Shopkeeper Wu had a big smile on his face, but he was still thinking in his heart whether he should try to lower the price again. Of course, he could see that even if this magic weapon sold for 10,000 spirit stones, he would definitely make a lot of money.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from his mind.
"Give him 10,000 spirit stones. I need this magic weapon!"
Shopkeeper Wu was startled at first, but soon returned to normal, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Okay, ten thousand is ten thousand! But Brother Daoist Jiang, let's make it clear. Our store is so honest. If you have business in the future, you must consider our store first. We will never let you suffer any loss."
After hearing this, Li Yan turned around again.
"Manager Wu, this is the way to do business. If this deal fails, you will definitely regret it later!"
While Li Yan was speaking, he returned to the table and took out the inkstone magic weapon.
Shopkeeper Wu did not reach out to touch the inkstone, but scanned it again with his spiritual sense. This was also the rule not to touch the customer's things.
But this magic weapon had just been taken away by the other party, so he could only check it again. However, Shopkeeper Wu also listened to what Li Yan said. With his cleverness, he immediately sensed that there was something else behind Li Yan's words.
He spoke seemingly casually while checking the magic weapon.
"Brother Daoist Jiang, you still have treasures. If you are planning to sell them, why not take them out and let me see them? I will definitely give you a price that will satisfy you."
After hearing this, Li Yan's expression changed slightly, but he immediately shook his head.
"Haha, Shopkeeper Wu, you're worrying too much. I don't have any other treasures!"
As he said this, his eyes rolled around, and his expression was seen by Shopkeeper Wu, who was startled.
"This guy really has other good stuff in his hands!"
Shopkeeper Wu also rolled his eyes slightly.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, if you trade 50,000 spirit stones in our store, you can become our VIP, and your treasures will be sold at the highest price in the city.
In the future, you can enjoy a 20% discount on any materials, pills, and treasures you purchase in our store.
If Daoist Jiang has anything else to sell, there is no need to look for other sellers. Just sell it directly in our store. This is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties. Daoist Jiang will definitely feel that trading with our store is worth the money..."
For a moment, Shopkeeper Wu was spitting and talking nonstop, because he saw the gleam in Li Yan's eyes. He was very familiar with this gleam, it was the familiar smell of someone who liked to take advantage of others.
Sure enough, as he was persuading, Li Yan finally spoke.
"Manager Wu, you should pay the 10,000 spirit stones first!"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Wu's smile deepened. With a wave of his hand, a storage bag appeared on the table.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is 10,000 Spiritual Stones, please keep it!"
Shopkeeper Wu rolled up his sleeves again, put away the black inkstone, and then stared at Li Yan with burning eyes.
Li Yan immediately picked up the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, nodded, and tied the storage bag around his waist.
When he looked up, he saw Manager Wu staring at him intently. He was stunned for a moment, then he understood what he meant and he coughed lightly.
"I do have another item, but the price is very high. It requires at least 50,000 Spiritual Stones. You may not be able to make the decision with so many Spiritual Stones!"
Shopkeeper Wu's smiling expression suddenly froze.
"Damn it, I just mentioned 50,000 spirit stones, and you said you had a treasure for sale for 50,000. Are you deliberately trying to trick me?"
But his expression was only stunned for a moment, and then he changed to a look of great interest.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Jiang has such a treasure. I have been in charge of this shop for a long time. I have made single transactions worth more than 100,000 yuan. What is there that I cannot decide
As long as your treasure is really worth the price, I can still take out these spirit stones."
Li Yan glanced at him with his triangular eyes, then shook his head.
"I said that you may not be able to make the decision. What I meant is that after you take this thing out, Manager Wu, you may not be able to judge its true value. You may need a Nascent Soul cultivator to determine the use of the treasure."
"Does Daoist friend still have such a treasure?"
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wu looked at Li Yan again with a relaxed expression, and he clearly looked unconvinced. At the same time, he sneered in his heart.
"Having such a treasure, whether it is a pill or a technique, is definitely a rare good thing. And you said you had it as soon as I mentioned it. You are just trying to take advantage of this opportunity to cheat me!"
Li Yan's triangular eyes kept spinning when he was stared at, as if he was trying to guess what Shopkeeper Wu was thinking. After a few breaths, Li Yan waved his hands helplessly.
