Gold coins were widely used in the League of Nations. However, as the tier of a kingdom increased, its usefulness would gradually diminish.
Even a million gold coins wouldn't be able to buy a single spirit stone. Yet, for only fifty gold coins, you want to buy something worth fifty spirit stones? Are you joking?
Zhao Feiwu's eyelids twitched, and she nearly spurted blood and fainted.
She had painstakingly raised the price from a hundred spirit stones to fifteen, and she thought that it was a huge breakthrough. Yet, this fellow actually offered fifty gold coins?
It was just a moment ago that she said that the other party was robbing her... Why did it seem like the other party was being honest, while this Zhang Shi was no different from a robber?
If he wanted to buy something from her with this amount of money, no matter what it was, it was no different from daylight robbery.
"Fifty... gold coins?"
Appraiser Liu Chang had thought that the other party would offer a high price, but upon hearing those words, he nearly burst into laughter.
Where did this country bumpkin come from?
Spirit stones and gold coins were two completely different currencies, and there was no way to compare them. I offered fifty spirit stones, but you offered fifty gold coins. Why don't you just say that I'll give it to you...
You sure are thick-skinned!
He shot a disdainful glance at the other party.
To be able to offer fifty gold coins so confidently, you must be the only one in the entire trading company.
"I'm sorry, but I won't be selling it to you..."
Recovering from his shock, the booth owner hurriedly waved his hands.
He thought that the other party was a young master, but in the end, it turned out that the other party was just a pauper.
He had wasted so much of his time.
"You think that the price I offered isn't high enough?" Zhang Xuan didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled faintly.
The booth owner was speechless.
It wasn't that the price wasn't high enough, but that there was no price at all!
Have you ever seen anyone buying something with a piece of straw paper?
Even though straw paper was worth some money, it was still a far cry from real money.
"Appraiser Liu Chang, I'll be selling this item to you then. Is there anything else that caught your eye? I'll pack it up for you..."
Unable to be bothered with this fellow, the booth owner turned around.
"So, you're not selling it to me?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head, and a hint of pity flashed across his face. "Sigh, I was thinking that I could resolve your insomnia and nightmares as long as you sold it to me. Since you don't need it, forget it!"
After which, he casually threw the item in his hands away and turned around to leave.
"What did you say?"
However, upon hearing those words, his body stiffened, and his face paled. "Young master, please wait a moment."
Cultivators fought against the heavens and absorbed spiritual energy to nourish their bodies. Under normal circumstances, it was rare for them to have insomnia or nightmares. But for some reason, for the past half a year, he had been unable to sleep at night. Even when he fell asleep, he would wake up with a start.
It was fine if it was only for one or two days, but for half a year, even if he wasn't weak, he would still feel nervous and on the verge of collapse.
He had secretly looked for many doctors, but none of them could do anything. How could he not be excited when this person in front of him suddenly mentioned it?
Knowing that the other party would call his name, Zhang Xuan turned around and asked with a smile, "Have you been sweating profusely recently? Have you fallen asleep in the middle of the night and your body twitched ever so slightly like a corpse?"
"You … How did you know?" The stall owner was shocked once more.
He was unable to sleep at night. Even if he could make up for his deficit by cultivating day and night, his complexion was still not normal and slightly pale.
This was something that many doctors could tell at a glance, but … he was the only one who knew about it. He had never told anyone about it, not even his wife. She was the only one who knew about it.
How did the other party know about it? Furthermore, he even said it out loud?
"I can help you resolve it!" Zhang Xuan replied calmly.
"Help me resolve it?"
The stall owner's body swayed in disbelief.
"It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not, but … this is an opportunity for you. If you don't resolve it soon, your life will be in danger, and you won't be able to live for long! "Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Even though he wanted the Dragon Scale Amulet very much, he needed the other party to believe him first. If the other party didn't believe him, there was no point in saying anything else.
"I …" The stall owner hesitated.
A moment later, he gritted his teeth and looked at the middle-aged man before him. "Appraiser Liu Chang, I'm sorry, but it seems like I can't sell this to you …"
Money was important, but compared to one's life, one's body was nothing.
Over the past half a year, he had spent more than fifty spirit stones on physicians, but there had been no progress at all.
If the person before him could resolve it, he wouldn't mind giving the amulet to the other party.
As for whether he would believe him or not … the other party was able to see through the crux of his illness with a single glance. Perhaps, he might really be able to resolve it.
"Hmph, there are many people who spout nonsense here. You must be careful!"
Not expecting that his fifty spirit stones wouldn't be able to match the other party's fifty gold coins, Appraiser Liu Chang harrumphed. He turned to look at Zhang Xuan with narrowed eyes.
"Appraiser Liu, there's no need for you to worry about whether I am spouting nonsense or not!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Hmph, very well …"
With an awful expression, Appraiser Liu Chang flung his sleeves and left.
As an appraiser, he was respected by many. It would be embarrassing for him to continue pestering the other party here even if he couldn't buy the amulet.
Of course, that was on the premise that he didn't know the value of the amulet.
He only found it weird when he saw it, but he didn't recognize what it was. He only wanted to buy it out of curiosity.
As for why he couldn't buy it, he didn't think much of it either.
