Chapter 22: Gu Kun Pawnshop
The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled in the courtyard, and through the wooden lattice of the window, in the neat room, casting golden shadows, and the sound of the rope was constantly coming from the room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Suddenly, the door opened, and a young figure appeared in the doorway, holding a delicate small box in his hand.
As if he had suddenly thought of something, the figure slipped back into the room, and when he reappeared, he had already put on a thick black robe on his body, covering up his sturdy body, and the small box in his hand was also missing at this time.
Originally, he was going to go directly to the medicine market with the Heavenly Frost Ice Fruit, but when he considered that this Cold Ice Fruit was very valuable, it would inevitably attract some people's prying eyes, which would lead to some unnecessary trouble, he chose to put on a big black robe that could isolate some combat power perception, and put the Cold Ice Fruit in it, which could also avoid some trouble.
After all, this was the first time he had gone to the medicine market alone, and he would inevitably feel a little nervous......
The scale of the medicine market in Tongshan County is not large, but due to the attractiveness of the goods sold in it, the people who usually mingle in the medicine market can be described as mixed, and there are even some people who lurk in the medicine market all day long, specializing in those cheats and abductions, stealing chickens and dogs, therefore, Wei Tian's caution has a certain reason.
The medicine market was not far from the Wei family, and in just a few quarters of an hour, the young man wrapped in a black robe crossed several villages and approached the vicinity of the medicine market.
......
"It's so lively here..."
Looking at the crowded medicine market and the endless stream of various medicine stalls around him, Wei Tian couldn't help but nodded, and sighed in his heart, although the area of this medicine market is not as high as that shop street, but the density of people in it is the same as that shop street, and this, to a certain extent, also reflects the high degree of importance that the elixir is valued in this Heavenly War Continent.
His eyes kept sweeping around the medicine stalls he passed by, and he found that the roadside stalls were selling some low-quality elixirs, although he had never seen what the Qingshen Leaf looked like, but the leaf-shaped elixirs he saw, the energy fluctuations emitted on them, should be lower than the Qingshen Leaf.
"Damn, this thing is really hard to find."
After wasting time and effort, but searching for no result, Wei Tian was also a little tired and helpless, walked to the shade of the street corner, stopped, and prepared to rest for a while.
Took out the kettle and poured a sip of water, wiped his lips that were still a little dry, and thought about how to find the Qingshen leaf next, at this time, a voice from the side attracted his ears.
"I heard that Gu Kun pawnshop has recently come to a batch of good goods, all of which are rare elixirs, what's the matter, don't you go and take a look?"
"Haha, you're really joking, I'm a small businessman, how can I have the money to resell that kind of good medicine......"
Moving his gaze to the source of the voice, two people who seemed to be in the elixir business were talking and laughing, the corners of Wei Tian's mouth raised slightly, and he took a few steps forward and came to the two people.
"These two brothers, I don't know where the Gukun pawnshop you just talked about is located?"
Out of caution, Wei Tian deliberately lowered his voice a lot, so that he looked older, so as not to arouse suspicion, he didn't want to see the Qingshen Ye and something went wrong halfway, so when talking to strangers, he was also very wary in his heart.
"This friend, I guess you don't come to the medicine market often, you don't even know about Gu Kun's pawnshop, heh, you go down the street on the right, you can see that their signboard is big." Hearing Wei Tian's question, the two looked at each other and smiled, and one of them replied, and from that tone, he didn't feel any malice.
"Thank you, brother."
Listening to the man's answer, Wei Tian arched his hand to him, replied with a slight thanksgiving, and then turned to the right as the man said, and walked towards the depths of the long street.
......
I don't know how long he walked in the crowded crowd, Wei Tian's footsteps slowly stopped, and his eyes were firmly fixed on a huge gold-plated signboard that appeared in front of him.
"Is this the Gu Kun pawnshop, hehe, it looks really rich."
Sighing slightly in his heart, he nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth lifted a trace of satisfaction.
"Look at the scale of this pawnshop, you should be able to find that Qingshen Ye here."
He pulled the black robe on his body so that it was tightly attached to him, and after looking to the sides for a while, he walked straight into the door of the Gu Kun pawnshop.
To his surprise, although the signboard outside the shop was quite luxurious, the interior of the pawnshop was very simple, with a few quaint green lamps hanging on the roof, exuding a soft shimmer, the gray-black stone floor, wiped spotlessly, and a few wooden tables and chairs placed on the side, reflecting a sense of age, and in its interior, there were several silver-white bordered windows, in which sat several old men, all of whom were ready to greet every customer who entered the store with enthusiastic eyes.
Randomly selected a window, Wei Tian lowered his head, and let the black robe cover most of his face, although in this pawnshop, it was much safer than outside, but he did not have the slightest luck, after all, it is the wisest to be safe.
