Chapter 185 Money Makes You Willful
This person is like a rogue, completely unreasonable.
Tao Tao was too lazy to argue with him, so he turned to the woman selling the goods and asked, "Sister, what do you think we should do?"
"This..." The woman was in a dilemma. How did this happen to her instead?
Others also gathered around to watch, eager to see who would get the Fiery Rabbit.
"Little girl, you're not even fully grown yet and you want to steal my things? Let me tell you, I'm determined to have the Flame Rabbit. If you insist on taking it from me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing that Tao Tao refused to do the deed, the man actually threatened him directly. Judging from his appearance, even if he was not a disciple of a major cultivation sect, he should at least be the young master of some family to dare to be so arrogant.
"You're not going to give up on me, are you..." The Fiery Rabbit was getting anxious. It had only been a long time since Tao Tao had agreed to it, but then a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere. Tao Tao couldn't even part with 10,000 spirit stones, so how could it possibly raise the price any further?
Besides, Tao Tao didn't want to reveal her considerable wealth so quickly, as it would be very troublesome if some people had their eyes on her.
"You only told me to save you, but you didn't say how to save me."
Tao Tao casually remarked, "It seems you've already come up with another plan."
Knowing what she meant, the Fiery Rabbit kicked its legs anxiously, "No way! If he buys me, he'll definitely mark me with a soul imprint and force me to sign a soul contract with him. If I can't erase it, I'll have to be his spirit beast for the rest of my life!"
"Then there's nothing we can do. You'll have to bear with it for now." Tao Tao was very rational and wouldn't be foolish enough to expose herself. Ten thousand spirit stones was already a difficult amount for people of their cultivation level. If she added another ten thousand, people might start watching her closely.
"No, please listen to me first. We can talk this over..."
No matter how much the Fiery Rabbit shouted, Tao Tao pretended not to hear it. He put away the spirit stones with a blank expression and turned to leave without saying a word.
The man was satisfied with Tao Tao's actions. He sneered, picked up his large knife, glanced at the woman selling the rabbit, and said, "This rabbit is mine now."
"It's yours now." After counting the spirit stones, the woman nodded slightly, handed the cage containing the Fiery Rabbit to the man with both hands, and also gave him a key. Only then did the man leave arrogantly with the cage in his arms.
They thought they were going to see a big battle, but Tao Tao actually became a coward, and the others found it boring and dispersed.
After leaving, Tao Tao told Si Xiaoxiao, "Follow him and keep a close eye on his every move."
"Yes." Si Xiaoxiao yawned, looking unwilling, but she had no choice but to obey. She transformed into a beam of light and shot out of the spirit beast bag, disappearing into the crowd.
Tao Tao continued to wander around, carefully searching for any treasures that might be useful to him.
There were so many things on this floor, it was dazzling. Unfortunately, although there were many things, very few were useful. After searching for a long time, she only managed to collect a prescription. This pill was called the Dustless Pill, which could be used to consolidate one's foundation and improve one's cultivation. It was very useful for her, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Although she had the pill formula, Tao Tao was still not very good at refining medicine. In the past, Bai Yan would just refine some for her on a whim, but now that Bai Yan was asleep, she could only put the pills aside for the time being.
As for the other items, they will be auctioned off; that's the main attraction and her real purpose this time.
The auction was still a while away, so Tao Tao decided to wander around and join in the fun.
At this moment, A-Wu suddenly transmitted his voice and asked, "I have a magical treasure that nourishes the soul. Do you want it?"
Nourishing the soul? Tao Tao was slightly surprised and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll be right there."
Although she wasn't sure it would work 100%, she wouldn't give up as long as there was even a glimmer of hope.
Tao Tao hurriedly headed to where A Wu was. As soon as she took a step, she suddenly felt a heavy sense of oppression sweep over her, making her extremely reluctant to leave. This power was familiar; she seemed to have felt it somewhere before.
Who is it?
As far as I can remember, she shouldn't have offended anyone, after all, she hasn't been in Gu Ning City for very long.
As she wondered what was happening, a man dressed in a blue robe walked towards her. His steps were slow, his expression indifferent, and he seemed completely unconcerned about Tao Tao, which made Tao Tao shudder.
It's him!
Last time, it was because this person suddenly attacked her that she was rescued by Pei Qingyan and then threatened by him.
