Chapter 1013: One thousand and eleven, unwavering determination
Lu Hanmo held a luminous pearl the size of a longan in his hand, carefully examining it. As he entered this alley, the Chaos Mountain and River Map within his Purple Mansion suddenly stirred. He could sense the Map’s excitement.
Luo Shu crouched down beside Lu Hanmo and, upon seeing the pearl in his hand, her eyes lit up. "This is a baby!"
"How much is this?" Lu Hanmo looked up and asked the stall owner.
"Twenty gold coins—this is a treasure! It’s a magical artifact used by cultivators," the stall owner said.
"I think it’s just a marble and isn’t very useful. Besides, we’re not cultivators, so even if it’s truly a magical artifact, we won’t be able to use it. If you lower the price, we might buy it back to play with as marbles," Luo Shu interjected.
"I have plenty of pearls like this at home. When we get back, I can give you a few," Shuimu Ye glanced at the pearl in Lu Hanmo’s hand and remarked.
"This pearl is different from the others. If you really like it, I’ll sell it to you for fifteen gold coins—the lowest price. If you don’t want it, that’s fine," the stall owner replied.
Luo Shu took the pearl from Lu Hanmo’s hand and inspected it for a moment. "Alright, fifteen gold coins it is." She handed the pearl back to Lu Hanmo and took out fifteen gold coins to give to the stall owner.
The stall owner gratefully accepted the coins with a smile. "Feel free to look around some more. If you find anything else you like, I’ll give you a discount."
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo browsed the items but didn’t find anything else that interested them. They stood up and moved on to other stalls.
