Chapter 1627 The Street Vendor
The Peacock Princess and a dozen of her maids were standing around a wayside stall set by a lean,
old man.
On a piece of a dirty rag stretched on the ground, there were dozens of ancient antiques made of
bronze, porcin or jade.
"Rare treasures! Rare treasures excavated from the tomb of the Purple Immortal!"
The old man called out with a lot of effort every few minutes trying to catch the attention of customers.
Austin noticed that the Peacock Princess was holding a broken jade pendant in her hand, and looking
at it with interest. It looked like she intended to buy it.
"Can you charge a little lesser, sir?"
The Peacock Princess asked. Her voice was very melodious, like the gurgling sound of a brook,
winding through the valleys.
Being the princess of the beast race, she was not as seductive as her peers, but there was an
elegance and nobleness in her character, like a fairy living on the moon.
"This is a jade pendant not cabbage, my girl, to bargain over its price.
I risked my life and exhausted myself to dig them out from the Purple Immortal''s tomb.
It will cost at least 5000 enlightening crystals, or 10 ruling crystals. Nothing less than that!"
The lean old man shouted, with saliva sputtering out his mouth.
"Mydy, please watch out. Don''t fall into his trap.
He is merely a dirty old man. It is absolutely impossible for him to step into the Purple Immortal''s tomb
and get these items."
A slim and graceful maiden of the beast race reminded the princess. She was Cheryl. Her voice was
soft and enchanting enough to pull a few heart strings.
"But this jade pendant looks so different from others!"
The Peacock Princess held that broken jade pendant, sizing it up repeatedly, but unable to make a final
decision.
Suddenly, there was a coughing sound. "Well sir, where on earth did you get those fake things? Seem
toe from some unknown graves!"
A strong young man walked across the crowd and taunted the old man sarcastically.
"Go away! Just go away! What do you know about antiques? Nothing! So don''t ther and waste our
time!"
The lean old man pulled a long face at the young man.
That strong young man was Austin.
The Peacock Princess and her maids caught a glimpse of Austin. Knowing that he was merely a
human being, they didn''t care anymore.
Suddenly, Austin felt something strange.
It was the gray egg hidden in his clothes that became active.
It was transmitting a strong desire for something which was on the wayside stall.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
As surprised as he was, Austin had a nce at the antiques which were on sale.
Finally, he set his eyes on four ck muddy stones
''Can these four stones bear the magical time power?''
Austin stared at the four stones with curiosity.
It was clear to Austin that the gray egg could only hatch with the assistance of the valuable treasure
bearing the time power.
The gray egg wanted the stones badly. That meant they must be magical ones.
It was well-known fact that the time power was much rarer than the space power.
The treasures containing the time power were also very exceptional and exquisite.
"Sir, what are those four stones? How much are they for?"
Pretending to be calm, Austin came closer to check the four stones carefully.
"1000 enlightening crystals!"
The old man stretched out a finger.
Austin got shocked to hear the price.
"Those are just fourmon stones. They can''t be so expensive. It is unreasonable."
Austin curled his lips.
"Buy it or not. It is up to you. The price won''t change!"
The old man was very stubborn and wasn''t ready to lower the price of any of the objects.
Austin wanted to go off in a huff, but the grey egg kept reminding him of its urgent need for the four
stones.
Atst, Austin decided not to care about the money. He wiped the Space Ring on his finger, took out
two superior herbs at fourth grade, and put them on the rag.
"Superior herbs at the fourth grade? It''s barely enough. I need at least ten of them!"
The old man seized the two superior herbs at once. Not one to be satisfied by it, he put forward another
demand.
"You... You... Old devil!"
Austin hesitated for a moment. Knowing well that he couldn''t leave without the stones, he wiped the
Space Ring again. He took out another eight superior herbs at fourth grade, and threw them at the old
man angrily.
"Ha-ha! That''s great. They are yours now!"
The old man spoke in a pleasant manner after getting what he wanted.
Austin waved his hand gently, producing a soft vital energy force. The four stones were brought into the
Space Ring immediately.
"I will buy the jade pendant."
The Peacock Princess standing aside also made up her mind. She waved her beautiful hands lightly.
Five thousand enlightening crystals fell near the old man at once, and she put the jade pendant in her
clothes.
The maids could do nothing, and kept staring at the lean old man in rage with their beautiful eyes.
The lean old man could not be happier, because he had made two sessful deals in a day.
"Bitch!"
A cold voice filled with hatred suddenly sounded from another side of the street.
Austin turned his head. There were two people standing side by side. Both of them were gazing at
them coldly.
One of them was Marcus.
The other young man seemed strong. He was dressed in ck clothes and was enveloped in a space
filled with ck mes. The whole space was continuously twisted, rendering a sense of unreality.
This young man, possessed iparable magical power and was bathed in terrifying ck mes. He
looked like a ghost who just stepped out of hell.
He was such a horrifying man that the area of around ten meters around him was the forbidden area.
No one would dare to trespass except for Marcus.
"Oh god! They are Paul and Marcus, two eminent geniuses from Ji n!"
someone eximed in a low voice.
"It is really them. It is said that Paul got to the Bitter Sea Realm at the age of fifteen, and went through
the Divine Bridge Realm when he was merely twenty.
And now, he is only 22 years old.
Among all his peers, Paul is so talented that he can easily get to the top five,"
someone murmured.
Everybody was astonished to see Paul, the man surrounded by ck mes.
With his spiritual sense, Austin could hear people''s discussion clearly. Facing such a powerful man left
him aghast.
Reaching Bitter Sea Realm at fifteen! Divine Bridge Realm at twenty! Such great aptitude was really
amazing. Indeed he had supreme talent.
"The defeated one! How dare you toe to threaten me?"
The Peacock Princess red at Marcus. Her good-looking face suddenly turned grim.
In the Dawning Mountains, the beast race under the leadership of the Peacock Princes had a fierce
fight against Marcus''s family. Both sides suffered with arge number of casualties.
It was quite understandable why the princess bore grudge against Marcus.
"Marcus, your senior reclusive elder has made an agreement with our Flood Dragon King that you will
not bother the Peacock Princess any more.
How dare you! How can you do such despicable things?"
Cheryl stepped forward and berated Marcus loudly.
