Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 59 Sheathed Dagger
Jiang Xuan put away the black rhino spear he had thrown in the previous battle and walked towards Sha Lao.

When Mr. Sha saw Jiang Xuan approaching from afar, he turned his head to look at the veiled young woman next to him. Although the veil was covering her, Mr. Sha could still see a hint of uneasiness between her slightly furrowed brows.

"Have you taken the inner elixir?" Old Sha asked before Jiang Xuan came close.

"I got it. It's the second-level inner elixir." Jiang Xuan answered cheerfully with brisk steps.

After hunting for a few days in the forest north of Qizhou City, he encountered several second-level ferocious beasts, but except for the giant bone wolf he met at the beginning, the other second-level ferocious beasts only had first-level inner cores. This was the second second-level inner core that Jiang Xuan had obtained after entering this forest.

The energy contained within the inner core of fierce beasts is of great benefit to the cultivation of cultivators. Although warriors cannot condense true qi, the special function of the inner core of fierce beasts in refining medicine determines its extremely high value in the warrior world.

Although there is only one level difference between the inner elixir of a first-level ferocious beast and the inner elixir of a second-level ferocious beast, the value is hugely different.

In some larger auction houses, an ordinary first-level ferocious beast's inner core may be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of taels, while a second-level ferocious beast's inner core may be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels.

I heard that some special second-level ferocious beast inner cores were sold at a high price of hundreds of thousands of taels due to their special nature.

In this case, the two second-level ferocious beast inner cores that Jiang Xuan obtained are worth at least tens of thousands of taels at the auction.

"Miss, my name is Jiang Xuan. It seems that you are not a warrior, right?" Jiang Xuan walked up to Mr. Sha and the veiled young woman and clasped his fists towards the woman.

When the woman saw Jiang Xuan approaching, she was about to pay her respects to him, but her calf, which had not yet healed, started bleeding again because she struggled hard.

"Miss, you can't do that." Jiang Xuan naturally saw the woman's intention. As a warrior, his reaction speed was much faster than that of the woman. He quickly took a step forward, held the woman's arm, and helped her up.

The woman was naturally a little persistent, but in the face of the warrior's power, she gave up her original idea.

This scene reminded Jiang Xuan of the day in Qingxi Town when he had saved someone from a second-level beast. That day, Jiang Xian was by his side, but now it was Old Sha.

"I wonder if Jiang Xian has gone to Qingxi Town to hunt again." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

"Cough cough." Realizing that his thoughts had wandered too far, Jiang Xuan coughed twice and looked at the young woman in front of him with a smile.

"Ning Wei is indeed not a warrior. She had to enter this forest. Unexpectedly, she was targeted by a ferocious beast. If it weren't for Young Master Jiang and this old gentleman who rescued her, Ning Wei would have died here long ago." Ning Wei said to the two people in front of her with gratitude on her face.

"It's just a small favor, thank you for your kindness, young lady." Jiang Xuan replied politely.

"Ning Wei is not someone who doesn't appreciate a favor, but something urgent has happened. I need to rush to Qizhou City as soon as possible." Ning Wei took out a small jade token and handed it to Jiang Xuan, saying, "There is a manor due north of this forest, south of Lingzhou. I will stay in Qizhou City for a few days and will return. You two can use this as a token of trust."

Jiang Xuan was about to speak when he saw the young woman take out another jade bottle and handed it to him. It seemed familiar.

"Ning Wei has thought about it and decided to return this bottle of medicine to Young Master Jiang." The young woman said softly.

"Give it back?" Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and looked at Old Sha who was standing beside him. At this time, Old Sha was looking to the side, watching casually.

Jiang Xuan naturally knew the general idea and said with a smile: "There are still a lot of these pills, young lady, just accept them." "Yes, yes, accept them." Old Sha also echoed.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan had no intention of taking the jade bottle back, Ning Wei put it away and bowed to Jiang Xuan and the other man.

Jiang Xuan looked at the small jade token in his hand, not knowing whether he should take it or not.

Just take it. He was just saving someone. If Miss Ning Wei hadn't shown up, hunting a second-level ferocious beast would have been a task he needed to complete. How could he have the nerve to ask for benefits?
If I don’t accept it, even though it’s just a convenient thing to do, it really saved the girl. If I don’t accept it, it would seem that I don’t appreciate the girl’s kindness, and I’m afraid that she will be embarrassed.

"In that case, I will accept this jade token on behalf of my apprentice." Old Sha took the small jade token from Jiang Xuan's hand and said to Ning Wei with a kind face.

Seeing that Old Sha accepted the jade token for the hesitant Jiang Xuan, Ning Wei smiled faintly and nodded to Old Sha.

"Master? When did I become your disciple?" Jiang Xuan muttered in his heart, then turned to look at Old Sha.

At this moment, Old Sha put on the posture of a master and said to Jiang Xuan in a deep voice, "Jiang Xuan, since this girl is going to Qizhou City, you must save her to the end and send her to Qizhou City."

Hearing what Sha Lao said, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt helpless, but he couldn't say anything. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Sha Lao, "Sha Lao, what are the conditions of those two second-level beasts?"

"Let's talk about it next time." Old Sha waved his hand.

"Girl, my apprentice has good leg strength. Your leg injury has not healed yet, so I want him to carry you to Qizhou City. Are you willing?" Old Sha appeared in front of Ning Wei and asked.

Jiang Xuan wanted to say something, but then thought: This girl had a calf injury. Walking on her own would not only be very slow, but would also easily aggravate the injury. And now that there was no mount nearby, he could only rely on hugging, carrying, or carrying her on his back. Of these, carrying her on his back was definitely the most convenient method. So he kept silent and waited for Ning Wei's response.

"Old sir, it's a long way from here to Qizhou City, I'm afraid..." Ning Wei answered softly. A breeze blew past, and her slightly red cheeks could be seen under her veil.

"The girl is not a warrior, so she may not know much about the situation of warriors. My apprentice is a heavenly-level warrior, so this distance is nothing for him." Old Sha patted Jiang Xuan's shoulder and said to Ning Wei.

Ning Wei lowered her head slightly and looked at Jiang Xuan. Seeing that he was very calm, she said, "In that case, thank you, Young Master Jiang."

"Leave the spear and the fine iron armor behind. Take the knife with you." Old Sha pointed to a knife not far away.

Jiang Xuan looked in the direction of Sha Lao's finger and found a short knife with a brown sheath hanging on a relatively low branch not far away.

However, the knife was shorter than an ordinary dagger and did not look delicate in appearance. No one knew where Mr. Sha found it.

However, since we are going to leave the Black Rhino Spear and the Swallow Spear behind, it is always good to have a weapon for self-defense.

Jiang Xuan took off the two spears, hung the short knife on the side of his waist, and then took off the terrifyingly heavy iron armor. Ning Wei on his back disappeared from Sha Lao's sight.
