717. Chapter 717 Nalan Yanran Is Next Door (1/2)
Xiao Yan looked at the taciturn old man, felt the fear in his eyes, and felt slightly enlightened.
This old man must have suffered a lot of fright before, perhaps it was related to the fighting skills in this glacier valley.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan asked softly.
"Old man, what do you want to change to the Ice Valley fighting skills? Pills? Pill recipes? Or other attributes of the fighting skills?"
After coming to Zhongzhou for so long, Xiao Yan was used to bartering for these high-level things, and he didn't even think about guessing at the top of the gold coins, because usually those who sell such things would not be short of money.
"No, no, no! Old man, I don't want those things." The old man waved his hands repeatedly with a very frightened expression, "I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything about cultivation. All I want is money."
These words made Xiao Yan have some doubts in his eyes. After careful inspection, he found that the flow of fighting spirit in the old man's body was indeed very small. According to his experience, the old man was only a fighter at the beginning, and the fighting spirit in his body may not have flowed for decades. After that, the meridians are almost useless, and the remaining fighting energy can probably be used as a Najie.
Why does such an old man have the fighting skills of Glacier Valley?
Although Xiao Yan felt strange, he still did not ask why the old man had the fighting skills of the Glacier River Valley. Instead, he asked with a smile.
"Old man, how much do you want?"
"One, one million?"
The old man raised a trembling finger. It could be seen at a glance that he was afraid that Xiao Yan would not accept this number, but it was obvious that the old man was overthinking.
But anything related to cultivation is not cheap. As long as the level of fighting skills is not too low, selling a volume of fighting skills for one million in Zhongzhou is really cheap.
Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard the old man's quotation, and even Hai Bodong, who was riding on his neck, stopped chewing an apple.
Hai Bodong's horizons were broadened during the years he spent in the Black Corner Territory. The fighting skills of a big force like Glacier River Valley could not be sold for three or four million in the Black Corner Territory, right? Is the old man's offer too implicit?
After a while, Xiao Yan came back to his senses and smiled helplessly.
"Old man, you may not understand the market of fighting skills, this price"
"I, I can lower it further, as long as five hundred thousand!"
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, the old man quickly lowered the price on his own initiative. Not only did he not know the value of the fighting skills themselves, but the more reason was that he only wanted to sell the fighting skills in the Ice River Valley for himself. It’s just about earning some living expenses in your life, it doesn’t necessarily have to be sold for a lot of money.
Now that he finally met someone like Xiao Yan who took the initiative to inquire, the old man certainly didn't want to let him go. He quickly sold his fighting skills so that he could leave here and hide in a small county with no corners to avoid running into that man again. The devil.
The old man's initiative to lower the price made Xiao Yan burst into laughter and raised his hands slightly.
"Old man, you have misunderstood. I am saying that your price is too low. If you really spend one million to buy the fighting skills in Glacier Valley, I am afraid that I will have uneasy conscience." Xiao Yan paused and then said: "Let's do this, old man, because I don't know the level of that fighting skill, but after all, it is the fighting skill of Glacier Valley, and it must not be much lower. I will give you three million to buy the fighting skill. What do you think? "
The old man was stunned when he heard Xiao Yan calling himself a junior to a useless old man. Then he heard that Xiao Yan, as a buyer of fighting skills, took the initiative to raise the price to three million. His old face was full of fear. believe.
While he was stunned, Xiao Yan had already handed him a Nai Ring.
"Old man, there are exactly three million gold coins in this ring. You can count the number."
The old man came back to his senses and quickly shook his head when he saw Xiao Yan's sincere behavior.
“No need so much”
"Old man, please accept it, just so that I can have a good sleep."
Xiao Yan spoke to comfort him again, which made the old man couldn't help but shed tears and sniffed sharply.
Thinking about how he has been a handyman in Glacier Valley for so many years, which disciple of Glacier Valley treats him as a human being?
In the past few years since leaving the Glacier Valley, I have been helpless and without strong strength. In Zhongzhou, where the jungle thrives on the strong, almost everywhere I go I am disliked by people. Even the old man once thought that he might as well just die. never mind.
Xiao Yan was the only one who could show respect and kindness to him despite his obvious strength, which moved the old man deeply.
