Chapter 21 Qingyang Town

The morning sun shines on the streets, and Qingyang Town seems to be shrouded in a golden halo.

The trade fair is located in the North Square. On both sides of the street, vendors display a variety of goods and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another, making the scene very lively.

In this bustling crowd, a young girl walked towards them.

She was wearing an elegant dress, with her long black hair flowing like a waterfall, tied up lightly with a simple hairband. Without too much decoration, she looked more natural and pure.

The girl has a pretty face and, at such a young age, she already has an extraordinary temperament. It is hard to imagine how stunningly beautiful she will be when she grows up.

The most striking thing is her pair of lively eyes, with deep and bright black pupils. When she looks at me, it seems that she can see through people's hearts, and it is like the stars in the night sky, shining with wisdom and mystery.

"Qingyang Town is really lively!"

Mu Zi looked at the street in front of her curiously. Such a bustling scene was rarely seen in Mujiazhuang.

However, there are also advantages to having fewer people. Mujiazhuang is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no shortage of housing in the manor. For example, Mu Zi's family of three, each of them lives in a private house.

Having enough private space makes it more convenient for Mu Zi to do some private things.

"Let's go around first."

Coming to Qingyang Town for the first time, Mu Zi planned to look around and gain some knowledge.

The girl's agile figure shuttled through the market, attracting some attention. After seeing Mu Zi's appearance and temperament, those eyes flashed with surprise.

Such a beautiful girl is hard to forget once you see her, but surprisingly, they had no impression of Mu Zi before. Therefore, there is reason to believe that she is a visitor from outside Qingyang Town.

This is also normal. The trading fair in Qingyang Town is quite famous within a hundred miles. Not only do people in the town like to trade here, but even some nearby manors and some shady bandit forces often come here to sell stolen goods.

Walking among the crowd, Mu Zi heard discussions coming from all around.

"Have you heard about Tiemuzhuang?"

"Yes, the Lin family defeated the Lei family in hunting and obtained the ownership of Tiemu Manor."

"Hey! This is all outdated news. I heard that the Lei family was unwilling to accept the loss of Tiemu Village, so they sent people to destroy most of the land. I'm afraid the Lin family is not feeling well."

"No wonder I passed by Tiemu Village before and found that the situation there was tense. The Lei family is really cruel. They even do such a thing that hurts others and does not benefit themselves."

"This is normal. You also know that the Lei family and the Lin family don't get along. Lin Dong even made them lose face during a hunt before. How could the Lei family be willing to hand over Tiemu Manor intact to the Lin family?"

"Alas! These guys from the big families are so evil! I'm afraid the Lin family will be happy for nothing this time."

"Who says it's not?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Mu Zi felt a little strange.

With her memories of her past life, she knew that the Lin family made a lot of money this time. Although Tiemu was destroyed by the Lei family, Lin Dong discovered a Yangyuan stone vein in the back mountain of Tiemu Village.

The value of this mineral vein is incomparable to those iron and wood minerals. The Lin family made a fortune by selling Yangyuan Stone to Yancheng.

Moreover, this Yang Yuan Stone mine also became Lin Dong's early treasury. Relying on the Yang Yuan Stone and the Stone Talisman, he basically had no shortage of cultivation resources before breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm.

Thinking about how hard she still had to work to make money, Mu Zi shed tears of envy.

It’s amazing to have a mine at home!

Thinking of this, Mu Zi no longer had the mood to continue wandering around, and she decided to get her business done quickly.

They came to a loft deep inside the trading hall. This was Mu Zi's destination. It was an underground exchange, and only here could they trade valuable items.

Mu Zi bought a bamboo hat in a small shop and put it on, then walked into the underground exchange.

There were many doors on both sides of the dim corridor, where transactions were conducted. Mu Zi casually pushed open a half-open door and walked in.

Walking into the room, the dim light made the room a little dark. There was a large table in the room. The middle of the table was separated by a black iron bar. At the bottom, there was a window several feet in size.

"Please take a seat. If you need to trade anything, just put it under the window." After Mu Zi walked into the room, a slightly old voice came from behind the black iron bars. Mu Zi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, is it necessary to be so mysterious?

She suppressed her voice and simulated a hoarse voice. In order to make it sound less fake, Mu Zi even activated her Yuanli, otherwise such a low tone could not be produced by the girl's delicate throat.

"I have a third-grade martial arts book and would like to trade it for some training resources."

As she spoke, Mu Zi took out a yellowed secret book from her bosom and handed it over. The old man looked at Mu Zi in surprise when he saw that she was wearing a pair of black gloves.

Mu Zi remained calm, but felt slightly nervous.

She didn't want to look like someone in a suit, but if she didn't cover up her white, slender hands, she would be exposed.

Fortunately, there were quite a few guests with strange tempers, so the old man didn't think much about it and took the secret book that Mu Zi had specially made old.

"Mysterious Fist is a third-grade boxing technique. It also includes certain body movement skills, so it can be considered a good third-grade martial art."

Listening to the other party's evaluation, Mu Zi nodded secretly.

This old man obviously has extensive experience in appraisals and is a connoisseur of valuables. He did not intentionally lower the value of the items being traded and seemed to be a down-to-earth person.

"Fifty pieces of Yang Yuan Stone."

However, after hearing the old man's offer, Mu Zi retracted his previous evaluation.

"This old man, is he playing dirty tricks on me?"

Mu Zi had seen how vicious the other party was. Normally, the value of a third-grade martial art was at least 100 Yang Yuan stones, and some powerful third-grade martial arts could even be sold for more than 150 yuan.

The other party quoted a low price without blushing or beating his heart, probably to test me.

If Mu Zi was just a newbie who was lucky enough to pick up a third-grade martial art, he would have been ecstatic when he heard the offer of fifty yuan, and in the end, he let the old man get a good bargain.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, Mu Zi raised the price in a hoarse voice.

"One hundred and fifty dollars!"

"Your price is too high. I can only give you one hundred Yang Yuan Stones." Seeing that Mu Zi was an expert, the old man opposite secretly cursed.

"One hundred and forty-five dollars!"

After some bargaining, the final transaction price was locked at 132 Yang Yuan Stones.

After walking out of the underground exchange, Mu Zi found a corner, threw away the rag wrapped around the Yang Yuan Stone, replaced it with a clean handkerchief he brought with him, and then put the Yang Yuan Stone in his arms with satisfaction.

"It would be nice if I had a Qiankun bag."

The Qiankun bag has an independent storage space, so you don’t have to go through so much trouble with it.

"With these Yang Yuan stones, we will finally have enough resources for the time being."

Touching the package in her arms, Mu Zi felt relaxed and satisfied.

"And I've only sold one martial arts book. If I sell a few more, I won't have to worry about reaching the Earthly Origin Realm!"

However, Mu Zi was not overwhelmed by the Yang Yuan Stone and continued the transaction immediately. She knew that if she traded too much at one time, it would easily attract some malicious attention.

Anyway, the Yang Yuan Stones are enough for now, so it’s okay to trade them next time.

"Let's go back and break through the eighth level of body tempering first."

Putting away her bamboo hat, she walked out of the market town. The girl skipped towards Mujiazhuang, her hair fluttering in the wind like a happy butterfly.

　Let's make a transition first, and then we'll get to the main story in the next chapter. New book, please read it!
