Without even seeing the goods, Huang Xiaolong directly took out ten billion divine grade spirit stones as a deposit. What a generous and wealthy buyer!
The two people on the other side were stunned. They had seen rich and overbearing people, but they had never seen someone who didn't take money seriously. Li Zhen signaled the red-clothed disciple with his eyes, and the latter respectfully walked up to Yue Qianchou, taking the storage bracelet from him. Li Zhen scanned the storage bracelet with his divine sense and discovered that it was filled to the brim with divine grade spirit stones. There were indeed ten billion of them.
Then, he looked up at the huge storage bracelets in Yue Qianchou's hands. If there were ten billion in each storage bracelet, then he should have at least a trillion in his hands!
My goodness, I've really met a big buyer! Li Zhen's eyes lit up as he held the Storage Bracelet in his hand. He stood up and bowed to Yue Qianchou, "Since you're so sincere, although I can't make the decision on my own, I'll have to report to the Town Elder and try my best to close the deal. Please wait for a moment, I'll be back soon!"
Yue Qianchou waved his hand disapprovingly, indicating for him to leave quickly and return quickly. Li Zhen raised his hand again to ask him to wait for a moment, then left quickly.
In the back hall, Huo Lianqing took the storage bangle from Li Zhen and checked it. After confirming the number, he returned it and frowned slightly. "You purchased such a large number of celestial artifacts in one go. You didn't ask him about the purpose of the purchase?"
"I did, but he refused to tell me." Li Zhen thought about it and said, "I suspect that he's buying for the Underworld, so I don't dare to agree."
"Netherworld? Indeed, only the Netherworld can use up such a large number of low-grade immortal artifacts at once. " If it was in the past, the Mythical Fire Palace wouldn't have dared to sell so many weapons to the Netherworld at one go. But ever since Wangqing and his son gained power, for some unknown reason, the sect actually hinted to him to loosen the restrictions on sales to the Netherworld. He was also planning for this matter, but he didn't expect that a large buyer would come knocking on his door.
After some thought, Huo Lianqing said, "Sell it to him." Then, he added, "Since he's a big buyer, invite him to my place. Then, you go and check out the things he wants and bring them over. Try to round it up as much as possible and leave the odd bits to maintain the popularity of the daily business."
"Yes! But Elder … "Li Zhen was a little hesitant." If we do this, it'll be the equivalent of emptying the branch. The Heartless Palace has already reserved three million low-grade immortal artifacts for the newly formed Itinerant Cultivator Alliance. If we give them all at once, what if the Heartless Palace comes to collect the goods and we can't hand them over? "
Huo Lianqing waved his hand disapprovingly. "That's not a problem. I'll immediately contact the sect and get them to send those low-grade immortal artifacts over as soon as possible. It'll be just nice to get rid of most of the useless things in the sect. This is a good thing. If the Heartless Palace comes to collect the goods, I'll explain. Just do as I say."
Li Zhen naturally accepted the order and soon brought Yue Qianchou over. Huo Lianqing looked at him and found that he couldn't see through his cultivation, so he invited him to sit down and have some tea. Then, he asked him some questions. Yue Qianchou sat there calmly and pretended not to know him. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Huo Lianqing said some insignificant things to kill time.
It didn't take long for Li Zhen to check the number of the items. Li Zhen only needed to confirm the number of the items before he took out six Storage Bracelets and placed them on the tea table in front of Yue Qianchou. He explained, "Two million pieces of First-grade Celestial Artifacts, four hundred thousand pieces of Second-grade Celestial Artifacts, two hundred thousand pieces of Third-grade Celestial Artifacts, ten thousand pieces of Fourth-grade Celestial Artifacts, eight hundred pieces of Fifth-grade Celestial Artifacts, and eleven pieces of Sixth-grade Celestial Artifacts.
Yue Qianchou did not check them carefully. He just took each of the six storage bracelets and quickly checked the amount inside. Then he took them all in his hand and asked, "No need to count. I trust the reputation of the Mythical Fire Palace. How many spirit stones do you need in total?"
It was rare to see such a straightforward customer! Li Zhen smiled respectfully at Huang Xiaolong, "According to the market price, the total value is 202.042 million divine grade spirit stones, not a piece more, not a piece less."
"Bang!" Yue Qianchou slammed the table, causing the teacups on the table to shatter into pieces. His eyes widened in anger as he snapped, "This can't be right! Why is it according to the market price again? Didn't you say that there would be a discount? Is this how your Mythical Fire Palace conducts business? "
Such a huge commotion startled several disciples who rushed in from outside. Huo Lianqing and Li Zhen were stunned for a moment, thinking that they had run into some troublemaker. But when they heard the reason for Huang Xiaolong's anger, they shook their heads with a wry smile. This person might be straightforward, but his temper was truly fiery. He simply couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. Wasn't it obvious that he hadn't finished his words?
Huo Lianqing waved his hand at the disciples who rushed in, "It's none of your business, just a small misunderstanding. All of you, leave!" After the disciples left, Huo Lianqing didn't seem to mind that they had broken his things. He smiled amiably at Yue Qianchou, "Brother Niu has misunderstood. Since we said that there will be a discount, we can sit down and discuss the price!" Then he turned to Li Zhen and said, "Serve Brother Niu some tea, let Brother Niu calm down."
