Chapter 68: Magic Talisman and Poison Blade

At this time, Xiang Ling’er’s black eyes like gems rolled around, and then she gently crossed her hands behind her back. Her already large upper body leaned forward slightly, and she showed Bu Gong a slightly playful smile, and asked softly: “Brother Bu Gong, why don’t we go for a walk in front together? There’s nothing to do anyway.”Obviously, Xiang Ling’er, who had just arrived here, was curious about the Sanfang City and wanted to walk around and take a look.But when she asked this question, a hint of expectation appeared on Xiang Ling’er’s pretty face; and a trace of nervousness flashed across her beautiful eyes as she looked towards Bu Gong.Bu Gong felt a little amused when he saw Xiang Ling’er like this; and it happened that he had the same idea, so he nodded and agreed without much thought.After all, most girls have a hobby of shopping, and Xiang Ling’er is no exception.Seeing that Bu Gong agreed so easily, the slight nervousness on Xiang Ling’er’s cheek disappeared completely, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.However, what no one noticed was that the man in green who had just come with Xiang Ling’er frowned slightly when he saw Xiang Ling’er like this, and his expression also changed slightly.Just as Bu Gong was about to turn around, the man in green clothes beside Xiang Ling’er suddenly took a step forward, bowed to Bu Gong, and then said in a gentle tone: “My name is Zhu Mian. May I know what this junior brother’s name is?”At this time, Bu Gong, who was about to turn around, also froze because of the voice. He turned around slowly, bowed slightly to the man in green clothes and said: “Brother, you are too polite. I am Bu Gong.”As Bu Gong finished speaking, a hint of surprise deliberately flashed across the face of the man in green, and he said in a surprised tone: “Oh? Are you Junior Brother Bu Gong?”Then he seemed to remember something and chuckled, “Junior Brother Bu Gong’s name is well-known in the sect. Forgive me for being so ignorant.”Hearing the other party say this, Bu Gong vaguely understood what the other party meant; but his expression remained unchanged, and he chuckled and turned to walk forward.As for Xiang Ling’er who was standing aside, she didn’t think anything of it when she saw the two of them like this; instead, Xuan Yue, who was standing aside, glanced slightly at Bu Gong and the man in green with her beautiful eyes, as if she had noticed something.Next, the group walked along the streets of Sanfang City, stopping occasionally to look carefully at and ask questions in front of some small stalls, which was quite interesting.During this journey, Xiang Ling’er and Xuan Yue were both extremely active.Xuan Yue was fine, especially Xiang Ling’er, who was like a colorful butterfly among the crowd; coupled with the occasional silver bell-like laughter, this street, which seemed quite ancient, was filled with a bit of liveliness and vitality.”Huh? Senior Brother Bu Gong, come and take a look. This little dagger is so beautiful.” Just as Bu Gong was squatting in front of a small stall and asking the stall owner something, Xiang Ling’er’s slightly joyful shout came from not far away.As Xiang Ling’er’s voice sounded, Xuan Yue beside her also looked at the colorful small dagger that Xiang Ling’er was playing with in her hand with strange eyes.This small dagger is about an inch long and a finger wide, but it is covered with various colors; the whole thing is dyed into patterns, and it looks very beautiful at first glance.At this time, Bu Gong also came to the stall where Xiang Ling’er was. Seeing Xiang Ling’er playing with a small colorful dagger about an inch long, Bu Gong was speechless.”Isn’t it just a dagger dyed with flowers? It seems that girls all like fancy things.” Bu Gong sighed softly with emotion in his heart, and then shifted his gaze to other things on the stall.”Boy, the thing in that little girl’s hand is pretty good for you.” Just as Bu Gong was carefully looking at other things on the stall, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his mind.As a voice suddenly rang out in his mind without any warning, Bu Gong froze slightly. He immediately sent a trace of consciousness into his mind and shouted angrily to the evil spirit in a somewhat aggressive tone: “You guys, you want to scare me to death? If you want to talk, at least let me know in advance.”In response to Bu Gong’s words, the evil spirit in the killing pattern curled its lips in a rather rogue manner.”By the way, why do you want to talk to me now?” Seeing the evil spirit like this, Bu Gong asked a little helplessly.Seeing Bu Gong ask this, the evil spirit replied casually: “Nothing, I just want to come out for some fresh air.”Upon hearing this, Bu Gong rolled his eyes: “Just want to come out for some fresh air? What kind of talk is that?””By the way, you just said, ‘The thing in that little girl’s hand is pretty good to me’. What exactly were you referring to?” At this point, Bu Gong also felt a little curious.Upon hearing this, the evil spirit said lazily, “Look at the multicolored dagger held by the little girl in front of you. The colors on it are not just watercolor prints for your enjoyment, but hidden colored poisons.””Hmm?” After hearing this, Bu Gong looked at the colorful little dagger that Xiang Ling’er was playing with with some suspicion.He sent out his spiritual sense to investigate carefully, but in the end, he found nothing. Then Bu Gong asked in a puzzled tone, “What’s the use of that thing?”After a moment’s hesitation, the evil spirit said, “According to what you said, that colorful little dagger should be a spiritual weapon.” Having said this, the evil spirit paused for a moment and continued, “However, it is a spiritual weapon in a semi-wasted state.””Spiritual weapon?” Bu Gong was shocked when he heard this. His mind raced, and then he asked in a serious tone, “The spiritual weapon you are talking about, could it be something above the magic weapon?””Aren’t you talking nonsense?” The evil spirit cursed angrily when he saw Bu Gong asking this.The vague suspicion in his heart was confirmed, and Bu