However, if you look closely, you can see the golden light shimmering deep within, but it is completely covered by the impurities in the outer layer of crystal.
'As expected! This must be the plate crystal recorded in the "Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons"!'
Moreover, the gold color inside is quite obvious, indicating that the purity is extremely high!
It was treated as ordinary ore and thrown together with a bunch of lumps of iron?
'Hmm, I remember, my brother wrote something in the letter. Something about making a car?'
That must involve rare metals, right?
Suppressing her surprise, she put on a casual expression and pointed to the crystal, asking the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this?"
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a small mustache, who was lazily yawning.
He glanced at the "broken crystal" that Dongfang Yao was pointing to, then quickly scanned the obviously expensive clothes and accessories on the two girls. His eyes darted around mischievously, and he held up a finger: "One gold soul coin!"
He originally intended to overcharge the child, but seeing that the child was a small kid, he was afraid that shouting too high would scare him away, so he quoted what he thought was a good price first.
"Okay, I'll buy it." Without saying another word, Dongfang Yao tossed over a gold soul coin, and at the same time, her small hand quickly scooped up the crystal plate and stuffed it into her storage soul tool, all in one smooth motion.
"Huh?" The mustachioed shopkeeper caught the gold soul coin and was stunned for a moment.
This is so straightforward? He had a vague feeling that something was off.
Just then, Ning Rongrong also made her move.
She pointed to another piece of dark ore, its surface still shrouded in a cold aura, which looked like a lump of iron dug out of frozen soil.
"Boss, what about this one?"
The mustachioed shopkeeper's eyes darted around again, and he wondered if he had sold it too cheaply. He immediately changed his tune: "This...five gold soul coins!"
"Alright! I'll take it!" Ning Rongrong agreed readily, then turned to Dongfang Yao with a sweet smile, "Yao'er, this is for you!"
"Thank you, Rongrong!" Dongfang Yao cooperated by quickly taking the ore away again.
The mustachioed shopkeeper looked at the five extra gold soul coins in his hand, adding to the one he had before, for a total of six gold soul coins in his account.
Even though he had made a profit, looking at the two girls' decisive actions and calm expressions, he felt an emptiness in his heart.
I feel like I've been taken advantage of.
He scratched his head, looking confused.
at this time,
A slender figure walked up to the herbal medicine stall.
The newcomer was dressed in black, with a black veil covering his face, and long, flowing blue hair cascading down his back.
Her exposed deep blue eyes were calm and expressionless, revealing no emotion.
It was Ye Lingling, who possessed the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
She looked at the mustachioed shopkeeper and said in a cool, indifferent voice, "Sir, I'm here to pick up the Dewdrop Grass I ordered."
"Okay, okay!" the boss replied quickly, taking out a wooden box from under the table and opening it. Inside lay a pale blue herb covered in dew.
Ye Lingling's eyes brightened slightly, and she reached out to take it.
"Wait!" A domineering male voice suddenly interrupted.
The next second, Ye Lingling saw the box in the boss's hand change hands.
She turned her head and looked at the person who had just arrived with a cold gaze.
He was a young man dressed in bright red, with dark circles under his eyes, a haggard face, and an appearance of excessive indulgence.
The young man in red examined the Dew-Gathering Grass in his hand, a satisfied look on his face. He casually tossed a bulging money bag onto the stall and arrogantly declared, "I'll take this grass."
The mustachioed shop owner looked troubled, but dared not offend him, so he could only force a smile.
Upon opening the money pouch and seeing that it contained more than double Ye Lingling's deposit in gold soul coins, he quickly accepted it, bowing and scraping, "Yes, yes, sir, please take care!"
Ye Lingling frowned slightly, her tone clearly displeased: "This was my reservation."
The shopkeeper, with a pained expression, lowered his voice and explained, "Miss, this is the offspring of the Fire Leopard Sect's leader. I really can't afford to offend him."
The Fire Leopard Sect, one of the four lower sects, is led by Fire Flame Leopard, a Soul Douluo powerhouse.
Ye Lingling's eyes darkened, and she bit her lower lip tightly.
The other party was someone that she and her family could not afford to offend.
Although the Ye family has some influence in Tiandou City, it can't compare to the Fire Leopard Sect, especially since this is the sect leader's son.
The young man in red, used to being arrogant and domineering, saw Ye Lingling silent and bowing her head, and assumed she was afraid, so his arrogance grew even stronger!
He smirked as he looked Ye Lingling up and down, her slender figure outlined in black, but his words were sharp: "Tsk, if you can't afford it, don't occupy the toilet! Hiding like this, are you some kind of ugly monster?"
Ye Lingling was proud and aloof, unwilling to argue with such a person, nor did she want to pay more for the medicinal herbs.
She turned to leave, intending to pretend she hadn't heard the foul language.
however,
Ning Rongrong and Dongfang Yao, who had been watching all this, couldn't stand it anymore.
