Jiang Chaoge has always been a person with strong self-discipline and great perseverance. He believes that one thing must be insisted on to the end, otherwise nothing will be accomplished.However, his path of cultivation was accompanied by many obstacles...

"I want to go out." Zhi Xuan slapped Jiang Chao Ge's thigh.

Jiang Chaoge opened his eyes, and those golden pupils stared at him without blinking, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, I want to go out and play."

"I'm practicing."

"No, I want to go out." Zhixuan's little paws grabbed his collar, trying to drag him out of the bed, "Take me to buy wine and food, and if you let me eat steamed buns, I'll bite you to death."

Jiang Chaoge propped his chin, playing with his long soft hair, "Can't you not eat or drink?"

"I want to eat and drink."

Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath, and silently recited the word that he had to recite many times a day: Endure!He pressed Zhixuan's slender shoulders, "Ancestor, let's make an agreement first, you can go out, but you can't take what you see."

Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes, "Why?"

"Because I have no money."

"Those foolish people should bring their food to me, or I'll eat them all!"

Jiang Chao Ge pinched his face, "Who are you eating, who are you eating, you are only this big now."

Zhixuan stretched out his hand to slap him, but his arms were not long enough, and he was so angry that he kicked his legs wildly.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you wine and delicious food, but it's agreed that you can't take things indiscriminately, so I'll take you out now, okay?"

Zhi Xuan gritted his teeth and gave him a ferocious expression, but with that round face, it was really a little funny.

Jiang Chaoge changed his clothes, carried Zhixuan and went out.

It has been five days since he came to Juan City. He has spent all his time on cultivation these days. He almost ate up the dozens of copper coins he earned last time. Meng Sheng started to take them to eat again. Steamed bun.He felt that it was time to find a way to earn some money, otherwise he would not even be able to support his ancestor.

Zhixuan likes to go out to play very much, Jiang Chaoge can understand it, if he has been asleep for many years, the whole world has changed when he wakes up, and he will see everything new.

"Here, give me this." Zhi Xuan patted Jiang Chao Ge's arm, pointed at a sugar pill figure and shouted.

Jiang Chaoge saw that the little candy was only worth a copper coin, so he bought one for him.

Zhixuan took it and licked it twice, "Bah, it's unpalatable." As he said that, he was about to throw it away.

"Give it to me, don't waste it." Jiang Chaoge took a bite, it was so sweet that he could die, but he still ate it considering how poor they were.

"That." Zhi Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed again.

Jiang Chaoge saw that it was a fur hat, which seemed expensive, "I can't afford it."

Zhi Xuan grabbed his ear and said angrily, "Make money, you trash."

"Sold you?"

"you dare!"

Because the two of them were quite loud, everyone around them looked sideways, and there was a lot of discussion, "This kid is really spoiled, he is really rebellious."

"That's right, it's a pity that he is so good-looking, yet he calls his father 'trash' at such a young age..."

Just as Zhi Xuan was about to explode, Jiang Chao Ge quickly covered his mouth, and said with a sneer: "The child's mother died early, I was spoiled." After speaking, he hugged Zhi Xuan and hurried away.

After Zhi Xuan pushed his hand away, he shouted loudly: "I want to eat..."

"Okay, who are you eating, you can't finish an apple."

Zhixuan's eyes were burning with flames, he gritted his teeth and said: "When I recover my real body..."

"You're going to eat me first, I know."

Zhi Xuan stared at him for a long time, opened his mouth and bit his neck.

Jiang Chao Ge is used to him going crazy at any time, this little beast has really strong self-esteem.

Zhi Xuan took a hard bite to vent his anger, and then let go of his mouth. When Jiang Chaoge touched his neck, it was bleeding, and it was still stained with the little beast's saliva.

Zhi Xuan snorted without any guilt, "Buy me wine."

Just as Jiang Chaoge was about to speak, suddenly, a familiar voice behind him called out "Big Brother".He turned his head to look, and it turned out to be the peddler who he helped sell bead flowers a few days ago.

The peddler ran over with a look of surprise, "Brother, I have been looking for you for several days."