Gong felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. Then, as if remembering something, he said, “You mean that colorful little dagger is a broken spiritual weapon?””Well, I see that you are extremely poor and don’t even have a decent magic weapon. You might lose your life at any time, so I just wanted to help you keep an eye on it on a whim,” said the evil spirit.Hearing the evil spirit say this, Bu Gong immediately cut off contact with the evil spirit; at this time, his mind was already focused on the colorful little dagger in Xiang Ling’er’s hand.At this time, Xiang Ling’er put the colorful little dagger back to its original place and planned to get up and go somewhere else.As for Bu Gong, he slowly squatted down at this time, his eyes moving around, looking at the other things on the stall.After a moment, he casually picked up a worn, palm-sized green pot from the stall, then waved to the stall owner and asked, “How much is this?””Hehe… What’s the matter, young man? You want to buy this thing?” But the stall owner did not directly tell the price at this time. Instead, he asked Bu Gong with a smile.Upon hearing this, Bu Gong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked at the owner of the stall.The man was wearing a gray cloth robe, with slightly protruding cheekbones, his eyes habitually narrowed, and a small mustache on his chin. The first impression he gave was that of a meticulous person.You have to know that doing business or negotiating deals with this kind of people basically won’t bring you any benefits.”I’m just asking about the price. It’s impossible for you to buy it just because I ask, right?” Bu Gong replied with a faint smile.Hearing Bu Gong say this, the stall owner glanced at the worn little pot in Bu Gong’s hand, then smiled slightly: “Five energy crystals.”In response to this, Bu Gong curled his lips and muttered a few words with a hint of dissatisfaction. He took the small pot and studied it repeatedly for a while, then said in a somewhat uncertain tone: “I want it.” Then he took out five milky white energy crystals and threw them to the middle-aged man opposite. At the same time, he put away the shabby little green pot and prepared to get up.Bu Gong’s behavior made the stall owner’s eyes narrow slightly; there was also a hint of suspicion in his eyes as he looked at Bu Gong.Obviously, he himself was not sure whether the small broken pot that Bu Gong took away was some good thing that was covered in dust.Just when Bu Gong was about to stand up, he inadvertently glanced at Xiang Ling’er who was standing next to him. After a slight pause, he chuckled and asked, “Why, are you interested in that colorful dagger?”As for Xiang Ling’er at this time, she was still stunned because Bu Gong had just bought an unknown little broken pot.Hearing Bu Gong ask this again, she was about to shake her head; but just as she looked at Bu Gong with her beautiful eyes and was about to speak, she instantly caught a glimpse of a strange color that flashed across Gong’s eyes.This made Xiang Ling’er swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.At the same time, a quick thought flashed through her mind. Then her tone changed, a hint of joy appeared on her pretty face, and she nodded quickly and said, “Well, that colorful little dagger is so beautiful.”Seeing Xiang Ling’er like this, Bu Gong felt relieved. He squatted down again, picked up the colorful dagger that Xiang Ling’er had just put down, and waved to the middle-aged man behind the stall.At this moment, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and stared at Bu Gong indifferently; after a moment, seeing that Bu Gong did not show any strange expression, he hesitantly spit out a number: “Ten energy crystals.”Upon hearing this, Bu Gong’s expression changed, and he said in a slightly gloomy tone, “You want ten energy crystals for just this decorative dagger?”In response, the middle-aged man stared at Bu Gong’s face calmly, and after a while he said, “Eight energy crystals, no less.”This made Bu Gong’s mouth twitch slightly, but then he saw an embarrassed look flash across his face; he turned his head and laughed dryly at Xuan Yue, then asked: “Senior Sister Xuan, do you have three energy crystals? Lend them to me for a while.””Huh?” Seeing Bu Gong like this, Xuan Yue was a little stunned for a moment, but three energy crystals still appeared in his jade hand.Similarly, Xiang Ling’er also took out three energy crystals at this time. Just when she was about to give them to Bu Gong, she saw the man in green behind him waving his hand, and suddenly eight energy crystals shining with milky white light flew towards the stall owner.In this case, Bu Gong did not stop it. He saved as much as possible. Since others were generous enough to pay the bill for him, he would reluctantly accept it.At this time, Bu Gong looked at the colorful little dagger in his hand with an unwilling look; he saw his eyes sweeping over other items on the stall again.With his eyes wandering, Bu Gong casually picked up a black talisman that was as ordinary as it could be from the edge of the stall. Then he said to the middle-aged man, “How about adding this black talisman? Otherwise, I will be at a great disadvantage. I am only buying something that my junior sister likes for her.”The middle-aged man opposite glanced at the old black talisman in Bu Gong’s hand; after a slight hesitation, he nodded.After putting away his things, Bu Gong stood up and walked away; Xiang Ling’er and Xuan Yue behind him naturally followed him.As for Hou Ming and the man in green, although they were dissatisfied, when they saw Xiang Ling’er and Xuan Yue walking away, they followed them.At this time, Bu Gong was talking to the evil spirit in his mind.”What was this black talisman you asked me to take later? Why do I feel like it’s just an ordinary first-grade, lower-level talisman?””Humph, what do you know, kid? Honestly, this black talisman is much more valuable than that colorful little dagger.””Then tell me what this is? I hope it won’t become waste.””Hey… you don’t believe me when I say you’re short-sighted, but this is a black magic talisman.”
