X-Dragon Era

Chapter 150 Chapters 128-129: The Anxiety of Gain and Loss

Feeling that incomparably pure energy flow, Xin Yun grew more and more excited. Although these energies were useless to him, if he could convert them into the azure Water Series Origin Energy, then...Although it was still very rudimentary, even primitive, there was no doubt that this was the most basic form of an Energy Gathering Array. This re

Facing the elder's words, Xin Yun broke a sweat, thinking that this request...

Indeed, this was the mark of a researcher, which was why nobody had taken notice; such a seemingly useless object rarely attracted interest.

However, Xin Yun, being from Earth, understood very well that technology is the primary productive force. These unremarkable inventions could bring unimaginable benefits once research was successful!

During his musing, Xin Yun said, trembling, "Your request is reasonable, but I want to know, if you truly achieve results from your research, how do you plan to handle this achievement?"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the elder scratched his head and said, "Didn't I tell you? Just provide a place for me, and then supply the materials I need. I don't care about anything else, and I don't have the mind to. I just want to focus on this research."

"Alright..." Xin Yun nodded decidedly and said, "Since that's the case, let's agree. I will meet all your requests, and... any research achievement you make will bear your name."

Pleased, the elder nodded and continued, "That's good, that's good... But the place I need must be quiet, and the materials for the experiment, you must deliver them to me in time so my research won't be interrupted."

Smiling at the elder, Xin Yun respectfully said, "By the way, I haven't yet asked for your esteemed name..."

Face to face with Xin Yun's question, the older man smacked his forehead and chuckled, "I am called Xi Ming, but you can call me Old Xi."

Smiling, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "That won't do. Your discovery is truly remarkable, even great. Therefore... from now on, I will call you Master Xi Ming, hehe..."

"Master Xi Ming!" Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the elder was thrilled. It seemed... he was much like the researchers on Earth, not caring about money, but valuing fame greatly.

Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Alright, now that it's settled, let's quickly pack up and leave. Rest assured, I will supply you with the research site and all the materials you need promptly."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the elder didn't waste words. He grabbed a leather bag from behind his stall and packed the dozen or so white stones, considering the matter settled.

When Xin Yun and Master Xi Ming returned to their own stall, it was still bustling with people. Seeing this, Xin Yun didn't join the crowd but pulled Master Xi Ming to sit down in a corner to chat and wait.

A few hours later, the crowd at the marketplace finally began to dissipate. As the stalls started closing one by one, Xin Yun quickly led Master Xi Ming back to the stall.

Seeing Xin Yun return with an unkempt old man, Yi Luo Xiang and the others were greatly surprised. It was only after Xin Yun had explained that they realized this unassuming elder was a sage!

So-called sages were those with great wisdom, often discovering things and patterns that others couldn't. However... while sages in the past mostly discovered abilities and combat techniques related to dragons, this sage was playing with a few stones, quite a different scope, but still, he counted as one of the sages.

The group packed up the stall and then went to eat a late-night meal before hurrying back to the shop to sort out the day's earnings. They didn't reckon much of it at first, but upon tallying up, everyone was astonished!