Not many people can handle being exposed to cold all the time and suddenly encountering warmth.
"This young hero, I am the old man"
The old man said nothing for a long time, then took out the very simple Na ring in his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"Young hero, this is the fighting skill of Glacier Valley. Take it, old man, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, the old man stood up tremblingly and prepared to turn around and leave. Although he was touched by Xiao Yan's sincere actions, the psychological shadow of the female devil still lingered in the old man's heart. Now that the items have been sold out, leave as soon as possible. That's it.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's voice came from behind, causing the old man to stagnate suddenly. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yan with a serious expression in fear, and asked timidly and tentatively.
"Young hero, it is indeed expensive. I will return the money to you right now."
"Old man, don't be afraid."
Seeing the old man trembling with fright at his words, Xiao Yan felt helpless. What had this old man encountered before?
Xiao Yan immediately looked serious, holding the ancient ring in his hand and shook it lightly at the old man.
It's not that there is nothing in the ring, on the contrary, there are too many things in it.
Xiao Yan thought it was just one volume of fighting skills, but he didn't expect it to be dozens of volumes! From yellow level to earth level, this must have emptied the fighting skills library of Glacier Valley, right?
This made Xiao Yan very curious about the old man's identity, but Xiao Yan still didn't ask. Anyway, Glacier Valley had been destroyed long ago, so he was not afraid of other people coming to cause trouble.
"Old man, the three million I just gave you is just the money for a volume of fighting skills." Xiao Yan looked a little helpless, "I thought you were only selling one volume of fighting skills, but I didn't expect there were so many, so the three million is far from enough."
Those Glacier Valley fighting skills are not counted as yellow level and black level. Those few volumes of Glacier Valley earth level fighting skills alone can be auctioned for 60 to 70 million in the Black Horn Region. This is because the ice attribute fighting skills themselves are not very versatile, and it is possible to go up to several hundred million.
The old man was confused again after hearing what Xiao Yan said, and Hai Bodong, who was riding on Xiao Yan's neck, was also speechless.
This kid really hasn't changed at all, and only he can do such a thing.
Xiao Yixian, who had been listening behind him, smiled helplessly. After so many years, Xiao Yan's personality was still exactly the same as when they first met.
Cao Ying and Gu Qinghan looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment. No matter who they were, they had never seen Xiao Yan do such a thing. Cao Ying leaned close to Xiao Yixian's ear with a tangled face.
"Xiao Yixian, what is Xiao Yan doing?"
"Just get used to it, I'm used to it anyway." Xiao Yixian curled her lips helplessly and warned Cao Ying: "If you don't get used to it quickly, you will be pissed off by this guy sooner or later."
After listening to Xiao Yixian's words, Cao Ying recalled the situation in Danta when Xiao Yan argued with the three giants because he didn't want to accept privileges, and nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, Xiao Yan asked the old man to return the ring he had given him earlier. The old man didn't come back to his senses for a while, and handed it to Xiao Yan woodenly. After a while, Xiao Yan returned it.
"Old man, I put more than 7 million gold coins in this ring, a total of more than 10 million." Xiao Yan looked at the old man's shocked eyes and said softly: "Of course, this is far from the value of these fighting skills, but this is all the money I have. I will find another way to compensate you."
"Baiyu City happens to have a Warcraft convoy leading to the Black Horn Region. If you don't mind, you can settle in the Black Horn Region." Xiao Yan took out a token from the ring and handed it to the old man. The little doctor behind him glanced at it and recognized that it was the token of the evil prison. "When you arrive, you can give this token to the leader of the Eight Gates, Yuan Yi, and report Xiao Yan's name. He will naturally help you arrange it."
Xiao Yan saw that the old man looked very shabby and unkempt. He could tell at a glance that he had not lived in the house for a long time, so he said such words.
Black Horn Region?
The old man frowned slightly. Although he had been living in the Glacier Valley for so many years and didn't know much about the mainland, he had heard of the bad reputation of the Black Horn Region. At least it was not a place suitable for ordinary people to live.
Xiao Yan naturally saw the old man's concerns and explained softly.
"Please rest assured that the current Black Horn Region is completely different from the past. If you have no worries in Zhongzhou, you can go there to live a stable life. I assure you that it is definitely more suitable for ordinary people to live there than Zhongzhou."
