Chapter 230: Gratitude and Conscience (1/2)
Chapter 230 Gratitude and Conscience
Ten minutes later, all the elixirs on the table were sold out. The little medical fairy lightly tossed the Najie in his hand and looked at Xiao Yan proudly.
"Done~a total of 320,000."
"Little Medical Fairy, thank you." Xiao Yan said with deep admiration in his eyes, "This money"
"Stop! I'm not short of money, I don't need you to share it."
Before Xiao Yan could say anything, the little medical fairy raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"I'm just doing a small favor as a friend. You can't even care about this kind of thing, right?"
"But."
The words of the Little Medical Fairy made Xiao Yan frown slightly. Although the elixir was refined by himself, if it weren't for the Little Medical Fairy, how could he have sold it so well with his selling skills? According to Xiao Yan's estimation, if he had been allowed to sell it, , not to mention how long it took, I’m afraid it won’t sell for 320,000 yuan.
"Xiao Yan." The little medical fairy interrupted Xiao Yan's words again, staring at him closely, "My life was saved by you. If you hadn't fought to save me several times, I would have died by now. I’m going to accompany Boss Yao.”
The little medical fairy handed the Najie in her hand to Xiao Yan, and asked Zheng Sheng.
"Or do you think that my life is not even worth this little money?"
The little medical fairy is well aware of Xiao Yan's stubbornness, and to deal with this stubbornness, he has to follow his ideas.
If you don't respond, then in your heart my life is not worth the money.
This is actually a different kind of moral kidnapping, and it only works for people like Xiao Yan. In other words, it can only work for people like Xiao Yan. Others would have accepted the money a long time ago, so why is it like this? Too many pushovers and blockers.
"Xiao Yan, you have been dedicating yourself to me so far. I have received so many favors from you, so naturally I want to dedicate something to you."
"But how much can I give you?"
"In terms of fighting, I can't help you. Instead, I am a drag on you. But at least I hope that I can help you in this kind of thing and repay some of your kindness to me, even just a little."
"For me, helping you is what I should do, just like you help me."
Looking at the sincere eyes of the little medical fairy, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time.
After a while, Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to take the ring, with a helpless smile on his lips.
"I see."
Xiao Yan looked at the Najie in his hand quietly, with a somewhat confused look on his face.
I have been adhering to the principle that if others help me, I should repay the kindness to others.
But I never thought about how others would repay me when I helped others.
Because in Xiao Yan's understanding, helping others should be based on one's own heart, not profit. Xiao Yan did not want to lend a helping hand just for the reward.
But now, Xiao Yan suddenly reacted.
If you have given kindness to others and others are unable to repay you, will that person feel the same uneasy conscience as you?
Maybe, maybe not.
Xiao Yan would not feel sorry for those who did not feel uneasy conscience.
Because it is your own decision to help the other person, and you have no right to ask the other person to repay your kindness.
But it's obvious that the Little Medical Fairy is the kind of person who feels uneasy about his conscience because he has received kindness but cannot repay it.
From another perspective, refusing such a person to repay his kindness is also invisibly hurting the other person.
In this case, what is the difference between the kindness I gave you and the invisible blade?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes showed some relief, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
There are still many mistakes that I need to correct.
Xiao Yan looked at the little medical fairy, with deep tenderness in his eyes, and called softly.
"Little Medical Fairy, thank you."
"Huh?" Hearing Xiao Yan's thanks, the little medical fairy showed dissatisfaction on his face, "I already told you that you don't need to thank me, I just did you a small favor."
In response to the little medical fairy's response, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.
"That's not right." Xiao Yan responded softly, "I thank you not for selling the elixir, but for another thing that is more important to me."
Looking at the doubtful expression on the little medical fairy's face, Xiao Yan smiled softly, put away the ring and said softly without explaining.
"Let's go~ Let's continue to see what good things we can find~"
Seeing Xiao Yan holding Qinglin's hand and slowly leaving, the little medical fairy froze on the spot and muttered displeasedly after a while.
"What is this guy talking about? He's so mysterious."
Immediately, the little medical fairy quickly followed up, took Qinglin's other hand, and walked around the market with the two of them.
