Chapter 58: Spending a Lot of Money

After trying his best, Xiao Mian finally stopped Ye Qingguo from crying. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to reflect: I guess I can’t just give random gifts in the future!

"Brother Qingyun, you are such a good person!"

"Good person? You are the good person! Your whole family is good people!" Thinking of Li Mudao's experience, Xiao Mian was disgusted when he heard "good person", but seeing that the little girl began to purse her lips again, Xiao Mian quickly changed the subject: "What... Qingguo! Your grandfather entrusted you to me before he died, but because of the complexity of things, I didn't care about you much. Look, I don't even know what your cultivation level is now..."

"Qingguo is stupid! I just opened up the twelfth meridian and entered the twelfth level of Qi training, but I am still a long way from the state of great perfection..."

"Oh! Only the twelfth level of Qi training! Only... what!? Say it again!"

"Qing... Qingguo, did you say something wrong?"

"How many meridians did you open up? Which level of Qi training did you enter?"

"The twelfth level of Qi training..." Seeing Xiao Mian's ferocious expression as if he was about to bite someone, Ye Qingguo's voice became lower and lower, but he didn't understand how his words offended Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian, who had come to his senses, tried to suppress the wild laughter of the ghost in his mind while trying to adjust his expression and emotions. At the same time, he couldn't help but criticize Ye Lao Hun: You said your granddaughter has already practiced Qi at the twelfth level. Is it necessary to find her a bodyguard like me who practices Qi at the eighth level?

Who is protecting whom in this fucking situation! ?

Resisting the urge to pull Ye Lao Hun out of the urn, Xiao Mian took a deep breath and looked at Ye Qingguo, who looked uneasy, and remained silent.

It was obvious that this little girl was well protected by the old fox Ye. She had cultivated to the twelfth level of the Qi training stage and was about to build a foundation, but she still looked ignorant of the world. Now he had a blood feud with her. If her enemy was not the golden flower python, it would be the Yuanxu Zhenren. No matter who it was, they were all masters at the foundation building stage. If he could help this little girl build a foundation as soon as possible, it would be a great help on his road to revenge...

Xiao Mian was thinking about it, but he didn't expect that Ye Qingguo's face became redder and redder under his gaze, his head lowered, and his heart became heavier.

Humph!

Grandpa was right. There is really no good man in the world!

Xiao Mian didn't know that he had successfully transformed from a "good guy" to a "bad guy". He made up his mind to win over Ye Qingguo and chatted casually.

"Qingguo! Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation? If you need anything, just tell me, I will definitely help you build your foundation as soon as possible!"

"No! Qingguo, there is no difficulty!"

"Then do you have anything special you want? I will buy it for you - of course, the premise is that I can afford it!"

"No! Something Qingguo didn't expect!"

"..."

Seeing Ye Qingguo looking at him with a vigilant face, Xiao Mian was quite suspicious.

Guitou, who had been a bystander from the beginning to the end, had almost laughed in his Qihai acupoint - you little fox, I told you not to be a good person!

Hahaha...

In the end, when the sun was setting, Xiao Mian didn't understand why Ye Qingguo's attitude towards him suddenly changed. When he asked Guitou, he only heard bursts of convulsive laughter. Although he keenly felt that something must have gone wrong, seeing that it was getting late, and thinking about the appointment with Wei Laohei at Zuixian Pavilion, Xiao Mian went out again.

It was the same Zuixian Pavilion, the same Liufeng Residence, the same Xiao Mian and Wei Laohei, the only difference was that there was a storage bag on the table between the two of them.

"Brother! I've done my job! I finally have some face in Lingchuan Market, and everyone is taking care of me. I heard that you are in a hurry to buy monster bones, and many sellers have taken out their treasured products..." Wei Laohei patted the storage bag casually, and after showing off his achievements, he changed the subject: "But... you should also know: suddenly buying monster bones in large quantities, those shameless guys will inevitably raise the price. Although I try my best to lower the price, but this price..."

"Spirit stones, not a problem!"

Accompanied by Xiao Mian's bold words, a bag of heavy spirit stones was thrown on the table by him, making a crisp sound.

Seeing Xiao Mian signaling him to open the storage bag, Wei Laohei smiled modestly, but his hands did not slow down at all. When he saw that there were at least a thousand low-grade spirit stones in the bag, his smile became more modest, and he pushed the previous storage bag in front of Xiao Mian.

"This bag of bones should not cost a thousand low-grade spirit stones, but there are quite a few animal bones with abundant spiritual energy in it, which I spent a lot of effort to get..., otherwise, I will return some spirit stones to you?"

A thousand low-grade spirit stones, for Wei Laohei, a local snake who mingled in Lingchuan Market, although it was considered a small fortune, it was not enough to make him tempted. However, Xiao Mian's style of spending money made Wei Laohei relax the last bit of suspicion in his heart.

How could a casual cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training have such a style?

I think that even if this brother Qingyun is not a disciple of the Demon Shadow Sect, he must be a person of great background. It is naturally beneficial to do good to him.

"Brother Wei, what are you talking about? If there are any spirit stones in this transaction, remember them first! You also know that my strength is limited. If I receive such a life-threatening sect mission in the future, I will still trouble Brother Wei!" Nodding to Wei Laohei, Xiao Mian continued: "Our transaction is not just this time or two. I still want to cooperate with you more and get closer to you. If you calculate so clearly, do you look down on me? Don't want to continue to cooperate with me?"

"How could it be!? Then... Brother, it would be disrespectful to refuse it?" Seeing that Xiao Mian had already calmly put the bag of animal bones into his sleeves, Wei Laohei also put away a bag of spirit stones, and then raised the wine glass and shouted: "Come on! Drink it!"

Xiao Mian sat with Wei Laohei for a while, and just as he stood up, Wei Laohei suddenly called him.

"Brother! I'm asking you something I shouldn't ask. What do you use this beast bone for?"

"This... sect mission, I only know why but not why!" After turning a blind eye and seeing Wei Laohei's expression of wanting to say something but not knowing why, Xiao Mian asked curiously: "Why? With our friendship, you can say whatever you want, brother!"

Even Wei Laohei, who has always been thick-skinned, felt a little uncomfortable with Xiao Mian's words: Our friendship? What kind of friendship do we have? Putting aside the complaints in his heart, Wei Laohei still considered it for a while, and then took Xiao Mian's hand and whispered.

"Oh? There will be a complete monster skeleton at the Lingchuan auction this time?"

After hearing Wei Laohei's whisper, even Xiao Mian, who was somewhat prepared, couldn't help but be stunned: I didn't expect that after ten months away, I would return to this Lingchuan market and just meet the auction on August 15th, and I didn't expect that there would be a complete monster skeleton at this auction.

Guitou once said that the effect of well-preserved monster skeletons is incomparable to scattered animal bones. If it is a complete animal bone of a high-level monster, basically one of them can allow Xiao Mian to complete the process of detoxification and marrow refining, and the effect is much better than piling up scattered animal bones.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What a coincidence! Before the auction, I have to leave Lingchuan Market..."
