Chapter 169: News of the Strange Stone From Outside the Territory

? Listening to the argument between the two, and looking at the performance of the little black fat man, Ye Zan seemed to understand something.

"Fellow Taoist, it sounds like there is really something wrong with this store. I wonder if you can explain it to me in detail." Ye Zan asked the young man curiously.

"I..." The young man was a bit reluctant to talk about it, after all, he didn't show his face when he said it. However, when he turned his head to take a closer look, surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly turned around and said solemnly: "It turns out that it is Zongshi Ye and Zongshi Liu. I met the two alchemy masters in Fu Zong Lan Mingyu in Xiatian. Grandmaster."

It's not surprising that Ye Zan and Liu Gan were recognized. The two are new alchemy masters in this alchemy conference. Although they won't be famous in a short time, at least in this ancient city, there are few people who don't recognize them.

"Oh, fellow daoist Lan, you are being polite. It turns out that fellow daoist is a member of the Tianfu sect. I have had several exchanges with fellow daoist Li Chongwen of the noble sect, and I have benefited a lot from the way of talismans." Ye Zan heard the other party's The Tianfu Sect disciple immediately thought of Li Chongwen who he met in Tiandao Mountain.

"Zongshi Ye actually recognizes Senior Brother Li of our sect!" Lan Mingyu became more enthusiastic when he heard this, as if he was an old friend in a foreign land.

"Don't call me a master anymore. We'll be about the same age, just call each other fellow daoists." Ye Zan waved his hand, then picked up the previous topic, and asked, "Friend daoist said just now that he was cheated by this shop. , I don’t know what’s going on, if you don’t mind, can you tell me.”

Lan Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the female cultivator next to him.

The female cultivator smiled faintly, bowed to Ye Zan and the others, and said, "Shen Yundie of the Tianfu Sect has met several fellow Taoists. Since Senior Brother Lan is embarrassed to talk about this matter, let me talk about it."

Ye Zan returned the salute and said, "Then there will be fellow Daoists."

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother Lan is a bit greedy about this matter." Shen Yun narrated the matter with a voice like a bird's cry.

It turned out that the methods used by the little black fat man were similar to those used against Ye Zan and the others. When Lan Mingyu thought that the ready-made insect nests were not good, he took out the strange stone from outside the territory with an excuse, and then acted as if he didn't know how to do business, demoting the strange stone from outside the territory again and again.

And Lan Mingyu, just like what Shen Yundie said, saw this situation and thought that he had missed it, so he insisted on buying that strange stone from outside the region. And when bargaining, he proudly used the little black fat man's own words to lower the price layer by layer.

Who would have imagined that after taking back this strange stone from outside the territory, Lan Mingyu found that he really couldn't handle this thing, and whatever he put in it would instantly absorb all his aura. At the same time, thinking of the behavior of the little black fat man, he also knew that because of greed,

He was calculated by the little black fat man.

Although Lan Mingyu was born in the Tianfu Sect, he was not a local tyrant. He spent almost all of his wealth buying this strange stone from outside the region. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a loss, so he brought the stone to the little black fat man and asked him to return the broken stone.

But the little black fat man is of course unwilling to return the product, saying that he told me about those problems before, and you, Lan Mingyu, insisted on buying it. Anyway, I didn’t tell a single lie. It doesn’t make sense. .

Strictly speaking, this little black fat man is indeed not cheating. Even if the lawsuit goes to the administrator of the ancient city, this little black fat man is definitely justified. Of course, Lan Mingyu also understood this, so instead of going to the ancient city manager to file a complaint, he asked the little black fat man to return the product.

After listening to Shen Yundie's narration, Lan Mingyu next to him was already blushing. Ye Zan smiled and said, "Friend Lan, when everyone is mistaken, it's not a big deal. However, what do you say? This strange stone makes me a little curious, may I have a look?"

"Hey, I kind of understand what it means to be stunned by Li Lingzhi. Fellow Daoists, please take a look, it's this broken stone." Lan Mingyu sighed, and handed the stone in his hand to Ye Zan.

Ye Zan took the stone and looked at it. Compared with the one he bought at the beginning, there is no difference in appearance, except for some differences in shape.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Zan raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Lan, to be honest, I'm also a little interested in this stone. Don't you want to return it? I think it's better to just pass it on to me."

"Ah!" Lan Mingyu was a little surprised, glanced at Shen Yundie beside him, and then at the stone in Ye Zan's hand, as if he hesitated again.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, don't worry. If you don't want to, forget it. I'm just curious." Ye Zan said while handing the stone back, as if he was really just curious about the stone.

At this time, Shen Yundie spoke again, and said to Lan Mingyu: "Brother Lan, no matter what the stone is, even if it is a treasure, it is just a useless stone in your hands. Since you are interested, fellow Daoist Ye, what else do you have?" I’m so hesitant, I really thought Fellow Daoist Ye was trying to pick up the leak from you.”

