I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1511 - 1510: Pulling a Fast One (Seventh Update)
"I am Ye Wuming, one of the administrators of this place, responsible for some of Treasure Pavilion’s business! May I know the esteemed surname and name of the senior?" Ye Wuming said with hands clasped in courtesy.
"Xu Tianxing!" Zhang Xiaohao responded.
"Senior Xu, this is premium Spiritual Tea; drinking a cup can replace a month’s worth of painstaking cultivation. Please, do try it." Ye Wuming said with a smile.
"Alright—!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
Possessing the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture, unaffected by any toxin in the world, Zhang Xiaohao wouldn’t mind even if there was poison. Let alone if it is harmless, even if it contains poison, he wouldn’t be concerned.
He immediately took up the teacup and drank the tea in a single gulp.
Instantly, a rich lingering fragrance spread throughout his mouth.
The Spiritual Power within his body increased slightly with this cup of tea, although it was minimal, it equated to a month’s worth of cultivation.
"Good tea!" Zhang Xiaohao commented.
"Senior’s courage is admirable! I, Ye, am impressed." Ye Wuming said sincerely.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao smiled faintly, naturally understanding the implication of his words.
"Senior, there are no outsiders here. If you have something, feel free to bring it out. If it’s genuinely good, our Treasure Pavilion will definitely not disappoint you!" Ye Wuming said.
Zhang Xiaohao flipped his palm, retrieving two intermediate Spirit Talismans—Fire Sea Talismans—from the storage pouch on his waist, and placed them on the table leisurely.
These two intermediate Spirit Talismans were given to him by Snow Spirit Palace Master as life-saving treasures, but in reality, they were a great con, deceiving with appearance and having no power whatsoever! They might be useful for intimidating people in everyday situations, but in real battles, they were nothing more than waste paper.
When he was swindled before, Zhang Xiaohao wanted to throw them away immediately, but upon reconsideration, he thought keeping them was better than discarding them, at least they could be sold for a fortune.
"Ah! These are intermediate Spirit Talismans—Fire Sea Talismans? Judging by their appearance, they are the most perfect intermediate Spirit Talismans! If I am not mistaken, one of these Spirit Talismans’ power can at least counter a full-force strike of a Perfect Golden Core Realm cultivator!" Ye Wuming exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao simply smiled, indicating that the teacup was now empty.
"Do you lack some insight? Didn’t you notice that Senior’s teacup is empty?! Hurry and serve more! No, bring all my treasured tea leaves, I must give them to the senior." Ye Wuming commanded.
As soon as he finished speaking, two young and attractive maidservants came over, one holding a teapot, and the other holding a purple jade box.
Ye Wuming took the teapot and enthusiastically poured a cup for Zhang Xiaohao.
"Senior, this is a token of a junior’s regard; please, no matter what, accept it!" Ye Wuming said earnestly.
If he had a trace of doubt about Zhang Xiaohao’s identity before, now he had no doubts regarding it anymore. Besides, with his Perfect Foundation Establishment cultivation, he couldn’t discern Zhang Xiaohao’s cultivation. All these aspects silently suggested that Zhang Xiaohao was at least a Golden Core Realm old monster or even at the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Hmm, since that’s the case, I won’t stand on ceremony." Zhang Xiaohao nodded contentedly, casually putting the purple jade box on the table into his possession.
Picking up the teacup, he ignored Ye Wuming and started drinking heartily.
Meanwhile, Ye Wuming, like receiving a treasure, picked up the two intermediate Spirit Talismans in hand, altering his hand gestures and inspecting them with various Secret Techniques to confirm their authenticity.
"Hmph! Even I couldn’t identify the authenticity of these two intermediate talismans. Do you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, hope to uncover the hidden deceit in them?" Zhang Xiaohao thought disdainfully.
After a while, Ye Wuming put down the two intermediate Spirit Talismans, his expression calm.
"Senior, how do you plan to handle these two intermediate Spirit Talismans?" Ye Wuming asked.
"What do you plan to offer?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"How about this then! One hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones! What does the senior think?" Ye Wuming suggested cautiously.
"Farewell—!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
While saying this, he collected the two intermediate Spirit Talismans, got up from his chair, and prepared to leave.
"Senior, please wait a moment. The junior hasn’t finished speaking!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao about to leave, Ye Wuming hurriedly spoke.
"Don’t try to fool me with worldly eyes! To reach where I stand, none are fools! Moreover, you should know the power of these two intermediate Spirit Talismans; you should understand how much effort I expended in creating them." Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.
"One thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones!" Ye Wuming took a deep breath and said.
"Not selling—!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"Two thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones!" Ye Wuming gritted his teeth fiercely and said.
Two thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones equate to two hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. At this price, even if their Treasure Pavilion sold them, it wouldn’t make much profit.
"Only this once, no exceptions next time!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
Sitting back in his chair, he calmly poured himself a cup of Spiritual Tea.
"If I remember correctly, down there you mentioned earlier that no matter what transaction I make, you’re willing to subsidize me thirty percent, right?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"Yes! Our establishment values reputation greatly, and definitely wouldn’t dare to deceive." Ye Wuming chuckled bitterly.
Adding thirty percent more makes it nearly two thousand seven hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones. Now they’re truly losing money.
"I want to exchange these Spirit Stones for materials, inclusive of thirty percent bonus, right?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"Yes!" Ye Wuming chuckled bitterly again.
Zhang Xiaohao patted the storage pouch at his waist with one hand, took out a materials list, and handed it over.
Ye Wuming’s eyelid twitched, sensing something ominous, and took the materials list from Zhang Xiaohao.
Thud!
Ye Wuming directly fell to the ground.
"Se-Senior, do you really intend to exchange two thousand seven hundred Spirit Stones for the materials on this list?" Ye Wuming asked, trembling. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"What? Can’t your Treasure Pavilion manage?" Zhang Xiaohao sneered coldly.
"Senior is joking. There’s nothing our Treasure Pavilion can’t do! It’s just that these materials are too precious; if adding thirty percent as well, a junior losing administrative status is minor, perhaps even implicating you!" Ye Wuming said.
"What? Are you threatening me?" Zhang Xiaohao coldly said.
"Senior is jesting again. How dare I threaten you? Senior, what about this: I’ll gather three thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones and let’s forget about the thirty percent bonus materials, okay?" Ye Wuming said awkwardly.
In his heart, he resented the maidservant responsible earlier, not minding if she was still alive to personally take her out.
"Five thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones!" Zhang Xiaohao said decisively.
