Chapter 70 The Chen Family Provides Half
Chapter 70 The Chen family will provide half.
The two did not stay in the mountains for long. After finishing their grilled fish, they quietly went down the mountain.
When they were almost back at the incense shop, Bixia transformed back into a bracelet and hid it in Cao Xing's sleeve. Cao Xing immediately headed to the pawnshop, intending to sell all the stolen goods he had.
Cao Xing transformed back into his previous middle-aged appearance and returned to the pawnshop.
Wei Zhijie was surprised that Cao Xing returned so quickly, and immediately sensed that there must be a big deal going on.
After leading Cao Xing into the inner room, serving him tea, and dismissing the innkeeper, Wei Zhijie asked Cao Xing, "Fellow Daoist in Yellow Robe, what is the occasion this time—"
"Damn it."
Without wasting words, Cao Xing took out all four magical artifacts he had captured, including the Pure Yang Qiankun Bracelet.
The Pure Yang Qiankun Bracelet, a mid-grade magic artifact, is definitely the best among them.
However, this thing requires pure yang energy to activate, so Bixia cannot use it. Wearing it herself would also be a problem, since its origin is too sensitive. Once exposed, the fact that she killed Hong Kaiyuan and the other two would be impossible to hide.
It's best to get rid of them all and exchange them for banknotes; that's the safest option.
Wei Zhijie's eyes lit up as he looked at the four magical artifacts on the table, and his heart was filled with shock.
After all, what happened last night is common knowledge.
The Pure Yang Qiankun Bracelet, along with the other three magical artifacts, all bear the talismanic mark of the Southern Dipper Master of Fate. After a moment's thought, Wei Zhijie could easily deduce that the yellow-robed Daoist before him was the murderer who killed the disciples of the Upper Temple last night.
Of course, whether it was true or not was not important to Wei Zhijie. After weighing the options for a moment, Wei Zhijie offered Cao Xing a fair price.
Fourteen thousand taels.
This price is not low. Eight thousand taels is the price of the Pure Yang Qiankun Bracelet, and the other three magical artifacts are two thousand taels each.
Neither of them were doing business for the first time, and the price was fair, so Cao Xing didn't try to bargain.
With the addition of 14,000 taels of silver, Cao Xing immediately felt his pockets were fuller.
His pockets were bulging now, with all his silver totaling 35,000 taels. With this money, he and Bixia could easily cultivate for a while in the future.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After receiving the money, Cao Xing immediately got up to take his leave.
He had enough money in his pocket, and even if he withdrew now, he would still make a huge profit. He needed to convert this money into resources as soon as possible.
"Haha, there are too many people and too much attention, so I won't see you off, fellow Daoist. Please."
Wei Zhijie stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
After all, he was the pawnshop owner, and personally delivering the goods would only attract attention.
Cao Xing nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "This boss is indeed meticulous. It seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, we might as well cooperate for a long time."
After leaving the pawnshop, Cao Xing began to ponder what to do next.
Purchasing pills is definitely the first choice, since the pills in the Upper Temple are too expensive.
To break through to the Golden Core stage, some precious elixirs are indispensable.
I can use my good deeds, but my elder sister can't.
Besides elixirs, I should also consider buying a decent and handy magical artifact for daily use.
Just as Cao Xing was pondering the purchase list, a purple bullet screen suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Secret message: All disciples of Shangfang Temple, proceed immediately to Room A, third floor of Tongfu Inn! Disobedience will result in expulsion!]
It was a secret message sent by Jin Yuan Dao Ren at great expense to the disciples of Shangfang Temple.
It's probably because of what happened with Hong Kaiyuan and the other two!
Cao Xing became alert, but he had already carefully reviewed the situation and made sure he hadn't left any loose ends.
Let's go and take a look.
After all, Jin Yuan Dao Ren had already sent the secret message, so it wouldn't be good for him to hide and not go.
Tongfu Inn was the same one Cao Xing had visited before, so he knew the way very well.
When Cao Xing arrived at the door, he saw several disciples of Shangfang Temple gathered in front of the door, whispering and talking about something.
After Cao Xing approached, the group looked at him with strange expressions.
Before Cao Xing could speak, one of his senior brothers said, "Stop talking, everyone go up. What's meant to be will be.
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.
Cao Xing followed behind, pondering the meaning of those words.
It seems that by killing Hong Kaiyuan, he has unwittingly dragged everyone into a troublesome affair.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became even more vigilant.
Pushing open the door, Cao Xing followed the group into the room. Standing behind, he saw Chen Xiang and Tang Xiu standing on either side of Jin Yuan Daoist.
The other disciples stood aside and waited.
Not long after Cao Xing and his group arrived, several more disciples hurriedly arrived one after another.
Cao Xing looked closely and found that Wu Peng was among them. The kid had wrapped himself up in gauze again to look like a mummy.
Upon seeing Cao Xing, Wu Peng subtly winked at him, as if he had a lot to share with Cao Xing.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Daoist Jin Yuan glanced around at the crowd before speaking, "You've all received the news, haven't you?"
"Yes, it's about Senior Brother and the others! Uncle-Master, who did this? Do you have any leads?"
Someone cautiously asked.
Jin Yuan Daoist glared at the man with annoyance: "Is that even a question? They are none other than those furry, horned, and born-from-egg creatures of the demon race."
Jin Yuan Daoist was so certain because he had already inspected the scene.
Based on the traces at the scene, it seems that Hong Kaiyuan and the other two were fighting together in a triangular formation. If the opponent was a human cultivator, he would have to use an extremely powerful magic weapon to fight back against the siege of three Foundation Establishment experts.
However, he did not see any trace of such a magical artifact at the scene. Instead, he saw Xia Cheng's shattered Five Elements Shield and Zhao Jing's broken flying knife.
Considering Hong Kaiyuan's self-destruction of magical artifacts, Jin Yuan Daoist is more inclined to believe that it was the work of the demon race.
"Uncle-Master, you summoned us because you intend to seek revenge against the demon race?" the Taoist who had asked the question earlier continued to press.
This person is named Zhang Jue, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who became an initiation disciple last year.
This seemingly foolish question was actually a prelude to Jin Yuan Dao Ren's words.
"Revenge isn't urgent. The most important thing right now is the battle for the incense. We're missing three key members, and I plan to select three from among you to fill the gaps."
When Jin Yuan Daoist said this, even though everyone had expected it, their faces still turned ugly.
The struggle for incense is a fight to the death.
It's not that they're unwilling to work hard; after all, none of us are as wealthy as Chen Xiang's family, and working hard is also an opportunity for advancement.
The problem is, we've reached a point where things are extremely urgent, and you expect me to risk my life?
This is clearly sending me to my death.
Seeing that no one spoke, Daoist Jin Yuan was not annoyed. In fact, he had already guessed this would be the result, so he continued, "I know that it is too sudden to ask everyone to go and snatch the incense, so I do not expect everyone to succeed in snatching the incense this time. Participation is the most important thing."
As soon as Jin Yuan Dao Ren finished speaking, a bullet screen form popped up in front of everyone.
Cao Xing took a closer look and couldn't help but be tempted.
The form clearly listed the various elixirs needed for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, a mid-grade magic artifact, and an interest-free loan of 100,000 taels of silver. Most importantly, at the bottom of the form was a note: "[The Chen family will cover half of all expenses for the items needed during this Incense-Seizing Competition.]"
