"You... what is there to be afraid of..."
Xia Tianyun was furious.
Xia Tianyun thought Zhang Hao was just pretending. He couldn't believe that Zhang Hao could still produce a thousand lower grade crystal stones after spending seven hundred.
"Alright, can the Haitian Merchant Association guarantee it? I'm afraid some people won't admit defeat if they lose!" Zhang Hao said with a mocking smile.
"Wait! I just talked about what happens if I lose, but what if Ge Xia loses?" Xia Tianyun said, staring intently at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao smiled faintly and said, "If I lose, I'll be like you!"
"Alright, then you're definitely going to lose."
Xia Tianyun felt that Zhang Hao was just putting on a brave face, but seeing how calm the other party was at this moment, his heart was still pounding. However, at this point, he was stuck.
"Since both parties have no objections, this Old Man will be the witness for this matter!" The speaker was none other than Qin Mufeng, the Elder of the Haitian Merchant Association in Sifang City.
As a Martial King, Qin Mufeng serving as the intermediary didn't draw any objections.
Xia Tianyun, Qin Mufeng, and a few others went together to Eight's VIP room.
"Young Master, this Old Man is being polite."
Qin Mufeng seemed very respectful towards Zhang Hao. As a VIP who received a platinum VIP card personally from the Young Miss Dugu, he was very courteous. The Young Miss Dugu was the successor to the next President of the Haitian Merchant Association!
"Ahem, Young Master, just now this Young Master doubted that you had enough lower grade crystal stones to bid, and now he hopes you can prove it. Of course, this Old Man absolutely believes in the Young Master. It's just to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's make this Young Master give up!" Qin Mufeng said with a flawless smile.
"Actually! He's not wrong, I really don't have enough lower grade crystal stones!" Zhang Hao said faintly.
As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, Ye Yun and the maid Song Sitian on the side were stunned. This guy, who was so confident just now, what kind of act was he putting on now?
Qin Mufeng was also a little taken aback. Although his heart was with Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao's actions at this moment left him with no room for maneuver. As the person in charge of the Haitian Merchant Association, he was somewhat troubled. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He thought to himself: Could it be that this Young Master is so fearless because of the Battle God Sword he consigned? However, although that Battle God Sword is one of the final items, it doesn't count at this moment!
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!... Did you all see that? He doesn't have enough lower grade crystal stones."
"Kid, get down there now and crawl ten laps in front of all the guests, then bark like a dog. If you don't do it well, I'll whip your butt..." Xia Tianyun shouted.
After speaking, Xia Tianyun burst into laughter again.
Zhang Hao looked at Xia Tianyun as if he were a lunatic and said faintly, "Laugh... Have you laughed enough now? If you've laughed enough, continue..."
"Kid, you're still so arrogant now. Later, I'll let you know what it means to make a fool of yourself. Old Qin is a witness. You shouldn't go back on your word, right?" Xia Tianyun looked at Zhang Hao with a half-smile.
Zhang Hao looked at Xia Tianyun with a half-smile and said, "Are you stupid, or did a donkey kick your head? Although Young Master said he doesn't have lower grade crystal stones, he didn't say he doesn't have the ability to buy the star chain."
Xia Tianyun sneered and said, "Is there a difference?"
Zhang Hao stood up. Looking at Qin Mufeng, he asked faintly, "Old Qin, do you have to use lower grade crystal stones to bid on items at the Haitian Merchant Association?"
"Of course not, besides lower grade crystal stones, our Haitian Merchant Association prefers bartering," Old Qin said seriously.
"Then Old Qin, take a look, how many lower grade crystal stones is this Overlord Body Pill worth?" Zhang Hao took out a Dan the size of a longan and held it in his palm.
"Is this a Dan?"
Old Qin's expression became serious, and he said to Zhang Hao, "I can ask the Auctioneer from the auction house to appraise it."
Xia Tianyun looked at Zhang Hao disdainfully and said, "Kid, do you think finding any random Dan counts? That's too ridiculous, isn't it?"
Zhang Hao smiled faintly and didn't continue arguing with this idiot. That would definitely lower his intelligence.
Soon, an Old Man with white hair and wrinkled skin walked over.
Upon seeing this Old Man, Old Qin's face was full of smiles. This was a fifth-order Alchemist. No one dared to ignore his existence. Even though Old Qin was a Martial Master, his status was still lower in front of this fifth-order Alchemist.
"Elder Wu!"
Old Qin quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Hmm! What is it? I'm doing Alchemy! Don't bother me if it's not important." Elder Wu was clearly impatient because he had been interrupted.
"Ahem! Elder Wu, here is a legendary Overlord Body Pill. We need you to appraise it."
Old Qin smiled fawningly, not minding the Alchemist's rudeness.
"Oh!" Elder Wu's expression changed slightly when he heard the words "Overlord Body Pill."
After taking the Dan that Old Qin handed over, he sniffed it, then squeezed it with his hand. Finally, he carefully examined it with a silver needle.
Elder Wu said with a look of surprise, "This... this is an Overlord Body Pill, and it's a middle-grade Overlord Body Pill, exactly as described in the Dan book. Both the color and size are the same."
This Old Man was a fifth-order Alchemist, and in his field, he was the authority.
"Hehe, since Elder Wu has confirmed that this is an Overlord Body Pill, there's definitely no mistake." Old Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Xia Tianyun said with a very excited expression, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The formula for the 'Overlord Body Pill' has long been lost, how could an Overlord Body Pill still exist!"
"Are you questioning this Old Man?" Elder Wu's anger was palpable.
Xia Tianyun's breathing immediately hitched.
Xia Tianyun knew the consequences of offending a fifth-order Alchemist. The status of Alchemists on the True Martial Continent was very special. After all, every Martial Warrior had a great demand for Dan. However, Alchemists were extremely scarce on the True Martial Continent. Therefore, even Martial Warriors with high cultivation levels would be very respectful towards Alchemists. They would absolutely not dare to offend them easily.
Let alone a fifth-order Alchemist, even a first-order Alchemist had a high status in some small families. What's more, the one in front of him was a fifth-order Alchemist! If he really offended the other party, his own Family wouldn't be able to protect him.
"Alright, don't bother this Old Man if there's nothing important." After speaking, Elder Wu quickly left.
"Hmm, Old Qin, since this Overlord Body Pill is real, how should it be calculated?" Zhang Hao said leisurely, not surprised by Elder Wu's assessment.
"Hmm, since this Overlord Body Pill is real, and it's a middle-grade Overlord Body Pill, one will be counted as one hundred lower grade crystal stones!" Old Qin pondered for a moment.
This price was quite fair.
"Alright, there are nine more here, which should be worth a thousand lower grade crystal stones, right?"
Zhang Hao grabbed another handful of Overlord Body Pills and held them in his hand, very casually. It was as if they weren't precious Overlord Body Pills, but a handful of peanuts.
