Free Web NovelEast Pearl Tower was now a little quiet; those who were interested in the tongwei relic bone earlier, after some thought, mostly sighed.
Lingxi Gate had a considerable reputation in the Jianghu, and its Sect Leader was a powerful individual on the Earth Ranking, and not low in rank.
The reason Qiao Ziyu stood out from the Sect Leader's many descendants to become the heir was his special Physique.
Possessing the Shengwei Law Body, and then acquiring this relic bone, he might be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Tongwei Physique, and restore its former glory, so he was naturally determined to obtain it.
It might not even be useful for others to obtain it, so why incur the great enmity of Lingxi Gate?
Seeing that no one spoke, Qiao Ziyu cupped his hands again: "Then I thank everyone for their consideration."
"Young Sect Master, this is a bit out of line, isn't it?"
Qian Bufan's expression was somewhat ugly.
"This item is truly too important to me; in my haste, I ask for Elder's forgiveness."
Qiao Ziyu grinned, his tone quite polite:
"Please rest assured, I am a man of principle, and everything will be done according to East Pearl Tower's rules."
"Then Young Sect Master, please proceed."
Qian Bufan's face was ashen, and he flicked his sleeves and left.
"No need to see me off, thank you Qingyuan Sect for the treasure, hahahaha..."
Qiao Ziyu walked to the counter with a laugh.
If this item were at East Pearl Tower's auction, who knows how much wealth it would cost.
Of course, it wasn't cheap now, even a bit high, requiring two hundred xuan crystal, which would be an astronomical figure when converted to gold.
But he could haggle!
With three thousand people, after haggling, Li Mo might even have to pay him out of his own pocket.
"Let me try my luck first."
"Alright, here is your throwing knife."
Qiao Ziyu was the first to take the throwing knife from Lan Tian's hand; he narrowed his eyes, but found that the shifting light and shadow had no pattern.
Indeed, East Pearl Tower had an extraordinary foundation and would certainly prevent others from cheating.
Since that was the case, he could only rely on luck, but... he had a way to temporarily improve his luck!
Swish—
The throwing knife turned into a wisp of black line, seemingly destined to hit its target in the dark; Qiao Ziyu had used Yansheng Art on himself.
He used it on himself, and the backlash was considerable, with the price being that he would experience bad luck for a period in the future.
Clap—
"Hit, hit!"
"Hit what?"
"Hmm? It's not a discount after all, it looks like... a pearl? What does a pearl mean?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Qiao Ziyu frowned and looked at Lan Tian.
Lan Tian thought about Brother Li's instructions and couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly:
"Your luck is actually this good?"
"Oh? Is there something special about this pearl?"
Qiao Ziyu felt a sense of relief; this seemed to be something better than a discount?
Indeed, he had not hesitated to use Yansheng Art on himself, so naturally... "This is not a pearl, but a Dragon Pearl; as long as you collect nine Dragon Pearls... you can get the item for free, and also receive a cash reward equal to half the item's value!"
"Hahahaha, so that's it, good, good, good!"
Qiao Ziyu laughed loudly.
He got a Dragon Pearl first thing, wasn't this grand prize easy to get?
The subsequent process was very smooth; the Lingxi Gate members lined up and stepped forward.
"Young Sect Master, I drew a Dragon Pearl!"
"Young Sect Master, I also drew a Dragon Pearl!"
...Seven people went up, and surprisingly,
"Young Sect Master, I also... Eh, this Dragon Pearl seems a bit different?"
As that Gate member spoke, Qiao Ziyu followed his gaze.
He saw that it was not a golden Dragon Pearl, but a silver one.
"What is this, what does it mean?" Qiao Ziyu asked with a frown.
Lan Tian blinked: "This is a Flood Dragon Pearl; as long as you collect nine Flood Dragon Pearls, you can exchange them for one Dragon Pearl. Wow, your luck is really good, it's my first time seeing a customer who already has eight Dragon Pearls."
Of course, the rules were set today, and she started her shift today, so it was naturally her first day seeing it.
"Alright, then I'll continue to haggle."
Qiao Ziyu's expression was calm and unconcerned, after all, many people were helping him haggle... "This girl Lan Tian has no acting traces at all, she's actually a sweet-faced villain."
Li Mo removed his faceless glazed gauze and stood on the second floor, watching.
"This girl mainly has good discernment; she's quite suitable for working here."
Elder Qian also nodded, then shook his head again:
"Speaking of being villainous, you, young man, are truly villainous. Selling a leftover pig's trotters bone of mine for two hundred xuan crystal, even if it doesn't break bones, it's still quite a bleed..."
"From your tone, Lingxi Gate is quite rich?"
"Can't compare to you, but after all, it's a Sect qualified to Zhen Prefecture; they certainly have over a thousand xuan crystal."
"So that's how it is."
Li Mo controlled the mirage divine pearl while looking down.
Elder Qian saw him like this and knew that he was once again using his Genius mind. This child, Li, although usually carefree, still had deep feelings for the Sect...
While the two were talking,
Below, Qiao Ziyu had already haggled from Dragon Pearls to clam pearls, and then from clam pearls to fish pearls, and shrimp pearls. His calm and indifferent expression was gone, and he was clearly haggling with bloodshot eyes.
Qiao Ziyu's patience ran out, and he originally wanted to lose his temper.
"Hmm?"
Several shareholders sitting not far away stood up with unfriendly expressions.
Qiao Ziyu could only give up on reasoning physically:
"Why are there still more? Is there no end to this?"
"It's just that your friends' luck is getting worse and worse. Just now, someone directly collected nine Dragon Pearls, so we can't be blamed for this."
"Then I ask you, then I ask you, where do shrimp get pearls? You should at least talk some basic sense!"
"Sorry, the final interpretation rights for this event belong to our store."
Lan Tian's sweet and innocent tone left Qiao Ziyu feeling stifled in his chest.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, others really did collect nine Dragon Pearls.
To accuse someone of cheating, one needed evidence.
Three thousand people, it sounded like a lot.
But as the sky grew dark, in the end, only one was left. Qiao Ziyu wasn't unable to produce two hundred xuan crystal, but at this moment, his breathing was hurried like a gambler's.
"Young Sect Master... what I haggled out is..."
"What's yours, what's mine, it's all mine!"
"Oh, oh, you got a pearl, Young Sect Master."
Qiao Ziyu: "?"
The surrounding people also began to discuss animatedly, sighing with wonder. Could this Qiao Ziyu have done something heinous, to have such bad luck?
Lan Tian yawned: "Hello, the price after haggling is still two hundred xuan crystal."
"..."
Qiao Ziyu, being discussed by everyone, clenched his fists: "Considering I've haggled for so long, can't it be a bit cheaper?"
"Little brother, you don't have money, do you?"
"Alright, alright, alright, take! Just! Take!"
Qiao Ziyu gritted his teeth, and finally took out two hundred xuan crystal to purchase it.
Taking the jade box, he left with his people, flicking his sleeves, a strong sense of unwillingness rising in his heart.
As everyone knows, once a person is in a bad mood, they really want to eat a lot.
So the first thing he did upon returning to the inn was to have the waiter bring up a pile of food, such as roasted meat and pig trotters.
"Too much bullying, it's infuriating!"
Qiao Ziyu took a fierce bite of a pig's trotter.
"Young Sect Master, calm your anger, we just had a less-than-smooth process."
"Although it cost money, as long as you obtain that mysterious tongwei relic bone, your future prospects are limitless, and how can it be measured by a mere two hundred xuan crystal?"
The old man comforted him, throwing the gnawed pig's trotter out to feed the dog.
