Chapter 422: Slap in the face
Speaking of which, among the five families of the Five Emperor Mountains of the Eastern Dragon Empire, they are still very harmonious with each other, and there are very few things that happen to fight and kill or conspiracy behind them, at least on the surface, and those who really know the inside story will also be shocked by the truth behind the scenes.
Between the five major families, between any two families of each other, they have never calculated each other, at least they have no plan to calculate that the other party will not be able to maintain the glory of the family, and they don't even have such thoughts.
In addition to the rules set by the ancestors 10,000 years ago, more importantly, the Eastern Dragon Empire has too many external troubles.
There are people in the north and south, and there are angry sea krakens and overseas monks in the east and south respectively, and every once in a while, there will always be a large-scale sea tide, and the southwest is located in the endless mountain range, where there are countless demon beasts and spirit beasts, and there will always be a beast tide every few decades because there are too many spirit beasts, and even the center of the endless mountain range will come out from time to time with a long roar, causing all kinds of unpredictable consequences.
And the Northwest Cave Slave Clan, which occurs once every three thousand years, is a time bomb, which may swallow up the Eastern Dragon Empire at any time.
Under such circumstances, if the Donglong people still have to fight and consume their strength, I am afraid that it will be impossible for the Donglong Empire to exist for more than 10,000 years.
And all the big families, at least in the upper echelons of the imperial capital, important children will be taught from an early age to be united and harmonious, and to get along with the children of other families in a friendly way.
However, time is always ruthless, people's hearts are always complicated, human nature is always greedy and insufficient, and more than 10,000 years of time have been accumulated. Always unconsciously changed a lot.
For example, people like Ji Shifeng always think about themselves. For the sake of his own sons and grandchildren, I don't know how many people's interests have been harmed. How many tragedies have been caused.
In fact, Zhang Chaolong also scared Ji Tingliu, it was impossible to treat him well, but Ji Tingliu was not a descendant of the Ji family, and he didn't know the agreement of the ancestors, but Zhang Chaolong was really angry in his heart, and he didn't do it directly because of his feelings, according to Zhang Chaolong's usual personality, if he was replaced by someone else. I'm afraid he has already been crippled or even died.
The Ji family followed the guards who came from Ji Tingliu, and hurriedly protected Ji Tingliu in the middle, separating Zhang Chaolong and the two, although Zhang Chaolong was no longer embarrassed by Ji Tingliu, but who could guarantee it? At least those guards did not dare to be careless, because they knew very well in their hearts that once something happened to this master, what would the master of the imperial capital do to them, they would tremble in their hearts when they thought about it.
In Cao Jing's eyes. This Ji Tingliu is a clown-like character, and even Ji Tingxuan, who is a member of the Ji family, is very disdainful of Ji Tingliu's style.
The matter has passed, and everyone has not taken it to heart, with Ji Tingxuan's joining. Everyone was even happier, and of course, the happiest person was someone. I've been smiling silly, and I'm no longer talking about it before.
As for Ji Tingliu. kept salivating and followed, wanting to talk to Li Yiyu. looked flattering, everyone didn't look at it, just when he didn't save zĂ i, his guards were ashamed of their son-in-law, but where their duty was, there was no way to leave, the only thing that made them feel a little grateful was that Cao Jing and the others did not target them, and even understood their situation, and did not mean to embarrass them.
The Fang City of Ningji City is indeed as Zhang Chaolong said, all kinds of elixirs and spiritual materials, dazzling, overwhelming, of course, the low-level ones must be the most, these are not what Cao Jing needs, but there are indeed many varieties, and many of them are unique, some special effects, Cao Jing has also collected a lot, these are useful for him to refine the elixir.
Li Yiyu followed Cao Jing along the way, and ignored Ji Tingliu's accosting, not to mention Cao He, who had been holding Li Yiyu's hand all the time, that Ji Tingliu was just about to approach, and immediately turned into a little tiger, eyeing him, looking like he was choosing someone to devour, which completely regarded Li Yiyu as a sister-in-law and did not allow her to be harassed.
Cao He, of course Ji Tingliu knows, and he knows very well about Cao He, the little witch, he was very miserable by Cao He back then, and later when he saw her, he could hide, and every time he saw Cao He, he was worried.
However, Ji Tingliu knew very well how much benefit his family could get if he could pursue Li Yiyu, and how much benefit he would have for himself, so even if Cao He was there, he had to try it hard, but after a few attempts, he was depressed and retreated, not only Cao He was cold to him, but more importantly, Li Yiyu didn't pay any attention to him at all, and his attention was focused on the young man he didn't know, but he kept buying things.
This made Ji Tingliu very angry in his heart, this young man didn't look brilliant, even the spiritual power fluctuations on his body were not strong, and in the imperial capital family he knew, he had never heard of such a number one person, if it was a member of the Zhang family, he shouldn't just be like this just now.
To say that this Ji Tingliu is also a little clever, but unfortunately, he is just a self-righteous person, for Cao Jing's identity, there is no bit of investigation, nor any understanding, just his own self-righteous analysis, I feel that Cao Jing is just a poor boy without any background forces, and I don't know how much I think about dealing with him.
His eyes kept turning, looking at Cao Jing, who was constantly looking for elixir and spiritual materials, Ji Tingliu suddenly had an idea in his heart.
The elixirs bought by Cao Jing are relatively rare, and the effect is relatively special, generally speaking, only the medicine master can use it, of course, if you encounter a relatively high-grade elixir, Cao Jing will not let go, along the way, but in half an hour, Cao Jing has spent at least 300,000 spirit stones, however, for his harvest, Cao Jing is still very satisfied.
Suddenly, there was a faint light on a stall in front of him, and when he looked closely, he couldn't see anything, Cao Jing didn't care, and continued to check on each stall.
