"Snow Silk, the silk produced by a mid-level spirit insect, the Snow Silkworm. It's extremely tough, flexible, and resistant to water and fire. It's truly the best material for crafting defensive magic artifacts. Especially for female cultivators' armor, it's both safe and beautiful."
After the grey-robed old man finished his introduction, the owner of the Snow Silk took the initiative to stand up and say, "Everyone, this is a Snow Silkworm that I have raised myself. Everyone knows that it is not easy for a Snow Silkworm to spin silk. It takes ten years to grow, ten years to spin a cocoon, and twenty years to spit out this silk. If it were not for the fact that I urgently need Spirit Stones, I would not be willing to sell it, so please give me a high price."
Although that master spoke with sincerity, the cultivators were still very disdainful. Although snow silk was difficult to obtain, it was not rare. After all, this thing could be regenerated. So what if it took 20 years to produce silk? They specialize in rearing snow silkworms, and their silks are harvested in batches every year. Thus, if you don't find it rare, you'll be lucky if you can sell it for 500 spirit stones.
What happened next, however, shocked all the cultivators there.
"Three hundred!"
"310!"
"400!"
"Four hundred and one!"
"Seven hundred!"
"Seven hundred and one!"
After a few rounds, the snow silk, which was worth 500 Spirit Stones, was sold for a high price of 1,000 Spirit Stones. The two people who were arguing were Cao Guang's grandson, Cao Junfeng, and the black servant, who had been silent all this while.
"1200!" Cao Junfeng gritted his teeth and said another price. Although he knew that this price was a big loss, he was determined to get this Snow Silk!
"One thousand two hundred and one." Ye Kong, on the other hand, was carefree and relaxed. Every time he bid, he would bid ten more spirit stones than Cao Junfeng. He looked like he was rich and didn't mind spending all the money.
"One thousand three hundred!" Cao Junfeng's bid had already reached its limit. Although he was Cao Guang's grandson, he still relied on spirit stones to make a living. He was at most a white-collar worker. How could he compare to a boss like Ye Kong?
"One thousand three hundred and one." Ye Kong took another bite of the Ice Berry. His expression showed that he didn't care even if the other party offered ten thousand spirit stones.
"One thousand four hundred!" Cao Junfeng shouted and hurriedly whispered to Cao Guang, "Grandpa, lend me a few thousand spirit stones."
"What are you doing? What do you want the snow silk for? Do you lack a defensive magical artifact? "Cao Guang couldn't understand. Was his grandson's brain flooded with water?
A few days ago, Cao Guang had given his grandson a very good defensive Dharma Artifact. He really didn't understand why his grandson wanted to buy this Snow Natural Silk. The most depressing thing was that this Snow Silk was not a rare item. Not to mention a thousand spirit stones, one could buy it for three or four hundred spirit stones if there was an opportunity.
"One thousand five hundred!" Cao Junfeng roared again.
However, what he heard was still Ye Kong's calm voice. "One thousand five hundred and one."
"Grandpa, quickly lend me a few thousand spirit stones, I must buy this Snow Silk." Cao Junfeng begged.
It wasn't that Cao Guang was reluctant to part with the Spirit Stones. He had spent 15,000 Spirit Stones on the handle of the Psychic Talisman Brush for his grandson. But he didn't want to be a fool!
If they continued to carry it like this, they might not be able to buy the Snow Silk even if they offered five thousand spirit stones.
No one would say anything if he spent some spirit stones on a talisman brush for his grandson. After all, the higher-ups of the Cloud Talisman Sect were all members of the Cao Family. But if he spent a few thousand Spirit Stones to buy something worth a few hundred Spirit Stones, wouldn't that be a waste of Spirit Stones? What would the other Yuanying Patriarchs think if they knew? What would the disciples in the sect think if they knew?
Cao Guang had to consider these things, but his grandson urged him anxiously and seemed like he wouldn't stop until he got it.
So Cao Guang didn't say much and threw down a black bag. "This is all I have left. Do as you see fit. I'm going back to the sect."
Once Cao Guang left, the other disciples hurriedly stood up. If they didn't leave now, were they going to wait for Cao Junfeng to borrow money from them?
After Cao Guang left, Cao Junfeng opened the bag of Spirit Stones and smiled bitterly. There were only 500 spirit stones in the bag.