A short while later, the broken things were cleaned up, and a new cup of tea was placed on the table. Yue Qianchou sat down resentfully, placing the six storage bracelets back on the table. He harrumphed coldly, "It seems like I've misunderstood. I wonder how much discount Elder Huo is prepared to give me?"
Huo Lianqing revealed a warm smile, as if the customer was God, "How about this! We'll give Brother Niu twenty billion divine grade spirit stones. Forget about the odd bits, just take it that the two million grade one immortal artifacts and four hundred thousand grade two immortal artifacts are free gifts. What does Brother Niu think? "
"Are you joking? Over two hundred billion divine grade spirit stones and you're only offering a discount of forty-two million divine grade spirit stones?" Yue Qianchou jumped to his feet with a furious expression, as if he was fooled. His hand reached out to Li Zhen, "This is intolerable, return ten billion divine grade spirit stones to me, I don't want to buy anymore."
Li Zhen's expression stiffened, noticing that the other side wasn't as generous as he had imagined. Huo Lianqing smiled awkwardly, "Brother Niu, don't be in such a hurry, name a suitable price!"
Yue Qianchou retracted his hand hearing Huo Lianqing's words. He crossed his fingers and pondered for a while, then extended two fingers toward Huo Lianqing and Huo Lianqing, "Fixed price, two hundred billion divine grade spirit stones."
The moment Huang Xiaolong said that, Huo Lianqing's smile froze. Cutting out two billion divine grade spirit stones in one go, what was the difference between this and robbery? Huo Lianqing's face sank, "Brother Niu, you're not sincere ah!" Huo Lianqing also extended two fingers, emphasizing each word clearly, "Two hundred million, I'll give Brother Niu another two hundred million divine grade spirit stones, this is the limit of what I can decide, a total of 201.8 billion."
Although he had already made a big concession, little did he know that even if he agreed to the other side's offer of two hundred billion divine grade spirit stones, Yue Qianchou wouldn't buy it. Yue Qianchou would think twice before lowering the price by another two billion, forcing the other side to disagree.
Yue Qianchou sneered, then extended his hand toward Li Zhen, "Return the ten billion divine grade spirit stones to me."
Li Zhen looked weakly at Huo Lianqing, but Huo Lianqing's face darkened, "Brother Niu, you'd better think it through. Other than my Mythical Fire Palace, you won't be able to find another place in the three worlds with such a favorable price. If Brother Niu is really sincere, I'll treat it as a friend and give you another one hundred million discount. What does Brother Niu think? "
"Didn't you just say that a discount of two hundred million is the limit of what you can decide, now you're going back on your words and offering another one hundred million?" Yue Qianchou chuckled coldly, "Little do you know that I'm a person who values character the most when doing business. If it's something I like, even if it's another ten billion, I'm still willing."
Huo Lianqing was depressed. Wasn't this how business was conducted? Are you saying that I'm not pleasing to the eye?
Before Huo Lianqing could say anything, Yue Qianchou flicked his sleeves and strode out, saying as he walked, "It's an insult to my character to continue talking nonsense with you. In any case, your hands are already dirty after the ten billion, it's beneath me to ask for it back. You can keep it and spend it slowly!" Disdain was written all over his face as he strode away.
Listening to Huang Xiaolong's words, it sounded like he was putting himself on a pedestal, giving others the impression that he was a mysophobe.
Huo Lianqing and Li Zhen exchanged a glance, this was the first time they met such a strange person. Li Zhen blanked for a moment, "Elder! Do you want this disciple to chase him back and have a talk? "
"Do you think you can come to an agreement with this kind of person?" Huo Lianqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I've seen all kinds of people in my life, but not this kind of person. He really has too much money and nowhere to spend it. But ten billion divine grade spirit stones is not a small amount, so leave it for now. If one day he regrets it and comes back to ask for it, we still have to return it to him. After all, no amount of money can exchange for our Mythical Fire Palace's golden reputation. "
"This disciple understands." Li Zhen saluted respectfully, then put away the six storage bracelets on the table, turned around and left.
However, a short while later, Li Zhen ran back in a flustered manner, his voice anxious, "Not good! Not good! Elder, we've been tricked! "
Huo Lianqing frowned, "How many times have I told you to stay calm? What happened, tell me slowly, what are you panicking for? "
Li Zhen quickly and anxiously recounted the matter. It turned out that when he brought the items into the storage, according to the rules, the disciples who entered the storage room had to check the items again, otherwise, if something was missing, the disciples who entered the storage room wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. In the end, other than one storage bracelet with ten billion divine grade spirit stones inside, the other six were empty. Li Zhen was not a fool, a moment's thought told him that someone had swapped the storage bracelets.
Hearing this, Huo Lianqing was dumbstruck. Just now, when the items were placed back on the table, he had been keeping a close watch on them. There shouldn't have been a chance to swap them out ah! Could it be that when the other party smashed the table …
"You stupid pig! Who did you bring? If more than two hundred billion worth of treasures are gone just like that, you and I can forget about having a good life. Hurry up and send people out to search! "Huo Lianqing bellowed, taking the lead and dashed out in a hurry...