"Let me tell you the truth. This item was obtained together with the inkstone magic weapon, but it is not damaged at all.
It’s just that I can’t activate it at all, but its value will definitely not be less than 50,000 spirit stones, I am completely sure of this.”
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wu's heart moved. It turned out that it was a treasure that the other party could not use. So it seemed that it should not be some kind of elixir.
"A magic weapon obtained together? It should be obtained from some ancient monk's ruins. This kid is really lucky to get several treasures at once..."
Shopkeeper Wu's expression gradually turned solemn, showing that he attached great importance to Li Yan's words.
"Could you please take a look at it, Brother Jiang? In all transactions in our store, we have never disclosed any information about the customers. I think you have also inquired about this before coming to our store to trade."
He was afraid that Li Yan would be worried about the treasure being exposed, so he immediately mentioned the golden signboard of "Xianbaofang" again. Unexpectedly, after he said this, Li Yan still shook his head.
"I have also asked someone to appraise it. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is impossible to tell its value. How about this, I will come back in half a year, and you can ask a Nascent Soul cultivator to help appraise it, and then we can discuss the specific price!"
As Li Yan spoke, he stood up.
"Hey, hey, hey! Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang, why are you so anxious!"
When Shopkeeper Wu saw that Li Yan was about to leave while talking and looked like he no longer wanted to do the deal, he couldn't help but feel anxious. If the treasure the other party was talking about really existed, he had to get it today no matter what.
It's obvious that this guy is a cunning thief. As soon as he walks out of the "Xianbaofang", who knows which shop he will go to in the blink of an eye. By then, he won't have any share of the treasure. What's with the half a year thing? That's bullshit.
In the market town, the people in each shop are more cunning than ghosts.
"Shopkeeper Wu, when I asked you to appraise that inkstone magic weapon before, you said that all the Yuanying cultivators in the store were in the sect. You are not saying that they are here now, are you? This is really not fair!"
When Li Yan saw the other party trying to stop him, his thin face immediately drooped and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you misunderstood. You can take the things out and have a look at them first. I think I have some good eyesight. I will make a decision immediately afterwards. At the latest, someone from the Later Heaven Sect will definitely come."
Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment. Even if he sent a message back now, it would take the next morning for the Nascent Soul cultivators to arrive. It would take several days for Yang Youxian and his men to arrive. "That won't work. Jiang has to leave early tomorrow morning. I have something important to attend to. I said I would come back in half a year, and I will definitely come then!!"
Li Yan rolled his triangular eyes and shook his head like a rattle, then walked out of the room.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang! Today is fine, today is fine..."
"Are you kidding me, Jiang? I never thought that a prestigious 'Xianbaofang' would do business like this. One moment the Nascent Soul cultivator is not here, the next moment he is here, and the next moment he is not here. Do you think that Jiang is just an independent cultivator? Humph!"
Li Yan turned around and looked at Shopkeeper Wu with an unfriendly face.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have to listen to what I have to say. The Yuanying Patriarch is indeed still in the sect, but today someone else happened to come to the sect, and he is the direct disciple of the Yuanying Patriarch.
He is much higher than me in both status and vision, and as long as he is sure, we will make the deal immediately, and you will not lose a single spiritual stone."
"A disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, isn't that still a Golden Core cultivator?"
Li Yan glared at Shopkeeper Wu fiercely.
“That’s different, absolutely different. He is the disciple that the ancestor has cultivated with great effort. It can be said that he has seen or heard of 60% to 70% of the treasures known by the Yuanying cultivators in this world.
"Every word I say is true, please believe me, Brother Jiang. You just want to trade, how about we do it right now?"
Shopkeeper Wu looked very sincere, and in order to make the deal, he praised Yang Youxian to the sky.
Because the inkstone magic weapon just now was what Yang Youxian had told him to accept quickly, and now he also developed a strong interest in another treasure on Li Yan's body.
Li Yan looked at Shopkeeper Wu with his strange eyes, and then he spoke lightly while Shopkeeper Wu was smiling.
"That's fine, but..."
Having said this he drew out a long tone and then looked around.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please speak frankly."
"Then you can't watch it here. To be honest, I still believe in myself. I have booked a room at the Qingheju Inn in the city. If you want to trade, you can go there to find me.
But I want to make it clear in advance that only the Nascent Soul cultivator disciple you mentioned can go, otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, Shopkeeper Wu was stunned.
