Chapter 1155 – Bargaining
Dwarf Lie Devil stared at the Yin Shen Bead and the Golden Jiao Order for a while, but he was pondering.
The organization and the secret city have always maintained a cooperative relationship, and know well some of the unwritten rules in the secret city.
Although the conditions of the Seven Quarters Grass and the Tongyi Jade were harsh on the surface, how they were traded was actually up to the Secret Market.
As long as the person in charge of the secret market nods, with the value of the Yin Shen beads and the Golden Jiao order, it is completely able to exchange for the Seven Quarters Grass or the Tong Yu Jade.
Moreover, every once in a while, the Secret Market would take the initiative to take out some top level magic materials and trade them for new treasures, thus attracting more people to come to the Secret Market.
Calculating the time, the time that the Seven Quarters Grass appeared in the Secret Market had already been two or three years.
If it couldn’t be exchanged for the Heaven Sealing Wood, after a while, the Secret Market would also take the initiative and replace the Seven Quarters Grass with other precious things.
Thinking of this, Dwarf Flame Demon decided to find the person in charge of the Secret Market to talk about the deal.
If this single can be successful, he will get 10% of the commission, with the value of the seven curved grass, even if only 10%, converted into magic crystals, will be more than 100,000 yuan!
The Dwarf Flaming Demon’s heart was moved, and he immediately took out his summoning order and started summoning.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he received a reply.
The initiator of this Secret Market was indeed interested in the Yin Sinking Pearl and the Golden Jiao Order, and had agreed on a time to negotiate with him.
The Dwarf Flame Demon put down his summoning order and informed Xu Chuniang of the good news.
“Fellow Daoist, hurry up and close your stall, I’ve inquired about the owner of the Seven Quarters Grass and secured a deal for you.”
Xu Chuniang was a bit surprised, “I asked the stall owner just now, and he insisted on exchanging the Seven Quarters Grass for the Heaven-Sealing Wood, without the Heaven-Sealing Wood, would he be willing to trade?”
The Dwarf Flaming Demon spoke out a set of words that he had long thought of, “In fact, that stall owner, who is not the true owner of the Seven Quarters Grass, is only trading on his behalf.
Just now, I have already asked the real owner of the Seven Quarters Grass for you, he is very interested in the Yin Sinking Bead and the Golden Jiao Order, and is willing to talk to you.”
“I see.”
Xu Chuniang put away the stall she had just expended and followed behind the Short Flaming Demon, passing through the secret market’s trading street and arriving in front of a stone house.
“The owner of that Seven Quarters Grass is waiting for you inside, and I, as a middleman, will witness the transaction as a third party.”
The Dwarf Lie Devil made a motion of invitation, signaling Xu Chuniang to go first, while he himself followed behind her and entered the stone house.
Xu Chuniang stepped into the stone house, and at a glance, she saw a cultivator seated within it.
He wore the same type of cloak on his head, covering his face and the upper half of his body, and could only be recognized from his figure as a male cultivator.
It was also impossible to tell exactly what race he was.
“Please sit down.”
Through the cloak, the male cultivator’s gaze lingered briefly on Xu Chuniang, then moved away without leaving a trace.
“I’ve heard that Your Excellency is interested in the Seven Quarters Grass?”
“Not bad, it’s a pity that I don’t have the Heaven Sealing Wood in my hands.”
“I do want to see what the legendary Heaven Sealing Wood looks like, unfortunately, this Seven Quarters Grass has been placed in the Secret Market for two or three years but has never been able to be traded out, so I guess it’s because I don’t have a chance with this Heaven Sealing Wood.”
The male cultivator let out a light laugh, “I heard that you have the Yin Sinking Bead and the Golden Jiao Order in your hands, and it just so happens that these two are also things I’m interested in, so I thought of having a talk with fellow Daoist.”
Hearing the looseness in the other party’s words, Xu Chuniang then unhurriedly said. “I do have these two things in my hand, and I also intend to exchange them for the Soul Nurturing Sacred Item, but the value of the Seven Quarters Grass is not far from the Yin Sinking Bead, and the Golden Jiao Order is even more of a military item that is seldom circulated on the market, so how do you want to exchange it?”
