Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Black Market Merchant Tips

He was just casually strolling through this familiar dark market.

He didn’t have any hopes.

But incredulously, there actually was someone selling Beast Whip.

And it was a King-Level Demon Emperor bloodline Beast Whip!

This was even more potent than a regular Demon Emperor bloodline Beast Whip!

What a heaven-sent fortune!

There was hope for the prescription!

Jiang Fan looked up.

It was a round-faced old man with gray hair and beard, with a green mole on his forehead, looking like a Bodhisattva from the temple at first glance.

In fact, he really was a living Bodhisattva.

He was fretting about having no buyers.

He was about to nod immediately, but then remembered Wen Shengnan’s black-market secret: Don’t be polite with impatient customers.

Seeing this old man so excited, he must be eager to buy.

And despite his age, he was still so improper.

So, Jiang Fan didn’t hold back and started bargaining from a high price!

He raised seven fingers.

“Seventy thousand?” Zhuang Yuanyin, seeing Jiang Fan raise the price temporarily, immediately frowned.

Was he being taken for a fool?

But thinking about this Beast Whip, this was the only one in the entire Nine-Sect Land.

Seventy thousand crystal stones was an exorbitant price, but he had no choice.

He was about to pay immediately.

My god!

He’d buy at seventy thousand?

How eager was this old man?

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed, and he re-quoted, crossing two fingers to form a cross.

“One hundred thousand?”

Zhuang Yuanyin, with a voice full of authority despite no anger, rebuked: “Young man, this isn’t how you do business!”

“Who keeps raising the price on the spot?”

Jiang Fan pouted: “Take it or leave it.”

Squeak—

Zhuang Yuanyin ground his remaining few old teeth.

With his status, he could afford one hundred thousand crystal stones.

He was also willing to pay such a price for a Beast Whip with a Demon Emperor bloodline that was hard to find in the world.

But Jiang Fan’s act of raising the price on the spot infuriated him!

Buying it made him feel like a fool!

Not buying, there was no other place!

After struggling for a while, he finally took out a palm-sized jade plaque with a sour face.

Spirit light shimmered on it, and the front was engraved with the number “100,000”.

“Take it!”

He threw it onto the stall.

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, what was this?

Wen Shengnan’s face changed.

She quickly wrapped the Beast King Beast Whip, offered it with both hands respectfully, and said: “Senior, please take it.”

Zhuang Yuanyin grabbed it and gave Jiang Fan a fierce glare, snorting through his nostrils as he left.

Jiang Fan hurriedly said: “You haven’t given…”

Wen Shengnan quickly grabbed him and said: “Isn’t this money?”

She picked up the jade plaque on the stall, full of astonishment.

“This is a crystal token unique to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. With this token, you can exchange it for the marked amount of crystal stones at the pavilion.”

“This item is indeed a crystal token worth one hundred thousand.”

Jiang Fan realized.

A crystal token was similar to a silver note used in the mortal world.

Because carrying too many crystal stones was inconvenient.

Carrying a crystal token was undoubtedly much easier.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you shouldn’t have raised the price back-to-back just now.”

Wen Shengnan examined the crystal token and said solemnly: “The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion only issues crystal tokens to the Nine-Sect Masters and elders of each peak.”

“That old man just now must have an esteemed status.”

“You’ve already offended him.”

Ugh!

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but feel guilty.

But thinking it over, he nonchalantly put away the crystal token and said: “Offend then offend.”

“The world is so big, where could he find me?”

Wen Shengnan nodded slightly: “True enough!”

“Maybe he’s an elder from the Outer Sect, your chances of running into each other are almost zero.”

Thinking about how Jiang Fan sold a two-ten-thousand-crystal-stone Beast Whip for a hundred thousand crystal stones.

She couldn’t help but murmur enviously: “I thought Junior Brother Jiang was a pure little white.”

“Turns out, he’s even craftier than me.”

“If his belly were cut open, it must be all black inside.”

A cheerful Jiang Fan accompanied Wen Shengnan to sell all the Beast Whips.

Then, humming a little tune, he returned to the Sect Master Peak.

