Chapter 41: God's Gift, Gong Sun Space
"Ugh……", He Lianuo only felt that this extraordinary shout had stimulated him to the point of almost vomiting blood. Buying treasures? Brother, are you afraid that there aren't enough bad people paying attention to us? Can we be even more high-profile than this?
As expected, Lei Shuo's loud shout had an unexpectedly good effect, and the people in the market all turned to look over at the sound that was as loud as a thunderclap. Selling treasures? Although merchants have always been boastful since ancient times, this one's boasting is... too straightforward, right?
No matter whether Leishuo's shouting was justified or not, at least it achieved the purpose of attracting attention. The crowded market began to surge in his direction, and those closest to him even squatted down to start appraising the goods displayed by Helian No. Since this Lanyue City was known as one of the largest trading markets on the Youyue Continent, there were naturally people who truly knew their stuff. Before long, several astonished voices emerged from among the onlookers:
"What the... is this a Soul Origin Sacred Fruit?! It really is a Soul Origin Sacred Fruit! I haven't seen such an intact Soul Origin Sacred Fruit in decades! Good heavens, just this one fruit can be exchanged for a sixth-grade soul beast! ", An old man with white hair and beard stared at the stall with shining eyes, his face extremely excited. If he didn't care about the seller's feelings, he would have rushed over to snatch the fruit away.
"Nine-veined Lingzhi? Does this thing really exist in the world? My god! It's really a nine-vein!", A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes stared at a white Lingzhi on the stall, swallowing his saliva and rubbing his eyes from time to time, as if he didn't dare to believe it. His tone already had an uncontrollable tremble.
More and more people crowded over, the small stall was surrounded by the crowd along with Hellenore and Leshaw, the little wolf that had been quietly lying beside Hellenore was startled to stand up, issuing a low growl with threatening meaning from between its teeth, unfortunately this low voice was soon drowned out in the noisy crowd.
Not good! He Lianuo's heart suddenly gave rise to a sense of foreboding, looking at the crowd with fervent eyes, he knew that he had already committed the taboo of revealing his wealth, if he didn't quickly escape, those few precious treasures on the stall would bring him fatal disaster. Seeing several people in the crowd starting to eye him with ill intentions, He Lianuo knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. With a loud shout, he suddenly stood up and grabbed the items on the stall, throwing them into the distant crowd, while he himself pulled Leishen and squeezed open a path, dashing in the opposite direction. Xiao Lang followed closely behind, carrying Xuanwu's shell with Ballball on his back.
The crowd was stunned by Helian's unexpected action, and immediately rushed towards the direction where the treasures fell. At this moment, who still cared about Heliano's whereabouts? Everyone knew that as long as they could grab even one treasure, they would undoubtedly become a giant rich man overnight!
Although the merchants here are all worth millions, they still squeeze forward desperately. No one understands the difficulty of making money better than them. Precisely because they understand, they yearn for this unjust wealth even more. They don't want ordinary people to get these riches for nothing. The crowd pushes and squeezes, competing with each other, constantly falling down, constantly being trampled. Just now it was a bustling city, but now it's performing the ugliness and baseness of human nature.
Khaleno grabbed Leishen and ran wildly until they were both out of breath, then stopped and leaned against the wall beside them, panting heavily. Only Xiaolang was still nonchalant, calmly observing his surroundings.
This place is already far from that market, and it's hard to see a single person. The degree of damage to the houses is even considered a slum in this old city of Langyue. He Lianuo caught his breath and looked around, seeing no one, he put down his guard and casually found a broken house to rest in.
After that desperate sprint, everyone's stomach was even hungrier. Helian No thought of the people in the market who said that the things he casually put out were rare treasures. He quickly opened his package and found that there were still many of the old man's Soul Yuan Sacred Fruits inside. Helian No took out a few and handed them to everyone, thinking that this thing was a treasure after all, and eating a little would comfort their stomachs.
He Lianuo slowly put the sacred fruit in his hand into his mouth, but felt that this thing melted as soon as it entered, and instantly turned into a very warm current surging into his stomach. His stomach, which was originally rumbling with hunger, was suddenly comfortable after being warmed by the current. Immediately, a very comfortable feeling arose all over his body, and he immediately became much more spirited. He Lianuo looked at others who were also surprised and delighted in their hearts, secretly thinking that this sacred fruit indeed had an amazing effect.
A few small fruits solved everyone's problem, which was unexpected by He Lianuo. Seeing that the market could not be visited, everyone decided to rest here temporarily tonight, and other strategies would be considered tomorrow.
