Chapter 5
Xie Yi happily returned to his residence, holding the porcelain vase. He straightened his clothes, then carefully knocked on the door and called out softly, "Junior Sister Liuying?"
The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Liuying raised her little face, and her watery eyes immediately caught Xie Yi's eyes.
Xie Yi felt his face getting slightly hot. Before he could say anything, he heard Junior Sister Liuying's soft and tender voice, like a kitten.
"Senior Brother?"
The word "simple" made Xie Yi's heart surge.
Xie Yi coughed lightly, quickly suppressed her blushing face, and handed over the porcelain bottle containing the Rejuvenating Pill in her arms.
"Ahem, here! Junior sister, this is the anti-aging pill that Senior Brother promised you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Junior Sister Liuying's excited voice was heard.
"Wow, senior brother! You are so awesome!" The shopkeeper of Jubao Pavilion said that there was no more Rejuvenating Pills. She really thought that this time she would return empty-handed by sneaking down the mountain. For this reason, she had been in a bad mood in the room just now. She never expected that her senior brother could get it so quickly!
Xie Yi looked at Junior Sister Liuying's admiring eyes, and he couldn't help but straighten his back to make himself look taller and more handsome.
He patted his chest and said, "I promised you, Junior Sister, that no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it for you. Junior Sister, quickly open it and take it."
Liuying gave a shy look of gratitude and nodded: "Senior brother is the best to Liuying! Thank you, senior brother!"
Liuying suppressed the disgust in her heart and ignored Xie Yi's explicit look. She held the porcelain bottle in her left hand and made a gesture with her right hand. After a while, the porcelain bottle slowly floated in the air and opened automatically. The pills in the bottle floated towards Liuying.
Xie Yi knew that this was a spell cast by her junior sister to block out the smell. After all, they were still at the foot of the mountain, and the Rejuvenating Pill was priceless...
Xie Yi rubbed his hands secretly, feeling very happy.
After taking the Rejuvenating Pill, Junior Sister will definitely thank him...
Should I just ask her to be my Taoist partner?
Liuying stared blankly at the pill lying in the palm of her hand. She put the pill in front of her nose, moved her nose slightly, sniffed it lightly, and frowned slightly.
Why does the fragrance of this Rejuvenating Pill sound so similar to the fragrance of the Fasting Pill?
Xie Yi didn't know what was going on. He just saw that Junior Sister Liuying hadn't taken the Rejuvenating Pill yet, so he couldn't help but urge her, "Junior Sister, take the Rejuvenating Pill quickly."
When Liuying heard Xie Yi's urging, she looked at Xie Yi in surprise and found that there was nothing wrong with the other party's expression. The Xie family was so big that they would definitely not make a mistake in distinguishing between the Rejuvenating Pill and the Fasting Pill.
Perhaps, the scent of the pills is similar, but the effects are different.
Liuying prepared herself in her heart, raised her head and swallowed the pill.
She didn't know if the pill was working, but she felt a burning sensation in her dantian and a bloated stomach...
Liuying waved her hand and the spell she had cast was removed.
Xie Yi strode over and began to flatter.
"Junior Sister Liuying is already as beautiful as a fairy. Now, with the Anti-aging Pill, Junior Sister will be able to retain her youthfulness and beauty forever!"
Liuying was very pleased to hear this. She put her white and tender hand on her chin. She even looked at Xie Sheng, who she usually didn't want to look at, twice for this rare occasion: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Ye Lan, who was happily shopping for new equipment in the distance, had no idea that Liuying's unintentional move allowed him to secretly replace the Rejuvenating Pill with the Fasting Pill without being discovered by Xie Yi.
Ye Lan picked out a weapon that suits him in the Treasure Pavilion. He shook the axe in his hand, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Ye Lan slammed the axe down on the table. Shopkeeper Wang was startled by the sudden appearance of the axe. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the culprit open his mouth to speak.
"Boss, I want this axe. By the way, do you have a soft sword?"
When Shopkeeper Wang heard that someone was finally going to buy this broken axe that hadn't been sold for a hundred years, he instantly felt a little more familiar with Ye Lan. His expression quickly changed, and he said, "Soft sword? This young man has a very good eye. We in Jubao Pavilion actually have a soft sword. Wait a moment, young man, I'll go get it for you right away."
As Shopkeeper Wang spoke, he began to search on the shelf behind him.
Ye Lan was not in a hurry either. He leaned against the table as if he had no bones, tapping the table with one hand intermittently.
Shopkeeper Wang was very quick. After Ye Lan had only taken five or six glances, he returned to the table.
Shopkeeper Wang passed the soft sword in his hand towards Ye Lan, "Sir, please look, this is the soft sword I was talking about."
"Sir, don't be fooled by the ordinary appearance of this sword. It is said that it was once a top-grade spiritual weapon. However, after experiencing a great calamity in the immortal world, its spirit dissipated, its edge was damaged, and its grade decreased. It is obvious that you are no ordinary person. If you have a great opportunity in the future and find the right materials and spirit, perhaps one day this soft sword will be able to return to the top of the top-grade spiritual weapons."
Ye Lan flipped the soft sword back and forth in his hands. He listened to what Shopkeeper Wang said for a long time and retorted impatiently.
"What are you talking about, boss? To restore the power of the ultimate spiritual weapon, I'm afraid it will cost countless treasures from heaven and earth. The spiritual energy in the fairy world is scarce now. We don't even know if we have the chance to ascend to the upper realm. This is all empty talk. I'm going to be honest. I'll take these two for 200 low-grade spirit stones."
Shopkeeper Wang: “…”
He didn't even name a price, and you started bargaining?
Shopkeeper Wang angrily snatched back the soft sword and said, "Little brother, this is not the right way to bid. I haven't even made an offer yet, and you're already cutting it!"
Ye Lan was not in a hurry. He lightly swept his finger across the axe. After a while, a white horizontal line appeared on the black axe.
"Tsk tsk tsk, looking at the dust, it must have been in the warehouse for at least a hundred years..."
Ye Lan clapped his hands, his eyes showing a hint of disgust.
"A dusty axe and a broken soft sword. Shopkeeper, take them out and let passersby see them. If anyone offers more than me, I'll give you a hundred low-grade spirit stones, or I'll tear my head off and let you kick it like a ball. Just tell me whether you want to sell them or not. If not, I'll leave."
Ye Lan imitated the bargaining posture of a modern mother in her previous life and started walking towards the door.
Counting 1, 2, 3 in my heart...
Sure enough, just after the third sound fell, I heard the angry voice of Manager Wang behind me.
"Hey, hey, hey, little brother, give me more, give me more! I'll sell it to you for 250 low-grade spirit stones!"
Ye Lan turned around and looked at Shopkeeper Wang. Why was there still someone rushing to do something stupid? Did he ask too much?
Ye Lan opened his mouth slightly, but Shopkeeper Wang reacted quickly and shut him up with one sentence.
"It's just two hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones, no negotiation."
Ye Lan's eyes rolled, he thought about it and ran back happily. He took out two hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and placed them in front of Shopkeeper Wang. He waved his hand and collected the axe and soft sword on the table.
