143: The top treasure hunting rat is not as good as a servant!
As soon as these words were spoken, Yao Xian was completely stunned. The development of events had completely exceeded his expectations. According to the plot development that should have followed, shouldn't Mu Qingli have first given a shy smile?
Shouldn't she have said that he was truly a unique and special individual?
And wouldn't she have developed a favorable impression of him because of this?
"Pfft..."
At this moment, the stall owner beside them seemed unable to hold back any longer.
"A poor wretch who can't even cough up thirty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, yet you're trying to pick up girls? It's absolutely hilarious!"
"If I were you, I would have found a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately!"
Following this sneer, Yao Xian was jolted back to reality.
"You...!"
His neck and cheeks flushed bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he glared furiously at Mu Qingli. It was one thing for her to compare him to a poor wretch twice. But for this stall owner to actually fan the flames and mock him as well!
In his past life, he was the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor, standing above countless Great Emperors! How dare these fellows humiliate him like this!?
But there were too many prying eyes here. And since they were in the Shenwu Market, even if he were furious, he wouldn't be stupid enough to make a move here!
"Young lady, are you treating my good intentions as donkey liver and lungs!"
Yao Xian couldn't swallow this insult and said angrily: "Besides, I was the one who set my eyes on this item first!"
"So what if you saw it first?"
Mu Qingli didn't care at all and mocked: "According to your logic, with so many items in the Shenwu Market, even if you can't afford to buy them, anything you lay eyes on becomes yours?"
"You don't have the Spirit Stones to buy it, so I, the Saintess, am buying it directly. Do I need to ask for this poor wretch's consent?"
Listening to Mu Qingli's remarks, Wu Tian, who had been watching the show the whole time, was also somewhat dumbfounded.
Good grief. The Saintess, who usually walked the pure and elegant path, had actually blackened because of Kong Wu Dao!
Look!
Such a pure and elegant beauty, yet every other word out of her mouth is 'poor wretch'!
Who knows whose white moonlight she was, but at this moment, that image has completely shattered into bubbles!
But truth be told, this actually felt quite satisfying to him!
To be honest, they were certainly not short on money!
After all, Divine Child Wu Dao had given them millions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones earlier!
He told them that if they saw anything they wanted in this Shenwu Market, they should just buy it!
If it wasn't enough, they could just ask him for more!
Thinking about it this way, for someone like Yao Xian, who considered even thirty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones too expensive, being called a poor wretch by Mu Qingli was quite reasonable!
"You... how dare you..."
Humiliated once again and called a poor wretch, Yao Xian was grinding his teeth in rage. Originally, he had been thinking of winning Mu Qingli over. Now, he was almost tempted to make a move against her directly because of the shame and anger he felt today!
"Hmph! Just a spendthrift woman!"
Yao Xian snorted coldly, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart. Unwilling to argue further, he turned around and flicked his sleeves, leaving.
...
"That damn bitch!"
Yao Xian, continuing deeper into the Shenwu Market, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. That broken piece of Emperor Weapon was definitely a great Opportunity. Originally, this item would have absolutely fallen into his hands, but now it had been snatched away by someone else!
What made him even angrier was that throughout his journey of Cultivating until now, what kind of woman hadn't been captivated and attracted by his charm?
But that bitch, on the other hand, kept calling him a poor wretch!
"Hmph! It was just a broken piece of Emperor Weapon."
"Missing out on me is that bitch's biggest loss!"
Although having his Opportunity stolen put him in a very bad mood, Yao Xian had an intuition that there should be other Opportunities in this Shenwu Market no weaker than the piece of Emperor Weapon.
Sure enough, when his gaze swept over an inconspicuous stall, his eyes flashed with brilliance once again.
"There is actually a Dao Enlightenment Tree seed in that old, broken clay pot!"
"That is an ancient tree of heaven and earth that only grew before the Emperor Fall Era. The Dao Enlightenment Fruit produced by the Dao Enlightenment Tree can help Cultivators comprehend the power of the Dao!"
