The merchant was approaching, and at this moment he had not noticed the stone in Bai Xing's hand, but he would soon, as Bai Xing, standing in the stream, unsurprisingly caught his attention.
Bai Xing lowered her head and glanced at the stream. The water was clear and shallow, and there were some stones in the water. Although they were round and smooth after being washed by the stream, they were still gray.
The three stones in Bai Xing's hand have different colors. Although as pebbles, they have many impurities, but compared with those rougher stones, these ones are much more beautiful.
Bai Xing frowned, her heart full of doubts.
She stared at the three stones in her hand, trying to find out what was special about them.
Red, blue, black, these seemingly ordinary stones, why do they arouse the greed of merchants?
The businessman quickly came to Bai Xing. He looked at Bai Xing standing there and asked with some confusion and curiosity: "Wu Zi, what are you doing here?"
Bai Xingben's hand, which was holding the stones tightly, suddenly twitched, revealing the three stones in his palm.
What is this?
Damn plot power?
Bai Xing was speechless, but since it had already happened, there was no need to dwell on the past.
She immediately stared at the businessman's expression, and saw that he showed an extremely exaggerated and complex emotion in the first moment. Although it was only for a moment, it contained joy, surprise, caution, and greed.
Then he immediately put on the common smile of a businessman, which was slick but impeccable.
If Bai Xing hadn't reacted quickly, she wouldn't have been able to capture the expression on his face at that moment.
Just a moment later, he controlled his expression with the strong psychological quality of a businessman.
So, if we understand it from another perspective, how great it would be if there were something that could make him unable to control his expression.
The problem comes back to the stone.
"Wu Zi, where did you find this stone? It looks pretty good. Why don't you give it to me?" The businessman smiled.
The greed in the eyes of businessmen is like a candle in the dark night, flickering and elusive.
Bai Xing's face remained expressionless. She simply opened her hands and displayed the stones generously. The three stones sparkled with an attractive luster in the sunlight, and really looked like gems.
gem?
Something flashed through Bai Xing's mind.
The businessman wanted to go into the water to get a closer look, but when he looked down at the depth of the stream, he gave up in disappointment.
Bai Xing's ability was sealed. At this time, her perception was the same as that of an ordinary person. In fact, because of her previous top-notch perception, she now felt even duller than an ordinary person in this body.
The stones in her palm looked no different from ordinary stones.
Bai Xing took a look at the surrounding environment, the mountains in the distance and the continuous mountains.
"Why are you here?"
"I...I'm shipping goods."
"Where's the goods?"
"I'm not going to get it."
Seeing Bai Xing's doubtful expression, the businessman patiently explained.
"I made an appointment with the village chief of Lijia Village to buy goods from their village, and I was just about to go take a look."
"Wu Zi, are you going to give it to me or not? Why are you so stingy with just three stones? You are not such a stingy person usually." The businessman looked a little angry.
But Bai Xing is not the real Wu Zi, so how could she hesitate because of the businessman's two sentences?
"Why do you have to explain so much to me?" Bai Xing's doubts became more and more clear.
"...Didn't you ask that?" The businessman was speechless and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Bai Xing smiled and asked the businessman?
Bai Xing was wearing coarse cloth, and although the merchant's clothes were not made of brocade or silk, they were made of fine and soft cloth. The two of them had a big difference in status, so why did the merchant answer her so patiently?
A man went to a village deep in the mountains to inspect goods, and his behavior was sneaky. Moreover, this stream was located in a remote area and there was no other official road, so he came here.
But what are the requirements for passing this level?
"Oh, you're so stubborn. How about this? I'll give you three cents and buy these three stones. If I didn't think my child would like them, I wouldn't bother with you."
"I'll sell it to you for three taels of silver." Bai Xingshi opened his mouth.
"What did you say?" The merchant was indeed angry. "It's just three stones, and you want three taels of silver from me?"
"These are three stones that I spent a whole day looking for. Do you think it's that easy? Look at these stones yourself. They are not as beautiful as mine." Bai Xing kicked the pebbles at her feet.
"I can find it if I look for it. It's not a rare thing." The businessman was choked by her and immediately replied unconvinced.
"Then you look for them. Do you know how many places I searched before I found these three?" Bai Xing raised her head, but her peripheral vision was always on the merchant's expression.
Sure enough, the businessman's expression changed subtly.
"I can't give you that much. I'll give you two more cents, five more cents, and buy three stones from you. Will you sell it to me?" The merchant said in a muffled voice.
"I understand." Bai Xing looked up at the sky.
"The area beneath my feet should be the vein of these three gemstones, and the three stones in my hand are gravel that was accidentally washed up."
"The merchant didn't buy three stones, but information about the mineral veins of these three gemstones."
"Is it right?"
The scene changed and Bai Xing returned to the temple.
There was no old man in front of her, and she was standing in an empty room.
There was a stone door in front, wide open and dark, as if welcoming Bai Xing's challenge.
Bai Xing looked up and wanted to go in, but darkness instantly submerged her clothes.
