Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Seeing Ma Luosu standing there for a long time holding a beast core and looking unhappy, an employee walked up to him and asked, "Manager Ma, is there any problem with this beast core?"

"Well. If I'm not mistaken, this beast core belongs to the Leopard King." Ma Luosu took a final deep look, then put the beast core back on the pile of materials from the ancient wilderness.

"Leopard King?" The employee looked confused.

"Send someone to tell the city lord that the benefactor his friend entrusted him to find has most likely been found." Ma Luosu put his hands behind his back and walked slowly outside.

"Yes!"

Outside the auction house.

"What's with those things just now?" Hong Xiao asked, but he didn't look at Xuan behind him. The smell of those materials aroused his little interest. The manager just now said that they were produced in the ancient wild area, a place he had no impression of.

"Just like what Manager Ma said, they are all materials from the Ancient Wilderness. The rules here are not suitable for me, so I usually stay in the Ancient Wilderness and collect hundreds of millions of them. However, staying there for a long time can easily affect my temperament, so I occasionally come to the mortal world to change my mood." Xuan did not hide the question about Hong Xiao and said it directly.

"You won't be wanted in the Savage Ancient Territory?"

Xuan shook his head subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that Hong Xiao didn't look at him, so he said: "That's not the case. But the rule over there is that the strong are respected. Ordinary lords will not offend me for that little reward. Some lords, because of factors similar to the fox borrowing the power of the tiger, even spontaneously serve me as their master. The wanted order is just a useless order.

Those demon gods are no match for me in a single fight on the front battlefield, and they dare not declare war on me. After all, there are so many demons and monsters who believe in me. If this battle really breaks out, it will shake the foundation of monsters. "

"The strong are respected? That's a good rule." Hong Xiao's tone sounded somewhat agreeable.

"Those just now are just the things that can be shown on the surface. I have some things here that can't be shown on the surface. Are you interested in taking a look?" Xuan suddenly said mysteriously.

Hong Xiao finally looked at Xuan and motioned him to continue.

Xuan brought Hong Xiao to the dark place and took out a beast core. This beast core looked the same as an ordinary one, but the inside was filled with scarlet chaos and looked turbid.

Feeling the breath emitted by the beast core, Hong Xiao's eyes fluctuated slightly: "What is this?"

"Magic crystals, the beast cores of magical beasts, are goods that can only be circulated on the black market." Xuan introduced: "Just like the beast cores and spirit crystals of divine beasts, absorbing them can also directly improve your realm. However, the vitality provided by unprocessed magic crystals is mixed with evil spirits. Ordinary people and beasts are prone to go crazy and run away after absorbing them. But this evil spirit is insignificant compared to yours. Based on my experience, you should not be affected by these things."

"This is a magic crystal from a six-star magical beast. Do you want to try it?" Xuan threw the beast core in his hand into Hong Xiao's arms, and the latter took it and looked at it.

Xiao: "Will it be dangerous?"

Red Mandrill: "Are you worried about me?"

Xiao: "I'm afraid you'll let the wolf in."

Red Xiao: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Hong Xiao crushed the beast core, and the scarlet energy escaped and then gathered into his palm.

Just as the red goblin was feeling the changes in his body, Xuan continued to talk, "It may be because their ancestors all survived the struggle with death. The power contained in the magic crystal can make up for the vitality, but the effect can only be seen with high-quality magic crystals. This one is relatively rare, and I need it myself, so I won't let you try it."

After these vital energies entered the Red Mandrill's body, a few strands separated and revealed emotional fluctuations that wanted to cause destruction. But when the Red Mandrill's consciousness was projected onto them, they immediately calmed down and obediently allowed the power in this body to assimilate them.

Hong Xiao felt that his cultivation had improved a lot. If he could get one more step, he might be able to break through to the second star of Saint level.

Red Xiao: Did the Leopard King sell his beast core too hastily?

After confirming that these vital energies were harmless to him, Hong Xiao withdrew his attention and looked up at Xuan: "What did you just say?"

"Nothing." Xuan waved his hand and carefully looked at Hong Xiao's expression: "From your appearance, you should have tasted the benefits, but don't get addicted. There are incomplete beast souls in the beast core. If you absorb too much in a short period of time, or if the original owner of the beast core you absorb is much stronger than you, it will cause great trouble. If you don't pay attention, it may even endanger your life. It takes a lot of time and energy to deal with these troubles, and the loss outweighs the gain."

Hong Xiao's eyes dimmed. He thought that he could use this method to quickly improve his realm in a short period of time, thereby increasing the body's ability to carry strength and reducing the chance of his body collapsing because he could not control the strength.

He looked away in disappointment: "Where to go next?"

"Of course we have to find a place to stay. We can't sleep on the street, right?" Xuan looked through the alley at the pedestrians coming and going on the main road. "There are so many outsiders in the city. I don't know if the inns are full. Let me think about where the inns in Lincheng are..."

After going to six or seven inns, they finally found one with vacancies, which happened to be the last two rooms.

"How long do you two plan to stay?" asked the innkeeper.

Xuanxin thought that the auction would be held in three days and might last more than one day, so he signed up for seven days.

"Okay, the total is one thousand four hundred spirit stones." The shopkeeper looked at Xuan with a smile.

Xiao: "In the mortal world, isn't it true that only auction houses have situations where transactions can only be made with Spiritual Stones?"

Red Mandrill: “…”

Hong Xiao stared at the shopkeeper in front of him with cold eyes. As he was wearing a mask, the other party couldn't see it, but only felt a chill on his back.

"You need so many spirit stones. Is your house suitable for cultivation or is there another world inside?" Xuan frowned, with an unhappy look under the mask. In the mortal world, 1,400 spirit stones is already a large number. Although he has countless spirit stones in his storage bracelet, he is still very unhappy that someone wants to kill him.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper thought he had no money, and immediately changed his face: "So many immortals have come recently, how can there be any vacant rooms now? I'm just asking if you want one? This is a residence provided for immortals. Which immortal can't afford this amount of spiritual stones? Poor guy, if you can't afford it, get out of here and don't affect my business."

Just as Xuan was about to say something, a bag of spirit stones was thrown onto the counter.

"Boss, I need two rooms for seven days." A man came up from the back and looked at Xuan with contempt: "I'm sorry, these two rooms are mine. You can't even afford this little money, it's really embarrassing for us immortals, you should go back to where you came from."

Feeling the faint murderous intent rising around him, Xuan put his palm on "Xiao"'s shoulder, signaling him not to mess around, and his eyes turned to the provocative man: "Are you here to participate in the auction too?"

"Of course." The man raised his chin, revealing his nostrils, looking quite proud.

"Okay." Xuan nodded meaningfully and whispered to "Xiao": "Let's go. There's no need to get into trouble for this kind of person."

The two left the inn and were on their way to look for a new target when they suddenly heard a hesitant call from behind.

"You are... Jin Peng?"
