Not far from him, the stall owner Sanxiu and the skeletal-shaped strange man were still arguing over the value and even the price of the citrine stone, while Shen Shi was squatting in front of the stall next door, staring at the spirit grass in a daze.

"Hey, this little master, you've been looking at that Tianluo leaf for a long time, do you want to buy it?"

A voice with a hint of impatience sounded in front of Shen Shi, it was the stall owner of the stall he was squatting right now, looking at this young man who didn't just look at it with an angry face.

Shen Shi came back to his senses, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, stood up, took two steps back, and walked away as if nothing had happened. The stall owner snorted coldly and said to himself: "All I encounter all day long is this kind of poor ghost who can't buy and is penniless, when will I meet that kind of local tyrant who is like rain and doesn't pay money!" Alas, ......

Shen Shi didn't hear the stall owner's disdainful evaluation, but even if he heard him, he couldn't say anything, at the moment he was expressionless, walked around casually again, and then walked back again without knowing it, only this time, he stopped in front of the adjacent stall just now.

After a while, the stall owner and the skeletal-shaped strange man seemed to have finally reached an agreement, and both sides gave in to each step, and finally closed the deal for four spirit crystals.

Seeing that the strange man's painful expression made others look a little more frightened, he took out four shiny spirit crystals from his arms and handed them to the stall owner, then took the citrine, touched it lightly, and hid it in a cloth bag on his waist, and then turned around and left.

During this process, Shen Shi watched silently and did not speak, until the strange man walked away, he walked to the stall and glanced around, his gaze swept over the other spiritual materials, and finally stopped on the small jar that had fallen to the ground.

It was a small, old jar that looked like it had just been dug out of the soil, and it had some dirt on it. The small jar is about half a foot high, the mouth of the jar is sealed, and the body of the jar is mottled and pitted, and there are traces of erosion everywhere, so that even some of the patterns originally carved on the can body have become blurry and illegible, and only a few places can barely be seen.

Shen Shi took a closer look, but he didn't see anything unusual about this small can, it seemed that it was really an old can. And at this moment, the stall owner reached out and lifted the small jar, glanced at Shen Shi by the way, grinned, and said, "What's the matter, little master, do you like this jar?"

Shen Shi smiled, did not speak, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pick up the small can, the hand was a little heavy, and he didn't know if it was the weight of the cancan itself or what was sealed in the small can. However, from the rough feeling coming from the palm of the hand, it can be seen that this small can has indeed been eroded.

Seeing that although Shen Shi didn't speak, he picked up the small jar and looked at it carefully, and seemed to be a little interested in the tattered things that no one cared about all year round, the stall owner became excited and said with a smile: "The little young master really has a good eye, this thing is not an ordinary thing, it was dug up a few years ago when I was born and died in an ancient tomb in 'Hongzhou', and I met a number of ghosts and ghosts in the middle, and I almost died in that ancient tomb." What's the matter, this thing is good, my old marquis has always been sincere, and he only sells you ten spirit crystals. ”

The corners of Shen Shi's mouth twitched, and without saying a word, he directly put the small jar back on the ground, and got up to leave.

The stall owner hurriedly stopped him and said with a dry smile: "Little master, what are you doing, let's have a discussion, let's discuss it well......

Shen Shi snorted, seemed to turn around a little reluctantly, and said angrily: "Don't look at my young age, so you deliberately came to lie to me." ”

A ray of joy passed through the stall owner's eyes, and he thought to himself, is this really a rich young master from a family who doesn't know where he came from? It is also said that this tattered little jar is placed here for a few months on weekdays, and no one will ask a word to take a look, and the real casual cultivation is to pay attention to those spiritual materials that are crucial to cultivation, such as spiritual grass, spiritual mines, elixirs, and even classics, who will have the leisure to look at this inconspicuous jar. That is, this kind of young master of a family with many people who are stupid will like these inexplicable antiquities!

At that moment, the smile on the stall owner's face became warmer and warmer, and he looked at Shen Shi with a smile, and said: "Little young master said that I am not the kind of person who deceives people, if you really like this small can, make a price, let's discuss?"

