Chapter 26: Vulnerable
"How much tael did you say?" The stall owner wondered if he had heard wrongly.
In the past, he had met other spiritual plant owners who bargained, but he had never heard of anyone who bargained so hard.
"Two taels." Chen Mo repeated again.
It would be great if he could buy things with the least money.
"Good fellow." The other party curled his lips, "Others at most cut in half, but you cut directly by the feet!"
"Just asking if you can sell it?"
"Eight taels, let you two taels."
Chen Mo turned around and left.
Gengjin Yizhi is not a rare commodity. His family does not sell it. Other vendors sell it.
The boss tried to persuade him to stay twice, but Chen Mo pretended not to hear it.
Finally, after asking several vendors in a row, he finally succeeded in buying a book of "Gengjin Yizhi" spell at the price of five taels of spiritual sand.
Five taels of spiritual sand is a small amount for Chen Mo now.
But for ordinary spiritual plant husbands at the first and second levels of Qi Refining, it is also a considerable expense. Before spending these spiritual sands, you have to ask yourself, do you have the Qigong pills? Do you have the spiritual sands for cultivation?
Holding the spells that I just took out in my arms, if nothing unexpected happens, this year's trip to the market has come to an end.
Sixty-two taels of spiritual sands are enough even if they are squandered like last year.
Now, all I have to do is to hurry back home and start the new year's cultivation journey!
Passing through the streets paved with bluestone slabs, Chen Mo quickly pushed the cart to the entrance of the market.
The snow that had stopped for two days fell again, and the sky and the earth were vast, like a fairyland.
Not long after leaving the market, Chen Mo realized something!
He was being followed!
Obviously, there was a qi that had been locking on him. When he turned around, he didn't see anyone in his sight.
Just this skill alone made Chen Mo feel bad.
The other party's realm is only higher than his own!
He pushed the cart and kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind! At this moment, he also guessed that when he entered the market just now, two people had paid special attention to him.
If nothing unexpected happened, these two people should be the robbers who wanted to rob him halfway yesterday!
Unexpectedly, they avoided him yesterday, but they still didn't give up today!
They actually changed their strategy and came to bet on him?
At this moment, a sentence suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind: "One robber head for 10 taels of spiritual sand."
Suddenly, he stopped.
This action made Zhu An, who had been quietly following him, stop.
He thought: 'Why don't you leave? '
Soon, in his perception, the other party actually pushed the cart back again, and in less than half a cup of tea, the person entered the market again.
This made Zhu An a little at a loss.
Follow or not?
He quickly found Lin Qing on the other side, and soon, the two came to the conclusion that this kid should have gone back to the market to buy things.
As early as the moment Chen Mo left the market, they found him.
He also recognized at a glance that this was the little spiritual plant husband who was protected by Old Lady Wang last year!
Such a weak boy naturally couldn't find their movements, so returning to the market, in their opinion, was naturally forgetting something.
They waited and waited for another half an hour.
Finally, the spiritual plant husband who had bothered Lin Qing and Zhu An for more than a year appeared again pushing a cart.
He walked back along the return road, and Lin Qing asked Zhu An to follow quietly.
After walking about seven or eight miles, Zhu An, who had some fat on his face, finally couldn't hold back and jumped out of the woods not far away!
"I opened this road, this tree is mine..."
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling sword light flew from the horizon.
The next moment, Zhu An, who had not yet reacted, had his head dropped to the ground.
This robbery cultivator never understood until his death how a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining could follow him!
The cold light converged, and Wei Wuwei walked out slowly with his hands behind his back in the vast land.
He sneered at the body with its head and body torn apart on the ground. After a moment, he said, "I wondered who was so bold as to come to Guchen Market to rob. It turns out he was just a spiritual plant farmer."
Wei Wuwei realized that he had thought wrong.
He even robbed a spiritual plant farmer. How could he be a high-level and powerful cultivator?
Even so, he actually mobilized a large number of troops and asked him to come in person?
"Thank you, Boss Wei, for your help!"
Chen Mo bowed, but the other party didn't care.
He came to the corpse and touched the other party's waist casually. Sure enough, he found a sachet.
He weighed it and found more than ten taels of spiritual sand.
He was so poor.
Wei Wuwei, who was originally looking to make a fortune, suddenly lost interest and turned around and left with the ten taels of spiritual sand.
Looking at his back as he left, Chen Mo finally didn't mention the ten taels of spiritual sand.
The manager of the Niu family shop was a smiling and easy-going person on the surface, but in fact, like other casual cultivators in the market, he looked down on them, the spiritual plant husbands.
It was obviously not very wise to mention the reward at this time.
Chen Mo felt something was wrong.
In the morning, there were two people whispering outside the market, but there was only one person following him!
Does that mean that there is still one person who has not appeared?
If so, it means that the crisis has not been resolved! He must return home as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo pushed the cart and kept moving forward in the heavy snow.
The ruts and footprints behind him were gradually covered by the heavy snow, and soon, the road was covered with snow again.
…
Lin Qing waited for a while, but still couldn't see Zhu An. Not long after, he saw Wei Wuwei, the manager of Niu's shop, who came back from outside.
He didn't realize that there was something wrong with this person's appearance, but wondered if Zhu An would take all the resources of the fat sheep for himself?
You know, he was the one who kept the resources every time he robbed.
Then Lin Qing slapped his head and cursed himself for being stupid!
"Just thinking about it without working, forgetting is no good!" Lin Qing was sure that the guy must have secretly taken the benefits, which was why he didn't come back.
He looked at the sky. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. If it continued like this, the ruts on the road would be covered.
So he quickened his pace and chased after him.
But he didn't walk far before he saw a headless corpse on the side of the road. The clothes of the corpse were very familiar...
If this is not Zhu An, who else could it be?
This scene made Lin Qing, who was just thinking about the benefits, pale and panicked.
For someone who could easily chop off Zhu An's head, wouldn't it be the same to chop off a chicken for him to kill himself?
"I...we, what...what kind of person did we offend?" He even began to tremble as he spoke.
But soon, Lin Qing recovered.
"No! That guy just went back to the market to get help!"
After realizing that they were tricked, he was immediately furious.
"The helper he called should be Boss Wei from the Niu Family Shop... So, the other party should think there is only one person, otherwise Wei Wuwei would not have returned to the market..."
Although Lin Qing was angry, he was not so angry that he was overwhelmed.
After careful analysis, he had a high probability of coming to a conclusion at this moment!
Chase!
Chase quickly!
