20: Outlaw Zhang San?

At the same time, he gradually realized that Xu Xi was definitely not the Personal Disciple of a great sect that he had imagined.

Because makeup could be changed, but the tone and demeanor of speech absolutely could not be faked.

Xu Xi's outburst just now, that tantrum-throwing appearance, was definitely not that of a great sect's Personal Disciple!

"Anyone who's seen the world at Wangshi Dam, who hasn't heard my name?"

"From the top bosses of Wangshi Dam to the lowest scoundrels, if there's one thing I can't tell you, then I lose."

He was losing face, but Liu Haizhu didn't hold back on the boasting; he was practically spitting foam.

At the same time, he didn't bat an eye, and whether he should have said it or not, his psychological fortitude was quite strong, which was why he could make a living this way.

This also made Xu Xi give him a thumbs up in his heart and look at him in a new light.

When it came to making money, it really took someone with a thick skin.

At the same time, the name the other party came up with was also quite wonderful.

"It's a pity he's not a professional mage, otherwise he'd really resemble an old friend from my hometown."

After a moment of regret, Xu Xi quickly reacted, his earlier spitting-at-people demeanor receding, replaced by a more rigid expression, and he asked doubtfully,

"Oh, is that so?"

"Then I'm a little interested."

"Having just arrived at Wangshi Dam, my sister and I also want to understand the situation here."

"I wonder where in Wangshi Dam we can earn more Spirit Stones?"

"As rogue cultivators, my sister and I often lack Spirit Stones for cultivation."

"If we can alleviate that here, we will certainly repay you handsomely in the future!"

"Here are 5 pieces of Spirit Stone fragments, Big Brother Liu, please take them first."

Pulling out a few Spirit Stone fragments from his Pregnant and handing them to Liu Haizhu, Xu Xi now put on a fawning appearance, his posture very low.

No matter what, no one could connect him with the arrogant top ten Personal Disciples of the Xuanjian Sect.

Even Zhao Yaqian, sitting opposite him, felt a bit unfamiliar after seeing Xu Xi's 'Sichuan opera face-changing' act.

The Xu Xi before her was completely different from the one she had known.

In the past, Xu Xi might have directly put his sword to Liu Haizhu's neck and demanded an explanation of what a professional mentor was, instead of being so humble.

"Hahahaha!"

"Brother, no problem, no problem!"

"How should I address you?"

Liu Haizhu discreetly accepted the Spirit Stone fragments Xu Xi handed over; although it wasn't as bountiful as previous gains, even a mosquito's leg was still meat.

He, Liu Haizhu, was a rogue cultivator after all, and it was common for him to earn scattered money.

Then, he politely asked for Xu Xi's name, preparing to engrave it in his mind, perhaps to forge a good connection if they met again in the future.

"Oh, me? Zhang San."

"Because I'm the third child in my family, my father gave me this name."

"It's very simple, I hope Big Brother Liu doesn't mock me."

When stating his name, Xu Xi, of course, wouldn't use his real name, but casually used a common name from Blue Star.

And, he gave a ridiculous reason to make it seem less fake.

Of course, the Liu Haizhu opposite him clearly had no suspicions; after all, who on Xuan Yuan Continent would know the meme of 'Outlaw Zhang San'?

If he were exposed, Xu Xi would have to suspect whether the other party was also one of the transmigration army, like him.

"Zhang San?"

"What a good name!"

"It perfectly matches your handsome appearance, Brother Zhang."

He gave a stiff smile, and what a compliment it was; if he hadn't taken Xu Xi's money, Liu Haizhu wouldn't have dared to open his mouth like that.

"Ahem, it seems I've strayed a bit too far."

"Since I've taken your money, Brother Zhang, I must tell you all about it."

He lightly coughed to express his embarrassment, then Liu Haizhu adjusted his mindset and pulled Xu Xi closer.

He looked left and right, confirming that there was no one else besides his familiar companions, then leaned close to Xu Xi's ear and whispered,

"Let me tell you, recently the Xuanjian Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect in the Tianlan Region have been fighting intensely."

"Because the Sect Leader of the Xuanjian Sect died unexpectedly, the Xiaoyao Sect is really taking advantage of their misfortune."

"Do you know why this place is called Wangshi Dam?"

"It's because of a low-grade Spirit Stone Mine nearby."

"From our city walls, you can vaguely see the location of the Spirit Stone Mine."

First, Liu Haizhu explained the origin of Wangshi Dam to Xu Xi; it must be said that Liu Haizhu's explanation was quite good, knowing how to cite classics.

"Ah?"

"Then what does that have to do with the Xiaoyao Sect and the Xuanjian Sect?"

Feigning ignorance, Xu Xi acted so convincingly that even Liu Haizhu, after hearing Xu Xi's words, couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, scolding him with a smile,

"What are you rushing for!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Listen as I continue to tell you a few more things."

He patted Xu Xi on the back of the head, then Liu Haizhu said nervously,

"Twenty li outside the East Gate of Wangshi Dam, that low-grade Spirit Stone Mine is a resource belonging to the Xuanjian Sect."

"However, not long ago, people from the Xiaoyao Sect sent people to seize it."

"I heard the leader was Elder Teng Nuo of the Xiaoyao Sect, a Spirit Forming Realm Early Stage cultivator, extremely skilled in saber techniques; his great saber has defeated countless masters, earning him the nickname 'Crimson Serpent Saber'."

At this point, Liu Haizhu stopped speaking, his expression somewhat solemn, as if contemplating whether to continue.

Of course, perhaps because he had taken money, or for other reasons, Liu Haizhu didn't pause for long, then continued in an even softer voice, whispering into Xu Xi's ear,

"Brother Zhang, if you want to make quick money, you can try your luck at the Spirit Stone Mine."

"After they seized the territory, they are also recruiting helpers to mine resources."

"After all, their own people also need to guard within the sect and plunder other places."

"And this gives us an opportunity to profit."

"If you seize the chance when they're not paying attention, you might be able to secretly keep one or two low-grade Spirit Stones; if you succeed even once, you'll make a huge profit."

After speaking, Liu Haizhu immediately moved away from Xu Xi, pretending not to have spoken to him, and continued drinking and chatting with his previous companions.

And the originally thin young man, after witnessing this scene, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

However, he thought he had hidden it well, but Xu Xi noticed it.

In some respects, Liu Haizhu hadn't been boasting just now; being able to get even such minor intelligence indeed showed he had some ability.

However, he didn't know if this information was real or fake.

"Thank you for the information, Big Brother Liu. Early tomorrow morning, my sister and I will go and try it out."

"If it truly succeeds, I will definitely treat you to a meal, right here at Wangshi Tavern, at this very table!"

After getting useful information, Xu Xi pretended to be grateful and thanked Liu Haizhu, his sincere expression actually fooling Liu Haizhu.
