Chapter 110: The Black Shop

If she paired with Ye Shiyuan, they could be considered a perfect match.

Talented man and beautiful woman, it was a union made in heaven.

It was clear that Senior Brother also strongly approved of this matter.

For Qixiu Valley to break its rules and allow Su Yuluan to stay here temporarily naturally implied as much.

Originally, this should have been a great and joyous matter, but unexpectedly...

Ye Shiyuan was unwilling.

Although Gu He had cultivated for many years, he still had to admit that in terms of appearance, Su Yuluan was a rare beauty in the world.

Ye Shiyuan’s rejection was truly beyond expectation.

According to Su Yuluan’s own thinking, she believed that Bai He must have been interfering behind the scenes.

As for whether it was truly Bai He’s doing, even Gu He did not know.

In any case, he currently had no way to deal with Bai He at all.

"Fourth Elder, I also want to go to Nianbadu Ancient Town. I’ll head off first."

After saying that, Su Yuluan followed in the direction Bai He and Ye Shiyuan had just left.

Gu He was immediately speechless.

These people...

Forget it, these were all young people.

At his age, he could no longer keep up with the way they thought.

Bai He’s flying speed was not very fast.

"Master, what are we going to Nianbadu Ancient Town for? I’ve heard of that place it’s really interesting, but everything there is so expensive. Master, I..."

"Enough. Can you stop talking? Why are you so talkative?"

Outside Nianbadu Ancient Town, it was not currently a time for free entry.

Bai He stepped forward and took out his token.

The old man guarding the entrance accepted the token and looked at Bai He with curiosity as if verifying both him and the token.

After confirming that the token was genuine, he allowed them to enter.

Bai He said nothing, but he roughly understood what the man was thinking, he probably felt that Bai He’s appearance did not resemble that of an elder from Lingguang Sect at all.

Unfortunately for him, Bai He truly was one.

So this was Nianbadu Ancient Town.

Xu Feng was like a curious child who is fascinated by everything he saw.

Bai He suddenly took notice of a shop and stopped.

It was a store that specialized in selling spirit beast eggs and there was not a single customer inside.

Who knew whether there might be something good here.

Bai He rolled up his sleeves and called out to Xu Feng who had wandered ahead out of curiosity, "Xiao Feng, where are you going? Come back here."

Xu Feng was a little reluctant, but he still returned quickly.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

"Don’t run around. And don’t touch other people’s things carelessly. If you break something, I won’t be able to afford the compensation."

Bai He was truly poor.

Although he had quite a bit of money, there were some things here that simply could not be settled with money.

Even though he had many magical tool, those were entrusted to him by his master.

He couldn’t just casually use them to compensate others.

That would be far too embarrassing.

A dazzling array of spirit beast eggs was neatly displayed.

"This three young masters, may I ask what kind of spirit beast egg you are looking for? I can recommend a few."

Bai He glanced over them and nodded slightly. "No need. I’ll take a look myself."

"Very well, young master."

Bai He then took out a crystal bead.

Because the customers entered the shop, the shopkeeper went off to attend to them.

Xu Feng asked curiously, "Master, what is that in your hand? Why have I never seen it before?"

"This thing... well..."

Bai He deliberately kept him in suspense, then placed the bead in his palm.

As he scanned across the first row, the bead in his hand showed no reaction at all.

Bai He frowned unwilling to give up and tested the second row.

Only one egg caused the bead to react.

He raised his head in great surprise and glanced at Ye Shiyuan. "Shiyuan, there’s something wrong with these spirit beast eggs."

"Master, the object in your hand... Is it the bead from Lingguang Sect that is specifically used to test the vitality of spirit beast eggs?"

Bai He nodded. "Yes. This bead, under normal circumstances, should not have any issues."

But among so many eggs, only one showed no problem.

That seemed rather illogical.

Wasn’t this shop owner being far too bold?

In truth, this was possible.

Nurturing spirit beast eggs was never an easy task.

Some required several years and even in the worst case at least a few months were still needed.

If someone bought a spirit beast egg here and took it back, even if the egg turned out to be useless, they likely would not come back to this place.

And even if someone did return, after such a long period, the shop owner could easily deny responsibility.

In an instant, Bai He realized, he had been walked into a black shop.

This was far too shady.

It was practically treating customers as if they were nothing.

"Master, what’s wrong with you?"

What was wrong with Bai He?

He was angry.

Still, he endured it for the moment.

After the customers who had just entered left, the shop owner returned.

"Young Master, have you decided what you would like?"

Bai He spread open his palm. "Boss, you can’t possibly not recognize this, can you?"

The shop owner’s expression changed instantly. "Young Master, I was blind and failed to recognize that you are from Lingguang Sect."

"What do you mean ’from Lingguang Sect’? No matter who the customer is or where they come from, you shouldn’t deceive people. These spirit beast eggs of yours how long have they been sitting here? They’ve long since lost all signs of life. When others buy them and try to nurture them for months, yet there’s not the slightest response. Don’t you feel even a bit guilty?"
