Chapter 67: The Odd Stall Owner
She then glanced at the stall beside her.
There were several strange items on it.
She scanned the items casually and her gaze landed on a small gray pearl.
The pearl was the size of a soybean and its color resembled dust.
It was not eye-catching at all.
However, the aura on it was familiar, and very similar to the jade pendant.
It was a very mysterious feeling.
She just had a feeling that they should be from the same lineage.
Xia Muqing took a step forward and under the stall owner’s sharp gaze, she unconsciously skipped the pearl.
She could clearly see a glint in the stall owner’s eyes.
Xia Muqing picked up another item as if nothing had happened.
It was a palm-sized stone slab that was covered in rust.
She asked, “How much is this?”
The stall owner was wearing a huge hat that covered half of his face.
However, from the lower part of his face that was revealed, he appeared to be a young man.
He said, “This is an extraordinary treasure.
It’s passed down from generation to generation in our family… I think it’s fate that I met you.
I’ll sell it to you for a thousand gold taels.
”
.
.
.
He acted like a businessman and rattled on.
Xia Muqing automatically ignored him and only heard his final offer.
She put down the item in her hand and straightened her body to leave.
The young man hurriedly shouted, “Miss, if you think the price isn’t appropriate, you can bargain.
Don’t go.
”
Xia Muqing stopped in her tracks and said, “You have gone way too overboard.
How do I even bargain?”

The stall owner replied casually, “Try it.
What if I agree?”
A teasing glint sparkled in Xia Muqing’s eyes.
“Then I’ll pay… one tael.
”
The stall owner, who was waiting for her offer, was so shocked that he even dropped his straw hat.
Only then did Xia Muqing see his face clearly.
He was indeed a young man.
He looked very delicate and his skin was so soft that he looked like a rich young master.
One… tael!
Tian Qi widened his eyes in shock and stared at Xia Muqing.
There was someone more shameless than him in this world.
Xia Muqing also looked at him calmly.
Tian Qi grinned and said, “Deal.
”
It was Xia Muqing’s turn to be shocked.
He was really selling his stuff for one tael despite his original asking offer of a thousand taels?
With a twitch of her lips, she reached out and picked up the gray pearl she really wanted.
“How much is this?”
Tian Qi’s eyes flashed and he said, “This doesn’t require money.
It is a gift to you.
After all, you’ve given me a tael.
”
He had emphasized the words ‘one tael’, so it was obvious that he cared a lot.
Xia Muqing accepted his offer quickly and handed the money to him.
The young man didn’t take her money.
Instead, he looked at her and said, “We will meet again.
”
With that said, he disappeared with a flash.
Puzzled, Xia Muqing placed the pearl and the stone slab in her bag.
She continued walking towards the inn.
She booked a premium room and ordered some food and drinks.
After Xia Muqing had eaten her fill, she lay on the bed and took out the jade pendant and the pearl she had bought today.
She kept trying, but both items didn’t seem to have any connection.
It was as if everything that had happened today was an illusion.
Since she couldn’t figure it out, Xia Muqing simply placed the jade pendant and pearl in a box and left them aside.
She wanted to have a good sleep.
She came to the dining hall for breakfast.
Unsurprisingly, everyone was talking about the spirit treasure that had appeared in the mountains and was about to be born.
The mystic realm barrier this time appeared on the east side of the Sunset Mountains.
It was a little far from this location.
That was why Xia Muqing was able to book a room at the inn yesterday.
The inns near the barrier had long been overcrowded.
Xia Muqing wasn’t in the mood to join the crowd and she ate her breakfast peacefully.
After breakfast, she headed towards the east side of the mountains.
She had never been to the east the last time she was here.
Only after she arrived did she realize that this entrance was even larger than the one in the west.
However, not many people usually chose to enter from the entrance, and it appeared a little desolate.
However, because of the appearance of the mystic realm barrier, there were countless people gathered here.
