sees him."

"Didn't this little ancestor just say that he wanted to bring all eight Infant Formation Pills prepared for the auction? It's only because he met this person that he could bring two. I guess he's afraid of alerting the enemy."

After hearing Qian Dafu's words, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu turned pale instantly.

"Grandpa Fu——"

Seeing Fu Kui appear here, Zhang Wanbao felt a little nervous and quickly ran over with a simple smile.

"Grandpa Fu, how did you know I was here? Let me introduce them to you. They are my..."

"These are the two big brothers you know!" Fu Kui suddenly interrupted Zhang Wanbao, with a smile on his face from beginning to end.

Then, a terrifying pressure suddenly locked onto the two of them.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu only felt a dryness in their throats, and immediately shook their heads and waved their hands repeatedly under the pressure.

"He's joking, we're not familiar with each other!" they said in unison.

Zhang Wanbao: “…”

But soon, Fu Kui burst into laughter and withdrew his pressure.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just following the Guild Master's orders. Look at this guy of mine. He's been hooking up with some bad friends lately. I even persuaded him to return the marriage certificate. Now it seems that this kid has good taste. You guys are pretty good!"

Fu Kui praised sincerely.

Both of them looked embarrassed.

They really didn't know about the marriage certificate.

"Thank you for the praise, senior!" The two of them saluted quickly.

Zhang Wanbao wanted to say something, but Fu Kui raised a finger, signaling him to be quiet for a while.

Then he looked at the two of them and said, "Wanbao is a simple-minded child. He has never left Lingyun Mansion since he was a child. Including Xiao Cancan, they have been growing up under our noses. What we can do is to provide them with the best environment for growth, including people and things."

"We don't welcome those with impure motives. Of course, this might also cause him to see everything in the brightest light, but so what? We have our own considerations on what people should experience at a certain age."

After hearing Fu Kui's words, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu nodded in agreement, and were even a little envious of Zhang Wanbao for having a father who protected him so well.

I also seem to understand his recent simple behavior.

Zhang Wanbao looked thoughtful after hearing this. Fu Kui continued, "You two may not look much older than Wanbao, but your elders have educated you very well. Your character is impeccable. Wanbao is lucky to know you."

"I've heard everything. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry. I even have the right to decide on the matter of the Soul Breathing Immortal Grass."

"If you need it, I can give you a discount for Wanbao's sake and trade it to you first. You don't have to show it at the auction. Otherwise, you might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."

When they heard Fu Kui's words, their eyes suddenly lit up.

I have to say that this is a good opportunity to deal with it secretly internally to avoid causing a lot of unnecessary trouble later.

But the key is, they have no money!

"Senior, please wait a moment!" After Zhou Qing saluted again, he quickly pulled Yan Xiaohu aside.

Then he said in a voice transmission: "Third Brother, I think we can give it a try."

Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Are you talking about that piece of Chaos Mysterious Gold?"

Zhou Qing nodded. "The previous plan was to have Master come over and deal with this piece of Chaos Mysterious Gold. He would decide whether to take it back to the sect or deal with it here. However, the risk factor of the Mother-Child Scroll is too high. Neither you nor I want Master to take that risk."

"I feel that this opportunity is not something I can easily pass up. It is worth taking the risk."

Yan Xiaohu frowned and said, "Old Four, you have to know that such a large piece of Chaos Mysterious Gold is worth at least seven top-grade Spirit Stones. I also want to exchange this Soul Breathing Immortal Grass for Old Mo, but the premise is that our safety is ours. To be more precise, your safety. Before I left, I promised Master that I would take good care of you."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly: "I want to take a gamble. He is from a wealthy family and might not even be interested in these spirit stones."

Yan Xiaohu said solemnly, "Fourth Brother, remember what Senior Brother said. Never try to gamble on human nature. There are often many things that others want you to see."

Zhou Qing was silent.

