After Tian Xiaoding and his family came to Huiye City, they met an old man on the street, claiming to sell their family's ancestral treasures.

However, when the old man opened the tattered wooden box containing the ancestral treasure, what greeted everyone's eyes was a rotten brick of earthy yellow.

Moreover, when Xiao Ding asked about the price, the old man said that he would sell one million blue low-grade spirit stones.

Among the surrounding melon-eating people, there are also many who have just come over, and when they heard this price, they exploded all of a sudden. They all accused the old man of being a liar and was simply robbing.

Although the old man looked ashamed, he did not let go.

Xiao Ding knew that he was willing to sell this ancestral treasure in the family so that his youngest son could enter the Kaguya Sect as an official disciple.

As for whether this rotten brick is worth a million blue lower grade spirit stones, Xiao Ding has no way of knowing. Because, even if he probed the brick through his divine sense, he didn't find out what it was.

However, Xiao Ding still bargained and said, "So much? Can the price be less? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It can't be missing, the Huiye Sect recruits unqualified disciples, and it is to collect these spirit stones, and I don't want more from you at all." ”

Xiao Ding lowered his head and looked carefully at the rotten bricks in the wooden box, but still did not see any clues.

Although his instinct told him that he should keep this thing, after all, it was a million spirit stones, and in any case, it was not a small amount. Even if Xiao Ding is not bad for money, his spirit stone is not blown by the wind. If your intuition is skewed, then isn't you wronged?

Therefore, the most important thing at present is whether you can see some clues of this brick. If you can find any clues, then you will be willing to take out a million spirit stones yourself.

If you can't see anything, do you buy it or not?

Xiao Ding frowned, hesitating in his heart.

Zhang Xiaodie, who was standing beside him, asked puzzledly: "Xianggong, how can this rotten brick be worth a million spirit stones?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and replied contemplatively, "Maybe it's really a rare treasure?" ”

Ouyang Qing pouted and said, "Anyway, I don't see anything special about it." ”

Sister Mei also nodded in agreement and said, "We didn't see it either. ”

Chu Changtai said: "Brother Tian, this old man may really be a charlatan, he casually took a rotten brick and came out, insisting that it was his heirloom. ”

Xiao Ding said silently: "Actually, I don't see what the mystery is in his rotten brick......

The old man on the other side sighed and said, "Alas......, it's a pity that my family's ancestral teachings don't clearly explain what this treasure does......

Chu Changtai persuaded: "Brother Tian, I'll forget it, don't buy it." Since we can't see what kind of treasure this brick is, even if we buy it, we won't use it. ”

Zhang Xiaodie also said: "Yes, Xianggong, since you can't see what kind of treasure this is, then let's not buy it, and save yourself from being deceived." ”

Xiao Ding listened to the persuasion of several people, lowered his head and thought for a while, but still said, "Okay, this rotten brick, I want it." ”

When the old man on the other side heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll help you put it away." ”

After speaking, he immediately reached out and covered the lid of the wooden box, and then held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to Xiao Ding.

While Xiao Ding took the wooden box, he also took out a million blue low-grade spirit stones of various colors, put them into a smaller storage bag, and handed the storage bag to the old man.

Originally, Xiao Ding's own spirit stone had already been almost spent when he purchased the materials for refining magic clothes last time and when he used the intercity teleportation array.

However, recently, Xiao Ding has obtained the storage bags and rings of those Jindan monks in Tiansha City, as well as the ring of one of the twin brothers of the Blood Sword Gate, which has a large number of spirit stones of various colors, especially the ring of Li Zhikun, the son of the city lord of Tiansha City, and one of the twin brothers of the Blood Sword Gate, which contain a large number of spirit stones.

Although Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie also took some of them, most of them are still here in Xiaoding.

After the old man took the storage bag in Xiao Ding's hand, he said with a sad face: "This little brother, I am not a cultivator, I can't check whether the spirit stones in this bag are enough, shall we go to the City Lord's Mansion?" ”

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that on the Tiankun Star, ordinary residents had not cultivated and could not use the storage space through their divine sense like a monk. When they buy items, if the number of spirit stones traded is small, it doesn't matter, they can be counted. However, if the number of spirit stones traded is huge, then it will be impossible to count.

