"One price, twenty taels."
Sure enough, the skinny stall owner looked at Ye Chen with a pair of small eyes for a long while before finally bidding.
Obviously, in the eyes of the vendor, Ye Chen's cultivation wasn't very high. In addition, he didn't look like a rich man, so he didn't intend to make a big deal out of it.
"Twenty taels? Let's do it..."
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help flipping through the silver. He immediately took out 20 taels of silver and handed them to the vendor.
What a joke...
From Ye Chen's point of view, even if he gave it to someone else for free, there wouldn't be anyone who would want it.
If it weren't for this second-grade pill furnace, he wouldn't want it.
"So straightforward?"
Ye Chen's straightforward purchase of this pot of flowers caused the vendor to be stunned and his face immediately turned blank.
In his opinion, this pot of flowers was only worth two taels of silver at most...
But at this moment, this guy directly paid 20 taels of silver without thinking. Wasn't this too abnormal?
"... I guess he's another fool who wants to pick up the spoils."
After thinking about it for a long time and finding nothing strange about this pot of flowers, the vendor had no choice but to think to himself.
After all, in the market, many people wanted to pick up the goods and then make a fortune overnight. However, most people who thought they could pick up the goods actually bought second-hand goods or even some fake ones.
"This little brother is indeed straightforward. If you need any good treasures next time, you can come and pick one from me."
The vendor narrowed his eyes and smiled. He quickly took the silver in Ye Chen's hand and handed the pot of flowers to Ye Chen at the same time.
"Of course, of course."
After receiving the pill furnace, Ye Chen was delighted and immediately spoke.
This was a joke. The vendor thought that he had made a profit, but in fact, for Ye Chen, it was a huge profit!
"Stop... Let me see what's in your hand!"
Just as Ye Chen was about to put the pot of flowers into his storage pouch and leave, a wave of Lv 4 Martial Soul Realm cultivation swept out and locked onto Ye Chen. Then, a rather excited voice rang out.
Then, a sixty-year-old man appeared in front of Ye Chen in a flash.
"Eh?"
The moment the old man arrived in front of Ye Chen, he could sense that there seemed to be a faint aura of a pill on the old man's body.
"I'm sure he's also an alchemist. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to recognize this pill furnace."
Ye Chen immediately understood.
"Old fellow, this thing was bought by me. If you want it, there are still plenty of stalls. I don't think you need me to buy it for you, right?"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen sneered and said rudely.
"What?"
The old man was stunned when he heard Ye Chen's words.
In the elder's eyes, with the pressure of Lv 4 Martial Soul Realm, the boy in front of him must have been scared out of his wits!
However, he couldn't believe that the boy in front of him was still the same as before.
"Brat, I'll repeat myself again. Give me the flower pot in your hand, or else... you should know the consequences!"
After taking a deep breath and calming down the anger in his chest, the old man's tone was extremely tough as he stared at Ye Chen and said coldly.
"Old man, if I don't give it to you? What... do you want to steal it in front of so many people?"
Ye Chen coldly laughed when he heard this. He glanced indifferently at the old man in front of him and spoke in an indifferent manner.
"Little bastard, do you know who I am? I am Lin Tianshui, the First Elder of the Lin Family! If you offend me, I'm sure you'll know your fate!"
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Lin Tianshui's face immediately turned ashen as he spoke in a cold voice.
In Lin Tianshui's view, once his identity as the First Elder of the Lin Family was revealed, the boy in front of him would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy and give him the pill furnace in his hand!
"The First Elder of the Lin Family?"
Ye Chen was stunned when he heard that.
Wasn't this the Lin Family that had forced him to marry into the Lin Family and even wanted to devour his cultivation?
What a coincidence!
"Sorry, I... can give you this pot of flowers. But you, you can't!"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen glanced at Lin Tianshui with a teasing smile.
"Little bastard, just you wait!"
After saying this, Lin Tianshui glared venomously at Ye Chen and then left.
"Hiss... this kid is truly arrogant. He actually dared to offend the Lin Family's Great Elder!"
"That's right. The First Elder of the Lins is an expert at the Lv 4 Martial Soul Realm. I'm afraid he won't even know how he died!"
...
At this moment, the onlookers all looked at Ye Chen and took pleasure in his misfortune.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Chen dared to offend the Great Elder of the Lin family, who was at the fourth level of the Martial Soul Realm. He was obviously courting his own death!
"Tsk tsk...the first elder of the Lin Family must have a lot of pills on him."
Ye Chen smiled when he heard the discussions of the crowd. Then, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
Immediately after, Ye Chen put away the pill furnace in his hand and walked toward an alley not far away.
...
"Old man, there's no need to hide. Since you want my pill furnace, show me some sincerity."
After entering the alley, Ye Chen looked around and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Little bastard, what are you planning to do by luring the old me here?"
At the end of the alley, Lin Tianshui walked out warily and looked at Ye Chen.
One must know that in Lin Tianshui's heart, he had originally wanted to follow Ye Chen. When Ye Chen reached a place where no one else was around, he would take action to snatch the treasure.
However, what puzzled him the most was that Ye Chen had not only turned into this deserted alley, but had also seemed to have predicted that he would make a move.
"Could it be that... this brat still has some tricks up his sleeve?"
Thinking of this, Lin Tianshui suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly ran his spiritual power and began to explore the alley.
"Old man, there's no need to investigate. Don't you want the pill furnace in my hand? I'll come to this alley and give you a chance to make a move."
Seeing the nervous expression on Lin Tianshui's face, Ye Chen smiled contemptuously. Then, he had a playful expression on his face.
"Little bastard, you are so arrogant that you dare to provoke me!"
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Tianshui's killing intent soared. His eyes turned cold as he spoke in an icy tone.
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianshui ran the strength of Lv 4 Martial Soul Realm in his body.
Immediately, a monstrous wave-like aura erupted and locked onto Ye Chen, who was a short distance away.
Thundercloud Movement!
Then, like a ghost, Lin Tianshui's footwork kept changing. In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away from Ye Chen.
