My Core is the Boss

Chapter 284.2: The Buyer

"Even without cultivation techniques, my strength has improved slightly."

After returning home, Qi Yuan took a hot shower. He had heated up during training and sweated intensely. "This kind of cultivation seems related to my blood."

He peered into himself. While practicing, he had glimpsed hidden information. His blood seemed to be undergoing some kind of change, though he couldn’t tell what it was.

Qi Yuan sighed. "I need to quickly improve my cultivation..."

He was simply too weak at the moment. However, materials to speed up cultivation cost money.

"Should I set up a street stall as a doctor?"

With his perception and knowledge, he could certainly do it. Even without understanding this world’s illnesses, he could simply diagnose them as kidney deficiency and treat them with Daoist techniques. Problem solved.

"Better check if my cultivation method has sold." Logging into his account, his eyes lit up. "Someone tipped me?"

He had set a rule that private messages required a 10,000 coin tip. He hadn't expected anyone to actually pay, which delighted him. Business had begun!

"As expected, this world has plenty of rich fools!"

However, upon seeing that his balance only increased by 5,000, his tooth ached.

"The platform takes half the tip? What a scam," he complained while opening the chat.

└Will you sell that technique for 10,000?

He casually replied.

Qi Yuan: 99.99 million. No bargaining. If you try, I won't bother with the deal.

Since he created the technique, the price was fair. In the Canglan World, once completed, the Super Invincible Slightly Explosive Technique could serve as a sect's supreme treasure. It was far beyond top-tier methods.

└Can we video chat?

Qi Yuan: Video chat counts as adding me. Tip 100,000 first.

He could not be bothered to spend time video-calling someone for no reason.

Meanwhile, at a border town in Yuelang Country, a man in a black jacket narrowed his eyes.

Beside him, a young man in short sleeves said angrily, "This guy's clearly a scammer! 100,000 just for that? He thinks we're idiots? I'm sure he doesn't have the technique. Cultivating to immortality? What a load of shit!"

Saying so, he glanced at his boss. Seeing that the man was thinking, the younger man did not dare to say more.

The boss tapped the table thoughtfully, saying calmly, "We have all his identity details, if he dares cheat me, we'll just go to Qin Yuan and capture him."

As an arms dealer, he was used to putting everything on the line. Risk didn't scare him. And it's only 100,000...

Without hesitation, the boss sent the money. "I will transfer it."

Then, he gave the younger man a look. Grasping his boss’ intentions, he immediately took out a sniper rifle, placing it on the table. The boss clearly intended to use it as intimidation.

After a dozen seconds, the video connected.

Before he could say anything, Qi Yuan's lazy voice came through.

「Five minutes. If you don't decide within five minutes, no deal.」

The man was momentarily stunned. The words that he had been preparing got stuck in his throat.

However, rather than getting angry, he merely reached for the sniper rifle on the table. "100,000 for five minutes? Your time is quite valuable, Mr. Qi." frёewebnoѵēl.com

Qi Yuan was not at all surprised that his identity was known. After all, information on the internet had long since become like a sieve. Not to mention the wealthy elites or those in power, even a minor clerk could expose someone's personal data.

A few months ago in the Qin Yuan Kingdom, a low-ranking official even abused his authority to threaten others with doxxing online just to pursue a celebrity. Suffice to say, it made the headlines.

「You're the one profiting.」

Qi Yuan was being honest. Even without breaking through a major realm, five minutes of his guidance would still bring tremendous benefits to any Canglan cultivator.

The boss stared at Qi Yuan's youthful face, a complicated expression appearing on his own. This was the first time he had encountered someone so difficult to deal with. While the collected data claimed Qi Yuan had a mental illness, it was clearly wrong. The confidence in his gaze and his relaxed, almost lazy demeanor weren’t traits a mentally ill person would possess.

"About the Super Invincible Slightly Explosive Technique... Could you show me a bit more of the later parts? We need to proceed carefully. This is a hundred-million deal."

The boss lowered the sniper rifle. After all, it was as if it didn’t even exist to Qi Yuan. The boss inexplicably felt more pressure than when dealing with the leaders of small nations.

「A hundred million is a big deal? I've heard some people set that as just a small goal. As for this technique... if you don't want it, forget it. I might not even bother selling it again in the future. This opportunity only comes once, so you'd better make good use of it.」

Qi Yuan sounded at ease. Though he required money, he disliked being bound. If it got too troublesome, he’d just walk away from the sale. Making money was simple for a cultivator. He also had a year’s worth of future memories. At worst, he could just buy lottery tickets.

The boss stared at Qi Yuan, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. One hundred million was no small sum. It would sting even for him. What if this was a trap? He hesitated, torn. Should he capture Qi Yuan instead?

The younger man stood to the side, his gaze anxious. He was convinced that Qi Yuan was a fraud. Still, since his boss hadn't spoken, he didn't dare to interrupt.

「You should be in Yuelang Country, right? I happen to be in need of a plant unique to your region, the Kunqing Grass. If you buy my technique, we can proceed with a second round of cooperation. You can help transport them to me, and I will compensate you. I have medicinal liquids and pills that are useful for cultivation.」

Qi Yuan’s question caught them all off guard.

Kunqing Grass? The boss froze for a moment, glancing at the potted plant on the table. How does he know?!

Even within Yue Lang, the Kunqing Grass was known only to a small number of people. According to his investigation, Qi Yuan was just an ordinary citizen of the Qin Yuan Kingdom. How could he possibly know something so obscure?!
