The clerk told him that the treasure was bought back at nightfall the day before they arrived at the store. The shopkeeper knew that they would come today, so there was no way he would waste the precious Wanli Sound Transmission Note.
The Wanli Sound Transmission Note will only be used when it is confirmed that the treasure is too valuable.
This "Yunfu Wind Pearl" is still only a suspected item, and the accuracy is only about 40%. Moreover, it is very precious to Jindan cultivators, especially for wind-type cultivation. It is more useful, so there is no need to use the Wanli Sound Transmission Note.
It was obvious that Yang Youxian, that bastard, wanted to buy it first at the reserve price. Even if he had no use for it, if he took it to an auction house in the future, it would definitely be a big hit among the wind-type cultivators.
The "Uncle Liu" mentioned by Yang Youxian was actually another Uncle Liu who was in the Nascent Soul stage. Cao Lang concluded that Uncle Liu was most likely unaware of this matter, but could he ask a Nascent Soul cultivator? The other party's excuses left him with no way to refute.
However, if Yang Youxian did this, he might suffer a huge loss. After all, he was betting that the treasure he purchased was real. Even if he purchased it at the reserve price, it was relative, and the spirit 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 might work occasionally. After all, Yang Youxian couldn't really go to the extreme.
Sometimes, he would actually let Cao Lang buy the treasures he liked first.
Therefore, Cao Liang still had to say what he should do and say, at least to let Yang Youxian remember it first.
After the two flew away from the sea, they flew for several more hours and finally reached the "Xianbaofang". Of course, the two of them went straight to the sect's shop first.
It was of course Yang Youxian's duty to go there, and Cao Liang went there to ask the guys he had placed there first to see if there were any good things to be found, and then he would go to the market town to purchase the things he needed this time.
In the past, the two of them always did this. Yang Youxian also knew Cao Lang's practices and who were Cao Lang's people in the store, but he didn't care. The two of them understood each other tacitly.
The two of them walked back and forth in the market place like they were familiar with it. A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at a shop called "Baohaishan".
Before the two entered the shop, they saw many people coming in and out of the shop. The shop of their sect had a good reputation in the market, and many cultivators were willing to come and trade.
As soon as the two of them approached the store, they were seen by two shop assistants standing outside the door.
"Meet Uncle Yang and Uncle Cao!"
The two guys are both foundation-building monks in the sect. Many of these disciples had no support in the sect at the beginning, and they relied on their own talents to cultivate to this level.
But after reaching the foundation-building stage, the spiritual stones used for cultivation were far from enough to support their cultivation, so many people formed teams to go out hunting wind beasts in order to obtain more spiritual stones.
But there were also disciples who, after spending almost all of their fortune, chose to come to the market town to help. Although the spirit stones obtained here were not as much as those obtained from hunting wind beasts, it was safe at least.
They want to pursue immortality and do not want to die so early. Moreover, they can get some benefits by being close to the water and towering.
"Where's Junior Brother Wu?"
Yang Youxian spoke directly. He didn't want to waste any more time, so he went straight to find the shopkeeper in charge.
"Oh, Master Wu is in Room 1, meeting a guest!"
One of the guys answered immediately.
"Oh, he's in Room 1?"
Yang Youxian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly whispered to confirm again.
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
Cao Lang, who was standing aside, also had a gleam in his eyes. He glanced at another waiter out of the corner of his eye, and that waiter nodded to him imperceptibly.
These two waiters were deliberately soliciting business at the door today. They all knew that the two would come today, so they came out to wait here instead of the other waiters. Everyone knew these things.
Yang Youxian nodded to the clerk, and without saying anything more, he walked straight into the store, and Cao Lang immediately followed him in.
The shop was very spacious, with three floors. The two of them walked directly towards the stairs at the corner.
The first floor generally sells raw materials and treasures used for Qi condensing and foundation building, the second floor sells Jindan-level treasures, and the third floor is for Yuanying cultivators only.
In addition to the counter, each floor also has several separate rooms, which are reserved for guests who want to trade treasures alone.
