Half-life immortal

Chapter 129 Deception
Situ Xiu waved at her, motioning for her to follow, and then walked towards a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes beside the intersection.Xue Qinglan hesitated for a moment, although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she still followed.But she also kept an eye out, if there was anything wrong, she had to be ready to run away at any time, and don't let this inexplicable guy take advantage of it.

This guy acts weirdly. Although he can't see any malicious intentions from him, Xue Qinglan has never believed in people with unknown backgrounds. The most important thing is that she asked who this guy is several times, but she was always persuaded by his smooth talk. It's passed, as if deliberately avoiding answering, there must be a problem!It's just that Xue Qinglan hasn't been able to guess what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd until now, which makes her, who is very curious and very bold, patiently read on.

Situ Xiu didn't seem to care what she was thinking behind him, he smiled and walked towards the middle-aged man on the side of the road.Then look at the background of the middle-aged man?Xue Qinglan took a rough look and knew that the man must be a cultivator.This is not difficult. Immortal cultivators have a distinctive temperament. Specifically, the breathing, eyes, and even standing postures of immortal cultivators are different from ordinary people. Xue Qinglan can still recognize this.

Are you an acquaintance?

This was her first thought, but Situ Xiu didn't look like him, so she wondered what the hell this guy was up to.But she didn't continue to think deeply, anyway, she would know after following up.

"Hi, this brother!" Situ Xiu greeted the middle-aged man without hesitation, regardless of the appearance of his brother who was dozens of years younger, the middle-aged man naturally showed a puzzled expression .

"Are you..." the middle-aged man asked politely.

Xue Qinglan followed Situ Xiu, and since she didn't know what he wanted to do, she couldn't intervene, so she just quietly poked her head out from behind him.

The middle-aged man quickly noticed her little girl and smiled at her.

Let's not talk about what Xue Qinglan thinks in her heart, just judging from her appearance, she is a little girl no matter what, and she is also a pretty pretty girl. With the coarse cloth dress she specially dressed up, she looks a little less Noble, even more amiable like a sister next door.And this middle-aged man is obviously not wary of a little girl like her.

Xue Qinglan entered the play quickly, and naturally positioned her role as a shy peasant girl. After being glanced at by the middle-aged man, she shrank back a little shyly and hid behind Situ Xiu.

Situ Xiu looked around "secretly", and then whispered to the middle-aged man: "Brother, are you interested in doing a business? I promise you will only make money and not lose money."

Xue Qinglan hid behind him, and also heard this sentence, but why did it sound a bit wrong, as if she had heard this tone before somewhere...

She couldn't help but gave him a weird look, thinking that you really have no good intentions, hey, hey, don't mess up and implicate me for a while.

The middle-aged man nodded "clearly", as if he understood what he meant.Unlike folks, there are many such private transactions among immortal cultivators, most of which are because the other party has some unscrupulous treasures for sale, and they are eager to sell, so they will find some buyers who pass by by chance.Obviously, middle-aged people can recognize the two of them as immortal cultivators at a glance.It's just that neither of them showed their aura, so the middle-aged man can't accurately judge the strength of the two of them, but roughly he can still see that Situ Xiu is relatively strong, while Xue Qinglan is relatively weak.

Situ Xiu pointed at the alley not far away, and said, "Let's talk over there."

The three of them walked to the edge of the alley, but this side was quiet, compared to the noisy street, there was no one around.

Xue Qinglan couldn't figure out what he wanted to do more and more. It seemed that she had never met someone like Situ Xiu since she stepped into the world of cultivating immortals. Now she just waited and watched for the better.

Situ Xiu said to the middle-aged man emotionally: "Brother, I am really reluctant to sell this thing. Alas, I got it by chance three years ago. Maybe I will never see a second copy in my life." If it wasn't for my sister, no matter how difficult it is, I wouldn't take it out."

Xue Qinglan knew that this "sister" must be referring to her. Of course, she was used to Situ Xiu's nonsense, but she was also a little curious, what kind of good thing is it?It seems that there are many things that you will never see a second copy in a lifetime, and not everyone has unnatural luck, like her Tianshui is a very rare thing, maybe you will never find a second copy.

The middle-aged man seemed to have seen many such things, and he was not too moved, but said lightly: "Well, what is it?"

Situ Xiu took out a utensil wrapped in black cloth from his storage bag, and held it with one hand. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that the item was not very heavy, but it was interesting for him to take it out with great care.The black cloth was an ordinary blackout cloth, not a new thing, so Xue Qinglan secretly looked at it curiously.

She didn't dare to be too explicit, since Situ Xiu wanted her to pretend to be a younger sister, then naturally she couldn't look like an outsider.Even if you don't help him, but for the sake of his helping her identify mixed drugs last time, you can't make trouble.

Situ Xiu saw that the middle-aged man's attention had been smoothly shifted to the things in his hands, while secretly laughing, he lifted a small corner of the black cloth, and quickly put the black cloth back on.But even at such a moment, there was still a strong golden light radiating from the black cloth. If Situ Xiu hadn't turned his back to the street, passers-by would definitely have noticed it.

