Chapter 1293 Waiting for the Opportunity (I)
The clerk told him that the treasure was bought back at dusk the day before they arrived at the store. The shopkeeper knew that they would come today, so why would he waste the precious Wanli Chuanyin?
The Wanli Chuanyin would only be used when the treasure was confirmed to be too valuable.
This "Yunfu Wind Pearl" was only suspected, and the probability was only about 40%. Moreover, it was very precious to Jindan cultivators, especially to wind cultivation, so it was not necessary to use the Wanli Chuanyin.
This was obviously Yang Youxian, the bastard, who wanted to buy it at the reserve price first. Even if he didn't need it, if he took it to the auction house in the future, it would definitely be a big hit among wind cultivators.
The "Uncle Liu" mentioned by Yang Youxian was another Yuanying uncle. Cao Liang concluded that Uncle Liu was 99% unaware of this matter, but he couldn't ask a Yuanying cultivator. The other party's excuse made him have no way to refute. ??
However, Yang Youxian might also suffer a big loss if he did this. After all, he was betting that the treasure he bought was real. Even if he bought it at the reserve price, it was relative, and the spiritual stones he had to pay were not cheap.
He didn't dare to get it for free, but he could afford the loss.
Cao Lang saw that Yang Youxian agreed this time, but he still cursed him in his heart. His approach could occasionally work. After all, Yang Youxian couldn't really do it to the extreme.
Sometimes he would let Cao Lang buy the treasure he liked first.
Therefore, Cao Lang still had to say what he should do and say, at least let Yang Youxian remember it first.
After the two flew away from the sea, they flew for several hours and finally reached the "Xianbaofang". Of course, the two of them went straight to the sect shop first.
Yang Youxian went there for his duty, while Cao Liang went there to ask the assistants he had placed there to see if there were any good things to be found, and then go to the market to purchase the things he needed this time.
In the past, the two of them did this every time. Yang Youxian also knew Cao Liang's approach and who in the shop was Cao Liang's people, but he didn't care. The two of them were tacitly aware of each other.
The two of them turned around in the market with familiarity, and after a quarter of an hour, they walked to a shop called "Baohai Mountain".
Before the two of them entered the shop, they saw that many people were coming in and out in front of the shop. This shop of their sect had a good reputation in the market, and many cultivators were still willing to come here to trade.
As soon as the two of them approached the shop, they were seen by two assistants standing outside the door.
"Meet Uncle Yang and Uncle Cao!"
The two assistants were both foundation-building cultivators in the sect. Many disciples like them had no backing in the sect at the beginning, and relied on their own qualifications to cultivate to this level.
But after the foundation-building period, the spiritual stones used for cultivation were far from enough to support their cultivation, so many people formed teams to go out and hunt wind beasts to obtain more spiritual stones.
But there were also disciples who, after spending almost all of their wealth, chose to come to the market to help. Although the spiritual stones obtained here were not as many as those obtained by hunting wind beasts, it was safe.
They wanted to walk the road of immortality and did not want to die so early. Moreover, they could get some benefits here by being close to the water and building first.
"Where is Junior Brother Wu?"
Yang Youxian spoke directly. He did not want to waste more time, so of course he went straight to find the shopkeeper here.
"Oh, Uncle Wu is in Room No. 1, Dizi, meeting a guest!"
One of the waiters answered immediately.
"Oh, he is in Room No. 1, Dizi?"
Yang Youxian's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he hurriedly whispered to confirm again.
"Yes, Master!"
Cao Liang, who was standing by, also had a gleam in his eyes. He glanced at another waiter with the corner of his eye, and the waiter nodded to him imperceptibly.
The two waiters were deliberately soliciting business at the door today. They all knew that the two would come today, and they came out to wait here instead of the other waiters. Everyone knew these things.
Yang Youxian nodded to the waiter, and then said no more. He walked straight into the store, and Cao Liang followed him in immediately.
The store was very wide, divided into three floors. The two of them walked directly to the stairs at the corner.
The first floor usually sells raw materials and treasures used for condensing qi and building foundations, the second floor sells golden elixir-level treasures, and the third floor is for Yuanying cultivators.
In addition to the counter, each floor also has several separate rooms, which are reserved for customers who want to trade treasures alone.
The third floor is numbered from 1 to 5 for the Heavenly Character, the second floor is numbered from 1 to 5 for the Earthly Character, and the first floor is numbered from 1 to 7 for the Human Character.
