Chapter 16 Meet Again

Chu Tian thought he was shady enough, but he didn't expect Luoshui Pavilion to be even shadier than him!

Then, Chu Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The nine Explosive Flame Pearls sold yesterday already belonged to Luoshui Pavilion completely. No matter what price they sold them at, it had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, a large number of warriors gathered at the door of Luoshui Pavilion, patiently waiting for Luoshui Pavilion to open, and then rush in first to buy the Explosive Flame Pearls.

Not long after, the door opened and everyone swarmed in.

In just less than ten breaths, nine Explosive Flame Pearls were snatched by nine lucky people, and the rest of the people were full of envy and disappointment.

"Everyone, I spent ten middle-grade spirit stones to buy this eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl. Now I'm ready to sell it. Everyone can take turns bidding, and the highest bidder wins!"

A bald man who successfully grabbed the Explosive Flame Pearl shouted loudly.

"I'll bid 11!"

"12!"

"13!"

As soon as the bald man finished speaking, the scene immediately rang with biddings one after another.

However, before the bald man finished the auction, Qin, the shopkeeper of Luoshui Pavilion, came out and announced on the spot that there would be another sale of Explosive Flame Pearls soon, and the specific time would be notified separately.

After that, Qin turned back.

As a result, all the bidders shut up and stopped bidding.

No one present was a fool. Since Luoshui Pavilion would sell Explosive Flame Pearls again soon, there was no need to participate in any bidding.

The bald man was stunned on the spot.

Immediately, he shouted at the people who had just bid, "Keep bidding, why don't you bid? This is an eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl!"

However, the people who were bidding enthusiastically just now were too lazy to pay attention and turned away directly.

Gradually, the crowd dispersed, and the focus of everyone's discussion was still the Explosive Flame Pearl.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the hall on the first floor of Luoshui Pavilion, Shopkeeper Qin paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and a trace of worry hung on his slightly old face.

At the beginning, when the black-robed man left, he said that he would come back soon, but it has been three days and the other party still hasn't appeared. Is he lying to him?

Shopkeeper Qin frowned slightly, and all kinds of thoughts surged in his brain.

You know, it was because of the hot sales of the Explosive Flame Pearl last time that many dignitaries in Qianyang County and even the capital secretly consulted him, hoping to buy a few Explosive Flame Pearls.

Unfortunately, all nine Explosive Flame Pearls have been sold out, and where can he find extra Explosive Flame Pearls all of a sudden.

"Black-robed man, you'd better show up soon!"

Shopkeeper Qin prayed secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, a familiar low voice came into his ears, as beautiful as fairy music.

"Shopkeeper Qin, I'm here."

Shopkeeper Qin turned around and saw a black-robed figure coming in from outside, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Welcome, welcome, please come in!"

Shopkeeper Qin was very attentive, took the initiative to step forward, and took Chu Tian up the stairs.

This time, Chu Tian was not taken to the secret room on the second floor, but was taken to the third floor by Shopkeeper Qin. After turning left and right and triggering the mechanism, a secret room appeared.

"Miss, he's here."

Shopkeeper Qin stood respectfully at the door, notified the inside, and then led Chu Tian in.

After Chu Tian walked into the secret room, he found that the layout of the room was very simple. In addition to a gray cushion on the ground, there was also a set of tables and chairs.

A purple-shirted girl was sitting cross-legged on the gray cushion, practicing with her eyes closed. After hearing the voice, she opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

Chu Tian, ​​who was covered by a black robe, looked dazed for a moment.

The purple-shirted girl was none other than Qu Xiaoer, who had saved his life in the Black Rock Forest.

He had never expected that he would see Qu Xiaoer again so soon.

"Are you the one who sold the Explosive Flame Pearl a few days ago?"

Seeing Chu Tian coming in, Qu Xiaoer stood up, walked slowly to the table, and asked as he sat down.

"No... not bad!" Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then walked to the table and sat down opposite Qu Xiaoer without any hesitation, and lowered his voice, "Are you the boss behind Luoshui Pavilion?"

Through the two small holes on the dark mask, Chu Tian observed Qu Xiaoer's perfect face up close, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Qu Xiaoer showed a strange look on his face.

Somehow, since he entered the door, the black-robed man opposite him gave him a sense of familiarity. Could it be that he had seen him somewhere before?

Qu Xiaoer thought about it, but couldn't think of where he had seen the man opposite him before.

"Yes, my name is Qu Xiaoer, and I am an important member of the owner behind Luoshui Pavilion. I wonder how many Explosive Flame Beads you are going to sell this time?"

Qu Xiaoer nodded and asked straight to the point.

Chu Tian took off a black bag from his waist, gently pushed it across the table, and said in a deep voice: "Ten, one more than last time."

"Only ten?"

Qu Xiaoer muttered, seeming a little dissatisfied.

However, she still picked up the black bag, took out the Explosive Flame Pearls, and checked them one by one.

