At the corner of the street, a mahogany shelf filled with metals and ores, a shop specializing in metals, has an appraiser who specializes in identifying metals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

An old man with silver hair and a white beard hanging down to his chest was holding his glasses in one hand and pinching a grain of ash in the other hand to examine it carefully, he was the appraiser hired by the store with decades of experience.

After looking at it for a long time, the old man's face changed slightly, he took off his glasses, carefully put the ash grains on a copper weighing plate, weighed them and measured them, and finally put a drop of yellow liquid on the ash grains, and after waiting for a few breaths, he exhaled a long breath, and carefully wiped the ash grains with a delicate animal skin, as if this was not an ash particle, but his eyeballs.

"Little friend, how many more such things do you have?" the old man asked, without asking the shopkeeper who was standing beside him, putting the ash grains on a piece of red brocade.

"That's it. Yang Li replied as he pressed the little beast in his arms that kept trying to jump out.

A look of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes, and after muttering in a low voice, 'It's a pity that there are too few of them,' he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper.

The boss hurriedly stretched out his hand, blocked it with his sleeve and held the old man's hand, and after a brief eye and finger exchange between the two, the old man stood up tremblingly and went to the back hall with the help of the guys in the store.

After the boss left, the boss looked at Yang Li with a smile on his face, and the enthusiasm in his eyes even his own son had not enjoyed. "Little brother, you can sell this stone to our store in an interested way, and you are satisfied with the price. ”

Yang Li frowned slightly. "Shouldn't you tell me what this thing is first? ”

"Oh...... Look at me......" The boss patted his head. "It's a rare metal, and its name is tellurium, but it's useless to say that it's only a certain amount. ”

Yang Li looked at the boss meaningfully, and sneered in his heart, sure enough, there was no traitor, the other party only said a name, and did not tell the purpose, and then deliberately used the lack of quantity to devalue the value, if he hadn't read enough books, he would have been fooled by this profiteer today. The greatest use of tellurium as a rare metal is that it can combine several metals, that is, alloys. In ancient times, alloys were not a rare item, but now they are different, and good alloys are harder than phantom steel. However, the boss is not wrong in saying that this grain is really not very useful.

"How much can you pay?" Dongfang Jun saw that Yang Li didn't speak, and interjected on the side.

The boss thought about it for a while. "If there is only this one, I can only get ten taels of silver......

Before the boss's words fell, Yang Li picked up the ash grains and turned around and walked towards the door.

"Hey, brother, don't go, if you are not satisfied with the price, you can tell you a price......" The boss hurriedly walked out of the counter, chased to the door, and saw that Yang Li did not mean to stop, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Fifty taels, one hundred...... Five hundred ......"

Yang Li walked on the street without looking back, Dongfang Jun and Jiang Luoyan followed closely behind, and the boss finally shouted the price of five thousand taels, and then added a sentence of 'discuss again'.

Dongfang Jun's eyes lit up and caught up with Yang Li, and he lowered his voice to discuss: "Brother, it's five thousand taels, it seems that you can add more, if you sell the dozen or so grains in your hand, you can at least ask him for one hundred thousand taels of silver, why don't I go back and ask again?"

Yang Li spread out his right hand, and before Dongfang Jun could react, the little beast that had been waiting on the side licked its tongue, and more than a dozen gray grains had already fallen into its mouth, and the little beast that swallowed the ash grains narrowed its eyes with satisfaction, and licked Yang Li's palm affectionately.

"You...... Loser, hundreds of thousands of silver were fed to it, you ...... it" Dongfang Jun's eyes were about to pop out, and he subconsciously reached out to catch the little beast.

The little beast that was meekly licking its palm didn't wait for Dongfang Jun's hand to touch it, and a white shadow flashed (Yang Li's clothes were white), and bit on Dongfang Jun's little finger.

"Wow, loosen your mouth, loosen your mouth......" Dongfang Jun shouted while shaking his hand, and just about to grab it with his other hand, the small beast whose fur had turned flesh-colored flashed and bit on the thumb of Dongfang Jun's other hand.

Dongfang Jun jumped to change hands to grab it, the yellow shadow flashed, and the little beast returned to Yang Li's arms, looking at Dongfang Jun with a pair of big eyes, with an innocent look.

A circle of bright teeth marks was left on the two fingers, and a few drops of blood fell to the ground along the fingertips, Dongfang Jun gasped and stuffed his fingers into his mouth, glaring at the little beast, but there was nothing he could do, the speed of the little beast's metamorphosis couldn't even catch up with Yang Li, don't say it's him.

"I deserve it! My head is full of money, and the ore is found by other people's little beasts, and of course I have to feed it to others. Jiang Luoyan snorted coldly on the side.

Dongfang Jun stuffed two fingers in his mouth, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to return it, and besides, he didn't dare to contradict Jiang Luoyan, so he could only bear it silently.

The purity of the steel ore is extremely high, and it was sold at a high price of eight thousand taels of silver, this price greatly reduced Dongfang Jun's hatred for the little beast, and at his strong request, the three of them went to the gambling stone street again, but this time there was no gain, the little beast became drowsy soon after swallowing the tellurium metal, and after strolling around the gambling stone street, he went directly into Yang Li's clothes and fell asleep.

This is the first time that such a situation has appeared, although the little beast has been sleeping most of the time every day in the past, it is lying on Yang Li's shoulder, occasionally burrowing into his arms and coquettish, and there has never been a precedent for sleeping in his clothes. And when it was time for dinner, the three of them ordered a large table of dishes, but the little beast still didn't wake up, if it weren't for its steady breathing and slight snoring from time to time, Yang Li almost wanted to take it to see the doctor.

The abnormal state of the little beast made Yang Li and Jiang Luoyan lose their appetite, a large table of dishes cheapened Dongfang Jun, and some gloating Dongfang Jun was not idle while eating, and finally after being slapped on his toes, he finally stopped cursing on whether the little beast had a bad stomach.

At night, when Yang Li was cultivating and sleeping, he didn't take out the little beast. In the middle of the night, the little beast that had slept for four or five hours finally woke up once, crawled out of his clothes lazily, licked Yang Li's face, and fell asleep next to his pillow again, and Yang Li finally didn't have to sleep like a 'corpse' anymore.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Luoyan was not worried about the little beast, and pulled Dongfang Jun, who had not woken up, to come over to check, the little beast was lying on the table eating breakfast, Dongfang Jun looked at the little beast with his head buried in the tiger, raised his hand and stretched out his hand towards the little beast, and after hearing the warning sound of 'woo', he came to Yang Li's bedside and fell asleep on the bed.

Seeing that the little beast recovered, Jiang Luoyan put his mind at ease, sat at the table and watched the little beast eat, suddenly his expression moved, and he looked at Yang Li hesitantly. "Do you think the little beast is different from yesterday? ”

Yang Li nodded slightly. "I can feel it, its eyes are brighter than yesterday, and it seems to be faster than before. ”

Jiang Luoyan lowered his head, pressed his chin on the table, and looked at the big eyes of the little beast. "It's not bright, its eyes seem to be more spiritual! What a strange little thing, what the hell is it?"

The little beast's ears moved, but it didn't stop eating, and it ate with relish.

No one could see it, and under the dark eyes of the little beast, a red dot the size of a pin's eye flashed faintly.