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, it seemed that he was still undecided, and he couldn't make a conclusion about what the small jar in front of him was, after hesitating, he still picked up the small jar again, turned it over and over in his hand and looked around, and finally slowly stood upside down, his eyes fell on the bottom of the small jar.

The bottom of the can, which is only about half the size of a palm, has also been eroded very badly, causing a pattern originally carved here to become blurred, but compared to the can, the bottom of the can may be better if it is covered on the ground, so the degree of damage is not so serious after all, so after careful identification, Shen Shi still vaguely saw half a sunflower pattern with three leaves.

This is only half of it, and in the other half of the place where it has been eroded so that it is already unrecognizable, there are still some faint lines, and it looks like there are still a few leaves, but it is not clear.

The stall owner was quite patient, and he didn't mean to be impatient even if Shen Shi stared at this small jar for a long time, it was much better than his next-door neighbor, but he just smiled and said, "What's the matter, little master, what can you see?"

Shen Shi was silent, but he hesitated for a while, this pattern was too broken to be seen clearly, but looking at the distribution of this pattern, in addition to the three sunflower leaves that could be identified, it seemed that four more leaves could barely be drawn in the remaining space.

Perhaps, is this really a seven-leaf sunflower pattern......

Shen Shi silently looked at the small jar in his hand, his fingers subconsciously clenched a few points, and after a while, he slowly put the small jar back.

※※※

In the long and distant past, so far away that even today's people have long forgotten the point, once 10,000 years ago, there was a "seven-leaf golden sunflower" pattern, shocking the entire Hongmeng world, the hundred tribes worshipped, the heroes were in awe, because this gorgeous and dazzling golden coat of arms belonged to the master of that era, the supreme ruler of the demon clan who once ruled the hundred races, the master of the heavenly demon court, and the demon emperor.

The era when the Heavenly Demon Court ruled the Hongmeng Realms was much longer than the years when the human race dominated Hongmeng, and it is said that the years recorded in historical records alone were at least 40,000 years. It's just that after the demon war in the past, the demon clan was defeated, and the once glorious and once illustrious Heavenly Demon King Court collapsed in the sea of beacon fire and blood, and since then, everything in the demon clan has been like ashes, dissipating in the dust and smoke of the past.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the history books that once recorded the past history of the demon race have almost disappeared over the years, and the human race dominates the Hongmeng world, what needs to be remembered is that the demon race once brutally enslaved the human race in the past, and finally the human race rose, drove the evil demon race back to the demon world, and self-destroyed the artifact of the town clan "Yin Hades Tower", and since then it has been confined to the demon world and will never come back.

Time is the most ruthless, no matter how you were in the past, thousands of years later, it still turns into dust and clouds, leaving not many traces. In addition, most of those historical books are missing and destroyed, and not many people in the world today still remember the seven-leaf golden sunflower of the year. And Shen Shi was also on the first floor of Xilucheng Tian, Yinzhou, because of some doubts when he was identifying a certain spiritual material with a long history, he flipped through the scrolls to find it, and inadvertently saw some words mentioning this coat of arms.

Anyway, after all, the demon clan once ruled this world for a long time, even if 10,000 years have passed since that era, but in some inconspicuous corners, sometimes you can still inadvertently find some faint words.

It's just that the broken pattern in front of me, how many leaves are still not clear, and at the same time, the dazzling color of the seven-leaf golden sunflower that once belonged to the seven-leaf golden sunflower seems to have fallen off completely, and it is not visible at all.

Could it be that I admit that I am wrong?

Shen Shi was a little hesitant in his heart, after all, before this, he had never seen a real seven-leaf golden sunflower heraldic pattern, everything was based on guessing, but if it was really a seven-leaf golden sunflower heraldic, the origin of this small jar was not simple.

You must know that the pattern of the seven-leaf golden sunflower symbolizes the supreme imperial power in the era of the Heavenly Demon King's Court, and it has always been only used by the direct inheritance of the Demon Emperor's lineage.