At this time, he was holding an elixir in his hand, which was only a third-grade elixir, but it was an elixir that contained an elixir related to divine consciousness. It's kind of special, and. It was extremely difficult to find, and Cao Jing certainly bought it without hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist. How can this elixir be sold?"
"Childe's eyes, this elixir is a rare elixir, although I don't know what kind of elixir it is, but I have been selling elixir in this market for dozens of years, what kind of elixir I haven't seen, but this elixir, I haven't seen it, if Childe likes it, give a real price." I really don't know what it does. â
"Daoist friends praise falsely, this is a three-grade elixir, even if the effect is special, the grade is not high, I will give you three thousand spirit stones, if you agree, I will buy it!"
"Childe ......"
"I'll give out 5,000 spirit stones!"
Just when the boss was overjoyed and was about to say yes, an extremely arrogant voice suddenly sounded. And this voice turned out to be from the side of the son.
Needless to say, the person who spoke was Ji Tingliu and shouted out the price of five thousand. He had already raised his head triumphantly, his face was full of disdain, and he looked at Cao Jing with a proud look.
"Brother Ji is out of 5,000, does Brother Ji know what this spirit grass is?"
"I don't know. But Ben Gongzi likes it! If you have the ability to bid, which of us bids highest. Who's it!......
Cao Jing understood, this Ji Tingliu looked unbeaten. It's to make yourself ugly and save your face. Cao Jing was very helpless in his heart, and he also felt very funny, but the elixir in his hand still needed to be fought for, after all, it was hard to find.
"Oh, since Brother Ji said so, then the little brother is not as good as being respectful, I will give seven thousand spirit stones!"
"I'll give 20,000!"
"It's yours!"
Cao Jing is still very clear about the value of these three-grade elixirs, the three thousand spirit stones given before are already one thousand more than the ordinary three-grade elixir, and seven thousand is already more than three times, which is already the limit.
20,000 spirit stones? It's better to buy pills and eat them!
It's just that I didn't expect that this Ji Tingliu would fight against Cao Jing every time he could, Cao Jing shot five times, didn't buy a single elixir, and all of them were bought by Ji Tingliu at a high price, but for Cao Jing, it doesn't matter, it's luck to be able to buy it, and it's not a loss if you can't buy it.
It's just that in the middle of this, Cao Jing looked at the stall where there was a flash of light a few times, and the result was that three times he caught the flash of light, like a bright light like a star, and he was very excited, this is very likely to be the night star grass, a six-grade elixir, for Cao Jing at this time, the value is immeasurable, it is a kind of spiritual grass that may condense the golden pill, and it is to use the power of the star to condense the golden pill.
Cao Jing has been thinking in his heart, how to buy it, but this Ji Tingliu is very annoying, if Cao Jing buys it directly, it will definitely be robbed by Ji Tingliu, who makes the family have a deep background and countless spirit stones.
In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the stall, it was an old man who was only in the late stage of foundation building, he was in tatters, his spirit was sluggish, and it seemed that his time was running out, but there was a young man in the early stage of qi refining beside him, every time the old man saw the young man, there was always kindness in his eyes, however, there was a trace of sadness behind that kindness.
This old man is worried about his grandson, seeing that his time is running out, what can he do with his grandson in the future, after all, the cultivation realm is extremely cruel, and there are no resources for cultivation, how to improve cultivation.
Cao Jing looked at the grandfather and grandson, looking at the dozens of elixirs on the stall, and in the most inconspicuous place, a dark ink-colored spirit grass was mixed with other herbs, without the slightest brilliance.
But Cao Jing is sure that it is the Night Star Grass!
Suddenly, Cao Jing's eyes lit up, and an idea flashed in his mind, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and he glanced at Ji Tingliu, who was secretly looking at Li Yiyu, but he didn't let go of Cao Jing.
"Old man, the elixir spirit grass you have here, except for this one, I want everything else, give you eight hundred spirit stones, what do you think?"
Cao Jing deliberately pulled out the night star grass, pointed to the remaining elixir and said, the old man listened to Cao Jing's words, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, his grandson finally has a little resource for cultivation in the future, eight hundred spirit stones, he has never seen so many spirit stones once in his life.
"Okay! Thank you Childe, the old man will wrap up Childe!"
"Slow down, old man, I'll take out three thousand spirit stones, except for that one weed, all the others will be wrapped up for me!"
"This son, these elixirs have already been sold to this child......"
"I'll give out 5,000 spirit stones!"
Ji Tingliu didn't want to listen to the old man's chatter, for him, it was already a great honor for him to be able to talk to this old man, and if he was so entangled, he would feel embarrassed.
"This ...... But ......"
"Old man, since this boy is bidding higher than mine, you can sell it to him!
"Thank you Gongzi for making it happen!" the old man looked at Cao Jing with a grateful face, and he was a little trembling when he spoke.
Ji Tingliu waved his hand, and the guard behind him had already taken out five thousand spirit stones and gave them to the old man, and at the same time, he waved his hand to put away all the other elixirs except for the Night Star Grass.
The old man hurriedly put the five thousand spirit stones into the storage bag, bowed to Cao Jing, and looked grateful, Ji Tingliu looked at this situation, and felt very uncomfortable, he came out of the spirit stone, and as a result, the other party was not grateful to himself, but to be grateful to his opponent, and he was depressed.
"Thank you Gongzi for Chengquan, this elixir, the old man doesn't know what it is, maybe it's really worthless, but it's also the old man's heart, so I gave it to the childe, I hope the son laughs!
As he spoke, the old man picked up the only remaining night star grass in the stall with both hands and respectfully handed it to Cao Jing...... (To be continued......)
