The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties.
Seeing that someone had finally taken a liking to what was on his stall, he immediately perked up.
"Young man, you have a good eye!"
"This is a special ore I acquired from a merchant caravan!"
"It's said to have been transported from a very far place!"
"Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you, it might just be some rare treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Boss, just tell me the price!"
"Hey-hey!"
The stall owner gave an awkward smile.
He then extended three fingers.
"Three hundred Gold Soul Coin!"
"Three hundred?"
Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
This price isn't too expensive.
after all.
For him now, a few hundred Gold Soul Coin are nothing at all.
Thinking about this...
Xiao Xuan was about to take out his money.
However!
Just then!
"Etc!"
A rough voice suddenly came from behind.
Xiao Xuan was slightly taken aback.
I turned my head to look.
A tall, strong young man was walking briskly towards them.
The young man looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
His body was muscular yet remarkably well-defined.
Even with clothes on, you could tell he had a strong physique.
It's none other than!
It was none other than Tai Long of the Strength Clan!
Tai Long walked straight to the stall.
His gaze swept across the area and immediately landed on the ore in Xiao Xuan's hand.
His eyes lit up immediately!
"This is it!"
Then he looked at the stall owner.
"Boss!"
"I want this ore!"
Upon hearing this...
Xiao Xuan was immediately delighted.
Good heavens!
I was just about to buy it when someone else tried to snatch it away?
The stall owner's eyes lit up!
This thing has been sitting on the stall for so long, but nobody's bought it.
I never expected two buyers to show up today!
It seems so.
I just asked for 300 Gold Soul Coin, but that was too low!
Thinking about this...
The stall owner's eyes darted around slightly.
His face immediately lit up with a smile.
"You two!"
There's only one of these ore pieces!
"Since you all want it, then why don't you..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Tai Long then spoke directly.
"Five hundred Gold Soul Coin!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Xuan.
"Kid, I need this ore. You'd better get something else!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but smile.
What a coincidence!
"I'm quite interested in this ore too."
"Six hundred Gold Soul Coin!"
"You!"
Tai Long frowned.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Xiao Xuan to dare to bid against him.
but.
Since he came today, he must have come prepared.
He immediately snorted coldly.
"One Gold Soul Coin!"
"One thousand and five."
Xiao Xuan said slowly and deliberately.
"Two thousand!"
"Three thousand!"
Without a second thought, Xiao Xuan immediately raised the price.
Now.
Tai Long's expression finally changed.
He hadn't expected that this young man, who looked so young, would be so generous!
Three Gold Soul Coin!
This is no small sum!
Especially for a piece of ore of unknown origin, the price is ridiculously high!
but.
He thought about what his second uncle had told him.
Tai Long gritted his teeth.
"Four thousand!"
After saying that, he stared intently at Xiao Xuan.
Clearly, they hope the other party will back down.
pity.
Xiao Xuan didn't even blink.
Six thousand!
"What?!"
Tai Long's eyes widened immediately!
Six Gold Soul Coin?!
This guy's insane!
It's just a broken rock, isn't it?
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?
The stall owner standing nearby was so excited that his face turned completely red!
Six thousand!
A full six Gold Soul Coin!
You need to know.
When I acquired this ore, it didn't even cost ten Gold Soul Coin!
Now someone is actually willing to pay six thousand!
This is like a windfall!
"Six Gold Soul Coin!"
The stall owner quickly shouted:
"This young man bids six thousand!"
Are there any higher ones?
As he spoke, he looked at Tai Long with anticipation.
However.
Tai Long's face was now as black as the bottom of a pot!
Six Gold Soul Coin!
This is well beyond his budget!
Although the Strength Clan is renowned for its forging skills, it doesn't mean they can just casually come up with so much money.
not to mention.
My second uncle only asked him to come out and find materials; he didn't give him the power to spend money without limit!
Thinking about this...
Tai Long couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Seven thousand!"
This is his final line!
However!
He had barely finished speaking.
Xiao Xuan then spoke very casually.
"Ten thousand!"
"..."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Tai Long opened his mouth.
He stood there speechless for a long time!
Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin?!
Just who is this guy?!
They actually spent 10,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy a piece of broken ore!
Isn't he afraid of losing money?
But looking at Xiao Xuan's nonchalant expression...
Tai Long was truly speechless.
after all.
They're really rich!
And they kept raising the price right in front of him!
What could he possibly do?
"How?"
Xiao Xuan looked at him with a smile.
Should we add more?
"You!"
Tai Long's face flushed red with anger.
But ultimately...
He could only grit his teeth and utter two words.
"No!"
After saying that, he turned and left angrily!
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan ignored him.
Instead, he turned to look at the stall owner.
"Boss."
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin."
"This thing is mine now, right?"
"It's yours!"
"Of course it's yours!"
The stall owner nodded excitedly.
As if afraid that Xiao Xuan would change his mind, he quickly smiled and said:
"Young man, don't worry!"
"This ore is yours now!"
Xiao Xuan didn't waste any words.
Withdraw the Gold Soul Coin directly to complete the transaction.
He then stored the ore in his Storage Soul Tool.
The whole process was swift and efficient.
Even Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
"Brother Xiao Xuan!"
"You're really willing to spend that much!"
"What's so special about that ore that it's worth 10,000 Gold Soul Coin?"
"Hey-hey!"
Xiao Xuan smiled.
It's too early to say.
"However, I feel this thing is probably not simple."
"It might come in very handy in the future."
"Oh?"
Dugu Yan immediately became interested.
"So, you actually figured something out?"
I guess so!
Xiao Xuan didn't offer much explanation.
After all, this material is used to upgrade Soul Ring.
A mere ten thousand Gold Soul Coin.
What's done is done.
There's absolutely no need to feel sorry for them.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Xiao Xuan was unwilling to say more, Dugu Yan did not press him further.
Instead, she smiled and took his arm.
"I never knew Xiao Xuan was so rich!"
"Looks like I'll have to borrow some money from you if my sister ever needs it again!"
" Sister Yanyan, please stop joking with me."
Xiao Xuan was immediately left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You're the Poison Douluo's granddaughter!"
"How could we possibly be short of money?"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Dugu Yan said in a very serious tone:
"My sister worked hard to save up her money!"
"How can I compare to a little rich man like you!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Xiao Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"If Sister Yanyan ever needs money in the future, just come to me!"
That's more like it!
Dugu Yan smiled with satisfaction.
The two chatted and laughed, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
