Chapter 125: Spirit Fruit Myriad Treasures Store was famous for its iron rules. Anyone who dared to openly violate its rules would be punished, even if they were the imperial members of the Firecrow Empire. Therefore, no one dared to resort to deceit under its supervision. The warrior took out a storage bag from his ring and was prepared to throw it to the little old man. But at that moment, Jia Rong suddenly said, “This is indeed a genuine and living egg of a second-grade Windbreaking Poisonous Ferret, but its life force is getting weaker and weaker. I think it will probably become a dead egg within a month.” The beaming little old man was about to take the bag when he saw the warrior’s hand pause in the air, then abruptly retract with the bag. Holding the bag in his arms and carefully protecting it, the warrior glared at the seller and bellowed, “What? A dying egg?” There was a flicker of panic in the old man’s eyes, and in the next instant, his face flashed with anger. He swept through the crowd and shouted, “Who goes there? Who’s talking nonsense? Show yourself!” All eyes fell on Jia Rong at the same time. He smiled coldly and took a few steps forward, looking at the egg in disdain. “I dare you to take this egg out of the crystal vessel in front of everyone. I’m sure its surface has begun to show green spots, which is the reason why you put it in a crystal vessel, so you can deceive everyone with the colorful light of the crystal.” The old man’s face turned slightly pale, because Jia Rong was absolutely right. His palms began to sweat, but he still growled, “Don’t pretend to understand when you don’t! Get out of here now and stop causing trouble and talking nonsense, or don’t blame me for treating you badly!” “Hmph!” At the beginning, Jia Rong was not sure either. All he had said just now was what Yunxiao told him to say via a voice transmission. But, as soon as he saw the seller’s expression, he knew that Yunxiao was completely right. With the flip of his hand, the badge of a second-tier alchemist appeared in his palm, and he said with a sneer, “I’m a second-tier alchemist. Do you question my strength and credibility?” “What? He is a second-tier alchemist?!” “Wow! What a young second-tier alchemist! No wonder he is so professional and could tell that there is something wrong with the egg at a glance!” “Well, I told you, a demon beast egg is hard to come by. So, how can anyone put it up for sale like this? Luckily, I didn’t fall for it!” “Bah! You just don’t have the money! I heard you say you want to sell your house and wife to buy the egg!” The seller froze on the spot, and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead as he looked at the genuine second-tier alchemist badge. The warrior quickly put the bag of Primordial Stones back into his ring and shouted angrily, “You have a black heart! I almost trusted you and gave you the saving my brothers and I had worked so hard over many years to accumulate!” The loud voice startled the old man, who quickly said in a trembling voice, “I… I… I didn’t know this is a dying egg.” When he saw the onlookers all pointing at him, he shooed the crowd away in panic and said, “Go away, go away! I’m not selling it anymore!” That put a contemptuous look on every face, but the crowd soon dispersed nonetheless. The warrior came over and expressed his thanks to Jia Rong, who replied with a righteous face, “It’s nothing! Exposing liars and upholding justice are the duties of a noble alchemist.” “Master Jia Rong, you’re so amazing!” Meng Bai said with a look of admiration. “Tell me quickly, how did you find out that it is a dying egg?” Jia Rong’s face lit up with pride and he snorted. “It’s not a big deal.” The seller was busy packing his things with his head down. It was his first day here, and yet his trick was already exposed. It seemed that he could no longer stay in this trade fair. And, since Jia Rong was a second-tier alchemist, he did not dare to offend him, so he could only count himself unlucky. “Boss, do you still want to sell this egg?” The old man paused and looked up at Yunxiao, then frowned and said, “You know it is a dying egg. Are you sure you want to buy it?” Yunxiao chuckled. “Everyone has his own needs. It happens that I need such an egg.” “Ah? You need such an egg?” The seller was startled, but then his face lit up instantly. “Haha! Since you want to buy it, I can sell it to you. Haha! Well, although it is a dying egg, at least it is still alive now. So, you have to pay me five thousand medial-grade Primordial Stones.” “Five thousand medial-grade? No, inferior-grade!” “What!” the seller cried, “Inferior-grade? That’s only fifty medial-grade! You can’t be so mean, can you?” “Mean? Then you can keep it and cook it yourself in a month.” “Don’t go! How about one thousand medial-grade? No? Five hundred? Two hundred? Hey, don’t go!” “One hundred medial-grade Primordial Stones. Deal or no deal?” “Ugh…fine, I’ll count myself unlucky! This is really a cutthroat price!” It only took the seller a few seconds to consider. After all, in another month, he would have to eat the egg himself. And even if he did not sell it now and continued to use it to deceive people, those who could afford to buy a demon beast egg would probably kill him when they found that they were cheated. Yunxiao readily handed over the payment and put the egg in his ring, then smiled at the others and said, “Let’s go.” Jia Rong replied happily, “Yes, Young Master Yun! Time to go now, Meng Bai!” The four of them left together to visit other stalls, leaving the old man standing there with a blank face and wide eyes. “Fu*k! They