The third floor is numbered from '天' (heaven) to '天' (sky) 1 to 5, the second floor is numbered from '地' (earth) to 'earth' (earth) 1 to 5, and the first floor is numbered from '人' (people) to '人' (people) 1 to 7.
Usually, the seven rooms on the first floor are used the most, followed by the Earth Room, and the Sky Room is rarely used. Once it is used, the Wanli Sound Transmission Note may be used, and a Nascent Soul cultivator from the island will be required to come over.
These rooms are of different quality, for example, Room 1 is the best one on that level.
The waiter or shopkeeper here will be at least 30% sure that the treasure the monk wants to trade is of great value, and will bring it to the corresponding room.
And the shopkeeper Wu who was in charge here today actually brought the guests directly to Room No. 1. Yang Youxian and Cao Lang knew very well what this meant, and they couldn't help but feel excited.
However, the place they were going to was not Room No. 1 on the ground floor, but a secret room on the third floor. There, if you wanted, you could hear the conversations in every room through the formation.
This is a formation set up by the shopkeeper so that he can quickly grasp the transaction situation. He cannot receive some individual transactions one by one, and most of them are discussed by other deacons sitting here.
But he also had to keep a room above the second floor, rooms one to three, for transactions, and might secretly instruct the deacons to lower the price or grant them privileged transactions.
In this way, he can just transmit the message directly through the secret room, but outsiders will not know about this kind of thing at all, otherwise they will definitely turn against them.
Since I chose to trade alone, of course I don't want more people to know. Even if the deacon will mention it to other people later, he should at least wait until I leave to reduce the danger to himself.
Yang Youxian and Cao Lang quickly arrived at the third floor. There was no one else on the third floor except for a Jindan realm deacon sitting at the counter.
It's like this here ninety-nine percent of the time. It's not easy for a Nascent Soul cultivator to show up. Normally, this place seems like just 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 Lang with some embarrassment.
Although Cao Lang had a smile on his face, he was extremely angry in his heart.
"A bunch of dog-eyed snobs!"
In the shop, people here basically listen to Yang Youxian. Even though Master Cao Liang is also a Nascent Soul cultivator, he still has no right to order them around.
Even to enter that secret room, only the shopkeeper Wu and Yang Youxian here can, no one else can.
Yang Youxian glanced at Cao Lang sideways. Since the other party had already followed him, it would be difficult for him to refuse his respect.
After all, Cao Liang’s master is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he is the last in the early Nascent Soul stage on the island, he can’t just not give him any face.
He then whispered something to the butler quickly, then walked directly behind the counter, lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing this, Cao Lang pretended not to see the two whispering and followed in. Behind the curtain were rows of shelves with shining balls on them, and inside the balls were some magic weapons and raw materials.
Cao Liang knew that the things here were quite precious to ordinary Jindan, but the really good things would not be placed here. Although these spheres also had defenses, they could still be broken by a Jindan late stage cultivator.
The two of them quickly moved around the rows of shelves and soon came to a corner of the house. There was already a bluestone wall here, and Yang Youxian took a step forward and rushed towards the bluestone wall.
The next moment, the amber jade bracelet on his wrist flashed slightly within his sleeves, immediately emitting a halo of light, and the bluestone wall instantly turned into a lake.
His figure disappeared into the wall as the water rippled. Cao Lang did not dare to delay and followed him in.
But the moment he entered, jealousy appeared in the depths of his eyes.
This secret room is not only where Manager Wu controls the individual trading rooms, but also the place where Yang Youxian and the other party hand over spirit 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, the slightly plump shopkeeper Wu looked at the black-robed man in front of him. The man was thin and had a pair of triangular eyes that showed that he was very shrewd.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, this treasure has been badly damaged. You said it was a magic weapon used by a Yuanying cultivator, and I don’t deny that it may have been one, but now it is definitely only of intermediate grade.
The price you mentioned cannot be sold in any market here, but I really want to complete this transaction with you.
