As the opening hours approached, Mo Tiankong also had some free time. The number of martial artists who came to the store at night was relatively low, and Mo Tiankong had already mentioned the store's opening hours a few times, so most of the martial artists still remembered.
That's right, there was nothing wrong with it. He just had to mention it a few times before they remembered. As for the little blackboard, it was just a decoration. The martial artists who came in never looked at it.
Mo Tiankong felt that he didn't need to specifically advertise the next time there was an event. As the number of martial artists who came to the store increased, there shouldn't be a lack of customers.
If he directly wrote it on the blackboard, would these people even look at it? Mo Tiankong planned to teach these people a lesson.
Every time there was someone who didn't like the blackboard, ignoring it and not even glancing at it. That's right, it was Yu Xiuyuan.
Mo Tiankong was also very convinced. It was not as useful as rumors. Just casually spreading it, and the martial artists outside would know.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Mo Tiankong was puzzled. It was already so late, and it was almost the end of the store's opening hours.
There were quite a few people, and the footsteps were a bit messy. Mo Tiankong raised his head and saw a group of people wearing black robes.
Could it be that they were robbers again? Didn't the news of the Lian brothers spread? But thinking about it, Mo Tiankong didn't care.
After all, it was still safe inside the store. Although the System was very naughty, it was still reliable.
"Excuse me, are you Store Manager Mo?" The leading martial artist lifted his black robe and revealed his face.
When the other party opened his mouth and lifted his black robe, Mo Tiankong saw that it was a young martial artist. He immediately let down his guard.
From the other party's clothes, he could tell that he was either rich or noble. Silently, he used Appraisal.
"It's me." Mo Tiankong didn't have anything to hide. There were many martial artists who knew him, and it was obvious that they were here for him.
Otherwise, he would have hopped over to the container long ago. Moreover, he was an unfamiliar face and was not familiar with him. It was impossible for him to chat with someone he was familiar with.
"I am Yan Li, Yan Xiu's brother." After confirming Mo Tiankong's identity, Yan Li introduced himself.
Mo Tiankong's Appraisal also confirmed that the man in front of him was indeed the second prince of the Aquamarine Empire, Yan Li. However, Mo Tiankong did not know why he had come.
"Store Manager Mo, Yan Li is here to ask for the runes of the Teleportation Formation," Yan Li continued.
Mo Tiankong finally understood why he had come. It was another person who had come to ask for the runes for the teleportation array. Hadn't he already rejected him before?
This time around, Yan Xiu was also here to ask for the formation inscriptions for the Teleportation Formation. Furthermore, it was not at the request of the Martial Emperor, but purely on his own accord.
After knowing that Yan Xiu had failed, Yan Li had been plotting and only came today.
Moreover, he did not want to attract attention, so he wore a black robe and purposely chose to come at night.
If he could ask for the runes of the Teleportation Formation, he would naturally gain more points in the Martial Emperor's heart. Furthermore, the Teleportation Formation was such an important item. If the royal family could create it, it would be a great achievement.
Yan Li's talent in martial arts was not good enough. He was older than Yan Xiu by four years and his cultivation had only reached rank one Martial King. Because of this, the Martial Emperor favored Yan Xiu.
In order to gain a foothold in the Tianxuan Continent, one's cultivation was undoubtedly very important. Furthermore, Yan Xiu was still young and had a lot of room for growth.
However, Yan Xiu did not think much of it. When he sat on the throne, he would be able to cultivate to a decent level with the accumulation of vast amounts of resources. The Emperor would also not need to personally take action. The empire had many capable generals.
The Martial Emperor was in the prime of his life, so the Aquamarine Empire had yet to appoint a successor. However, it would happen sooner or later. If he could ask for the runes of the Teleportation Formation, not to mention the Martial Emperor's opinion, there would be many people in the imperial court who would support him. In addition, the Martial Emperor's impression of him would improve. Then, his chances would be much higher.
With this goal in mind and the preparations he had made, Yan Li was confident that he could get it.
"I'm sorry, the teleportation formation is on the shelf over there." Mo Tiankong rejected immediately.
Where would he get the runes of the teleportation formation for you? More importantly, even if he asked the System, the System would not give it to him.
"Store Manager Mo, don't be in such a hurry to reject." Yan Li understood Mo Tiankong's intention, but he did not mind it and continued to speak.
"Store Manager Mo, this is a rare treasure that I obtained by chance." Yan Li then took out a wooden box from his spatial ring and carefully opened it.
Inside the box was a crystal clear petal. It was extremely beautiful.
Mo Tiankong only felt that it was beautiful, but he had no idea what it was. He did not even recognize many of the flowers and plants on the Antelope Mountain Range.
He casually used Appraisal on it.
Name: Water Lotus Petal
Grade: Earth Grade High Grade
Effect: After use, there is a chance of comprehending the Power of Water. Swallow the entire Water Lotus and you will be able to comprehend the Power of Water.
Looking at the appraisal result, Mo Tiankong could not feel how precious this item was. Mo Tiankong did not have any concept of cultivation, because it was not difficult to raise one's level.
Furthermore, there was only one petal. How insincere. If he wanted to take it out, he should at least give him one. If he was unlucky, he would not be able to comprehend the Power of Water.
