C94 Marketplace

The moment their eyes met, Qin Xiaoyue's face was so red that it seemed as if blood was about to spill from her face. It was as if her eyes had been electrocuted as she hastily turned her gaze away.

Gu Yuan was a bit regretful. He knew that what he said had caused Qin Xiaoyue to misunderstand, but he did indeed think that way.

Previously, Qin Xiaoyue had risked her life to save him and the Gu family. That was why Gu Yuan had stayed behind despite the danger when they encountered Purple-clothed Fairy. However, his words had a completely different meaning.

Let alone Qin Xiaoyue, everyone present had misunderstood.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Jie took the initiative to speak up, "After this incident, I'm completely impressed by you. Can you write off the misunderstanding between us?" As he spoke, he extended his hand.

Gu Yuan didn't care about it in the first place. He reached out his hand to shake Zhang Jie's hand and said, "I didn't care about what happened before. Plus, I can understand why you did that."

Seeing that the two of them were holding hands, Wang Jian and the others were very happy.

Gu Yuan's real strength was laid out there. After these two events, not only Zhang Jie, Wang Jian and the other popinjays were also very impressed, plus the experience of the other side was also very inspiring, in their hearts, they had already become Wang Jian's role models. Now that they saw Gu Yuan and Zhang Jie getting along well, how could they not be happy?

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyue could no longer bear the awkward atmosphere and ran out. Niu Tiechui also returned to his tent to recuperate. A few youngsters who had eliminated their ill feelings walked together and immediately decided to stay drunk.

The next morning, the gathering place became lively very early in the morning. Gu Yuan rubbed his dizzy forehead and opened his eyes.

In the tent, Zhang Jie and the others were lying on the ground in disorder. Gu Yuan smiled bitterly, and after surviving the disaster and the surprise of Gu Yuan and Niu Tiechui's safe return, he let them go completely, drinking until the sky turned white before falling asleep.

Gu Yuan got up and walked out of the tent. He stretched lazily and realized that the sun had just risen, so it was only around 5 or 6 in the morning.

Many of the people in the camp had already headed in one direction in large groups.

Gu Yuan was puzzled. He grabbed one of them and asked, "Excuse me, where are you guys going?"

That person seemed to know Gu Yuan, so he didn't look down on Gu Yuan because of his identity as a martial artist. Instead, he patiently answered: "This might be your first time participating in the exam, so you don't know. Each exam is not only a chance for the big sects to show their strength, but also a rare opportunity to trade."

Gu Yuan heard this and asked, "A trading opportunity?"

That person nodded and said, "That's right. Normally, great sects rarely gather together, so they would take advantage of this opportunity to find a place to open a marketplace and exchange deals with each other."

"Speaking of which, unknowingly the Central Market has already become a tradition. Every time during the exam competition, the organizers of the competition would take the initiative to organize it."

Gu Yuan understood and was curious at the same time, so he decided to take a look at this market.

In Cultivator's transactions, other than bartering, the most common was buying with spirit stones. Unfortunately, because Gu Yuan needed energy, everything containing energy was absorbed by the system.

At this moment, the system really didn't have anything valuable to Cultivator in its storage.

When they arrived at the market, it was already bustling with people. The two sides of the long street were filled with all kinds of stalls and the sound of bargaining between Cultivator and them.

There were those who sold talismans, those who sold magic tools, and even those who used their signboard to purchase cultivation materials. All in all, it was extremely lively.

Gu Yuan looked at Cultivator as he walked. At the same time, he sighed: "Cultivator's trading market is not that different from a mortal's trading market."

While walking, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped in front of a stall. His eyes were attracted by an item on the stall.

It was a golden key!

Gu Yuan walked over and held the key in his hand.

As expected, a system prompt sounded in his ears.

"Name: Mysterious Evil Mysterious Repository Key (1) Value: 100 thousand Energy Points."

Purpose: Gathering all the keys in the secret scripture, can open the Evil Mysteries.

"It's true!"2

Adding on the three keys that he got before, this was the fourth key to the Mysterious Evil Library that Gu Yuan had seen.

Gu Yuan asked the stall owner without batting an eyelid, "What is this? How much is it? "

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man around the age of forty. He wore a green robe that made him look slightly old. He had a stern expression on his face and did not seem like he was going to smile at all.

Seeing that Gu Yuan asked so many questions, he just glanced at Gu Yuan and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes and he casually waved his hand as if he was shooing away flies: "Why are you asking so many questions as a fighter, hurry up and leave."

Gu Yuan frowned when he heard this. He was a bit angry at the man's attitude, but he controlled his temper and said, "You can sell it for a price. I'm just asking, what's wrong with that?"

The owner's temper didn't seem to be very good. Seeing that Gu Yuan was still pestering him, he immediately said rudely: "Why are you, a poor martial artist, asking so many questions? Can you afford it again if I tell you the price?"

Gu Yuan wanted to retort, but held back. He remembered that he really didn't have anything valuable to trade with.

Looking at the key in his hand, Gu Yuan was moved. Even if it wasn't for the Evil God's treasure, it would be worth a hundred thousand energy points.

Just when Gu Yuan was hesitating, the stall owner spoke again, "Don't block it here if you don't want to buy it." As he spoke, he reached for the key in Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan was helpless. Just as he was about to give up, a small white hand suddenly appeared and slapped the booth owner's hand back.

At the same time, a tender voice said, "Who said we can't afford it?"

Gu Yuan turned around and realized it was Qin Xiaoyue.

The little girl had just cried yesterday, and her eyes were still swollen. She was looking at the stall owner with a face full of anger.

Seeing that it was a little girl, the stall owner did not dare to bully her, and could only say with a cold face: "This key was unintentionally obtained by me, although I do not know what it is used for, but it has spiritual energy undulations, and is obviously not ordinary. I will not disrespect you, take away ten low rank soul stones, if you do not, then quickly leave, and do not delay my business."

Hearing this price, Gu Yuan was very tempted. Unfortunately, even if he was, he wouldn't be able to take out ten Spirit Stones. Let alone ten, he didn't even have a single one.

Seemingly sensing that Gu Yuan was very interested in this key, Qin Xiaoyue said to the booth owner, "10 Spirit Stones, right? We want this key." As he said that, he ignored Gu Yuan's surprised expression. With a swipe of his hand, ten low rank soul stones the size of a thumb appeared in his hand and he handed them over to the stall owner.

It seemed to be quite unexpected that the two fighters actually carried spirit stones with them. However, the stall owner didn't bother with it and straightforwardly completed the transaction. He handed the key to Gu Yuan and said, "Young man, your girlfriend is not bad."

"Eh, she …" Without waiting for Gu Yuan to explain, Qin Xiaoyue ran away blushing.