After hearing this, Lan Mingyu finally nodded, and said helplessly: "You Daoist Ye, I have already told you about the stone. If you are really interested, then I will pass it on to you."

After asking the price, Ye Zan still paid the bill with Lingshi and bought Lan Mingyu's stone. But speaking of it, Lan Mingyu's stone is much cheaper than the one he bought.

When Lan Mingyu and Shen Yundie left, Ye Zan turned to look at the little black fat man, weighed the stone in his hand, and said, "Don't you think we should say something?"

"Ah, what, I, I don't quite understand what you mean." The little black fat man pretended to be dazed and said.

Ye Zan smiled, walked slowly to the little black fat man, shook the stone in his hand, and said, "Why did another strange stone come out?"

"Oh, what are you talking about!" The little black fat man immediately showed an expression of enlightenment, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, I have never said before that there is only one strange stone in this foreign land."

"..." Ye Zan thought about it for a while, and it was true. The little black fat man only said that it was a strange stone from outside the territory, but he and others instinctively thought that this thing was extremely rare and there was only one piece. But in fact, judging from this meaning, I am afraid that these strange stones from outside the territory are not just these two pieces.

"Okay then, just tell me, how many strange stones like this do you have?" Ye Zan asked helplessly.

"Well, why are you asking this?" The little black fat man scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"You don't care what I'm asking. Aren't you in business? Just sell your stuff." Ye Zan said angrily.

The little black fat man rolled his eyes, and with a smile on his face, he said, "It's just these two pieces, nothing more."

However, when Ye Zan saw the other party's expression, he knew that the other party was not telling the truth, so he said: "The girl's words just now are actually suitable for you. If you really think this thing is a treasure, then you can be a treasure yourself. Of course , I believe that things about this stone will spread quickly in this ancient city. At that time, I hope you will meet someone like me or that fellow daoist Lan, willing to buy this thing at a high price."

After speaking, Ye Zan put away the newly bought exotic stone, turned around to greet Liu Gan and Qi Qianjun, and was about to leave.

Seeing that Ye Zan and the others were about to leave the door, the little black fat man couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, guest officer, please stay."

Ye Zan stopped, turned around and asked, "Why, but what did you remember?"

"Hey, guest officer, forgive me!" The little black fat man smiled awkwardly, and said: "Guest officer, I really didn't lie to you, I really only have these two stones here. But don't worry, I will There should still be a few pieces at my grandfather's place, if you need them, how about I ask my grandfather to send the stones to you?"

"How long?" Ye Zan asked.

"This..." The little black fat man made some calculations and said, "It's probably only a month or two."

"One or two months?" Ye Zan could wait, but he didn't want to wait. He asked, "Are you sure how much money your grandpa has? If it's only one or two dollars, then I'm too lazy to wait so long."

"I can't be sure about this. How much I can have depends on my grandfather...he didn't tell me." The little black fat man was probably a little dazed by the big deal, and he almost missed it in a moment. what.

Although the little black fat man changed his words in time, Ye Zan heard something wrong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Where did your grandfather find this stone?"

"No, no, it's from my family..." The little black fat man casually made up a reason, but he felt that it was a little hard to win people's trust, so his voice couldn't help but slightly lowered.

"That's good, where is your grandfather, you take me there right now. I don't care if the stone is picked up by you casually, or it is a real ancestral thing, as much as I have, and the price will not lose you. "Ye Zan was speaking, took out a few high-grade spirit stones, and waved them in front of the little black fat man.

Seeing the high-grade spirit stone, the little black fat man's eyes straightened immediately, he swallowed hard, and said, "This, not so, not so well, our village is in the Hundred Barren Mountains, and the road is very rough and difficult to walk."

"Cultivators are still afraid of rough roads? Let me just ask, do you want to do this business?" Ye Zan said indifferently. Just kidding, practitioners in this world can go up and down even in the foundation building state, so what cares about the rough road?

"You, really want to buy this stone?" The little black fat man couldn't believe that someone would pay such a high price for such a strange stone.

"Ming told you, this stone is useful to me, but it is useless to you, or to other people. If you want to kill a knife, you can try it. At most, it will be broken." Ye Zan was straightforward. Said without hiding his interest in stones. In fact, it's useless to hide it. Even a fool can see it. If there's no interest, why would it be like this?

"Ha, how is it possible? We mountain people always pay attention to genuine products at a fair price when doing business." The little black fat man said hastily.

"Then tell me, why is there such a difference in the prices of these two stones?" Ye Zan asked.

"Well, haha, then what, shall we leave now?" The little black fat man immediately changed the subject in embarrassment.
