After saying that, he let go of the orange cat’s hand and threw it back onto Xiao Hei’s back.
After feeling the killing intent from Elder Xu, Xiao Hei immediately asked for orders from Xu Taiping and said:
“Master, as long as you give the order, Xiao Hei can immediately swallow this old cultivator.”
“Even if I can’t kill him, I can still buy you and Old Huang time to escape.”
It has to be said that the current Yin God Xiao Hei has all his thoughts and considerations only for Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping immediately comforted Xiao Hei and Huang Laodao in his heart, and then handed the wooden box in his hand to Elder Xu and said:
“The dignified Elder of the Three Corpse Cave surely wouldn’t snatch the things of a mere small cultivator like me, right?”
Elder Xu took the wooden box in Xu Taiping’s hand and sneered, saying,
“That depends on whether there is a problem with the origin of the thing in your hand!”
Upon hearing this, the old stall owner immediately snorted and said,
“Xu Laosan, how could the things sold on my stall have an improper origin?”
Obviously, the old stall owner was helping Xu Taiping.
The old stall owner continued,
“Little brother, don’t worry. As long as it is something sold in this market, even the Three Corpse Cave would never dare to seize it from your hands.
Upon hearing this, Luo Hong behind immediately glared angrily at the old stall owner and said,
“Old thing, just sell your ancient porcelain well and don’t talk nonsense here!”
Obviously, these three people from the Three Corpse Cave indeed had the idea of taking the ancient porcelain in Xu Taiping’s hand.
At this time, Elder Xu, who had played with the ancient porcelain bowl in his hand for a while, suddenly pursed his lips somewhat disappointedly and said,
“Junior Brother Luo, your eyesight is really not good. This is just an ordinary ancient porcelain. Although there is spiritual power in it, it is just the remaining spiritual power after the death of the tool spirit.”
“This ancient porcelain itself has long been a dead thing.”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Luo Hong and Jiang Yu and said with a bit of a dumbfounding expression,
“Not to mention three spiritual marrow crystals, even three top-grade spiritual crystals are not worth it!”
The old stall owner on the side immediately said angrily with a face full of anger:
“Old Xu San, this porcelain bowl of mine is at least an ancient porcelain, how come it is not even worth three top-grade spiritual crystals?”
Elder Xu looked at the old stall owner with a look of contempt and said:
“Old guy, since you recognize me, Xu San, you must have heard of my supernatural power ‘clairvoyant eyes like a torch’, right?”
Upon hearing this, the old stall owner suddenly became silent, and his face became extremely ugly.
Then, only heard Xu San snorted and said:
“Although this porcelain bowl is indeed an ancient porcelain, it is only an ancient porcelain. It may be useful for holding rice and water.”
“However, if you want to use it as a magic weapon, it is really not as powerful as a magic weapon carved from three top-grade spiritual crystals.”
The old stall owner was so angry that his face turned red.
But he couldn’t refute.
However, Xu Taiping still said with a calm expression:
“Since this is the case, then please ask Elder Xu to return this porcelain bowl to me.”
That Elder Xu said in surprise with a face full of surprise:
“Kid, I have said so clearly, haven’t you understood yet?”
He paused for a while, and then said loudly:
”Three Spiritual Essence Crystals are enough to buy a fairy weapon, but you only used them to buy a broken bowl for holding rice. You’ve been cheated!”
Luo Hong on the side sneered and said:
”Little guy, I’ll give you a piece of advice.”
He took the porcelain bowl from Elder Xu’s hand and then continued:
”Give this porcelain bowl to my sister and give us two more Spiritual Essence Crystals. Maybe Elder Xu and I can consider getting those three Spiritual Essence Crystals back for you.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Xu laughed heartily and said:
”Junior Brother Luo, your idea is not bad.”
The two of them said this, naturally not because they wanted to help Xu Taiping, but just to play with Xu Taiping and the old stall owner in the posture of superiors.
When Jiang Yu heard that the porcelain bowl could be retrieved, she immediately happily echoed:
”Little cultivator, as long as you are willing to speak up, my brother and Uncle Xu will definitely be able to get a Spiritual Essence Crystal back for you!”
She didn’t lack magic tools.
She just wanted to take this porcelain bowl back as an ornament.
Although the old stall owner was furious, knowing the identities of Xu San and Luo Hong, he still didn’t dare to speak out in anger.
However, Xu Taiping still shook his head and said:
”Thank you both for your kindness, but in the way of business, it emphasizes your willingness and my willingness. Even if I misjudged, it’s still my own matter as a junior.”
As he spoke, Xu Taiping looked at the old stall owner and said:
”I, the junior, am willing to admit it.”