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me? How is the business these few days?"

The peddler smiled and said, "I've been selling things like you, and I've earned more in the past few days than in the past few months. Brother, you are really my nobleman. By the way, brother, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Sun An."

"My name is Jiang Chaoge."

"Big Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Hey, do you want to earn more?"

Sun An nodded like pounding garlic.

"Come on, treat me to dinner, let's talk."

The three of them walked into a restaurant, and Sun An praised rather blindly: "Brother, is this your son? I have never seen such a beautiful child since I grew up."

Jiang Chao Ge covered Zhi Xuan's mouth, and said in a low voice, "If you want to drink, don't talk."

Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes at him, and he became quiet as expected, sitting on Jiang Chaoge's lap, playing with his chopsticks.

Sun An beamed and talked about how he had been selling things these days, and he felt embarrassed at first, but after letting go, he felt that his whole person was different.

Jiang Chaoge also noticed that his sad face became much more pleasing to the eye in just a few days.

It seems that Sun An really made a little money. He ordered a table of dishes and two jugs of wine.

Jiang Chao Ge poured a small cup of wine and handed it to Zhi Xuan.

Sun An was surprised: "Brother, why did you give him a drink?"

"It's okay, I've been drinking since I was a child."

Zhixuan took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, which shocked both of them.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhixuan's little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stuck out his tongue, showing his first smile in so many days.

Although Jiang Chaoge hated this brat, he had to admit that this brat was so good-looking, he wondered if it was a strange beast that turned into a human, and he would look so extraordinary, when he smiled, he had the illusion that a hundred flowers were blooming.

Zhixuan threw the wine cup towards his face.

Jiang Chaoge poured him another glass of wine, and later simply gave him the whole jug.

Sun An was surprised, "Brother..."

"Don't worry about him, let's talk business."

"Oh, you said."

"What did you sell in the morning market you mentioned last time?"

"There is everything. The biggest morning market is held every seven days. The whole street runs through the east and west of Juan City. You can't finish shopping in half a day."

"Oh? When is the next morning market? Take me to see it."

"Coincidentally, it's tomorrow."

"Okay, let's meet at this restaurant early tomorrow morning, and I'll see what's good. You pay for it, and I'll give you an idea. I promise you won't regret it."

Sun An said briskly, "Brother, I believe in you!"

Zhixuan took a few sips from the jug, Jiang Chaoge couldn't stand it any longer, "Don't you want to eat?"

Zhi Xuan turned a deaf ear to it.

"Is this wine that good?"

Zhi Xuan gave him a white look, "Don't you only sell this kind, I can barely drink it." After finishing speaking, he burped.

Jiang Chaoge unceremoniously ate a full meal, and took away the leftovers. He hugged Zhixuan who was drowsy in one hand, and walked home with the food in the other.

As soon as he entered, Meng Sheng ran over in a panic, "Where have you been?"

"Go out for a meal, here, I brought it back for you."

Meng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't run around if you have nothing to do in the future. This place is only [-] miles away from Tian'ao City, and it is the largest port city in the central region. Prince Shu is likely to chase here."

Jiang Chaoge shrugged, "It's the little ancestor who insisted on going out to play."

"Did you give him a drink?"

"He wanted it himself..." Before Jiang Chaoge could finish his sentence, Zhixuan's stomach shrank suddenly, and he spat all over him with a loud crash.

Jiang Chaoge's face turned blue and white, this was the only suit he had that fit him.

Zhi Xuan hugged his neck, looked at him drunkenly, "Water, I want to drink water."

Jiang Chaoge carried him to the water room, and as soon as he entered the room, he stripped him clean and put him in the bathtub, intending to wash him.

Zhixuan splashed the water and wanted to stand up: "Foolish people, you are not allowed to touch me!"

Jiang Chaoge pushed him back into the bathtub, "You are so dirty that you vomited on your hair, do you want to sleep like this?"

Zhi Xuan stared at him for a while, "Just this time."

Jiang Chaoge poured water on his head and body with a ladle, the water was icy cold, fortunately Zhixuan was not afraid of heat and cold.

