Chapter 413 Reencounter with Tang San, and a Playful Encounter
"Wait a moment."
Seeing that Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing were about to walk away, Tang San finally couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly called out to stop them.
"Hmm? Is something the matter?"
Ye Qifeng lowered his eyes to look at Tang San, who was blocking his way, and asked in a faint smile.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside him, frowned slightly, staring coldly at Tang San, unwilling to speak.
Feeling uncomfortable under Ye Qifeng's condescending gaze and Zhu Zhuqing's icy stare, Tang San had no choice but to suppress his discomfort and swallow his anger for the sake of Ban Jing's gold. He then voiced his thoughts:
"Brother Ye, could you sell me this crystal you have?"
Ye Qifeng glanced at him:
"You want this crystal?"
Tang San suppressed his excitement and quickly nodded:
"Yes."
"Sure, 10,000 gold soul coins."
"."
Tang San's lips twitched, a hint of anger rising in his heart, but he didn't show it, calmly saying:
"Brother Ye, you're joking. Didn't you just say it was useless? How could it possibly be worth ten thousand gold soul coins?"
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and said:
"Although I think it's not very useful, it is indeed worth 10,000 gold soul coins. Well, that's what the shop owner said. You can go and ask him if you don't believe me."
Tang San's expression changed slightly, but upon closer reflection, considering the quality of the gold-bearing crystal contained within that piece of crystal, it would be absolutely worth it, not to mention 10,000 gold soul coins, even 20,000 gold soul coins.
The problem is, where is he going to find 10,000 gold soul coins to trade with the other party?
Thinking of this, Tang San felt a wave of embarrassment.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he tentatively asked:
"Brother Ye, how about this: you give me this crystal, and I'll give up the two hidden weapons from before."
"Aren't those two hidden weapons worth 10,000 gold soul coins? That can offset the price of this crystal, how about it?"
Ye Qifeng looked at Tang San as if he were an idiot:
"Tang San, don't get it wrong. Those two hidden weapons are my spoils of war. They belong to me now, not you."
"Besides, the reason those two hidden weapons are worth ten thousand gold soul coins is because they're in my possession. I remember you said their actual cost was no more than twenty gold soul coins, right?"
"And another thing, you're trying to trade my things for this crystal I have? Are you kidding me? Have you no shame? Or are you trying to get something for nothing, without working for it?"
After being ridiculed by Ye Qifeng, Tang San was speechless, feeling extremely angry but daring not to retaliate.
The Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow were originally his, but now they have been snatched away and taken by the other party. He can only swallow his anger and dare not speak out.
What a disgrace, an utter disgrace! It's truly despicable and hateful!
At this moment, Tang San realized that he had been tricked by Ye Qifeng. His face visibly darkened, and his resentment towards Ye Qifeng intensified, as if he was about to lose control and explode.
His right hand, which had been hidden behind his back, silently reached for the jade piece on his belt, as if he was about to pull something out at any moment.
Just then, Xiao Wu, the mischievous rabbit hiding behind Tang San, suddenly tugged at his sleeve and whispered:
"What do you need that piece of junk crystal for, mistress?"
"That crystal had no luster, poor transparency, and no color. I'm afraid you couldn't find anything worse than it among all the crystals."
"If you want to buy crystals, we can go inside and buy them. You know, amethyst is the most precious; theirs is worthless."
"Let's not mess with them, we can't beat them."
The mischievous rabbit Xiao Wu was still somewhat self-aware, knowing that neither she nor Tang San were a match for the other.
Moreover, ever since being beaten up by Ye Qifeng and witnessing Ye Qifeng dealing with Dai Mubai, the rogue rabbit has developed a psychological trauma. He is a little scared whenever he sees Ye Qifeng and feels apprehensive.
Therefore, she did not want to have a conflict with Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing.
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San's gloomy expression froze, and he quickly regained his composure, finally removing his fingers from the jade piece on his belt.
However, his right hand remained hidden behind his back, and the Xuan Yu Hand was kept running within his body, keeping his right hand a pure white jade color so that he could take out the hidden weapon from "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon" at any time.
