Chapter 20: Stall Encounter With A Beauty
He casually found a hotel, opened a room, and then hid in the room to sort things.
“This one, old, new, old, new, old, useless, useless, useless!”
He poured out a pile of things from the small pot, and Ling Mo slowly sorted them, discovering that the graves he had dug big and small over these years had really yielded quite a few good things.
“This stone…”
He weighed a fist-sized stone in his hand, and Ling Mo was stunned for a moment.
A very rich star power could clearly be felt from the stone, and looking at it, it was like a starry sea, extraordinary.
“What a strange thing! This thing seems to have been dug from some ruins two years ago. At the time, it looked a bit unusual, so he took it along. He didn’t expect it to possess such powerful power…
If used to refine hidden weapons, would the effect be better?”
After thinking carefully, Ling Mo pondered! For extremely overbearing hidden weapon mechanisms like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, adding this star power might bring different changes.
After careful consideration, Ling Mo discovered from this power that it actually had an armor-breaking effect. What did that mean?
It meant that forging it into hidden weapons like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow would fully release their power, ignoring the opponent’s defense, making it a great killing weapon.
He got right to it! Over these six years, besides grave robbery and cultivation, Ling Mo had also gained a certain foundation in refining Tang Sect hidden weapons.
Moreover, he had fully adopted Tang San’s own experience. Refining a Zhuge Divine Crossbow was extremely simple.
After spending half a day, Ling Mo finally refined a top-grade Zhuge Divine Crossbow, cast from star meteorite. From its essence, it could no longer be called a Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
It should be an advanced version, the Star Crossbow, with not only doubled power in strikes but also strong armor-breaking ability.
Even a level 40 soul master, even if going all out, would find it hard to resist, unless it was a true defense-type soul master who could barely block it.
“The power has indeed increased a lot! But the materials consumed by this divine crossbow are really too expensive. The treasures dug up over these years have been almost completely spent in one go.”
Over these years, Ling Mo had traveled far and wide, digging graves and tombs, obtaining countless rare irons, all used to refine these hidden weapons.
He had more hidden weapons than Tang San, but Ling Mo wouldn’t be satisfied so easily. In the future, he still wanted to refine Tang Sect’s top hidden weapons, like Peacock Plume, Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus, and so on.
The materials consumed by these hidden weapons were even more precious.
“Short on money, short on materials! Looks like I need to find an opportunity to dig up Spirit Hall…”
He muttered, and Ling Mo had already made up his mind. In his words, those who block my path to wealth would be killed without mercy…
The remaining odd and strange items were mostly some relatively rare soul tools, without special abilities, just artifacts containing a bit of soul power.
Flander’s Shop alone had quite a few of these things, plus Ling Mo had just cleaned out his small shop, so the small trinkets in Ling Mo’s hands were increasing.
Except for a shovel in his hand that Ling Mo quite liked, none of the other things were worth collecting.
“Hehe, take them out and sell them! Supplement the household expenses…”
In Ling Mo’s terms for grave robbery, anything useful or not, once discovered, was all collected; if useful, keep it, if not, sell it!
Just like that, right after saying it, he set up a stall on the street in Suotuo City.
“Come on, don’t miss out if you pass by. These are all very rare soul tools, once in a lifetime…”
“How much for this bottle?”
“One hundred gold soul coins!”
“What? Are you robbing me? So expensive…”
“How could that be! You get what you pay for. These are all good stuff. Once you miss it, you won’t be able to buy it even if you want to…”
“Make it cheaper and I’ll buy it!”
“How much?”
“Fifty?”
“Deal…”
“Damn, I paid too much…”
In one afternoon, Ling Mo sold several hundred items, earning tens of thousands of gold soul coins, instantly becoming a big rich man.
No wonder people say the fastest way to get rich is grave robbery. It’s true; the ancients did not deceive me!
“How much for this Wind Lin Colorful Phoenix Hairpin?”
Just as Ling Mo was preparing to pack up, a very light and agile voice suddenly came, a very pure and sweet sound!
“Eh? Little loli…”
Ling Mo looked up and found that at some point, a little fairy in a skirt was standing in front of his stall.
Dressed very gorgeously, with a mysterious immortal qi. Her words and actions exuded gentleness and obedience.
The girl had a very sweet appearance, different from Zhu Zhuqing’s cold allure or Xiao Wu’s lively energy. This was a very quiet girl.
“No, something’s fishy!”
Was she really that obedient? Ling Mo didn’t believe it, because a hint of cunning was hidden under her eyes, though she concealed it well.
“This hairpin… ten thousand gold soul coins!”
Ling Mo asked for an exorbitant price, directly setting it to the highest, because he could tell this girl really liked this hairpin.
Money didn’t matter much; mainly, he had encountered a beauty. If he didn’t take the opportunity to get some advantage, it wouldn’t be Ling Mo’s style.
“What? Ten thousand gold soul coins? So expensive…”
Hearing the price, the girl hesitated. Money was just a number to her, but she didn’t have that much on her right now.
Speaking of which, everyone must know her identity by now, right? That’s right, this is the last of Shrek’s three beauties, Ning Rongrong!
“Ten thousand gold soul coins is expensive? You should know, this hairpin has a long history and has witnessed countless beautiful love stories. As long as you have it, your future will definitely have a very wonderful and anticipated love story…”
He kept bluffing! Report to the officer, someone is scamming a kid here. Is there anyone to manage it?
This thing had no love stories at all; it was all made up by Ling Mo. And this hairpin had no special history; it was just something Ling Mo casually picked up in a tomb.
“Really? Can you tell me the story of this hairpin?”
Hearing Ling Mo’s words, Ning Rongrong’s eyes suddenly lit up. Little girls are all curious babies who love hearing fantastical love stories.
Of course, this didn’t stump Ling Mo. He was well-versed in all versions of wuxia novels by Jin, Gu, and Huang, especially familiar with the love stories in them.
“So, hundreds of years ago, on South Mountain, there was an ancient tomb. Inside the ancient tomb lived a Little Dragon Girl…”
As he spoke, Ling Mo began telling Ning Rongrong the love story of Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl. Though it was a modified version, it still moved her to tears, deeply touching her.
“I really envy such a love story!” Ning Rongrong said with teary eyes, growing fonder of the hairpin.
Earlier, Ling Mo had said this hairpin was the token of love between Little Dragon Girl and Yang Guo for their sixteen-year promise, with great significance.
Therefore, Ning Rongrong really liked this hairpin, but she didn’t have quite enough money on her.
“Um… can you make it cheaper? I really want it…”
Ning Rongrong negotiated, but Ling Mo directly refused. Nonsense! If he agreed, how would he take advantage? The story would be for nothing?
“No, no! Something so meaningful, how can it be cheaper? Otherwise, your future love will be discounted!”
“But I really want it, and I don’t have quite enough money…”
Ning Rongrong grew anxious. Seeing Ling Mo reach to take back the hairpin, she hurriedly said.
The fish was hooked. Seeing this, Ling Mo revealed an evil smile.
“Ahem, if you want it, it’s not impossible! How about this, I’ll give you half off, but you have to kiss me to make up the difference…”
Someone said shamelessly.
“Huh?”
Now it was Ning Rongrong’s turn to be dumbfounded. This guy was deliberately taking advantage, right?
