Free Web NovelChapter 679: Chapter 679 Double the Price
"It seems that she enjoys the life she’s living right now!"
Seeing that, Ye Liuyun was no longer worried about Luo Yurou.
"It’s great that you like it! Yet, you have to work hard to improve your realm. Your current realm is far from allowing you to ’take risks’!"
Ye Liuyun, too, was afraid that she would be too immersed in the process and neglect her cultivation.
She wasn’t pressured in the slightest as a result of the presence of Ye Liuyun and the others. If Ye Liuyun and the others were gone, it would be difficult for her to move even a single step forward with her realm.
"All right!" Luo Yurou readily agreed to it. "Every day, apart from learning new techniques from my master, I spent the rest of my time cultivating."
The two of them engaged in a soft chatter on the side.
A portion of Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense was focused on Captain One-eyed’s bargaining.
It was not that he was worried about Captain One-eyed, but he was looking forward to seeing how Captain One-eyed intended to raise the price.
On one hand, Captain One-eyed was busy chatting with the executives of the Chamber of Commerce.
Yet, none of what he said was true.
About him mentioning that he was a minor leader of the feral beast hunting team and that his team consisted of more than two hundred members? In short, he talked nonsense until he mentioned the Star Devouring Beast before having absorbed the blood of the Star Devouring Beast and handing it to the deacon for inspection.
The deacon, too, was experienced. He had long sensed the Captain One-eyed talking nonsense. Just as he was getting impatient, Captain One-eyed got straight to the point.
When he confirmed that the blood was the Star Devouring Beast’s, he was instantly boiling with excitement.
"How much Honorable Level blood do you have?"
"As many as you want! We’ve absorbed all the blood of an Honorable Level Star Devouring Beast!"
It was only then the Captain One-eyed was telling the truth.
In return, the deacon didn’t believe their words instead. In the eyes of the deacon, all the Captain One-eyed knew was to bluff.
To earn money, he decided not to fall out with Captain One-eyed. As a result, he controlled his temper to probe into the quantity Captain One-eyed was capable of selling.
As he paid lip service to the questions asked, Captain One-eyed started probing into the market of the Star Devouring Beast’s blood, including how long it had been since there was no supply on the market, the price they had purchased and sold, and so on.
At first, both sly foxes mentioned nothing about the truth as they tentatively tried out on each other.
Ye Liuyun was not one to accept the method of beating around the bush.
Slowly, as Captain One-eyed took out a few more buckets of Star Devouring Beast’s blood, both sides took a step forward and told the truth.
It was only then Ye Liuyun learned about the fact that the Star Devouring Beast’s blood was not considered to be rarely found in the Astral Realm.
After all, there were some martial practitioners in the Yin-yang Realm who took the risk of hunting Star Devouring Beasts in the Astral Realm before hopping on the speediest warships to escape. There were, too, who failed to escape from the assimilation of Star Devouring Beasts.
The Star Devouring Beast dared not attack the Courier Station since there was a protective formation set up.
Yet, the blood of the Star Devouring Beast in the Yin-yang realm was relatively rare, requiring honorable martial art artists to take risks. Though so, the honorable martial art artists having cultivated to their level were usually not ones who desperately needed money to the point of risking their lives.
The higher the cultivation realm of a martial art artist, the more one valued one’s life.
As for the Honorable Level Star Devouring Beast’s blood, it was a rare precious item that stayed hidden from the world for years. It was bound to be sold for a staggering figure.
As soon as Ye Liuyun heard that, he knew that the price that they had estimated was too low. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"It looks like I’ve reaped quite a harvest." giggled the secretly delighted Ye Liuyun as he pondered to himself.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Captain One-eyed no longer avoided mentioning the issue.
"I’ve told you, you’re not in the place to decide the quantity we’ll sell, yet you don’t trust me! I’d better show it to you so you can see it with your own eyes!"
As Captain One-eyed spoke, he ordered Ye Liuyun to withdraw a container filled with blood.
Upon witnessing the sight, the deacon could no longer sit still.
"Please give me a minute. I’ll fetch the shopkeeper over and get him to entertain you in person."
Although he had not the slightest idea about the quantity left in Ye Liuyun’s hands, the deacon felt the need for the chief to come over and speak with Captain One-eyed judging from the quantity he could retrieve.
Soon, the deacon led the chief of the Chamber of Commerce.
The style of Captain One-eyed’s negotiation shifted in an instant. After a simple chat, he went straight to the point.
Turning around, he instructed Ye Liuyun to take out another storage container before explaining, "We’re leaving Courier Station tomorrow. You’ve confirmed that this is genuine Honorable Level blood."
"If the price is unsuitable, we’ll have no choice but to move to the rest of the Courier Stations in search of other buyers!"
After the chief once again confirmed that it was indeed Honorable Level Blood, so he took the initiative to negotiate the price with Caption One-eyed. freёweɓnovel.com
The initial price exceeded the expectations of Ye Liuyun and the others, yet it seemed that Captain One-eyed failed to understand their little gestures as he feigned dissatisfaction.
"Chief, as you know, items are known to be expensive for their rarity. We haven’t come across Honorable Level blood for years. Let alone this price, even if the price doubles, there will be others rushing to secure the deal. Since you’re not sincere, I guess we’ll have to search for alternatives in selling them off."
As Captain One-eyed spoke, he called for Ye Liuyun and Luo Yurou to leave the Chamber of Commerce.
Ye Liuyun and Luo Yurou went along with him by getting up on their feet to leave.
Captain One-eyed had mentioned that they would leave soon. Once they left Courier Station, the chief would be at a loss of locating them.
As expected, seeing that the opportunity to make a fortune was about to fail, the chief hopped to his feet once to press Captain One-eyed, Ye Liuyun, and the others down onto their seats.
"The price can be negotiated!"
Next, both of them began a new round of bargaining.
All information Captain One-eyed had obtained was from the beacon, so Captain One-eyed spoke without the slightest bit of compromisation.
Although the deacon was well aware, he dared not say it out loud. If it was exposed that he was the one revealing all the information, he would probably be fired by then.
It was why Captain One-eyed pretended to be an expert, which stunned the chief.
At last, the shopkeeper decided that he was at a loss for dealing with Captain One-eyed.
"Since you’re so smart, we won’t beat around the bush. Just tell us the price, and we’ll trade if we deem it suitable."
The final bid that Captain One-eyed offered was double the price Ye Liuyun and the others had previously discussed.
After thinking about it briefly, the shopkeeper accepted it.
Ye Liuyun, too, was worried that Captain One-eyed’s price would be too high, thus ruining the deal. Never would he have thought of the chief accepting it in the end.
"It’s just that we’ve sold only two of them. What about the remaining two?" Ye Liuyun curiously asked as he waited to watch the show.
After Captain One-eyed and the chief completed their trade, they were ready to leave. They had no intention of making another deal at all.
In the end, the chief spoke diplomatic language by mentioning that Captain One-eyed should come seeking him again if there were any other such deals in the future.
To his surprise, Captain One-eyed went along with his words by replying, "To be honest, I have two more. I wanted to sell them out at a high price, but upon seeing your kindness, I can’t bear to hide it from you again."
