Chapter 23: The Most Abnormal Type of Person
"Three second-order primary array diagrams, one hundred second-order primary demon beast Xuanjing. From now on, you can also receive more than ten first-order demon beast Xuanjing every month in this Tian Nan Fang."
The old man Wang Wu stared at the beast's blood-red eyes with a fervent gaze, and after a moment of silence, he solemnly said to Qin Hao:
"There are three kinds of martial arts at the peak of Pingjie, and two kinds of body techniques. And I can share with you my insights on some of the Xuanxuan formations." Wang Wu said solemnly.
"Really?"
Qin Hao looked at the two people with a solemn expression, their eyes sparkling with anger, and suddenly his whole body was covered in goosebumps.
It is said that Zhen Shi is the most terrifying profession on Tian Huan Continent, and also the most perverted profession.
They say he's terrifying, and the reason is simple: someone who can casually hold hundreds of mysterious arrays in his hand, when he erupts, no one knows what it will be like. With the precedent of the greatest tragic hero in history, Tian Xuan Wu Zhe, anyone would have to show respect to such a person.
As for being abnormal, that's indeed true.
Array Master, who spends all day dealing with the mysterious beast Xuanjing, devotes himself to various array materials and mysterious array diagrams, putting all his thoughts on these things, it's hard to avoid producing some eccentric and peculiar personalities.
In such a group, there are inevitably some eccentric figures. With a violent temper and unpredictable emotions, they can be laughing with you one moment and suddenly jump up to slap you twice, or even physically assault you - that's the lighter side of things. What's more frightening is when some researchers of the Sealing Mystical Array become deranged and develop intermittent brain seizures.
It is said that there was a second-order array master, who studied a strange array diagram for two years but made no progress. In the end, he couldn't think of anything else to do and tied hundreds of Xuanyuan arrays to his body, directly detonating them...
Although Qin Hao only knew how to refine a simple and shallow one-stage Fengxuan array, his understanding of the industry was enough to make him wary of these peers.
Qin Hao looked at the two old men, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was off. Frowning, he asked tentatively: "Are all of these gifts for me? Is my refined Xuanxuan formation so precious?"
While speaking, his eyes secretly glanced at the hands, sleeves and pockets of the two old men, deeply afraid that they would suddenly think of something.
"It's true that it was meant for you, but giving you all these things would be a huge loss for us." Wang Wu secretly gave Wang Hun a meaningful look.
Wang Hunsin's heart was leading the divine assembly, and he said with some difficulty: "It's just that these things are not cheap. The top-notch martial skills of the flat stage, even the three major families in this city don't have such precious things, how can they be given away so easily? Why don't you stay in this Tiān Nán Fang and help us refine some simple Fēng Xuán arrays, and incidentally help us with our troubles? If it weren't for the fact that many people have come to seek the Fēng Xuán array recently, you wouldn't have had this opportunity."
With that said, Wang Hún picked up a cup of fragrant tea and pretended to be calm as he took a light sip, but his heart was racing with anxiety.
He was clear that the price he and Wang Wu had offered today was already their best effort. They were indeed array masters, but after all, they were only second-grade primary array masters, and there was a huge difference between them and those high-level array masters.
But even if they were just low-level array masters, they understood that someone who didn't have a deep understanding of the Sealing Mysteries Array, looked like he hadn't been practicing for long, and couldn't even use the Meteorite Stab, could refine an array with a quality several points higher than theirs when they went all out, what did it mean.
That represents, a temporary substitute, may very likely grow into a second-class master or even a third-class beginner master. Such a person may not be worth the value of a large family.
"Join Tiān Nán Fāng?" Qin Hao heard this and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, those two old men didn't show any signs of going crazy, which made him feel more at ease. However, the fact that these two old men kept coming back to ask him to join still left Qin Hao feeling somewhat helpless.
"I appreciate your kind intentions." Qin Hao smiled and said, "I'm not fond of being tied down. Tian Nan Fang is nice, but it's not really suitable for me."
"Joining Tiān Nán Fāng won't have too many restrictions on you." Wáng Wǔ said with a lingering attachment.
"Now I just want to find what I'm looking for. Let's get back on track, shall we?" Qin Hao said with an unchanged expression: "As far as I know, a first-class Sealing Array can be exchanged for about six Crystal Cores. These more than 50 Sealing Arrays of mine are not bad in quality, and exchanging them for 300 first-class Demon Beast Crystal Cores, plus 50 Emerald Heart Fruits, shouldn't be excessive, right?"
"Not bad, the fifty pieces of Sealing Mystical Array are quite decent, three hundred pieces of Mystical Crystals aren't too many, and the value of the fifty Emerald Heart Fruits isn't high either. Your request is reasonable." Wang Hun secretly sighed: "I just don't know why you want to collect so many first-grade Mystical Crystals."
"Hehe." Qin Hao smiled and said, "It's only natural to take more Xuanjing to practice with when you're interested in it."
Qin Hao's words were not entirely truthful, a first-class peak demon beast was equivalent to a human cultivator of the tenth level of the Condensing Mystery Realm. Although such a high-grade demon beast crystal was not rare, it wasn't cheap enough to be used as a practice material at will.
Qin Hao said this obviously perfunctory words, just to cope with their questions. If the two old men understood his meaning, they would not pursue this issue further.
As expected, Qin Hao saw Wang Wu's eyebrows twitching, and Wang Hun's expression also became somewhat serious, but soon the two men's expressions returned to normal.
"What are your requirements for these demon beasts' Xuan crystals?"
"Any will do, as long as it's a Water-type Mystic Crystal." Qin Hao replied calmly.
Wang Huan heard this and stood up straight, walking out of the reception room.
Only Qin Hao and Wang Wu were left in the room, facing each other in silence.
Soon, Wang Wu returned and handed Qin Hao a small, heavy animal skin bag. The animal skin pouch was blue-black in color, with a fairly smooth surface layer. Although it was slightly larger than Qin Hao's wooden box, it could still be hidden in his sleeve without drawing attention to itself.
"Three hundred pieces of Xuanjing and fifty pieces of Bixing fruit are all here. Take a look."
Qin Hao took over the animal skin bag, and he was also extremely satisfied. This old man still did things thoroughly.
He directly stuffed the animal skin bag into his bosom, adjusted his clothes, and Qin Hao stood up with a smile: "The inspection is not needed, Tian Nan Fang's credit is still trustworthy."
Qin Hao smiled and bowed his hands to the two elderly men: "Thank you both, farewell."
He turned around, let out a long laugh, and Qin Hao walked away with a calm pace, disappearing from the corridor in no time.
Wang Wu gazed at Qin Hao's back, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "When did Tianlang City produce such a person? He doesn't seem to be very old, should we have someone investigate him?"
Wang Hun stroked his beard, seemingly deep in thought, and said, "Hmmm! Although Tian Nan Fang never does anything despicable to its guests, it wouldn't be excessive to understand things a bit better."
"Two elderly gentlemen, there's no need to be like this. Since he is a guest of Tian Nan Fang and hasn't caused any trouble in Tian Nan Fang, we also don't have to bother with other matters."
A deep, magnetic male voice came in, followed by a man wearing a blue long gown, with a faint smile on his face, walking elegantly from the outside door.
That person was none other than Ji Fan from the City Master's Manor.
"Yes, Master Ji." The two elderly men replied with utmost respect after seeing the visitor's face clearly.
Ji Fan walked up to the table, picked up a seal with two fingers, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, was it that you hid too deeply or did I miss something?"
