Following the passerby's directions, they arrived at a bustling street area.
As soon as he entered, he saw an ancient looking gate. The gate was shaped like an ancient wooden gate, and above the gate was a blue signboard with three words written on it in traditional characters: Chinatown.
The distance from here to Zhang Family headquarters was about 200 kilometers, and they had already left the area of influence of Zhang Family, but it was also not far from the area of influence of Zhang Family, so this was the safest place.
If it was too far, others might discover it, but if it was closer, it would be at the foot of the Zhang Family. They might not be able to make a turn, and that was the safest place to be.
"Is this Chinatown?" Yan Ying said excitedly. Looking at the decorations, Yan Ying felt a sense of familiarity.
Here in the country, the streets were filled with English characters, making them look very uncomfortable.
However, in Chinatown, the signboard was filled with Chinese characters, giving people a sense of familiarity.
Most of them spoke Mandarin on the way, but Yan Ying didn't feel like they were from a foreign land.
"What are we going to do now?" Yan Ying asked Xu Fann.
After all, they were in a foreign land, so no matter how strong they were, they would still feel lonely. Therefore, Yan Ying subconsciously wanted to see Xu Fann's opinion.
First, find a house to settle in. It would be best to find a secluded place. Xu Fann said slowly. But now, there was one more thing he had to do.
As Xu Fann spoke, he pulled out a shiny golden stone. It was a golden stone.
He wanted to use this gold in exchange for some US dollars in exchange for his normal expenses. Although he wanted to hide, he still had to eat. The two of them had no money on them, so they could only take these things to exchange for money.
Moreover, renting a house also required money, and this wasn't an exchange of items in the cultivation world. One still had to rely on money to open up a path.
"What are you doing?" Yan Ying asked doubtfully.
"Of course I'll trade it for money!" Xu Fann smiled mysteriously. This girl was probably stupid, she probably hasn't come out for a long time to experience the life of an ordinary person, and didn't even know how to spend money to buy things.
"Oh, I see!" Yan Ying suddenly realized something. Seeing Xu Fann's playful eyes, she stomped her feet and scolded, "Are you looking down on me? Prove that I am a bumpkin? "
"No!" How could I say that you're a bumpkin? " Xu Fann quickly shook his head and walked to the center of Chinatown.
He didn't want to waste any more time with Yan Ying. He would rather face ten hunters than deal with a woman.
In Xu Fann's eyes, dealing with enemies was much easier than dealing with women.
There were a lot of pedestrians on Chinatown. Every year, visitors from all over the world would come and visit. People came and went on the streets, and occasionally, people could be heard speaking Chinese or even Sichuan, which made Xu Fann feel very close to him.
After strolling around for a while, they finally found a pawnshop. The two of them walked to the front of the pawnshop.
The pawnshop was very small, about the size of a student dormitory, but the decorations inside were very classical. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a jade screen with a picture of a lady painted on it.
Xu Fann walked through the screen and arrived in front of a counter. On the counter, there was an old man wearing reading glasses and a black Chinese suit. Xu Fann walked through the screen and arrived in front of a counter.
"Cough cough!" Are you the boss? " Xu Fann's voice interrupted the old man's thoughts.
"Oh, oh! "I'm the boss. If you want to buy something, just look at it. If you see anything, just tell me." The boss raised his head and looked at Xu Fann and Yan Ying before lowering his head to look at the item in his hand.
The boss' reaction made Xu Fann and Yan Ying at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. This wasn't just doing business, it was driving them away.
Looking at the boss's expression, Xu Fann felt a sense of familiarity. In the end, he suddenly remembered, "Isn't this the look of those primary school students inside the internet cafe who are addicted to games?" The more Xu Fann thought about it, the more similar he felt.
"Sigh!" "Old man, we're not here to buy, I'm here to sell." Yan Ying said bluntly.
"You little girl!" The boss helplessly looked at Yan Ying. He put down the things in his hands and said, "I don't have junk here. What I want are antiques or other precious items."
"Don't worry!" I'll definitely satisfy you! " Yan Ying said confidently as she turned around to look at Xu Fann.
Xu Fann nodded and pretended to reach into his pocket. He was putting something out of the Storage Space.
Xu Fann took out a fist-sized piece of gold from his storage and put it on the table.
The boss had initially been a bit careless, but the golden light almost blinded him.
"Holy shit!" Where are you guys going to find such a huge amount of gold? " He picked up the gold and examined it carefully with a magnifying glass.
After a while, the boss raised his head and said with some surprise, "This piece of gold is very pure. It's rare to see a natural piece of gold having such high purity."
In fact, the owner guessed wrongly, this wasn't a natural gold, but the leftover corner material from Xu Fann's refining process. Perhaps it was due to the magic technique, but this corner material seemed to be natural.
Gold was actually not that precious when it came to Celestial Realm cultivation, so this piece of gold was not worth much.
When many cultivators came out to gain experience, they would choose to represent a few pieces of gold in preparation for an emergency.
"Are you really going to sell this piece of gold to me?" The boss said in disbelief.
The boss thought for a moment and decided to tell them the truth. "This piece of gold is very pure. If you go to a special place to sell it, you will get a price five levels higher than mine. I hope you can consider it."
"No need!" Xu Fann shook his head and refused.
The reason why he was staying here was mainly to hide things from others so that they wouldn't be discovered. It didn't matter even if the price was a little less since there was a lot of gold.
For Xu Fann, this little thing wasn't enough for him to make a trip, not to mention the risk of being exposed.
"Alright then! I think all of you are in need of money! "How about this, I'll raise the price a bit more and buy it back with 80% of the market price. I'll give you guys 80 thousand dollars."
The boss was very honest and told Xu Fann the truth instead of trying to deceive Xu Fann.
If this item were to be sold in other pawnshops, the other owners would probably sell it at a lower price.
"Thank you so much!" Xu Fann said with a smile, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, boss, do you have any place to rent? We want to rent a house."