Ning Rongrong, in particular, was instantly filled with a sense of justice. She stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and shouted at the young man, "Fire Leopard Sect? Is that so great? Forcing a sale, do you even deserve to be called a Soul Master? Instead of staying in your Spirit City, you come to our Heaven Dou City to cause trouble!"
Upon hearing this, the young man's temper flared up, and he glared at Ning Rongrong: "Who the hell do you think you are, you brat? How dare you meddle in my business!"
"Watch your mouth! Who I am is none of your business! Now, immediately, return the herbs to this lady and get lost!" Ning Rongrong retorted without backing down.
"You fucking court death!" the young man roared, stomping his foot hard. Three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—instantly rose from beneath his feet, radiating the aura of a Soul Master.
At the same time, several figures flashed out and instantly blocked Ning Rongrong and Dongfang Yao.
They stared coldly at the red-clad youth, whose soul power fluctuations were clearly at the Soul Emperor level, and the leader was even a Soul Saint!
The powerful pressure, almost tangible, pressed down on the young man.
The young man in red turned pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his brow.
When he saw the dazzling seven-jeweled glazed pagoda emblem on the chests of these people, his pupils suddenly contracted.
'Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Damn it, we've kicked a hornet's nest!'
Chapter 118 The Four Women Each Have Their Own Thoughts; Dongfang Yao's First Encounter with Brother Xue
Seeing the arrogant young man in red, who had been so domineering just moments before, now too scared to utter a word, Ning Rongrong proudly raised her chin and mocked, "Go ahead and bark! Why aren't you barking anymore?"
Dongfang Yao, who was standing next to her, quietly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Rongrong, forget it. Uncle Ning told us not to cause trouble."
Ning Rongrong pouted, wanting to refute, but then she thought about it and remembered that her father had mentioned before that although the Fire Leopard Sect had not openly joined the Spirit Hall, its territory was close to Spirit City and the relationship between them was ambiguous. Who knows, it might join one day.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her anger and shouted at the young man, "Hey! Aren't you going to give the herbs back? Do you want to get beaten up?"
The young man clenched his fists tightly, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
He finally tossed the dew-collecting grass in his hand toward Ning Rongrong and turned to slip away.
But after taking only two steps, he felt that this was too embarrassing and wanted to turn back and say something harsh to make up for it.
When he turned around, he was met with the cold, emotionless gaze of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Soul Saint Guard.
He shrank back, all the words stuck in his throat, and finally turned and ran without looking back, much faster than when he came.
Seeing him run far away, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's guards and disciples once again silently disappeared into the shadows.
Ning Rongrong and Dongfang Yao then walked up to Ye Lingling, who had been standing quietly by, and handed her the Dew-Gathering Grass: "Sister, here's your herb."
Ye Lingling looked at the two girls in front of her, who were significantly younger than herself, and a genuine sense of gratitude welled up in her deep blue eyes. She said softly:
"thank you all."
Her voice was beautiful, yet it carried an indescribable etherealness and detachment, as if she were shrouded in an invisible loneliness.
Dongfang Yao and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, both sensing the special aura emanating from this older sister.
"Lingling! Didn't you promise to wait for me? Why did you come here by yourself first!"
A woman's voice, sounding somewhat urgent, rang out.
A woman with short, dark purple hair came running over in a flurry.
As soon as she entered, she saw the scene in front of the stall.
Three girls standing together, and
When her gaze fell on Dongfang Yao, her eyes widened in surprise: "It's you?!"
"Huh?" Dongfang Yao's eyes lit up. "It's you, sister."
"You know Yao'er?" Ning Rongrong
"Yes, this lady is the granddaughter of Poison Douluo. I met her when I went to Sunset Forest with my master last time."
Due to the appearance of Dongfang Yao,
Ning Rongrong, who had no prior connection with the other two girls, got to know them ahead of time.
Four girls walked side by side down a bustling street. After introducing themselves, they all knew each other's identities.
"So Sister Dugu and Sister Ye are both students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were seven years older than them and had extraordinary backgrounds, so Ning Rongrong and Dongfang Yao naturally called them "older sisters".
At this moment, each of the four girls had something on her mind.
Ye Lingling looked at the seemingly obedient Dongfang Yao beside her and was genuinely surprised.
After returning from outside, Dugu Yan devoted herself to cultivation and ignored even Yu Tianheng's attempts to be attentive.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that he had been provoked by this little sister who was seven years younger than him!
More importantly, Ye Lingling herself, as a support-type Soul Master, naturally cultivates at a slower pace and hasn't even broken through level 30 yet, but Dongfang Yao is already at level 24!
Dugu Yan was indeed dealt a blow, but she was not discouraged.
She now feels that at this age, she should focus on self-cultivation, and that talking about love is indeed a bit too early.
After figuring things out, even her grandfather stopped nagging her, and she felt much smoother cultivating herself, with her soul power increasing at a faster rate than before.
As reserve members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, she and Ye Lingling will represent the academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament after the older students graduate.
