Chapter 6: Salted Fish and Night Pot
After a day and a night, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, revealing a slender orchid finger.
As soon as the orchid finger appeared, it retracted again.
Immediately afterwards, Zeng Xiaoyu's delicate face appeared at the door.
At this time, Zeng Xiaoyu's face was cloudy, and his right hand held the five fingers of his left hand to prevent the orchid fingers from appearing again.
After a day of cultivation, Zeng Xiaoyu magically cultivated the upgraded version of the Heavenly Gelding Sword Technique to the fullest.
Now if he encounters the one-eyed wolf king again, Zeng Xiaoyu can definitely crush it.
However, what made Zeng Xiaoyu depressed was that since he practiced the upgraded version of the Heavenly Gelding Sword Technique, his left hand would always unconsciously compare the posture of the orchid finger.
This gesture made Zeng Xiaoyu hate to chop off his left hand.
He is a real man, how can he compare such a gesture of a sissy?
This has to be said to be the sequelae caused by refining the upgraded version of the Heavenly Gelding Sword Technique.
Zeng Xiaoyu decided to take some time to eliminate this sequelae, and resolutely could not compare the hateful orchid finger in front of people.
In addition to the fact that the orchid pointed out that this was not good, on the whole, the power of the eunuch sword technique on this day was still very satisfactory to Zeng Xiaoyu.
Zeng Xiaoyu is confident that with this sword technique, he can completely crush most of the acquired six-fold martial artists, even sevenfold martial artists, and he may not be without the strength to fight.
This is the advantage of Xuan-level swordsmanship.
Compared with those yellow-level swordsmanship martial arts, this sword technique is many times more powerful, so it can be able to fight beyond the level.
......
Zeng Xiaoyu carried all the savings of nearly a year in his arms.
Twenty taels of silver, this is the silver he has accumulated with great difficulty.
Although Zeng Xiaoyu had practiced an upgraded version of the Heavenly Gelding Sword Technique, he didn't even have a decent iron sword in his hand.
Zeng Xiaoyu planned to go to the stalls in the county town to see if he could find a more decent iron sword.
Zeng Xiaoyu thought as he walked out of the house and walked along a dirt road in the direction of the county seat.
There is a street stall in the county town, which is a street that specializes in selling low-level cultivation items, and if you are lucky, you can even find good things.
Zeng Xiaoyu came to the street of the stall and went straight to a stall.
There, there was an old man with thinning hair and an obscene face who was setting up a stall.
The old man sells a lot of miscellaneous things, including all kinds of old books, low-grade medicinal materials, all kinds of second-hand weapons, and even some strange antiques.
Zeng Xiaoyu is the stall owner's old customer, and he is very familiar with this old man.
As soon as the old man saw Zeng Xiaoyu coming, he immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of leaky yellow teeth.
"Xiaoyu, what do you want to buy today?
I have just received a few chūn gōng tú paintings by the Venerable Master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the beauty in those paintings is like a fairy!
How about I, do you want me to take it out and appreciate it?"
The old man didn't forget to show his signature lewd smile, and a pair of mung bean eyes stared at Zeng Xiaoyu tightly.
When Zeng Xiaoyu heard this, his expression was as usual, and he didn't have the embarrassment of an ordinary teenager when he heard about this kind of thing for the first time, but snorted coldly with disdain: "Who is rare about your broken things? Not to mention the chūn gōng tú that can't move, even the chūn gōng tú that can move, I've seen a lot of them!
Zeng Xiaoyu said with confidence, as a good young man with five poisons in the 21st century, how could he not have watched an action movie from a certain country?
Seeing that Zeng Xiaoyu said decisively, the old man's mung bean eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled evilly:
"I forgot, you just bought this heavenly eunuch sword technique from the old man last time, and I guess you won't need those chūn gōng tú now!
After cultivating the Heavenly Gelding Sword Technique, are there any major changes in your body except for the cut off area?"
The old man suddenly asked very gossipy, and a pair of mung bean eyes kept sweeping over Zeng Xiaoyu's body.
"Do you look at me like this, like someone who has cultivated the Heavenly Eunuch Sword Technique?"
Zeng Xiaoyu's face tensed, and he asked with a righteous face.
The old man swept Zeng Xiaoyu up and down with a pair of mung bean eyes, and finally fell on the orchid finger that Zeng Xiaoyu's left hand had no intention of comparing, and nodded solemnly: "Like! You look like a person who has cultivated the Heavenly Gelding Sword Technique! Look at your figure, this little white face, standing in the crowd, you are definitely the most motherly! Both the East Factory and the West Factory need talents like you!"
