The development of events did not go beyond An Chen's expectations.
Kunpeng simply asked him to deliver a message to Jubao Daoren, and Jubao Daoren seemed to have a strong interest in cooperating with Kunpeng.
Because of this matter, Jubao Daoren even gave Zhang Youcai a few treasures as a reward.
After a few pleasantries, An Chen got straight to the point.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Zhang is still in Qingfeng City recently?"
"Yes! The Qingfeng Secret Realm is about to open, and my master said that we should venture out everywhere, emptying out the treasures in various Secret Realms... ahem! So I also have to go in and explore. What about Senior Brother Sun? You should also be in Qingfeng City, right?"
An Chen felt a bit conflicted, but still sent a new message.
He was still a bit unaccustomed to being called Sun He.
But let this mistake continue.
"Yes, I'm also going into the Qingfeng Secret Realm. The reason I came to find Senior Brother Zhang this time is to ask for a favor. I have some special reasons and don't want anyone to see me, so I'm looking for a Magical Artifact for disguise, but I haven't found a suitable one. Everyone knows that Jubao Daoren has many unique treasures, and his Disciples are the same, so I thought of asking you."
Zhang Youcai was quite generous and directly sent back a picture.
It was a ring.
"This is a Disguise Ring, a Low Grade Magical Artifact for the Spirit Nurturing Stage, but even a master of the Spirit Nurturing Stage generally can't see your true face."
A Magical Artifact for the Spirit Nurturing Stage?
An Chen was greatly surprised.
"I don't have that many Spirit Stones..."
"It's fine, I'll give it to you!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang!"
An Chen's lips curved into a smile.
Zhang Youcai was still a good person, and generous, and just casually gave away a Low Grade Magical Artifact for the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
The longsword An Chen had just obtained was only a High Grade Qi Refinement Stage Magical Artifact, which he treasured immensely.
One can imagine how generous Zhang Youcai was.
The two quickly agreed on a "meeting" location and time, and then An Chen went to bed.
The next morning, An Chen woke up early.
He didn't see the Grand Elder, so after changing his clothes, he walked straight out of the inn and went to the market where his two Senior Brothers had taken him before.
Here, there was an area entirely filled with small stalls, not shops, and most of what was sold were small trinkets collected by Cultivators themselves.
He searched around and quickly found a stall.
He walked up and looked at the items on the stall, smiling:
"You really came to set up a stall?"
Zhang Youcai, behind the stall, also smiled.
"Although I am Jubao Daoren's Disciple, I still have to learn how to sell things. Otherwise, if there's no Disciple like Selling Goods Immortal in the future, will I not be able to sell anything?"
"That's true."
An Chen looked around the stall, then picked up the ring he had seen on the tongshen jade talisman yesterday and asked:
"Boss, how much is this thing?"
Zhang Youcai held out a finger:
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones, no bargaining!"
An Chen almost choked on his own saliva.
"You better give a proper price!"
"You have to bargain."
An Chen then lightly coughed twice and said.
"Boss, your price isn't honest. I think this thing is only worth ten Spirit Stones. I'll add a bit, how about twenty?"
This time it was Zhang Youcai who almost choked on his own saliva.
"How can you bargain like that?"
An Chen spread his hands.
"Then you teach me, how exactly do I bargain?"
Zhang Youcai then patiently instructed him:
"You can directly cut my price in half, say five thousand. I definitely won't agree, I'll say eight thousand. Then you cut a large portion again, say three thousand. At this point, I'll get anxious and quickly agree to the five thousand you mentioned earlier. You should then press on, directly cutting it down to one thousand. When I agree to three thousand again, you just continue to cut the price aggressively until I agree to your price."
An Chen nodded and said:
"Twenty."
Zhang Youcai looked indignant.
"What's the difference?!"
An Chen chuckled.
"Anyway, the result is the same, isn't it better if I just get to the point?" He paused, then added: "And what if you agreed when I offered five thousand?"
Zhang Youcai scratched his head.
"You saw through that?"
"Hehe."
An Chen pouted.
"Anyway, I don't have any more, aren't we just putting on a show?"
An Chen put down the twenty Spirit Stones.
Things like Magical Artifacts cannot be detected by Divine Sense, so even if the Grand Elder was truly perverted enough to constantly watch him, An Chen's performance was seamless.
"Then Senior Brother Sun, since I've already given you the item, why don't you help me with something?"
An Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Tell me."
Zhang Youcai beckoned, and An Chen leaned his ear closer. Zhang Youcai whispered a few words to An Chen, and An Chen's eyes widened more and more.
...
"Two thousand four hundred Spirit Stones, this price is actually quite good. After all, this is a Heaven Grade Magical Artifact for the Qi Refinement Stage, and it's a mainstream longsword. No matter where you buy it, this price isn't expensive! And look at this sword, when the Artifact Refiner forged it, he used..."
Zhang Youcai held the longsword and eloquently introduced it to the Cultivator in front of him.
The Cultivator was clearly quite satisfied with the price, nodding, and was about to take out Spirit Stones from his qiankun bag to pay.
Zhang Youcai raised an eyebrow and lightly coughed. A voice suddenly rang out from behind the Cultivator.
"Boss, do you sell this longsword?"
The newcomer was An Chen.
Zhang Youcai beamed with joy.
"Selling, selling, two thousand four hundred Spirit Stones, but this customer came first, so..."
"I'll offer two thousand eight hundred. This sword is worth that price. Can I have it?"
An Chen spoke without changing his expression, throwing a qiankun bag in front of Zhang Youcai.
Zhang Youcai picked up the qiankun bag, seemingly checking the number of Spirit Stones inside. A moment later, a joyful expression appeared on his face.
"Then naturally, the higher bidder wins, this customer..."
"I'll offer three thousand!"
The Cultivator who was about to buy the sword sneered and also threw out a qiankun bag.
As if he didn't have money!
Isn't it just spending money? Who can't do that!
Zhang Youcai immediately rejoiced.
"No matter what, this gentleman came first. I'm really not just greedy for money, I mainly feel that I have a edge with you, and this sword must be yours!"
An Chen frowned, but said nothing, bent down to pick up the qiankun bag, and then left with a flick of his sleeve.
As he walked, An Chen revealed a smile.
The mission was perfectly completed.
There were indeed quite a few Spirit Stones in that qiankun bag, but Zhang Youcai had given them to him in advance.
His role was just that of a shill.
Originally, that longsword could only sell for two thousand six hundred to two thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones, but with his provocation, the Cultivator just now directly took out three thousand Spirit Stones.
This was also a very common tactic.
And Zhang Youcai, who was counting the Spirit Stones on the other side, silently gave An Chen a thumbs up in his heart.
This guy acted quite convincingly!
...
Yesterday, a book friend actually tipped me ten Reminder .
To be honest, I've written two books, and I've never seen such a large tip.
First of all, thank you to the boss (｡ò ∀ ó｡)
I can't let down the boss's tip, so in a couple of days, I'll update six chapters in one day again.
The dog is happily leaving~
