Wild Dogs

Seeing Yang Fan's disdain for the tattered straw sandals, the old woman beside him chuckled.

"Young man, please don't look down on these worn-out straw sandals."

"If these straw sandals were brand new, you couldn't buy them even if you offered ten thousand spirit stones."

"Let me tell you, this green vine grass has a natural affinity for wind, and it belongs to the wood element in the Five Elements theory."

"Wind is also associated with wood in the Five Elements. With this green vine grass and a wind-attribute crystal, the effect is extraordinary."

"As long as you use wood-attribute techniques, you can not only absorb the surrounding wood-attribute spiritual energy, but also the wind-attribute spiritual energy."

"With the wind attribute supporting you, your speed will be several times faster than before."

Hearing this, Yang Fan was somewhat tempted, but he glanced at the old woman and saw that she looked anxious.

Yang Fan knew in his heart that these straw sandals most likely had other fatal flaws.

He gently shook his head.

"This thing is too old and worn out. Even if it was powerful before, it's not worth much now."

He picked up the straw sandals and examined them for a few moments, looking disgusted.

Seeing that Yang Fan seemed somewhat interested, the old woman became even more enthusiastic and hurriedly began to explain.

"Young friend, why not give it a try? Once you try it, you'll know its value."

Yang Fan was somewhat tempted. He took off his boots and put on straw sandals, then tried taking a couple of steps.

He was somewhat surprised, never expecting that the straw sandals would have such an amazing effect.

After taking a step outside, he could feel a gust of wind carrying him forward.

Without using any movement techniques or spiritual energy, the speed was 20% faster than before.

Yang Fan nodded.

"This stuff does have some effect."

He then changed back into his own boots and looked at the old woman.

"How much is this?"

The old woman immediately became interested.

"If this item were brand new, it would be worth at least ten thousand spirit stones."

"Selling 20,000 or 30,000 is not impossible."

"However, this thing is now broken and old, so I'll give you a discount."

"Five thousand spirit stones will suffice."

Hearing this, Yang Fan smiled slightly and put down the straw sandals.

"Very well, then you can keep it and sell it to others at your leisure, senior. I won't take it."

After saying that, Yang Fan turned and left.

"Hey young man, even if a deal falls through, we can still be friends. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Let's talk again."

Yang Fan took two steps, then turned around and looked at the old woman with a half-smile.

"I've tried your straw sandals, senior. They only increase speed by 20% to 30% at most."

"Even if I use my spiritual energy, I can only use up to 50% at most."

"Although 50% speed sounds scary, it's still not as fast as flying with my magic sword."

"Since this thing isn't even as fast as flying on a sword, what use is it to me? You might as well keep it for yourself, senior."

With that, Yang Fan turned and left, snorting coldly as he went.

"Five thousand spirit stones, that's really asking for the moon."

"Young friend, don't be in a hurry, I can give you a discount."

"Take this back and have some skilled craftsmen repair it; it will be very helpful."

The old woman hurriedly spoke to Yang Fan, but Yang Fan just shook his head and walked forward.

"Young man, how about a thousand spirit stones?"

Yang Fan didn't stop, but just muttered something.

"A thousand spirit stones? You might as well just rob someone."

"Five hundred, five hundred is alright, isn't it? I asked for five thousand before, but now I only want five hundred spirit stones. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

Seeing that Yang Fan was about to leave, the old woman panicked and hurriedly called out to him.

Hearing this, Yang Fan stopped and strode back.

"It's agreed to be five hundred spirit stones."

"Five hundred it is, I'm an old man, I wouldn't lie to a little kid like you."

Although the old woman was unwilling, she still spoke to Yang Fan.

Unfortunately, these straw sandals weren't very useful to her.

She was old and naturally slower than other cultivators; even with those straw sandals, she couldn't escape very far.

Moreover, what Yang Fan said was true. If one really needed to escape, flying with a magic sword was much better than these straw sandals.

Yang Fan nodded, dropped off five hundred spirit stones, and placed some supplies on the platform.

The old woman stared wide-eyed at Yang Fan.

"Didn't we agree on five hundred spirit stones? Why are you offering something else to settle the debt?"

Yang Fan smiled and pointed to those things.

"Take a look. These things I'm giving you are definitely worth more than three hundred spirit stones."

"All things considered, you still made a profit."

"Of course, if you really don't want these supplies, I can give you spirit stones; you can choose for yourself."

Yang Fan looked at the old woman with a smile.

The old woman glanced at the things Yang Fan had given her, examined them for a moment, then smiled and nodded, accepting all the supplies.

Yang Fan didn't hesitate; he immediately put the straw sandals into his storage bag and turned to leave.

Seeing Yang Fan leave, the old woman revealed a smug smile.

These straw sandals are good to use, but they have some fatal flaws.

After Yang Fan buys the straw sandals, he will discover the problems with them after using them for a while.

But by then, it was too late for Yang Fan to return the goods.

The old woman pondered smugly.

On the other side, Yang Fan also revealed a slight smile.

He could certainly sense that there was something wrong with the straw sandals, but it didn't matter to Yang Fan.

Anyway, once it's put into the small cauldron and improved, these straw sandals will become better.

Therefore, Yang Fan didn't care at all.

And so, Yang Fan continued to wander around the market, searching the surrounding area.

After buying some monster meat that Xiao Hei liked, Yang Fan hurriedly returned to the vicinity of the Blood Fiend Sect.

He had previously hidden Little Black in his beast-taming bag.

During this time, he placed Xiao Hei in the deserted mountains of the Blood Fiend Sect.

Because Xiao Hei was honest, he was never discovered by others.

Taking advantage of his trip down the mountain, Yang Fan bought some monster meat and prepared some pills for Xiao Hei.

If I also improve Xiao Hei's strength, then I'll have another helper.

After going up the mountain, Yang Fan went straight to the Skinning Cave to see what was happening at Xue Wang's place.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Fan reached the Skinning Cave, he saw Xue Wang with a livid face.

Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it, could it be that the old Taoist priest failed?"

Upon seeing Yang Fan arrive, Xue Wang's face turned pale and then flushed.

Yang Fan didn't dare to say anything. He respectfully stepped forward and handed over all the supplies he had bought to Xue Wang.

After glancing at Xue Wang, Yang Fan really wanted to ask if he could leave Xue Ming.

But seeing Xue Wang's incredibly foul-smelling face, he obediently lowered his head and stopped talking.

Then he silently walked toward the skinning hole, intending to skin her.

Xue Wang waved his hand.

"Alright, kid, you don't need to work here today."

"Go back to your cave and rest first. Come back tomorrow to skin them."
