Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Chapter 269 What is Talent

three days later.

Three people wearing the inner sect uniforms of the Five Poison Sect walked into the Chilian Sect market.

Looking closely, the older man was about nineteen years old, handsome, with extraordinary demeanor, and in the late foundation building stage.

The younger woman was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her beauty could not be concealed even in the black robe she wore. She was lively and cute in both movement and stillness, and her cultivation level was in the middle stage of foundation building.

The youngest man was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face and big eyes, a simple and honest look, and was in the initial stage of foundation building.

The three of them went straight to the bookstore and picked out eight books on refining equipment. The older man paid the bill.

Then the three of them came to the magic weapon shop and said they wanted to buy a magic weapon refining cauldron.

The owner of the magic weapon shop is named Zhou Liangliang, nicknamed Sunse, and has the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building.

He saw that the people who came were wearing the robes of the Five Poison Sect, but they ran to the Red Refining Sect's market to buy a refining cauldron. It was obvious that they were three rookies who had just come out of the sect.

The cheapest refining cauldron would cost at least hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, which is not something that can be sold in this small market.

Since Zhou Liangliang's nickname is offensive, he is definitely not a good person.

After observing their expressions and confirming that they were three innocent youngsters, he told the shop assistant to leave and he would receive them personally.

He walked to the counter, and the man in front of him stood still and said seriously:

"My three fellow Taoists, the refining cauldron is very valuable. Even if it is as big as our store, we only treat it as the treasure of the store and do not show it to others easily. I wonder if you have the ability to buy it."

The oldest man replied, "How much?"

Zhou Liangliang held up three fingers: "Three hundred thousand."

The man asked, "Low-grade spirit stone?"

"Exactly."

"Bring the tripod here and let me see it. If you like it, I'll buy it."

Zhou Liangliang was delighted when he heard this, thinking that this man was indeed rich. He thought again:

"If you want to see the tripod, you need to verify your capital first. This is the rule set by the higher-ups, and no one can violate it."

The man summoned three thousand high-quality spirit stones from his Qiankun Ring and piled them on the counter, saying:

"These spirit stones are enough to buy it. Bring the tripod to me."

Zhou Liangliang was delighted to see that the man was defenseless and so generous.

He showed no surprise and pretended to shuffle a few spirit stones. He waited for an opportunity and while the man was looking away, he directly put all the spirit stones on the counter into his Qiankun bag.

Then he immediately turned around, took a small tripod from the wall cabinet behind him and placed it on the counter, and said with a smile:

"make a deal."

The man was naturally Chu Wen. Even though he was ignorant, he knew that this rusty little cauldron could not be a refining cauldron. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is worthy of being called a cult, it’s so damn evil.

Before Chu Wen could say anything, Xiao Hai couldn't help it. He pointed at the shopkeeper and said angrily.

"Master, he's lying!"

Chu Wen touched Xiao Hai's head and just looked at the profiteer behind the counter with a smile without saying a word.

Zhou Liangliang felt his hair run down his body when Chu Wen looked at him. He felt a little frightened for no reason, but then he remembered that this was his territory, so why should he be afraid? So he explained:

"Yes, this is indeed not a refining cauldron, but I said before that a refining cauldron costs three hundred thousand, and your three thousand spirit stones can only buy this cauldron."

Chu Wen laughed angrily: "I wonder how many low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for your three thousand high-grade spirit stones?"

Zhou Liangliang immediately replied: "Of course it's one for one."

Chu Wen found it funny for no reason and teased him, "Oh? Is this the rule in your place?"

Zhou Liangliang replied seriously: "My fellow Daoist, let me ask you, how many low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for zero high-grade spirit stones?"

Chu Wen knew that this question was definitely a trap, but he was very eager to learn, especially the ability to trick people, so he followed his words and said:

"0 is naturally replaced by 0."

"That's right."

Zhou Liangliang said, "Since it's zero for zero, the exchange rate is naturally one for one. Could it be that you can't figure it out?"

"..."

Chu Wen gained some knowledge today and learned a new trick.

He pretended to think about it, then made an expression of sudden enlightenment, then raised a thumb and said in a silly way:

"You are right, fellow Daoist. I was wrong. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I always feel like I don't know what's wrong with me."

After saying that, he put his hands on the shoulders of Xiu'er and Xiaohai, who looked angry, turned around and left with them, without even taking the small tripod.

Zhou Liangliang was so shocked by this behavior that he was stunned on the spot.

Whoever has been cheated by himself would not argue with reason, make a lot of noise, and even resort to physical violence.

Not only did this person not argue with me, he just turned around and left. What happened?

Three thousand high-grade spirit stones! This is not a small amount. How could that person just let it go?

Zhou Liangliang looked at the backs of the three people and felt uneasy. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

When Chu Wen walked out of the store, Zhou Liangliang finally couldn't help it.

He climbed over the counter and strode after Chu Wen who had already walked onto the street. He stopped in front of Chu Wen and asked:

"You're just leaving?"

Chu Wen smiled and said, "Why, do you want to keep me for dinner?"

"You don't want the spirit stone anymore?"

"No more."

Zhou Liangliang was surprised when he heard this: "Why?"

"Didn't you tell me that my spirit stones can only buy that small tripod? I don't like that tripod, so I'll give it to you."

"No, I can tell you're a smart person just by looking at your eyes. Tell me why you left like that."

Chu Wen thought to himself: Why? I want to rob you, why else, but he said:

"You're wrong. My mother has always said I was stupid since I was a child."

After Chu Wen finished speaking, he hugged Xiu'er, who was clenching her fists to hit someone, and Xiaohai, who had an angry face, and walked to the side.

Zhou Liangliang quickly stepped aside to stop the three people: "I have been doing business for hundreds of years. I can tell who is stupid and who is not at a glance. What exactly do you want to do, fellow Taoist?"

This kind of liar is rare. He wants to make the deception clear. Chu Wen saw that he didn't seem to be the kind of person who only cares about immediate interests, so he couldn't help but become interested.

Chu Wen just said, "I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll tell you why."

Zhou Xingxing immediately replied: "You say."

Seeing his expectant look, Chu Wen smiled and said, "Is there anything illegal that is not illegal?"

Zhou Xingxing thought for a moment and then answered:

"There are three possible scenarios for this: one, no one knows you broke the law; two, the law is changed immediately after you broke the law; three, the law was made by you, and you have the right to interpret it."

Chu Ben originally wanted to tease him, but after hearing his answer, he couldn't help but secretly applaud.

He carefully looked at the handsome young shopkeeper and couldn't help but feel a little bit of admiration for his talent.

Chu Wen thought for a moment and then asked, "If you are taking a shit and someone stabs you, will you finish taking a shit first or stand up and chase them away?"

Zhou Xingxing replied without hesitation: "First, it depends on where he stabbed, and secondly, it depends on who the other party is. But in either case, I will definitely finish the shit first."

"Oh? Why?"

Zhou Xingxing said seriously: "If I can't afford to offend him, chasing him will be a disaster. If he can't afford to offend me, then he must have something to rely on. If his strength is equal to mine, I'm already injured, and chasing him will be a death sentence. If he is stupid, chasing him will be useless, so it is unwise to get up and chase him."

The more Chu Wen listened, the happier he became.

What is talent?

That's fucking talent!

He has clear thinking, rigorous logic, and an understanding of human nature. He is smart in his cunning and insightful in his intelligence. He thinks twice before doing anything and can see through the fog to the essence.

Talent!

Rare talent.