After walking around, Xiao Yan also gained a lot. Not only did he collect various medicinal materials for his future cultivation, but he also found several medicinal materials used to help the little medical fairy control the evil body.
Sure enough, it is indeed a gathering held specifically for alchemists, and there are many good things.
But what replaced it was the 320,000 gold coins that Xiao Yan had just earned by selling pills. In the blink of an eye, there were only less than 30,000 gold coins left, which made Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Refining medicine is really expensive, and you can't even afford it if you don't have enough money.
As for Xiao Yan's deepest feelings, the drug in the ring also felt helpless.
There was nothing she could do, she really had no money, so whenever she had some money, she decided to use it all for Xiao Yan.
Although there are many genius treasures and high-level fighting skills in the ring, Xiao Yan cannot sell the medicine.
It's not that Yao Chen is stingy. After all, Yao Chen is willing to give up his life for Xiao Yan. What's the pity of these things?
But even if Yao Chen took them out, let's not talk about whether Xiao Yan would accept them. The things in his ring would be jealous in this small Jia Ma Empire. If someone were to take them out, Xiao Yan might be killed. Yao Chen knew the truth of "having a treasure is a crime" after being on the mainland for so long.
The greed in the hearts of humans is far more terrible than you can imagine. "Well, that should be all."
After walking around for a few times, Xiao Yan did not see anything worth buying at this stage, and looked at Xiao Yixian.
"It seems that there is nothing to buy. Let's go."
"Yeah."
Xiao Yixian nodded lightly. She and Qinglin came to accompany Xiao Yan to stroll around. Now that Xiao Yan has nothing to buy, they naturally have no reason to stay here.
Just as Xiao Yan and the other two were about to leave the market, Xiao Yan's eyebrows suddenly raised and his eyes looked at a stall. There were a bunch of things that looked like rags on the stall, but the thing in the bottle in the middle caught Xiao Yan's attention.
The enchanting pink flame looked very eye-catching and gorgeous, which aroused Xiao Yan's curiosity and asked Yao Chen in his heart.
(Senior Yao, is that a strange fire?)
Yao Chen responded angrily to his disciple's ignorant question.
(Are you dreaming? Can your strange fire be sold in a bottle?)
Strange fire is born between heaven and earth. Maybe someone can really seal it, but even the lowest level of strange fire cannot be preserved in a small bottle. If the bottle is not burned, it is not ashamed to call it a strange fire.
(So what is that?)
(That's just the fire of the beast fire, just like your purple fire.) Yao Chen glanced at the peach-colored flame and immediately identified the source of the fire. (That beast fire is called peach blossom fire, which was born from the fifth-level magic beast Kuimu Wolf. The level is not much different from the purple fire in your body, but it is very docile and not so violent. Of course, the temperature and destructive power are far less than that of the purple fire.)
(Well, can this peach blossom fire increase the level of the Burning Art?)
Xiao Yan asked this. He has always kept in mind the matter of increasing the level of the Burning Art. After all, this is an important indicator for Yao Chen's resurrection. Even if it is only to increase it by one level, Xiao Yan will find a way to do it.
However, Yao Chen's answer made Xiao Yan a little disappointed.
(It shouldn't work. The energy gap between beast fire and alien fire is huge. Even if you absorbed the purple fire, it only raised the Burning Art from the low level of the yellow rank to the middle level of the yellow rank, not to mention that the Burning Art has now been raised to the middle level of the mysterious rank. The energy of the peach blossom fire is probably not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Burning Art. It's not worth buying it.)
Yao Chen said this, paused, and continued.
(What's more, the peach blossom fire is only in shape. The fire is already broken and will soon dissipate completely. If someone can successfully absorb this thing into the body and transform it successfully, then I really admire it.)
As soon as Yao Chen finished speaking, her heart suddenly jumped, and then her eyes looked at Xiao Yan.
Sure enough, after hearing what she just said, Xiao Yan's brows were already tightly furrowed.
For Xiao Yan, bargaining is normal in buying and selling, just like when Xiao Yixian helped him sell the pills, she also raised the price a little, otherwise it would not be sold for so much money.