"Qingheju Inn" is an inn opened by the top sect "Xijian Sect". Staying there for one night requires at least a hundred spirit stones, which is ridiculously expensive.
But it is still one of the places that some people like to go to. The reason is that the wind beasts cooked there are not only particularly delicious, but also retain the spiritual energy in their meat, which is of great benefit to cultivation.
Another main reason is that no one dares to fight or cause trouble in the "Qingheju Inn" as that would surely attract the "Xijian Sect" to hunt them down. Even sects like the "Qionglin Sect" would not dare to provoke them.
It is said that there are cultivators who have reached the state of Divine Transformation in the "Sword Washing Sect", and the combat power of sword cultivators is far superior to that of those at the same level. The combat power of this sect is quite powerful.
"This person is really cunning. There are really fewer means of restraint there!"
Shopkeeper Wu's mind raced, and at this moment, a somewhat old-fashioned voice sounded in his mind.
"Promise him that it will happen in half an hour. Don't delay it any further!"
Shopkeeper Wu was startled. That was Yang Youxian's voice. It seemed that he was very interested in the magic weapon that Jiang Hai mentioned.
But then again, when has Yang Youxian not been tempted by good things? He would keep some of them at a low price and give some to his master.
Those that cannot be used will definitely be resold at a high price later.
Of course, Yang Youxian couldn’t see all the good things in the store. Shopkeeper Wu would also keep some of them for himself. Yang Youxian knew this, but they just kept it a secret to each other.
Like the inkstone today, if Yang Youxian hadn't happened to come over, it might have been accepted by Manager Wu. After all, Confucian magic weapons are relatively rare outside.
"Okay, then someone from my side will go look for Brother Jiang in half an hour, is that okay with you?"
"Half an hour?? ...That's fine too!"
After Li Yan said this, he left quickly.
He could sense that there were restrictions in this room. Although he didn't know what their specific functions were, he had made a plan before coming here.
The final transaction will definitely not be conducted at the place designated by the other party. If you are not careful, the other party may really see something.
Half an hour later, at a street corner, Yang Youxian was looking at a row of elegant courtyards diagonally opposite with a cold expression on his face. Without turning back, he spoke to the shopkeeper Wu behind him.
"Okay, just wait here for me, I'll be back soon!"
When he came here to trade, Cao Lang also went to other places in the market with a depressed look on his face to purchase things. Shopkeeper Wu had something to say to Yang Youxian, so he simply accompanied him here.
As for whether Jiang Hai would set a trap for them, they didn't even think about it. First, this was a market town, but there were Nascent Soul cultivators in charge.
Second, after the Qingheju Inn had killed some ignorant people with fierce means, no one dared to cause trouble here anymore;
Thirdly, the "Qionglin Sect" is also a big sect in this area, not some small sect. Yang Youxian himself is a veteran who has seen many ups and downs.
Yang Youxian walked straight through the lotus pond, the small bridge, and the corridor, and finally came to the door of a room. He knocked gently on the door.
"Is Brother Jiang here? Sorry to bother you, Yang Youxian from Xianbaofang!"
The door opened silently, and then Yang Youxian saw a skinny monk with triangular eyes who was nodding to him.
After a few breaths, the door of the room was closed tightly. Inside the house, not only had the original restrictions been opened, but there was also an additional formation.
Li Yan was holding Yang Youxian's head with one hand, and Yang Youxian was terrified and could not move at all.
Immediately, a look of extreme pain appeared on his face, his two eyeballs bulged out, and his whole body shook like a sieve.
This time when Li Yan searched his soul, he did not want to waste his magic power to perform high-level soul-searching techniques. Instead, he directly sealed the other party's cultivation and searched his soul in the most brutal way to directly obtain all his memories.
This made Yang Youxian experience a pain that was worse than death. With every breath, his soul seemed to be taken out and cut bit by bit with a sharp blade. The pain was simply unbearable for a human.
Yang Youxian had no idea who the other person was. He was easily subdued as soon as he entered the house. Apart from the words he said outside the door, he didn't have a chance to say another word.
The memory of a Jindan cultivator is also very vast. It took Li Yan half an incense stick of time to search his soul.
Yang Youxian could only reveal a resentful look at the beginning, but then he entered an extremely tragic purgatory until he fainted.