After teasing Tang San for a bit, Ye Qifeng decided to ignore him. He glanced at Tang San's right hand with a smile and then looked away. He then left with Zhu Zhuqing.
Watching Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing's figures gradually disappear into the distance.
Tang San stood rooted to the spot, his face grim, a strong killing intent emanating from his dark, deep eyes, as if to say—
You have already chosen the path to your deaths!
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, the rogue rabbit behind Tang San, raised her hand and patted her small chest, letting out a long breath to ease her lingering fear.
…………
Inside the shop.
"Ouch, my back!"
After Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing left, Flander, supporting his back, struggled to get up from the ground.
The pressure of that Title Douluo's soul power was truly terrifying; that one suppression almost slammed him directly onto the floor.
Even though he was a Soul Saint with a Soul Power of Level 78, he was still completely disoriented from the fall. His internal organs were shaken, and his whole body was burning with pain. He had suffered internal injuries and would probably need to spend some money to get proper treatment.
Flander endured the excruciating pain, grimacing as he got up. He glanced at the broken wooden recliner, his face filled with bitterness and heartache. Suddenly remembering the golden soul coin left behind by Ye Qifeng, he quickly lay down again to search for it.
Soon, the gold soul coin was pulled out from the pile of wood scattered on the wooden recliner.
Even though there's only one gold soul coin, we can't waste it.
Flander's eyes gleamed with the lure of money. He carefully wiped the dust off the gold soul coin and tucked it into his pocket with great care.
"Sir, what's going on here?"
Just then, Tang San and Xiao Wu, having composed themselves, entered the shop, just in time to see Flander's rising buttocks.
The one who asked the question was Tang San.
"Oh, it's nothing, just getting some exercise, haha."
Upon discovering that another guest had arrived, the thick-skinned Flander nonchalantly got up, dusted himself off, and casually made up an excuse.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other, glancing at the wooden frame scattered on the ground. It was vaguely clear that it had originally been a recliner, and the two guessed that something must have just happened here.
But they didn't say anything more.
Tang San looked at Flander and asked with a hint of urgency:
"Sir, do you sell crystals here?"
It's impossible to get the piece of crystal gold that Ye Qifeng has. Hopefully, we can see if we can find another piece of crystal gold in the shop.
Tang San's heart was filled with hope.
"Another one wanting to buy crystals?" Flander muttered, casually pointing to the three walls behind him covered with goods.
"They're all hanging on the wall, see for yourselves."
After saying that, he swept the scattered wooden shelves aside, took out a wooden recliner from somewhere, and lay down on it.
It seemed to aggravate the injuries inside his body, and he immediately grimaced again.
Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately abandoned Xiao Wu, ran to the wall, picked up each crystal and examined it carefully, especially those containing impurities.
The mischievous rabbit Xiao Wu pouted, somewhat puzzled as to why Tang San was so interested in those crystals containing impurities. Clearly, those pure, transparent, brightly colored crystals were far more valuable, weren't they?
Tang San was unaware of Xiao Wu's thoughts; he hadn't yet told her about the golden plate.
He buried himself in the few remaining murky crystals and continued examining them.
Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, because the only crystal in the shop containing crystalline gold had already been taken away by Ye Qifeng.
The gold-plated crystal itself is extremely rare, something that can only be encountered by chance. Finding one in Flanders' little shop is already a one in a million chance.
How could there possibly be another piece waiting for him to snag?
Even if it existed, with Ye Qifeng's keen eye, he would have taken it away long ago. Why would he leave it behind to benefit him?
Of course, Tang San was unaware at this time that Ye Qifeng was specifically targeting him.
After carefully inspecting all the crystals in the shop, Tang San was disappointed, as expected, he couldn't find a single crystal containing plate-shaped gold.
Forget about the crystal turning gold, I didn't even see a trace of it.
However, Tang San ultimately chose a pure amethyst. He had no choice but to reluctantly spend a sum of money to buy it, as it was Xiao Wu's strong request.
As was destined.
Flander initially tried to haggle with Tang San and Xiao Wu about the price of amethyst, intending to rip them off.
But after seeing the "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon" pendant on Tang San's waist, she abandoned the idea and gave the amethyst directly to them.
