A Greedy Baldy
If anyone else were in this situation, they'd definitely think they'd run into bandits.
In reality, that wasn't the case!
This baldy was a bit different from the bandits in the Divine Mountains. He'd gone through the stages of becoming a sky supreme, and he'd experienced the robberies of the bandits.
Given his own experience, he didn't like the way bandits handled things.
Although he made a living by robbing others, he wouldn't kill them. In truth, his subordinates were all people he'd saved from the bandits. Ever since, they'd followed him loyally.
They robbed, but compared to the bandits, they were kinder.
"As expected, little brother."
When the bald man heard that, he laughed. He wasn't surprised at all that Ye Zichen would react like this.
He'd seen this sort of situation countless times. He'd long since grown accustomed to it.
Their team was small, and they had few ways to earn money.
It was great news for them to be able to meet a hothead ascender. If he could take down Ye Zichen, they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for a few months at the very least. If they ran into a big fish, they'd have enough to eat and wear for years to come.
He just didn't know how many treasures they could squeeze out of Ye Zichen.
He waved at Ye Zichen's subordinates and smiled.
"This meal isn't strange at all. Thirty thousand aureus. Little brother, you've just arrived on the Divine Mountains, so you probably don't have any aureus. But that's fine …. Little brother, you can also use celestial coins to exchange, but that'll require an ocean's worth of them. "
"I left all my celestial coins with my friends in the Lower Lands, so I'd better use something else as collateral. Big Bro, what do you accept?" asked Ye Zichen.
That's great!
The bald man couldn't help but cheer inwardly. He loved sensible kids like Ye Zichen.
In truth, whether Ye Zichen used celestial coins or other items as collateral, the baldy had an absolute advantage. In a situation like this, the ratio of celestial coins to aureus was whatever he said it was, and he'd be the one to determine the value of the items.
Thirty thousand aureus was just an excuse. His goal was to draw out the exchange and celestial coins.
"We accept any item as collateral. Pills, artifacts, talismans, you can all use them as collateral. However, little brother, you should know that this place is different from the Lower Lands. What's valuable in the Lower Lands is worthless here. "
"I know that."
Ye Zichen nodded obediently, then took out a set of demigod battle armor from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Ye Zichen had only obtained it after clearing the second floor of the pagoda.
"I got this by chance when I was in the Arcana Realm. Big Brother, look …"
A Quasi Relic.
When the armor was taken out, Baldy's eyes widened. It was a full set of armor.
Battle armors were generally more expensive than weapons because they required more materials. An ordinary set of demigod battle armor would cost at least a million aureus on the God Mountain.
"Could it be that I've encountered a rich idiot?"
The baldy's gaze towards Ye Zichen changed. He wasn't blinded by the benefits of the demigod armor.
On the contrary, he became much more clear-headed.
Those who could wield demigod armor in the Lower Lands were all dragons and phoenixes among men. There was no way they would be tricked so easily.
However, the kid in front of him looked really dumb.
Did fortune befall fools?
It didn't matter whether this kid was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger or whether fortune truly befell fools. The bald man had absolute confidence in Ye Zichen's strength as a sky supreme.
"This armor is a demigod artifact," said the bald man.
The bald man told Ye Zichen the grade of the armor. He didn't think that Ye Zichen didn't know.
"Demigod artifacts are rare treasures in the Lower Lands, but they're not so valuable in the God Realm. Divine artifacts were everywhere on the streets. Even the farmers who plowed the fields used divine artifacts. Little Brother, your demigod artifact …. "
The bald man shook his head, then put on a troubled expression.
"I'll just give you five hundred aureus."
"That cheap?"
Ye Zichen grimaced, his eyes filled with suspicion. However, when the bald man's gaze turned cold, Ye Zichen immediately shrank back in fear, then scowled miserably as he pulled out other treasures from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
The bald man's eyes widened in shock ….
This was definitely a big fish.
Although that was what he thought, he was still trying to appraise the priceless treasures of the Divine Mountains. Anyone who heard this would want to beat him to death.
"Supreme Pills. These pills aren't bad. Three hundred aureus a bottle."
"Black jade. This is an ordinary material. Fifty aureus a kilogram."
"Ten-year Divine Wood. This material is relatively rare. A thousand aureus a piece."
The ingredients and pills Ye Zichen took out practically filled up the entire table. The subordinates in the tavern all stared in shock, their mouths dry up. Even the bald man couldn't help but gulp. In his heart, he wanted to kill Ye Zichen and steal his treasures.
Fortunately, he had at least the slightest bit of conscience. He didn't want to harm Ye Zichen's life.
"Little Brother, these pills you've just pulled out are worth around twenty-seven thousand aureus. If you add a bit more, you'll have thirty thousand."
The bald man had already pushed the price down to twenty-seven thousand.
It was easy to imagine how much Ye Zichen's treasures would be worth if he sold them to a proper merchant association.
To tell the truth, the bald man wanted to give up. These treasures were already enough for them to live a carefree life for a hundred years, or even a thousand years. However, he still wanted to be greedy.
If Ye Zichen really couldn't afford it, he might as well give it up. He'd also owe Ye Zichen a favor.
"This baldy really is greedy!"
Although Ye Zichen didn't know much about the God Realm's prices, he was sure his treasures were worth far more than thirty thousand aureus.
But this baldy wasn't satisfied. He wanted to squeeze more out of him!
How greedy!
Fortunately, he didn't get greedy at the sight of Ye Zichen's riches. At least he had some humanity left in him.
"I don't have any more."
Ye Zichen scowled and pretended to be at a loss.
When he saw Ye Zichen like this, the bald man couldn't bear to see him like this. Just as he was about to let this pitiful little supreme off the hook ….
"I don't have any more pills or talismans, but I do have some spiritual beasts. Big Bro, do you want them?"
"Spiritual beasts?"
What was the most expensive thing in the God Realm?
Pills?
Treasures?
Talismans?
Materials?
None of them!
In the God Realm, the most expensive, and also the rarest, were spiritual beasts.
The definition of a Spirit Beast was a Divine Beast that could be tamed and turned into a servant. Having a Spirit Beast was a symbol of status. Any Divine Beast level Spirit Beast was priceless in the black market!
This little guy actually had a spiritual beast? This was a huge surprise!
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course I'll take them!"
At first, he was just about to give up, but when he heard about spiritual beasts, he instantly changed his mind.
This baldy was just too greedy. Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to play with him any longer. He connected his divine sense to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