When the old stall owner heard this, his eyes were suddenly filled with excitement and he said gratefully:
“Little brother is right!”
Immediately, the old stall owner handed the three spiritual crystals back to Xu Taiping and said:
“Just because of what little brother said just now, the old man doesn’t want these three spiritual marrow crystals anymore. This porcelain bowl is given to little brother!”
Xu Taiping smiled dumbly and then repeatedly waved his hand and said:
“Senior, you really don’t have to do this.”
He looked very seriously at the porcelain bowl in Xu Laosan’s hand and said:
“The younger generation really feels that the value of this ancient porcelain bowl is far above that of the three spiritual marrow crystals.”
For a while, the expressions of Luo Hong and Xu Laosan both became extremely ugly.
Xu Taiping reached out to Xu Laosan again at this time and said:
“Please return this ancient porcelain bowl to me, Elder Xu.”
At this time, there were already many cultivators watching around. Elder Xu couldn’t save face and still didn’t return the porcelain bowl. Instead, he coldly threatened Xu Taiping and said:
“Little guy, your attitude at this moment makes the old man have to suspect whether you were colluding with that old thing just now to deliberately raise the price of this ancient porcelain bowl!”
When Luo Hong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and then he echoed:
“Elder Xu is right. This kid really did seem to be deliberately jacking up the price earlier. Otherwise, it’s impossible for him to be so decisive every time he bids!”
Jiang Yu even nodded repeatedly and said:
“Uncle Xu, what you said is so right. How could such a poor little cultivator possibly take out three spiritual essence crystals for a broken bowl?”
After listening to the conversation of the three people.
Even the cultivators watching from the side nodded and echoed at this time.
At this time, Elder Xu felt that he had the game in the bag and immediately threatened Xu Taiping:
Little guy, if you still insist on refusing to return the goods then come with us and let the several stewards of this market judge.”
The old stall owner was furious at this time and said:
“Xu Laosan, who doesn’t know that one of the stewards on duty this time is from your Three Corpse Cave! If we go, even if there is nothing wrong, it will be said that there is something wrong!”
Luo Hong was furious at this time and said:
“Old thing, you are quibbling!”
The old stall owner was scolded by Luo Hong and didn’t dare to speak for a while.
Elder Xu smiled and looked at Xu Taiping again at this time and said:
“Little guy, one last chance for you. Are you going to return this thing or not?”
As he spoke, he saw Elder Xu lift the wooden box in his hand containing the ancient porcelain bowl and look at Xu Taiping with a squint and a smile.
In his opinion, this game was already in the bag.
“Pa!”
Just at this moment, before Xu Taiping could open his mouth, a heavy arm suddenly rested on Xu Taiping’s shoulder.
Then, a very tall figure was seen standing beside Xu Taiping, and then, with his rough and hoarse voice, he coldly asked the Elder Xu:
“Who are you? Threatening my little brother here.”
As he said this, a majestic and imposing breath fluctuation suddenly surged like a furious wave and heavily slapped on Elder Xu of the Three Corpse Cave and the Luo Hong siblings beside him.
“Peng!”
For a moment, the body-protecting true yuan on the three of them burst open at the same time.
Xu Taiping turned his head and looked, and then the corner of his mouth raised and said:
“Senior Ding, you’re finally back.”
That’s right, the person who came was the Heavenly Hunting Great Sage.
Although the three people, Elder Xu of the Three Corpse Cave, still didn’t know the identity of the Heavenly Hunting Great Sage. But the breath on the Heavenly Hunting Great Sage was, in a sense, even more direct than the name and identity.
At this time, the Heavenly Hunting Great Sage nodded slightly to Xu Taiping, then looked at the wooden box in the hand of the third Elder Xu of the Three Corpse Cave, and then frowned and said:
“Give it here!”
Although there were only two simple words, but everyone present felt their hearts tremble, as if they were hit by the power of thunder.
This was especially true for the three people from the Three Corpse Cave who were in the front.
However, Xu Laosan still didn’t want to hand over the wooden box in his hand like this. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said:
“Senior, I am the direct disciple of the old cave master of the Three Corpse Cave. Although senior doesn’t know me, you surely can’t not know the old cave master, right?”
The Heavenly Hunt Great Sage gave Xu Laosan a blank look, said nothing, and directly took out a jade slip from his sleeve. Then, in front of the three people from the Three Corpse Cave, he transmitted his voice and said:
“Luo Yuan, if you can’t control those useless trash under your command, then your Grandpa Ding will come and manage them well on your behalf!”
Hearing this, Xu Laosan’s heart trembled immediately.
Because the Luo Yuan in the mouth of the Heavenly Hunting Great Saint was exactly the name of the old cave master of the Three Corpse Cave.