Daoist Jiang, you must have come here to inquire about the reputation of our shop. After all, my sect has many Jindan cultivators and we fight against wind beasts all year round. We need this magic weapon, so I offered a high price of 4,000 spirit stones. "
Shopkeeper Wu showed a helpless look 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 is somewhat dull and even filled with a bloody smell, as if it had been corroded, but one can still sense a hint of Confucian righteousness.
The thin man with triangular eyes opposite Shopkeeper Wu rolled his eyes strangely and curled the corners of his mouth.
“Shopkeeper Wu, I really did ask around before coming here, and I also had someone appraise this magic weapon. It’s a magic weapon that has been nurtured by a Confucian Yuanying cultivator.
You can sense the righteous energy above yourself. Just based on this point, the 10,000 spirit stones I offer are not excessive.
Not everyone can cultivate the noble spirit and Buddhist power of mind, but you cut it in half and added another thousand spirit stones. Hehehe, your business tactics are a bit..."
The thin man with triangular eyes was Li Yan, and Gong Shanhe had disappeared at this moment. Li Yan once again called out the name of Jiang Hai, who had been tricked to death by him and could not die again.
As for whether Manager Wu believed it or not, he didn't care.
Of course, he came here to wait for the target to appear, so he took out a magic weapon at random, which was the inkstone magic weapon of Qi Jinghong.
When it was in the swamp, it was corroded by the blood of the red-robed man. Li Yan had no time to repair it in the past few years, but the inkstone was slowly recovering on its own.
After all, the bloody and cold power is like rootless water, while the magic weapon itself still has spirituality.
Listening to the words of the fat shopkeeper opposite him, 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 didn't want to take out a better magic weapon to trade and cover up, so as not to be inconsistent with his identity, but this corroded magic weapon was just right.
If you say that you got it by accident, the other party will not doubt it.
But the other party was really shady. He priced a high-level Confucian magic weapon at the price of four thousand low-level spirit stones.
Li Yan was certain that even with this damaged inkstone, it could be sold for at least thirty thousand yuan.
However, he had to pretend that he was not sure about the value of the magic weapon. After all, the magic weapon looked severely damaged, and he was only a Jindan-level cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what you said hits the nail on the head. You are obviously an expert. There is indeed a great sense of righteousness here.
But because of this, after the shop acquires this magic weapon, there are restrictions on how it can be sold. 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 Wind God Continent. All Confucian monks have been invited there to specifically target some special wind beasts.
After we acquire this magic weapon, our 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 in and out, and not keeping them in your hands..."
Shopkeeper Wu immediately began to talk incessantly, and while he was talking, he didn't even notice that, under the look of disbelief on Li Yan's face, a gleam of brilliance flashed quietly in the depths of his eyes.
Because in his mind, the voice of Gong Shanhe rang out.
"Someone's coming and has entered the store!"
He listened to Shopkeeper Wu talking for more than ten breaths, and then Li Yan interrupted him.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I came to your store because I was in urgent need of a sale, but now I feel that we may not be able to reach an agreement.
As you said, this magic weapon needs to be sold by specific monks. So I think it should be sold by an auction house. It will be much easier for Confucian monks to find it.
I'm sure I'll get the price I want, and I'll just have to wait a while."
When Li Yan said this, he reached out and took the black inkstone on the table. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wu just smiled faintly and stopped talking, allowing Li Yan to put the thing away.
Li Yan stopped talking and just stood up and walked towards the door.
Shopkeeper Wu behind him had a gleam of light in his eyes and his mind was racing.
"Hmm? Is he really leaving and not planning to sell anymore, or..."
He was very familiar with this tactic of playing hard to get, and many customers often did this.
So he counted silently in his heart, but until Li Yan pushed the door open and walked out, the other party did not turn back.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang, why are you so anxious
How about this, you came to our store by chance, and if you have treasures in the future, can you still consider our store first? I can offer 7,000 spirit stones, how about that? "
Shopkeeper Wu's voice came faintly from behind, and Li Yan, who had already taken a step forward, paused slightly. He turned his head and glanced back at him with a pair of triangular eyes.
"Ten thousand, otherwise, Your Excellency, don't speak!"
