Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Blackstone
Following.
Early in the morning, Ye Chen finished his cultivation early, and he was waiting in the hall after washing up.
It didn't take long for me to see Ye Chong's sleepy eyes, yawning, rubbing his eyes with his hands and slowly shaking in.
"Fourth, you're early enough, what time is it, and you're calling people up. Ye Chong's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he yawned and said to him.
"It's still early, I'm all out to practice, I think it's the third brother you are too idle in the martial arts hall!" Knowing that the third brother was so sleepy, he was not surprised by his reaction, but said with a smile.
Without waiting for Ye Chong to refute anything, Ye Chen's face suddenly turned straight and shouted "Father" behind Ye Chong.
Looking back, a middle-aged man with a delicate appearance and a sturdy body was standing behind Ye Chong with a smile on his face, and took a closer look at who it could be if it wasn't Ye Nantian!
Seeing the person coming clearly, Ye Chong also grinned secretly, hurriedly said hello, and then stood up steadily.
After Ye Nantian came in, he looked at the two people who had been cleaned up, and also smiled lightly: "Hehe, if Chong'er didn't sleep enough, it would be good to wait until he went back to the martial arts hall and then rested by himself, so there are more things to do in the city, so it is inevitable to leave early." ”
Ye Chong hurriedly replied that he was not sleepy, not sleepy, just kidding, could he say this!
After a few more words of explanation to his family, Ye Nantian took the two teenagers and set off towards Yuntie City.
On the way, Ye Chong was completely awakened, regained his former liveliness, and kept telling Ye Chen some things that he had to know in the city, which made him quite enjoyable to hear.
"Third brother, I heard you say, the two biggest forces in Yuntie City are the City Lord's Mansion, and the other is the Zhang clan who is in charge of the largest auction venue in the city?" Listening to this, Ye Chen couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Well, in Yuntie City, the most undoubted strength is the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention that there are many masters in the Mansion, even the City Lord's cultivation is unfathomable, and I heard that the Huo family master is not a grade at all. After a pause, Ye Chong continued.
"And the Liu clan, although its true cultivation is not too high, but the fourth child, you must know that money can communicate with the gods, even we cultivators can't completely avoid it, that Zhang clan has recruited a large number of wandering masters with strong wealth, and it is estimated that it is almost the same if it is not comparable. ”
Listening to Ye Chong's detailed introduction, Ye Chen also nodded thoughtfully.
"I heard that the third brother said that the city lord's cultivation is very high, and even the head of the Huo family is not as good as it, I really don't know where I have cultivated, Dad, do you know?" Ye Chen was also interested in the city lord, and after asking again but not getting a conclusion, he turned his head unwillingly and asked Ye Nantian on the other side.
"Hehe, city lord, I saw it once many years ago, and it is at least a big step stronger than the head of the Huo family. With a chuckle, Ye Nantian also shook his head, he didn't sell anything, and said like this.
"Sizzle"
Hearing Ye Nantian's answer, Ye Chen and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and gasped, they were one level higher than the head of the Huo family, wouldn't that be
Along the way, just as Ye Chen and the others were talking about all kinds of things about Yun Tiecheng, it passed.
At this time, Ye Nantian also reminded the two of them softly: "It's here." ”
After hearing this, Ye Chen also hurriedly stopped talking, turned his head to look ahead, and saw a towering high wall, tightly blocking the world outside the city and the city, leaving only a gate three zhang wide and seven zhang high, at this moment the gate is open, from time to time people come and go back and forth in the city, on top are three gilded words: Yuntiecheng.
"Hehe, it's finally here, uncle, fourth, you two go back to the martial arts hall with me first, and I'll go talk to the master and then go around with you. As soon as he arrived in Yuntiecheng, Ye Chong was also in high spirits again, and said to the two of them briskly.
The two nodded happily, and followed the latter into the city.
Ye Chong's Qingfeng Martial Arts Pavilion, which is one of the best martial arts halls in Yuntie City, is located on a main street in the south of the city center.
"Uncle, wait for me for a moment, I'll go in first. When he arrived at the door of the martial arts hall, Mu Chong looked back and said a word, and then ran in lightly.
Although he was outside the door, Ye Chen could still hear the sound of continuous training inside, and it was only a moment before Ye Chong entered, and the sound of conversation one after another also came out from inside the martial arts hall.
"Yo, isn't this our genius Ye Dashao, this is just back from home!"
"Hehe, our Ye Dashao is running home twice in three days, who can have this treatment in the martial arts hall!"
"If you can coax our 'thorn head' into submission, so can you. ”
"Haha, forget it, I don't have that ability. ”
As soon as Ye Chong entered, he remembered a bunch of ridiculous voices coming out. Ye Chen listened for a while, and said to Ye Nantian next to him with a smile: "The third brother's popularity is good." ”
"Well, your third brother is open-minded and tolerant by nature, and he is more appropriate in dealing with people, and it is not strange to be so popular. Ye Nantian nodded with a smile when he heard this, and explained in his mouth.
After a while, Ye Chong ran out of the martial arts hall in a hurry, raised his head and whistled, and said, "Go, little four, my brother will take you around the city!"
The three of them didn't go anywhere else, they just went to the largest market in the city, and after arriving, Ye Nantian said to Ye Chen, "Next, I'm going to go to a few places to buy some family spare things and some necessities for Yingying's cultivation, Yun'er, you just follow Chong'er and take a look casually, remember to go back to the martial arts hall before dark." ”
After Ye Nantian walked into a shop, Ye Chong hugged Ye Chen's neck violently, approached his face and said with a smile: "Let's go, my brother will take you to see the Fang Market in Yuntie City!"