As soon as he opened the door.

The room was once again full of half-chewed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!

This guy had gone to steal from the Medicine Garden again!

Jiang Fan grumpily took out a Spiritual Medicine from the Medicine Peak and tossed it to the Little Qilin:

“You little thief, if you get caught, don’t you dare rat me out!”

The Little Qilin’s eyes sparkled.

It immediately spat out the half-chewed Spirit Ginseng in its mouth and happily grabbed the Spiritual Medicine to eat.

Compared to ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It preferred refined Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Pills!

Jiang Fan tidied up the room briefly, then swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill, sat cross-legged, and began to consolidate the Seventh Layer of the Foundation Establishment realm he broke through today.

Unbeknownst to him.

In the side hall, Liu Wuchen was looking bewildered.

“Master, what happened to you?”

He noticed that Zhuang Yuanyin’s expression was off.

He returned with a dark face, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

But in Green Cloud City, who dared to make Zhuang Yuanyin suffer?

Zhuang Yuanyin grumpily threw the Beast Whip on the table.

Upon a closer look, Liu Wuchen was overjoyed: “A Beast Whip with a Demon Emperor bloodline? And it’s from a Beast King?”

“Incredible, you actually bought it?”

That means there’s hope for the prescription!

“But Master, why do you look unhappy?”

Liu Wuchen asked, puzzled.

Zhuang Yuanyin snorted: “Do you know how much it cost me? One hundred thousand! A whole one hundred thousand crystal stones!”

Liu Wuchen felt a twinge in his heart.

One hundred thousand crystal stones was no small amount even for the Sect Master Peak.

But, if it could restore Zhuang Yuanyin to his peak, then one hundred thousand was worth it.

“One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, this item is priceless, being able to buy it is a great fortune.” Liu Wuchen tried to console him.

Zhuang Yuanyin fumed: “It’s not the money I’m upset about. Do you know how detestable that kid selling this thing was?”

He then recounted his experience.

“Intolerable!”

Liu Wuchen, enraged, smashed the table with a palm: “Isn’t this bullying?”

“Raising the price on the spot was one thing, but to do it twice!”

“He has got a lot of nerve!”

“I’ll send people to capture him right now!”

Selling at one hundred thousand crystal stones and raising the price on the spot to one hundred thousand crystal stones were two different things!

No one could accept that.

This black-hearted kid had blackmailed even the old Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect.

Simply audacious!

Seeing him so furious, Zhuang Yuanyin felt somewhat relieved and said, “Forget it, forget it.”

“If I wanted to teach him a lesson, I would have done it at that time.”

“I just came out of seclusion and got ripped off, so I feel a bit uncomfortable.”

“Besides, if you go to capture him with great pomp, do you want the whole world to know that I bought a Beast Whip last night?”

This…

Liu Wuchen had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Zhuang Yuanyin picked up the Beast Whip, feeling much more reassured, and finally had the mood to inspect the current state of the Sect Master Peak.

“Summon all Inner Sect disciples tomorrow.”

“I want to see what kind of good seedlings there are.”

Liu Wuchen cupped his hands and said, “Yes, I will make sure everyone is present!”

The next day.

After a night of cultivation, Jiang Fan was full of energy.

The realm of the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment was stabilized.

“The disciple evaluation shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Jiang Fan analyzed.

Even if Tang Tianlong used his full strength, he could handle it with ease.

Attempting to expel him from the sect wouldn’t be easy.

Bang, bang, bang—

At this moment.

The summoning bell of the great hall rang.

Jiang Fan calculated with his fingers, looking surprised: “It’s not the end of the month to hand in the tasks, why is Master summoning everyone?”

Right then, Liu Qingxian’s call came from outside the door.

“Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan, hurry, the Supreme Elder is summoning all the disciples!”

Jiang Fan was energized.

He felt a bit excited.

Recently, he only encountered the Supreme Elders of other peaks.

His own Supreme Elder finally showed up.

This gave him a great sense of security.

He quickly tidied up and rushed out.

Eager to see the true appearance of the Supreme Elder!
