Chapter 49 One Step to the Sky

"One gold coin." The owner of the stall was obviously very good at business, seeing Ning Cheng and the sarong girl holding a pearl flower, he immediately opened his mouth to the lion.

What's more, today's Nanyuan City is full of foreigners, not to mention one gold coin, even if it is ten gold coins, as long as someone looks at it, someone will buy it.

The girl in the sarong shook her hands slightly, and repeated in disbelief, "A pair of bead flowers like this cost one gold coin? How is this possible..."

In her opinion, even if the bead flower is exquisite and beautiful, it is only a few dozen copper coins at most, not even a silver coin.

The stall owner said unhurriedly, "My bead flowers are all unique, there will never be a second pair, and they are all handcrafted by the foundry masters of the Imperial City. How can this price be said to be expensive? Besides, I said It’s one gold coin per flower, not one-to-one gold coin.”

Ning Cheng also knew that the boss, Shizi, opened his mouth, but let alone a gold coin now, even a thousand gold coins are nothing to him. What's more, gold coins have less and less effect on him. What he needs now is a spirit stone, even if it is a gas gathering stone, it will not be of much use to him.

"Boss, then I'll pay you one gold coin. Can you sell me these two bead flowers?" The sarong girl looked at the bead flower in Ning Cheng's hand and gritted her teeth. She came to Nanyuan City this time to participate in the selection of Mingxin Academy, but she loves this bead flower so much, and holding this bead flower, she has a very peaceful feeling, she feels that this bead flower is made for her .

Ever since she was a child, she has never spent so much money so extravagantly on a small hair accessory.

"No." The boss said firmly, while looking at Ning Cheng.

Ning Cheng could tell from the tone of the girl in the sarong that she loved this pair of beaded flowers very much. But this pair of bead flowers was something he definitely needed, and he couldn't express the surprise in his heart when he saw this same pair of bead flowers in Nanyuan City. This is not something that can be represented by simply refining two bead flowers. For Ning Cheng, this is a kind of divine will.

The young girl also looked at Ning Cheng, her eyes were full of hope, she hoped that Ning Cheng would give her the Pearl Flower. She was not a fool, and she could clearly see that the reason why the owner of this stall raised the price was not because the bead flower was really so precious, but because someone was competing with her, and this person who was competing with her was now standing by her side.

Ning Cheng cast an apologetic look at the girl and said, "I'm really sorry, this pair of pearl flowers means a lot to me. Can you please give up your love and give me the pearl flowers in your hand? I would like to give you another pair You can choose whatever you want."

This sarong girl looked very rustic, but Ning Cheng found that she was no worse than An Yi, her pair of eyes were even brighter and clearer, that kind of innocent eyes seemed to be able to see into the bottom of people's hearts, and then let People can't bear to refuse. But Ning Cheng was sure that she had never cultivated before, and there was no fluctuation of true energy in her body.

After hearing Ning Cheng's words, the girl frowned slightly, it was not because Ning Cheng was unwilling to transfer the Pearl Flower to her. She knew that in Nanyuan City, she was probably the only one who valued a gold coin so much.

The reason she frowned was because Ning Cheng said he would give her a pair of pearl flowers, which made her feel that this person was a little too frivolous. Men don't give pearl flowers to women casually.

She shook her head, put down the bead flower in her hand and said, "It's better not to separate this pair of bead flowers. Since it is meaningful to you, then I will let you."

Her tone was gentle and demure, as if it was only natural for her to give up Zhuhua to Ning Cheng.

Ning Cheng hurriedly took out two gold coins and handed them to the owner of the booth, and then he thanked the sarong girl, "Thank you very much, you choose a pair of beaded flowers, I will give it to you."

The girl in the sarong directly refused this time, "No, what I like is the pair of snowflake-shaped bead flowers, and I don't want others to give them to me. I can afford two gold coins."

Ning Cheng had no excuse for this, if he was asked to give away a pair of beaded flowers that missed his sister Ruolan to a stranger, then he would not be willing.

There was a person beside him who could see clearly, and sneered with some disdain, "A man actually competes with a woman for pearl flowers."

The girl in the sarong was obviously afraid of causing a bigger dispute, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly turned around and walked into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

Ning Cheng didn't pay attention to others' words, he directly put away Zhuhua, and didn't leave, instead he asked the owner of the stall, "Boss, are so many people who come to Nanyuan City going to participate in the Mingxin Academy's selection? Although Mingxin Academy is big, it doesn’t need so many people, right?”

The owner of the stall was in a good mood after earning two gold coins. After hearing Ning Cheng's words, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, "How is it possible? Although there are many people here, most of them came to meet us. People in the city compete for business. Later, you will go to the Linggen Test Square, where there are foreign stalls everywhere. The number of people that Mingxin Academy wants has nothing to do with the people who come, but has something to do with the spiritual root cultivation base and comprehension."

