Prodigal Son
This Flame Spirit Stone was not considered a top-grade spirit stone in the cultivation world, but it was tremendously useful, and almost every cultivator needed one.
Because it could be used to make a Universal Storage Ring.
A Universal Storage Ring was a must-have for cultivators like them. It was convenient to carry around, and it could store many things inside, making it a highly favored personal item among cultivators.
In his past life, Hao Yi naturally had one too. He had not expected to see such a spiritual treasure in this time and space as well, which came as a surprise.
Soon, his mind searched out information about that stone. It turned out that the owner of this body had been cheated by a friend and spent a large sum to buy it.
What he had originally meant to buy was a piece of top-grade uncarved jade, and when he paid for it, he had also seen the jade placed into the box. Who would have known that when he got home and opened it, it had turned into a dull gray stone.
Of course, in the original Hao Yi’s eyes, it was just a worthless rock.
Hao Yi picked up the stone and put it into his coat pocket. When Ding Xuan saw him put a stone in his pocket, he could not help asking curiously, “Young Master, why are you putting a stone in your pocket?”
“Good stuff,” Hao Yi replied briefly.
Ding Xuan looked at Hao Yi’s pocket and thought about it. That made sense too. Could the things Young Master bought be ordinary?
After they had sorted through almost everything, Hao Yi said to Ding Xuan, “Did you apply the medicated oil?”
Ding Xuan nodded, then shook his head again. “I have not gotten around to the left foot yet.”
Hao Yi crouched down in front of Ding Xuan, took out the medicated oil, and applied it to Ding Xuan’s left foot. Ding Xuan was overwhelmed by the attention. He wanted to refuse, but when he heard Hao Yi say, ‘Don’t move,’ he stayed still.
Hao Yi had never taken care of anyone before. The reason he cared so much about Ding Xuan’s knee was that he knew how painful it was. An ordinary person would have a hard time bearing it, yet Ding Xuan could endure the pain and still study as usual, still serve this young master as usual. Hao Yi simply felt pity for him.
Looking at Hao Yi’s focused face, Ding Xuan’s gaze fell on Hao Yi’s injured lip corner, and only then did he remember that this morning Young Master had been struck by that Young Master Gu Liu.
Thinking of how Hao Yi’s temperament had changed drastically, a ridiculous thought suddenly rose in Ding Xuan’s mind.
Could it be that Young Master had been hit stupid, and then turned into a different person?
Ding Xuan was defeated by his own idea and knew that was impossible.
After that, he no longer dwelled on it. He only hoped that the improved Young Master would keep it up.
Just as Hao Yi was applying medicine for Ding Xuan, a voice interrupted them. “Hello, are you selling these things?”
That voice successfully drew Hao Yi and Ding Xuan’s attention. Hao Yi merely glanced at the man indifferently and showed no reaction, while Ding Xuan stood up very warmly and said with a nod, “Yes. May I ask which item this gentleman has his eye on?”
Hearing Ding Xuan’s voice, Hao Yi finally came back to himself and remembered that he was here to do business.
So he motioned for Ding Xuan to sit down, then stood in front of the combination-lock case and asked the customer, “Which one do you want?”
The items in his combination-lock case were all sorts of strange and curious odds and ends. To the people here, they were extremely precious, but in Hao Yi’s eyes, none of them could compare to the Flame Spirit Stone in his pocket.
“How much for this bracelet?” the man asked, pointing at a bracelet in a vermilion box.
Hao Yi looked at the bracelet and immediately recalled how much money had been spent to buy it. It had actually cost three hundred thousand. What a spendthrift!
He was about to name a price when Ding Xuan cut in first, “Five thousand…”
Hao Yi: “…”
