Chapter 9 Green plum?
But here's the problem: he needs a wood-attribute fighting spirit technique, and in the entire Xiao family, as far as he knows, the highest grade is definitely no more than the mid-level Yellow Rank.
Even in the entire Jia Ma Empire, probably only a few forces such as the Mu family in the capital possess it, but the highest level is only Dou Wang, and it would be good if they could have Xuan-level cultivation techniques.
As for advancing to the Earth Rank or Heaven Rank... I have absolutely no clue.
This is tricky. Are we supposed to wait until he adds attributes to his martial soul before looking for a secondary attribute cultivation technique?
Abandoning the main attribute is not a solution either.
Should we wait for Yao Lao? Or Gu Xun'er?
Xiao Yan could only think of those two potential contacts around him, but neither of them were easy to approach, at least not in the next few years.
Gu Xun'er, being close in age, should provide her with topics to discuss and improve her favorability, but it's hard to say about Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan's brows furrowed tightly, but quickly relaxed again.
"Forget it, things will work themselves out. With more money saved up, what can't we buy?"
"Besides, thinking about it too much is useless."
"It's a pity that the development of Douluo Continent is too one-sided, making it difficult to sell many things at high prices."
Xiao Yan murmured in thought, then stood up.
Then my stomach started making a "gurgling" sound.
His already weak body went even further, and a feeling of dry mouth and utter exhaustion washed over him in an instant.
"By the way, I haven't eaten for almost a day and a night. At my age and in my body, I can't take this kind of torment."
Xiao Yan rubbed his stomach, closed the book. Knowledge was valuable, but filling his stomach was the most important thing right now.
He wasn't very good at cooking, or rather, his cooking wasn't very good. However, when he was with the Xiao family, given his status, he was usually provided with meals.
But then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed two little white rabbits in the corner, and his appetite instantly took over.
Memories of various rabbit delicacies flooded his mind. Without much hesitation, he reached out and grabbed a rabbit with terrified eyes. It was as thick as his forearm. He smiled.
"Extra meal!"
After saying that, he quickly went out, carrying the plump rabbit, and walked familiarly towards the Xiao family's canteen.
It was past the usual mealtime.
There weren't many people in the canteen; a few family members who had also missed their appointed time or were delayed by cultivation were sitting scattered around.
Most of them were dressed plainly, and the food in front of them was ordinary. When Xiao Yan walked in carrying a rabbit that looked plump, with shiny fur and a pinkish-white color, it was a different story.
Several pairs of eyes were instantly drawn to it.
There was undisguised envy in his eyes.
"It's so cute, it must taste delicious!"
"It's so big, it must eat a lot, right?"
"I really want to eat it..." 7.
It's possible that if someone carries this kind of food outside of mealtimes, it means they either have plenty of money or their family is well-off.
Although the Xiao family is not considered a top-tier wealthy family, there are still distinctions of kinship and resources within the clan.
In the eyes of most ordinary young men, someone like Xiao Yan, who could casually produce such plump wild game, was a rare find.
That's already a sign of "ability".
Several older boys glanced over, their gazes finally settling on the rabbit. They swallowed hard but didn't say anything more.
They all understand the rules; it's one thing to admire them, but that's their skill.
Xiao Yan was already used to this, and went straight to the small kitchen area in the backyard where ingredients were prepared, intending to hand over the soft-boned rabbit to a familiar cook for him to cook.
Just as he was deciding whether to braise or grill, he suddenly felt a different kind of gaze fall on him.
This gaze was gentler than the previous ones, which were filled with simple envy, curiosity, and even a hint of pity.
Xiao Yan turned his head without thinking.
A little girl dressed in a light blue dress was standing not far away, looking at him. Although she was young, her features were already incredibly delicate, her skin was as white as jade, and she had a quiet temperament that was out of place in this large dining hall.
There's a misconception of forcibly adapting to the norm.
Her clear eyes were fixed intently on the rabbit in his hand.
Seeing Xiao Yan looking over, the girl pursed her lips slightly, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then took small steps closer.
Her voice was soft and gentle, with a childlike sweetness, yet strangely possessed a natural politeness and distance:
"Can I have your rabbit?"
Gu Xun'er... the moment that quiet temperament appeared.
The name and the corresponding figure immediately popped into Xiao Yan's mind, giving off a feeling of being out of place with the surrounding environment yet forcibly adapting.
It's probably only that young lady from the ancient clan.
Is he really that kind now?
Rabbits are so cute, why would you want to keep them as pets instead of eating them?
Her face wasn't sickly pale, indicating that she hadn't started formally cultivating Dou Qi and hadn't experienced the agony of being burned alive. Xiao Yan hadn't started either, making this one of the rare flaws of the famous Yan Emperor.
It's okay to be friends.
But filling your stomach is the most important thing first.
As Xiao Yan handed over the rabbit, he said...
"I have another one at home, if you want it, I'll give it to you for free later..."
"Both of them, I want them both," Xiao Xun'er blurted out.
Just as she was trying to find an excuse for her greedy words, a "cooing" sound reached her ears.
Xiao Xun'er's eyes fell on the boy's stomach, and as if she understood something, she reached into her purse and pulled out a heavy bag of gold coins from somewhere.
He said in a soft tone:
"I can buy it."
money?
Xiao Yan's gaze was almost directly drawn to the bag of gold coins.
He had returned in a hurry and hadn't prepared anything suitable. Now, if he wanted to travel back in time, he had neither the resources nor the magic core, nor any special products he had brought from Douluo Continent.
Besides the cultivation technique, traveling back in time is his second biggest problem recently. This bag of money looks like it has a lot of money!
A hundred? Several hundred?
As expected of a well-known wealthy woman in the Dou Qi Continent...
When Xiao Xun'er saw that the other party did not answer her directly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Was it because she had not given enough?
She hadn't brought much luggage, and if it weren't for the fact that rabbits are indeed cute, and considering she was alone at the Xiao family's house, she would have been feeling a bit down. Having a cute rabbit for company would have been a great relief...
It would definitely alleviate the problem a lot. She bit her lip and couldn't help but think about adding something else in exchange for the time.
Suddenly, her arm felt a slight weight on it. When Xiao Xun'er looked up, the pink and white rabbit had been placed in her hand.
The little one's eyes showed fear, and his body trembled slightly. He seemed to know that he had escaped the clutches of the evil spirits, and he kept burrowing into her arms, looking pitiful and cute.
Xiao Xun'er smiled brightly.
"In exchange, I'll take the money."
Xiao Yan remained almost imperceptible as he naturally took the money pouch that Xiao Xun'er had instinctively dropped.
It was very heavy, even more than what he had at the Xiao family's pharmacy before.
"Thanks."
Xiao Xun'er thanked him, but her fingers couldn't help but gently stroke the soft pink and white fur in her arms. Her smile deepened. The fur felt even better than she had imagined, and the little guy was even more well-behaved.
"If you still want it, I can sell you the one I have at home," Xiao Yan added quietly.
But after she finished speaking, Xiao Xun'er's expression and pupils clearly froze. Didn't she buy two?
How come now... but the feel in my hand, it seems like I'm not at all disappointed?
"Um!"
Xiao Xun'er nodded vigorously.
Just as the two were happily making their agreement.
Surrounded by a group of people, Xiao Yan saw this scene and a few unreadable emotions flashed in his eyes.
"snort--"