But soon, Yan Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"But this time, I'll gamble with you!"

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

The entry note above Yan Xiaohu's head, "God-like Junior Brother", instantly changed to "Courageous Junior Brother".

Looking at his third senior brother, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, Third Brother. If anything unexpected happens, I will use all means to help you leave safely!" Zhou Qing said seriously.

Yan Xiaohu almost laughed out loud, but fortunately it was just a telepathic message.

"You're still helping me leave? I almost helped you. Okay, okay, it's just selling something, but you're making it feel like we're parting like life and death."

"If it's destined to happen, it will happen. If it's not, don't force it. We just picked this thing up on the way. The worst that can happen is that we kneel down and give it to them for free. They're just begging for our lives. There's nothing shameful about it."

Third Senior Brother is always so optimistic and open-minded, which makes Zhou Qing feel at ease.

Then, the two of them walked out.

Zhou Qing waved his hand, and the dazzling piece of chaotic black gold appeared in his hand.

Ever since the old hen was adopted by the third senior brother, he has been keeping it.

In the words of the third senior brother, he is just lucky, and if he keeps this money, maybe he will make money.

I didn't expect that this time not only did I not make any money, but I also had to lose it all.

But the two did not feel sad at all, but were full of pride.

When he saw such a large piece of Chaos Black Gold, Fu Kui was obviously stunned, with a look of surprise on his face, and hurried forward.

"Is this... Chaos Black Gold? Where did you two get it?" Fu Kui asked.

Zhou Qing said, "This is my master's heirloom. Senior, I wonder if it can be used in exchange?"

Fu Kui burst into laughter. "It's more than just an exchange. I'll even give you money at the auction. Not bad, not bad. Excellent quality. It even has a natural fishy smell, as if it's just been unearthed."

"Not only can it replace the Soul Breathing Immortal Grass, it can also serve as the finale. If you trust me, give it to me and I'll come back to you at this time tomorrow. How about that?"

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate and handed over the Chaos Black Gold directly.

Seeing this, Fu Kui's eyes were filled with admiration: "You are quite courageous. You really are not worried at all that I will take it all for myself."

Zhou Qing looked at Zhang Wanbao with a smile.

"I believe in him!"

Zhang Wanbao was immediately moved and looked at Fu Kui.

"Grandpa Fu, they are my good friends and even better brothers. Can you give me a discount?"

Fu Kui took the Chaos Mysterious Gold, looked at Zhang Wanbao, and said with a smile: "That depends on you."

"Me?" Zhang Wanbao asked in confusion.

Fu Kui didn't want to say anything more, but said: "It's getting late, so let's go first!"

After saying that, he took Zhang Wanbao away.

They watched their backs disappear into the night before they realized that their backs were already soaked.

It has to be said that making a deal with a Great Perfection Spirit Transformation Realm being whom you meet for the first time is quite risky.

After all, if someone wants to embezzle money, they can just move a finger to completely erase all traces here.

At least seven top-grade spirit stones can be obtained without anyone noticing.

"That's Chaos Black Gold!"

Qian Dafu, who realized it later, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu sat down on the chairs together, scrambling to drink the water, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

It seems that they made the right bet!

…………

"So, that little fat guy is the young master of the Wanxiang Auction? And your father is the master of Lingyun Mansion?"

Inside the room, Li Shitao looked shocked.

To be honest, neither the previous owner of this body nor she after she started a new life had any idea of ​​the true identities of the two.

Xiao Cancan nodded, glanced at Li Shitao's chest inconspicuously, and then said, "I'm sorry, Sister Tao, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"No, it's okay. You have such a good background. I'm so happy for you," Li Shitao said with a smile.

Then she supported her head with one hand, her hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall, her eyes sparkling with light: "You've been here with me for two days, isn't your father worried about you?"

Xiao Cancan leaned slightly to the side and said, "He's very busy, probably doesn't have time. Let's not talk about this for now. What do you think Zhang Wanbao meant by suddenly bringing this thing?"