The old man let out another lewd laugh.
"You bad old man! How dare you play with me! Believe it or not, I'm going to tear down your stall right now?"
Zeng Xiaoyu hurriedly put away his orchid finger and glared at the old man angrily.
"Don't, don't, just kidding!"
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy.
After the two of them had a quarrel, Zeng Xiaoyu suddenly took out the Heavenly Eunuch Sword Technique and said, "This Heavenly Eunuch Sword Technique, I will return it to you!"
The old man took the secret book, glared at him, and said, "You really don't plan to cultivate this secret book?"
"Cultivate you big-headed ghost! You bad old man is so bad, you always want me to cut off my children and grandchildren, right?"
Zeng Xiaoyu scolded angrily.
"In a word, do you want to accept it or not?"
Old man: "Accept it, I'll just collect it, but I can only collect it at half the original price!"
Zeng Xiaoyu: "Why?"
Old man: "Depreciation expenses, and the secret notes you bought, read it! Sell it back to me at half price, and you won't lose anything!"
The old man laughed.
Zeng Xiaoyu glared at the old man angrily with the appearance of a profiteer, gritted his teeth and said, "Count you ruthless!" ”
With that, throw the secret note on the stall.
The old man smiled, took the secret note, and threw a small piece of silver to Zeng Xiaoyu.
Zeng Xiaoyu took the silver, glanced at the things on the stall, and asked, "What are the new goods recently?"
The old man smiled lewdly, picked up a pot that looked very quaint and shaped like a night pot from the stall, and a soft lying on his stomach, which looked like a pickled dried fish, and said with a smile: "I recently received two interesting things, I think they are very suitable for you!"
Zeng Xiaoyu looked at these two things, raised his eyebrows, glared at the old man angrily, and said, "A night pot, a salted fish! Bad old man, don't you think I'm not enough waste wood?"
The old man smiled mysteriously and said:
"You don't know! These two are good things!
They're from the Black Sky Ruins!
You know the place in the Black Sky Ruins, it's a Jedi, full of dangers.
However, there are a lot of treasures inside, and these two things are brought out from the Black Sky Ruins by a five-fold martial artist who risked his life.
Think about it, where will there be ordinary things in the Black Sky Ruins?
Although it is still unclear what the function of these two things is, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it back!
If you want it, I'll sell it to you for twenty taels!"
However, Zeng Xiaoyu didn't listen to the old man's words, and just sneered when he heard the words, and said, "Since these two things are so good, you still keep them for yourself!"
Just kidding, he had been saving up for nearly a year before he finally managed to accumulate twenty taels of silver.
I was going to use it to buy an iron sword, but I couldn't just be fooled away by this bad old man!
What's the use of buying these two things?
One piece looks like a night pot, although the surface is quaint and looks a little mysterious, but it can't hide the fact that it is a night pot.
Not to mention the salted fish, which looks a bit like the salted ribbon fish on the planet.
The whole strip looks tattered, I don't know what material it is made of, what is the use of eating it but not eating it?
He was so poor now that he wished to break a piece of silver into two flowers, but he had no spare money to buy these two things, which he knew were useless at first glance.
Therefore, Zeng Xiaoyu never considered buying these two useless things at all.
"Ding, the system has detected that there is a treasure that enhances the host's strength within one meter nearby, please try your best to buy it!"
Just as Zeng Xiaoyu set his eyes on the other things in the stall, the emotionless voice of the system sounded in his head again.
"System, are you saying that there are treasures in this stall that increase strength? Where are they?"
Zeng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately communicated with the system in his mind with his thoughts.
"They're in the hands of the guy in front of you. ”
The system says.
"What? You mean the nightpot and the salted fish?"
Zeng Xiaoyu opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief.
"Are you mistaken?
"Make no mistake, the system can scan all the treasures that are helpful to the host within one meter!
All the treasures that are helpful to the host's cultivation can be scanned by the system, and the success rate is 100%, and there has never been a mistake!"
Again, the system said.
"In addition to the appearance of the night pot is a little simpler, and the salted fish is not special except for its toughness?"
Zeng Xiaoyu still said with some disbelieving.
"These two treasures are not ordinary things, they need to be activated with essence blood. Be sure to buy the hosts, they will be of great help to you at the moment!"
The system reminds you in particular.
"Okay! For the sake of you helping me upgrade the exercises, I'll believe you once!"
Zeng Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and made a new decision in an instant.