Yao Xian hurried forward. To prevent being intercepted like last time, Yao Xian spoke directly: "I'll give you twenty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones; I want everything on your stall!"
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly sounded: "Fellow Daoist, why not sell the items to me? I offer forty thousand!"
Yao Xian was dumbfounded again. What shocked him wasn't that someone was intercepting him again, but why this voice sounded so familiar.
He turned to look, and it was still those two familiar figures. This time, it was Wu Tian who spoke!
"Forty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!?"
The stall owner's eyes lit up significantly upon hearing this. Yao Xian also sensed that things were going wrong, and his expression became increasingly cold and gloomy.
He finally understood what these two fellows were up to.
So they were following behind him, deliberately picking up leaks!
Were they treating him as a treasure-hunting rat!?
However, that was indeed exactly what Wu Tian was thinking.
Earlier, Divine Child Wu Dao had said to the two of them: "Each of you take turns; bid on the first two items he sets his eyes on. For you, it will be a great Opportunity."
Previously, Wu Tian had been skeptical about this. But just a moment ago, Mu Qingli had counted the items she had bid on and actually discovered a broken piece of a top-tier weapon!
Even after countless years had passed, the aura remaining on it was extremely dense!
It was very likely of the legendary Emperor Weapon grade!
Picking up such a huge bargain really made Wu Tian envious to the point of jealousy!
But he also understood completely. Divine Child Wu Dao was indeed correct; this Yao Xian was a top-tier treasure-hunting rat!
"I offer sixty thousand!"
He felt that even if he put up all his assets, it might not be enough. Gritting his teeth, he added: "I can also grant you a favor. In the future, if you have any needs, within my capabilities, I can help you!"
The previous great Opportunity had already been intercepted by the other party. He absolutely could not give up this Opportunity so easily!
In Yao Xian's own view, he had offered the sky-high price of sixty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones and even offered a favor of his own; the other party would definitely be moved!
After all, he hadn't deliberately hidden his Bloodline. In terms of Aptitude and Bloodline, he was fully confident that he was not inferior to Mu Qingli or Wu Tian. After seeing such Aptitude, this stall owner would definitely think that he would have extraordinary achievements in the future, and thus would be tempted!
But as soon as these words were spoken, many Cultivators who had been attracted by the commotion to watch the fun cast looks at Yao Xian as if he were an idiot.
Immediately after, the crowd burst into waves of sneers.
"Hahaha! I finally get it; this is a wild boy from some godforsaken backwater!"
"Who doesn't know that these two adults are the maid and servant of Divine Child Wu Dao! In the future, they are destined to walk out of the Heavenly Firmament Dao Domain and even make a name for themselves in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens!"
"It cracks me up; what kind of figure is Divine Child Wu Dao? To be able to become the maid and servant of such an existence, their Aptitude and talent must be absolutely unmatched!"
"This wild boy is truly shameless; he doesn't even know how to piss and look at his own reflection to see what kind of person he is. How is he worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the servant and maid of Divine Child Wu Dao?"
"..."
Listening to the waves of laughter from the people around him, Yao Xian was dumbfounded again.
Divine Child Wu Dao's servant...?
Kong Wu Dao!?
These two were actually Kong Wu Dao's people!?
Just as he was stunned and dazed, the stall owner had already reacted first, packing up all the items on the stall.
He then ran to Wu Tian like a sycophant and offered everything, saying with a flattering face: "Oh my, oh my... so it's the people of Divine Child Wu Dao!"
"The old man was blind earlier and didn't recognize you for a moment; I hope you won't blame me, my Lord!"
"Take these items as a token of my service to you! No money needed! I only hope that in the future, you can introduce me to Divine Child Wu Dao!"
"This old man has truly admired Divine Child Wu Dao for a long time! I just want to see Divine Child Wu Dao once!"
As he spoke, the stall owner also cast a disdainful glance at Yao Xian. Especially that look of disgust, as if he were looking at a pile of dog excrement on the side of the road!
What kind of trash was he?
How was he worthy of promising him a favor?
Wouldn't the favor of Divine Child Wu Dao's servant be much better!?