Xiao Yan's eyes were so sincere that the old man's hesitation began to waver. After a long time, he nodded heavily.
"Okay! I will trust you once!"
The old man reached out and took the token. Anyway, even if he had money, his original plan was to find a small county in Zhongzhou and live timidly. Maybe one day he would be treated as dust by a passing strong man. In this case, it would be better to listen to Xiao Yan and go to the Black Horn Region to take a look.
Just because Xiao Yan stopped him from adding money, the old man was willing to believe that Xiao Yan was not a despicable person who liked to play tricks on others.
"This young man, I would like to thank you here. My name is Lu Yi. If we are destined to meet next time, I hope my old bones can live to that time."
The old man named Lu Yi bowed his head slightly to thank Xiao Yan. Before Xiao Yan could help him up, Lu Yi turned around and left, disappearing in the crowd.
After Lu Yi left, Hai Bodong, who was riding on Xiao Yan's neck, spoke speechlessly.
"Xiao Yan, you really haven't changed at all."
"Senior Hai Bodong, I think these fighting skills can be bought for only 10 million. In any case, I am taking advantage of it, right?"
Xiao Yan smiled and handed the ring to Hai Bodong. Hai Bodong took it and took a casual look at it, and then nodded helplessly.
"You're right. It's a great bargain to buy these fighting skills for only 10 million." Then Hai Bodong threw the ring to Xiao Yixian, "Girl, take it. When you go back this time, you will have new things to practice. These ice-attributed fighting skills are much more powerful than my fighting skills." Although Hai Bodong was unhappy with what he said, it was the fact. After all, Ren Binghe Valley was a big force in Zhongzhou. It was normal for a lone ice-attributed practitioner like him to be unable to compete with them. There was nothing shameful about it.
Xiao Yixian was also happy to check it after taking it. She was worried about becoming stronger. Now she could get so many ice-attributed fighting skills. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Then Xiao Yan and his group continued to stroll on the street. This time, they didn't encounter anything worth buying. They came to the door of the Yun family.
"Uh"
Xiao Yan's brows twitched slightly, looking at the dense crowd gathered at the door of Yun's house. It was obvious that they couldn't squeeze in. At this time, the little medical fairy beside him opened his mouth to explain in time.
"This time, the Yun family seems to have sent invitation letters to almost all the forces in Zhongzhou. In recent years, the Yun family's reputation has become more and more widespread, and many small and large forces are rushing to seek connections."
"That's true. But it's up to me."
Xiao Yan pressed his neck, and the little medical fairy looked at him.
"What should we do? Should we wait? Or should we just let people go in to find Yunying?"
"No, Yunying is probably quite busy right now, so I won't disturb her for now."
Xiao Yan said this, making the little medical fairy look helpless.
No matter how busy Yunying is, as long as you come here she will definitely put off everything and come here to meet you in person.
Although the little medical fairy has some inexplicable resistance to Yunying, it has to be said that Yunying sincerely likes Xiao Yan. There is no doubt about this.
"Let's find a place to live first."
Xiao Yan said and turned around to leave the Yun family, followed by the three Little Medical Immortals.
At this time, Haibodong glanced at the setting sun, jumped down while holding Xiao Yan's head, and waved his hand towards Xiao Yan.
"You guys can find a place to stay, and I'll go find a tavern for a drink."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Yan's reply, Hai Bodong walked away with his short legs.
On the one hand, Haibodong wanted to try Zhongzhou's wine. The most important thing was that a place like the tavern could get a lot of unexpected information. This was Haibodong's habit.
Looking at Hai Bodong's retreating back, Xiao Yan and others were speechless, and the little medical fairy couldn't help but complain.
"I hope Senior Haibodong won't be stopped at the door."
"Probably not"
Xiao Yan was ashamed. There shouldn't be any rules in Zhongzhou's taverns that don't allow children to enter, right?
Xiao Yan then took the three of them to find a hotel to stay in for the night, but the process was not so smooth.
"Sorry, we are already full here."
"I'm really sorry, there are no more rooms."
"No, no! All the rooms have been booked these days!"
"sorry"
I went to several hotels one after another, but was told that there were no rooms. This was not surprising. Looking at the grand scene of Baiyu City, I knew that there must be many people staying here temporarily in the past few days. It was normal that there were no rooms.
