Chapter 611: Chapter 419 Yin Yang Fusion Pill, Cultivation Skyrockets!
Chen Yuan gazed at the young beggar before him, chuckled lightly, and said indifferently,
“I was merely asking casually.”
The beggar didn’t dare to say much, even though he was a notable figure among the small community of beggars in Changshan Prefecture City, he definitely did not dare to offend those dressed in extraordinary attire.
Especially since he felt an inexplicable aura emanating from the young man across from him that made him, an experienced little beggar, involuntarily want to submit and prostrate himself, preventing him from underestimating the man.
They lived at the bottom of society, and their greatest skill was reading people and situations.
“Noble sir, would you like to pick a few pairs of straw sandals?”
Even though he knew that the other party was very likely just toying with him, he still didn’t dare show any displeasure.
“I’ll take all of these,” Chen Yuan responded.
“All of them?”
The surprise was clear on the young beggar’s face, followed immediately by joy. He started to pack up the straw sandals for Chen Yuan, thinking that by selling them, he would have the funds to join a Martial Arts Sect.
“However, I have one more condition. I quite like the jade pendant hanging from your neck. You must sell it to me along with these straw sandals. I’ll give you two taels of silver for the lot. How about that?” Chen Yuan said with a smile and a light tone, focusing on the jade pendant worn by the beggar named Shi Tou.
In his eyes, the jade pendant was releasing a stunning Qing light, signifying it as the object of opportunity indicated by the Qi Fortune Altar.
Upon hearing this, Shi Tou’s expression tightened immediately, and he grasped the jade pendant in his hand, watching Chen Yuan with wary eyes, swallowing his saliva, “This… This is the relic my mother left me with.”
“Not selling?”
Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Shi Tou.
If he truly refused to sell it, then he…
Feeling the aura emanating from the man before him, Shi Tou felt a palpitation and said in a heavy tone,
“This jade pendant is very important to me; it’s the keepsake my mother left me with before she passed away. I have survived all these years thanks to it.”
“So?”
“You’ll need to pay more!”
Chen Yuan: “…”
He hadn’t expected this little beggar to be quite so interesting, and he let out a chuckle, saying lightly,
“Then name your price.”
Anything that could be bought with money was no trouble for him.
Shi Tou took a deep breath, pondered for a moment without speaking, then slowly walked around the stall to stand directly in front of Chen Yuan, knelt down on both knees, presented the jade pendant, and said loudly,
“The words I just spoke were spontaneous and thoughtless. I hope the noble sir will excuse them. I am willing to offer this jade pendant to the noble sir and only ask that you take pity on me, accept me as your disciple, and teach me a move or two.”
Chen Yuan did not immediately take the jade pendant but frowned instead,
“You want to take me as your master?”
“In today’s world, martial prowess is paramount. Having grown up in Changshan, I am deeply aware of this principle: everything is inferior, only martial arts stand supreme. But with no chance of apprenticeship, I’ve wasted time until today. Meeting an enlightened master like you is my good fortune.”
“Have you studied?”
For a boy of barely ten years of age to articulate so well was certainly unusual.
“I eavesdropped on a scholar’s lessons a few years ago and picked up a little bit.”
Shi Tou said this with his head bowed and in a humble voice.
“What makes you so sure I am a martial arts expert?”
Since entering Changshan Prefecture City, to avoid trouble, Chen Yuan had thoroughly suppressed his cultivation. With this boy’s perceptiveness, there was no way he could see through him.
“The noble sir walks with the bearing of a dragon and the stride of a tiger, displaying extraordinary demeanor, so I dared to conclude that you possess cultivation,”
Shi Tou replied hurriedly.
But in reality, it was also a gamble on his part. Trades only work between equals. With his lack of strength, how could he be fit to deal with this man?
Furthermore, even if the man gave him some silver on the spot, who could say the man wouldn’t suddenly change his mind, have a few lackeys bury him, or have the other beggars who had noticed him steal his silver the next moment?
All these things were possible.
Having no standing to make a trade, he could only gamble on it.
Moreover, inside, he had a gut feeling that this handsome and extraordinary man before him was truly exceptional. Even if he lacked cultivation,
he was capable of obtaining Cultivation Techniques…
In a mere moment, Shi Tou had made up his mind, his determination no less extraordinary than others.
Chen Yuan, naturally noticing some of Shi Tou’s thoughts, stared at him. Suddenly, he moved, grabbing Shi Tou’s left shoulder and sending a stream of Gang Qi into his body.
“Noble sir…”
Shi Tou felt an excruciating pain, nearly bringing tears to his eyes, but he grit his teeth and refrained from crying out. With this move, he was finally certain that the man before him was the noble person he had been waiting for!
If he could get his approval, he would surely step onto the path of martial arts and become a great hero admired by thousands.
Withdrawing the Gang Qi, Chen Yuan looked at Shi Tou with some surprise. In his perception, the boy’s aptitude was quite exceptional, with naturally clear meridians.
In the Foundation Establishment Realm, not much was noticeable, but if one entered the Gang Condensation Realm, his cultivation would surely far surpass ordinary people. However, it was unknown whether he possessed any special physique.
Moreover, his body seemed frail, but in reality, it was sturdy, as if since childhood he had bathed in medicinal herbs. And then there was the jade pendant around his neck.
The origins of it were likely far from ordinary.
Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted, and he took the jade pendant from Shi Tou’s hand. It was a Yin Yang pendant, resembling a Tai Chi Diagram, with black and white swirling around each other. However, the craftsmanship was rudimentary, which was no wonder the beggar had kept it until now.
