Chapter 67: Contend For
Chapter 67: Contend For
After Lou Mu Yan squeezed through, she saw a sloppy middle-aged man with a stall in front of him. On the stall was a pile of Spars that were suitable for refining Magic Tools. Among them was a palm-sized dark grey stone that caught her attention.
Buy that dark grey stone. You must buy it. Mo Yans eager voice resounded in her Sea of Consciousness.
Lou Mu Yan gently poked the little beast on his back with her finger, indicating that she knew.
After listening carefully to the conversations around her, Lou Mu Yan obtained some useful information from their words.
This middle-aged man wanted to trade the Spar on the table, but he required the dark grey stone to be the main item of trade. More importantly, he only wanted a Demonic Beast skin of Tier 5 or higher. Those that didnt know the value of the grey stone all thought the man was just indulging in a wild fantasy.
The Spars qualities were all quite good, so it attracted a lot of peoples attention, but it was a pity that the man simply wouldnt yield, so after so long, the things on the stall still hadnt been traded out.
Lou Mu Yan held back the look in her eyes, reached out and picked up the dark grey stone in her hand to play with, then asked casually: What kind of Spar is this?
She had observed from the look of the man that even he didnt know the origin of this stone, thats why she asked this question.
The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Lou Mu Yan impatiently, Dont know.
You dont know and you still want to trade this for such a high-level Demonic Beast skin? Xiao Zi Ang who had followed Lou Mu Yan in squeezing through couldnt help but cut in.
The look on the mans face was even more impatient, and he said with a very bad tone: Ive said it many times. I can feel that this stones extraordinary, so I want to trade it. You can believe it or not. If you want to trade, then stay, if you dont, then put the stone back and get lost.
If it werent that a Spirit Treasure he was refining required a high-level Demonic Beast skin, he wouldnt take out these materials that were used for Smithing to trade. Especially the dark grey stone. It always gave him a mysterious and unpredictable feel. These ignorant people asking these questions really made him annoyed.
Whats with your attitude? You Xiao Zi Ang wanted to say more, but Lou Mu Yan turned her head to stop him with her gaze.
I want your pile of Spars. Lou Mu Yan played with the dark grey stone in one hand, and with the other, she pointed to the pile of Spars of varying colours on the table.
Xiao Zi Ang glared at Lou Mu Yan speechlesslythis woman was truly a prodigal lady.
Hearing Lou Mu Yans words, the middle-aged man thought she just wanted to buy the Spars on the table like the people before, so he said with a poor attitude: I dont sell individual Spars. If you want it, you need to trade me a Tier 5 Demonic Beast skin. I only sell the stone youre holding.
Lou Mu Yan wasnt angry at the mans attitude. Having to consistently repeat things he had been saying was frustrating for sure. She chuckled and nodded casually: I only want the Spars on your table, but since you want to sell it like that, thats fine. Ill trade.
Hearing Lou Mu Yans words, the man raised his head and looked at her squarely, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes. It wasnt the brilliance of seeing a beauty, but it was the excitement of obtaining a Demonic Beast skin he wanted.
Then give me a Tier 5 Demonic Beast skin. Preferably fire attribute. The man said with a rare, pleasant tone.
The corner of Lou Mu Yans eyes twitched. This man sure had many demands. However, a Smith having a strange temperament was normal. After all, having to deal with fire day in day out, fire poison would accumulate in their body, which naturally meant it would affect their temperament. Therefore, many Smiths were very irritable.
Eldest Brother, contribute a Tier 5 Demonic Beast for use. Lou Mu Yan knew that Lou Mu Bai had the corpse of a Tier 5 Demonic Beast, so she asked with a big smile.
Lou Mu Bai didnt know why his younger sister wanted this pile of Spars. He felt that she cared more about the grey stone in her hand, but he was unconditional in pampering his younger sister, so he took out a Tier 5 Water Crocodiles corpse and said, I dont have a fire attribute Demonic Beast corpse, only a water attribute corpse.
The middle-aged man looked at the corpse of the Water Crocodile on the floor with furrowed brows. His eyes revealed a bit of conflicting emotions. If the Spirit Treasure he refined could obtain a fire attribute Demonic Beast skin, then it could be even better, but materials were scarce right now, so he could only make do.
Just when the middle-aged man wanted to agree, a females voice rang from the crowd.
This Young Miss wants that pile of Spars and that dark grey stone.
Then, everyone saw a tender and beautiful woman in a red dress with an arrogant and domineering attitude walk towards them after leading a few people to drive the onlookers away.
You have a Tier 5 fire attribute Demonic Beast skin? The middle-aged man retracted his gaze on the Water Crocodile and looked up at the woman who opened her mouth. If he could have a fire attribute Demonic Beasts armour, then he would naturally choose something more beneficial to him.
Of course. The woman raised her chin proudly.
Hey, arent you too unfair. Obviously this was something we ordered first, and we already gave you the Demonic Beasts corpse, but you actually want to back out. Xiao Zi Ang had long felt that the middle-aged man was unpleasant, and now he was angered. This man with no ethics was just too classless.
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Zi Ang and said: Didnt we just fail the transaction? I need fire attribute materials. Now that there is, why should I choose the water attribute Demonic Beast skin that I could just barely use?
Of course, I, Huo Xiao, am not a villain. Ill compensate you with some Spars for free in a bit. He indeed went back on his word, so it was nothing to compensate some Spars to these little children.
When Lou Mu Yan heard Huo Xiaos words, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, then she had a plan in her heart.
Take out the skin of your fire attribute Tier 5 Demonic Beast for a look. Huo Xiao turned his head to the red-clothed woman and said with an attitude that didnt appear too enthusiastic.
With a thought, a fire-attribute Crimson Fox appeared on the ground.
Huo Xiao crouched down and took a look. The Crimson Fox was a bit small but given that the Demonic Skin was of the fire attribute, it was more suitable for him than the Water Crocodile.
Can you still take out a fire-attribute Demonic Beast skin? If you cant, then Ill trade with her. Huo Xiao was actually not that satisfied with the Crimson Fox as he wanted a scaled Demonic Beast, so he looked at Lou Mu Yan and asked, though rather hopelessly.
Pfft! The red-clothed woman sneered, with disdain in her eyes: If she could take it out, she wouldve taken it out a long time ago. Isnt it unnecessary to ask?
The woman in red looked askance at Lou Mu Yan, and when she moved her gaze to the white Demonic Beast she was holding, an understanding flashed across her eyes.
She also decided to buy the pile of Spars and that inconspicuous dark grey stone because the Fire Cloud Mink in her Spirit Pet Bangle called attention to it. Although she didnt know what sort of stone it was, but she knew that sometimes the more inconspicuous something was, the more of a treasure it was.
You, hurry up and bring that grey stone over. Xin Ying Xuan, the woman in red, pointed her finger at Lou Mu Yan with slight contempt on her face.
Lou Mu Yans eyes turned cold. She hated other people pointing their fingers at her the most. She noted this arrogant and cocky woman down.
Who said I dont want it anymore? Lou Mu Yan shook the stone in between her two fingers in front of the crowd, and said lazily, Today, Im definitely taking this!
Your tone sure isnt soft. If you take out an even higher-level fire attribute Demonic Beast corpse, then why shouldnt this Young Miss let you. Xin Ying Xuans eyes were full of disdain.
