nTranslator: 549690339

n“Hu!” Xia qingchen retracted his arms, and only then did the sharp sword of Qi slowly dissipate.

n“With the foundation of the first form, the second form is much easier.

nIt took him a whole month to practice the first move.

nThe second form only required thirteen days.

nNow that his cultivation and martial skills had improved, he wanted to try it out with Heng qianmo.

nHowever, there were still two days before the one-month agreement.

n“Two days. En, I can make a trip to the heavenly star Hall.” Xia qingchen mumbled to himself.

nToday was the day he would bring back the materials from guxin Hill. He could not miss it.

nHe got up and went to the corner of the house.

nUnder normal circumstances, the seeds of the spiritual rice would sprout within a month.

nHowever, this grain of Dragonheart rice showed no signs of sprouting.

nOne could see that the Lingnan region was not suitable for planting spiritual rice.

n“I need to prepare some nutrient fluids.” Xia qingchen mumbled.

nIt just so happened that the ingredients for the nutrient solution could be purchased at the heavenly star Hall as well.

nHe left the residence.

nJust as he stepped out, he saw a petite girl standing outside.

nThe 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.

nA pair of frozen hands covered her mouth and kept blowing hot air.

n“Huang Ying ‘er?” Xia qingchen recognized him with a single glance.

nThis woman was the young lady in charge of the counter for manager yang.

nHuang Ying ‘er was shocked when she heard the voice. She quickly saluted,

n“”Greetings, Junior Brother Xia.”

n“What are you doing here?”

nHuang 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.

nXia qingchen glanced at her surroundings and saw the messy footprints of snow.

nShe must have been outside the door last night and never left.

n“Why didn’t you call me?” Xia qingchen asked.

nHuang Ying ‘er timidly looked at the luxurious snow listening tower and said, I m afraid I’ll disturb Junior Brother Xia’s cultivation.”

nTherefore, he had to wait in the cold wind for an entire night?

nLooking at the young lady who was only one to two years older than him, Xia qingchen felt a good impression in his heart.

nAlthough her talent was average, she was a simple and honest person with a good character.

nIn the heavenly star Hall, he patiently explained to a newbie like him.

nAt this moment, she waited patiently in the cold wind for an entire night so that it would not affect his cultivation.

n“Let’s go,” he said. Xia qingchen spoke.

nUnder Huang Ying ‘er’s lead, they once again arrived at the heavenly star Hall.

nThe heavenly star Hall was temporarily closed to the outside world.

nOnly internal staff can enter.

nInside the hall, there were boxes of goods, all of which were fresh materials picked from the ancient heart mound.

nSpiritual stones, spiritual herbs, secret liquids, beast bones, divine fruits …

nIt had everything!

nMoreover, many of them were rare treasures that could not be seen in the market and were rarely seen in the outside world.

nAt this moment, the ten shopkeepers and the people in charge of the counter were sorting the materials according to their categories.

nUpon seeing Xia qingchen enter, manager yang and manager Zhou put down the items in their hands and said, “”Young master Xia is here.”

n“You guys go ahead, I’ll take a look first.”

nXia qingchen didn’t disturb them.

nThis was because apart from the heavenly star Hall’s internal members, there was also an old man dressed in star-studded clothing present.

nHis fingers were exceptionally long, like ten chopsticks.

nHis eyes were extremely sharp.

nEveryone was busy, except for him, who stood in the center of the heavenly star Hall, looking around as if he was the supervisor.

nManager yang and manager Zhou had merely greeted Xia qingchen, and the old man immediately glared at them.

nthe 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.

nManager yang raised his eyebrows.

nThe old man came from the star Lord’s peak.

nThe 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.

nThe old man in front of him was one of the 10 great elders under the great Star-Lord.

nHe 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.

nElder Xing an’s merciless reprimand made manager yang unable to hide his face, so he directly retorted.

n“If the goods are damaged, will you bear the responsibility, or will I?” Elder Xing an glared with his old eyes and asked.

nLosses?

nThe meaning behind his words was that he suspected that Xia qingchen would steal the materials on the scene.

nXia qingchen’s brows twitched slightly, but he didn’t argue.

nIf he were to argue now, it would only aggravate the conflict and make it even more difficult for manager yang to back down.

nManager yang had kindly invited him to take the initiative, so he had no reason to continue making things difficult for him.

n“Hmph! Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the losses!” Manager yang snorted and started sorting the goods.

nElder Xing an stared coldly at manager yang and similarly did not continue to argue.

nThe atmosphere calmed down, and everyone went back to their own business.

nXia qingchen watched from afar and didn’t get close to the goods to avoid suspicion.

nThe sorting process continued for four hours.

nSeveral rare materials appeared, and the ten shopkeepers discussed for a long time. In the end, it was elder Xing an who appraised them.

nXia qingchen watched silently, sighing and shaking his head at times.

nFor some uncommon materials, their appraisal results were too far off.

nBut he did not interrupt.

nThis place was not a place where a low-level disciple could interrupt.

nAfter this, he would secretly remind manager yang.

nWhen the sorting was done, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

nIt was finally over.

nElder Xing an stood up and took out the registration book to re-check the goods that had been sorted.

nAs 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.”

n“Insect stone, three loads.”

nThere were many goods, and elder Xing an counted them meticulously.

nIn 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.

nbutterfly spirits, a pair of … Elder Xing an subconsciously prepared to put a tick on the registration book to indicate that it was correct.

nHowever, his fingers stopped abruptly, and his eyes looked back into the Jade box.

nThe registration book indicated that there was a pair of butterfly spirits.

nHowever, there was only one butterfly spirit left after it was divided into the Jade box!

n“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.

nIt was as if a person who was ready to pick a fight at any time had finally found something to use against him.

n“Who took the other butterfly spirit?” Elder Xing an asked sternly.

nSeeing 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!”

n“Someone among you has stolen a butterfly demon from the Jade box!”

nThe 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?

nElder 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.

n“You, come here!” Elder Xing an extended his index finger and pointed into the distance as he shouted..