Xue Qinglan was at a loss. She saw that piece of golden light, and it seemed to be quite beautiful, but her knowledge was as pitiful as her stature, she didn't know what it was at all, she just saw a little bit of light How can you tell what it is!

According to her estimate, the middle-aged people would not be furious if they let people look at the goods like this?

But the facts were contrary to what she imagined. Situ Xiu didn't explain anything, just let him see the golden light, and the middle-aged man showed a surprised expression, as if he saw some incredible treasure, and subconsciously wanted to be surprised. Exhale.But then he forcibly suppressed his excitement, blushed, and said, "Could it be...Sunlight Gold?"

Situ Xiu smiled in satisfaction, and said, "That's right, it's Sunlight Gold."

Sunlight gold?
Xue Qinglan pondered these three words in her heart, it sounded like some kind of metal... But I still haven't heard of it, what is sunlight gold?Is it baby?

She had many questions in her mind, but she couldn't ask them out. Just as she was about to swallow all the questions, Situ Xiu explained them thoughtfully.

"Seeing that you know the goods, this sunlight gold is a good thing. As long as you temper a fingernail-sized sunlight gold on any weapon, it will immediately raise the original level of the magic weapon by a grade or half a grade. And the one in my hand This piece of sunlight gold is a rare top-grade gold, and if it is extracted from the original gold, it will be at least the size of five fingernails. This thing is not easy to see, and the source is not safe, but it is indeed a rare good thing."

Xue Qinglan understood. She hadn't been a beginner for long, and she was all focused on cultivation. She really didn't know much about things outside her body like magic weapons. Only after hearing what he said, did she know that there were good things to upgrade magic weapons.But since it was so good, why did he sell it?strangeness……

The middle-aged man didn't beg for inspection anymore, because sunlight gold is special, it will gradually melt in the sun, and the piece of metal wrapped in black cloth in Situ Xiu's hand is not big in itself, if it is exposed to sunlight again, it will melt away. I'm afraid there is not even a scum left, which is why Situ Xiu quickly covered the black cloth again just now.

The middle-aged man was obviously moved, and said, "Let's make a price."

Without hesitation, Situ Xiu stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred thousand spirit stones."

One hundred thousand...? !

Xue Qinglan was already dumbfounded in astonishment, did she make a mistake, you actually charged one hundred thousand for such a small piece?

Although she found some ancient spirit stones in the secret room of the Yin Ruins, they were definitely not as large as one hundred thousand.I thought she had been promoted from a poor person to a rich person now, but I didn't expect that she was still at the bottom of the world of cultivating immortals, and she couldn't get on the table at all. Just such a small piece of broken stone is worth [-] yuan, and she can't be exchanged for it if you sell her. !

However, compared to her surprise, the middle-aged man seemed not so surprised, and said indifferently: "Sunlight gold is indeed rare, and most of the mining sources are monopolized by various sects. It is extremely rare even on the black market. It can be said that it is priceless. But brother, no matter how expensive sunlight gold is, there is an upper limit, after all, it is extremely difficult to refine sunlight gold, if you can’t refine it, this treasure is just a piece of scrap iron in your hands.”

It seems to be getting more and more profound...

Xue Qinglan couldn't help but feel ashamed of her ignorance. She didn't know whether there was a source of this metal in Taiqing Mountain. Why hadn't she heard of it before?Alas, it can be seen that the world of cultivating immortals is quite profound, so we should learn more.

Situ Xiu had obviously done his homework, and said, "Brother, that's not what you said. Look at how rare this Sunlight Gold is. As the source of the ore becomes scarcer, the value will definitely continue to rise. Even if I can't use it, brother, keep it." It will be worth a lot of money in the future, don’t you think so? If my sister didn’t urgently need resources for cultivation, how could I be willing to exchange this precious treasure for spirit stones!”

It has to be said that his level of lying has reached the point of proficiency, and even Xue Qinglan sounds like that.If she didn't know it well, she would really think that she had a deep relationship with this guy whose name she didn't even know.

The middle-aged man nodded again, agreeing with his statement in his heart, and said, "Even so, your bid is too high, [-]."

He said the price in his mind, and directly cut off the general price. This is almost the standard price of general auctions. If you say that this middle-aged man is quite realistic, he didn't think about bargaining too hard when he saw Situ Xiu taking the little girl.

Situ Xiu fell silent, as if he was considering whether to accept his bid. The price was quite fair, and he would not lose money if he could sell this price.

But at this time Xue Qinglan came out from behind him, timidly grabbed Situ Xiu's clothes, and said in a tender voice that she had never used before: "Brother, let's not embarrass this uncle, okay? There will always be other ways, if Qing’er’s life is not to die, God will give us a way out.”

Situ Xiu was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Xue Qinglan to make such an outburst at this time, but he reacted quickly, he caught up with her drama almost in the blink of an eye, and said mournfully, "Qing'er, This is my brother's last resort, if you can't help you improve your cultivation as soon as possible, no one will be able to help us in the future."

The middle-aged man was puzzled, and said, "Did you...have you encountered any difficulties?"

