He had seen many people haggling, but he had never seen anyone haggle like this.
Five thousand taels of silver instantly turned into five taels of silver. Anyone's face would darken.
Usually, the stall owner would at most cut the price by half. He would return a bit of the price and then dawdle for a while before closing the deal. That was the best thing that could happen.
This noble young master in front of him had set the price at five taels of silver and wanted to buy all his goods. He simply did not have the slightest bit of sincerity in buying things.
"You can leave. I have never seen anyone buy things like you." The stall owner was not even in the mood to haggle. He thought that the other party was a fat sheep that could be slaughtered however he wanted.
"The things you have here are all super inferior goods. There is not a single precious item. You can buy them from other places for less than one tael of silver. I am giving you five taels of silver because I think highly of you. If you don't want to sell, then don't sell." Yang Wu said indifferently and walked towards another stall.
Little Hei transmitted her voice to Yang Wu: "Little Wu Zi, that thing is worth five thousand Xuan Spirit Stones. You actually only offered five taels of silver. Do you not want it anymore?"
"Little Hei, you don't understand." Yang Wu replied and did not continue to argue with Little Hei. He went to the stall diagonally opposite to look at another item.
It was a cobblestone that was only the size of a fist. There were veined patterns on the wall and stone spots. It looked like a strange stone, but in reality, it was not much different from a normal cobblestone. It could be seen everywhere in some sandy rivers.
But it was this cobblestone that attracted Yang Wu's attention. He wanted to obtain it.
This time, Yang Wu did not wait for the stall owner to state the price and directly said, "Your goods are slightly better than the one over there. I will give you a hundred taels of silver to pack everything. If you are not selling, I will go to another stall."
"No, no, Young Master is someone who knows his goods. I will sell it for a hundred taels of silver." The stall owner hurriedly said.
The goods he had here were all worth less than two taels of silver. If he could sell them for a hundred taels of silver, it would be a huge profit.
Without another word, Yang Wu gave the money to the other party and had people pack up everything here.
The stall owner was anxious. He hurriedly called out to Yang Wu, "Young Master, if you really want to add a little more to my things, five taels of silver is really too little. It's not enough to pay for my hard work."
"Ten taels of silver, if you don't sell, I'm leaving." Yang Wu said without hesitation.
The stall owner hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, alright. Young Master is lucky. I'll rush home early today. I'll give them all to you for ten taels of silver."
Yang Wu smiled and took out ten taels of silver and threw it to the stall owner. He then waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to pack up the pile of items.
At this time, the other stall owners couldn't sit still. They hadn't opened for business for many days. If they could sell their goods, it would be a profit. They all offered low prices to Yang Wu to buy their goods. However, Yang Wu was stingy and didn't want to buy their goods at all.
At this time, Little Hei finally understood Yang Wu's intentions. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and call out, "Woof woof, you're really cunning."
"All businessmen are cunning. They've earned quite a bit of money in this alley. It's nothing for me to take advantage of them a little." Yang Wu replied proudly.
After Yang Wu left the alley, he wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went to the herb trading area to see if there were any good things to be had.
The herb trading area was located in an open space in the east of the city. Many cultivators with vicious auras were walking around here. They often went deep into the mountains and forests to search for herbs, hunt wild beasts and spirit demons, and bring the herbs they obtained here to trade.
Many of the Medicine King Pavilion's alchemists also came here from time to time to search for herbs and see if there were any good things to be had.
There were many herbs here, but they were all ordinary herbs. There were also some old herbs, but they weren't cheap. As for Spirit Herbs, they were pitifully few.
True Spirit Herbs would be kept by martial artists and wouldn't be easily taken out to show to others. If it was a Medicine King, it would be even worse. They would only be taken to the auction house and wouldn't be traded here.
When Yang Wu arrived, he found that the people of the Medicine King Pavilion were walking around. He recognized one of them. It was Wu Nan, who had a conflict with him in the Medicine King Pavilion's storehouse.
Today, Wu Nan wasn't the main character. The people around him didn't revolve around him. Instead, they revolved around another man. It could be seen that this man's status in the Medicine King Pavilion was much higher than Wu Nan's.
Wu Nan sensed something strange and turned around to see Yang Wu smiling at him. He shuddered and shrank back as he exclaimed, "Yang Wu!"
Yang Wu waved at Wu Nan and smiled, "Hey, hey, hey, we meet again. Our fate isn't shallow."
This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.
Back then, he had taught Wu Nan a lesson in front of the Medicine King Pavilion's storehouse, leaving a shadow in Wu Nan's heart. Now that he was walking towards Wu Nan, Wu Nan was scared to death.
"Third … Third Senior Brother, Yang Wu is here. Yang Wu is here." Wu Nan nervously said to the man beside him.
The man beside Wu Nan was Zhang Huojie. He was an alchemist even stronger than Wu Nan. Several years ago, he had successfully refined a Spirit Pill. Even if it was only the lowest grade of Spirit Pill, it was still a supreme honor. Now that several years had passed, he had already become a High Level Alchemist. In the future, he was an outstanding youth who had the potential to become a Medicine King.
