As Lin Buzheng approached, his gaze swept across the midget's stall and he frowned.
The treasures that the midget was selling were good stuff, but the asking price was too high. It was clear that he was trying to rip off the buyer. No wonder no one was willing to buy.
Of course, it was also possible that this midget came from a land rich in spiritual items, so he was selling at a high price. However, from his greedy and greedy expression, it was obvious that the former was more likely.
"They're all ordinary items. There's nothing good."
Lin Buzheng shook his head in disappointment. He had already seen with the Eye of Samsara that there was nothing special about the treasures on the midget's stall. Their value was much lower than the marked price.
"Eh, what's that?"
Just as Lin Buzheng was about to retract his gaze, his attention was attracted by an arm-sized piece of black wood at the end of the midget's stall.
It was unknown what kind of tree this piece of black wood came from, but it was shriveled and withered, without the slightest bit of spiritual energy. Even when Lin Bu used the Eye of Samsara to look at it, he found nothing special about it, and he couldn't see anything unusual about it.
But for some reason, it caused the World Tree bloodline in Lin Buzheng's body to awaken, emitting lively and joyful energy waves.
"Kid, do you see that arm-sized piece of black wood at the end of the stall?
"We must buy it at all costs!"
At this time, Little Grey also sent a voice transmission to Lin Buzheng. The content of the voice transmission shocked him. He instantly understood that the World Tree's magical ability was right. This piece of spiritual wood indeed had a value beyond his imagination!
"Where did this country bumpkin come from?"
"You're only looking and not buying. Get lost too!"
The midget screamed at Lin Buzheng, his voice piercing and his attitude very unfriendly.
Lin Buzheng was speechless. He had not even made a move. How did he become a country bumpkin? However, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly, "Friend, you're wrong. I want to buy some treasures from you."
"What?"
"Friend, why didn't you say so earlier that you wanted to buy treasures from me? Welcome, welcome! "
When the dwarf heard this, his expression changed instantly. His facial features squeezed together, and he revealed an extremely flattering smile to Lin Buzheng. "May I know which treasure you want to buy, friend?"
Lin Buzheng pretended to be indifferent and pointed at the black wood at the end of the stall. "I'll take this wood. How many spirit stones does it cost?"
"One hundred thousand spirit stones. There's a price on it."
When the dwarf saw this, the smile on his face stiffened.
This piece of black wood was placed at the very end of his stall. It was obvious that it was the treasure with the lowest value among all the treasures he was selling. Now that he saw Lin Buzheng preparing to buy this piece of black wood, he naturally couldn't bring himself to be happy.
When Lin Buzheng heard this, he frowned immediately and seemed extremely displeased. "That's too high!"
The midget was embarrassed. He carefully smiled and said, "Sir, you may not know this, but this piece of black wood looks ordinary, but it's actually a sacred divine tree, the trunk of the Soul Returning Tree. Naturally, it's valuable."
His tone was careful. It was obvious that he didn't want to scare away Lin Buzheng, his only customer.
The Soul Returning Tree was an extremely strange spiritual tree. It could no longer be seen in this world. Legend had it that it grew in the underworld and could summon the spirits of the dead. When it grew to its peak, it could even become a World Tree that protected the underworld.
The sacred divine tree of the Soul Returning Tree had grown for at least one hundred thousand years. From spiritual to sacred, it was able to communicate with the world. It was only one step away from becoming a World Tree.
One could imagine that a spiritual tree of this level, even if its spiritual energy had dried up and its spirituality no longer existed, its value was still extraordinary.
Lin Buzheng sneered and secretly transmitted his voice to Xiao Hui. "Of course I know that this is a trunk of the sacred divine tree of the Soul Returning Tree! If it's just dried up and decayed, one hundred thousand spirit stones isn't much. But it's tainted with a terrifying curse. You still want to sell it for one hundred thousand spirit stones? Do you think I don't know what's good for me? "
It turned out that while Lin Buzheng and the midget were talking, Xiao Hui had already secretly informed Lin Buzheng that this piece of Soul Returning Wood was tainted with a terrifying curse. If the curse wasn't dispelled, this piece of Soul Returning Wood would be completely worthless.
And obviously, from the fact that the midget had placed this piece of spiritual wood at the end of the hundreds of treasures in the shop, he simply didn't have the ability to dispel the curse.
The midget was stunned. An expression of greed and pain appeared on his face. "But it's still a sacred divine tree of the Soul Returning Wood … one hundred thousand spirit stones, not one less!"
Lin Buzheng was speechless. This midget was blinded by greed and extremely greedy.
Under normal circumstances, if he heard this offer, he would definitely turn and leave without another word.
But unfortunately, Xiao Hui had clearly stated that he wanted him to buy this piece of Soul Returning Wood at all costs. The midget's almost insane greed had instead hit the mark by a stroke of luck. He was destined to make a huge profit from Lin Buzheng.
"Idiot!"
"It's already a miracle that a piece of cursed Soul Returning Wood can be sold. You actually asked for one hundred thousand spirit stones. What utter stupidity! You've scared away your only customer. Just wait to starve to death! "
However, at this moment, a scene that left Lin Buzheng dumbfounded appeared.
On the back of the midget's head, all the hair had fallen off and several ugly cracks appeared.
The two cracks at the top opened up, revealing a pair of eyeballs that were spinning wildly. The two cracks in the middle turned into an upturned nose, while the one at the bottom turned into a mouth.
In the blink of an eye, a face that was exactly the same as the front of the midget's head appeared at the back of the midget's head.
"Shut up, you're the idiot!"
"This piece of Soul Returning Wood is something that I went through untold hardships and went through a narrow escape. For this, I even offended a big shot. How can I be satisfied if I don't sell it for one hundred thousand spirit stones!"
The face at the front of the midget screamed and began to argue fiercely with the face at the back of the head. They even ignored Lin Buzheng who was standing at the side.
Lin Buzheng was speechless. What was this? They were arguing with themselves and fighting each other?
"Even if you're not satisfied, you have to be!"
"A flawless piece of Soul Returning Wood can be sold for one million spirit stones. A cursed piece of Soul Returning Wood is trash and worthless!"
"If you insist on one hundred thousand spirit stones and refuse to budge, you won't be able to sell it even in your next life!"
"One thousand spirit stones! Little human fellow, as long as you offer one thousand spirit stones, I'll sell this piece of Soul Returning Wood! "
The face at the back of the midget's head screamed.
"Get lost! I'm in charge of Night's body!"
"One thousand spirit stones. I'd rather split the Soul Returning Wood than sell it! If you really want to buy it, the price can't be lower than eighty thousand spirit stones! "
The face at the front of the midget did not show any weakness.
"Eighty thousand spirit stones. Why don't you take a piss and look at your ugly face!"
"Two thousand spirit stones. Little human fellow, don't listen to this greedy old trash's nonsense. Throw down two thousand spirit stones and you can have that piece of trash Soul Returning Wood!"
The midget moved his body as if he wanted to pick up the Soul Returning Wood and hand it to Lin Buzheng. However, the midget immediately pounced on the Soul Returning Wood and used his body to firmly press it down. The face at the front revealed an ominous glint.
