Chapter 486 Tempering

When it was getting late, Zhou Xing stood under the west gate of Lingcheng City. Just over a month, it seemed like a lifetime ago to him.

"Axezu, according to what you said, I seem to be fourteen soon. This fourteenth-year-old gift is really a surprise!" Zhou Xing suddenly said with emotion.

Ax Zu was stunned after hearing this, and then realized that the gift Zhou Xing mentioned was himself who can now practice.

"Hahaha... don't worry, your road will get wider and wider in the future..."

Zhou Xing, who entered Lingcheng, quickly came to a store selling clothes. As soon as he entered, a female servant came up and greeted him: "Welcome, Master. I wonder what kind of clothes you need."

"Oh, look at what style is more suitable for me, please recommend it to me!" Zhou Xing actually doesn't care much about what he wears, as long as it is clean.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Xing walked out of the fitting room and stared at the waitress and some young women and girls who were buying clothes. He had hair tied up in a shawl, brocade clothes and jade belts, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown jade. He was such a handsome young man.

Lang!

Some women who usually like to gossip started discussing it in full swing.

"Which young man is this? He's so handsome!"

"I don't know. There doesn't seem to be anyone like this among the rich young men in Lingcheng?"

"Looking at him, he must not be married yet. I think my daughter is a good match for him, and she will definitely fall in love with him!"

"Mrs. Zhang, I think it's not your daughter who fell in love with him! Hahaha..."

Zhou Xing felt particularly uncomfortable hearing these simple words, so he had to pay the money and run away.

"Not to mention, after cleaning your muscles and marrow, you can really be a pretty boy. This is also a kind of happiness! Hahaha..." Ax Zu Xin said with a gleeful smile.

Zhou Xing was speechless in his heart, but he also thought silently in his heart: "Well, now it seems that my clothes really fit me very well, so I will buy according to this in the future."

When it got completely dark, Zhou Xing returned to the shabby house, where it was still the same as before.

"I'll stay here tonight, just to say goodbye to my old life!"

Zhou Xing sat in the dilapidated house, staring at the hole in the roof, thinking about the day that would change his destiny. After not sleeping for more than a month, he gradually fell into sleep, leaving only a long sigh.

Echoing in the silent night...

Early the next morning, Zhou Xing's figure appeared in front of Wanbao Tower. Today he also picked up a package, which contained some of the things he planned to use in exchange for resources.

"Welcome, young master. I wonder what you need? I can lead the way for you." As usual in Wanbao Tower, two women stood in front and led the way.

"Well, can I ask that girl to guide me?" Zhou Xingke asked, pointing to the female servant not far away who was preparing to enter Wanbao Tower.

"Ah! I'm sorry, sir, that's our team leader. She's not here to guide the guests." When the female servant saw the person Zhou Xing pointed to, she said apologetically.

Just when Zhou Xing was about to say that he was fine, the female servant he was referring to seemed to have heard their conversation and actually came to Zhou Xing and the two of them. Only then did Zhou Xing see the word "leader" written on her chest.

"Leader." The woman quickly saluted her.

The woman waved her hands and said, "I'll come here, please step back first!"

The female servant hurriedly retreated. At this time, the team leader saluted Zhou Xing and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xiaozhu. I am glad to serve you!"

"Haha...your service attitude is getting better and better!" Zhou Xing chuckled softly.

Hearing this, Xiaozhu asked with slight confusion: "Thank you for the compliment, Master, but Xiaozhu seems to have never seen Master come to Wanbao Tower. How did Master know Xiaozhu?"

"Hahaha... I wanted to thank you a month ago for speaking out and informing Manager Wang to stop He Yun from bullying the boy!" Zhou Xing said with a carefree smile.

"Ah! You are..."

It was really difficult for Xiaozhu to overlap the image of the beggar boy last time with the image of the handsome boy in front of him.

"Yes, I am exactly the beggar boy I was back then."

Zhou Xing looked at Xiaozhu who looked in disbelief and nodded to confirm her suspicion.

"I'm sorry, Young Master, you have changed too much. I forgive Xiaozhu for not being able to recognize the Young Master. Please come in, Young Master!"

"You're not bad either. I haven't seen you for a month and you've become the team leader."

Xiaozhu smiled slightly and then extended her hand to invite Zhou Xing to enter Wanbao Tower. She herself called a girl to whisper a few instructions before following her.

"I wonder what the young master needs this time?" Xiao Zhu asked, walking next to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing weighed the animal skin package in his hand and said, "I wonder where Wanbao Tower purchases items?"

"Master, please come with me."

Zhou Xing followed Xiaozhu to a side room in the hall on the first floor. There was a table and two chairs in the room, and there was a woman sitting behind the table.

"Xiaohong, help this young man see what he wants to sell." Xiaozhu said to the female servant.

When the woman heard this, she bowed and said, "Yes, please take out the items you want to sell."

After Zhou Xing put the package on the table and opened it, he thought about it and put away the black snake dagger and asked: "How much silver can these be exchanged for?"

The female servant named Xiao Hong checked the things and said to Zhou Xing: "Sir, you have seventy first-grade spiritual materials, one hundred beast-repelling grasses, and five scales from the first-grade Burning Beast Black Rock Python.

One snake gallbladder can be exchanged for a total of 2,650 taels of silver."

