"At least forty thousand contribution points, not a single point less!" Wu Dafei said righteously, showing no intention of lowering the price.
"Then what's the difference from selling to someone else?" Little fatty Xiong Bao rolled his eyes.
"I'm even giving you a spirit talisman!" Wu Dafei said, stroking his beard.
Little fatty smiled and walked up to Wu Dafei, "Old Wu, have you forgotten what you called us just now, little devils?"
Zhang Ergou was stunned. He never expected this inconspicuous little fatty to dare threaten an elder.
There are all sorts of people in the world.
"Thirty-eight thousand, no less, that's my bottom line." The little fatty's threat seemed to have a strong impact. Wu Dafei immediately changed his tune.
Zi Lin found a stool and sat aside, suddenly taking something out of her hand. Wu Dafei's eyes twitched as soon as he saw it, and he quickly changed his mind, "Thirty-six thousand, thirty-six thousand, if it's any lower, I'll truly be at a loss!"
"Twenty-two thousand, Old Wu, my boss can make even the Four Great Peak Masters tremble when he gets serious!" Little fatty Xiong Bao pouted, clearly dissatisfied with Wu Dafei's offer.
Wu Dafei helplessly glanced at Zi Lin sitting by the side. His eye twitched fiercely, "Thirty thousand, that's the lowest price!"
"Let's go, Old Wu, remember to protect your beard!" Zi Lin stood up and beckoned the two of them to leave.
"Oh, little aunt, please stay a moment, twenty-five thousand, twenty-five thousand and I'll sell it to you, alright?" Wu Dafei was on the verge of tears.
"Zhang Ergou, pay up!" Zi Lin turned and smiled at Zhang Ergou.
Zhang Ergou was dumbfounded. Was this still the stingy Elder Wu? In a daze, he took out his jade token and had Wu Dafei deduct twenty-five thousand contribution points.
"Here, take it!" Wu Dafei tossed a storage ring to Zi Lin. Zhang Ergou's eyes were opened today. He had always seen Wu Dafei tricking others. This was the first time he saw Wu Dafei being tricked without any temper.
"Not bad, three spirit talismans, one for each of us, perfect for self-defense. Excellent!" Zi Lin examined the storage ring and said.
"Elder, I have some things here. Can you see if they can be exchanged for contribution points?" Zhang Ergou said cautiously, looking at Wu Dafei, who had a depressed look on his face. He didn't dare to be as lawless as Zi Lin and Xiong Bao.
"Exchange for contribution points? That stuff can't be eaten, it can only be used within the sect. Just exchange it for spirit stones directly," Little fatty Xiong Bao interjected again.
"Elder Wu can exchange for spirit stones here?"
"Of course!" Wu Dafei's spirits lifted again, completely shedding his earlier depressed expression. He took the storage ring Zhang Ergou gave him and examined it.
"You kid, did you go robbing? So many things, and so messy and numerous?" He sized Zhang Ergou up with a meaningful gaze, his eyes then drawn to the contents of the storage ring.
"Old Wu, just tell us how much it's worth, why ask so many questions?" Zi Lin clenched her fist, showing no respect for Wu Dafei.
"Forty thousand low-grade spirit stones!" Wu Dafei said directly.
"Old Wu, you're too black-hearted. If Zhang Ergou had come alone today, I wouldn't have said anything about you tricking him."
Zhang Ergou: "Uh!"
"But you don't even look at who brought him. If you don't give him face, aren't you not giving my boss face?" Little fatty Xiong Bao seemed very familiar with the value of these items.
"Then how much do you think it's worth?" Wu Dafei reached out and stroked his beard, appearing unhurried.
"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!" Little fatty Xiong Bao said directly.
"Impossible, five thousand at most!" Wu Dafei regained his cunning demeanor. Without Zi Lin's involvement, he didn't put Zhang Ergou and Xiong Bao in his eyes.
"One hundred thousand!" Xiong Bao argued, not yielding a single spirit stone.
"How can you bargain like that?" Wu Dafei said, puffing out his beard and glaring.
"One hundred thousand, just one hundred thousand. It's not like you're the only one who can exchange spirit stones!" Saying this, little fatty Xiong Bao signaled for Zhang Ergou to take the storage ring and leave.
"Sixty thousand, sixty thousand. If you agree, fine. If not, you can go wherever you want!" Wu Dafei acted as if he had reached his limit.
"Fine, let's go!" Little fatty Xiong Bao turned directly. Seeing Zhang Ergou not following, he turned back and shouted, "Ergou, hurry up, I know another place that offers much fairer prices than Old Wu here."
Zhang Ergou snatched the storage ring from Wu Dafei's hand and followed the little fatty and Zi Lin out.
"Three, two, one." Just as they were about to step out the door, the little fatty muttered to himself.
"Eighty thousand, at most eighty thousand. Leave it for me!" Wu Dafei chased out from inside. He handed a storage ring to Zhang Ergou.
Zhang Ergou's mouth twitched. It could be like this?
In the end, Zhang Ergou sold the storage ring he had snatched from Song Zhinan for eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, they found a quiet and secluded spot. Zi Lin took out the three spirit talismans and handed one each to Zhang Ergou and Xiong Bao.
"These spirit talismans are all one-time use. They become invalid after being activated once, so never use them unless it's an absolute last resort," Zi Lin lectured Zhang Ergou like a little adult.
"One-time use? And so expensive!" Zhang Ergou's heart was bleeding.
"Staying alive is more important than anything!" Zi Lin said impatiently, giving Zhang Ergou a glare.
"This spirit talisman is called the Thunderclap Talisman!"
"This spirit talisman was crafted by a Golden Core stage talisman master of the Misty Sect. Activating it is equivalent to a single strike from a late-stage Golden Core expert."
"Therefore, it's enough to save your life." Zhang Ergou was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect this unassuming person to possess such power. He also put away his contempt and carefully put away his own talisman.
"Activating it is actually very simple, you just need to infuse it with spiritual energy."
"Ergou, among the three of us, your cultivation is the weakest. You absolutely must not leave our side in the black market." Zhang Ergou then realized that even little fatty Xiong Bao had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. What kind of monsters had he encountered!
After agreeing on a meeting point in three days with Zi Lin and the others, Zhang Ergou returned to Spring Sun Peak. In the courtyard, Liu Cuilan was diligently practicing her swordplay. She wielded a Moon Chasing Sword with great elegance. One couldn't tell it was a heavy sword, carrying a delicate yet heroic aura, quite captivating. Zhang Ergou didn't disturb Liu Cuilan's practice and quietly returned to his room.
Time passed without notice. In the blink of an eye, it was time to meet Zi Lin and the others. On the morning of the third day, Zhang Ergou arrived at the mountain cave in the back of the mountain with the morning sun. Zi Lin and Xiong Bao were already waiting there. He suspected these two might have been waiting there since last night. Sudi Novel Network.
"How do we get out?" Zhang Ergou asked.
"Today, many people will be heading to the black market, including some Golden Core stage experts."
"For safety reasons, we should walk there. After all, those Golden Core stage experts can all fly on their swords." As he spoke, Xiong Bao took out a talisman and handed it to Zhang Ergou.
"What is this?"
"Thousand Mile Talisman!" Zi Lin said. "Paste it on your leg and infuse it with spiritual energy, and your walking speed will be no slower than flying!"
"So magical?"
"Of course. Remember to keep your direction in mind, don't go crashing into trees!" Zi Lin cautioned.
"Am I that stupid?" Zhang Ergou muttered. Saying this, he pasted the Thousand Mile Talisman on his leg and tried to infuse a little spiritual energy.
Ah! Ah! Ah...
