Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 317: Whoever offends you, smash them!
Xia Mian smiled meaningfully, "Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist."
As Xia Mian’s words fell, Gu Zhi took the initiative to speak, "She indeed has such an elixir, I am one of the beneficiaries. I used to have an ordinary physique, but now, look..."
After Gu Zhi said this, she moved her fingers lightly, and spiritual light waves continuously surged at her fingertips.
The stall owner’s face showed a slight change, but he didn’t take Gu Zhi’s words at face value, "Who knows if you’re in cahoots!"
Xia Mian glanced at him, "If you don’t want to trade, that’s fine. Anyway, this thing is as useless as chicken ribs to me, but my elixir to you..."
Xia Mian deliberately left her sentence unfinished and turned to leave.
Seeing Xia Mian about to leave, the vendor became anxious, "Wait!"
Xia Mian turned her head and looked at him with a half-smile, "What? You’re not afraid I’ll trick you now?"
The vendor forced a smile, "This thing is useless to me as well, since you want it, let’s trade!"
Even if he was being deceived, he’d just consider it paying for a lesson!
Xia Mian remained calm and pulled an elixir bottle from her pocket, pouring out one for the vendor, then she took the thing resembling a "Tai Sui" and put it away.
As Xia Mian poured out the elixir from the bottle, the vendor’s gut felt uneasy; had he really been tricked?
An elixir that improves physique is hard to come by, and this young girl is storing them in a bottle?
Noticing the vendor’s doubt, Xia Mian slowly looked up at him and kindly reminded, "You’d better swallow this elixir quickly, lest things change."
Only then did the vendor lower his head to look at the elixir in his hand; though he understood nothing, the elixir seemed to emit a deadly allure, a faint fragrance rushing to his nostrils!
The vendor instinctively stuffed the elixir into his mouth, swallowing it whole.
The moment he swallowed the elixir, he felt as if something had broken through his previously blocked veins, something suddenly connected...
The vendor’s vision immediately cleared; the elixir was real!
He hurriedly looked up to find Xia Mian’s figure, but she was already gone, and he couldn’t recall how she looked!
Only then did the vendor realize he had encountered an expert!
Xia Mian took the Tai Sui-like item and nonchalantly handed it to Gu Zhi, "Keep it safe!"
Gu Zhi blinked, "For me?"
Xia Mian said calmly, "This thing will be very useful to you."
With Gu Zhi’s current ability, entering the Gu Family’s competition for young talents was like delivering food, so before the event, Xia Mian had to help Gu Zhi improve.
After speaking, Xia Mian turned and continued walking forward.
Gu Zhi looked at the item in her arms, her eyes slightly moist. Since birth, only Qin Shuang cared for her, and she only had Ji Ling as a friend, but now, Xia Mian was treating her as a friend too.
Xia Mian walked a bit further and stopped at another stall.
She crouched down and picked up a hammer. The hammer had some heft to it, entirely black, with dirt stuck to the hammerhead, making it seem a bit unrefined.
Yet Xia Mian asked while holding the hammer, "How much for this hammer?"
The vendor chuckled, "Miss, just give me any cultivation technique in exchange!"
Xia Mian was straightforward, offering him some novice cultivator’s entry-level cultivation techniques.
After buying the hammer, Xia Mian tossed it to Gu Zhi again, "Take it; next time someone bothers you, if you can’t stand them, just hammer them to death directly!"
Gu Zhi held the hammer, slightly amused yet speechless. She had been in the mystical world for some time and seen many cultivators there. She’d seen swords, knives, whips, but never anyone using a hammer.
Yet Xia Mian saw no issue with it and smiled, "This hammer is not simple."
Gu Zhi just smiled without speaking. Xia Mian claimed everything she traded for at the fair was not simple, but how could ordinary people possess so much good stuff?
However, since Xia Mian said it was for her, regardless of its quality, she would take it all.
After browsing around, Xia Mian found nothing else of interest and was ready to head back home.
As they left the trade fair, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to notice a familiar figure.
When she looked again, the figure had vanished. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Xia Mian slightly furrowed her brows, "Just now, I thought I saw the pirate leader from the Sea Market."
Lu Zechuan glanced back, "Where?"
Xia Mian shook her head, "Gone."
Lu Zechuan said softly, "Perhaps you just saw wrong."
Xia Mian gave a light nod and didn’t continue on the subject.
That defeated opponent didn’t concern her much anyway.
As Xia Mian and the others left the trade fair, some members of the Gu Family came forward to greet them eagerly, and exotic beasts with carts were waiting at the gate.
Although Gu Xing did not appear, the Gu Family was constantly monitoring every move of Xia Mian and her companions.
They boarded a cart to return to the Gu Family, and the journey was silent.
In some corner of the trade fair, Xiao Minglu peeked his head out sneakily, feeling his luck was incredibly bad!
Getting tricked by Xia Mian within an inch of his life at the Sea Market was bad enough, but now, having fled to Gu City to trade treasures for survival, he still encountered Xia Mian!
Xiao Minglu was frustrated but didn’t dare seek revenge on Xia Mian.
After all, surviving unscathed under the Sea King’s hand was a skill he could never hope to match!
On the other side, Xia Mian returned to the Gu Family and then set up a barrier in the room they arranged for her.
It was still early; Gu Zhi and Xia Weizhang also returned to the room with Xia Mian, placing all the items Xia Mian had traded for today on the table.
Xia Mian glanced at the Tai Sui Stone on the table, looking serious, "This thing will greatly benefit your training."
Gu Zhi smiled, "Miss Xia, going through all this trouble for me."
Xia Mian waved her hand, "Since I promised Qin Shuang to help you return to the Gu Family, I’ll make sure you return in glory."
"I’ll help you refine it, and you take it immediately," Xia Mian said, suspending her palm over the Tai Sui Stone.
Gu Zhi’s expression froze, "Refine?"
Though it looked like Tai Sui, it was still a stone!!
Can it still be edible after refining?
Under Gu Zhi’s bewildered gaze, Xia Mian earnestly nodded, "The refined essence can directly grant you over ten years of cultivation."
Otherwise, why would she follow Gu Xing to the trade fair?
Wasn’t it just to find some hidden gems and sharpen Gu Zhi before the event?
As it turned out, luck was on her side, and she hit the jackpot!
Hearing this, Gu Zhi felt unsettled, "Ten years of cultivation?!!"
That’s like leveling up at rocket speed!
Indeed, as Qin Shuang said, following the wolf is the only way to feast!
Only by clinging to a bigger fish can one climb higher and higher!
Xia Mian acted quickly and, in front of the three, summoned the Treasure Cauldron, threw in the Tai Sui Stone after lighting the fire.
Lu Zechuan slightly narrowed his eyes, giving Gu Zhi a profound look.
This woman, to have met Xia Mian in this lifetime, must have accumulated merit over eight lifetimes.