Mo Tiankong was a little disdainful. Although it was a Earth Grade High Grade item, it seemed to be useless to him. He was already a Martial Emperor and had comprehended the Power of Gold. He might not be able to comprehend the Power of Water with just one petal.
This information was a little outdated. However, Mo Tiankong had only recently advanced to the Martial Emperor level. When Yan Xiu came, he was still a Rank Nine Martial Emperor.
However, this item was very attractive to Martial Kings and even Martial Emperors. It was also because of this that Yan Li had the confidence to come and ask for formation runes.
Yan Li had spent almost all of his savings over the years to finally bid for this petal. It was priceless. Zhang Yun and the others had been stuck at the Martial Emperor level for so long and could not break through. It was clear how difficult it was to comprehend the Power of the Five Elements. If they had this item, they might be able to advance.
"The Water Lotus Petal is good stuff." At this moment, it was Mo Tiankong's turn to say seriously.
If not for Appraisal, Mo Tiankong would not have known what it was.
"Store Manager Mo, you have a good eye. You should know the effects of the Water Lotus, right?" Yan Li was stunned for a moment, then recovered and said.
"Uh, comprehending the Power of Water." Mo Tiankong paused. Yan Li was talking about the Water Lotus, so Mo Tiankong thought for a moment and said, "That's right.
If Store Manager Mo is willing to sell me the formation runes of the Teleportation Formation, then this Water Lotus Petal is a small gift to Store Manager Mo, "Yan Li said calmly.
From what he heard, this Water Lotus Petal was just a bonus. He could still bid for the formation runes of the Teleportation Formation. This was a little too much.
Although this item was useless to him, Mo Tiankong knew how precious it was just by looking at its grade. Natural treasures were rare, and Earth Grade High Level treasures were even rarer. Furthermore, it was used to break through to the next realm, so it was even more precious. It was priceless.
Yan Li had begged his mother for a long time before finally getting this petal. This was a treasure that even the Imperial Family treasured.
"Cough cough, second prince, I'm sorry, but this is the foundation of the store. I can't sell it," Mo Tiankong said tactfully.
He hoped that Yan Li would be generous enough to give it to him. Although it was useless to him, he could sell it for a lot of spirit stones. He wasn't too sure about the market.
It seemed he would have to read more books when he had the time. At the very least, he would have to understand the market price.
"Store Manager Mo, here are ten million spirit stones." Yan Li took off his spatial ring and placed it on the counter.
Damn, he still had a backup plan. Ten million spirit stones! Compared to his own net worth of three hundred thousand spirit stones, Mo Tiankong's eyes almost popped out.
"System, do you have a guide to how to create a Teleportation Formation? Ten million spirit stones and this flower. How about we split it fifty-fifty?" Mo Tiankong's heart was moved. Could he just give up on ten million spirit stones? He was being buried by spirit stones.
How much could the Auspicious Flower be improved? Would he be able to walk sideways when he went out in the future? There was also that Water Lotus petal. It was priceless. How many spirit stones would he get if he sold it?
"System, System, are you there?" Mo Tiankong shouted in his heart. However, the System seemed to have disconnected and didn't respond to Mo Tiankong.
"How about forty-sixty?"
"At most thirty-seventy. How about you take seventy and I take thirty?"
Mo Tiankong felt that it didn't matter even if someone else could create one. The general store had other items that could continuously attract martial artists. Moreover, the price of teleportation formations was cheaper than the general store.
Even if someone could create one, the cost would be very high. It definitely wouldn't be cheaper than the general store. In other words, it didn't matter.
Of course, that was Mo Tiankong's thoughts. Of course, the System didn't care about him.
After waiting for a while, the System still didn't respond. Mo Tiankong gave up.
"Sorry, I'm not selling," Mo Tiankong said helplessly.
"Store Manager Mo, please reconsider. The price can be negotiated," Yan Li said unwillingly.
Yan Xiu also noticed Mo Tiankong's expression. He was obviously tempted, but in the end, he still rejected him.
"Second Prince, I really can't sell it." The System still didn't care about him. Mo Tiankong also gave up on this idea.
What was there to negotiate? The copyright wasn't with him, it was with the System. The System's attitude made it clear that there was no room for negotiation.
"Alright, then I'll have to bother Store Manager Mo." Seeing that Mo Tiankong rejected him multiple times, the purchase was a reality. Yan Li opened his mouth and said, then turned and walked out of the store.
This time, Mo Tiankong was stunned. Didn't he want this thing? He left just like that. He really could pick up a bargain.
However, reality proved that he was thinking too much. The two martial artists behind Yan Li picked up the things and walked out of the store.
Indeed, there was no free lunch in the world. The opening hours were over. Yes, the System notified him.
The System didn't disconnect because it didn't want to talk to him. Mo Tiankong felt mentally tired.
Yan Li and the rest also put on their black robes again. When they walked to the teleportation circle, Yan Li spoke.
"Chi Hu, you stay. I need the runes of the teleportation circle to give to father," Yan Li stared at the teleportation circle and said calmly.
After saying this, Yan Li stepped into the teleportation circle and disappeared. Chi Hu also turned and disappeared into the darkness.
"Store Manager Mo …" In the store, Mo Tiankong also stood up and was about to close the store. However, at this time, a loud shout was heard.
Mo Tiankong looked at the figure flying over from the street. What's going on in the middle of the night?
