The monster cores, in Mainland Dou Qi, they were also known as Magic Crystals. Monster Core was the energy core within the magical monster. The monster core was filled with an extremely cruel world energy. When faced with this type of violent world energy, even a Dou Wang would not risk absorbing a monster core.
Although the Monster core could not be absorbed directly, it was a core element in alchemy. The monster core that went through the Alchemist refining could be infused with some herbs to become a desirable and expensive pill that could increase one's strength.
Furthermore, monster cores can be placed on weapons. A weapon that had fused with the monster core not only increased its destructive power, it could also have a special Dou Qi effect, and became a highly sought after commodity in the Mainland Dou Qi.
In addition to weapons, Monster Cores can also be added to armor and defensive equipment. The defensive gear that Monster Cores has has extreme defense and gives their users an extra safety net when they are in danger.
With many uses, the monster core was naturally the most sought after item within the Mainland Dou Qi. Not only Dou Zhes but even esteemed alchemist experts searched for themselves for high-level monster cores to create higher quality level pills.
Under such demand, the supply for the monster cores on the mainland was always unable to meet the demand from the buyers, so every time a high-level core appeared at auction or other arrangements, it would be impossible to meet the demand from the buyers, it was immediately purchased at a high price.
Due to the high value of the monster core, many mercenary groups specialized in killing magic monsters for life but obtaining the monster core was no simple task.
Firstly, magical monsters were not only extremely powerful but also extremely cunning. Due to their cunning nature and special attacking methods, magical beasts could be much stronger than humans of the same rank. Therefore, without your own extraordinary strength, trying to kill the magical beast itself is impossible and it might lose your life without obtaining the magical core.
Even if you kill magical beasts, not all magical beasts have magic nuclei, the chances of magical beasts having nuclei were almost random so the mercenary group could have half of their strength killed trying to kill magical monsters but not find the core. This kind of incident happened all the time in the Dou Qi Mainland…
So the price of the monster cores in the Dou Qi Mainland were all extremely expensive.
……
Carrying Xun Er through a detour, Xiao Yan finally arrived at a market that was slightly to the south in the city. In Wu Tang city there were several medium-sized markets and all of them were controlled by one of the three clans. The Xiao Yan market would be under the control of the Xiao clan.
Despite being under the control of the Xiao clan, the Xiao Clan actually only maintained order and security in the market. And for compensation, be it mercenaries or merchants who set up stalls, they had to pay taxes to the clan, he said, this was a Mainland Dou Qi rule for a long time and rarely anyone tried to fight against it.
At the front entrance of the market, there were two guards from the Xiao clan. They undoubtedly knew Xiao Yan and Xun Er, judging from when the guards saw them coming, the guards stopped and immediately bowed.
Slightly nodding his head, Xiao Yan walked in and looked at the people who never stopped, he could not help but lick his lips. No wonder the clan keeps the market under strict control, with the large number of people visiting the market, the profits for the clan cannot be low ...
"Your third young master, Miss Xun Er, do you want to buy something in the market?" Just when the two were dizzy looking at the numerous people, a respectful voice sounded behind them.
Hearing that voice, Xiao Yan turned his head. Behind him were seven to eight people wearing Xiao Clan uniforms. The speaker appeared to be a 30-year-old adult man, wearing a badge with 6 gold stars, he was clearly a six star Dou Zhe.
Noticing the doubt in Xiao Yan's eyes, the man honestly smiled and said: "Third young master, I am called Pei En. The clan leader appointed me to be the leader of the guards for maintaining security in the market. Uh! Last year on the birthday of the young master, me, Pei En came ... ”
“Oh, it's Uncle Pei En!”
Xiao Yan blinked and although he did not have any impression of Pei En, his introduction made Xiao Yan smile. Since the man was personally appointed by his father, he would naturally be his subordinate, there would be no problem with loyalty.
Although the Xiao Clan is not ??With great power and influence, the clan was divided into different factions. If the man standing in front of him was under the control of the elders, he would never be so kind and would say some ordinary greetings.