Ye Chen naturally didn't have the slightest opinion, he was dragged by him and walked deeper for a while, and suddenly the crowd began to boil, and what caught his eye was a wide and straight street, and the people on the street came and went, which was several times larger than the Fang Market in their town, and Ye Chen, who was following Ye Chong, had a little dazzled in his eyes, and some low-level spirit decisions and some low-level treasure armor that appeared from time to time were all invisible in the town Fang City.
However, Ye Chen just watched with his eyes, but he rarely really got up to ask the price, and just ran around with the mentality of watching the excitement, but Ye Chong was a novice who added a few personal items.
Walking and walking, passing by an extremely inconspicuous stall, the stall owner was even more lazy and slumped on the ground, sitting with his head down drowsily, not knowing what he was thinking, even the things on his stall were some things that Ye Chen had never seen.
After his eyes swept the things on the stall, he lost interest and turned around, wanting to go to another stall to see, but the moment he turned around, Ye Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, and his body stopped as if he was electrocuted, and he froze.
After holding that position for a long time, Ye Chen took a deep breath, but there was a look of idleness on his face, and his eyes swept over the stall just now.
"Boss, can I pick it up and take a look?" After a few glances and no abnormality, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask the stall owner who was bowing his head and contemplating.
"Hmm. ”
The stall owner didn't even bother to raise his head, and when he heard Ye Chen's inquiry, he directly snorted and answered him.
With a shrug of his shoulders without mind, Ye Chen casually picked up the things on the stall and took a cursory look, each thing was just picked up and glanced at a few times and then put it down directly, until he picked up an inconspicuous black stone the size of an egg, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the induction in his body was instantly strong, but then he quietly put down the black stone and looked at something else.
After reading the things on the stall very quickly, Ye Chen asked him again: "Boss, why haven't I seen anything on your side, can you give me a general introduction?"
"If you know it, you will buy it, if you don't know it, you will get out, I only sell to people who know the goods. This time, the stall owner, who had been bowing his head in contemplation, finally raised his head and replied impatiently.
Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at this person's face, not because of his bad attitude, but because of this person's appearance.
I saw that this person was originally born with an extremely handsome appearance, but one eye was pitch black, and the other eye was silver and white, from the right eyebrow to the corner of the mouth, there was a slender scar, although the overall sense of handsomeness was broken, but it also cast a layer of mystery on this person.
"Fourth, what's wrong?" At this moment, Ye Chong in front also discovered Ye Chen's situation, and couldn't help but return to him and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm looking at this stall. Ye Chen grinned, pointed to the booth of the white-eyed man and said.
Ye Chong looked at Mu Yun's fingers, and as soon as he saw the person's appearance, he immediately pulled Ye Chen aside, lowered his head and said: "Fourth, how do you like the things in his stall, this 'cold madman' is notoriously black-hearted for selling things, although there are indeed a lot of good things, but there is also more garbage." ”
"Third brother, this person seems to be very famous?" Hearing that Ye Chong seemed to be very familiar with the person in front of him, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Famous? Sort of, this person's real name is no longer known, only that others call him a 'cold madman', it is said that what ruins and dangerous places, he also dares to intervene, his own strength is unknown, but I have heard that others have seen him hunt a third-order demon beast 'Wind Wolf', and his strength should not be comparable to ours, but also because he has sold a lot of good things, even high-grade Lingjue!" Ye Chong did not hesitate, and directly said the general situation of this person in one breath.
Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, he also had some calculations in his heart, looking at the posture of the person, it should not be the kind of person who can fool the past, Ye Chen turned around and walked over directly, picked up the black stone he had seen before, seemed to laugh, looked down at the cold madman and asked, "Boss, how much is this stone?"
The cold madman who originally had a lazy demeanor seemed to be stunned for a moment when he heard that the other party actually picked up the black stone and asked, and then looked at Ye Chen's still immature face again, and looked at it carefully.
"Seven thousand gold, please bargain as you please!" The cold madman finally didn't see anything on the face that always maintained a faint smile, and pouted again, sat back, and said the same thing in his mouth.
"Seven thousand gold! Cold madman, you are slaughtering cattle, why don't you go and rob it!" When he heard the price, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched and he didn't say anything, Ye Chong next to him couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded angrily.
"Since you know me, you should know that my price is the same, and even if the top sword skills are picked by others, there is no difference, so those useless nonsense should not be said more. Glancing at Ye Chong, the cold madman replied without any nonsense.
Ye Chong's expression was also stunned, of course he knew that the person in front of him did this, but Ye Chong still felt that the asking price this time was too dark, such a broken stone would catch up with the price of a low-grade defensive armor, his face sank, and when he was about to say something more, he was stopped by Ye Chen.
"Third brother, do you have any money, I only have five thousand gold coins on me, lend me some" Ye Chen asked in a low voice with some embarrassment.
"Fourth, don't you really want to buy this broken stone that doesn't know the details, you have saved these five thousand gold coins for a long time!" Ye Chong stared at Ye Chen with a foolish gaze, and said in disbelief.
"It's okay, I'll just take it as a big deal, hurry up and get the money. Ye Chen said with a big grin that didn't care, although his heart was already boiling at the moment.
Finally, Ye Chong shook his head, finally didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand, a money bag was thrown into the latter's hand.
With a smile, Ye Chen took out seven thousand gold coins and was about to hand them to the cold madman.
"Wait!"
His hand was halfway out, but it was suddenly blocked by an emerald green scabbard, and an ethereal, cold voice came out.
