The Traveling Merchant Sprite glanced at the redwood lacquer box, not revealing any particular expression.
Golden Yuanbao: "Is it that simple?"
Simple?
Mingxi smiled.
"Yes, it's that simple."
Fair trade with the Traveling Merchant Sprite is actually very simple.
You can buy items from it, sell unwanted items to it, or ask it to help you accomplish something.
As long as it accepts the trade, there's no need to worry that it won't be able to complete it.
The Traveling Merchant Sprite nodded: "Youyou."
Golden Yuanbao: "The condition for accepting the trade is an SS-level item, or heavenly materials and earthly treasures of equivalent value."
Mingxi: "..."
SS-level items, materials of equivalent value.
That's really a rip-off.
This is still fair trade; if it were unfair, wouldn't it be SSS-level?
She currently only had one SS item, which was the Spirit Refining Necklace, but she couldn't possibly trade the Spirit Refining Necklace, could she?
She had quite a few good things on her, after all, she was a woman who had just stocked up in the Chess Palace Secret Realm.
However, she really couldn't bear to take out those truly precious good things.
After much deliberation, she pulled out a 500ml bottle of wine immortal honey from the Time Realm.
"Is this okay?"
The Traveling Merchant Sprite picked up the honey jar, opened the lid, and used its claw to scoop a thread into its mouth to lick.
Its round eyes brightened slightly.
But soon it pushed the honey jar back.
Then it shook its head and called out several times.
"It's not impossible to trade with this, but not one jar, it needs ten jars."
Golden Yuanbao's voice was a bit gritted when translating, obviously, it was angered by the Traveling Merchant Sprite's outrageous demand.
But it still diligently completed the translation task.
It actually wanted to say: Ten jars? Why don't you just rob someone?
The wine immortal honey was for her grandmother and maternal granduncle's health, even her own Beast Tamers and Little Silver Flower usually couldn't bear to consume it.
This cowardly Traveling Merchant Sprite, on the other hand, demanded ten ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) jars right off the bat!
If they had ten jars, they would have eaten them themselves long ago.
Mingxi was also a bit speechless, "Just one jar, no more."
"You."
The Traveling Merchant Sprite did not compromise, insisting on ten jars.
Mingxi had no choice but to put the honey jar back and place a small piece of ice jade bone on the coffee table.
"What about this?"
The ice jade bone they obtained in the underground ice cave was not small and could be used for construction.
After all, its value was equivalent to that of the Hell Red Lotus, and the difference in value with an SS item should not be significant.
Sure enough, the Traveling Merchant Sprite's eyes clearly flickered.
Although this guy's prices were exorbitant, a Transcendent creature is a Transcendent creature; even if it's a merchant, it's not that shrewd.
"Youyou."
Golden Yuanbao: "Add one more jar of immortal honey."
Mingxi didn't hesitate, "Deal."
The moment the trade contract was reached, the Traveling Merchant Flag in Mingxi's hand disappeared, transforming into a black line that fell upon her and the Traveling Merchant Sprite.
This is called the trade karma line, and only she and the Traveling Merchant Sprite can see this line.
This karma line will only disappear after the trade is officially completed.
If the Traveling Merchant Sprite fails to complete her task within the agreed time, this karma line will backfire on it.
At worst, it's fatal; at best, it returns to the embrace of its great-grandmother.
That's right, there's only one path: death.
So the importance of the Traveling Merchant Flag goes without saying.
With it, there's no need to worry about the Traveling Merchant Sprite not completing the task or exposing her information.
Thanks to Senior Shen Linhua, thanks to the Liusui Elf!
After the fair trade was concluded, Mingxi went in again to visit the Traveling Merchant Sprite's portable shop.
The chest area of the Traveling Merchant Sprite, where its box is located, is its shop space.
As a cunning merchant capable of traveling all over the world, its portable shop space indeed contains many good things.
Of course, it's also truly exorbitant.
So exorbitant that it makes one want to dig out their eyeballs. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
And it doesn't accept bargaining.
The main principle is 'take it or leave it'.
Several materials were needed by Golden Silver Orchid at this stage, and even though the prices were so high it made her want to vomit blood, Mingxi gritted her teeth and traded for them.
She almost cleared out one-third of the items obtained from this Chess Palace Secret Realm.
Fortunately, most of those items were flashy but impractical, things they didn't need and would almost certainly never use in the future.
So, trading them was fine.
It wasn't a total loss.
The only regret was that the Traveling Merchant Sprite did not have melting spirit gold or Soluble Saliva Incense.
She still had to find a way herself.
...
One beautiful morning, as Mingxi was training Golden Silver Orchid in their morning exercises, her right wrist suddenly felt a slight pain.
The black thread tied to her wrist, visible only to her, began to slowly dissipate.
Mingxi's heart filled with joy.
The dissipation of the black line indicated that the trade was officially over.
The Traveling Merchant Sprite had successfully delivered Wei Yangang's spatial item to the Grand Elder.
"Phew!"
She exhaled a breath of turbid air; this big trouble that had weighed on her mind for a long time was finally resolved.
Mingxi was right.
At this moment, in the Yan family of the Emperor Capital, the Grand Elder frowned as he looked at the redwood lacquer box that had inexplicably appeared on his desk.
As a leader of the Dragonflower Country, his home's security standards were of the highest level.
It was no exaggeration to say that even a Saint-level Transcendent creature would find it extremely difficult to enter silently.
But now, an item that didn't belong to him had silently appeared on his desk.
This was no laughing matter!
He frowned deeply but did not immediately call for guards; instead, he summoned his pet, a Saint-level Keli Xiaoxiao, a Ground and Angel System pet.
"Xiaoxiao, Heaven and Earth Net."
Keli Xiaoxiao immediately released its skill, and the desk area was instantly covered by a thick layer of silk net.
"Xiaoxiao, lift that redwood lid and see what's inside?"
"Xiao!" Keli Xiaoxiao immediately complied.
The redwood lacquer box was opened, revealing the ring-shaped item placed inside.
Through Keli Xiaoxiao's vision, the Grand Elder naturally saw the item in the box.
"Spatial item?"
The Grand Elder was even more confused.
Keli Xiaoxiao used its silk threads to hook up the spatial item.
As an Angel System creature with control over spatial abilities, Keli Xiaoxiao's spatial power allowed it to easily bypass item restrictions, and it quickly thoroughly investigated the contents of the spatial item.
"Xiaoxiao." It shook its head at the Grand Elder, indicating no danger.
Only then did the Grand Elder relax, taking the spatial item from Keli Xiaoxiao's hand.
The spatial item's original owner's contract imprint had been erased, so the Grand Elder could effortlessly view its contents.
Clothes?
Tables and chairs?
Pots and pans?
What was all this?
Was someone playing a prank on him?
But who would be so bored?
However, he quickly noticed the documents; he took them out, and upon reading the first page, he immediately realized the gravity of the situation! freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"This is... what?!"
"Who on earth sent this thing?!"
"Come in!"
While the crucial area of the Emperor Capital was experiencing an Earthquake due to Mingxi's brilliant move, she, on her side, began to formally climb the New Talent Rankings with Golden Silver Orchid.
She still needed to diligently accumulate points.
