Volume 1 Flying in the Sky Chapter 17 Demon Core, I'm Hungry
I got off the boat, walked for ten minutes, and entered the black market.
There are large patches of rain cloths in the black market, and under the rain cloths, there are flint dehumidification and golden stone lighting everywhere, so that the inside of the black market is still dry and bright.
Gu Xin raised his eyes at the entrance, and when he arrived here, it was a lot of people, and there were still people in the black market!
Because the predecessor of the black market was the former site of the Emerald Star Auction House, the overall appearance is relatively regular, with several winding streets intersecting each other, and a large arc-shaped main road is surrounded by the outermost part. Gu Xin traveled along the main road, trying to buy a good treasure with twenty-five taels of silver in his hand.
"Come and see! Check it out! The demon cow raised by my master gave birth to new cubs, and the result was a big mutation! Turned into a mythical beast! Just waiting for someone to take it away! ”
"Fifty taels of black lotus leaves, a good treasure to assist in refining the wood demon core!"
"Barter, the essence slurry of the fire molten pool, exchange for the same value of the water system Yuan Xin quenching Yuan Crystal!"
Gu Xin paused for a moment in front of the black lotus leaf stall. It's not that I found a new treasure, but I heard the words 'wood magic core' shouted by the owner of the stall, and I had some related memories in my heart.
This magic core...... It is a treasure that has a chance to drop after the death of a monster. Just like Wu Xiu's Yuan Xin, it is the source of the power of the Demon Beast.
If martial cultivation refines the demon core, he can improve the purity of his Yuan Xin power and refine and strengthen his body.
Even some lucky people, when refining the demon core, can still plunder the bloodline power of that demonic beast before its death, or powerful skills!
In short, the Demon Core is simply a precious treasure for martial arts cultivation to improve their strength and even enhance their martial arts talent and comprehension!
At the same time, there are two kinds of beast cores and crystal cores corresponding to the magic core.
The beast core is very similar to the demon core, refining it can also improve the strength of martial cultivation and temper the physique of martial cultivation. The difference is that the magic core is produced from the Demon Beast, and the beast core is produced from the Yuan Beast, that is, the beast. The quality of the beast core is too low compared to the magic core, and it is almost impossible for a martial artist to plunder the bloodline power or skills of the primordial beast during his lifetime when refining.
As for the final crystal nucleus, it was completely something that Wu Xiu had made up himself, and its quality was lower than that of the beast core, which was a regular consumable.
Gu Xin recalled the past, he had grown so big, not to mention the magic core, even the beast core, he had never used it. It's not that his family can't afford it, it's just that his own talent in martial arts is too poor and his strength is too low, so he can't afford to accept this precious thing......
In the past, when the rainbow was still there, it often used some beast cores, and occasionally bought a few magic cores to refine.
"The white-haired water demon of Baoyun River who killed Huahong should be a demonic beast." Gu Xin thought. In the future, I will definitely have to pull the white-haired water demon out of the Baoyun River, take out its magic core, and let Hua Honglian take revenge!
Walking past the stalls selling black lotus leaves, Gu Xin continued to visit the black market.
What treasures can be discovered, Gu Xin is also looking forward to it.
"The blood of a thousand ants! Soak in water to boost your strength! ”
"The moonflowers and sunflowers of the best quality in Lingyang Valley only cost one or two silvers! Send a two-piece set of vases and flower pots! ”
"The fire-based crystal core was exchanged for the acquisition of the fire-type beast core and the magic core at a high price."
"First-order wood-based polycrystalline disks, bartering for things, one polycrystalline disk can be exchanged for three first-level magic cores."
Gu Xin watched and walked. Finally, he stopped in front of a stall sitting on the floor.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man, not a disciple of the Sword Academy. He didn't shout either, and carried a wooden sign in crooked handwriting, which read: "King of Boxing." Fifty first-order crystal nuclei and I draw them once. There is no limit to the type of crystal nucleus, and if you win the goods on the stall, you can take away two pieces. ”
The goods on the stall included small yuan beasts bundled up, magic cores, magic weapons, elixir spirit grass, and elixirs wrapped in oily paper...... There are also a lot of strange things that Gu Xin doesn't know.
