《Disciple, Don't Cause Trouble, Master Won't Leave the Mountain!》Chapter 111: The Journey Begins
Advertisement
Helpless, the two had no choice but to return to the wretched old man's wooden house.
Qin Xiaoxi was extremely unwilling.
But for the sake of her sister, she had no choice but to go ahead regradless.
"We meet again." This time, the old man continued to sit leisurely on his chair, as if he had long anticipated that Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun would come looking for him again.
"Where is the boat? I'll buy it!" Qin Xiaoxi walked forward impatiently and took out her wallet from the storage bag in her pocket.
This wallet was really big.
Even the old man was a little stunned.
She must be a woman from a rich family.
The old man's eyes rolled and a nostalgic thought emerged in his mind.
"Follow me."
The three of them came to the broken boat again. The old man had already prepared a wooden box for the gold coins.
Qin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes unwillingly.
"Watch carefully."
One...
Two...
Five...
Ten...
One hundred and forty-nine... One hundred and fifty...
"That's enough, isn't it?" Qin Xiaoxi asked impatiently. Jiang Yun was also stunned by what he saw.
"Not enough." The old man laughed strangely.
Qin Xiaoxi was really irritated this time. "Not enough? You said 150 gold coins?"
"I've changed my mind. This boat needs 180 gold coins before you can take it away." The old man grinned again, and his black teeth showed in front of the two of them again.
"How can you go back on your words? I heard you say 150 gold coins." Qin Xiaoxi clenched her fists. She was so angry that Jiang Yun could see that her ears were red with anger.
Jiang Yun hurriedly stopped her, afraid that Qin Xiaoxi would do something outrageous.
This old man was the only seller at the moment. If she was impulsive, they would not be able to do anything. They might not even get a fishing net.

"There are 30 pieces more, right?" Jiang Yun dug into his pocket, ready to take some for the old man.
"Eh..." Qin Xiaoxi was instantly speechless when she saw this? The dignified Sect Master of the Deity Sect actually bowed to a profiteer? ? ?
Jiang Yun just smiled and signaled Qin Xiaoxi not to be rash with his eyes. Then, he directly threw the money bag in his pocket into the wooden box. "There's no need to count. Adding the original, there's a total of 200 gold coins."
When the old man heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Hey... You two are really generous!" The old man immediately laughed, making Qin Xiaoxi feeling the want to beat his black teeth down. From just now, she had cursed this wretched old man countless times in her heart. She had even dragged out his eighteen generations of ancestors.
"You have got the money. So, this boat is ours now, right?" Jiang Yun looked at the old man in front of him with a half-smile, as if he was brewing some wicked idea.
"Yes, yes..." The old man happily held the money box and was ready to turn back to his wooden house.
He had really met a rich financier, 200 gold coins were easily obtained.
"Watch carefully," Jiang Yun whispered softly into the ear of the angry Qin Xiaoxi. Qin Xiaoxi looked at him in confusion when she heard this.
One could only see Jiang Yun gently squeezed with his right hand, and a stone suddenly flew to the feet of the old man as if it had grown legs.
There was a thump.
The old man did not notice the stone coming out from under his feet at all. He directly fell on the sand and took a big mouthful of sand. He looked extremely miserable.
This scene was enough for Qin Xiaoxi to vent her anger. She almost laughed out loud.

"How is it? Are you in a better mood?" The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth curled up slightly.
"I'm feeling better." Qin Xiaoxi nodded with satisfaction. Then, she stepped onto the stairs and prepared to enter the broken boat with Jiang Yun.
"Cough, cough, cough..."it seemed that no one had been on this boat for a long time.
Many corners of the deck were covered with mold, and the smell of mold instantly entered their nostrils. The boat was not big, and the deck could only accommodate about eight or nine large wooden boxes.
Qin Xiaoxi walked into the cabin.
The cabin was not big, but it had all the basic necessities. A table was placed in the middle. There was a secret door on the floor behind the table. Jiang Yun slowly reached out to open it, and an ear-piercing sound was heard. It seemed that the cabin had two floors, and there was another cabin at the bottom, but it did not seem to be very big.
"Are you satisfied? 200 gold coins for such a broken boat. Do you know how to bargain?" Qin Xiaoxi could not help but feel a fire rise in her heart again when she thought of this.
"There is no one in the vicinity who is willing to take us to the Northern Region. It is naturally impossible to bargain with the old man." Jiang Yun shook his head. In fact, he was also somewhat regretful that he had offered such a high price. If he had gone lower, he wouldn't have been ripped off by this old man.
"It would have been better if you hadn't offered such a high price in the beginning. Alright... 200 gold coins was like money down the drain." Qin Xiaoxi shook her head speechlessly. Although they had already taught that wretched old man a lesson, she still felt a lot of displeasure in her heart.
Especially after she had spent 150 gold coins, she was still cheated. Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxi's heart was filled with displeasure.
However, things had already happened. No matter how she thought about it, this broken boat was already theirs.
Qin Xiaoxi turned her gaze and found a brass compass on the wooden table.
Qin Xiaoxi opened the compass and spun it twice. Fortunately, the compass was still functional. Otherwise, she would have to buy another compass.
"Wait for me here." Jiang Yun walked to the door of the cabin and did not forget to reminded her before he left, "I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?" Qin Xiaoxi asked him in confusion.
"To prepare some necessary things." Jiang Yun thought for a while and then walked out of the cabin.
Qin Xiaoxi sighed and found a chair to sit down.
No matter what, they could go out to sea now. She was getting closer and closer to the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma.
Qin Xiaoxi touched the jade pendant she wore on her waist again, and the kind of cordial feeling came again. She touched it gently, as if she was afraid that it would break. She thought to herself.
Sister... You must wait for me. I'm ready to go out to sea. I'll find the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma for you soon and heal your injury.
Qin Xiaoxi rested her head on her hands and looked at the door of the cabin blankly. She didn't know what Jiang Yun was going to buy. He was so mysterious and didn't say anything.

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.
