Chapter 570: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole
"Stop!" The stall owner suddenly passed by his stall and stopped in front of Xiao Mian, shouting: "You destroyed my heirloom, and you want to walk away?"
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this. What a guy, in just a short while, the broken mirror of the top-level magic weapon level has become the other party's heirloom?
While he was laughing and crying, he saw that the accomplices of the stall owners around him really gathered around him at the first time, trapping him in the center, and Xiao Mian pretended not to know.
"This broken mirror is already in tatters, why do you say I broke it?"
"In broad daylight, in the open world, are you trying to confuse right and wrong? In front of everyone, what happened just now was seen by everyone, don't deny it!"
As soon as the stall owner said this, his accomplices responded in unison, either accusing or testifying, with only one purpose, which was to confirm Xiao Mian's responsibility for breaking the mirror.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing! We are all honest businessmen! This broken... mirror! I have told you the price of this mirror before. As long as you buy it, it will be yours, broken or shattered, whatever you want!"
"You want me to spend 100,000 spirits to buy such a pile of junk?"
"This..."
The stall owner was stunned. Even a blackmailer like him who cheated and stole all day long was speechless under Xiao Mian's questioning.
It is indeed a bit outrageous to spend 100,000 middle spirits to buy a bunch of junk...
"I think you two are honest people, so I will be the arbitrator, how about that?" At the same time, a companion of the stall owner saw an opportunity and hurriedly came up to smooth things over: "I guess this Taoist friend didn't break the mirror on purpose, but you did break the mirror, isn't that right? If the mirror was not broken, 100,000 middle spirits wouldn't be expensive; but now the mirror is broken after all, how about this, in addition to the remains of the mirror, Taoist friend can pick another one at his stall, how about that?"
The words of this man who suddenly came out seemed very fair, but in fact they were biased towards the stall owner to the extreme - because they all knew: let alone one thing on the stall, even if all the things were added together, they might not be worth 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones!
Not to mention 100,000 middle spirits!
"..."
In silence, Xiao Mian pretended to be in deep thought.
His eyes intentionally or unintentionally turned around the stall owner and the accomplices of several other stall owners, and he acted as if he was belatedly alert.
But from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Mian loved the person who made the arbitration!
From the beginning, Xiao Mian's target was not the replica of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror, otherwise he would not have used his dark energy to smash the broken mirror, thus causing such a dispute. What Xiao Mian wanted was another artifact!
Now, things really developed in the direction he expected.
"Ten thousand spirits!" He stretched out a finger while speaking, and before the stall owner and his companions could make a fuss, Xiao Mian snorted coldly: "It's just ten thousand spirits, just consider it as my spending money to avoid disaster. Humph! Don't think I'm a rookie who just debuted!"
This time, it was the turn of the stall owner and several companions to be silent.
Finally, after the person who interrupted before nodded, the stall owner agreed.
In this way, Xiao Mian spent 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones to buy a bunch of broken mirror fragments that were completely useless, and took away an ancient three-legged tripod!
The three-legged tripod had big feet and two ears, a big belly and a small mouth, and a small tripod cover on the mouth. From the first time he saw the three-legged tripod, Xiao Mian immediately remembered the ancient tripod he got from Ye Qingguo's grandfather when he was in Lingchuan Market!
This little tripod is exactly the same as the one at the beginning!
You know, the three-legged tripod that was obtained without spending a low-grade spirit stone at the beginning, after being decomposed by the ghost head, actually got a piece of Galaxy Star Sand!
Xiao Mian's most powerful attack method at hand now, the Star Magnetic Sword, is based on the Galaxy Star Sand and the Yuan Magnetic Iron. Even if this reason is excluded, a piece of the seventh-level spirit material Galaxy Star Sand alone is definitely worth more than 100,000 middle spirits!
Moreover, when the Star Magnetic Sword was forged, the scholar mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally. The Star Magnetic Sword was full of spirituality. If it was recast with suitable spiritual materials in the future, it would not be difficult to improve its grade, even to the level of a high-level magic weapon!
Now that he saw this three-legged tripod, how could Xiao Mian easily miss it?
After getting the three-legged tripod, Xiao Mian seemed to be too proud of himself and laughed out loud. Under the confused gaze of the stall owner and his accomplices, Xiao Mian didn't even care about the broken mirror fragments, put away the three-legged tripod, and walked away.
For a while, all the onlookers thought that Xiao Mian was worried about the ten thousand spirits.
Only the stall owner, after a little surprise, suddenly changed his face.
"Damn it! Could it be that after hunting geese all day, you were blinded by geese?"
"Hmph! Third brother, where did your three-legged tripod come from?"
"I don't know! I even forgot where I got this junk!"
