Luo Zheng felt a headache coming on.
It seemed like he wasn't good at being pretentious. Instead, this little girl saw through him.
"Actually, this price isn't targeted at you alone." Tie Lin spoke again, "In the past few years, I've treated everyone who asked for the price of this mud equally and offered 500 shenwu coins. However … I feel that it's more appropriate to offer you 1000 shenwu coins!"
Tie Lin was speaking the truth. She knew that this mud was definitely not an ordinary item. However, she couldn't find anything special about it and no one in Six Ren Divine City could recognize it either.
Now that Luo Zheng finally came and seemed to see the uniqueness of this mud, how could she let it go?
Tie Lin was speaking the truth. Even if she offered 1000 shenwu coins, Luo Zheng would have no choice but to buy it.
He naturally knew what was going on in his inner world. To be able to cause such a reaction from the consciousness of his inner world, this thing must be very useful to him. However, he didn't know what it was.
However, he was rather unwilling to spend 500 shenwu coins. He shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. I'm just a testimonial martial artist. How can I have such a large sum of money?"
Five hundred Shenwu coins was a sum that even some of the poorer middle True Gods would not be able to take out. Most of the Proof of Divinity martial artists were extremely poor. They would run around for a long time just for a single Shenwu coin, so how could they possibly take out such a large sum?
Tie Lin's eyes revealed a look of regret. She naturally thought of this. How could testimonial martial artists have so much money? However, testimonial martial artists who dared to walk into Gold Money Alley more or less had some wealth. She gave this price to test Luo Zheng's bottom line.
"Then how much do you want?" Tie Lin asked.
"I only have 30 shenwu coins …" Luo Zheng replied.
"Only 30?" Tie Lin stared at Luo Zheng and smiled, "That's too little. I'm not selling at this price."
"Sigh, then there's no other way." Luo Zheng made a regretful expression and then turned around to leave.
Tie Lin maintained that smile from beginning to end. She didn't say a word as she stared at Luo Zheng's gradually disappearing figure. She was still silently counting in her heart. One step, two steps, three steps … ten steps, eleven steps …
After Luo Zheng had walked some distance away, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Double it, 60 shenwu coins!"
However, Tie Lin still shook her head calmly.
If the elders of the Tie Clan saw this scene, they would probably scold Tie Lin to death.
It would already be a miracle if that piece of mud could be sold for 10 Shenwu Coins. Now that someone was offering 60 Shenwu Coins, Tie Lin wasn't willing to sell …
"Luo Zheng, why must you buy this piece of mud?" The Evil Old Man was very confused.
Although he was temporarily residing in Luo Zheng's mind, he didn't know much about Luo Zheng. Previously, the Evil Old Man had been puzzled. With Luo Zheng's talent and foundation, it wouldn't be difficult for him to attain godhood. Why hadn't he condensed a godhood yet?
He wanted to enter Luo Zheng's inner world to see if he could help, but Luo Zheng refused. Luo Zheng didn't even allow the Evil Old Man to spy on him.
The Evil Old Man knew that Luo Zheng still didn't trust him. After all, he didn't have a close relationship with Luo Zheng. But what kind of shocking secret did Luo Zheng have that he had to hide it so well?
"One hundred, I'll take it." Luo Zheng gritted his teeth and offered another price.
Tie Lin was tempted as well. If she could really sell this piece of mud for over a hundred Shenwu Coins, she would definitely be rewarded by the clan. Therefore, she started to hesitate in her heart. However, she didn't show it on her face. If Luo Zheng turned back, she would just chase after him again …
Right at this moment, two people rushed over from afar. They were Tie Lin's second uncle and third uncle. Both of them were lower True Gods.
As a small clan, the Tie Family sold everything they had through this small stall in Liuren Divine City. This Alley of Gold Coins was actually a large market in Liuren Divine City. It relied on Tie Lin's management to maintain the entire Tie Family's operations.
"I can't sell it for 100 Shenwu Coins … Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you're here?" Tie Lin greeted her two uncles while observing Luo Zheng's expression.