Chu Tian smiled bitterly at this time.

He took a certain risk in selling the Explosive Flame Pearls to Luoshui Pavilion!

If he really took out dozens or even hundreds of Explosive Flame Pearls at one time, it is hard to guarantee that Luoshui Pavilion would not have the idea of ​​killing people to seize the treasure.

In addition, he only sold about ten Explosive Flame Pearls each time, which was also conducive to occupying an advantageous position in the negotiation and better controlling the price.

"Eight eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearls, and two are seventh-level."

Soon, Qu Xiaoer finished the inspection.

Qu Xiaoer was more certain that these Explosive Flame Pearls in his hand were made by the person opposite, because the workmanship level was obviously improved compared to the last time.

"Could it be that the guy opposite is an apprentice of refining, and there is a master of refining silently guiding him behind him?"

Qu Xiaoer's eyebrows flashed with suspicion.

When he thought of this possibility, Qu Xiaoer couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In the cultivation world, the status of a weapon refiner is slightly higher than that of an alchemist or a formation master.

Especially those weapon refiners who have been famous for a long time are highly respected.

However, she basically knows all the famous weapon refiners in Wuyan Country, but none of them knows how to refine the Explosive Flame Pearl. Could it be that the weapon refiner behind the black-robed man is from the outside world?

"Ten Explosive Flame Pearls, sir, what's the price?"

When she thought of this, Qu Xiaoer's way of addressing Chu Tian changed.

Chu Tian did not notice this, and he said lightly: "Let's go with the last price. The price of an eighth-level Explosive Flame Pearl is three middle-grade spirit stones, and the price of a seventh-level one is two."

"What!"

Qu Xiaoer and the shopkeeper Qin standing behind her both looked at Chu Tian in great surprise.

In just a few days, the entire county city knew the great value and popularity of the Explosive Flame Pearl. The two were ready for the black-robed man to raise the price significantly, or even ask for a lion's mouth.

As a result, the black-robed man actually sold it at the last price.

Under the dark mask, Chu Tian grinned.

Originally, he was going to raise the price significantly, but after seeing Qu Xiaoer, he changed his mind temporarily.

The other party had saved his life before, how could he easily cheat his savior.

What's more, the other party gave him a precious storage ring last time.

"Why, are you two not satisfied with the price?"

Chu Tian deliberately asked back.

Qu Xiaoer and Manager Qin smiled awkwardly.

What a joke, they were not dissatisfied at all, they were too satisfied, so they were a little unresponsive for a while.

"Okay, deal!"

Qu Xiaoer happily took out 28 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones from the storage ring and pushed them across the table.

"Goodbye!"

Chu Tian quickly put away the spirit stones, immediately stood up, and walked out of the secret room.

After confirming that Chu Tian had completely left, Shopkeeper Qin whispered, "Miss, this black-robed man definitely has more than ten Explosive Flame Beads on him. Should I send someone to follow and investigate this guy?"

"No need. Our Luoshui Pavilion is not a black shop!"

Qu Xiaoer looked at Shopkeeper Qin with a warning.

In her opinion, the black-robed man might just be an apprentice in refining weapons, but the master behind him was probably from an outsider area where there were many experts.

If they rashly followed and investigated, once they were exposed and angered the other party, Luoshui Pavilion might not be able to withstand the other party's anger.

Seeing Qu Xiaoer's firm attitude, Shopkeeper Qin could only nod awkwardly.

...

After leaving Luoshui Pavilion, Chu Tian changed his clothes, bought some weapon fragments, and returned to Qianyang Marquis Mansion.

Next, every two or three days, Chu Tian would visit Luoshui Pavilion and sell the newly refined Explosive Flame Beads to the other party.

Then, he would buy some weapon fragments and raw materials for refining Explosive Flame Beads for his own use.

Unfortunately, Qu Xiaoer never appeared again after that time.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Late at night.

Chu Tian sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, his ten fingers pinching together, and his body strangely appeared translucent.

Through the translucent body, you can vaguely see that every bone in Chu Tian's body is slightly flashing with golden light.

Not long after.

With big beads of sweat rolling down, Chu Tian's body began to tremble violently, and he seemed to be enduring extremely great pain.

Under the magical effect of the golden light, every bone in Chu Tian's body gradually became dense and strong, and the connection between the bones and muscles became stronger.

After a while.

A black iron hammer suddenly flew out from the storage ring on Chu Tian's right index finger. Chu Tian suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his right fist, and punched the flying black iron hammer hard!

Bang!

In an instant, the silence in the room was broken.

The seemingly incomparably hard black hammer was smashed to pieces by Chu Tian's punch, and countless black iron chips rushed to the surroundings at high speed and then fell to the ground.

"After more than a month of hard work, I finally broke through to the peak of the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm!"

Sweeping the black iron chips on the ground, Chu Tian's mouth slowly raised a satisfied arc.