"It's kind of interesting." Gu Xin squatted down, there was actually a stall in the black market!
"Huh, punching? What a stroke? Gu Xin asked.
The middle-aged man's beard was unkempt, and he raised his eyes when he heard the words, "Fifty crystal nuclei." ”
Gu Xin stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, "Do you know who I am?" I don't have a crystal nucleus with me, how about I give you an IOU? ”
The middle-aged man closed his eyes and spat out words from the cracks in his mouth.
"Get out."
Gu Xin was not annoyed, and said with perseverance: "Then I'll give you five taels of silver, let's draw it once, what's the matter?" ”
The middle-aged man still closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth gradually sneered, "Can you buy fifty crystal nuclei for one or two silver?" ”
"Not really."
"Get out."
Gu Xin's eyes swept over the various goods on the middle-aged man's stall, patted his buttocks, and stood up helplessly. "Hey, it seems that we don't have fate."
Among the various goods of this middle-aged man, most of them were ordinary, and only one made Gu Xin a little interested. It was a fire-type demon core, like a square crystal, with an eye-like crimson pattern in the middle.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a crystal nucleus, and the middle-aged man refuses to take the silver to fight with him, so he can only miss it.
Speaking of which, Gu Xin had been shopping in the black market for more than an hour, and he hadn't bought anything except the Thunder Crying Stone that he got before he first entered the black market!
Gu Xin had a delusion, he might not have received the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and the Thunder Crying Stone was really just a lucky accident? Otherwise, why didn't you buy anything for more than an hour?
The only fire-type magic core with an eye-shaped pattern that catches its eye also has to be won by a crystal nucleus, and silver can't buy it!
Or. Let's go back.
It's not too early, it's time for dinner. As the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry...... Just as Gu Xin wanted to go home, there was a sudden commotion in the distance of the black market.
Gu Xin turned around to look over, and the middle-aged man who was drawing a boxing stall next to him also opened his eyes and looked over.
I saw that along the main road of the black market, a hundred and ten meters away from Gu Xin, suddenly, a figure wearing a long gray and black cloak and a scarlet mask rushed out!
That man is dressed like this, fierce and vicious, and at first glance, he is not here to buy and sell things on the black market!
He used brute force to knock away the pedestrians on the black market, and rushed straight in the direction of Gu Xin!
Gu Xin's eyes widened, and he was about to hide to the side.
Unexpectedly, this person seemed to be aiming at Gu Xin, and when he saw that Gu Wang had just flashed to the left, he immediately rushed to the left, not giving Gu Xin a chance to dodge and give way!
"This man is coming at me?" This thought flashed through Gu Xin's mind in an instant. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly ignited the remaining yang shou of his body, and then collided head-on with the stranger wearing the scarlet mask!
"How daring, you dare to sneak attack me...... Well? ”
"She's ...... Woman? ”
In the arms, the hypothetical sneak attack did not come. Gu Xin instead felt an indescribable softness unique to a girl's body.
Ning Youyan, who was wearing a scarlet and fierce mask, threw herself into Gu Xin's arms, and instantly took off her red mask, revealing a face with bright eyes and bright teeth.
"Someone's chasing me, help me stop! Thank you! ”
There was a suppressed voice, anxious, and extremely beautiful female voice in her arms. Gu Xin's spell to burn his body Yang Shou was terminated in an instant, and his gaze swept in the direction where the girl had come from, and he immediately saw the uphill farther away, and several suspicious people were slowly approaching this side!
"Are you a good person or a bad person?" Gu Xin asked.
Ning Youyan in her arms obviously didn't expect Gu Xin to ask her like this.
The girl said in a deep voice: "Good man! ”
Gu Xin nodded.
stretched out a hand and hugged Ning Youyan's thin waist.
"What do you want to do?!"
"Don't move!"
Gu Xin ripped off the gray-black cloak on the girl's body, wrapped the scarlet mask she took off with the cloak, and threw it into the prize pile of the middle-aged man next to him.
