Tang Baozhu found these seashells and conches quite interesting, especially their unusually large size, larger than two palms. These things are not common in the normal small world, so it would be good to store some in her space.
They simply bought all the conch shells from the stall without spending many spirit stones. After all, these things were useless and only for decoration; they were things that anyone could find with a little effort.
I collected all the seashells from the stall and moved on to the next stall.
I walked and browsed, buying anything that caught my eye.
About half an hour later, Tang Baozhu finally felt that different sensation.
She quickly stopped and waited for Xu Rui to come over. Fortunately, Xu Rui was not far away from her, only about a meter away. This distance was perfect so as not to disturb his wife's shopping and to let her enjoy herself. In case of any danger, she could also reach her instantly. It was the ideal distance.
Seeing his wife waiting for him, he knew something was wrong. He quickly walked a few steps to Baozhu's side and cast a spell so that no one could hear them talking.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Or have you discovered something new?"
"You're so smart, you guessed right away. See that stall at 90 degrees to the left? I feel something's different about that jade pendant. Although it looks like a jade pendant carved from scrap jade, my intuition is right, it's definitely a good thing."
Tang Baozhu was incredibly tempted after seeing the jade pendant, feeling that it must be a valuable item.
Xu Rui didn't look over there, worried that someone would discover it. He just glanced over with his divine sense and remembered what his wife was talking about.
"Let's go take a look. Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"Of course you'll protect me, after all, I'm carrying your child."
The two arrived at the stall, which was run by an elderly woman. After a casual glance, they noticed that despite her seemingly advanced age, she possessed a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
However, it seems that the fifth level of Qi Refining is her limit, considering her current age, it would definitely not be easy for her to break through.
Tang Baozhu pretended to be picky, glancing at this one that interested her and that one that interested her, making sure the stall owner didn't know what she was after.
Seeing that the stall owner was on the verge of exploding, she quickly took out the jade pendant she had initially set her sights on, "Then I'll take this one. How many spirit stones is it? It can't be too expensive, after all, the material of this jade isn't very good. I just like the color."
The stall owner, an elderly woman, had a stern face and didn't smile at all, unlike other stall owners who greet customers with smiles. The old woman's face looked like someone owed her millions, which is probably why her stall had so few customers.
"20 spirit stones. I won't change the price or haggle. Take it or leave it."
Although there seemed to be a lot of spirit stones, I didn't haggle at all because I knew there were good things inside the jade pendant.
"Husband, give me the spirit stone."
Tang Baozhu held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, unwilling to let go, fearing that it might be snatched away by someone else if she wasn't careful.
Just as the two were about to leave after paying the spirit stones, they were suddenly stopped by a woman dressed in white.
"Sister, I really like this jade pendant you have. How about I offer double the price and you sell it to me?"
Tang Baozhu rolled her eyes at her and asked, "How old are you this year?"
The woman in white was taken aback for a moment, but still said, "I am 38 years old this year, and my cultivation level is at the early stage of the Golden Core realm."
She said this with great pride. However, normally speaking, reaching the Golden Core stage at the age of 38 is indeed a sign of excellent aptitude. Unfortunately, she was being compared to herself.
"Oh, you're 38 years old! You're so old. Then you can't call me 'sister' anymore. I'm only 26, more than ten years younger than you. I really can't accept that title."
Unexpectedly, the woman in white was so flexible and adaptable. Her expression changed only for a moment before she quickly recovered. "I didn't expect her to be such a young girl. She has already reached the Golden Core stage at such a young age. Her aptitude must be very good."
While saying nice things, she quickly changed the subject and began to tentatively ask about the jade pendant, "I wonder if you could sell that jade pendant to me, sister? I'll offer three times the price."
"Oh, is that so? I don't want to sell it. Go find another jade pendant; you're sure to find one you like."
The woman in white, seeing that she was unwilling to sell, became anxious and said, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll pay five times the price. I really like that jade pendant, so I hope you'll part with it."
I already said I wasn't selling, but you kept pestering me. It's so annoying. "Ma'am, can't you understand human language? Haven't you heard I'm not selling? Why do you like it but I don't? If I don't like it, why would I buy it? If you have any sense, you should know that a gentleman doesn't take what others love. I've never seen such a shameless person as you."
These were very impolite words, and the woman in white was so angry that her face twisted in anger.
He was filled with hatred, wishing he could just draw his sword and stab Li Xue.
Unfortunately, she had to suppress her temper because of Xu Rui standing next to Li Xue. If it were her old temper, she would have already whipped him. But because she couldn't see Xu Rui's strength, she didn't dare to make a move, and she was also worried about kicking a hornet's nest, which would be difficult to explain later.
She could only look at Xu Rui with teary eyes, which disgusted Tang Baozhu, who was standing next to her. She looked like a hypocrite.
"What? Does this lady not want her eyes anymore? Or should I gouge them out for you?"
The woman in white burst into tears at any moment, as if she had suffered a great injustice, which was particularly infuriating to watch.
Xu Rui completely ignored the woman in white, so her tears were wasted because there was no one around who cared about her.
Moreover, the others around also knew what had happened. If they wanted something from someone else, they wouldn't act like this if the other person wasn't willing to sell. They didn't seem like cultivators at all.
Then Tang Baozhu discovered that people in the cultivation world weren't actually that many brainless people. Having lived to such an old age, what hadn't they seen and experienced?
Those seemingly innocent but actually manipulative women are incredibly perceptive. They think they're so clever, but in reality, others are just playing along.
Xu Rui looked at the crying woman in front of him and felt extremely impatient. His wife had finally decided to go out for a stroll and was enjoying herself, but there were always some ungrateful people who would ruin it.