But the premise is that his own pills do have those effects. Although Xiao Yixian raised the price, she knew Xiao Yan's character very well and did not exaggerate its effects. She told the customers exactly what they were. Since those customers could accept and were willing to pay, everyone was naturally happy.
However, the peach blossom fire displayed by the stall owner did not have any logo. It was purely useless and was obviously a scam.
Xiao Yan knew that he was meddling in other people's business, but he couldn't stand seeing such a thing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan let go of Qinglin's hand and walked towards the stall under the puzzled eyes of Qinglin and Xiao Yixian. Yao Chen in the ring slapped his face.
You say we clearly know what kind of character our disciple is, why do we say that?
And just as Xiao Yan walked towards the stall, another figure came to the stall first.
It was a silver-haired girl with a cold and beautiful face and a slightly regretful figure. She stared at the peach blossom fire on the stall, and the desire in her eyes was obvious at a glance. In the eyes of the stall owner, she was a lamb to be slaughtered.
"This lovely lady, are you interested in this peach blossom fire?"
The silver-haired girl nodded slightly, pointed at the peach blossom fire, and slowly spoke in a cold voice.
"How much is this?"
"I don't want money." The stall owner waved his hand lightly, laughing, "I only need a roll of a fourth-grade prescription with clear soul traces."
Just a roll of a fourth-grade prescription with clear soul traces?
Hearing his words, the stall owner next to him rolled his eyes.
The stall owners around have been in this business for many years, so they can naturally see the clues of the peach blossom fire at a glance, and they can't help but complain about the stall owner in their hearts.
How dare you ask for it? A fourth-grade prescription with clear traces of souls would take a real fourth-grade alchemist almost half a year to make one roll. Not to mention whether your peach blossom fire is incomplete or not, even if there is really no problem with this peach blossom fire, it is definitely not worth the price.
This is not just a bad heart, it is simply heartless! And the one who cheated is this delicate and naive little girl in front of you, you are so stupid!
However, the stall owner next to him complained in his heart, but he did not speak up to meddle in other people's business.
In business, although the stall owner is unscrupulous, they think that being cheated when buying things is purely their own fault. In addition, they have no relatives or friends with the silver-haired girl, and they have no obligation to offend others for her. They just pray in their hearts that the silver-haired girl can detect the problem of the peach blossom fire.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed.
Perhaps it was really because of her lack of vision, or perhaps her attention was all attracted by the peach blossom fire. The silver-haired girl did not find that there was anything wrong with the peach blossom fire. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a scroll from the ring.
"This is the fourth-grade pill recipe with clear soul traces that you want."
As she said, the silver-haired girl handed the scroll out, and the stall owners around her shook their heads helplessly when they saw this scene.
It seems that this girl has suffered a great loss. I hope she will learn her lesson after being cheated this time and not be slaughtered as a fat sheep next time.
When the stall owner saw the scroll handed over by the silver-haired girl, his eyes were immediately filled with joy. He put out the peach blossom fire seed just to try his luck without any hope, but he didn't expect to meet such a pure-blooded fool!
The stall owner stood up, with greed in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to the scroll handed over by the silver-haired girl.
Seeing that the stall owner's hand was about to touch the scroll, a hand suddenly inserted from the side and blocked the stall owner's hand and the scroll, causing the stall owner to suddenly stagnate and look at the owner of the hand.
With a sharp look and a righteous face, who else could it be but Xiao Yan?
The silver-haired girl was stunned when she saw Xiao Yan suddenly inserted himself in, and there was a little confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand what this young man who had never met before wanted to do.
Xiao Yan did not explain anything to the silver-haired girl, but just looked at the stall owner and whispered.
"Boss, before the transaction, can you give this lady a detailed introduction to the peach blossom fire?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the stall owner's face instantly turned ugly, and then he heard Xiao Yan's next words.
"There is no need to introduce its own value. In the matter of buying and selling, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. No matter whether it is worth the price you said, as long as the other party agrees, the transaction can be established."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said lightly.
"But the premise is that you have not cheated on the goods you are trading."
