Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Xu Zii had not yet opened his mouth when Chu Cizhao beside him had already started yelling.
"Are you crazy? For such a worthless box of unknown origins, you actually want the heart of a Blood Lizard.
What a rip-off, this truly is a black shop."
The middle-aged man did not pay attention to the others, and after speaking, he fell silent again.
"What is the heart of a Blood Lizard?" Xu Zii asked, sowhat puzzled.
Although he had so understanding of this world, his knowledge was still very superficial, and many things were unclear to him.
"The heart of a Blood Lizard, it’s, it’s, it’s just the heart of a creature, that’s all," Chu Cizhao replied with an increasingly weak tone.
"How is your answer any different from not saying anything at all?" Xu Zii said indifferently.
"Think about it, we’re both in the sa boat. How could I possibly know sothing that you don’t know," Chu Cizhao said with an embarrassed smile.
"So you don’t know what a Blood Lizard is either. Then why did you react so strongly just now?" Xu Zii said, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Well, wasn’t that just to add to the atmosphere?" Chu Cizhao chuckled.
Xu Zii looked at Jiang Changsheng, only to see Jiang Changsheng also shaking his head slightly.
He said, "I have heard of that na, but don’t know much about it."
"In the Misty Forest of the Southern Domain, there is a swampy area.
The Lizard clan has lived there generation after generation, and the Blood Lizard is one of the special lizards among them," the woman nad Chu Shanhe suddenly spoke up.
"Special lizard?" Xu Zii asked, still puzzled.
"Let first tell you just how difficult it is to obtain the heart of a Blood Lizard," said Chu Shanhe with a cold voice.
"The Misty Forest is known as a dangerous territory in the Southern Domain, and the swamp lands are even part of the Forbidden Land.
On that land, aside from the Lizard clan, no other creatures can survive.
The Lizard clan consists of four major races: Green Lizard, Blue Lizard, Red Lizard, and Yellow Lizard."
"What does that have to do with the Blood Lizard?" Chu Cizhao also asked with so curiosity.
"The Blood Lizard is not one individual creature, to be precise, it is made from the fusion of several lizards," Chu Shanhe explained.
"Because this Fusion thod is exceedingly rare and precious, the Blood Lizard can now be considered virtually extinct.
Each Blood Lizard requires a great deal of effort to create, and their hearts have infinite wonder."
"How do you know all this so clearly?" Xu Zii inquired.
"Could it be that you have a way to obtain it?"
"I, too, once spent so ti wanting to obtain a Blood Lizard.
After fully understanding what it entailed, I gave up on the idea," Chu Shanhe revealed.
"If you really want to obtain this Fusion thod, there might be a way."
"What do you an?" Xu Zii pressed.
"The Realm Emperor of the Holy Sect, it is said that he obtained this thod in his youth. Whether it still exists now I’m not sure," Chu Shanhe said.
"Besides, even if they still have it, they wouldn’t just give it to you lightly."
"You wouldn’t be telling all this if you didn’t have sothing up your sleeve!" Xu Zii asked with a half-smile.
"Indeed," Chu Shanhe replied candidly, "If you obtain this thod, I would like to have a Blood Lizard as well, and at that ti, we can make an exchange of equal value."
As everyone was speaking, a person suddenly hurried into the room.
This was a young man, clad in dark armor, covered in blood, with several parts of his armor damaged.
"Shopkeeper, my task is done, give my contribution points."
Without another word, the young man threw a bundle onto the counter.
When the bundle was opened, inside was a red blood gallbladder.
The blood gallbladder was still fresh, covered with dense, purple stripes.
The middle-aged man picked up the blood gallbladder and examined it before waving his right hand and handing a Golden Token to the young man.
"My contribution points are sufficient, I wish to exchange for the Northern Border Icy Cold," the youth said, taking the Golden Token from the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was also very quick to act, taking the Golden Token and then swiping his right hand across it.
In the shop’s central pillar, with a "boom," a section of it completely shattered.
An transparent box fell out, and Xu Zii could clearly see that it contained a chunk of ice.
The armored youth excitedly took the box, thanked the middle-aged man, and then prepared to leave with it.
Just then, as the youth was about to step out of the shop, a group of people blocked his way.
This group, judging from their attire, seed mostly to be servants, except for the young man leading them.
Dressed in splendid robes of fine silk, he had a rather pot-bellied appearance.
The young man held a fan in his hand, striding over arrogantly and imperiously.
He addressed the armored youth, "Xu Ya, hand over the Northern Border Icy Cold, and this young master might spare you."
Seeing this group, the youth called Xu Ya’s expression visibly changed.
He said coldly, "Zhang Zehao, don’t go too far.
This piece of Northern Border Icy Cold is sothing I earned from tasks over more than a year, to heal my mother’s wounds."
The young master, Zhang Zehao, holding the white fan, laughed loudly and said unrestrainedly, "Go and inquire around in Huohuang City.
You should know that when I, Zhang Zehao, say sothing, it’s final, and no one dares to disobey my orders."
"That’s only because you’re living off the prestige of your father being the City Lord," retorted Xu Ya with a cold snort.
"Cut the nonsense. Attack," Zhang Zehao commanded with a sweeping gesture, and the crowd of servants rushed forward.
...…
"It seems the cities under the managent of the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect are also sub-par," Chu Shanhe remarked on the side.
"The Nine Heavens Imperial Sect themselves are constantly in internal strife, let alone these cities under their control," Chu Cizhao comnted gleefully on the side.
"Elder brother, should I intervene?" asked Jiang Changsheng, looking at Xu Zii.
"As you wish, I don’t mind," replied Xu Zii, his tone indifferent.
He glanced around the shop, and while he couldn’t obtain the wooden box at the mont, other items in the shop also caught his attention because of their rarity.
Eventually, Xu Zii noticed a curved bow among them.
The bow, over a ter long, was entirely jet black, with gilded bowstrings that looked like they were made from the tendons of so creature.
Beneath the curved bow, just three words were written, "Heavenly Demon Bow."
There was only the bow, without any arrows to be seen.
The group outside had already started fighting, and although Xu Ya had extensive combat experience, in the end, one man’s strength was no match for a group.
In a few monts, he was beaten to the ground, with punches and kicks falling on him like rain.
Zhang Zehao took the box containing the Northern Border Icy Cold and said coldly, "Xu Ya, this young master is sparing your life.
Think it over carefully, if your sister is willing to marry , everything is negotiable.
Don’t force this young master to take matters into my own hands."
Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Changsheng stepped forward and asked with a frown, "Who are you people?
Daring to behave so wildly and recklessly in Huohuang City."
