Free Web NovelAfter Mingxi finished speaking, Zhou Yexiu's facial expression and eyes showed a very obvious sense of discord.
The former was angry and irritable.
The latter was sad and melancholic.
It was very distorted.
Although distorted, their minds were both clear.
It was as if both the ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) human and the Transcendent creature were influencing the behavior of this body.
In short, it was terrifying.
It was even more terrifying than schizophrenia.
It was like two people squeezing into a one-square-meter small toilet, evenly matched, both wanting to snatch the right to use the toilet.
But neither could do anything about the other.
The toilet could be used, but it had to be used together, with one butt occupying each side...
The scene was too beautiful; I dared not imagine it.
"None of your business!" Zhou Yexiu cursed angrily.
Good, good, good.
He even used a four-character idiom.
He understood human relations.
Mingxi wasn't angry; she smiled and praised, "You use idioms well; just don't use them next time."
She had noticed earlier that this person spoke strangely; he would even slur his words when refusing a toast.
It turned out he wasn't a cultured person at all.
Long live understanding.
"Grandpa, do you need anything else?"
Although he had such a 'grandson,' this old man was also very pitiful.
But there were so many pitiful people in the world.
Which one of her Gold, Silver, and Blue wasn't pitiful?
Given her current situation, sympathizing with herself and loving her family was the greatest help she could offer society.
The implied meaning was:
Now, doing business was paramount. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Little friend, how do you exchange for the other materials at your stall?"
Zhou Yaqi was not angry because of her attitude.
Given his grandson's situation, it was already very good that this stall owner was willing to be kind and polite to him, an old man.
"Do you want to package them all, or just select a few?"
"What's the price for packaging them all?"
"For packaging them all," Mingxi stroked her chin and considered for a moment before saying, "two sss-grade materials, and the materials must be of the super-energy attribute. If they are other attribute materials, then it would be three kinds."
She had displayed a total of sixteen materials, including two SS-grade materials, and the remaining fourteen were S-grade materials.
So, although her exchange price was a bit high, it was definitely not an exorbitant demand.
It depended on whether the other party needed these things.
Zhou Yaqi did not feel that Mingxi's proposed exchange conditions were problematic.
In his opinion, the stall owner's asking price was fair, as rare materials were a seller's market these days.
However, he truly couldn't produce two, or even three, sss-grade materials with super-energy attributes.
Although Zhou Yexiu acted as if he was invincible and supreme, in reality, his Zhou family was at most a third-rate small family.
Moreover, the Zhou family was able to establish a foothold in Han Ning City because Zhou Yaqi was a long-established S-Level Pharmacist.
A while ago, he was invited into Mystic Ground No. 214 and unexpectedly obtained a special Bonds Potion formula that could enhance the bond strength between Beast Tamers and their pet beasts.
Originally, this was a great joyous event that would definitely allow their Zhou family to ascend to a higher level.
But somehow, the news of him obtaining the Bonds Potion formula was leaked, attracting the covetous gaze and prying eyes of certain individuals.
Zhou Yexiu was the most talented among the younger generation of the Zhou family and was also recognized as the future heir of the Zhou family.
As a result of this incident, he was ambushed and forced to merge with a fairy-type Transcendent creature, Galan Mei, becoming a merged Alien .
Moreover, his mutation was very severe; there was no other way to save him except for a Elimination Potion above SS-grade.
Leaving aside the material requirements, the dissolution potion itself was very difficult to produce.
Now, he even needed an SS-grade potion!
Zhou Yaqi was simply unable to produce it, but entrusting it to others?
Given the current situation of the Zhou family, unless they handed over the Bonds Potion formula, no SS-Level Pharmacist or breeder would help.
So, he could only rely on himself to advance to become an SS-Level Pharmacist.
But how difficult was it to advance to SS-grade?
It not only required extensive experience accumulation but also a large investment of money and resources.
Especially the latter, to advance to an SS-Level Pharmacist, one must produce at least three SS-grade potions.
This also meant that S-grade or even SS-grade materials would inevitably be used.
But S-grade materials costing hundreds of millions of star coins were one thing; the biggest problem was that they were priceless.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stuck at S-grade for decades, unable to break through.
To put it bluntly, it was due to insufficient resources.
He came to the exchange fair alone today precisely to see if he could find what he needed.
Unexpectedly, he not only found the most important sss-grade iridescent energy crystal for the dissolution potion, but all the other materials sold by this stall owner were S-grade and above.
But her exchange conditions...
"Little friend, may I have a word in private?"
It wasn't that his Zhou family couldn't produce two or even three sss-grade materials, but such an exchange would be somewhat unprofitable.
So, he thought of another trading method.
Mingxi naturally understood Zhou Yaqi's implied meaning.
She thought about it and still agreed.
After putting away all the materials at the stall, Mingxi and Zhou Yaqi, the grandfather and grandson, rented a trading room at the association.
"Grandpa, you can speak directly now."
Although it was past nine o'clock.
Mingxi had already completed tonight's Time Realm in the trading room.
But she still wanted to go home early, so her Grandma wouldn't worry.
"You're so rude, why don't you take off your mask!" Zhou Yexiu questioned.
Although his emotions were relatively stable at this moment, he couldn't be considered a normal person after all.
Mingxi didn't even look at him.
Nor did she have any intention of taking off her mask.
She wasn't here to make friends with them.
"Xiaoxiu, control yourself, Grandpa believes you can do it."
Zhou Yaqi patted the young man's arm beside him and did not get angry because of his bad temper.
He knew that both his great-grandson and that Galan Mei were just unwilling.
Meeting the old man's gentle gaze, Zhou Yexiu pouted, lowered his head, and said nothing more.
Zhou Yaqi sighed lightly, looked at Mingxi, and said, "Little friend, are you interested in special ingredients?"
"Of course."
Mingxi nodded.
"Then there's a place you might also be interested in."
"I'd like to hear the details."
"Have you heard of Mystic Mirage Sea?"
Mingxi frowned, recalling the knowledge she had learned, "Are you referring to the legendary sacred land of the former Illusion Sea Merman race in the North Cold Ocean?"
Zhou Yaqi nodded.
"That's right."
Probably knowing what Mingxi was about to ask, Zhou Yaqi directly said, "About four months ago, the black ice layer on the periphery of the Mystic Mirage Sea cracked for some unknown reason."
Mingxi understood. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The Mystic Mirage Sea was not a Mystic Ground or a secret realm, but a deep-sea ruin located at the bottom of the North Cold Ocean.
It was said to be the sacred land where the Illusion Sea Merman clan once lived.
Of course, whether the legend was true had not yet been clearly confirmed.
Because the periphery of the ruins was surrounded by a layer of black ice over a hundred meters thick all year round.
