Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 103:
Chen Muxue maintained an extremely calm demeanor, gently stroking the box as she spoke unhurriedly, "No problem, no problem, since everyone wants it, then let the highest bidder have it!"
Ha, she certainly wouldn’t admit that she didn’t know the market price of this item.
Wang Yue glanced back at the Fei Xing Sect’s stall, since the Heavenly Heart Begonia was given to Chen Muxue, the Fei Xing Sect could only sell some common elixirs of lower grade, attracting hardly any customers.
Seeing how Chen Muxue’s stall was bustling, Wang Yue felt extremely unwilling. She stomped her foot and said, "How could she possibly refine the Heavenly Heart Jade Clear Pill?! When did anyone ever see an elixir that looks like this? I think this person is simply someone she hired to make a pretense, don’t be fooled by her!"
The commotion on Chen Muxue’s side had long attracted a lot of attention. Huo Lian had been watching because he was worried from afar whether Chen Muxue’s stall was being smashed.
Now hearing Wang Yue shouting like this, he hurried over, as Wang Yue’s words had already made everyone stop bidding.
Because what Wang Yue said made sense. No one had ever seen an elixir like this, and visually, this thing did not seem to have anything extraordinary, even the Heavenly Heart Begonia seemed to have lost its spiritual energy. Any regular elixir would desperately want to show off its dazzling brilliance!
At this moment, the crowd began to look at He Yanquan with a mix of oddness and suspicion.
Though constantly troubled by his heart demon, He Yanquan was not stupid. Seeing everyone fall silent, he took advantage, speaking very quietly, like a whisper, as if afraid of being overheard:
"Young lady, I was wrong earlier, you can see from how I look that I’m not in a good place, so maybe my temper hasn’t been great. Now everyone is doubting you, why not just sell it to me? I’ll offer a thousand taels, how about that?"
Before Chen Muxue could speak, Cen Lizhui pulled him aside, "Uncle, your offer isn’t very sincere. You’ve already tried it and still offer such a price, it seems you’re indeed deeply troubled by your heart demon."
Chen Muxue was initially a bit tempted, but upon hearing Cen Lizhui’s words, she immediately put on airs, "In business, the key is honesty."
He Yanquan showed a pained expression, thinking he could snag a bargain, only to find this young man surprisingly knowledgeable despite his age.
In fact, if he resorted to outright robbery, with his cultivation, he had a good chance of seizing it, didn’t he? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He Yanquan suddenly struck his own head heavily a few times.
Why were his thoughts becoming increasingly vile lately? The heart demon could amplify his malice, but if he had none of these notions deep down, they wouldn’t be magnified!
Damn, damn it all!
The sudden outburst of negative aura from He Yanquan startled everyone, causing them to quickly back away. The previously crowded area instantly formed a circle centered around him.
Just arriving, Huo Lian sensed the aura and his expression turned worse. He approached, speaking kindly, "Brother, even though seeing food at the Spirit Medicine Exhibition might indeed be unsettling, there’s no need to take it this far..."
He Yanquan suddenly struck with a palm, the strong and fierce palm wind carried a hint of malevolence, catching everyone off guard!
Huo Lian’s hand shook, a golden fan unfolded, he rapidly spun the fan, drawing a defensive formation in front of him. With a "boom," the formation shattered, sending him staggering backward a few steps, but he still managed to withstand most of it.
Wang Yue’s eyes finally lit up: It started! Good fight!