“I was bored in the clan so I decided to go out and take a look. Uncle Pei En, you should go and do your job, if I have any questions, I will definitely ask. "Young Xiao Yan's voice lacked the hint of arrogance that a normal young master might possess; his voice was gentle and respectful, anyone who heard him would feel a hint of pride and joy.
Respectfully nodding his head, Xiao Yan pulled Xun Er and dove into the horde of people, disappearing from Pei En's sight ...
“Pa Li, take two men and follow Third Young Master. Also, warn the thieves in the market that/that if any of them have any ideas about Third Young Master or Xun Er then they do not need to be in this market anymore. ”Seeing the boy and girl who disappeared, Pei En turned around and his honest face was replaced by a sly and capable face.
“Ya, captain!” One of the men replied lowly and with a wave of his hand, he and the other two men also walked into the crowd.
"Haha, Third Young Master is still so gentle, it allows people to relax around him ..." Seeing the three men mixed in with the crowd, Pei En smiled but in an instant, the smile turned to frown and he sighed: "Third Young Master is a good person, sorry, haa ..."
Painstakingly shaking his head, Pei En led his remaining subordinates and went to patrol the streets.
...
Lazily following Xiao Yan, Xun Er "accidentally" glanced behind him and smiled: "Xiao Yan ge-ge. Pei En is pretty good. ”
Xiao Yan replied with a yup and scanned towards the nearest stall. His soul perception was much greater than that of a normal person so he could detect the guards following him. Looking back, Xiao Yan slowed down and walked side by side with Xun Er. Tilting his head, he joked: “9 Duan Qi and can already detect the three guards hiding. Xun Er, pretty good ... ”
Xun Er copied Xiao Yan and politely shrugged her shoulders, taking out her trump card: Smile, Keep quiet!
Looking at the silent Xun Er, a smile began to form on her lips. Lightly patting his head, he whispered: "Although I don't know who you are or where you are from, I do know that/that you are my sister and no matter what happens in the future, I will always protect you." With a light smile, Xiao Yan sped up and walked out of his line of Xun Er.
His legs stopped, Xun Er stared with her beautiful eyes behind the young man who had just spoken to her. After pausing for a moment, a smile began to creep onto her delicate face.
Within the crowd, her figure swayed back and forth, like a lotus, elegant and beautiful ...
"Brother? Xun Er is a very greedy girl ... ”Tilting his head, Xun Er muttered then quickly caught the young man in front of her.
……
Following Xiao Yan as he inspected the stall at the side, Xun Er and Xiao Yan slowly moved to the inner part of the denser and more expensive market. The people who come here to buy and sell usually have decent money or physical strength.
While Xiao Yan was engrossed in trying to find the Monster Core, the bored Xiao Xun, walked to the clean stall and with her pale white hands took out a light green bracelet. The bracelet was not made with anything special but it had a hint of Silver Ice that made it feel cold to the touch, suitable for hot summer days. Moreover, although the material is quite simple, the skill is not bad ...
Just when Xun Er decided to buy the bracelet, she remembered that/that she had lent all her money to Xiao Yan. Slightly turning around and looking at the busy young man, he could only restlessly shake his head and smile at the old stall owner. Lowering the bracelet, he lazily began to move forward ... His calm demeanor would not let him ask anyone to buy something for him, even if it was Xiao Yan ....
After walking a little forward, just when Xun was bored Er decided to return to Xiao Yan, a clear laughter ring from the front.
“Hah, isn't this Ms. Xun Er's? Hehe, I wouldn't think of finding you here, it must be fate. "
His thin brows furrowed, Xun Er tried to find the source of the sound but only saw a group of people. The group followed behind a young man dressed luxuriously.
The young man was just over 20 years old and was quite handsome. His face was a little pale but his eyes were filled with heat and looked at the young girl standing in front of him. In his gaze was also an uncontrollable lust.
