"Okay, this handsome young man offers twenty taels of silver!"
Seeing someone bidding, the old fisherman looked happy, rubbed his dark palms full of calluses excitedly, and shouted loudly.
However, the middle-aged man's face became anxious, he bowed and clasped his fists and begged: "Sir, this golden carp was entrusted to me by an old god in a dream, and it is a life-saving thing for my son."
"Without this thing, my son will not survive for more than a few days. I beg you, sir, to help me and don't compete with me."
If it were given to your children, I'm afraid the entire people of Yuhang wouldn't be able to live for more than a few days.
This is not a dream entrusted by an old god, it is clearly a dream entrusted by the living king of hell.
Xu Xian was full of curses in his heart, but he still said calmly: "It is nonsense that a carp can save lives, and it may not be true if the immortal tells him a dream."
"As the saying goes, you think about it every day and dream about it at night. You worry about your child's health all day long. Dreaming about the advice of an old god may be just a fantasy in your heart."
"I am a doctor. If you can trust me, I will treat your child without taking any money."
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly when he heard this. After looking Xu Xian up and down for a moment, he shook his head firmly and said, "Last night's dream was very real. I still remember the old god's advice. All the old god's words have come true. I believe in the old god."
After a pause, he continued: "Sir, thank you for your kindness. It's not that I don't believe in your medical skills. It's just that I have asked many older men in the city to treat my children, but they were all helpless."
Doctoring is a profession that relies on qualifications and experience. The older you are, the more reliable you are.
Xu Xian was young, and he obviously did not believe that Xu Xian could cure his own child.
The people watching the excitement began to whisper.
Some people think that Xu Xian should not bid with a middle-aged man for this life-saving thing.
Some people think that Xu Xianyan's medical skills must be mediocre at such a young age.
Xu Xian didn't care about this and didn't bother to explain.
Just look at the old fisherman selling fish.
Seeing this, the old fisherman coughed slightly and grinned: "This handsome young man offers twenty taels of silver. If there is no higher bid, the golden carp will be sold to this handsome young man."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly froze, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
Ten taels of silver was all he had accumulated for half his life, and he could no longer afford any extra money.
In the end, this seemingly extraordinary golden carp was bought by Xu Xian.
The old fisherman grinned, took the money happily, and happily handed a carp with golden scales to Xu Xian.
Xu Xian did not leave immediately after taking the golden carp. Instead, he looked calmly and said to the middle-aged man: "My medicine shop is called Baoan Tang. It is on Chengnan West Street. If you are willing to believe me, you can come to the medicine shop to find me. I still won’t take any money.”
The middle-aged man glanced at the golden carp in Xu Xian's hand, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
For some reason, facing Xu Xian, who was bidding against him to buy the life-saving golden carp, he only felt a little resentment in his heart, but could not bring up any hatred.
After a moment of silence, he nodded: "Okay, thank you sir for your kindness."
Xu Xian nodded slightly, and then left with the golden carp worth twenty taels of silver in the eyes of everyone.
…
Not long after.
Xu Xian came to a relatively quiet place by the West Lake.
He leaned over and squatted by the lake embankment, holding the golden carp in both hands and looking at it eye to eye.
Strangely enough, when the golden carp was in the hands of the old fisherman, his body struggled violently.
Once in his hands, it became extremely docile.
As if he knew Xu Xian wanted to save it, he let him hold it in his hands without any resistance.
"Tsk, tsk, this is the Dragon Girl of West Lake..."
Xu Xian looked at the golden carp with its lips slightly opened and closed in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This carp has fine golden scales all over its body, and it does look a bit extraordinary with its brilliant golden color, but Xu Xian did not sense any strange aura on it.
If it weren't for the system prompt, he would never have believed that this golden carp was the West Lake Dragon Girl, a little female dragon.
However, if you hold it in your hand and observe carefully, you can indeed see that the eyes of this golden carp are full of spirituality.
Just like when Xu Xian's fingers brushed the soft belly of the fish just now.
There was a hint of human shyness in Jin Li's eyes, and he glared at Xu Xian with a coquettish look.
Xu Xian was so frightened that he almost threw the golden carp into the West Lake on the spot, then turned around and ran away.
"Xiao Yu'er, I think you are quite intelligent, so I'll let you go."
"If you are willing to let me put you into the West Lake, just blink your eyes."
Xu Xian said calmly with a gentle smile that was harmless to humans and animals.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Li's dark golden eyes flashed one after another.
Ordinary fish don't have eyelids, but this golden carp does, and it looks very cute when it blinks continuously.
Seeing this, Xu Xian smiled knowingly and slowly put the golden carp in his hand into the lake.
As soon as the golden carp entered the water, it quickly moved its tail and swam happily in the lake.
After a moment, it turned around and looked at Xu Xian on the shore. The fish opened and closed its lips and spit out a series of bubbles.
Xu Xian vaguely felt that the golden carp was not saying thank you, but rather scolding.
"Be careful in the future and don't get caught by fishermen again."
Xu Xian smiled slightly, then put his hands into the lake water, rubbing them gently to wash away some mucus left in his hands from catching fish.
Seeing this scene, Jin Li's pupils widened, his lips opened and closed, and bubbles came out of his mouth more frequently.
Xu Xian was rubbing his hands and turning a deaf ear to the bubble-blowing golden carp.
The golden carp spat bubbles in the water for a while and then stopped. After rising to the surface and looking at Xu Xian for a few breaths, it flicked its tail and disappeared into the deep water.
【Ding! Doing a good deed every day, helping the West Lake Dragon Girl escape from murder, and completing the task of saving innocent people in Yuhang City. Congratulations to the host for gaining 2,000 merit points. 】
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning more than 5,000 merit points from doing good deeds. The title of 'Man of Merit' has been promoted to the intermediate level. 】
After the words fell, Xu Xian's eyes glowed with a golden light.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a huge warm current pouring into his body, quickly spreading to his limbs and bones, and his whole body felt warm.
"hiss……"
At this moment, Xu Xian felt that his whole body was clear, and every pore was relaxing. He was extremely comfortable, as if he was about to become an immortal.
This is the first time that I received a reward of two thousand merit points at once.
However, this generous merit reward was also expected by him. Not only did he save the West Lake Dragon Girl, but he also indirectly avoided a disaster in Yuhang City.
"Two thousand merits... Now you can spend it properly, ten draws in a row... to upgrade your cultivation..."
The golden light in Xu Xian's eyes gradually dimmed, but his eyes became brighter.
The merit points accumulated by knocking on wooden fish in recent days, coupled with the merit points rewarded by this mission, will definitely bring about a big improvement.
The promotion of the title 'Man of Merit' to the intermediate level is also a surprise.
Xu Xian has long discovered that the effect of this title is very useful. It has a favorable impression on all living creatures and can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Now that it has been upgraded to the intermediate level, the effect will be greatly enhanced.