(There is no other way. Let’s look for it again. If it doesn’t work, we can only give up and ask Yunying for help.)
Xiao Yan thought this way, and the group entered a hotel again. This time they were lucky, there was still a room available, but
"A heroine just booked a room, and now there are only two rooms left."
The front desk of the hotel said this, and Xiao Yan began to make calculations in his mind.
There are two rooms. I and the Little Medical Fairy can live in one room, and Cao Ying and Gu Qinghan can live in one room, which is just right.
"Let's stay here tonight, right? From the looks of it, there probably won't be any rooms in other hotels. The Little Medical Fairy and I will stay in one room, and Cao Ying and Gu Qinghan will stay in the same room. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yan turned to the three people for advice, and all three nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan paid the money. When paying, the front desk smiled at Xiao Yan with a teasing smile.
"Sir, please rest assured, our room is very soundproofed."
"Um, thank you."
Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, then took the door key, and the four of them went upstairs together.
As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he saw a room door that happened to be closed. Xiao Yan just glanced at it and started looking for it according to the house number. He found that it happened to be two connected rooms next to the room door that had just been closed.
"These are the two rooms. Let's go to bed early tonight."
Xiao Yan was about to hand one of the keys to Cao Ying when the little medical fairy on the side suddenly grabbed it. Just when Xiao Yan and the other three were surprised, the little medical fairy gave the key to Gu Qinghan.
"Miss Qinghan, you can sleep in that room alone tonight, and Cao Ying will share the same room with us."
"Eh?"
Xiao Yan and Cao Ying were suddenly stunned. Before they could say anything, the little medical fairy dodged the key in Xiao Yan's hand, opened the door and pushed them in, waving to Gu Qinghan who was standing outside the door.
"Miss Qinghan, go to bed early~"
Snapped!
Looking at the closed door, Gu Qinghan's expression was very subtle. Then he took the key to the next door and opened the door. After closing the door, he started to look at it. Although it was not very luxurious, it was still a good room.
Then, when Gu Qinghan was about to undress, he suddenly heard a voice coming from next door.
"Cao Ying, let me help you take off your clothes~"
Is this the voice of the Little Medical Fairy?
Gu Qinghan was suddenly startled. The soundproofing of this hotel was indeed good, but it could not withstand the hearing of practitioners.
"Wait, I'll do it myself~~~Don't touch it!"
"I've wanted to give it a try for a long time. I originally wanted to do it with Feng Qing'er, but since it's your turn, let's practice with you first."
"Eaaah!"
What Gu Qinghan heard was that his face was full of black lines. Did the little medical fairy have this kind of personality?
"Wow! You are much bigger than me!"
"No, don't pinch~"
"That one over there, I've held it down for you, why are you still standing there? Come on!"
Gu Qinghan slapped his forehead suddenly. He couldn't think of being safe tonight.
Little did he know that in the next door, a woman who was preparing to take a rest also heard the thought-provoking voice coming from next door, and her brows were slightly frivolous.
It is Xiao Yan's fiancée, Nalan Yanran, who is called a rabid dog by all the forces in Zhongzhou!
"Another couple, no, it seems like three people?"
Nalan Yanran heard three voices from the noisy cries, one man and two women, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the voices of one man and one woman sounded familiar to her.
However, Nalan Yanran threw her doubts behind her in just a moment. There were so many people with the same voice, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Nalan Yanran threw her clothes on the chair next to her, lay on the bed with a smile on her face, and made a very comfortable breathing sound.
Although she had long been accustomed to the wild, she would naturally be willing to sleep on a soft bed.
As for the noise next door, Nalan Yanran had encountered it when she stayed in a hotel before, and it would not affect her sleep at all, not to mention that compared with sleeping in the wild, she had to turn a blind eye, this was nothing.
Nalan Yanran reached out and pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly, curled up, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
Perhaps it was the influence of the sound from next door that caused Nalan Yanran, who had fallen asleep, to see the man she had been thinking about day and night.
At the same time, a voice came from next door.
"Xiao Yan. Try harder!"
Unfortunately, Nalan Yanran, who was already asleep, did not notice anything wrong at all. She smiled and murmured softly.
"Xiao Yan. Wait for me." (End of this chapter)