For example, Xiao Ding took out millions of spirit stones at once, and if all of them were taken out of the storage bag, they could all be piled up in an entire yard. With such a huge amount of spirit stones, how could ordinary residents be able to count them?

Therefore, in order to ensure that ordinary people are not deceived by monks in normal transactions. In almost every city, there will be such a city rule, that is: when it comes to a huge transaction, if there are residents who are not sure of the number, they can go to the city lord's mansion and ask the city lord to help verify it.

With the City Lord's Mansion coming forward, it is equivalent to having an official verification, and ordinary residents will have a bottom in their hearts, and they don't have to worry about being deceived by cultivators.

Xiao Ding looked at the sky, and saw that it was about to get dark, although he was very reluctant to go to the city lord's mansion, but when he saw the old man's earnest eyes and his thin figure, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: That's it, an ordinary mortal, for the sake of his son, it's not easy, just go with him.

So, Xiao Ding had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”

Then, the group walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The surrounding melon-eating masses saw that Xiao Ding really bought the rotten brick, and they all talked about it, secretly saying that Xiao Ding was too stupid, and he would be fooled by such an obvious scam. also said that the old man was rich, and he relied on a rotten brick to exchange for so many spirit stones, which is simply getting rich overnight......

Xiao Ding didn't care what everyone else was talking about, and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion with the old man.

The City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion was enjoying dinner at this time, when suddenly a gatekeeper came to report that there were ordinary residents who wanted to come to verify the number of spirit stones.

The city lord didn't bother to bother with this, so he waved his hand at one of his disciples and said, "Go and help them take a look." ”

The disciple walked out after answering, and saw the old man selling bricks at a glance, he hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wang, why are you here?" ”

The old man who sold bricks looked at it, and it turned out that the young man who came out was the friend of the Kaguya Sect that his youngest son had befriended. So, he gave a general explanation of the sale of family heirlooms, and asked the disciple to help see if the storage bag in his hand contained a million blue low-grade spirit stones.

The disciple was friends with the old man's youngest son, and naturally the old man was a trustworthy person, so he took the storage bag in the old man's hand and checked it, and said, "That's right, although the spirit stones in this are not all blue, their total value is still equivalent to the value of one million blue lower-grade spirit stones. ”

After saying that, he handed the storage bag to the old man again.

The old man didn't immediately take over the storage bag, but said, "These spirit stones are exactly what I raised for my son to join your sect, so put them there for you." With so many spirit stones, it would not be safe if it was placed on me. As for my son joining your faction, then I leave it to you......"

The old man spoke very politely, and his expression when he spoke could not help but be flattering.

When the disciple saw that the old man trusted him so much, he was no longer polite, but took the spirit stone into his arms and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, our sect has clear regulations, and those who don't meet the requirements, if you want to join our sect, you must take out a million blue lower grade spirit stones." Otherwise, it will not be able to be enrolled. Of course, as long as the spirit stone is in place, no matter what kind of heavenly root your son is, he can also be accepted as an official disciple. As for how far you can cultivate in the end, it depends on your own efforts. ”

Xiao Ding saw that the two of them were chatting about family life, he hurriedly interrupted and said: "This, old man, since there is no problem with the bag of spirit stones, then, I still have something to do, so I will take the first step, you two talk slowly......

The old man nodded and said a few polite words to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding took the others and left the City Lord's Mansion together.

It's getting late, he still needs to find an inn to live in, where can he have time to listen to other people's chatter?

Wait until you get some distance. Ouyang Qing suddenly asked, "Husband, didn't you really see the secret of that rotten brick?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any clues yet. ”

Ouyang Qing said angrily: "I didn't see it, so why do you still buy it?" ”

Xiao Ding replied honestly: "I think there must be some secrets hidden in this rotten brick, but we haven't found it yet." ”

Ouyang Qing sneered: "You're just guessing. ”

Xiao Ding said firmly: "Then let's wait and see." ”

While they were talking, several people had already arrived at the door of an inn.

Xiao Ding said, "Let's stay here tonight." ”

There was no objection to the people, and they all walked towards the inn together.

As soon as I walked into the lobby on the first floor of the inn. Xiao Ding saw a middle-aged couple and a teenage child standing at the counter.

Xiao Ding sighed, and couldn't help whispering: "It's really a coincidence, I actually met an acquaintance here again!" ”
