Chapter 467 Where did this silly white sweet come from?
Zhao Mu was not sure whether the Qin family's sting operation was over. Ji Xuan and the little girl came secretly again. From what Ji Qingyue said, it seemed that there were no masters of the Ji family following them in secret.
In this case, it is impossible for them to reveal their identities and recognize each other in public.
Because that is extremely stupid.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Seeing Ji Qingyue's sudden gaze sweeping over him, Zhao Mu trembled slightly.
"Am I mean?"
"How is that possible? Don't listen to that little brat Ji Xuan's nonsense."
Zhao Mu denied it with a faint smile. He didn't say anything against his will. After all, no matter whether Ji Qingyue was a female Tyrannosaurus or not, she had never shown her tyrannical side to him.
What? You mean last night and early morning?
Are you crazy? You were seen naked twice in a row, and you even almost went a step further and saw it a third time. If it were you, how could you not be angry?
"Let's go."
After receiving this answer, Ji Qingyue seemed to feel better.
The two ignored Ji Xuan and the little girl and went straight to the fish market at the pier.
The Heishui River Basin is very rich in fishery resources. Of course, ordinary catches naturally cannot attract Zhao Mu and Ji Qingyue. They are not visiting the stalls set up by ordinary fishermen, but by monks.
Hunting monsters can not only temper oneself but also harvest materials, so many cultivators choose this method of training.
Of course, there are also monks who make a living from this.
Due to the limitation of their talents, not all monks spend their entire lives climbing to higher heights. Most monks, when they reach a bottleneck and have no hope of breaking through, will choose to start a family and place their hopes on the next generation.
The idea of wanting one's son to become a dragon and one's daughter to become a phoenix is applicable to almost any world.
The Chixia Sect that controls Chixia Island is only a second-rate force. If the cultivation level is too high, it will easily attract excessive attention from others. If the cultivation level is too low, it will be ignored and despised, causing unnecessary trouble. The Kongming Realm is just right.
Walking in the fish market, the monks setting up stalls would not look down on them, but they would not take them seriously either.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay and take a look at my dragon-scale carp."
When Zhao Mu and Ji Qingyue passed by a stall, the stall owner stood up with a big smile on his face and called them over. He pointed to a huge green and gold carp in a basin and said, "This is a fifth-level dragon-scale carp that I caught from the vortex area three hours ago. The meat is fresh and juicy. It tastes good no matter how you cook it..."
The Vortex Area is a natural whirlpool east of Chixia Island. It is said that a real dragon once fell here, and the dragon's blood was spilled, allowing the monsters here to gain benefits of varying degrees.
Although dragon-scale carp are distributed in many places in the Black Water River Basin, it is said that eating dragon-scale carp produced in the vortex basin has a certain probability of comprehending the power of a true dragon.
Therefore, the price of dragon scale carp produced in the vortex area is several times or even dozens of times higher than that in other places.
No one knows whether the legend is true or not, but the dragon scale carp in the vortex area is indeed more delicious than those in other places. This has been certified by many gourmets, and Zhao Mu has also heard of this.
The stall owner was still selling his products. Although Zhao Mu stopped, he did not reply. Instead, he looked at Ji Qingyue.
Today she is the one who makes the decision.
"Fake, let's go."
Ji Qingyue only took a glance and then looked away, without saying a word, and immediately raised her foot and continued walking forward.
"Fellow Daoist, your words are not pleasant to hear. Even if the deal fails, the friendship remains. What do you mean by slandering me as a fake?"
"When I caught this dragon-scale carp, several of my fellow practitioners witnessed it."
The stall owner immediately became unhappy and kept chattering to prove himself.
Zhao Mu didn't understand much, as it was his first time in the Black Water River Basin, but he believed Ji Qingyue's words. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Ji family and had been living in the Black Water River Basin since she was a child.
"Haha~"
Ji Qingyue chuckled and didn't even bother to refute.
Zhao Mu followed and asked, "What's the difference between the dragon scale carp from the vortex area and those from other places?"
"Because of the special environment of the Whirlpool, survival and continuation of the species requires greater strength. To be more specific, the fish monsters in the Whirlpool, whether it's their tail fins, side fins, or dorsal fins, are all stronger. Although that one is different from ordinary dragon-scale carp, it's still far inferior to those produced in the Whirlpool. It's clearly a scam."
"It seems that this fish market is quite chaotic."
After hearing Ji Qingyue's words, Zhao Mu chuckled. Life is full of deception, and things like cheating exist in any world.
However, just as the two of them walked away, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind them.
The stall owners used almost the same sales pitch.
The difference is that Zhao Mu and his friends didn't believe it, but now this couple of guests believe it and even want to pay for it.
"A fifth-level dragon-scale carp from the Whirlpool Region is quite rare. How much is it?"
"The price is one thousand high-grade spirit stones."
"So expensive? Isn't it just a fifth-level monster? You can buy a sixth-level monster for this price."
The little girl exclaimed, thinking it was ridiculously expensive.
"This is a dragon-scale carp from the vortex region. How could its value be the same as that of an ordinary fifth-tier demon beast? Go to the Magpie Crane Tower and ask how much a dish made from a fifth-tier dragon-scale carp from the vortex region costs? That would cost hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
A fifth-tier dragon-scale carp can be used to make at least thirty dishes, so I only charge you one thousand high-grade spirit stones. You're really getting a great deal."
The stall owner looked like he was giving you a great deal.
In fact, he did not lie. The price of Quehelou was indeed that high, but the fish they sold were genuine dragon-scale carp from the Whelsey Region, and they also added a lot of other expensive ingredients to cook them, so they could be sold at that price.
But this one is fake. At most it is only worth a dozen high-grade spirit stones.
"Okay, one thousand is one thousand."
Ji Xuan was a little tempted, but when he was about to pay, Zhao Mu's voice rang out beside the stall.
"How can I let you suffer a loss? The purchase price of live fish in Quehe Tower is 1,200 high-grade spirit stones. You are really losing out by only selling it for 1,000."
"It's okay if I lose a little, just consider it as making friends with you two fellow Taoists."
Although the stall owner had a smile on his face, his brows were already twitching. He wondered if these two guys were here to ruin his business.
"The purchase price is 1200, but we can get it for only 1000. It's a great bargain. Let's buy it, let's buy it."
The little girl excitedly pushed Ji Xuan and asked him to pay quickly.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He seemed to understand why the little girl called Ji Qingyue the female Tyrannosaurus.
The stall owner was so happy that he had to make a deal quickly to prevent Zhao Mu and Ji Qingyue from sabotaging the deal. To this end, he even gave away a third-level lamprey, which was also produced in the Vortex Area.
However, Ji Xuan obviously reacted and said to the little girl, "Forget it. Picking up a bargain is one thing, but we don't know how to do it. We might as well go directly to the restaurant. Didn't the stall owner just say that Heque Tower has it?"
"Then why don't we buy it and sell it to Heque Tower? We can make a net profit of 200 high-grade spirit stones."
Although this was a whisper, the distance was so close and the cultivation level was similar, so Zhao Mu couldn't hide it at all. He was confused. Where did this naive person come from? Did he forget to bring his brain when he went out?
At the same time, he noticed that Ji Qingyue's eyes had become completely gloomy, and her fists were clenched so tightly that the joints were almost creaking. It seemed that she was about to take action.
