The asking price was a whopping thirty spirit stones.
In front of the counter.
Zhang Jing took out the spirit stones while laughing, "Shopkeeper, that girl who just left, she's not your niece is she?"
"Ah..."
At those words, the shopkeeper sighed, then explained, "I knew I couldn't hide it from an intelligent person like you, Young Master Zhang. That little girl is really unfortunate. Her parents met an accident during their cultivation, leaving only her and her three-year-old brother. Those of us old neighbors help her out as much as we can."
"Despite her misfortunes, this girl is quite bold and resolute. She's always talking about saving up spirit stones to send her brother to the Dao Institute to cultivate."
So that's how it was.
A touch of sympathy flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.
"Well, Shopkeeper, we'll be leaving then."
Having said that, Zhang Jing and Ji Bochang turned and left the magic artifact shop.
Not long after.
