Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 58: Bluffing
Behind the counter of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce stood a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He glanced at Yun Che who walked in. Even though he was wearing a weird outfit, his eyes remained unmoved and he said expressionlessly: "Buy or not?" Sell?"
Yun Che didn't waste any time, raised his right hand, slapped three red pills on the counter, and said in a cold voice: "Three Fire Spirit Pills, make an offer!"
Those three crimson elixirs were Fire Spirit Pills that Yun Che had tempered from the Fire Spirit Grass that he had picked up in Yanlong Cave before.
"Fire Spirit Pill?" The clerk's stiff face finally showed a little movement. He picked up one and touched it lightly with his fingers. Suddenly his expression changed and he said in a voiceless voice: "Ten...100% Fire Spirit Pill! !”
The formation of an elixir requires the collection and storage of materials, the selection of refining tools, the control of fire and the techniques of tempering, and these processes may be accompanied by the loss of the medicine's power. Especially in the tempering process, even the most advanced alchemist can hardly prevent the potency from escaping completely. Therefore, the quality of the elixir is 60% for top grade, 70% for 80% is rare and top grade, 90% is the best quality that only the top elixir masters of super sects can refine, and 10% for elixirs. Even if it passes through the hands of a top alchemist, it is still rare.
The higher the quality of the elixir, the higher its potency and refining speed in the body, and the higher the price. For the same elixir, an eighty-percent color pill is at least twice as expensive as a seventy-percent color pill. The ninety-percent color pill is almost impossible to find on the market. It is either used by the core disciples of the sect or used as tribute. As for the perfect color, it is rare even for the Black Moon Merchant Guild covering the Tianxuan Continent.
If only one of them was 100% color, that's all. The clerk soon discovered that all three fire pills were 10% color, which made his eyes widen. Fire Spirit Herbs are difficult to find, and refining Fire Spirit Pills is even more difficult. As for the perfect Fire Spirit Pills, he has never even heard of them. He can imagine if these three Fire Spirit Pills were used by people practicing fire-based mystical skills. When the mysterious person sees it, he will probably salivate so much that his eyes will fall down.
"Make a price!" Yun Che repeated coldly.
The clerk quickly came to his senses, then hurriedly found a black wooden box and put three Fire Spirit Pills into it to prevent the potency from escaping. When facing Yun Che, his expression was a little more respectful... He had three 100% Fire Spirit Pills at hand, and he actually sold them for money! Moreover, he was so cold-faced and arrogant within the Black Moon Merchant Guild. He could tell with his toes that he was definitely a big shot. He said cautiously: "Three 100% Fire Spirit Pills, the best among the best. The price... I’ll give you one hundred Zixuan coins, how about three hundred Zixuan coins?”
"..." Yun Che was silent for a while.
Yun Che didn't speak for a long time, which made the clerk feel uneasy. He has made up his mind to pay attention, and if he is not satisfied, he will not hesitate to increase the price. Three perfect Fire Spirit Pills, even if they were placed in the General Assembly, they would still be top quality! There are countless sects in Tianxuan Continent that practice fire-based mystical arts. If they were sold to those big sects, each one would be worth a sky-high price.
However, he obviously couldn't guess that Yun Che's silence was not due to the lack of payment... He was directly frightened to pieces by the price.
Three hundred Zixuan coins...I'll take it! ! That's a total of three million Huangxuan coins! ! The income of an ordinary family for nearly a hundred years!
In his first life in Cangyun Continent, when he followed his master, he always made medicine to save people and never charged a penny. After his master passed away, he consumed all the elixirs tempered by the Sky Poison Pearls to increase his strength, so he did not have a clear idea of the market prices of various types of elixirs.
He originally thought that one of the Fire Spirit Pills he tempered could be sold for one Zixuan Coin, which would be quite good. Selling three of them would be enough for him to spend a while. Unexpectedly, the other party directly offered three hundred Zixuan Coins. He was stunned. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Pills are actually so valuable! !
In Tianxuan Continent, good elixirs are indeed ridiculously expensive. Because those top-grade elixirs are almost the only shortcut way to practice Xuan Gong and Xuan Li. Sometimes one person's years of hard training are not as good as another person's swallowing of a pill.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the clerk could no longer hold his breath and said: "If you are not satisfied with the price, then..."
"Deal!" Yun Che spat out two hoarse words before he could finish speaking.
Seeing that the other party agreed so directly, the clerk was overjoyed. He collected three hundred Zixuan coins and sold them to the big sects. One thousand Zixuan coins would definitely be enough to make them fight. He quickly took back the Fire Spirit Pill, turned around and worked for a while, then took out a card with purple light and handed it to Yun Che: "This is your Mysterious Coin Card, please keep it. If you need anything, Welcome to our Black Moon Chamber of Commerce again.”
The purple Mysterious Coin Card means that the money inside is more than one Purple Mysterious Coin. Yun Che checked it after the result and found that there was a lot of money inside, which was exactly three hundred Purple Mysterious Coins!
Yun Che had never touched so much money in his entire two lives. In the past sixteen years, all he had saved was just over a thousand Huang Xuan coins.
Three hundred Zixuan coins! How long will it take to spend all this money? If my little aunt saw it, she would definitely be frightened.
After putting away the mysterious coin card, Yun Che did not leave immediately. He slapped his right hand on the table again and said in an unfailing cold tone: "A mysterious pill, let me know the price!"
When Yun Che placed the red Xuandan on the counter, Jasmine's voice suddenly came to his mind: "What are you doing? Are you going to sell it? Are you crazy?"
