The old man was startled. Only then did he realize that the other party was treating him as a swindler. It seemed like he had not played this kind of trick for a long time. He was a little rusty. That was good too. He wanted to see this person's character. This was also his purpose.
In this cultivation world, there was no help for no reason. There was always a purpose and cause. He could come here because of his position. He knew a lot of secrets that the top cultivators did not know.
The purpose might not be in front of him. He might not even be able to reap the rewards. But as a cultivator, he was half a step into the realm of half-immortal. He was already used to preparing for a rainy day. He was used to making arrangements in advance. Especially in this turbulent era, this unpredictable universe.
Standing in his position, there were some things that he had to do. Because he was not alone.
"Little friend, you are so cautious. You make my heart cold! If you think I am a swindler, why don't you cut me down with your sword? That way you can save your breath. "
Lou Xiaoyi sneered, "Why would I cut you down? At most, it would be an attempt! But old man, your method is not very good. You start with a thousand purple. No wonder you can't open a deal. Based on your bidding, even if you sit in front of the tablet for a hundred years, you won't be able to negotiate a deal! "
The old man immediately understood where his loophole was. He could not be blamed. He had not participated in this kind of small matter for a thousand years. It was all handled by the other disciples. To him, there were too many things involved. Every aspect, inside and outside. How could he care about the black market price of his own tablet?
"Oh? Little friend, why don't you tell me about the current market price? I, I have not been swindling for many years. I am a little rusty. "
This old man was a little strange. Could he be a swindler with a story?
Lou Xiaoyi was not short of time. He did not mind staying here for a while. Although his first judgment was that this old man might be the accomplice of those middlemen, he realized that something was wrong. Unless this old man was a genius swindler who could change his opinion through a story?
"The official price in Tian Country is twenty thousand. The black market starts at five thousand. I don't know how much it will be in the future! Then old man, your price of one thousand purple, how many people do you think will believe it? "
The old man was shocked. He laughed and said, "A thousand years have passed. The price of goods has skyrocketed! The changes in the general trend are so terrifying! However, this method of assisting the Dao has also improved greatly! "
He stopped joking around and pointed at the man. "Single-eared! When I saw you fight in the Echo Valley, you have the ability of an old friend. Since you have come to my Tian Country and want to enter the Five Elements Dao Stele, is there any reason to refuse?
My surname is Pang, you can call me Daoist Pang. I am the Lord of the Five Elements, how can I let you come here in high spirits and return in disappointment? "
There was no need to beat around the bush. It was a small matter that was not worth wasting too much time on. With a wave of his hand, a mysterious energy flowed into one of the stones. Immediately, there was something different about it. However, even though Lou Xiaoyi was so close, he still could not tell what the difference was.
"If that's the case, do you think 1,000 Purple Purity is worth it?"
Lou Xiaoyi knew that he had made a mistake. He didn't know who Daoist Pang was, because at the scene of the Echo Valley, there were dozens of Yang Spirits. Which one of them could he see their true faces? He didn't even need to do it deliberately. His little bit of divine sense couldn't penetrate it, and he had never had such thoughts.
He didn't think that the old man had any reason to lie to him. It wasn't worth it! In front of the Yang Spirit, he was still an ant.
But he was very curious. Why did Daoist Pang give him such an opportunity? Was it because of his amazing performance at the Echo Valley? Or was it because of the ability of an old friend?
Old friend? Where was this old friend? Zhou Xian? Or...
He obediently took out a thousand strands of Purple Purity and offered it, but he didn't ask anything. If he knew that the other party would naturally say it, and if he didn't want to say it, it would be awkward if he asked.
"Senior's price is indeed preferential. This junior shouldn't take advantage of this, but on the path of cultivation, there is no harm in being prepared. This disciple is also a lazy spirit gatherer, so I'll accept your kindness!"
Daoist Pang was very satisfied. This young man was very straightforward. He was not pretentious and knew how to be humble. Very good.
"Then let's go!"
Lou Xiaoyi bowed again and slowly retreated. However, he did not return to Tian Country. Instead, he continued to move forward. Obviously, he had no intention of immediately entering the Five Elements Dao Stele.
Watching him leave, Daoist Pang was silent.
Old friend? It wasn't a lie! There really was such a person! It was just that he was not a friend, but an enemy!
The enemy was also a Swordsman, and there was more than one! Since ten thousand years ago, Heaven's Choice had frequently come, causing the entire continent to be in chaos! Of course, cultivators who weren't high enough didn't know. Not to mention Jin Dan's Yuanying, even Supremes were rarely heard of.
Those Swordsman only dealt with Half-Immortals!
Half-Immortals wanted face. Who would be willing to speak of a Half-Immortal's body being hung up and tortured? Therefore, they all swallowed their teeth and never spread it outside. It was a disgrace to the continent!
It wasn't until several thousand years ago that Heaven's Choice disappeared without a trace. He had only heard bits and pieces of it from his own Half-Immortal master. He had also once raised the pot and poured wine for him when his master and that guy were having a drinking contest!
Saying that he was an old friend was probably exaggerating. At that time, he didn't have the qualifications to be friends with him. Of course, he still didn't have the qualifications now!
He originally thought that everything was in the past, but with the collapse of the Great Dao, many things had to be brought up again. Before his master and the other Half-Immortals left Heaven's Choice, they had specially warned him. At this time, he had already become the Yang God of Heaven's Choice. After his master and the others left, he became the person in charge of Heaven's Choice. Therefore, there were some things that needed to be clearly explained to him.
There were many things that he had to say, and one of them was the origin of these Swordsman! There seemed to be a few of them, but they never came in groups. They always came alone. However, no matter which one of them came, they would cause a big or small disturbance in Heaven's Choice.
Although these people hadn't come for several thousand years, and the ones who came now were Supremes who were blocked outside of Heaven's Choice, as a target of vigilance, he never forgot his master's instructions. Fortunately, after several hundred years, it could be considered safe and sound. Most of these lunatics probably died from the exhaustion of time, right?
Of course, it was also possible that they were trapped in an unspeakable place, unable to come out and do evil again!
When he saw this little guy, he had a certain intuition! Zhou Xian was very close to Heaven's Choice in the Upper Realm, so how could he not know the actual situation in Zhou Xian? This kind of person couldn't have been raised by Zhou Xian!
He also had spies in Zhou Xian. Although he couldn't be completely sure, he was very clear about one thing, and that was that this little guy's origin was very unusual!
He had his own opinions on how to deal with this matter, and it was different from the older generation of Heaven's Choice Half-Immortals. However, he was very clear about one thing, and that was that the stupidest way was to kill him!
Other than being affected by great karma, he wouldn't be able to get anything!
He couldn't kill him, and turning a blind eye would be too passive. Therefore, the best way was of course to invest!
This was what a big shot should do! It had nothing to do with being open-minded, only talking about gains and losses!