"Junk? I don't think so!" The man who interrupted as an arbitrator whistled slightly in the direction where Xiao Mian disappeared, and then saw a black shadow flash in the air and followed Xiao Mian. The man breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "The kid just now clearly had his eyes on the ancient tripod from the beginning, but he deliberately made things vague and pointed east and hit west, and actually deceived all of us!"
"Boss! You mean..."
"That three-legged ancient tripod is definitely not ordinary! Humph! The kid just now seemed to be as smart as a ghost, but he was a little naive after all. In the end, he got the ancient tripod and was a little too proud of himself. He even gave up the broken mirror fragments as a cover. Otherwise, we brothers would still be kept in the dark by him! No! This matter must not be let go!"
"The boss is right! We must not let it go!"
It was the stall owner who echoed him resentfully.
Thinking of how he thought he had a plan before, but he didn't expect that he was played around by that bastard from beginning to end, the third stall owner felt quite embarrassed.
Now if Xiao Mian appeared in front of him again, he might be torn into pieces by him.
But they didn't know that Xiao Mian was not a person who was too proud of himself?
Everything was just a plan within a plan, a game within a game by Xiao Mian!
After getting the three-legged tripod, Xiao Mian was not in a hurry to go to the Talent Recruitment Hall.
Since the conditions of Wang's Talent Recruitment Hall are so excellent, how can it be easy to enter?
The twelve middle-grade spirit stones that Xiao Mian gave to the waiter before were not given for nothing. Before the waiter knew it, Xiao Mian had already found out a lot of details about Beisai Mansion. According to the waiter, those who can enter the Talent Recruitment Hall are all at the high level of Jindan, and very few middle-level Jindan cultivators can enter.
If Xiao Mian successfully enters the Talent Recruitment Hall, not to mention whether the stall owners can find him smoothly, it is unknown whether they dare to trouble Xiao Mian again!
In this case, Xiao Mian simply stayed in the Ji family's training inn.
It was just a little awkward, but it was harmless.
But I don't know whether he was afraid of the golden signboard of the Ji family's training inn, or he was not fully prepared. That night, Xiao Mian was not harassed at all.
Early the next morning, Xiao Mian walked out of the north gate of Xianyang City.
Since the bait has been put down, you can't not cast the fishing rod.
If the other party had any concerns in Xianyang City, Xiao Mian simply walked out of Xianyang City and lured the snake out of its hole.
Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Mian noticed the black shadow above his head.
Thinking back to the day when he left Wanzong City, Xiao Mian and his party had been monitored and tracked by the beast patrol sky eagle along the way. Therefore, Xiao Mian was particularly sensitive to strange things in the sky, but Xiao Mian did not act rashly.
I'm not afraid of you following me!
I'm afraid you won't follow me!
In the brief conflict with the other party yesterday, Xiao Mian had roughly checked the cultivation level of the other party's gang. The stall owner of the broken mirror was a middle-level Jindan cultivator, which was already ranked in the top three among the gang. The one with the highest cultivation level was the one who had spoken out for arbitration, but he was only a high-level Jindan cultivator. Xiao Mian thought he was enough to subdue the other party.
If it really doesn't work, activate the Beidou Si Nan Pan, Xiao Mian doesn't believe that Gui Hai won't come - even if it's not for Xiao Mian's face, how can he not come if there is a fight?
What's more, Xiao Mian also brought a super-class demon beast, the Fire Beast, with him. If he released it, its combat power would be no less than that of an ordinary high-level Jindan cultivator!
While thinking wildly, Xiao Mian walked farther and farther away.
Finally, when he was a hundred miles away from Xianyang City, the other party couldn't help it!
"Hey! I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to pass through here, leave the spirit stone!"
With this shout, five people suddenly rushed out in front of Xiao Mian and blocked Xiao Mian's way. Coming back to his senses from the other party's domineering lines, Xiao Mian glanced at them and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: all of them are Jindan beginners, they really look down on him!
Xiao Mian didn't think about it: according to the common sense of the cultivation world, three Jindan beginners can fight against one Jindan mid-level cultivator. The other party sent out five Jindan beginners as the first line, which shows how much they value Xiao Mian, not to mention that there is a backhand?
Seeing Xiao Mian's expression, the five people were all very angry.
Without saying anything more, the five people launched an offensive.
Since the opponent had shown his fangs, Xiao Mian naturally refused to be outdone, but while fighting back, Xiao Mian had to control his true energy to avoid alerting the enemy.
This first wave of five people was clearly just an appetizer!
After a fierce battle, Xiao Mian finally succeeded in subduing all five people with a slight advantage, locking their true energy and knocking them to the ground.
Then, Xiao Mian didn't say much. If he didn't like someone, he would punch him; if he didn't scream loudly, he would stab him with a sword; if he wanted to escape, he would kick him...
For a while, there were wailing at the scene, but no one died.
"Friend! Please stop!"
After that, three people fell from the sky.