"Hehe, this friend, may I ask what you need, we can use this as a thing, and there are also many elixirs and other goods for sale, you might as well ask at will."
Seeing that business was coming, the old man's face was even more fiery, and he hurriedly asked.
Carefully taking out the delicate locket from the black robe, Wei Tian slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on the counter in front of the old man, and did not speak, just lightly tapped the locket with his fingers.
The old man also immediately realized what he meant, and immediately took out a pair of gloves that seemed to be made of white silk, put them on his hand, and then slowly opened the small box......
"Could it be this?"
......
After a while, the old man slowly raised his head, and there was a trace of inexplicable surprise in his eyes when he looked at Wei Tian.
"Hehe, this is an excellent quality Heavenly Frost Ice Fruit, I don't know if Your Excellency wants to use it directly as a war spirit coin, or will it be sold in our store?"
Obviously, the old man also saw that the cold ice fruit in front of him was very valuable, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely not take it out easily, but the black-robed man in front of him was planning to sell this rare treasure, which had to make people feel a little puzzled.
After all, judging from the old man's experience, in the medicine market, a person who can have this kind of skill is either rich or a thief, but because Wei Tian hid himself in the black robe, the former could not detect his identity, so, after a short period of surprise, the old man simply stopped doubting, but the tone of talking to Wei Tian unconsciously became a little respectful.
Perhaps he would never have imagined that what was hidden under the black robe in front of him was nothing more than a young man who was less than twenty years old......
"Yes, I have some eyesight, but I wonder if I can exchange this cold ice fruit with one of the other elixirs in your store?"
During the conversation, Wei Tian still tried his best to lower his voice, if he was exposed at this critical moment, maybe the other party would suspect that he, a hairy boy, had stolen the cold ice fruit from somewhere, and at that time, it would not only make him spend half a day explaining, but also waste his precious time looking for Qingshen Ye, which he didn't want to see.
"Oh? Then I wonder what elixir your Excellency wants to exchange? ”
Listening to Wei Tian's words, the old man raised his eyebrows and asked as if he was very interested.
"I don't know if you guys have an elixir called Qingshen Leaf?" Wei Tian asked in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll go check it out in the storeroom, and please wait here for a while."
Knowing the elixir that Wei Tian wanted to change, the old man nodded, turned around and entered a room behind him.
It didn't take long for the old man to walk out of it and reappear in front of Wei Tian, and with him appeared a small wooden box with a slender shape and a slight pattern engraved on it.
"Your Excellency came just in time this time, among the elixirs that you came last time, there happened to be a Qingshen Leaf, are you sure you want to exchange this Heavenly Frost Ice Fruit for this Qingshen Leaf?"
The old man asked, slowly placing the small wooden box on the counter, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and said again, "Of course, there is one more thing, although the price of your frost ice fruit is not low, it is still the slightest difference compared to Shangqing Shenye, so if you want to exchange, you still need to make up the difference between the two." ”
Hearing this, Wei Tian's heart suddenly tightened, originally in his opinion, although this Qingshen Leaf is rare, it should be almost the same as the price of the Heavenly Frost Ice Fruit, but he didn't think about it, he actually needs to make up the difference, which is undoubtedly very embarrassing for him who has just taken most of his assets to buy Blue Yao Stone, and is a little shy in his pocket.
"How much?"
Of course, in front of this old man, he couldn't expose himself, and immediately asked calmly, anyway, the big deal is that he doesn't want to change it, and he will find a way to get it in the future.
It's just that in that case, the time he is away from becoming a first-order Intent Warrior will be delayed a lot, which is not good news for him who urgently needs to improve his strength, so when he asked this sentence, he was also very nervous.
"Hehe, it's not much, just make up six hundred battle spirit coins."
The old man smiled faintly and said softly.
"Hoo ......"
After hearing this answer, Wei Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was also rejoicing in his wit.
"Fortunately, I had a heart before going out and brought this bit of inventory with me, otherwise, I would really be suffocated to death by this mere six hundred battle spirit coins today."
After praising himself a little, he immediately calmed down and did not show it, and then, calmly took out a small cloth bag from the black robe, and did not say anything, but gently placed it next to the wooden box containing the Qingshen leaf.
When the old man saw Wei Tian's movements, he took off his gloves, immediately opened the cloth bag, and after a little counting, he also nodded, and carefully put away the Tianshuang Cold Ice Fruit on the side, and a little joy appeared on the old face.
"Thank you for visiting Gukun Pawnshop, if you need anything in the future, just come here and ask."
After listening to the old man's polite words, Wei Tian nodded casually, silently stuffed the long wooden box into his arms, and after hugging the old man's fists, he didn't stay anymore and quickly left here.
The moment he got this Qingshen Leaf, although he was restrained by himself, he was still extremely excited in his heart, because he understood that the distance between himself and that first-order Intent Warrior was a big step forward.
