“Two.”
The old cultivator suddenly “hehe” smiled, holding the broken porcelain bowl in his hand and asked Luo Hong and Jiang Yu with a smile:
“Two, if you don’t want to continue bidding, this ancient porcelain bowl of mine will belong to this little brother.”
As soon as she heard this, Jiang Yu immediately said nervously:
“Old guy, who said we don’t want to continue bidding?”
As she spoke, she pulled Luo Hong’s arm and asked for help:
“Cousin, two spiritual marrow crystals are only one thousand top-grade spirit crystals. Will you lend me another five hundred top-grade spirit crystals?”
Seeing Luo Hong’s ugly face, she immediately added:
“Cousin, don’t worry. What I borrowed from you today, I will definitely return it when I go home!”
Luo Hong rolled his eyes at Jiang Yu angrily and said:
“Five hundred top-grade spirit crystals is not a small amount!”
Seeing that the two couldn’t make a decision for a long time, the stall owner immediately looked at Xu Taiping with some impatience and said:
“Little cultivator, this ancient porcelain bowl is yours, come and get it.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately pleaded with Luo Hong again:
“Cousin, I promise you that as long as you can help me buy this small porcelain bowl, I will obediently go home with you!”
When Luo Hong heard this, his expression finally loosened a little and said:
“You are not allowed to go back on your word!”
Jiang Yu immediately raised her palm again and promised:
“I swear!”
Immediately, Luo Hong was seen stopping the stall owner and saying:
“Old man, 1,001 top-grade spirit crystals, surely that’s better than those two spirit marrow crystals, right?”
When the elderly cultivator heard this, he immediately grinned and said:
“Naturally, naturally. I just said that the things here go to the highest bidder!”
When Luo Hong heard this, he turned his head to look at Xu Taiping and said with a slight raise of the corner of his mouth:
“Kid, do you still have a third spirit marrow crystal on you?”
Jiang Yu also said provocatively at this time:
“Come on, raise the price again!”
The two of them were competing with Xu Taiping for this porcelain bowl at this moment, and a large part of the reason was out of pique.
Regarding the siblings’ raising of the price again.
Xu Taiping still didn’t have much of a reaction.
Therefore, for him who already knew the origin of this porcelain bowl, not to mention two spirit essence crystals, even if it was twenty spirit essence crystals in exchange for a Confucian holy object, it would still be no different from picking it up for free.
At this time, the stall owner suddenly smiled and looked at Xu Taiping and said:
“Little cultivator, that’s about it. Let’s give this ancient porcelain bowl to these two.”
He immediately added:
Our loose cultivators’ meager financial resources compared with those of their sects and families are simply a drop in the bucket.”
Although the stall owner’s words were full of contempt, in fact, he was euphemistically pointing out the identities of the two siblings and persuading Xu Taiping not to compete with them for it.
Xu Taiping, who was originally very dissatisfied with this stall owner.
After hearing these words, he had a slight change of opinion.
However, in the end, Xu Taiping still shook his head and took out another spirit essence crystal, and said seriously with a straight face:
“Thank you for the senior’s advice, but I really like this ancient porcelain. In my opinion, with the appearance of this ancient porcelain, the price of three spirit essence crystals is actually not high.
Upon hearing this.
And looking at the three spirit essence crystals in Xu Taiping’s hand.
Both the stall owner and the Luo Hong siblings were stunned in place.
This time, the stall owner in the guise of an elderly cultivator did not show as much joy as before. Instead, his face was solemn (solemn) and he said:
”Little guy, have you really considered it clearly?”
As he spoke, he looked at Luo Hong and Jiang Yu, whose faces were extremely ugly at the moment, and continued with a profound tone:
”Even if you can come up with three spirit marrow crystals, but if it’s just because of a bet, then it’s not worth it.”
The old stall owner almost said directly that it’s no different from courting death for you to offend two sect family disciples because of a bet.
Xu Taiping naturally heard the profound meaning in the old stall owner’s words.
But in the end, he still decided to persist and said:
”Senior’s reminder is right, but I still think that if I can get this ancient porcelain at the current price, it’s very worthwhile.”
Seeing that Xu Taiping was so resolute, the old stall owner not only didn’t continue to persuade, but instead nodded with extremely appreciative eyes and said:
”Young people, it’s always good to have some temper.”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Luo Hong and Jiang Yu with ugly faces and asked:
”If you want to increase the price again, it will have to be three thousand top-grade spirit crystals. What do you two think?”
This time, Jiang Yu didn’t persuade Luo Hong anymore, but just looked at Xu Taiping with a displeased face, pouting her lips.
In her opinion, even if it’s because of liking and a bit of being sulk that porcelain bowl is far from worth three thousand top-grade spirit crystals.
Although she is impulsive, she is not stupid.
Luo Hong is naturally even more so.
I saw Luo Hong with his hands crossed over his chest, looking at Xu Taiping with a cold smile and said:
“As the saying goes, you don’t know a person until you fight with him. I am Luo Hong of the Three Corpse Cave. I wonder if this little Taoist friend can tell me your name?”
However, Xu Taiping seemed to have not heard at all. He directly handed the three spiritual marrow crystals in his hand to the old stall owner and said:
“Senior, please check these three spiritual marrow crystals.”
After seeing Xu Taiping ignore Luo Hong, Jiang Yu immediately said angrily:
“Little guy, my cousin is talking to you!”
Xu Taiping, who had already handed out the spiritual marrow crystals, looked at Luo Hong and Jiang Yu with a calm face, and then said with a full face of apology:
“I am just a casual cultivator, and my name is not worth mentioning.”
Luo Hong’s face suddenly turned cold.
In his opinion, Xu Taiping had rejected his last kindness.
Just when the atmosphere in front of the booth was a little solemn, the old stall owner suddenly laughed heartily and said:
“Little brother, these three spiritual marrow crystals are simply top-notch. Not to mention exchanging one for five hundred top-grade spiritual crystals, even exchanging one for six hundred is a bargain!”
Xu Taiping smiled.
The old stall owner then looked at Luo Hong and Jiang Yu and continued:
“You two, I really like these three spiritual marrow crystals. Today, no matter whether you add more money or not, this ancient porcelain belongs to this little brother.”
Luo Hong snorted and said:
“Three top-quality spiritual marrow crystals for an old bowl, who wouldn’t be happy?”
Jiang Yu also chimed in at this time:
“That’s right. Buying a broken bowl with three top-quality spiritual marrow crystals, does he really think he made a profit?”
The old stall owner smiled and said with a “hehe”:
“As the saying goes, a thousand catties can’t buy my willingness. Since this little brother thinks this ancient porcelain is worth a thousand catties, then naturally it’s not just a broken bowl.”
As he spoke, he was seen putting the ancient porcelain bowl into a wooden box and then solemnly handing it to Xu Taiping and saying:
“Little brother, this bowl is yours!”