Then he quickly took off one of his outermost clothes, and put it on the girl, covering the red soft armor under the girl's gray and black cloak.
Gu Xin looked around coldly, unabashedly threatening the black market pedestrians around him who saw this scene.
"Lao Tzu is the Gu Xin of the Gu Mansion, and my father is the Gu Shupang of the Wupin River in Jiangzhou today! Today I took my woman out to visit the black market, you should know what you just saw and what you didn't see, right? ”
All the pedestrians in the black market were worried when they heard the sound.
What? This person is Gu Xin? In fact, some people have long recognized Gu Xin.
This is the well-known leader of Baoyun County, the second young master of the Gu family!
"I didn't see anything!"
"What do I see? I didn't see it? Who's talking? ”
"Hey! Brother Li, Brother Li over there, you wait for me, I suddenly have something to tell you! In an instant, the pedestrians of the black market dispersed, all pretending that nothing had just happened!
After all, they can't afford to provoke Gu Xin! This lord, father, the rivers and rivers in the six counties of Jiangzhou, are all under his control! It is a big official with real power in the five grades of the dynasty!
Gu Xin smiled with satisfaction.
did not shy away from hugging the girl in his arms tighter.
The girl's face quickly turned crimson, and she glared at Gu Xin viciously.
Gu Xin only said to her: "Now those who are chasing and killing you should not recognize you." Hey, you're my woman now, can you pretend to be a little bit better? Your chasers are coming right away! ”
Ning Youyan really wanted to break free from Gu Xin.
But the girl also saw that the mysterious people who had been following her for several days were already approaching this side, and as a last resort, she gritted her teeth and buried her head in Gu Xin's chest.
Gu Xin Shi Ran also pretended to be fine, and said to the middle-aged man who was drawing a fist stall next to him: "Hey, can I give you an IOU of fifty crystal nuclei now?" ”
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva, "Eh, five taels of silver...... Let's draw two? ”
"Okay." Gu Xin took out five taels of silver and handed it to him with a smile.
On the other hand, he also said: "I will take the IOU, and tomorrow I will have someone send you fifty crystal nuclei." Tell me about the rules of boxing? ”
“...... The rule is to compare the number of points of the punch, I will teach you, first ......"
Gu Xin hugged the girl with one hand, and with the other hand, the middle-aged man began to fight in the street.
A few suspicious people who were chasing the girl uphill from a distance noticed the movement here, and when they came, they only saw a teenager holding a shy girl with his head in his arms, regardless of the image of the fist.
A suspicious person in the lead glanced at Gu Xin and the girl from a distance, and said degradingly: "Young age, I ran here with a woman in my arms to make a fist." It is worthy of being a pimple corner place, and the folk customs are strong enough...... Walk. The man is probably out of the black market, so we'll go back and track it down again. ”
These suspicious people would never have thought that she was being held in the arms of the young man was the red-clothed man who had played a few of them around with his unique Shadow Yuan Heart in the past few days!
In the end, Gu Xin won with one punch.
even saw that the middle-aged man was full of disbelief, and let him do it again a few times. Gu Xin's all-win situation!
"Now that I've won, this core is mine. Fifty crystal nuclei, I'll find someone to bring it to you tomorrow. ”
"You can take two things." The middle-aged man lost his soul and said. It seems that his self-confidence in making a living was ruthlessly shattered by Gu Xin.
Gu Xin looked at the girl who was still burying her head in her arms. She buried her head and couldn't see her surroundings, not knowing that the mysterious people who were chasing her had gone away.
Gu Xin let go of her, pointed to the prize of the boxing stall and said, "I won the boxing, can I take two things, you pick one?" ”
Ning Youyan's face was crimson, and Gu Xin's clothes were still draped on her shoulders. She glanced at Gu Xin, squatted down, and picked up her mask and gray cloak from the stall.
By the way, he also took away one of the most valuable wood-based demon cores.
Ning Youyan took a deep breath and patted her chest.
