Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Yao Chenmei responded angrily to his disciple's ignorant inquiry.

(Are you dreaming? Can you sell your strange fire in a bottle?)

Strange fire is something that was born between heaven and earth. Maybe someone can really seal up the strange fire, but even the lowest level of strange fire cannot be preserved in a small bottle. If the bottle is not burned, it cannot be called strange fire.

(So ​​which one is it?)

(That's just the fire of the beast fire, just like your purple fire.) Yao Chen glanced at the peach-colored flame and immediately identified the source of the fire. (That beast fire is called Peach Blossom Fire, which was born from the body of the fifth-level magic beast Kuimu Wolf. Its level is not much different from the purple fire in your body, but it is very docile and not so violent. Of course, the temperature and destructive power are far less than that of the purple fire.)

(Well, can this peach blossom fire improve the level of Burning Technique?)

Xiao Yan asked this. He had always kept in mind the matter of improving the level of the Burning Art. After all, this was an important indicator for Yao Chen's resurrection. Even if it was just to improve it by one level, Xiao Yan would find a way to do it.

However, Yao Chen's answer made Xiao Yan somewhat disappointed.

(It shouldn't work. The energy gap between beast fire and alien fire is huge. Even if you absorbed the purple fire, it would only upgrade the Burning Art from the low yellow level to the middle yellow level. Not to mention that the Burning Art has now been upgraded to the middle black level. The energy of the peach blossom fire is probably not enough to fill the gaps in the Burning Art. It's not worth buying it.)

Yao Chen said this, paused, and continued.

(What's more, the peach blossom fire is only in shape. The fire has been broken into pieces and will soon completely dissipate. If someone can successfully absorb this thing into the body and transform it successfully, then we really admire it.)

As soon as Yao Chen finished speaking, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately looked towards Xiao Yan.

Sure enough, after hearing what she just said, Xiao Yan's brows were tightly furrowed.

For Xiao Yan, bargaining was normal in matters of buying and selling, just like when Xiao Yixian helped him sell the pills just now, she also raised the price, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to sell them for that much money.

But the prerequisite is that her medicine really has those effects. Although Xiao Yixian raised the price, she knew Xiao Yan's character well and did not exaggerate the effects. She told the customers everything. Since those customers could accept it and were willing to pay, everyone was naturally happy.

However, the peach blossom fire displayed by the stall owner had no logo and was completely useless. It was obviously an attempt to cheat people.

Xiao Yan knew that he was meddling in other people's business, but he couldn't stand seeing this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan let go of Qing Lin's hand, and walked towards the stall under the puzzled gazes of Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian, while Yao Chen in the ring slapped him in the face.

You said that we clearly know what kind of personality our disciple has, so why should we say more about it?

Just as Xiao Yan walked towards the stall, another figure arrived in front of the stall first.

She was a silver-haired girl with a cool and pretty face and a slightly unrefined figure. She stared at the peach blossom fire on the stall. The desire in her eyes was obvious at a glance. In the eyes of the stall owner, she was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

"My lovely lady, are you interested in this peach blossom fire?"

The silver-haired girl nodded slightly, pointed at the peach blossom fire, and slowly opened her mouth, asking in a cold voice.

"how much is this?"

"I don't want money." The stall owner waved his hand lightly, grinning, "I just need a fourth-grade prescription with clear traces of soul."

Just need a fourth-grade prescription with clear soul traces?

Hearing what he said, the stall owners nearby couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The stall owners around here have been in this business for many years, so they could naturally see the signs of the peach blossom fire at a glance, and they couldn't help but secretly complain about the stall owners.

You really dare to ask for a fourth-grade prescription with clear traces of the soul. It would take a solid fourth-grade alchemist almost half a year to produce a volume. Not to mention whether your peach blossom fire is incomplete, even if it is a peach blossom fire. It's really fine, and definitely not worth the price.

This is not only cruel, it is simply heartless! And you deceived this delicate and naive little girl in front of you, how could you say such a thing!

However, the stall owner next to him complained in his heart but did not speak up and meddle in other people's business.

As for business, although the stall owner was unscrupulous, in their opinion, being cheated when buying things was purely what they deserved. Besides, they had no relatives or friends with the silver-haired girl, and they had no obligation to offend others for her. They just prayed in their hearts that the silver-haired girl could notice the problem of peach blossom fire.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

Perhaps it was because she really had limited vision, or perhaps her attention was completely attracted by the Peach Blossom Fire, the silver-haired girl did not notice that there was anything wrong with the Peach Blossom Fire. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a scroll from her ring.