"No, no! Of course I can't sell it." Yun Che quickly denied: "Don't worry, I just wanted to scare them and make it easier for myself to do things in the future."
Jasmine didn't answer again.
"Xuandan?" The clerk picked it up suspiciously. The people of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, even at the lowest level, have quite amazing eyesight. But he couldn't tell at a glance which kind of mysterious beast it was. He took the Xuandan in his hand and rubbed it for a while, then his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and both hands trembled violently at the same time: "This... this... this... this... dragon... …Dragon Pill! Or the Dragon Pill of Wang Xuan!”
"Hmph! What a fuss! Make an offer immediately." Yun Che said in an impatient voice.
The clerk put the Xuandan back on the counter and did not dare to pick it up again for a while. His eyes towards Yun Che also changed drastically. He said cautiously: "Dear guest, please...please wait a moment. Such a big one Small things cannot be decided..."
Having said this, he turned around and shouted to the top: "Mr. Pu, come quickly! There is a big business! Hurry!"
Not long after his voice fell, a rather thin old man slowly walked down the stairs. The stairs were made of wood, but when he stepped on them, they didn't make the slightest "squeak" sound. His eyes seemed gentle, but the light inside them was as cold as cold. And this person is Black Moon's shopkeeper, Pu He, who is known to everyone in Crescent City.
"Big business?" Pu He walked over and glanced at Yun Che lightly. His eyes were calm, yet arrogant.
"Mr. Pu, you... look!" The teller picked up the Xuan Dan and presented it to Pu He with trembling hands.
Pu He glared at him and said dissatisfied: "Huh, you are getting more and more useless. A small Xuan Dan can make you so excited! Could this be the Tianxuan Dan? You are like this , wouldn’t it make outsiders think that none of us in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce have ever seen the world!”
Pu He scolded him with a cold face while taking the Xuan Dan in his hand. The moment he took it, his voice stopped abruptly and his whole palm trembled. He quickly brought his eyes closer and raised Xuan Li carefully. Sensing the power in the Xuan Dan, after a few breaths, he trembled all over again, raised his beard, and let out a scream that was at least an octave higher than the teller: "Wang...Wang Xuan...Long Dan!!"
The clerk secretly rolled his eyes at him... Just now he said I was here, and now he shouted louder than me!
"Hmph! A mere Wang Xuandan makes you make such a fuss. The Black Moon Merchant Guild is really becoming more and more promising."
In Pu He's extreme shock, a cold and hoarse voice came from his ear. He quickly calmed down his expression and looked at Yun Che. After looking at him carefully, he carefully put down the Yanlong Xuandan with a respectful gesture on his face: "This distinguished guest, I wonder... I wonder if I can tell you your name?"
When he just walked downstairs, he glanced at Yun Che and found that he had a zombie face, and he sneered in his heart because no one in Crescent City dared to challenge him in the Black Moon Merchant Guild. But now, Pu He feels that Yun Che's gesture is normal. What kind of existence is a person who can take out the Tianxuan Dragon Pill? Does he need to look good to the Black Moon Merchant Guild in a small town?
He had just carefully looked at this "middle-aged man", and he was even more surprised in his heart, because this man's eyes were so deep and sharp, so deep that he could not see a single thing clearly, and so sharp that it seemed as if everything about him was in his eyes. There is no way to hide in front of you.
Yun Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze and voice suddenly became a bit colder: "When does your Black Moon Chamber of Commerce do business, when did you have to ask for names as a rule?"
At that moment, Pu He suddenly felt a murderous aura... Although it was only a very short moment, all the hairs on Pu He's body stood up. He has killed many people in his life and was almost killed by many people, so he is very familiar with and sensitive to murderous aura. However, in his entire life, he has never felt such terrifying murderous intent as just now. He cannot imagine how many people must have been killed before he can possess such terrifying murderous intent... Ten thousand people? One hundred thousand people...or...one million people who would scare all ghosts and gods?
I am afraid that even the legendary Purgatory Shura has no more murderous intent than that.
Pu He's heart was completely lifted, and cold sweat broke out on his back. This was the first time in the years since he came to Crescent City that he broke out in cold sweat. A person with a pale and cold face, a terrifying murderous aura, and the ability to take out Wang Xuandan without changing his expression... What kind of person should this be! With such murderous intent, perhaps killing someone is as casual to him as eating and drinking. If someone makes him unhappy...
Thinking of this, Pu He broke out in cold sweat, and quickly lowered his head with an even more respectful expression: "No, no, Pu definitely doesn't mean that. People who can kill the Wang Xuan Beast or the Wang Xuan True Dragon are all people who look up to them. For a moment, Pu Yi admired the powerful man in the world, so he made a mistake. "
He really wanted to know what kind of state this "terrible person" was, but given him a hundred more courages, he would not dare to find out Yun Che's level of profound strength.
"Hmph!" Yun Che snorted coldly.
The murderous aura disappeared without a trace, and Pu He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously: "The Wang Xuandan is extremely valuable. Not to mention Crescent City, in the entire Blue Wind Empire, one is rare to find in a hundred years. I don't know why this distinguished guest wants to do this. Treasure...sold?"
"It's of no use to me!" Yun Che said expressionlessly.
Useless to him? Pu He's heart beat wildly again... Even Wang Xuandan didn't even look at him, what kind of state did this person have to be?
Pu He smiled bitterly and said, "Dear guest, I really want to keep this Wang Xuanlong Pill, but I dare not hide it from you. This Wang Xuanlong Pill is too valuable. Its value is simply inestimable. Even if I mortgage the entire Black Moon Branch to you, it can't be worth one-fifth of this Wang Xuanlong Pill."
