#104 - Cheng Yaojin shows up halfway

Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Chen.

"What? A celestial artifact? He's going to sell a celestial artifact?"

"A celestial artifact is something worthy of a top-tier auction house. How could he be so careless as to pawn it off?"

"Hiss—who exactly is this person?"

"'Star Cutter'? That's a very famous sword in the Nine Provinces. It disappeared three hundred years ago. It actually fell into his hands?"

"… …"

"Brother."

A red-haired man walked over.

"The celestial sword Star Cutter?"

Xiao Chen nodded.

"I am Huo Mingjie from Fire Cloud Manor."

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.

His luck was truly good.

He actually ran into the young master of the Fire Cloud Manor's Sect Lord directly.

"Brother Huo," Xiao Chen clasped his fist.

"Shall we step aside and have a chat?"

"Please."

The two then walked away under the gaze of the crowd.

Xu Fengqiu and some others silently followed.

They were also very high-profile, simply going to a tavern.

They ordered some dishes and fine wine.

Xu Fengqiu also ordered some at the next table.

Not for any other reason than to listen to Xiao Chen's innermost thoughts.

Huo Mingjie said, "So it's Brother Xiao Chen. A pleasure to meet you."

"Oh? Brother Huo recognizes me?"

Huo Mingjie smiled and said, "A year ago, I visited the Seven Heavens and paid a visit to the Langya Immortal Palace. I heard of Brother Xiao's great name. Young and without any background, he reached that level step by step, not inferior to Ye Feng."

"Brother Huo is too kind."

Huo Mingjie asked, "Star Cutter is a fifth-grade celestial artifact. It's so precious. Why does Brother Xiao want to sell it?"

Xiao Chen sighed and said, "Brother Huo, you should be able to see my condition."

"Yes, the injuries are not light."

Xiao Chen said, "Li Mufeng's mother was poisoned by Mo Qianqiu's Yin Sha Blood Poison. This young master gave her an antidote pill. How about that? They themselves made mistakes these days, causing Guo's death from poisoning, and put the blame on this young master. They truly fed their conscience to the dogs."

"I've also heard that the Northern Profound Dao Palace is looking for Brother Xiao everywhere. It's because of this reason."

Xiao Chen asked, "Brother Huo, do you believe my words?"

"Of course I believe you. This Li Mufeng is like Gu Changsheng, a hypocrite."

"Oh?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.

Huo Mingjie said, "He looks like a refined gentleman. You don't know, Xu Fengqiu and Fairy Lin are about to get married, and Li Mufeng actually went to find Fairy Lin. He probably said some dirty words and had his manhood cut off by Young Master Xu."

Xiao Chen: ! ! !

Xu Fengqiu!

It's Xu Fengqiu again?

Why are all of his shocking deeds?

"You tell me, should I believe Brother Xiao, who avenged his brother and didn't hesitate to hunt down the murderer for three months, or a hypocrite?" Huo Mingjie smiled.

Xiao Chen clasped his fist and said, "So there are still people in this world who understand reason. Thank you, Brother Huo."

Xu Fengqiu smiled in his heart not far away.

This isn't avenging his brother at all.

That person killed Xiao Chen's brother and took away something Xiao Chen had always wanted.

He killed him, but he actually did it for that thing.

And it spread throughout the Seven Heavens, saying that Xiao Chen was a righteous person.

"Brother Xiao, I've actually wanted to get to know you for a long time. Star Cutter is a celestial artifact. I don't want it. You keep it. Take this."

Huo Mingjie handed Xiao Chen a jade bottle.

"There are some pills inside. They may not be of great use, but they will definitely alleviate your injuries. You can come to Fire Cloud Manor with me, and I'll have the sect's doctor treat you."

Xiao Chen knew that this Huo Mingjie was indeed a righteous person.

He had a heroic dream in his heart.

He was the kind of character who eliminated evil and promoted good.

He wanted to use his sword to smooth out all the injustices in the world.

In his previous life, the Fire Cloud Manor obtained the Meteor Burst Spiritual Flame, which should have belonged to him.

But Huo Mingjie left this item to his younger brother.

Xiao Chen still had a very good impression of him.

And in Huo Mingjie's eyes, he believed that Xiao Chen and he were the same kind of person.

He had been paying attention to Xiao Chen for a long time.

