"Haha, brat, how can I not know what you are thinking? I can see that you are just trying to fool me." Zhao Changtian said to Zhao Xin, "Feel your own soul power."
Hmm~
After listening to Zhao Changtian's words, Zhao Xin immersed himself in the circulation of his own soul power and found that his soul power, which had become somewhat frivolous due to the absorption of the fourth soul ring and the external soul bone, had become more solid. "So this is my father's true intention."
"You feel it, right? After this trial, it will help you quickly master the new power." Looking at Zhao Xin's admiring look, Zhao Changtian certainly couldn't tell him that this was just one of his thoughts. The most important thing was that he really wanted to beat him.
"Father, you hit me too hard. You hit me in the face." Zhao Xin touched his swollen face. "It hurts so much."
"Ahem, your soul power has been basically consumed in the battle just now. Take a rest quickly, we'll be back soon." Zhao Changtian looked at Zhao Xin's originally handsome face which was beaten like a pig's head, and he quickly changed the subject with a guilty conscience.
"Yeah, okay." Zhao Xin never thought that his father had so many little thoughts. Instead, he developed admiration for his father. Without thinking too much, he sat cross-legged to recover his soul power.
An hour later, Zhao Xin slowly opened his eyes. His soul power had recovered to its best level. The wound on his face also returned to its original appearance within an hour because Zhao Changtian had shown mercy.
"I'm ready, let's go." Zhao Xin said to Zhao Changtian who was waiting on the side.
"Let's go." Zhao Changtian strode ahead.
What was different from when they were with Xu Jiujiu was that the two of them were obviously much faster, and soon they returned to the small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Go wash up quickly." Zhao Changtian and his companion walked into a restaurant and said to Zhao Xin.
The father and son were already dirty after fighting the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and each other. Although there were spare clothes in the storage soul guide, a comfortable hot bath would help relieve their fatigue.
"Come and eat something. I haven't had any good food to eat while protecting you in the Xingdou Great Forest these days." Zhao Changtian said to Zhao Xin first. Although as a Title Douluo, absorbing soul power can keep him from getting hungry for a few days, and he also has dried meat and other things, it's still not as comfortable as the hot meals made in the restaurant.
"After being exposed to the elements for such a long time, I only treated myself to a good meal yesterday when I sent off Xu Jiujiu." Zhao Xin nodded in agreement. He also stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than ten days.
"After dinner, let's take a nap, and then we'll set off back to Shrek City. Is there anything you want to buy in town?" Zhao Changtian told Zhao Xin about his next plan. After being out for such a long time, Zhao Xin's two tasks have been completed. After returning to the Zhao Mansion to rest for a few days, it will be time for school to start.
"Father, it's up to you to decide. I have no problem with that." Zhao Xin thought carefully and realized that he really didn't need to buy anything here. However, he could go and see if he could find any bargains later.
Zhao Xin and his son finished their lunch at a leisurely pace. Zhao Changtian said something to Zhao Xing and went upstairs to sleep. Zhao Changtian had not rested much during the past few days because he had to take care of Zhao Xin day or night. So he was still a little tired.
After Zhao Changtian went upstairs, Zhao Xin did not stay in the hotel for long. He came out of the hotel and walked towards the nearest street market, where people who came back from the Xingdou Great Forest would sell their spoils.
If you are extremely lucky, you will buy something extremely precious at a very low price. The Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow that Zhao Xin gave to Ma Xiaotao was bought from a street stall, and the stall owner mistook it for Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice. The difference of one word makes a world of difference between the two.
Zhao Xin walked to the entrance of the market with a leisurely expression. Before he went in, a noisy sound hit Zhao Xin's ears.
"It's on sale. Armor made from thousand-year-old rhino hide."
"Your stuff is so expensive, make it cheaper."
......
Zhao Xin looked at the commotion in front of him and suddenly felt like he was back in the vegetable market in his previous life. Shaking his head, Zhao Xin drove away the distracting thoughts from his mind and strode into the market.
Zhao Xin walked along the street, carefully observing every stall, hoping to find some good stuff. In fact, with Zhao Xin's wealth and status, it was already difficult for him to find something useful. After all, as the next patriarch of the Zhao family, he could basically use anything in the Zhao family that was useful to him. What Zhao Xin cared about more was the process of picking up bargains.
This process of observing every stall, bargaining with the stall owner, and discovering the treasures covered in dust is what Zhao Xin needs. Zhao Xin enjoys this kind of happiness, which is also one of the few pleasures in his busy training, which can relieve his mood after the intense training.
Zhao Xin walked slowly on the bluestone-paved street, squatting down at a small stall from time to time to ask about the price. However, the people here, seeing that Zhao Xin was only a 14 or 15-year-old kid, quoted a price that was at least twice the original value. Zhao Xin was not angry, but instead bargained with them. The two of them chatted back and forth, perfectly blending into the noisy atmosphere around them.
In the end, thanks to Zhao Xin's eloquence, the price was reduced to a quarter of the original asking price.
"Hey, my dear, this is the lowest price. If you think it's okay, I'll sell it to you."
"It really can't get any lower?" Zhao Xin asked again without giving up.
“That’s really the lowest.”
"Well... well, I don't want it." When Zhao Xin said this, he clearly saw the expression of the vendor opposite him, which changed from astonishment to surprise, then anger and finally resentment. Zhao Xin could swear that he had never seen such a rich expression.
Zhao Xin continued to walk forward under the resentful gaze of the stall owner. The thing just now was of no use to Zhao Xin. He said that waiting for so long and talking so much was also a special way to vent his nervousness over the past ten days.
Suddenly, Zhao Xin seemed to have discovered something, and took two quick steps to a small stall. Indeed, compared with other stalls selling goods around, it was indeed very small, and the things sold were also different from others.
Behind the stall, sat a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a hood. "Dear guest, look at these flowers, they are not commonly seen in the outside world." Yes, the stall of this middle-aged man was filled with various kinds of flowers and plants. Just as he said, these things were not common in the outside world, which of course was also related to the fact that few people would grow them.
"How much do you want these flowers for?" Zhao Xin wanted to buy some to please his mother. After all, Long Linger's love for flowers was well known in the Zhao family, and she even built a flower garden in her own small courtyard.
"If you want to buy, all the flowers in this stall cost ten gold soul coins."
"I want them all. Here's the money for you." Zhao Xin took out ten gold soul coins from his storage soul guide and handed them to the middle-aged man. He then took out a special soul guide and stored all the flowers and plants in it.
After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Zhao Xin walked for a while, but didn't find what he needed, so he went back to the hotel. When Zhao Xin arrived at the hotel, he happened to meet Zhao Changtian coming downstairs.
"If you have nothing to do, let's go." Zhao Changtian said.
"Well, I'm ready."
Zhao Changtian took Zhao Xin on a carriage heading to Shrek City.
After an hour's bumpy ride, Zhao Xin and his companions finally returned to Shrek City. The carriage ran on the streets of Shrek City and stopped at the gate of Zhao's mansion.
"I'm finally back. It feels like a year has passed." Zhao Xin stretched, got off the carriage and sighed.
