Chapter 21:Yellow Rock (1/2)
Alex had a similar feeling to the one he had when finding the [Spirit Cleansing Lily]. However, this feeling was somehow completely different in both type and origin.
For starters, the feeling he had for the [Spirit Cleansing Lily] originated from somewhere in his mind. Something in his mind had slightly nudged him into thinking that was a good item.
However, this time, the feeling originated from his body. His entire body was reacting as a hungry lion that had just seen an injured deer. His body was ready to pounce on it.
He went towards the vendor to look at what the item really was. The vendor was an outer sect disciple and there were several items that she was selling.
Out of all of them, the one that Alex was interested in was a small, smooth but jagged piece of yellow rock.
”Hello sister, can you tell me what this yellow rock is?” he asked the vendor.
The girl looked at Alex and said, ”I don't really know what it is. It was constantly warm so I thought it must've been something good, and chose to sell it. Why? You want it?” she looked at Alex expectantly.
”Yes, I do sister. How much do you want for this?” he asked.
”100 points. No bargaining,” she said without hesitation.
'I don't have 100 points though' Alex was confused as to what to do.
Seeing his frowned face, the outer sect disciple got more confident in her attitude and said, ” If you don't have the points, then go away. Let other people look at my stuff.”
”I only have 88 points right now sister. Is there any way to lower the price?” he asked hoping she would drop it. He was already finding it hard to stand near the stone without grabbing it immediately and shoving it in his mouth.
”No can do. If you don't have 100 points, then go away.” The girl closed her eyes after saying this and started meditating.
Alex thought for a bit and said, ”While I don't have the full 100 points, would you accept some alchemy materials, sister?” he asked
The girl opened one eye and looked curiously as she said, ”Depends”. Alex immediately rejoiced and brought out 4 different alchemy materials he found in the forest.
There were normal materials that he had come across in the forest. The girl looked at the items and was surprised.
”You are going to give me those 4 materials, and 88 points?” she asked inquisitively.
”Yes, sister,” Alex replied with zero hesitation.