Li Shitao looked at the marriage certificate on the bed, thought for a moment and said, "Since you consider me your best friend, it's only natural for me to help you with your advice. But the prerequisite is that I need to know your story."

Xiao Cancan nodded, and after sorting out her thoughts, she said, "The story begins when my father was first transferred to Lingyun Mansion. After the old mansion master passed away, the imperial capital sent my father to take up the position of mansion master..."

The soft moonlight shines into the house through the window lattice. On the spacious carved bed, a beautiful woman with lingering charm and a simple-minded girl are talking softly, and laughter can be heard from time to time.

Outside, figures lurked in the shadows on various buildings and trees, their eyes scanning the surroundings like hawks. Any sign of movement would prompt someone to rush over to investigate...

The next night, after anxiously waiting, they finally met Zhang Wanbao and Fu Kui following behind him again.

Zhang Wanbao had a smug look on his face, as if he had won a battle, and walked in without recognizing anyone.

"Look, what is this?" He took out a long jade box directly from the storage bag, and inside, there was a complete Soul Breath Immortal Grass sealed inside.

Their eyes lit up and they quickly took it.

After confirming that everything was correct, he excitedly saluted Zhang Wanbao and Fu Kui.

Fu Kui said, "If you want to thank someone, then thank Wanbao. He spent the entire night talking to the guild leader, even throwing a tantrum, and finally got it for the lowest price. It could have been sold for five top-grade spirit stones, but I'll give it to you for four."

"Also, the piece of Chaos Mysterious Gold you gave me was valued at seven top-grade Spirit Stones after a professional appraisal. However, after his fuss, it was finally sold for eight. These are the four top-grade Spirit Stones that were offset. Keep them safe."

Fu Kui immediately took out four top-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

These are four ordinary top-grade spirit stones. The spiritual power they contain is extremely high and there are almost no impurities.

You know, in any sect, top-grade spirit stones are strategic materials, used to quickly heal injuries or activate the last trump card.

Better than the best-grade spirit stones are the five-element spirit stones and other rarer spirit stones.

Such as Thunder Spirit Stone, Wind Spirit Stone, etc.
Before, in order to thank Zhou Qing for bringing him out of the cave, the second uncle threw him a water-attributed spirit stone from the five elements spirit stones.

Spiritual power is more gentle and can make people calm when absorbed.

"Thank you, senior, and thank you, brother Wanbao!"

The two were very grateful. After all, they had two extra top-grade spirit stones for free.

Zhang Wanbao boasted: "What's there to thank me for? We are brothers after all."

"The auction will start tomorrow, but I have things to do, so I'll leave first!" said Fu Kui.

The two of them hurriedly said goodbye.

"It's just like a dream!" Yan Xiaohu's eyes lit up as he looked at the four top-grade spirit stones in his hand.

The mission of this trip to Lingyun Mansion was completed in excess in just two days.

There were two Infant Forming Pills, four more top-grade spirit stones on his body, and finally he got a Soul Breathing Immortal Grass.

More importantly, I met a rich second-generation guy.

"We'll each have one Infant-Forming Pill, and two Spirit Stones each!" Yan Xiaohu said.

Zhou Qing also accepted it happily.

Qian Dafu, who was standing by, was so envious, but no one noticed that behind that smiling face, a hint of greed flashed across his face.

"Brothers, now that you have finished your work, it's my turn next," said Zhang Wanbao.

The two of them smiled, and Zhou Qing said, "Don't worry, we'll take the money to help others get rid of their misfortunes. What you need to do next is to keep yourself busy."

"Get busy?" Zhang Wanbao seemed thoughtful.

Zhou Qing said: "Doesn't the auction start tomorrow? I guess Xiao Cancan should participate. Even if she doesn't, it's okay. You just need to do your best. Then you can do this..."