The communication between Zeng Xiaoyu and the system is a long story, but in fact, it only happens between a few breaths.
Zeng Xiaoyu stood there, the expression on his face changed, sometimes surprised, sometimes confused, sometimes painful.
The old man of the stall owner saw that Zeng Xiaoyu's face was uncertain, thinking that Zeng Xiaoyu had not yet made up his mind to buy, but seeing that Zeng Xiaoyu came back to his senses, he hurriedly continued to introduce:
"Don't look at this thing as a salted fish, it's actually a belt!
The fishtail sticks into the fish's mouth, and the fish's mouth will immediately bite the fish's tail, and the length can also be adjusted to tie pants, which is very convenient!
And this thing, don't look at it like a night kettle, in fact, it's a kettle, the texture is good, it can't be broken, and the spout of the kettle is covered by a lid, so it won't leak!"
The old man of the stall owner demonstrated Zeng Xiaoyu again, but when he saw that he had been twisting it for a long time, he didn't screw out the lid, so he had to give up.
The old man of the stall owner sneered:
"It's so tight that it's hard to get open until you find the key.
If you want to be interested, buy it and study it yourself!"
Zeng Xiaoyu deliberately pursed his lips and said, "Take a salted fish as a belt and a night pot as a kettle? Do you think I will buy these two boring things?"
When the old man of the stall owner heard this, his old face turned red and he sneered:
"It's a bit boring, but it's good that they're also from the Black Sky Ruins, even if it's not practical, it's good to be an antique!
There aren't many things that can be brought out of the Black Sky Ruins, and they actually have a lot of room for appreciation! If you want it, the old man will give it to you cheaper!"
Zeng Xiaoyu heard this, a trace of light flashed in his black eyes, but there was a disdainful evil smile on his delicate face, and he said: "The appreciation space of fart! Eating has become a problem these days, who has the spare money to buy your antiques?"
After a pause, Zeng Xiaoyu suddenly said:
"But I've been unlucky lately, and Mr. Xiang said that I need to wear something with dark attributes, so as to fight poison with poison and get rid of the mildew on my body!
Your night pot and salted fish meet the requirements of the gentleman.
For the sake of your old friends, I can buy these two things.
But I have only two taels of silver on me, and I have one of the remaining taels of silver for other purposes.
So I can only give you a tael of silver. Whether you sell it or not, it's all up to you!"
When the old man of the stall owner heard this, his face turned bitter, his face drooped, and he said: "It's only one tael of silver? When the old man bought these two things, he spent nearly two taels of silver! You want the old man to bleed heavily!"
"To sell or not to sell, just one word!"
Zeng Xiaoyu pretended to leave.
"Can you not be so ruthless? Give two taels of silver and take away two things! The old man has lost money this time! He has worked in vain!"
Zeng Xiaoyu accepted it when he saw it, nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Two taels will be two or two! But don't pretend to be miserable, old man, you two things, except for me, an old customer, no one will buy them even if they are left for a long time! I am helping you deal with the backlog of inventory, so that your funds can be turnover!"
Zeng Xiaoyu said as he took out a piece of silver from his arms!
The large silver ingot, which is five taels, is very eye-catching.
The silver was taken out, Zeng Xiaoyu's hand was in the air, and it was not possible to take it back, nor was it if it was not taken back.
Zeng Xiaoyu's face was embarrassed, he was patronizing the bargaining just now, and he forgot for a moment that he was carrying four ingots and five taels of silver.
took it out now, making me a little unable to advance or retreat.
Looking at the murderous eyes of the stall owner and the old man, Zeng Xiaoyu could only sneer and said: "Of these five taels of silver, three taels are borrowed from others and cannot be used! So I can only give you two taels of silver! Old man, what are you looking at? Hurry up and find money for me! I'll hurry back to cook!"
The old man of the stall owner glared at Zeng Xiaoyu hatefully, threw two things and three taels of silver to Zeng Xiaoyu, and said angrily: "Count you ruthless!"
Zeng Xiaoyu smiled, put the remaining three taels of silver into his arms, and tied the salted fish belt to his waist.
Not to mention, this salted fish belt is quite convenient to use, just like a belt on the earth, it can be buckled up with a light buckle, which is very easy to use.
Zeng Xiaoyu pinned the night pot to his waist, waved his hand to the old man of the stall owner, and walked back with a proud step.
He was in a hurry to study these two strange things now, and he was in no mood to keep grinding with the old man of the stall owner, and even the iron sword that he had always been thinking about was no longer in a hurry to buy it.