The sky gradually darkened, and people began to return one after another. Helian Nuo saw through the broken walls that those who lived here were all thin and frail, with tattered clothes, and realized that this place was just like where he used to beg in his previous life - a gathering place for the poor and downtrodden of the entire city.
As they were thinking, the creaky door of the room where Helianuo was in was pushed open, and everyone looked up to see a thin black child holding a broken bowl with a missing edge, pushing the door open. The child noticed the crowd in the room and hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything, walking straight to the corner of the wall and sitting down slowly, picking up a piece of dark steamed bun from the broken bowl and swallowing it with difficulty.
Herenao couldn't help but pause at this scene, thinking to himself that this young man was so similar to his own fallen self in his past life. The same tattered clothes, the same emaciated body, the same expression of indifference and apathy. Having personally experienced such a life, Herenao understood it best - this young man had already lost interest and confidence in life, and what kept him alive now was merely human instinct.
As he watched the young man struggle to swallow the rice ball, Helian Nuo suddenly felt a pang in his nose and involuntarily pulled out a Soul Origin Sacred Fruit from his bosom. He stood up and walked to the front of the young man, who raised his head cautiously at the sound and looked at him quietly, with no fear or curiosity in his eyes, only vigilance.
He Lianuo stood far away, his right hand holding the sacred fruit and slowly handed it to the young man. The young man hesitated for a moment, but quickly took the fruit and threw it into his mouth.
He Lianuo couldn't help but smile wryly, and immediately turned around to walk back to his original seat. He knew that the young man wouldn't thank him, perhaps in the other person's eyes, his behavior could only be considered charity.
Everyone could see that the young man was also startled by the effect of the fruit, and after a while, he realized that the warmth in his body was harmless before he put down his mind. He looked at Helianuo heavily with one eye, then narrowed his eyes and leaned against the wall to rest.
Khalenno also closed his eyes, but he wasn't sleeping. Instead, he sank his consciousness into the ocean of his mind and called out to Gong Sunjian.
Before long, Gong Sunjian's tall and thin figure slowly appeared in front of Helian Nuo. Perhaps due to the nine years of cultivation, his originally ethereal soul body was becoming more real by the minute. If he hadn't known that this was his own mind, Helian Nuo would have almost thought that the person standing before him wasn't a soul shadow, but a living, breathing human being.
Apparently dissatisfied with the disturbance to Helian, Gong Sunjan said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy cultivating and don't have time to waste on you!"
He Lianuo said, "You old thing, relying on others for support, what are you acting so arrogant about? Be careful, I can kill you with just a thought!" However, at this moment, he had to ask for something from him, and couldn't help but fawn all over him. He smiled and bowed his head, responding in a low voice: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have disturbed your cultivation, elder. It's just that I have a request, and I hope you'll grant it."
Gongsun Jian heard this and couldn't help but snort, "Old man, now you have a request for me, you know to call me old man. Before wasn't it all 'old monk' this and that? However, he didn't dare put on too many airs either, after all, he was still inside someone else's body, so it's better not to make things too difficult for him."
He Lian saw that Gong Sun did not express any approval or disapproval, so he knew he was tacitly allowing him to continue speaking. He hastily added: "I suppose you also saw it, the treasure I casually took out today almost brought me mortal danger in the market. As they say, 'wealth should not be revealed', but I have many such treasures on my body. If someone else sees them in the future, I'm afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble again. But throwing them away is really unbearable. You are the direct descendant of the Space Soul family, the only one on the continent... Can you get me a space necklace or a space ring?"
"Space Ring?", Gong Sunjian suddenly raised his tone, he had expected Helian Nuo to make a big request with such a low and humble attitude, but still didn't think that he would directly ask for a Space Ring! Is a Space Ring something that ordinary people can have? To know that there are at least tens of millions of souls on the entire Youyue Continent, but all the Space Rings combined don't exceed one hundred! The materials required to make this Space Ring are extremely rare, and only the Gong Sun family has the ability to produce it, with a very low success rate. Gong Sunjian knew the method to make a Space Ring, but had never done it personally, let alone now, where would he find suitable materials?
He Lianuo obviously didn't know that the space ring was such a precious thing, and when he saw Gong Sun's astonished expression, he secretly scolded him for being stingy, but his mouth kept saying good things, until finally even using the method of destroying Gong Sun's soul to threaten him.
Gongsun Jian had already been frightened into a cold sweat, and he knew in his heart that the little scoundrel in front of him was capable of doing anything. If he didn't give him a satisfactory result, who knows, he might really kill himself. After some deliberation, Gongsun Jian finally let out a sigh and said with some depression: "Alas, I'm afraid of you. This spatial ring is short of materials and I won't be able to make it, but...I can give you a space directly!"