Usually, the seven rooms on the first floor are used the most, followed by the Earthly Character Rooms. The Heavenly Character Rooms are rarely used. Once used, the Wanli Sound Transmission Note may be used, requiring a Yuanying cultivator from the island to come.
These rooms are also good and bad, such as Room 1, which is the best on that level.
The clerks or shopkeepers here are at least 30% sure of the treasures that the receiving cultivators want to trade, and can be sure that the treasures in the other party's hands are of great value, and bring them to the corresponding rooms.
Today, Shopkeeper Wu, who is in charge here, actually brought the guests directly to Room 1 for the Earthly Character. What does this mean? Yang Youxian and Cao Liang are of course too clear in their hearts, and they can't help but feel excited.
It's just that the place they are going to is not Room 1, but a secret room on the third floor, where if you are willing, you can use the formation to hear the conversations in every wing.
This is a formation set up by the shopkeeper in order to quickly grasp the transaction situation. It is impossible for him to receive individual transactions one by one. Most of them are discussed by other deacons sitting here.
But he also wants to reserve rooms above the second floor, rooms one to three, for transactions, and may secretly instruct the deacons to lower prices or grant them privileged transactions.
In this way, he can directly transmit the message through the secret room, but outsiders will not know about this kind of thing, otherwise they will definitely fall out with them.
Since I chose to trade alone, of course I didn't want more people to know about it. Even if the deacon would mention it to others later, he would at least wait until he left to reduce his own risk.
Yang Youxian and Cao Xun quickly arrived at the third floor. Except for a deacon at the Jindan realm sitting at the counter, there was no one else on the third floor.
It is like this ninety-nine percent of the time here. How can the Yuanying monk show up so easily? On weekdays, this place is just like a decoration.
When the deacon saw the two of them, he immediately stood up. Of course he knew Yang Youxian and the others, so Yang Youxian immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words. The deacon glanced at Cao Xun with some embarrassment.
Although Cao Xun had a smile on his face, he was filled with anger in his heart.
"A bunch of dog-eyed snobs!"
In the shop, people here basically listen to Yang Youxian. Even though Master Cao Xun is also a Nascent Soul monk, he still has no right to instruct them.
Even entering that secret room, only shopkeeper Wu and Yang Youxian here can, and no one else can.
Yang Youxian glanced sideways at Cao Xun, who also followed him.
, it’s really hard for me to refute his face.
After all, Cao Xun's master is also a Nascent Soul monk. Although he is the last Nascent Soul cultivator on the island, he can't give him any face.
He quickly whispered to the butler, then walked directly behind the counter, raised the curtain and walked in. Seeing this, Cao Xun pretended not to see the two whispering, and followed closely.
Behind the curtain are rows of shelves with shining balls on them. Inside the balls are some magic weapons and raw materials.
Cao Xun knew that the things here were quite precious to ordinary golden elixirs, but really good things would not be placed here. Although these spheres also had defenses, they could still be destroyed by the late-stage golden elixir monks.
The two of them quickly walked around the rows of shelves, and soon came to a corner of the house, where there was already a bluestone wall. Yang Youxian took one step forward and hit the bluestone wall.
The next moment, the amber jade bracelet on the wrist in his big sleeves flashed slightly, immediately emitting a halo of light, and the bluestone wall instantly turned into a lake.
His figure disappeared into the wall in the rippling water, and Cao Xun did not dare to neglect, and followed closely.
But at the moment of entering, jealousy appeared deep in his eyes.
This secret room is not only the place where shopkeeper Wu controls the individual trading rooms, but also the place where Yang Youxian and the other party hand over spiritual stones and treasures every time they come over.
Therefore, the other party also had a way to open the ban here.
…………
In Room No. 1, shopkeeper Wu, who was slightly fatter in stature, looked at the man in black robe in front of him. He had a skinny figure and a pair of triangular eyes, which indicated that he was very shrewd.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this treasure has been badly damaged. You said it was a magic weapon used by Yuanying monks. I don't deny that it might have been one in the past, but now its absolute grade is only mid-level.
The price you mentioned cannot be sold in any market here. I sincerely want to complete this transaction with fellow Taoist.
Friends Dao Jiang came here, and they must have inquired about the reputation of the shop. After all, our sect has many golden elixir monks and has been fighting wind beasts all year round, so we need this magic weapon, so I offered a high price of four thousand spiritual stones. "
Shopkeeper Wu had a look of helplessness on his face, and then he glanced at the table between the two of them, where a black inkstone was placed.
