BXBX NOVEL Chapter 171 - 170-what a scandal
“Hu!” Xia qingchen retracted his arms, and only then did the sharp sword of Qi slowly dissipate.
“With the foundation of the first form, the second form is much easier.
It took him a whole month to practice the first move.
The second form only required thirteen days.
Now that his cultivation and martial skills had improved, he wanted to try it out with Heng qianmo.
However, there were still two days before the one-month agreement.
“Two days. En, I can make a trip to the heavenly star Hall.” Xia qingchen mumbled to himself.
Today was the day he would bring back the materials from guxin Hill. He could not miss it.
He got up and went to the corner of the house.
Under normal circumstances, the seeds of the spiritual rice would sprout within a month.
However, this grain of Dragonheart rice showed no signs of sprouting.
One could see that the Lingnan region was not suitable for planting spiritual rice.
“I need to prepare some nutrient fluids.” Xia qingchen mumbled.
It just so happened that the ingredients for the nutrient solution could be purchased at the heavenly star Hall as well.
He left the residence.
Just as he stepped out, he saw a petite girl standing outside.
The top of her head and her shoulders were covered in white snow. In the bone-piercing cold wind, her fair face was red like a small apple.
A pair of frozen hands covered her mouth and kept blowing hot air.
“Huang Ying ‘er?” Xia qingchen recognized him with a single glance.
This woman was the young lady in charge of the counter for manager yang.
Huang Ying ‘er was shocked when she heard the voice. She quickly saluted,
“”Greetings, Junior Brother Xia.”
“What are you doing here?”
Huang Ying Jer’s Red Nose twitched, ” I’m here to inform Junior Brother Xia that the goods from Gu Xin Qiu have been sent back last night.
Xia qingchen glanced at her surroundings and saw the messy footprints of snow.
She must have been outside the door last night and never left.
“Why didn’t you call me?” Xia qingchen asked.
Huang Ying ‘er timidly looked at the luxurious snow listening tower and said, I m afraid I’ll disturb Junior Brother Xia’s cultivation.”
Therefore, he had to wait in the cold wind for an entire night?
Looking at the young lady who was only one to two years older than him, Xia qingchen felt a good impression in his heart.
Although her talent was average, she was a simple and honest person with a good character.
In the heavenly star Hall, he patiently explained to a newbie like him.
At this moment, she waited patiently in the cold wind for an entire night so that it would not affect his cultivation.
“Let’s go,” he said. Xia qingchen spoke.
Under Huang Ying ‘er’s lead, they once again arrived at the heavenly star Hall.
The heavenly star Hall was temporarily closed to the outside world.
Only internal staff can enter.
Inside the hall, there were boxes of goods, all of which were fresh materials picked from the ancient heart mound.
Spiritual stones, spiritual herbs, secret liquids, beast bones, divine fruits …
It had everything!
Moreover, many of them were rare treasures that could not be seen in the market and were rarely seen in the outside world.
At this moment, the ten shopkeepers and the people in charge of the counter were sorting the materials according to their categories.
Upon seeing Xia qingchen enter, manager yang and manager Zhou put down the items in their hands and said, “”Young master Xia is here.”
“You guys go ahead, I’ll take a look first.”
Xia qingchen didn’t disturb them.
This was because apart from the heavenly star Hall’s internal members, there was also an old man dressed in star-studded clothing present.
His fingers were exceptionally long, like ten chopsticks.
His eyes were extremely sharp.
Everyone was busy, except for him, who stood in the center of the heavenly star Hall, looking around as if he was the supervisor.
Manager yang and manager Zhou had merely greeted Xia qingchen, and the old man immediately glared at them.
the heavenly star Hall is becoming more and more unruly. They actually let outsiders in during the sorting of goods. What a scandal! The old man criticized in dissatisfaction.
Manager yang raised his eyebrows.
The old man came from the star Lord’s peak.
The star Lord peak was mainly responsible for the sect’s resources. The peak master was the great star Lord, who had come to the foot of the mountain for an inspection a month ago.
The old man in front of him was one of the 10 great elders under the great Star-Lord.
He was ordered to supervise the sorting and collection of this batch of resources in the ancient heart mound and to appraise the precious resources. elder Xing an, Xia qingchen is an honored guest of my heavenly star Palace and was also invited by me. He won’t affect the sorting of the goods. Manager yang said with a frown.
Elder Xing an’s merciless reprimand made manager yang unable to hide his face, so he directly retorted.
“If the goods are damaged, will you bear the responsibility, or will I?” Elder Xing an glared with his old eyes and asked.
Losses?
The meaning behind his words was that he suspected that Xia qingchen would steal the materials on the scene.
Xia qingchen’s brows twitched slightly, but he didn’t argue.
If he were to argue now, it would only aggravate the conflict and make it even more difficult for manager yang to back down.
Manager yang had kindly invited him to take the initiative, so he had no reason to continue making things difficult for him.
“Hmph! Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the losses!” Manager yang snorted and started sorting the goods.
Elder Xing an stared coldly at manager yang and similarly did not continue to argue.
The atmosphere calmed down, and everyone went back to their own business.
Xia qingchen watched from afar and didn’t get close to the goods to avoid suspicion.
The sorting process continued for four hours.
Several rare materials appeared, and the ten shopkeepers discussed for a long time. In the end, it was elder Xing an who appraised them.
Xia qingchen watched silently, sighing and shaking his head at times.
For some uncommon materials, their appraisal results were too far off.
But he did not interrupt.
This place was not a place where a low-level disciple could interrupt.
After this, he would secretly remind manager yang.
When the sorting was done, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
It was finally over.
Elder Xing an stood up and took out the registration book to re-check the goods that had been sorted.
As long as the verification was complete and the goods were not lost, the task would be considered complete. “Copper-boned rat-tail grass, one hundred and three.”
“Insect stone, three loads.”
There were many goods, and elder Xing an counted them meticulously.
In the end, they finally counted the most expensive batch of goods. There were some extremely precious and rare items, each of which was worth a city.
butterfly spirits, a pair of … Elder Xing an subconsciously prepared to put a tick on the registration book to indicate that it was correct.
However, his fingers stopped abruptly, and his eyes looked back into the Jade box.
The registration book indicated that there was a pair of butterfly spirits.
However, there was only one butterfly spirit left after it was divided into the Jade box!
“One is missing!” Elder Xing an put down his brush. His face was filled with anger and he had a cold smile on his face.
It was as if a person who was ready to pick a fight at any time had finally found something to use against him.
“Who took the other butterfly spirit?” Elder Xing an asked sternly.
Seeing that no one answered, elder Xing an slapped the registration book on the table and said in a dignified manner, ‘”‘You guys don’t try to be lucky! I’ve personally appraised the butterfly demon. I remember that it’s indeed a pair, and they’ve already been put into the Jade box intact!”
“Someone among you has stolen a butterfly demon from the Jade box!”
The shopkeepers and the people in charge of the counter looked at each other. They were in a hurry, how could they have time to steal the butterfly spirit?
Elder Xing an’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces. When his gaze swept past Xia qingchen, who was standing in the distance and doing nothing, his gaze paused.
“You, come here!” Elder Xing an extended his index finger and pointed into the distance as he shouted..