Xue Qinglan's big eyes were flickering, and the bright pupils did not know when there was a trace of tears, and the look of grievance was very realistic, and she sobbed weakly there without making a sound.

She thought to herself: I don't know what difficulties I have encountered, I just give a step, let this guy think about such brain-consuming things.Hmph, who told me that this guy didn't talk to me at the beginning, did he look down on my girl's acting skills?Is there any mistake? This girl relies on this to make a living. I want you to experience it!
She was secretly ruthless in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. On the contrary, she looked more and more pitiful. Anyone with a normal mind would feel a little compassion, and middle-aged people were no exception. Stepping into the door of cultivation, no matter how you look at it, she is a childish little girl.

Situ Xiu's heart moved, and soon he came up with an idea, and blurted out: "Brother, you don't know, we brothers and sisters were originally apprentices of a casual cultivator, but our master didn't know what kind of enemy he got into. They kept chasing and killing us. I'm fine, but my sister's cultivation base is superficial, and she almost died several times. If she can't strengthen her strength this time and replace her with some good treasures, maybe..."

He couldn't help choking up when he said it, looking serious.Only Xue Qinglan knows that there is no such thing, but just like if Xue Qinglan doesn't respect her master very much, this guy doesn't seem to change his face when he uses his master as a cover. ?

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "So that's the case. Well then..."

He hesitated for a while, after all, tens of thousands of spirit stones is not a small amount for a cultivator of average wealth. What about the problem.

He thought for a while, and finally said: "However, I still can't give you one hundred thousand spirit stones. I still have other uses in the near future. I can only give you seventy thousand at most. Do you think it's okay?"

Seventy thousand is already much more than fifty thousand. Anyway, Xue Qinglan can't imagine how to trade tens of thousands of spirit stones. Just taking them out can crush people to death, right?
Compared to her being entangled in these useless things, Situ Xiu was secretly happy. This was much better than he imagined, but on the surface he still showed some embarrassment, and finally agreed reluctantly: "Okay Well, if saving some money is basically enough, then let’s make a deal.”

Xue Qinglan blinked and looked at the middle-aged man, because Situ Xiu had already held the Sunlight Gold, and now she was waiting for the middle-aged man to take out the spirit stones, so she wanted to see how the middle-aged man moved out the [-] spirit stones .

To her surprise, the middle-aged man didn't take out a whole storage bag, but took out a few thin golden cards, which seemed to be made of some kind of metal, and looked very beautiful.

This is……

Xue Qinglan didn't hide her curiosity this time, she blinked at those thin gold cards.The middle-aged man handed over the seven gold cards to Situ Xiu with great pain, and then solemnly took the black cloth wrapped in Sunlight Gold from Situ Xiu.

When the money and goods were settled, Situ Xiu smiled, patted Xue Qinglan's head, and said, "Okay, sister, let's go."

Xue Qinglan seemed a little surprised. Could it be that that kind of gold card is worth [-] spirit stones?God, what kind of baby is this?

She was dragged away by Situ Xiu, and soon left the sight of the middle-aged man.After walking another distance and completely away from the middle-aged man, Xue Qinglan couldn't wait to ask the question in her heart.

"Hey, can you explain now, did you really sell that person some kind of sunlight gold?"

Xue Qinglan doesn't know Sunshine Gold, so of course she doesn't think it's so precious. Even if the two big men had sexily bargained for the price just now, she doesn't know him, but she doesn't know him. After tasting the sweetness, I still have some doubts in my heart.Besides, she didn't think that a bad person like Situ Xiu would really sell good things to others at a loss.

Situ Xiu smiled, shook his finger, and said, "Of course it's Sunlight Gold. Your brother has always done business without deception."

Xue Qinglan twitched her lips, her face full of disbelief, seeing him like this is 100% unreliable, how can you be innocent, you are good if you tell the truth!
"Hey, seriously, what the hell are you playing?"

Situ Xiu dragged her to an unoccupied corner, put the four gold cards in her hand with a smile, and said, "This is the soul-cultivation gold card that is commonly used in the world of cultivating immortals. One gold card can be worth ten thousand yuan." Lingshi. Hehe, to tell you the truth, the place where that guy came out is the place where the Lingshi gold card is exchanged, so I guess he must have a lot of Lingshi or gold cards in his hand, and sure enough, he is a rich guy."

Holding the gold card he gave, Xue Qinglan couldn't believe that such thin cards were worth [-] spirit stones, but what she couldn't understand was why Situ Xiu gave it to her?Even if you want to give her some reward, you shouldn't give her so much, right?There are a total of seven gold cards, and he actually gave away more than half of them without blinking an eye?She originally thought that after Situ Xiu finished explaining, she would have the cheek to ask him for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, but she didn't expect him to be so generous and give out four gold cards all at once.

Seeing the puzzled expression on her face, I knew what she wanted to ask. Situ Xiu pinched her little face fondly, and said, "Why, did you get knocked unconscious by the windfall of fortune? Brother didn't lie to you. , take it and buy some equipment you need."