But......

Shen Shi raised his head and glanced at the stall owner in front of him, only to see that he had a wide face and big ears, and a horizontal face, although he was smiling at the moment, he seemed to have a bit of fierce momentum. Doesn't look like a particularly lucky person?

A treasure that may be the burial object of a certain generation of Heavenly Demon Emperor Court Demon Emperor, a treasure that was once the ruler of the entire Hongmeng World who is qualified for burial after his death, could it really be this inconspicuous little jar in front of him?

Shen Shi looked at the stall owner with an expressionless face, and the stall owner looked at Shen Shi with a lovely smile.

"A spirit crystal. Shen Shi said lightly.

※※※

The stall owner's face suddenly became not so good-looking, he rolled his eyes, and said, "Little master, you are too fierce in bargaining." ”

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "This thing is not valuable." ”

The stall owner snorted and said, "Little master, just go out and ask, how many years has my old marquis set up a stall here, and I have always been a child...... Uh, what's that look on your face?"

Shen Shi looked at him with a smile, and after a while, he lowered his voice slightly, and said: "Citrine, the color is orange and bright, with the pure color of red and yellow as the top grade, if there is a variegated color mixed in it, there must be impurities and foreign substances, the effect is greatly reduced, it is not entered into the refining weapon, it cannot be alchemized, and it is not ......."

"Enough. The stall owner's face changed greatly, he stared at Shen Shi, and was speechless for a long time.

Shen Shi smiled and said, "The citrine you sold just now, I can see that there are black and gray blocks on the stone, at least three places. ”

The stall owner looked Shen Shi up and down, frowned, and said, "I can't see it, you still have this eyesight at a young age." ”

Shen Shi smiled and didn't say anything, just repeated, "A spirit crystal, sell it to me?"

The stall owner was silent for a moment, his expression on his broad face changed, and then he suddenly showed a smile and said, "Little master, what do you think this little jar is?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just like it." ”

The stall owner glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slowly twitched, and suddenly said, "I'm not selling anymore." ”

Shen Shi was stunned and said, "What?"

The stall owner named Lao Hou smiled slightly and said, "Little master, I see that you have unique eyesight, I'm afraid that you are a child from a family with an extraordinary background." It's just that since you are so discerning, Lao Hou, I will believe you once, I will take this thing back and study it myself, and you are only willing to produce a spirit crystal, even if I take a spirit crystal to gamble on this thing. What do you think?"

Shen Shi was silent for a while, looking at the stall owner Lao Hou, and Lao Hou had a look on his face, stretched out his hand and slowly took the small jar back, put it in front of him, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. Shen Shi took a deep breath and slowly stood up, knowing that he was still too young and inexperienced after all, and he wanted to rely on his own eyesight to find treasures from others, but he didn't know that he was not the only smart person in this world.

At this time, he suddenly recalled the words he told when he was separated from his father Shen Tai in Xilu City that day:

There are countless talents in this world, and the cultivation of immortals is even more elite in the world, there will always be someone who is smarter and stronger than you.

To be smart, this sentence is the current self......

Even if it is an ordinary casual stall owner, it is enough to put himself on a ruthless one, and his past self is really a frog at the bottom of a well. Shen Shi didn't say much, but recited his father's admonition deeply in his heart, and this time, he wanted to engrave it in his heart. Then, Shen Shi took one last look at the small jar and turned to walk away.

Behind him, the stall owner Lao Hou showed a smug smile.

One, two, three, four...... Although he didn't look back, Shen Shi still felt that there was a feeling of heat on his face, maybe it was the heart of a teenager, even if he knew that it was his fault, he still couldn't help but be a little angry, angry with the cunning stall owner, and angry with himself.

Just as he was about to take the fifth step, ready to get away from this stall that made him feel a strong sense of frustration, suddenly a strange and extremely feminine voice came from behind him, which made people feel a little frightened, and said:

"Boss, the amount of citrine just now is a little less, I want to ask if you have any other inventory, I'll buy some more." ”

Shen Shi's footsteps suddenly paused.