Zhang Huojie turned around to look at Yang Wu. His eyes narrowed as he said, "He is Yang Wu?"
Without waiting for Wu Nan to answer, Yang Wu had already opened his mouth and said, "That's right, I am Yang Wu."
"I didn't think that you would be such a hothead. My Senior Brother challenged you to a Pill Refining Challenge but you refused and insisted on challenging my Master. You clearly want to show off. Since we've met today, you might as well not avoid it and let me trample you under my feet." Zhang Huojie didn't know how strong Yang Wu was. He was only confident in his Pill Refining Skills. Yang Wu claimed to be a Medicine King, but he didn't believe it. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to compete with Yang Wu.
"Who are you?" Yang Wu asked.
Zhang Huojie wasn't angry. He revealed a proud expression and said, "I am Zhang Huojie, one of the top ten disciples of the Medicine King's Pavilion Head. I am ranked third."
"Oh, so it's Little Cockroach. It's an honor to meet you." Yang Wu deliberately provoked him.
"Bastard, you dare to insult Third Senior Brother. You're courting death."
"How dare you be so rude. Teach him a lesson."
Some of Zhang Huojie's followers revealed looks of anger. At the same time, some of them wanted to attack Yang Wu. However, just as they moved, someone acted before them and sent them flying one by one.
Ahhh!
They didn't know what was going on. They only felt their faces burning as their bodies swayed left and right like sandbags.
"Amitabha. Everyone, don't get angry so easily. Those who dare to be disrespectful to my captain, I will send them to the Western Paradise." Du Guang Buddha said with his palms together.
Du Guang Buddha was a true King. None of the people around Zhang Huojie were Kings. How could anyone be his match? If he didn't control his strength well, these people would have already been beaten to death.
Zhang Huojie and Wu Nan were scared silly. Especially when Zhang Huojie just remembered that Yang Wu came back from the border and brought a group of Death Legion soldiers back to the King City. Fighting with the other party here was clearly a very unwise thing to do.
"Yang Wu, if you have the ability, let's compete in alchemy. What kind of man are you to bully others with your power?" Zhang Huojie loudly reprimanded Yang Wu.
Yang Wu smiled and said, "Sure, how do you want to compete?"
"Let's compete in Alchemy right here, who can refine better …" Zhang Huo Jie replied, but before he could finish, Yang Wu impatiently interrupted him and said, "You're not worthy of competing with me in Alchemy, let's compete in identifying herbs."
"You're looking down on me. I'm a high level alchemist!" Zhang Huojie clenched his fists and angrily shouted.
Yang Wu gently nodded and said, "That's right, I'm looking down on you."
This time, Zhang Huojie felt like his heart had been stabbed by a knife. Yang Wu really didn't know how to speak.
"Fine, we'll identify medicine then. Who's afraid of who?" Zhang Huojie clenched his teeth and said. After pausing for a moment, he added, "There's no meaning in competing like this. Let's add a little wager and bet a hundred low grade Xuan Spirit Stones."
"Uh ….. The wager is so big." Yang Wu hesitated and said.
"Humph, a dignified Lieutenant General can't even take out a hundred low grade Xuan Spirit Stones, right?" Zhang Huojie coldly snorted.
His voice was not soft, and the surrounding stall owners heard it clearly. In fact, these stall owners had been paying attention to the situation here for a long time. They were all curious as to who had the guts to challenge a disciple of the Medicine King Pavilion. They must be tired of living.
"That's right. I'll add another fifty Xuan Spirit Stones. Do you dare to accept?" Wu Nan provoked from the side.
Identifying medicine was basic knowledge for alchemists. If one didn't even know how to identify medicine, how could one be a good alchemist?
The two of them worked with herbs all year round and often came in and out of this place. They recognized most of the herbs here and had the home advantage. They didn't fear Yang Wu at all.
Yang Wu rubbed his chin and said, "Very courageous. How about this, whoever wins today will not only lose the Xuan Spirit Stone to the other party, they will also have to pay for the herbs we picked here. What do you think?"
Zhang Huojie didn't think that Yang Wu's words would dig a deep hole for him. He didn't even think about it before replying, "Okay, no problem at all."
Zhang Huojie could be said to be full of confidence. He had been in contact with herbs since he was ten years old and had been around for almost twenty years now. His ability to identify medicine naturally didn't need to be questioned.
Yang Wu was only a young brat. How many herbs could he recognize?
"Okay, then how are we going to compete?" Yang Wu asked again.
"We'll pick a few experienced people here to be witnesses. We'll distinguish the different medicinal herbs from the various stalls. In fifteen minutes, whoever can distinguish the most accurate medicinal herbs will win," Zhang Huojie said with a spirited expression.
"That's not easy."
"Heh, that's what makes it interesting. You're not thinking of backing down, are you?"
"Whoever backs down is a bastard. Immediately call the witnesses over."