"What can be sold for such a price?" Tie Lin's second uncle was startled. In his impression, the Tie Family hadn't obtained any valuable treasures during this time, so he was shocked when he heard this.
"It's that piece of mud you dug up, Second Uncle." Tie Lin smiled.
"You're still not selling it for 100 Shenwu Coins?!" Second Uncle's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Third Uncle was also startled. He didn't pay too much attention to Luo Zheng because he was only a Proof of Divinity cultivator. However, since this person was willing to pay such a high price, he naturally had to carefully size him up. His eyes flashed as if he was thinking of someone.
"Come, come, come. Friend, sigh, young man, I was the one who dug up this mud back then. I'll sell it for 100 Shenwu Coins …" Second Uncle impatiently picked up the piece of mud.
However, just as he was about to hand it over, Tie Lin angrily said, "Second Uncle!"
At the same time, Third Uncle stretched out his hand to stop Second Uncle and pulled them to the side. Third Uncle said something while Tie Lin and Second Uncle glanced at Luo Zheng from time to time.
At this moment, Luo Zheng's face was filled with a bitter smile. He had already expected that person to recognize him.
The matter of Luo Zheng being in Hanyue Building had already spread throughout Six Ren Divine City.
However, Luo Zheng didn't leave his name. Although the various gods in Six Ren Divine City knew of his existence, there weren't many who could truly recognize him. However, this little girl's uncle seemed to have recognized him!
As expected …
When the little girl came back, she said to Luo Zheng with a smile, "This thing is 500 Shenwu Coins. Not one less."
Now that Tie Lin knew that Luo Zheng was the person who defeated Hulan Zhuo in one move in Hanyue Building and won 5,000 Shenwu Coins from the Hulan Family, her tone was naturally firm! Tie Lin was a rather principled person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked for 500 Shenwu Coins. She would have asked for at least 2,000 Shenwu Coins.
Luo Zheng took a deep look at this little girl. He knew that it was useless to talk nonsense. If he had known earlier, he would have been more decisive.
Before he could transfer the Shenwu Coins he obtained from Hulan Zhuo into his Sumeru Ring, Luo Zheng could only shake the scabbard slightly. The Shenwu Coins within fell out one by one …
500 Shenwu Coins wasn't a small transaction even in Gold Money Alley. Instantly, it attracted the attention of the passersby on both sides.
Some of the True Gods were surprised to see that Luo Zheng, who was merely a Proof of God expert, could take out such a large sum of money. Naturally, some of them recognized Luo Zheng's identity.
"Isn't this the brat from Hanyue Building?"
"He won 5,000 Shenwu Coins in one move. That's a huge windfall!"
"This brat's luck is not bad. Haha …"
"Luck? If you didn't rely on your True God cultivation, could you have defeated the young master of the Hulan Family? "
Amidst the discussions, Luo Zheng took the piece of mud from Tie Lin's hand. The moment he took it, the consciousness of the Inner World surged out continuously. It was like a hungry wolf that saw a sheep. It couldn't wait any longer.
"It can't be. So much Shenwu Coins to buy a piece of mud?"
"The Tie Family has treated that piece of mud as a treasure for a few years now. That young lady from the Tie Family knows how to do business, but that piece of mud was priced at 500 Shenwu Coins!"
"500 Shenwu Coins? If I can sell it, I'll eat that piece of mud! "
"She has already sold it …"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that someone would buy that thing at such a high price. Moreover, it was that brat who had recently become famous and defeated Hulan Zhuo.
After counting the Shenwu Coins, Luo Zheng stuffed the piece of mud into his Sumeru Ring. He then slipped into the crowd and left quietly.
Although he had been ripped off by that young lady, Luo Zheng still felt that it was worth it. He believed that this seemingly ordinary item hid a great secret …
Along the way, the Evil Old Man didn't ask anything. Since Luo Zheng wasn't willing to tell him, this item must be related to his secret. The Evil Old Man also knew that he was relying on Luo Zheng now. He wouldn't ask about things that he shouldn't know.
After returning to his temporary residence in Six Ren Divine City, Luo Zheng sat down cross-legged. He placed the piece of mud in front of him and carefully observed it.