"This… Brother Huo, then this Xiao will not be pretentious. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Actually, I believe Brother Xiao has another reason. Guo was bound to die. If Brother Xiao wanted to harm him, would he need to take action? There's no need to provoke Li Mufeng and the Northern Profound Dao Palace."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "That's right, that's the reason, so this young master is especially angry."

"Hahaha! To you!"

The two raised their glasses and drank together.

"Why is Brother Huo so good to me?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I admire you. Besides, isn't it good to have more like-minded brothers in this world?"

"Hahaha! Yes!"

Then Xiao Chen asked, "I wonder if I can ask Brother Huo for a favor?"

"Please speak."

"I came out in a hurry and don't have any Yuan Spirit Crystals on me. I need to refine pills, and it has become extremely difficult to use natural treasures to heal my injuries. I want to borrow some Yuan Spirit Crystals from Brother Huo, and I will definitely return them tenfold in the future."

Huo Mingjie handed him a spatial ring.

"Thank you!"

"Brother Xiao, why not come to Fire Cloud Manor with me?"

Xiao Chen said, "Alright."

"Hahaha! Good thing. Brother Xiao, please wait for me for half a day. There are still some things to do. This trip to Fire Cloud Manor will pass through the Dark Swamp. It's good for us to take care of each other."

"Good! But this Star Cutter, Brother Huo, you must take it," Xiao Chen said.

"Brother Xiao, there's no need. It's your sword."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No, I originally planned to exchange Star Cutter for some Yuan Spirit Crystals."

"Two hundred thousand high-grade Yuan Spirit Crystals, even if it's multiplied a hundred times, can't buy Star Cutter."

Xiao Chen said, "I still have to thank Brother Huo for going to Fire Cloud Manor."

"Hahaha! Good! Then I'll take Star Cutter."

Xiao Chen nodded.

It didn't matter.

This Star Cutter would eventually return to his hands.

… …

Huo Mingjie went to take care of his business first.

And Xiao Chen took the Yuan Spirit Crystals he gave him and came to the black market of Yangzhou City.

The so-called black market is full of people setting up stalls.

There are many things on the stalls, very miscellaneous, some are real and some are fake.

Most of these things are of unknown origin, or they were obtained by killing people and seizing treasures. They are useless to them, and staying on them is also a hidden danger, so they plan to sell them.

Xiao Chen urgently needed Yuan Spirit Crystals, not only to buy natural treasures to heal his injuries.

There is also an important reason.

There is something he wants in this black market.

In his previous life, he had a conversation with Ye Feng.

At that time, Ye Feng had already risen, achieving the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

He came to the Eighth Heaven, robbed Xu Fengqiu of his marriage, and then traveled around the Eighth Heaven with Jiang Qingxue.

Then he encountered a treasure in this black market.

This treasure is called the Chaos God Tablet.

This is the treasure of the Chaos God Clan in ancient times.

This carries the secrets of the Chaos God Clan.

Ye Feng was originally the body of Chaos.

This Chaos God Tablet was also the thing that helped him truly rise.

Therefore, Xiao Chen knew too well how precious this thing was.

Xu Fengqiu followed Xiao Chen to the black market.

Naturally, he also knew his purpose.

"Chaos God Tablet."

Xu Fengqiu was overjoyed in his heart.

It's good to be reborn.

He knows everything.

He killed Ye Feng and also obtained the body of Chaos.

Therefore, this Chaos God Tablet must also be Xu Fengqiu's thing.

Xiao Chen walked in the black market.

His eyes looked at the ancient treasures on each stall.

"Found it!"

Xiao Chen looked at the Chaos God Tablet on an old man's stall.

It was actually just a stone, which looked very simple.

There are some very profound lines on it.

"There's nothing good," Xiao Chen said deliberately.

The old man glanced at him and said, "All of my stalls are old things, at least a hundred years old, and at most tens of thousands of years old. You say there's nothing good?"

Xiao Chen said lightly, "They are all useless things, deceiving laymen, only this rusty sword looks extraordinary."

Huo Mingjie gave him two hundred thousand Yuan Spirit Crystals.

He was afraid that the old man would make a big opening, and his Yuan Spirit Crystals would not be enough.

"Then do you want it?"

Xu Fengqiu walked over and asked, "How many Yuan Spirit Crystals is this stone tablet? I'll buy it."

Xiao Chen: ? ? ?