"This is the fourth-grade pill recipe you asked for, with clear soul traces."

As she spoke, the silver-haired girl handed the scroll over, and the stall owners around her shook their heads helplessly when they saw this scene.

It seems that this girl has suffered a great loss. I hope she will learn her lesson after being cheated this time and not be slaughtered like a fat sheep next time.

When the stall owner saw the scroll handed over by the silver-haired girl, his eyes were immediately filled with joy. He had put out the Peach Blossom Fire just to try his luck without any hope, but he didn't expect to actually meet such a pure sucker!

The stall owner stood up, with greed in his eyes, and reached out to the scroll handed to him by the silver-haired girl.

Just as the stall owner's hand was about to touch the scroll, a hand suddenly came in from the side, blocking the stall owner's hand and the scroll, causing the stall owner to pause suddenly and look at the owner of the hand.

With a sharp gaze and a righteous face, who else could it be but Xiao Yan?

The silver-haired girl was stunned when she saw Xiao Yan suddenly interrupting, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand what this young man, whom she had never met before, was trying to do by suddenly attacking her.

Xiao Yan did not explain anything to the silver-haired girl. He just looked at the stall owner and whispered.

"Boss, before the transaction, could you please give this lady a detailed introduction to the Peach Blossom Fire?"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, the stall owner's face instantly turned ugly, and then he heard Xiao Yan's next words.

"There's no need to explain its value. In a transaction, one party is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. No matter whether it's worth the price you said, as long as the other party agrees, the transaction can be established."

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said lightly.

"But the premise is that you don't cheat on the goods you are buying and selling."

Chapter 231 Nosy

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the silver-haired girl was stunned at first, and then her cold face changed slightly. She immediately took back the scroll she had handed over, and looked at the stall owner with a wary look.

She was just naive, not stupid. She understood Xiao Yan's words so well. If she still hadn't figured out that there was something wrong with the Peach Blossom Fire, then she really shouldn't go out.

Seeing that the huge bargain that was about to be in his grasp was ruined by Xiao Yan, the stall owner's face instantly darkened. He stared at Xiao Yan, his tone also somewhat exasperated.

"Who are you to her?!"

"I didn't know her at all. I was just passing by."

Xiao Yan's honest response, neither humble nor arrogant, made the stall owner even more angry.

You don't know her? Then why are you here to join in the fun?

"Mind your own business! What does this have to do with you?!"

The stall owner stared at Xiao Yan and questioned him, his eyes looking as if he wanted to eat Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was not afraid at all by the look in the stall owner's eyes, and answered softly.

"To put it mildly, I don't want the people I care about to be deceived by something like this, so the fewer people who deceive, the better." Xiao Yan stroked his wrist gently, frowning tightly. "To put it seriously, if I don't care about this today, I will think about it in the future and despise myself for standing by and watching, and I will think that I didn't follow my own righteous path at this time."

"Perhaps this is just a trivial matter in the eyes of others, but in my opinion, if I can ignore such a trivial matter, then won't I be able to find a bunch of high-sounding excuses when I face big things in the future?"

"So I'll take care of this matter today."

Xiao Yan's speech shocked everyone present.

Good fellow! They had seen someone meddling in other people’s business before, but this was the first time they had seen someone meddling in other people’s business in such a righteous way!

But if you think about it carefully, Xiao Yan's meddling is indeed righteous.

Cheating is wrong in itself, let alone using an incomplete fire to trick a little girl into giving him the fourth-grade elixir recipe. There is no way to complain about this.

When Xiao Yixian, who was following behind with Qing Lin, heard what Xiao Yan said, she became speechless.

Judging from the situation, even without Xiao Yan's explanation, Little Medical Fairy could guess what was going on.

Xiao Yan, you really are such a jerk.

Xiao Yixian nodded with a headache, then sighed softly, looking at Xiao Yan's profile with a helpless smile.

There is no way. If he didn’t see it, it would be fine. But since he saw it, if he doesn’t care, he would not be Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan's words, the stall owner gradually came back to his senses, his expression became somewhat ferocious, and he glared at Xiao Yan fiercely.

"So you have to offend me for a total stranger?"

"My original intention was not to offend you, let alone to destroy your business." Xiao Yan responded in a serious voice, looking at the peach blossom fire, "It's very simple. You just need to tell this lady the actual situation of the peach blossom fire. If she is still willing to exchange it, let alone the fourth-grade pill formula, even if it is a fifth-grade or sixth-grade pill formula, it is her personal wish, and I will never stop her."