However, to be slapped in the face by a country bumpkin who came out of nowhere and spent so much money on nothing, he couldn't help but feel infuriated.
"Young master …"
Seeing Appraiser Liu leave with a displeased expression, the stall owner turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
If that fellow was really spouting nonsense and couldn't solve his problem, he would really burst into tears.
Offending a 2-star appraiser in a merchant shop was definitely an unwise move.
"Don't worry, since I can see through your problem, I'll be able to solve it for you! Come, show me a punch! "Zhang Xuan said.
"Yes!" Without much hesitation, the stall owner threw a punch forward.
He didn't expect that an ordinary stall owner would actually possess a cultivation of Half-Zongshi, just a step away from reaching Zongshi.
As expected of the League of Nations. With sufficient resources and master teachers, its overall strength was several times stronger than that of Tianxuan Kingdom.
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
The other party's cultivation was beneath him, and his Eye of Insight was already able to see through quite a few problems. However, if he wanted to treat the other party, he would have to rely on the Library of Heaven's Path to find the root of the problem.
"There are many valuable items in your hands, but they aren't bought. Instead, they are … ill-gotten gains. The items have an ancient luster to them, and there's a faint green on them. This is a result of the lack of air circulation. On top of that, there's a deathly aura emanating from you … If I'm not mistaken, you specialize in grave robbing! "
Walking up to the stall owner, Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings and said calmly.
"Y-you …" The stall owner's face paled, and he nearly collapsed to the floor in fright.
Grave robber sounded nice, but to be honest, he was just a grave robber.
No matter how formidable an expert was, be it Zhizun realm or Transcendent Mortal realm, they were unable to escape the punishment of time and eventually disappeared into the annals of history. After these people died, they would leave behind their tombs and ruins, and there would be some valuable items buried with them.
It was through excavating these tombs that Zhang Xuan built his business from scratch and selling the items of the dead that he was able to reach his current scale.
However, he had hidden this experience well. Many of his acquaintances weren't aware of it, and when the young man before him pointed it out, he nearly fainted from fright.
"Don't worry, what you do has nothing to do with me!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "Just tell me the origin of your illness."
"If you had only excavated some ordinary tombs, it wouldn't have been a problem. However, eight months ago, you excavated the tomb of a Transcendent Mortal expert. Am I right?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"This … Yes!" The stall owner gritted his teeth.
"If this Transcendent Mortal expert had died of old age, it would have been one thing. However, he was betrayed by his wife and killed by his good friend. As a result, the resentment in his heart never subsided … If I'm not mistaken, did you take one of his belongings and carry it with you?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"… Yes!" The stall owner nodded once more as he stared at the fellow before him as though he had seen a ghost.
The other party's tomb was extremely simple, and there wasn't anything valuable in it. Even so, he still took it with him … How did this fellow know of such a secret?
Furthermore, it was as though he had seen it with his own eyes.
"It's the resentment harnessed in this object that causes you to be unable to sleep at night. Once you fall asleep, you will convulse incessantly like a corpse … It's simple to solve your problem. You just have to return the jade token to its original position, find the owner of the tomb, treat his descendants well, and worship them properly.
Zhang Xuan.
Actually, this fellow's situation was similar to that of Apothecary Chen Xiao during the Pill Debate.
The latter forcefully took possession of an apothecary's cauldron and refused to exact vengeance for him. As a result, he was cursed.
After being afflicted with the resentment of a Transcendent Mortal expert for such a long period of time, it would have been strange if this didn't happen!
If he couldn't solve this problem, his lifespan would be greatly reduced. Most likely, he wouldn't be able to last for more than a few years before following in Apothecary Chen Xiao's footsteps.
Thus, he wasn't exaggerating when he said that he wouldn't live for long.
"Thank you, young master … for your guidance!"
The other party's words weren't wrong. Regarding Zhang Xuan's words, the stall owner believed most of it, and he was filled with gratitude.
He thought that it was a problem with his body, but to think that it would be this.
"This item … Young master, take it!"
Knowing the solution, the stall owner passed the Dragon Scale Amulet over.
He had no idea what this item was, but no matter how expensive it was, it was definitely worth it as long as it could save his life.
Zhang Xuan nodded. Keeping the item, he flicked his wrist and took out a pile of gold coins. There were exactly fifty of them, "This is the payment!"
"There's no need for it …"
The stall owner hurriedly waved his hands.
Rather than taking it, he might as well give it away. At the very least, he could still return the favor.
"How can I not use it? If I don't pay up, wouldn't that be equivalent to robbing me? "Zhang Xuan said righteously.
"This … Alright then!" The stall owner could only accept it.
"Even this works?"
Seeing the entire scene, Zhao Feiwu felt as if all of her knowledge had been overturned.
Buying a treasure worth fifty spirit stones with fifty gold coins, and the other party was still so grateful to her, treating her as if she was his father …
That was way too incredible!
As the daughter of the head of the League of Nations, as well as the princess of the League of Nations … She had seen plenty of formidable physicians. Yet, to be able to see through someone's illness with a single glance, and to even know about the occupation of grave robbers …
You aren't a physician …
You must be a fortune-teller …