The surface of the black inkstone has a dull luster, and is even filled with a certain smell of blood, as if it has been corroded, but one can still sense a hint of Confucian awe-inspiring righteousness.
The thin man with triangular eyes opposite Shopkeeper Wu rolled his strange eyes and curled his mouth.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I really came here after asking about it, and I also asked someone to appraise this magic weapon. This is a magic weapon that has been nurtured by Confucian Nascent Soul monks.
You can also sense the awe-inspiring righteousness above. Based on this alone, the ten thousand spirit stones I offered are not an exaggeration.
Not everyone can cultivate Haoran's righteousness and Buddhist mind power, but you opened your mouth and cut off half of it without saying anything, and you also pressed down a thousand spiritual stones. Hehehe, your business methods are a bit... …”
The thin man with triangular eyes was Li Yan, and at this moment Gong Shanhe had disappeared. Li Yan once again reported the name of Jiang Hai, who had been tricked by him and could no longer die.
As for whether Shopkeeper Wu believed it or not, he didn't care.
Of course he came here to wait for his target to appear, so he took out a magic weapon at random, which was Qi Jingheng's inkstone magic weapon.
Back then in the swamp
At that time, after being eroded by the blood energy of the red-robed man who dripped blood, Li Yan had no time to repair it in the past few years, but the inkstone slowly recovered on its own.
After all, the bloody cold power is rootless water, and the magic weapon itself is still spiritual.
Listening to the words of the fat shopkeeper opposite, Li Yanzhi sneered in his heart. It is true that all businessmen are cunning. This magic weapon is obviously a high-level magic weapon.
Moreover, he did not want to take out a better magic weapon to trade and cover it up, so as not to be inconsistent with his identity, and this corroded magic weapon is just right.
If he said that he got it by accident, the other party would not doubt it.
But the other party was really black. A high-level Confucian magic weapon was priced at 4,000 low-level spirit stones.
Li Yan can be sure that this inkstone magic weapon can be sold at least nearly 30,000 in this damaged state.
But he has to pretend that he is not sure about the value of the magic weapon. After all, this magic weapon looks severely damaged, and he is only a cultivator in the Jindan realm.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you hit the nail on the head. You are an expert. There is indeed a great sense of righteousness here.
But because of this, after the shop acquires this magic weapon, there will be restrictions on the sale. It may not be sold for ten or fifty years after acquiring it today.
There are not many Confucian monks traveling outside, especially in our Fengshen Continent. Confucian monks have been invited to go there, specifically targeting some special wind beasts.
After we acquire this magic weapon, the shop will have to spend a lot of money to repair it. If it cannot be sold for decades, it will take up too many spiritual stones. After all, business is about goods coming and going, and they cannot be kept in your hands..."
Shopkeeper Wu immediately began to talk nonstop, and while he was talking, he did not notice that Li Yan's face was unbelieving, and a gleam of light quietly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Because in his mind, Gong Shanhe's voice rang out.
"People are coming and have entered the shop!"
He listened to Shopkeeper Wu talk for more than ten breaths, and Li Yan interrupted Shopkeeper Wu.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I came to your shop because I needed to sell it urgently. Now I think we may not be able to reach an agreement.
As you said, this magic weapon needs to be sold by a specific cultivator. So I think it is better to let the auction house auction it. It will be much easier for Confucian cultivators to find it.
I will definitely get the price I want. At most, I will wait for a while."
When Li Yan said this, he reached out to take the black inkstone on the table. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wu just smiled faintly and stopped talking. He let Li Yan put the thing away.
Li Yan stopped talking and stood up and walked towards the door.
Shopkeeper Wu behind him had a gleam in his eyes, and his mind was racing.
"Hmm? Is he really going to leave? He doesn't plan to sell it, or..."
He is very familiar with this kind of hard-to-get tactics. Many customers often do this.
So, he counted in his heart, but until Li Yan pushed the door out, the other party did not look back.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang, why are you so anxious!
Let's put it this way, you came to our store by chance, and if there are treasures in the future, can you still consider our store first? I can offer 7,000 spirit stones, how about it?"
The voice of Shopkeeper Wu came faintly from behind, and Li Yan's figure, which had already taken a step, paused slightly. He turned his head and glanced back with a pair of triangular eyes.
"Ten thousand, otherwise, don't say anything!"