know each other!” he screamed. “Haha! Young Master Yun, you are really mean, cutting the price from ten thousand to one hundred in just the blink of an eye. Tsk, tsk… that seller is really unlucky!” “Well, it is mainly because the egg is really dying and not worth so much.” “Ah? So, Master was the one playing the trick? But, why do you want to buy a dying egg?” “For you to eat.” “Ugh?” Yunxiao took out the egg and shoved it into Meng Bai’s ring as he said seriously, “Although this second-grade Windbreaking Poisonous Ferret is not strong in fighting strength, the toxin contained in its body is a real pain in the neck. It is still mild now, so cook it and eat it right away when you get back. It will be of great help to your strength.” Meng Bai was dumbfounded, and he asked foolishly, “Eat it…For me to eat it? But…how long will it take me to finish such a big egg?!” “You must eat it all at once so that you can fully absorb it.” “…” Meng Wu touched Meng Bai’s head and said in a commanding voice, “Do whatever Young Master Yun tells you to do. He is doing it for your own good. Oh, if only I could have a good demon beast egg, one that can hatch into a cute little demon beast.” Suddenly, Yunxiao stopped and looked at Meng Wu as he smiled. Then, as if by magic, he pulled out a larger demon beast egg and handed it to her. “This egg is a real good thing. Try hatching it.” Meng Wu was taken aback. “This…Young Master Yun, where did you find it? What beast’s egg is it?” Yunxiao smiled and said, “In short, it is a good thing. You will know when you go back and try hatching it. When the time comes, I will teach you the art of beast controlling. As long as you subdue the fella in the egg, you will have no fear of being hurt in the whole Firecrow Empire.” The egg was found in Xu Pinghong’s ring. As a Beastmaster, he naturally had many good things. Even Yunxiao was taken aback when he saw the egg, and he had kept it as a treasure. “Wow, that’s something! I want one too, Master!” Meng Bai’s eyes lit up as he stared at the egg while drooling. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 “Didn’t I already give you one? You haven’t had enough?” Yunxiao glared at him and then said to Meng Wu, “Put it away quickly! Many people are watching.” Meng Wu felt warm in her heart, and her face flushed slightly. She answered in a soft voice and put the egg away. ‘It is very kind of him to give me something so valuable without even thinking twice!’ “Hey, did you see that? That boy seemed to have taken out two demon beast eggs just now!” “I saw that too, and I thought I was hallucinating. Fu*k, who the hell is he? Why is he so rich?” “I don’t know, but he really spent a lot of money to please that girl.” “Please my ass! There is not a girl worth two demon beast eggs! You can have all the girls in the world with just one!” “Oh, I agree with that. It seems like he really is a spendthrift!” The voices of passersby drifted into their ears. Meng Wu was so shy that even her neck had turned red. Her brother put a hand on her forehead and asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you, Sis? Why is your forehead so hot? Do you have a fever?” Bam! Meng Wu’s eyes burned with rage as she threw Meng Bai to the ground, breaking a few pieces of bricks. Jia Rong said cautiously, “Young Master Yun, let’s get going! There are too many people here, and we shouldn’t have revealed something so valuable in public. I’m afraid that we’ve already been targeted by someone.” Yunxiao smiled and said, “It’s alright. If someone really dares to provoke us, we will let him rest in peace here forever.” They turned a deaf ear to the chatter around them and continued to look around at the trade fair. Before long, an item on a small stall caught Yunxiao’s attention. “Boss, what is the price of this fruit?” Yunxiao pointed to a scarlet fruit placed on the blanket, his eyes shining with a strange look. Sitting on the other side of the stall was a stout man. After briefly scanning him with his divine sense, Yunxiao was surprised to find that he was a one-star Martial Master. The man’s eyes brightened as he considered for some moments, and then he said, “Five thousand inferior-grade Primordial Stones.” “Five thousand inferior-grade Primordial Stones? Why don’t you go and rob someone? Such a wild fruit can only quench thirst or be taken as an appetizer before or after a meal, but you are selling it for five thousand inferior-grade Primordial Stones?” Meng Bai was the first to cry out. Although he did not know the fruit, he knew at a glance that it came from the mountains. The man paused and said angrily, “You are only a child, so what do you know? This is a spirit fruit!” “I grew up in the mountains, and I’ve eaten more wild fruits than you have seen! A spirit fruit? My ass!” Meng Bai said disdainfully. “Master, don’t be fooled by him.” With a smile, Yunxiao looked at the man and asked, “Do you know this fruit? What’s its name?” The man shook his head and said, “I don’t know its name, but I’m sure it is a spirit fruit, because I saw a third-tier Greenscale Python and a third-tier Bloodstriped Tiger fight each other for it with my own eyes, ending up in an internecine outcome! The reason I sell it for five thousand inferior-grade Primordial Stones is because I don’t know the fruit. But, I believe its actual value is much more than that!” Yunxiao’s eyelids twitched, and there was a glimmer of light flashing through his eyes. Exulted, he said, “A Bloodstriped Tiger? Since the two demon beasts had ended up in an internecine outcome, and you have also got the fruit, don’t tell me that you let them go.”