Zhixuan sat in the tub, half-closed his eyes, drowsy, "Fool, wash my hair and use that scented thing..."

Jiang Chaoge looked at him naked, dangling like a fat tumbler, couldn't help but want to laugh.He carefully washed Zhixuan's body and hair, and stroked the soft tender flesh with his fingers, he couldn't help feeling in his heart, if he had a child, wouldn't it be so small and soft?It's a pity that he has long planned not to have a son and a half daughter in his life. How could he be a good parent who was abandoned since childhood.

After washing and washing, Zhixuan fell asleep in the bathtub, her long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on the eye sockets, her nostrils fluttered gently, and her breathing was soft and even.

After wiping Zhi Xuan clean and putting him on the bed, he also took a shower, and then cleaned up both of their clothes.

Zhixuan's body was still as hot as a small stove, Jiang Chaoge hugged and covered it for a while, his body quickly warmed up, and he gradually fell into a dream.

The next morning, Jiang Chaoge greeted Meng Sheng, and took Zhixuan to find Sun An. After meeting Sun An, they walked towards the Morning Market Street.

Zhixuan had a good night's sleep, and his energy was extremely good. When he walked to the morning market street, he saw the dazzling array of shops and small stalls on both sides of the five-mile long street. Which one to point to first.

Jiang Chaoge sighed, "It's really lively."

Sun An smiled and said, "Brother, you can find everything you can think of here."

"Are there many Horcruxes here too?"

"Of course, but we can't buy Horcruxes, there are many fake ones."

Jiang Chaoge passed a big shop that sold animal bones and skins. There were many people choosing things, but most of them were looking at the scattered and shapeless bones. Jiang Chaoge asked: "They What are you picking?"

Sun Anqi said: "Brother, where did you come from? You don't even know this?"

Jiang Chaoge became alert for a moment, "My hometown is in a small fishing village in the south, and I have never been to a big city."

"Is that so, elder brother doesn't seem like he has never seen the world."

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I really haven't seen it before."

Sun An didn't doubt him, and explained enthusiastically: "This shop is a famous animal bone shop in our city of Juan. It specializes in selling raw materials for making Horcruxes. In fact, it's not only bones, but also fur, skin, tendons, etc. Anyway, there are a lot of good things, but they are all very expensive. Those scattered and shapeless things are the materials collected by the boss from various places. Many bosses don’t know what they are. People often come to these places to search for treasures. Pick out good materials from a pile of messy things, and post them right away. I remember that last year, a half-baked Horcrux master bought a bearded leg bone from this shop for thirty copper coins. , made an earth-level soul weapon, and sold it for [-] silver coins at the auction, enough to spend several years."

Jiang Chaoge was quite moved when he heard it.He remembered that Meng Sheng had talked to him about these Taobao people. To do this kind of business, it is not enough to have soul power, but also to have knowledge, and you must not confuse the bones of ghosts with the bones of poultry.And even if you can identify what kind of animal bone it is, there is a great risk in buying it, because a beast soul can only be sealed by one kind of Horcrux, that is to say, if someone has made a Horcrux from the leg bone of a beast , then it is impossible for other people to use other parts of the beast to make Horcruxes, so the beast bones and beast souls that were bought with money may have already been occupied. In fact, this is gambling, just like gambling with stones. No one knows whether the thing bought with money is precious jade or stone.But there are still many people who rely on this for a living. After all, most people can't afford to sell a complete body of a spirit monster. Just like the Horcrux Master Sun An said, it is enough to bet right once.

Sun An tugged at him, "Brother, let's go, I'll show you around more, what do you think we can start a small business?"

Jiang Chao Ge followed Sun An to stroll around the morning market, Zhi Xuan started to ask for this and that again, after being blocked by Jiang Chao Ge, he turned his head and sulked.

The two of them wandered tirelessly all morning and looked at the whole street. In the end, Jiang Chaoge became interested in something called Nether Grass.