Cao Junfeng still had 1,500 spirit stones. If he added them, he would have slightly more than 2,000 spirit stones. However, Cao Junfeng thought about it and didn't continue bidding. Although he was a little arrogant, he was a smart person. He knew that even if he bid 2,000 spirit stones, the black guy wouldn't stop bidding. So he chose not to bid.
"One thousand five hundred and ten spirit stones! This Snow Silk will be bought by this cultivator. "The grey-robed elder made the final decision.
The cultivator who bought the Snow Silk was naturally overjoyed. He originally wanted to sell it for 400 to 500 spirit stones, but he didn't expect it to be sold for such a high price. Even if he had to pay the Yi Family Enterprise 10% commission, he would have made a huge profit from this transaction.
Although it was a little expensive, Ye Kong didn't mind. Spirit stones came quickly anyway. A few thousand spirit stones could be earned in minutes.
However, what puzzled Ye Kong was that Cao Junfeng looked like he was determined to get the Snow Silk. But why didn't he increase the price even after he got the spirit stones? Was he tricked by this kid?
Ye Kong didn't mind spending more spirit stones, but if he was tricked, he would be very annoyed.
But obviously, that wasn't the case. That Cao Junfeng was really determined to get the Snow Silk.
Ye Kong handed over the Spirit Stones and took the Snow Silk in his hands. This Snow Silk was really good stuff. The thread was thin but extremely tough. Although it was as thin as a strand of hair, it wasn't easy to break it with your bare hands. Thinking about it, this silk could be spun into clothes and made into a defensive artefact. It would be even tougher and could defend against ordinary artefacts.
At the same time, this Snow Silk was different from mortal silk. After holding it in his hand, it felt smooth and slightly cool. It must be very comfortable to wear.
Ye Kong was looking at it when Cao Junfeng walked over.
"Daoist friend, can we talk about it?"
Ye Kong didn't even raise his head and replied, "No."
Cao Junfeng's face turned red. This kid really didn't give him face. His reply was so good that he didn't know what to say. Originally, he wanted to say that if you buy it for 1500, I will pay 2000. If it's not enough, I can add more things. But the other party refused, it seemed that he didn't care about earning a few hundred spirit stones.
Cao Junfeng was helpless. He could only change his approach and said, "Daoist friend, actually you don't know, this Snow Silk is not what I need."
"Oh?" Ye Kong raised his head and looked at him.
Seeing that there seemed to be some hope, Cao Junfeng hurriedly said, "In fact, I bought it for a junior sister of mine. My junior sister is very pitiful. The Foundation Establishment Elixir that originally belonged to her was forcibly taken away. She has reached the perfected Qi Refinement realm and only lacks a Foundation Establishment Elixir … Right now, she lacks an opportunity, which is the sect competition of our Cloud Talisman Sect. If she can get into the top ten, she can get a Foundation Establishment Elixir. So I'm going to buy this Snow Silk to refine a defensive armor for her so that she has more hope of winning in the competition."
It turned out that he was using this to please his little lover. Ye Kong snorted and asked, "But what does this have to do with me?"
Cao Junfeng hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and said, "This Snow Silk is not a precious thing. I just need it urgently. Why don't you transfer this Snow Silk to me? Not only can I earn Spirit Stones, but I can also help my lover. Why not? " Cao Junfeng not only pretended to be pitiful but also bewitched him, "Fellow Daoist, please fulfill my wish. This is my love plan … There are many beautiful women in our Cloud Talisman Sect. Shall I introduce two to you?"
You were so arrogant just now, but now you're playing this trick? Let me tell you, it doesn't work. Ye Kong rolled his eyes at him, put the Snow Silk into the storage bag, and said, "No need, see you later."
Seeing that Ye Kong was about to leave, Cao Junfeng flew into a rage out of humiliation. This guy was really hateful. Why didn't anything he said work? If the soft approach didn't work, he would use the hard approach.
"Fellow Daoist! Don't forget that the Sishui City you live in belongs to our Cloud Talisman Sect! Although our Cloud Talisman Sect won't kill people for their treasures, a person who is blinded by love can do anything! "
Ye Kong sneered, "What? Are you threatening me? I'm telling you, I'm buying this for a woman! Humph, you want to pick up girls without Spirit Stones? If you dare to rob me, I dare to kill you! "