“The Yin Sinking Pearl is indeed precious, but the Seven Quarters Grass is even rarer as a soul nourishing item.
How about, let’s exchange the Seven Quarters Grass for the Yin Sinking Pearl and the Golden Jiao Order, and I’ll make up for it by giving you 600,000 magic crystals, how about that?”
The corner of Xu Chuniang’s mouth hidden under her cloak hooked up into a cold smile, with one Seven Curved Grass and six hundred thousand magic crystals, wanting to exchange for two of her treasures, this calculator was really smart.
This is to eat her, must want the seven curved grass can not?
“Exchanging the Seven Quarters Grass for the Yin Sinking Bead and the Golden Jiao Order, that’s fine, but I’m not short of magic crystals, I’ll have to take something else to offset it.”
The male cultivator also knew that the other party would not be able to agree to the request he made in one go, and the reason he said this was just to fight for more benefits.
“What do you want?”
There were quite a few treasures in the secret market, slightly less valuable than the Golden Jiao Order, and there were a total of twenty to thirty that could be brought out for trade.
He simply made a list and wrote them down, placing them on the stone table between the two.
“These things, but whatever you see, you can trade for.”
Xu Chuniang scanned the list, and with a glance, she saw the Nine-Colored Lotus at the top, her eyes moving slightly.
“That crippled Nine-Colored Lotus in the Secret Market, it’s also yours?”
“Not bad, that Nine-Colored Lotus is crippled with two petals and has lost a lot of its utility, otherwise its value would not be below that of the Seven Quarters Grass.”
“Good, then I want this Seven Quarters Grass and Nine-Colored Lotus.”
Apart from the Nine-Colored Lotus, the other items on the list were equally valuable, but not something she desperately needed.
The male cultivator seemed to have anticipated her choice and agreed in one breath.
“Yes, Seven Quercus Grass for the Yin Sinking Bead, and the Golden Jiao Order for the Nine-Colored Lotus, but you have to let me arbitrarily pick five of the items on your goods list as add-ons.”
Xu Chuniang frowned without leaving a trace, anything that could be written by her on the goods list had no mortal goods, and the worst was Heavenly Demon grade.
If she really let the other party pick any five items, the combined value would be over a million magic crystals.
“The Seven Quarters Grass and the Yin Sinking Pearl are of equal value, and the value of the Golden Jiao Order is even more than the crippled Nine-Colored Lotus, Your Excellency’s appetite is too big, isn’t it?”
The male cultivator’s tone was subdued, “This transaction, it’s a matter of you and me, those Heavenly Demon-level treasures are precious, but as long as one spends a little more magic crystals and thought, they can always be bought.
But the Seven Quarters Grass and Nine Colored Lotus are different, they are rare soul nourishing holy relics, in my heart, they are worth this price, what do you think?”
Xu Chuniang laughed coldly in her heart, it seemed that the other party had really eaten her up and was in dire need of the Soul Nourishing Sacred Objects, which was why they were lionizing her.
“The things on that goods list, at most, I’ll give you two of them, and it’s up to me to decide what to give you.”
It wasn’t true that she wanted the Seven Quarters Grass and the Nine-Colored Lotus, but she wasn’t a fool.
The male cultivator’s tone lightened, “It’s meaningless for you to say that, I’m sincere in making a deal with you, I even took out the Seven Quarters Grass that I originally wanted to exchange for the Heaven Sealing Wood, it’s not too much to ask for just a few more additions, is it?”
Xu Chuniang didn’t say anything, the add-ons he wanted, each of them was worth no less than 200,000 to 300,000 magic crystals, were they ordinary add-ons?
Both of them were silent, the scene instantly chilled down.
Seeing this, the Short Flaming Demon, who was the middleman, opened his mouth at the right time and said, “How about this, both sides take a step back, how about it?” (End of chapter)
