Chapter 461: Picking up Something Good and Earning Big
This was because the owner of the stall did not know what exactly this black rock was. Even if he wanted to come up with something, he had nothing to build on.
After thinking for a long time, he still could not come up with anything. Thus, he could only resort to being mysterious and smiled, “Young Hero, you must know this!”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “I really don’t!”
The owner of the store was in a rush to give a price but when he saw that Xiao Chen was not biting his bait, he felt very depressed. He really did not know how else to introduce this.
Xiao Chen’s lips curled up and said, “If you are not going to tell me then never mind. I shall be leaving first!”
The owner of the stall quickly got up and stopped Xiao Chen. He said anxiously, “Young Hero, don’t leave yet. If you truly do not know, then I will explain it to you.”
Xiao Chen said curiously, “So, what exactly is this?”
The owner of the stall thought hard and fast. After a while, he said, “This black rock is a Rank 10 Spirit Beast’s egg. If you hug it against your belly when you sleep everyday, after forty-nine days, the life within the egg will sense your life force. In another forty-nine days, the sh.e.l.l will slowly undergo a metamorphosis. Then, in another forty-nine days, the young of a Rank 10 Spirit Beast will hatch.”
The owner of the stall said all of this one breath. After he finished, he took a deep breath. He praised himself in his heart. Even he did not expect himself to be able to come up with all that.
Xiao Chen laughed in his heart. He really admired this person. Being able to boast to this level was truly a difficult thing to achieve.
Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged. He only said doubtfully, “A Rank 10 Spirit Beast Egg? Is that really true?”
The owner of the stall said very seriously, “It is absolutely true. All you have to do is to give me a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and it is yours.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t believe that. Why don’t you sleep with it for forty-nine days first. When the sh.e.l.l changes, I will come and buy it.”
The owner of the stall originally thought that Xiao Chen had believed him. He had not expected him this say something like that. This was just a rock, how could it change after sleeping with it.
The owner of the stall smiled embarra.s.sedly and said, “This thing…it would only be effective if you sleep with it yourself. Otherwise, the Spirit Beast would not acknowledge you as its master.”
Xiao Chen directly said, “It’s too inconvenient. I will only offer 500,000 Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. I have already purchased so much from you and spent a lot. In my opinion, even ten thousand is too much. I shall take my leave first!”
“Don’t go, ten thousand is fine. This black rock is yours.” The owner of the stall immediately shoved the raw Astral Iron into Xiao Chen’s arms, not letting him leave.
He then smiled and said, “Well now, Young Hero, you have purchased it already. It’s time to pay up!”
Xiao Chen looked at the raw Astral Iron in his arms. He felt both like crying and laughing. Originally, he had just been afraid of the owner of the stall noticing that he was interested in this and giving him a nonsensical price.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the stall has now shoved it into his arms and only wanted ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Compared to the value of Astral Iron, it was no different from giving it to him for free.
The owner of the stall even thought that he had gained a great advantage and was afraid that Xiao Chen would regret and change his mind.
Xiao Chen did not say anything else and directly tossed ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones to the other party. He then kept the raw Astral Iron and immediately turned to leave.
The owner of the store watched Xiao Chen leave. A huge smile filled his face as he said to himself, “If more of these rich heirs came everyday, it would not be hard for me to become rich!”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and continued looking around the market. As he searched for a Fist Technique, he looked around to see if there was any chance to pick up something good.
Time slowly went by. Xiao Chen had already seen tens of Fist Techniques. However, they were all Medial Grade Earth Ranked Fist Techniques. There were very few Superior Grade Fist Techniques.
The ones that Xiao Chen found did not match his attributes or situation. It was hard to find a pure lightning-attributed Fist Technique.
As for peak Superior Grade Earth Ranked Fist Techniques, Xiao Chen had not even seen one. After looking around for a long time, he could not help but feel disappointed.
It looked like it would be very difficult for him to find a suitable Superior Grade Fist Technique within ten days.
He put down another secret manual he was looking through and said to the owner of the stall, “Sorry, this manual is not suitable for me.”
The owner of the stall was an old man over sixty. He glanced at Xiao Chen and said, “Little friend, unexpectedly, you have pretty high expectations. If you really have enough Spirit Stones, I can recommend you to someone. If you go there, you will definitely be able to find the secret manual you need.”
Xiao Chen seemed interested and said, “Tell me more!”
The old man merely smiled and did not say anything.
Xiao Chen understood what he meant and he immediately took out two hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones and handed them over. “Senior, please give me a hand here!”
The old man weighed the bag with Spirit Stones and smiled in satisfaction, “After you leave this street, the third street on the left is the street that is dedicated to selling secret manuals. Go to stall 100 and take a look. The items there are very expensive, but they will definitely have what you need.”
Xiao Chen thanked the old man and took his leave.
After ten minutes, he arrived at the street that the old man had mentioned.
Indeed, it was as the old man had said. Although, the street was very small, there were very few people, and it was very clean. The stalls there were all filled with secret manuals.
Xiao Chen slowly counted in his heart. Soon, he arrived at stall 100. The person manning the stall was a fierce-looking middle-aged man over thirty.
He glanced at Xiao Chen and smiled. This was clearly a genuine smile, but it still made one’s hairs stand on their ends.
“Came to buy secret manuals?” the middle-aged man asked.
Xiao Chen nodded, “I only want Superior Grade Earth Ranked Fist Techniques and above. Ideally, they should be lighting-attributed.”
The middle-aged man did not say anything else. He rummaged around his stall and handed over four secret manuals.
Xiao Chen received them and flipped through them. The first secret manual did not have any attribute requirements. It contained a total of ten moves and was very tyrannical. Each move was more vicious than the last.
