The crowd was stunned again, and they all looked at Chen Xiao in unison, waiting for him to continue.
Wang Yigeng, however, looked displeased. With his discerning eye, he couldn't see anything more valuable about the seal. Could this young man see more?
He couldn't help but ask, "Young man, what is this more precious aspect you speak of?"
Chen Xiao smiled and did not hide anything. He said directly, "This seal, because it was used by Master Tang, and with the accumulation of time, it has generated spiritual energy. Simply put, this is no longer an ordinary seal, but a spiritual artifact."
"Spiritual artifact?"
Wang Yigeng was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Young man, I can see you are not old, but you are quite superstitious. Heh heh."
Chen Xiao shook his head, "This is not superstition. This spiritual artifact seal can be kept at home for warding off evil, and even under certain specific conditions, it can be used to treat illnesses."
The more Chen Xiao spoke, the stranger it sounded. Not to mention Wang Yigeng, most people present did not believe him and thought he was talking nonsense.
Wang Yigeng found Chen Xiao to be acting strangely and did not want to chat with him further. He said perfunctorily, "Alright, if that's the case, you should keep it well. This place is a mix of people, don't let anyone casually take it."
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Chen Xiao cupped his hands in thanks, but he was not worried at all that someone would dare to casually take his things.
What was said carelessly by one person was heard with intent by another. Someone in the crowd, upon hearing Chen Xiao say the seal was a spiritual artifact, immediately withdrew from the crowd, left the ghost market, and went to report the news.
"Uncle Gu, let's go back."
Chen Xiao put away the seal and was about to leave when the胖摊主 (pàng tān zhǔ - fat stall owner) blocked his way from behind.
"Young man, wait a moment!"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Boss, we've already settled the payment, what else is there? It's getting late, and we're in a hurry to get back."
The fat stall owner sneered and said, "You can leave, but the seal must stay!"
Chen Xiao smiled, "I bought the seal, it's already mine, why should I leave it?"
The fat stall owner's smile immediately vanished, and he cursed loudly, "You're talking nonsense! You only bought that broken piece of iron. I didn't sell you the seal inside, how can you take it away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six burly men rushed out from the house behind him, all with fierce expressions, staring coldly at Chen Xiao and the other person.
With this, the surrounding stall owners instantly understood the fat stall owner's intentions.
"This young man is still too young, he doesn't understand the principle of not showing off wealth. Since he knew there was a treasure inside, why didn't he open it at home? Who wouldn't be envious if it was opened here!"
"Judging by his accent, this young man is from out of town. This is terrible. The duck that was about to fly into his mouth has flown away, and it's worth hundreds of millions!"
The stall owners stood with their arms crossed, looking like they were watching a show. Although they felt it was a pity, no one was willing to speak up for Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked at the burly men opposite him, the corners of his mouth curving upward.
He sneered at the fat stall owner, "It seems that if I don't give it to you, you're going to rob me, right?"
"It's good that you know. Hand over the things quickly, otherwise, you'll have a hard time!"
The fat stall owner no longer pretended and completely turned hostile towards Chen Xiao.
Gu Zhendong watched this scene coldly, not saying a word. He was not worried about Chen Xiao at all; instead, he was very worried about the fat stall owner.
Chen Xiao was already angry, and for this fat stall owner to provoke him, wasn't that courting death?
"What if I don't give it to you? What can you do to me?"
Chen Xiao chuckled playfully, not taking the other party seriously at all.
As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the fat stall owner became furious, "You stinking outsider, today I'll let you see how capable Qingcheng people are! Brothers, go up and kill him, and snatch the things back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, those burly men immediately rushed towards Chen Xiao, letting out low growls.
Chen Xiao didn't even look at the approaching men. With a casual wave of his hand, a surge of energy struck, and the group of men flew out, falling to the ground, unable to get up again.
Seeing this, the fat stall owner was stunned for a moment, but then he grinned sinisterly, "You little brat, I wondered why you dared to be so arrogant? So you have some skills, but it's a pity you shouldn't have crossed Fatty!"
Saying that, the fat stall owner, like a ball of flesh, charged at Chen Xiao and threw a punch, bringing with it a gust of wind.
It could be seen that this fat stall owner was also a martial artist, and his skills were not too weak.
It made sense, if he didn't have some skills, he wouldn't dare to open a black shop in this place and deceive tourists.
However, not weak was relative. The fat stall owner was only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Compared to Chen Xiao... the difference was not a little bit.
Before his fist could land on Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao slapped him away.
*Pa!*
The fat stall owner's body spun several times in mid-air before crashing to the ground with a bang.
He struggled to get up and looked at Chen Xiao with fear in his eyes.
With just one exchange, he knew that Chen Xiao's strength was superior to his, and far superior.
The other stall owners were also dumbfounded and shut their mouths tightly. They knew they had encountered a tough guy today.
Some even slipped away secretly, afraid that this young man would cause trouble for them later.
However, a strong dragon does not oppress a local snake. In the fat stall owner's opinion, this kid was just a stinking outsider. No matter how strong he was, the fat stall owner wouldn't take him seriously.
"You stinking brat, dare to cause trouble here? Do you know who covers this place? This is Brother Leopard's territory! Forget it, you wouldn't know even if I told you. You just wait for me. If Fatty doesn't kill you today, then I've lived in vain!"
Saying that, the fat stall owner took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Brother Leopard, someone is causing trouble in the ghost market. I mentioned your name to him, but not only did it not work, he beat me even harder!"
"Okay, you're coming right over? Good, good, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, the fat stall owner looked at Chen Xiao with arrogance, "You little brat, I'm telling you, you're dead today. If you're sensible, hand over the seal quickly, and then kneel down and apologize to me, otherwise, I won't let you see tomorrow's sun!"
Chen Xiao looked up at the sky and said playfully, "The weather forecast said it will be cloudy all day tomorrow. It seems you might be right. I won't see tomorrow's sun, and neither will you!"
Seeing that Chen Xiao still had the leisure to joke, the fat stall owner became even more enraged.
"Just laugh. Let's see if you can still laugh when Brother Leopard arrives!"