She did not fare well in her fight with this person, whose cultivation and strength were both superior to hers. If Pei Qingyan had not intervened, she would not have been killed, but at least seriously injured.
With so many people here, he wouldn't dare to make a move in front of everyone, would he? Tao Tao thought to herself, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm and walked over as if she didn't know him at all.
As Tao Tao passed by Fang Ge, he tried his best to remain calm and dared not reveal any flaws, for fear that others would notice something amiss.
However, Fang Ge didn't seem to intend to do anything to her, not even glancing at her. Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, just when she thought she was safe, Fang Ge suddenly transmitted his voice: "What a coincidence, to run into you here. Little girl, Qianfeng Liuyunma will be mine sooner or later. Although you have a senior expert protecting you, I don't believe he can protect you forever."
Tao Tao pretended not to hear, twitched her lips, and quickly brushed past him into the crowd.
"What's wrong with you?" When A-Wu saw Tao Tao rushing over, looking flustered and breathing unsteadily, he couldn't help but wonder if she had gotten into a fight with someone over a treasure.
"It's nothing, just ran into an acquaintance. Where's that magic weapon you mentioned?" Tao Tao shook her head, not wanting to say more. Anyway, she was safe for now. As for the future, although she couldn't defeat Fang Ge, escaping wouldn't be a problem for her.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, A-Wu didn't ask any further questions, and pointed to the counter in front of her, saying, "Over there."
Tao Tao looked over, thinking that many people would want to buy such a magical item, but to his surprise, the counter was empty, and not a single person came up to ask for advice.
That shouldn't be the case. A magical treasure that can nourish the soul is a rare find no matter where it is. Everyone should try to get their hands on it. Why is no one interested?
Puzzled, Tao Tao walked over and glanced at the description of the magic weapon. He immediately understood that the conditions for using this magic weapon were extremely demanding. Not only did it require a cultivation level of at least late Foundation Establishment, but it also required a matching lightning-type technique to activate it. This lightning-type technique was called "Lightning Control Technique," a high-level cultivation method that very few people could comprehend.
Moreover, those with lightning-type spiritual roots are extremely rare, and given the stringent other conditions, generally no one would choose to purchase this magic weapon.
"I want this magic weapon." Tao Tao suddenly spoke up, which greatly surprised the woman selling it. She reminded her, "I see that you have a water-type heavenly spiritual root, so you probably can't learn lightning-type techniques. This magic weapon will be difficult to activate."
"Thank you for your concern, but this is very important to me, and I'm determined to get it."
Tao Tao was very determined and didn't care about the lightning-type cultivation technique at all, which made the woman very curious. Although she had heard that some people with heavenly spiritual roots could cultivate other attributes, it was extremely difficult and very few people succeeded.
Actually, that's not the case. Tao Tao had already mastered lightning-type techniques, and her Ice Lightning Sword was worth more than most of the world's treasures. It wouldn't be difficult for her to activate such a small lightning-type magic weapon. The difficulty lay in the fact that the "Lightning Control Technique" seemed to be hard to learn, and with Bai Yan asleep, there was no way to guide her.
"Alright, since you've said so, please make yourself at home." The woman smiled slightly, waved her hand, and the lightning-type magic weapon was placed into an exquisite box and floated to the counter. "This magic weapon is called the Moon-Supporting Drum. It is a high-level lightning-type magic weapon and needs to be used in conjunction with the 'Thunder Control Technique.' I wonder if you would like to purchase the 'Thunder Control Technique'?"
These two items are sold together; otherwise, receiving only the Moon-Supporting Drum is practically the same as receiving nothing.
Tao Tao nodded, "Of course."
Since that's why she came, she certainly wouldn't just buy the Moon-Supporting Drum.
The two treasures cost Tao Tao a total of 15,000 spirit stones. Of course, when he took out so many spirit stones so casually, it made the people around him sigh.
Even those with their cultivation level might not be able to command such a high price. Most people were hesitant on the sixth floor simply because they wanted to leave some spirit stones for the upcoming auction.
Tao Tao just took out so many spirit stones without even blinking, so he must have a powerful background. At least, no independent cultivator could possibly have this ability.
"Let's go." Tao Tao didn't care what the people around her thought. After putting away the two treasures, she spoke to A Wu and prepared to leave.
Just then, a hunched old man ran towards her, his face full of wrinkles as he smiled, and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Does this fellow Daoist need a guide?"
