Upon hearing this, a mischievous glint flashed in White Mitchellâs eyes followed by nonchalantly picking up a few nondescript items from the stall.
Naturally, these unremarkable items included the fragment of the incense burner.
After gathering his items, Hill Mitchell gave the stall owner a glance.
Seeing that all were worthless items, the stall owner did not make it difficult for White Mitchell. He accepted ten lower-grade Blood Stones from him and let them go.
After leaving, White Mitchell found an unoccupied corner and discarded all items apart from the ginseng and the incense burner fragment.
Witnessing this scene, Lucy was even more perplexed.
What is going on here?
Seeing Lucyâs baffled expression, White Mitchell chuckled, âThe world is dangerous, without some cunning, survival here is challenging.â
Lucy: ???
After hearing these words, Lucy looked even more bewildered.
However, White Mitchell didnât want to explain too much, he just led her to meet the God of Heaven War and the God of Earth War.
Yet, the more White Mitchell concealed, the more curious Lucy became. She was determined to press him on it until he made things clear.
Having no choice, while on their way, White Mitchell explained, âThis ginseng, although hundreds of years old, has lost most of its medicinal power. Itâs barely worth one lower-grade Blood Stone. Even if I offered a mere lower-grade Blood Stone, the seller would have sold it to me without any hesitation.â
âThen why did you talk about landlords? Getting tricked? Fear of being scolded?â Lucy probed further.
She had almost blurted out these questions upon hearing his words at that time.
This was her biggest puzzle.
Upon hearing her words, White Mitchell smiled, âIf I didnât say that, how would he think that I was tricked? This ginseng, worth one lower-grade Blood Stone, bought by me for ten, is a certain profit for him.
So, even if I picked up some worthless trinkets from his stall, he wouldnât say anything.
This is what is called âIn war, there is no excessive deceit.'â
Uh!?
By now, Lucy began to understand a bit and promptly widened her eyes, asking, âYou mean, your real goal is not this ginseng but the fragment of the incense burner you had earlier?
But, what do you want with the fragment of the incense burner?
Even though it was once a Spiritual Artifact, it is now so broken and beyond repair. Having it would be pointless.â
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell gave a meaningful smile, âYou will see.â
At these words, Lucyâs curiosity intensified even more.
In a while, White Mitchell reunited with God of Heaven War and Earth War God, who had finished buying supplies.
They used the previously mentioned ten lower-grade Blood Stones to buy a lot of food and fresh water, enough for them to survive for a while outside.
Seeing this, White Mitchell was glad to have obtained a Qiankun Bag.
If not, carrying so much stuff would eventually affect their movement, let alone the risk of perishables spoiling.
However, with the Qiankun Bag, they could now journey for longer without worrying about food or water.
âOkay, since weâre all together now, can you tell me what you plan to do with the fragment of the incense burner?â Lucy asked again.@@novelbin@@
White Mitchell chuckled and promptly led all three of them to a secluded corner.
