1020: Naturally poisonous

Ji Wuchang was very surprised to hear Zhou Xiaoxiao's words; he was completely unaware of these matters.

"Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, how do you know all this?"

Ji Wuchang was very curious and sent a voice transmission to Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Hearing this, a look of pride appeared on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face, and she whispered, "Junior Brother Chai, when you have time, you should go check out the academy's Library!"

"In the Inner Court, the Library is the true treasure trove; it's much better than the Treasure Pavilion!"

"Although the Cultivation Techniques and Battle Techniques in the Treasure Pavilion are decent, many of them are things the Library picked through and didn't want."

"Inside the Library, there are not only more powerful Cultivation Techniques and Battle Techniques but also various Family secrets."

"For example, the mysterious Ji Family, Senior Sister Yu Ling's Yu Family, the Zhan Family, the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, the Nan Family, and so on—there are introductions for all of them!"

"Regarding what I just said, aside from the parts I heard from Senior Sister Cai'er and Senior Sister Lingling, the rest I read in the Library!"

After listening, Ji Wuchang suddenly understood.

That day, Senior Sister Yu Ling had also mentioned the Library, saying he should visit when he had time, but he had focused his attention on the Treasure Pavilion.

He had spent 3,001 points last time and still had 4,299 points left. After returning, he definitely had to visit the Library.

"Everyone, this isn't our first time in Wuyuan City. This is our latest batch of stock. Do any of the Fellow Daoists present have a need?"

"The youngest this time is only five years old. If you take them back and nurture them well, your Family will have one more powerful expert to guard it in the future!"

Just then, the man at the sixth layer of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm spoke up.

After he finished speaking, he led two little girls out.

As soon as the man's voice fell, the onlookers immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"A five-year-old at the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm is definitely rare. She might truly be a cultivation Genius!"

"Isn't that the truth? The one the Li Family bought last time is only eleven now and is already at the seventh layer of Qi Refining. Old Li's Family treasures her immensely!"

"It's just too expensive. I remember the girl the Li Family bought last time was probably six years old and cost four hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"You definitely won't get them for that price this time; they're only five!"

Among the crowd, various discussions filled the air.

Ji Wuchang listened for only a moment and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Whether it was the buyers or the sellers, they had actually grown accustomed to the existence of such things; it was truly a tragedy.

He remembered that in his previous life, he often heard about children going missing, but he had never left the Southwest and didn't know what was happening.

Looking at it now, it was likely that these people went to the Southwest to target children with some talent and take them away.

A look of anger also appeared on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face, but she was also quite helpless.

Even though the cultivation bases of the few people before them were inferior to hers, there might be even stronger people following them in the shadows.

Once you provoked this group, they might stick to you like a dog-skin plaster later on. Trouble!

"Fellow Daoist, give us a price. If you don't quote a price, we can't say whether we want them or not!"

Just then, an old man among the onlookers spoke up. He possessed a cultivation base at the Peak of the ninth layer of the Dao Severing Realm.

As soon as the crowd saw the old man, many eyes couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy.

This old man was quite famous in Wuyuan City, named Lu Bingliang. He originally had a granddaughter who was killed on the spot during a match with someone.

Lu Bingliang went mad immediately, but he was no match for the other party's Dao Protector. He was severely injured and almost died.

Since then, he had lived a muddled life in Wuyuan City every day.

Normally he smelled of alcohol every day, but today he was dressed quite neatly and had no smell of wine on him, which surprised many people.

The man at the sixth layer of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm smiled immediately upon seeing someone speak.

"This Fellow Daoist is right. I was negligent just now. I'll inform everyone of the prices now!"

"Five-year-olds are five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, six-year-olds are four hundred and twenty thousand, and seven-year-olds are three hundred and ten thousand!"

"Eight-year-olds are two hundred thousand, nine-year-olds are one hundred thousand, and ten-year-olds are fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"As everyone knows, the younger the age, the better the cultivation Aptitude and the greater the future potential!"

"This time there are two five-year-olds; for the other ages, there's only one of each!"

"We value integrity in our business, and this isn't our first time in your Wuyuan City!"

"As long as you take them back and nurture them well, they will definitely not disappoint you in the future. The Spirit Stones spent today will surely be earned back a hundred or a thousand times over in the future!"

"Everyone can consider it. There are only seven. Once they're sold, we'll leave immediately!"

"Think it over carefully. Once you miss this chance, it won't come again. With them around, they will surely be able to protect your families in the future!"

After the man at the sixth layer of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm finished speaking, he looked at the crowd with a smile and stopped talking.

The people present began to discuss among themselves again after hearing the prices.

In fact, for many Cultivators on the scene, this amount of Spirit Stones was no small sum; many in the crowd were Loose Cultivators.

As a Loose Cultivator, life was difficult, and there wasn't much they could save up!

If these Spirit Stones were spent, many would even have trouble maintaining their own cultivation later on.

Most importantly, if they bought one, they would definitely prepare to nurture them well, which was a bottomless pit; who knew how much would have to be invested.

Ji Wuchang watched the scene before him, feeling very angry in his heart, yet also very helpless.

He naturally wasn't afraid of causing trouble, but Zhou Xiaoxiao's words just now told him that these people were merely the ones on the surface.

Even if he killed the three men before him and rescued these seven children, what would happen afterward?

First of all, how to arrange for them would be a difficult problem he would have to face.

Taking them back to Tianchen Academy was definitely out of the question; the academy wouldn't take them in.

"Kid, buy that little girl on the left. This old man wants her."

Just then, the voice of the Thousand Poison Venerable rang in his ear, startling Ji Wuchang.

He couldn't help but look at the little girl being led by the man at the sixth layer of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, his brow furrowing slightly!

Inside this little girl's body, it was actually filled with black Qi.

"Kid, no need to look. This is an Innate Poison Body. Those people think she's been affected by some special lethal poison and have used their spiritual power to seal that poisonous Qi!"

"It seems they haven't been seen by anyone who specifically Cultivates Poison Scriptures yet, otherwise she would have been bought long ago!"

"This old man can come out at any time now. It'll be quite nice to have someone by my side!"

"Of course, I won't teach her skills immediately. I'll first observe her Heart-Nature carefully!"

"If I teach another ungrateful wolf, I might as well just bash my own head in!"

In the Thousand Poison Venerable's words, there was a faint hint of excitement!

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang understood immediately. It seemed the Thousand Poison Venerable had found a suitable successor.