Xiao Yan's words were so powerful that the stall owner was speechless, but he was already cursing Xiao Yan in his heart.

What are you talking about? If I really tell this little girl the details of this peach blossom fire, it’s impossible for her to be willing to exchange it for a fourth-grade pill recipe! Not to mention a fifth or sixth-grade pill, unless she’s been kicked in the head by a donkey!!!

Originally, the Peach Blossom Fire Seed was not worth a fourth-grade pill recipe, and this was an incomplete Peach Blossom Fire Seed. Not to mention selling it, I guess no one would want it even if I gave it away!

These words continued to echo in the stall owner's mind.

But can he say it?

he can not.

He was not in the right in this matter. It was true that Xiao Yan was meddling in other people's business, but Xiao Yan did nothing wrong. He was the one who cheated others. How could he have the nerve to scold Xiao Yan, a kind-hearted person who meddled in other people's business?

The stall owner glared at Xiao Yan fiercely. He knew what the Peach Blossom Fire Seed looked like, but naturally he couldn't explain it.

If he wanted to take action, regardless of whether he could defeat Xiao Yan, he would be in trouble if he took action.

Immediately, the stall owner packed up all the things on his counter and left a message for Xiao Yan.

"Boy, I admit defeat today!"

After saying this, the stall owner left the market dejectedly. Xiao Yan looked at the stall owner's receding back, wanting to reach out and say something, but finally sighed helplessly.

It is naturally easy to stop people who deceive and cheat.

But it is very difficult to change a deceitful and deceitful person.

Looking at the stall owner's expression when he left, he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all and he would probably do the same thing in the future.

However, for such people, Xiao Yan really couldn't think of any way to change them.

Just stopping the behavior but failing to change their hearts seems to be helpful, but not that useful.

Or maybe, I am too arrogant and even want to change the heart of such a person.

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.

The right path for myself is still far away.

"Thank you."

At this time, a cold voice came into Xiao Yan's ears. Xiao Yan slightly side-glanced and saw the silver-haired girl facing him with gratitude in her eyes.

In response, Xiao Yan simply waved his hand.

"You're welcome. I'm just doing this for myself."

That’s right, Xiao Yan was only doing it for himself. Even if the silver-haired girl wasn’t the one being deceived today, he would still stand up.

Fundamentally, he did this just to stick to his own righteous path.

When she saw the silver-haired girl talking to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian's alarm suddenly rang out. She immediately pulled Qing Lin to Xiao Yan's side, and seemed to get close to Xiao Yan unintentionally, showing that she and Xiao Yan were very intimate. She looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"Xiao Yan, is the matter resolved?"

"It's settled now."

Xiao Yan scratched his face lightly, looking a little displeased.

Although the silver-haired girl was prevented from being deceived, the stall owner clearly had no remorse, which was not a perfect solution in Xiao Yan's opinion.

All I can say is that this world is not too harsh on people like stall owners, which is why they can get by in this way.

If everyone can stand up and despise people like stall owners in the future, and everyone can stand up to stop him when he is cheating, then he will naturally not do that.

Sure enough, if we want to change the world, we can only start with the overall environment. As long as the environment does not change, no matter how much we say, it will be useless.

"Let's go. There's probably nothing to buy here."

Xiao Yan chuckled at Xiao Yixian, who also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, we didn’t have to continue the in-depth communication.

Soon, when the three were about to leave, the voice of the silver-haired girl suddenly rang out, causing Xiao Yixian's heart to skip a beat.

"Well, if you don't mind, I can take you to another store. Maybe there's something you want there."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan turned slightly and looked at the silver-haired girl with a questioning raised eyebrow, "Another store?"

"Ah."

The silver-haired girl nodded and explained softly.

"This is just an ordinary trading market. In fact, the things sold here can basically be found in the auction house. The other market is only accessible to high-level alchemists who have passed the alchemist certification. The things traded there are generally much rarer than here."

"Oh~ I see." Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, then frowned slightly, "But only high-level alchemists can enter. I'm only a third-level alchemist, so I shouldn't be qualified, right?"

In Xiao Yan's opinion, only alchemists above the fourth rank can be called high-level alchemists. However, this is not just Xiao Yan's opinion. Almost everyone in the Jia Ma Empire thinks so.
