Chapter 9 Pei Su
Chapter 9 Pei Su
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
During this time, Ye Xuan'an remained safe and sound because he stayed at home.
However, according to Zhang Fu, many miners have recently died tragically at the hands of the Dark Gold Rat.
However, some powerful miners killed some Dark Gold Rats and even intended to sell their flesh and blood.
now.
At Ye Xuan'an's home.
"By the way, Brother Xuan'an, the flesh and blood of the Dark Gold Rat is a real delicacy, and it tastes exceptionally good. I'm planning to buy some to add to my meal. Would you like some? Would you like to come along and take a look?"
Zhang Fu asked with a smile.
"That's acceptable."
"By the way, do those cultivators, Brother Zhang, sell spiritual materials from the Dark Gold Rat? Also, have they found any Dark Gold produced by the Dark Gold Rat?"
Ye Xuan'an, having mastered the art of weapon crafting and array formation, was quite tempted by the spiritual materials and other items on the Dark Gold Rat.
"Dark gold? It's said they did find that stuff, but they either kept it or sold it along with the demon beast materials to the Zhao family managers who guarded the mine."
"After all, the Zhao family is skilled in weapon crafting and has a strong desire for such items, so they are willing to pay high prices to acquire them."
Zhang Fu explained.
"Is that so?"
Ye Xuan'an felt somewhat regretful.
"Brother Xuan'an, are you looking to obtain the spiritual materials or dark gold from the Dark Gold Rat?"
"If so, I can keep an eye out for you in the future."
Zhang Fu noticed the change in Ye Xuan'an's expression, but he didn't think much of it. He simply assumed that Ye Xuan'an wanted to use this opportunity to find someone to refine a magic weapon, so he smiled and said...
"That will be troublesome. By the way, if this matter can be accomplished, I am willing to offer a generous reward."
Ye Xuan'an was delighted upon hearing this.
After all, Zhang Fu has good connections and many channels. If he is willing to help, he might actually be able to help obtain some spiritual materials during the Dark Gold Rat's rampage.
Afterwards, he chatted briefly with Zhang Fu, and together they found the cultivators who sold the flesh and blood of the Dark Gold Rat and bought a few pounds of monster meat.
During this time, Zhang Fu also cleverly offered some ordinary wine to the cultivators and took the opportunity to ask them where they had killed the Dark Gold Rat.
This way, we can avoid those places.
But this matter is not really important.
In addition, he was very good at interpersonal relationships and already had a decent relationship with those cultivators.
Therefore, he quickly found out about those news.
According to those cultivators, most of the dark gold rats that appeared in Mine No. 5 were located in various branches in the east.
'It seems I'll have to stay away from those places from now on.'
Zhang Fu couldn't help but make a plan in his heart.
He then gave Ye Xuan'an some further instructions.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I know what I'm doing."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan'an smiled and expressed even greater admiration for Zhang Fu.
Although Zhang Fu's strength was average, he was exceptionally good at interpersonal relationships and gathering information.
Afterwards, they chatted for a few more minutes with the cultivators who were selling demon beast meat before saying goodbye and returning to their homes to cook the demon beast meat.
Although Ye Xuan'an's home was simple, it was fully furnished with furniture and kitchenware.
In addition, he is a good cook.
He quickly stir-fried a large pot of fragrant monster meat.
"Let's eat."
Ye Xuan'an took a sniff and couldn't help but swallow.
Immediately afterwards, he invited Kuiichi and Kuifang to have a big meal together.
And then the monster meat entered his mouth.
A rich spiritual energy spread into their bodies, nourishing their cultivation.
"That stuff is really good, and it tastes really good too."
"The only downside is that it's several times more expensive than things like the Gathering Yuan Pill. Even with my current wealth, I'm afraid I can't buy it often."
"However, if I have more money in the future, I can buy more."
Ye Xuan'an was quite looking forward to it.
Immediately afterwards, he and Kui Yi and the others began to meditate in seclusion.
……
This continued for several days afterward.
However, that night...
Zhang Fu brought good news. According to him, a miner had just killed a dark gold rat and even obtained a lot of dark gold.
In addition, since Zhang Fu was acquainted with him, he privately arranged to bring Ye Xuan'an to meet him and purchase dark gold and monster materials from him.
But the price has to be right.
"I wonder if you, Brother Xuan'an, still intend to buy such a thing? If so, you could come with me on this trip."
"By the way, you also know that cultivator who killed the Dark Gold Rat."
Zhang Fu said with a smile.
"I know them too? Who are they?"
"Furthermore, I still crave dark gold and magical beast materials, and for that reason, I am eager to meet that person."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan'an was overjoyed and quickly replied.
"That's good. As for who that person is, you'll know as soon as you see him."
Zhang Fu said mysteriously.
Immediately afterwards, he led Ye Xuan'an to a house in the residential area.
The owner of that house was a young cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, as cold and aloof as an iceberg.
"Fellow Daoist Pei Su?"
"I truly never expected that the cultivator who intentionally killed the Dark Gold Rat was you, fellow Daoist."
"Furthermore, fellow Daoist, you have entered the second level of Qi Refining so quickly; this is truly something to congratulate you on."
Ye Xuan'an was somewhat surprised when he saw the young cultivator.
The cultivator's name was Pei Su. He, along with Ye Xuan'an and Zhang Fu, were among the same group of cultivators who entered the mine.
Therefore, the two sides had some relationship.
However, because there was a shortage of people at the No. 4 main mine, Zhao assigned Pei Su there.
In addition, there is some distance between Mine No. 4 and Mine No. 5.
Moreover, Pei Su prefers to be alone.
Therefore, their relationship was not as good as that between Ye Xuan'an and Zhang Fu.
However, Ye Xuan'an had seen him once a few months ago in the canteen of the residential area.
At that time, his cultivation level was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and he was still a long way from the second level of Qi Refining.
Logically speaking, it should take at least several more years before it has a chance to make a breakthrough.
It would be impossible to reach this level of cultivation in such a short time.
"My breakthrough in cultivation was purely by chance."
"In addition, I need your help, fellow Daoist. If you are willing to agree, I can sell you the dark gold and demon beast materials I have at 70% of the market price after the matter is completed."
"However, fellow Daoist, you must not casually spread the matter of Dark Gold."
After speaking for a while, Pei Su took out the dark gold and dark gold rat spirit materials in his hand.
The contents included not only the fur of the Dark Gold Rat, but also a considerable amount of Dark Gold, including several kilograms of innate Dark Gold and several kilograms of low-grade first-rank Dark Gold, enough to refine several magical artifacts.
Furthermore, since dark gold is relatively rare, spreading this matter carelessly could easily lead to trouble.
Therefore, apart from informing Zhang Fu and Ye Xuan'an about this matter, he did not tell anyone else.
Secondly, he recently encountered some issues and needs help.
Ye Xuan'an was a reliable person, and he was also a rogue cultivator. In addition, his cultivation level was not particularly high, but it was still acceptable.
Upon closer examination, it would be more appropriate to ask for his help.
Therefore, he offered to sell the dark gold to Ye Xuan'an at a low price in exchange for Ye's help.