The girl took off Gu Xin's clothes and returned the wooden demon core to Gu Xin along with her clothes, "Anyway, thank you today, Gu Xin!" My name is Ning Youyan! ”
"Alright, I'm leaving." Ning Youyan thanked him, turned around and wanted to leave.
Gu Xin grabbed her wrist, "Hey, you're just leaving?" ”
Ning Youyan was slightly cold, "What? ”
Gu Xin said: "You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"Questions?"
Gu Xin's eyes gradually sharpened, "You...... Is it the good guy or the bad guy? ”
Ning Youyan stared at Gu Xin, "What if I'm a good person, what if I'm a bad person." You are an ordinary person, you think you can control me? What did you just say, Daddy of the Five Grades? Haha, maybe you're bragging. Besides, I'm not afraid! Do you know that I am also a martial artist, and a very strong martial artist? ”
Gu Xin said: "You treat your life-saver with this attitude? ”
Ning Youyan was silent for a while.
"And what do you want?"
Gu Xin said: "I'm a person who likes to be nosy. I want to hear your story, for example, why did those people chase you just now? ”
Ning Youyan frowned, "I don't know!" ”
"You don't know?" Gu Xin looked at her.
Just those people ...... It's actually so powerful!
Gu Xinguang relied on his own eyesight and intuition to detect those mysterious people who were chasing and killing Ning Youyan, which was very unusual!
"Someone is chasing you, you don't even know why you're being hunted down, you're kidding me?"
Ning Youyan was silent for a while, and finally confessed: "It's fake to chase and kill me, I'm sorry I lied to you in a hurry." In fact, I was only tracked by them for a few days, and I was almost caught. ”
The girl's tone was slightly angry, "I really don't know why they are following me, I don't know them at all!" ”
Gu Xin thought for a while and said, "I don't believe your words. ”
Ning Youyan said angrily: "What do you want? Yes, you saved me once. You tell me the address of your home, and I'll give you a thank you gift in a few days! ”
Gu Xin said: "It's better for you to make it clear now." Although I saved you, I was also worried that you were not a good thing. If I save you, but let you continue to do evil, I will have a troubled conscience. ”
Gu Xin refers to the girl's fierce scarlet mask, as well as this murderous red close-fitting soft armor! Anyway...... Ning Youyan now took off Gu Xin's coat, revealing a red armor, which made people think that she was extremely vicious and terrifying at first glance.
If it weren't for the fact that the girl had taken off her mask and also revealed her sinking face, diluting this evil spirit, she would be a fierce god!
Ning Youyan was angry, this person said she wasn't a good thing?
Ning Youyan pointed to the armor on his body, "Do you think this thing makes me look like a good person?" ”
Gu Xin nodded.
Ning Youyan said: "This is the treasure armor I picked up from the Xiangshui Palace, since I picked it up!" I picked it up! Why can't I wear it! What's more, it fits so well! ”
“......”
Ning Youyan said: "Can I leave now?" ”
Gu Xin said: "I think you should make it clearer." ”
Ning Youyan clenched his fists.
Her lacquer-like eyes locked on Gu Xin, and she finally compromised.
"Good. You win. I can slowly explain to you how nice and wonderful I am. ”
"But you have to meet one of my conditions first."
"You saved you, and I still have to meet your conditions?"
The girl's face flushed, this time it was not ashamed, it was embarrassed, "I want to eat." I have...... I haven't eaten for three or four days. And there is no money left...... The wallet ran away. ”
Gu Xin was stunned.
Speaking of which, he still has twenty taels of silver.
Gu Xinli said: "I believe you are a good person, because you don't steal or rob your wallet if you lose it, you have been hungry for three or four days, you are not a good person, who is a good person?" Well, you're good to go. ”
Ning Youyan was stunned for a moment, and she became a good person?
Then the girl reacted, "Hey! Why did you let me go when it came to inviting me to a light meal? Aren't you the young master of the five-rank official family? Such a miserly style, it's really all nonsense! ”
This guy just doesn't want to spend money to fill her stomach!
Ultimately.
Gu Xin still took Ning Youyan to dinner.
Upstairs in Yayi, twenty taels of silver, let her eat a full table.