"Spirit root test square?" Ning Cheng asked a little confused.

The stall owner replied tirelessly, "You shouldn't be here to participate in the selection of Mingxin Academy, right? Generally, those who come to participate in the selection will go to the Linggen Test Plaza for the first spiritual root test. Only the first spiritual root test Those who pass are eligible to enter Mingxin Academy to participate in the second spiritual root test."

After speaking, the boss was afraid that Ning Cheng didn't understand very well, so he said with great pride, "It's not easy for our Mingxin Samsung Academy of Mingyi Zhenguo to recruit disciples this time. If they are selected, they might be able to reach the sky in one step."

"Oh, what's going on here?" Ning Cheng was really curious. It must be a great honor and luck for Mingxin Samsung Academy to be selected, but it will not reach the sky in one step.

The stall owner was extremely proud, as if Mingxin Samsung Academy was his private property, "Have you heard of Huazhou? There are nine continents in Yixing Continent, and Huazhou is the most abundant aura among the three low-level continents. If the location is not good, they can all be rowed to Intermediate Continent.”

"I know, I know, but I still need to ask for more details." Ning Cheng hurriedly lowered his posture and said with cupped fists, he was really planning to go to Huazhou.

The stall owner was very satisfied with Ning Cheng's attitude, and he didn't even bother to greet his own business. He carefully explained to Ning Cheng, "I heard that there are five five-star academies in Huazhou. It will be conducted among the five five-star academies. Once any five-star academies wins the competition, they will receive great benefits.

In order to win the first place in three years, these five colleges will recruit the best disciples in Pingzhou, Yuanzhou and Huazhou at the same time. The academies that can participate in the delivery of outstanding disciples are all academies with three stars or higher. My Mingxin Academy belongs to one of them, as long as I am selected by Mingxin Academy, I will have the opportunity to go to Huazhou Five-Star Academy. "

"Then what great benefit did the academy get?" Ning Cheng asked subconsciously, he was really curious about the great benefit that even the five-star academy cared about.

"I don't know about that." The stall owner was a little embarrassed.

"I can know, but you need to sell me the bead flower you just bought back." A hoarse buzz sounded beside Ning Cheng.

Ning Cheng turned his head and saw an extremely stout young man. Not only was this young man extremely stout, but he was also wearing coarse clothes. Ning Cheng immediately guessed that this young man should have something to do with the sarong girl who left just now.

Seeing this, Ning Cheng first thanked the boss, and then said to the young man, "Since my friend wants pearl flowers, let's go to a quiet place and talk."

Zhuhua Ningcheng didn't want to give it, but he wanted to know some things. This young man seemed to have no background, and seemed to know more than the stall owner.

The young man didn't think much about it at all, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way. No matter what you ask, I will tell you as long as I know, the condition is that you give me the bead flower."

He seemed very straightforward, but he could see Ning Cheng's purpose at a glance.

Ning Cheng did not bring this young man to the resting place, the resting place and restaurants in Nanyuan City were already overcrowded, and he couldn't find a quiet place to sit when he went there.

Ning Cheng just took the young man to a secluded place with a little less people, and said bluntly and politely, "Friend, that bead flower is extremely important to me, and I can't give it to you. But I really just When I arrived at Nanyuan City, I didn’t understand many things, so I still need to ask for advice.”

The reason why he chose this young man for questioning was because Ning Cheng could see that the other party should be an extremely simple and honest person, and he had never cultivated. It is safer to ask him than to ask some people who have practiced before. Otherwise, he, a Qi Gathering cultivator who came to Nanyuan City and didn't know how Mingxin Academy recruited disciples, would definitely attract suspicion. If it's somewhere else, forget it, but here he has an enemy, Lan Yinyue.

After hearing Ning Cheng's words, the young man's eyes flashed with sadness, "My sister was a little unhappy when she found me before, and I have never let her suffer wronged since I was a child. The flowers were bought by others."

"Then how do you know it's me?" Ning Cheng blurted out, there are so many people on this street, the sarong girl had been gone for a long time, he was delayed because he had a question to ask the stall owner. It stands to reason that this young man didn't see him buying anything, so he probably didn't know it was him who bought the pearl flowers.

The young man took out a handkerchief with some embarrassment and said, "I said I would definitely help her get it back, so she drew a portrait for me, and I recognized it as you at a glance..."

Ning Cheng froze when he saw the portrait on the handkerchief, there are still such dexterous people in the world. There are only a few strokes in this portrait, but his image is completely outlined on the handkerchief. This kind of simple realism is completely comparable to the realism captured by the digital camera, and even the hand-painted ones are more realistic.

Ning Cheng has always boasted that his memory and analysis ability are unrivaled, but today he realized that he is not the only one with a strong memory. With a simple glance, he can outline his facial expressions and every detail, how many days will it take to do this?