This number was a surprise to Zhou Xing. He didn't expect that these could actually contain 650 taels of silver.

In the end, after Zhou Xing took the money, he started wandering around in the shopping area on the first floor, while Xiaozhu followed quietly beside him, peeking at him from time to time.

"Xiao Zhu, is there something on my face? Why do you keep peeking at me?" Finally, Zhou Xing couldn't help but stop and speak.

Xiaozhu's face turned red and he said honestly: "No, it's just that I really can't imagine that the young master is so handsome, but I feel that the young master is lacking something now."

"Oh, I wonder what I'm missing in my hand?" Zhou Xing suddenly asked in confusion.

Xiaozhu simply replied: "Folding fan!"

Zhou Xing made some comparisons and felt that there was a folding fan that would be suitable for him, so he went to a place that sold folding fans and picked out a light white folding fan.

Zhou Xing had never used this thing before, and after playing with it a few times like those young men, he still felt like a rich second generation.

"Hey! I find that you have more and more potential to be a pretty boy, or a dashing young man! Hahaha..."

Looking at Zhou Xing's appearance, Ax Zu made fun of him again. Zhou Xing was already immune to this, and he felt that holding the folding fan felt very relaxing.

Zhou Xing walked around again, and finally came to a counter selling elixirs. He pointed at the elixirs and asked Xiaozhu: "What do these elixirs do?"

"Sir, these are Huang-level low-grade elixirs, the Muscle and Bone Pills. Since the seventh level of physical training is mainly about the exercise of muscles and bones, the muscles and bones are one of the most suitable training resources for those above the seventh level of physical training." Xiaozhu explained.

Zhou Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this, but his heart dropped when he saw the price, because this muscle and bone pill cost five hundred taels of silver each, and Zhou Xing could only buy one now.

"Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with being poor in literature and rich in martial arts, but a low-grade Huang-level elixir costs five hundred taels of silver. I wonder how expensive the higher-level Xuan-level, Earth-level, or even Heaven-level elixirs are?" Zhou

Xing murmured softly.

Although the Muscle and Bone Pill is very expensive, Zhou Xing bought one without hesitation. After all, strength is the most important thing. However, most of the silver he just got was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Sir, our manager Wang would like to see you, are you free?" Seeing that Zhou Xing seemed to be preparing to leave Wanbao Tower, Xiaozhu quickly pulled Zhou Xing and asked.

Xiaozhu's words made Zhou Xing couldn't help but think of Manager Wang, whom he met last time, and his impressive red figure.

"Lead the way!" Zhou Xing also directly asked Xiaozhu to take him there. He also wanted to ask Manager Wang some questions.

Xiaozhu led Zhou Xing out of the shopping area and walked to the depths of the first floor, which seemed to be a place specially designed to entertain guests. Finally, when Xiaozhu led Zhou Xing into a room, there was Manager Wang in a blue robe.

"Young master is here, please take a seat!" Manager Wang's eyes flashed with surprise after seeing Zhou Xing, while Xiaozhu silently exited the room and closed the door.

"I wonder what Manager Wang means by asking this boy to come here?" Zhou Xing asked directly.

"Haha... Sir, please be calm for a moment. Sir, please sit down. I invite you here today because I hope to make friends with you." Steward Wang said with a slow smile while making tea leisurely.

Zhou Xing sat down slowly after hearing this, then raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Wang, for your kindness. If you have anything to say, please ask Manager Wang directly!"

"Okay, I wonder what your surname is, sir? Where do you live? What year is it? Of course, if it's not convenient for you to answer, then I'll take it as an offense." Manager Wang asked politely.

Zhou Xing thought for a while and then said: "It's not that I can't answer you, I just hope that Manager Wang can also answer my question."

Manager Wang nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and Zhou Xing immediately said: "My surname is Zhou. He is fourteen years old this year. He has not settled down yet."

After hearing this, Manager Wang expressed his admiration: "Master Zhou is really a talented person! But I don't know what Master Zhou wants to ask? I must know everything."

"That kid is presumptuous. I wonder if Manager Wang can tell me where the sister in red who saved me last time is?"

When Manager Wang heard Zhou Xing's question, his tea-making hand shook uncontrollably, and a trace of awe flashed in his eyes.

"Ahem... The eldest lady is just here for fun. She has already gone back to the headquarters." Manager Wang replied politely.

"Oh! I would like to thank Manager Wang for saving the boy's life last time."

"No, it's my responsibility to handle these things in Wanbao Tower. Come and have a taste of the tea I brewed..."

Zhou Xing stayed at Steward Wang's place for a cup of tea and then left. Steward Wang looked at Zhou Xing's leaving figure and muttered to himself: "As expected of the young lady, you are the one who deserves your attention. It only takes a month.

I can't see through it at all. His aura is restrained, but he still has a touch of otherworldly aura."

Zhou Xing was slightly disappointed when he walked out of Wanbao Tower. After all, the person he wanted to see had already left.

"Oh...you said you have no intentions towards others?" Ax Zu started again.

Zhou Xing replied a little speechlessly: "I just want to thank you in person again."

"Okay, just be tough!" Faced with Ax Zu's aggressive general, Zhou Xing simply rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Finally, Zhou Xing rushed to the center of the city, where he planned to buy a small house. After all, he had to have a place to live first!