This is a kind of wild grass that can be seen everywhere on the mountain. It is cheap, but it is an important material for making Horcruxes. There are many kinds of plants, spars, insects, etc. Nether Grass is the cheapest and common one among them. Although other things can be used instead, they are expensive and have similar functions, so Nether Grass is the most common one among all souls. The toolmaker's first choice.However, the Nethergrass used to make Horcruxes cannot be fresh, and must be exposed to the scorching sun and moonlight for 49 days before it can be used as an introduction.Due to the low cost, there are vendors selling Nether Grass everywhere. This kind of small thing has never attracted attention, but Jiang Chaoge saw business opportunities here.

He grabbed a handful of dried Nether Grass and asked Sun An: "Tell me, how many people sell Nether Grass in Ju'an City?"

"There are too many of them. You can find them everywhere on this grassy mountain, and you can sell them for money when they are dried. Most people don't want to go up the mountain to pick them. It's too far away. Only those with special difficulties will make a living by selling Nethergrass."

"How much would it cost to buy all these Nether Grass in the morning market?"

Sun An was taken aback, "Brother, why are you buying so much?"

"you answer me first."

Sun An scratched his hair, "I don't know, such a bundle is only five copper coins, and a stall can have almost a hundred bundles? Five silver coins can buy them all."

"Let's go from the beginning to the end, are there fifty stalls selling Nether Grass?"

"have it."

"Then as long as you have two or three hundred silver coins, you can buy all the Nether Grass in the morning market, right?"

Sun An's eyes widened, "Brother, I understand what you want to do, but where can we get two or three hundred silver coins? I've never seen that much money in my life."

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I've been shopping around, and this is the smallest thing on the plate. It doesn't cost a single gold coin to buy all the Nethergrass plates in Juan City. This is an excellent opportunity, Sun An."

Sun An nodded, then shook his head again, "But, brother..."

"Let me find a way. Before the next morning market comes, you can help me inquire about all the stalls selling ghost grass in Juan City. If you trust me, follow me. I promise you will earn enough for half your life." Expenses."

Sun An gritted his teeth, "Brother, I believe you."

Jiang Chaoge patted his face, "Good job, don't tell others, if you want to find me, you can come to the sixth house in Xiezi Lane, west of the city."

After asking for some money from Sun An, the two separated. Jiang Chaoge weighed the purse, "Little ancestor, don't be angry, what do you want to buy?"

Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes, "What can you, a poor man, afford?"

"The food is still affordable."

Zhi Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed, "That grilled sausage looks good."

Jiang Chaoge immediately went to buy one for him.

Zhixuan's brows stretched, and he walked around the stalls while eating.When passing by a bone shop, he wrinkled his nose, "The smell of raccoons."

"what?"

"Run Li, it looks like a pig and has chicken paws. I have eaten it and it tastes good." Zhixuan took a bite of the grilled sausage, recalling the delicious food he had eaten before.

"where is it?"

Zhi Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed into the shapeless pile of bones.

Jiang Chaoge hugged him and walked over, "Which one? Be more specific?"

Zhi Xuan stared at him, "Why? There are only bones left."

"You can still smell the bones?"

"of course."

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "Master Zhixuan, tell me which is the bone of Lili, how about I buy you a jug of good wine?"

Zhixuan's eyes lit up, "You put me down, I'll smell it."

Jiang Chaoge put him on the stall, Zhixuan walked back and forth, and picked out a half-meter-long bone from it, "This."

Jiang Chaoge's eyes sparkled, "Boss, how much is this?"

The boss touched his chin, "This is not a small bone, fifty copper coins."

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "No matter how big the bone is, it can only be used as a broom. The key is to see if it is a good animal material. Twenty copper coins, I'll take a gamble."

"Thirty, no bargaining."

"Only twenty." Jiang Chaoge looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, okay, take it."

Jiang Chaoge gave all the money in his pocket to the boss, took the bones and left.

Zhixuan yelled: "Wine, buy me wine."

Jiang Chaoge touched his pocket, "Oh, I'm out of money, can I buy it for you another day?"

Zhixuan's eyes were burning, and he grabbed his hair and shouted: "You dare to lie to me, I will eat you—"