…………
"Brother Ye, this crystal you bought must have something special about it, right?"
After following Ye Qifeng away, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the crystal the size of a human head in his hand and suddenly asked a question, her clear and melodious voice carrying a hint of doubt.
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she had been distracted by Tang San and Xiao Wu. Now she finally had the chance to ask it.
She knew that Brother Ye wouldn't have bought this crystal for no reason; it must have something special about it that she couldn't see.
Speaking of which, it seems that Tang San also noticed its unusual nature, otherwise he wouldn't have directly asked Brother Ye for it.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's question, Ye Qifeng turned his head and glanced at her:
"Oh? Zhuqing, you noticed?"
Zhu Zhuqing slowly shook her head and said truthfully:
"No, I don't see anything special about it."
"But I think that Brother Ye buying it means it's not an ordinary item; it must have some use."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly to her and explained softly:
"Yes, you're right. This crystal is indeed somewhat different because it contains a plate of gold-plated crystal."
"Gold-plated aluminum alloy? What's that?"
Zhu Zhuqing was surprised. Her mind raced for a moment, but she realized that she had never even heard of this word before.
"So-called crystalline quartz is..."
Ye Qifeng was not surprised by Zhu Zhuqing's confusion. He smiled slightly and explained the concept of quartz crystal to her in detail.
I also explained to her how it was formed and what it was used to make dragon whisker needles.
"So this piece of crystalline rutilated quartz is the raw material for making the hidden weapon, the Dragon Whisker Needle?"
After listening to Ye Qifeng's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood what was special about this murky crystal.
At the same time, I finally understand why Tang San was so eager to get this crystal.
Because that ugly thing is the one who uses hidden weapons.
"good."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, then stopped in his tracks:
"Zhuqing, look."
He raised his hand and held the crystal in front of Zhu Zhuqing. Then, his pitch-black soul power surged into his hand, and he clenched his fist tightly.
Chirp-crack—
A sound like crystal shattering suddenly rang out.
Zhu Zhuqing was astonished to see a strange scene unfold.
With a crisp shattering sound, the crystal broke and turned into dust in the blink of an eye. Then, countless golden light spots shot out from the crystal.
Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously activated her soul power, forming a thin layer of soul power in front of her to protect herself.
However, to her surprise, the golden light spots that shot out did not touch her. They didn't even travel far before being controlled in mid-air by an invisible force, remaining motionless.
Golden dots, or rather, golden particles, surrounded the original crystal's center, forming a dense ring that made it look like a golden sphere with a diameter of over twenty centimeters.
The dazzling golden light was mesmerizing and gave people a sense of being mesmerized.
With a casual gesture, Ye Qifeng caused the golden light spots that had formed a sphere to instantly retract and gather into a loose sphere about the size of two fists, which floated above his palm.
With his other hand, he flicked his finger, and a tiny golden particle flew out of the sphere and landed in his palm.
"This is gold."
As Ye Qifeng spoke, he handed it to Zhu Zhuqing:
"As long as soul power is injected, it will immediately extend and transform into slender, sharp dragon whisker needles."
Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at it.
Sure enough, the rice-grain-sized golden particle, under Ye Qifeng's soul power, transformed in the blink of an eye into a golden thread about three inches long and as thin as a hair.
The gold threads are even several times finer than hair, almost invisible to the naked eye.
If it weren't for its golden color, Zhu Zhuqing would have almost never noticed its existence.
"There are tens of thousands of these golden particles, which means there are tens of thousands of dragon whisker needles inside."
"Zhuqing, take some too."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng flicked his finger again, using his mental power to pull out a handful of golden particles from the loose spheres about the size of two fists, and placed them directly into Zhu Zhuqing's hand:
"The Dragon Whisker Needle is extremely small. As long as it is not shot in a vital spot, it will not cause fatal damage, but it will bring extreme pain. It is a good hidden weapon for dealing with enemies."
"However, it is rather insidious and malicious, so it is best not to use it lightly unless absolutely necessary."
"Of course, if you're sure the other party is an enemy, or if they threaten your life, then don't worry about being cruel or not, just take it out and use it on them."
