“fifty million?!”
the seller almost fell when he heard long chen’s words. how was that thing worth fifty million? he had been in this profession for over three hundred years and had yet to make that much in total!
it could be said that long chen’s thirty-five thousand immortal king crystals were already a huge profit to him.
“can you give me a cheaper price? you won’t haggle even a bit? don’t you know how to do business?” urged long chen impatiently when he saw the seller just staring at him blankly.
“ah... no, i can’t go any cheaper! let me put it to you this way, this was passed down from my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather. don’t look down on it just because it’s small. it has third generation jiuli characters on top of it! that’s a seal, and no one knows what’s within the seal. generations of my ancestors were incapable of opening it. as for my own father... he... he tried to forcibly open it, only for the slightest bit of black light to fly out from it, instantly turning him to dust. i was only six at that time, and i personally witnessed his death. i...” that person began to sob and weep.
long chen was surprised by his acting skills, so he hastily pressed on. “when your father died, did a flower mark appear? did the flower have six petals, with the mark of a fiend on every petal?”
“how... how did you know?!” exclaimed that person in shock. that acting was such that even long chen almost fell for it.
“did you see anything else?” asked long chen.
“the six ghost heads opened their mouths and devoured the black mist that my father turned into. they then returned into the coffin. yes, they all came from this mark right here that looks like a tortoise. i saw it clearly. it was this mark. but even after all my years of study, i was unable to break it. i hate it, but i am also fascinated by it. i want to know what it hides. but i know that i’ll never be able to open it in this lifetime. if someone is willing to pay the right price, i’ll sell. but not one bit lower. so i won’t go any lower than my price of... that i just set!” the seller was so nervous that he actually forgot the number that long chen had just said. was it fifty million or five million? fortunately, his adaptability wasn’t bad.
“what was your father’s cultivation base?” asked long chen.
“my father was a world king-”
“oh?!” long chen glared.
“ah? a world king’s no good?” that person looked at long chen questioningly.
long chen almost slapped him. did this person not just expose him? long chen wanted him to raise his father’s cultivation base a bit.
“what are you talking about? i was asking about your dad! your dad’s cultivation base!”
bang!
just then, the nine underworld luocha realized that she had been scammed and crushed the coffin in her hand to find that there was nothing inside.
“long chen!” she clenched her teeth furiously. fifty million immortal king crystals was nothing to her, but being played for a fool infuriated her.
seeing this scene, that person was absolutely terrified. he wanted to give the spatial ring in his hand back to her, but he also didn’t dare to. he was so afraid that he wept.
“that’s enough. with me here, she can’t touch you. leave, you have no business here,” said long chen.
the seller was overjoyed by long chen’s promise. he then bravely took out a transportation formation and activated it, vanishing from the spot.
“don’t look at me. these twenty-five million immortal king crystals were earned properly by my hard work! i won’t give them to you. if you want to fight, i’ll accompany you,” said long chen indifferently.
the surrounding stalls that were set up hastily pulled back, giving them a large space.
at this time, yu qingxuan gracefully walked over, appearing by long chen’s side.
“dongfang zichu’s disciple? do you think being the vermilion bird empire’s princess is so great?” the nine underworld luocha looked at yu qingxuan with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. she then snorted and pointed at long chen. “just wait! i’ll take your head in the three thousand worlds.”
when the nine underworld luocha turned and left, long chen was a bit surprised. was she afraid of yu qingxuan?
“you really are evil! how can you swindle people like this? aren’t you afraid of the main high firmament academy’s dean scolding you?” rebuked yu qingxuan.
she had been hiding in the distance while long chen conducted his business with that person, so she had seen everything. this grand dean of the high firmament academy was actually constantly plundering and swindling people.
“hehe, for you, i’m capable of doing even more shameless things. let me tell you, i picked up a huge treasure.”
long chen was very pleased and took out the hairpin once more.
