Chapter 848: Another Opportunity
After Jiang Hao entered, a woman at the counter immediately asked him what he needed.
“Do you buy pills?” Jiang Hao asked. She hesitated. “During special times… Our prices may be lower.”
“No problem,” Jiang Hao said.
“What are you planning to sell?” asked the woman. She was young and only in the Golden Core Realm.
As for her actual age, he was unsure.
Hong Yuye also appeared young, but based on her cultivation realm, it was apparent that she had been cultivating for a long, long time.
“This.” Jiang Hao took out a Soul Ascension Realm pill.
It was a common type of pill. It wasn’t that expensive. But a Golden Core Realm cultivator would feel surprised.
The woman was quite curious. How did someone only at the Golden Core
Realm possess such a pill? ‘Did he steal it from somewhere?’
If he had found it somewhere, he wouldn’t be trying to sell it here.
The woman hesitated. “Please follow me to the third floor.”
On the third floor, Jiang Hao noticed another woman who was attending to the people waiting there.
“Are they here to sell as well?” he asked curiously.
“Most likely,” whispered the woman leading them. “The guest over there has a Primordial Spirit Realm. Friend, please be careful with your words.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
Then, he waited quietly.
He observed the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
With a robust aura and a bright Primordial Spirit, the person was probably beyond the Primordial Spirit Realm. She was probably at the Return to Void Realm.
He couldn’t understand why someone like that would be waiting here.
Most inside were in the Soul Ascension Realm, but no one queuing up was in the Soul Ascension Realm. Perhaps they didn’t have to line up for anything here.
But this person had concealed their abilities well.
If he didn’t have the knowledge from the nameless manual, he might not have been able to see through it.
The other person glanced at him, then continued waiting quietly.
The person appeared middle-aged. They were perhaps at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
It seemed like he lacked confidence.
It seemed that was why the woman at the counter sounded so confident. Jiang Hao sighed. There were indeed many cultivators who hid their true cultivation realms.
After some time, the door opened.
A middle-aged man left with another staff member. The man looked disappointed by the transaction.
“Senior, please don’t mind. We all work for profit,” said the woman reassuringly.
“It’s your turn, Senior,” said another staff member to the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
“Alright. Thank you,” the middle-aged man said politely. The woman beside him smiled. “Senior, please.”
It didn’t take long for the door to open again.
“Senior Hu asked you both to come in,” said another staff member.
“You can now go,” said the woman who had been escorting Jiang Hao and Hong
Yuye.
With a nod, Jiang Hao led Hong Yuye into the room.
Inside, they saw a large table.
Seated at the head of the table was an old man. His aura was restrained, but there were occasional fluctuations in it.
His cultivation was at the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm.
He seemed very strong.
A mere glance from him would be enough to kill a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
“Greetings, Senior,” said Jiang Hao politely.
On the left side of Senior Hu sat the middle-aged man from earlier.
So, Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye took their seats on the right.
After they sat down, Senior Hu said, “You all are here to sell treasures. You can bring them out one by one, and I’ll set a price. As you can see, we have many customers, ana It’S a critical time, so our prices nugnt De sngnt1Y lower tnan you expect. I hope you understand. If not, you’re free to leave.”
Although he spoke politely enough, it was clear that he didn’t want any arguments.
Jiang Hao didn’t mind. It seemed others felt the same.
“Then, let me go first,” said the middle-aged Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator reluctantly and took out a rusty iron sword. “I want to sell this treasure.” The sword wasn’t long. It was only the length of a forearm.
Despite some spiritual fluctuations, its rust-covered appearance made it hard to discern its usefulness.
“I found this in a well. Don’t be fooled by its appearance. It can withstand immense spiritual energy and is quite sharp. It may not be an exceptional treasure, but the material is undoubtedly good,” said the middle-aged Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
“It’s an ordinary treasure forged from true elemental stones. However, it’s not bad. We can purchase it for eight thousand spirit stones,” Senior Hu said.
Eight thousand was a small sum.
“Only eight thousand?” The middle-aged man seemed disappointed.
Jiang Hao looked at the treasure and felt a different aura emanating from it. It gave off a vast and profound energy.
It somewhat resembled the Endless Sword he had encountered in the past. The aura was as vast as the sky.
“Can I take a look?” Jiang Hao asked.
The middle-aged man looked surprised. Senior Hu looked displeased.
The two staff members were also shocked.
The middle-aged man agreed.
When Jiang Hao touched the sword, he could feel the aura.
This was definitely not an ordinary item.
An opportunity had shown itself to him. He had missed the stone monument, but he had gained this extraordinary rusty sword.
“I’ll take it,” Jiang Hao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, “I may not be able to offer much. I can only offer you seventy thousand for it.”
If this was truly related to the Endless Sword, seventy thousand would be a steal!
He didn’t expect to find such a sword here.
Of course, he didn’t offer a low price for it.
There was no need for that.
If he could gain something for it, seventy thousand would be worth it.
Since it was worth it, there was no need to make things difficult for the seller.
Everyone had their own path, and there was no need for unnecessary conflicts.
But if the person wasn’t willing to sell…
Jiang Hao felt that the person would most definitely be willing.
As soon as this price was mentioned, the people around were astonished, especially the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
“Why seventy thousand?” he asked.
“I cannot afford beyond that,” said Jiang Hao.
Gu Jin’s identity made him feel calm.
“I can give you a discount. I can make it fifty thousand,” said the middle-aged man.
“Alright.” Jiang Hao nodded.
The two completed the transaction.
The onlookers, especially Senior Hu, were stunned. His face turned dark.
However, the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator ignored the others, and Jiang Hao did the same.
“I still have some treasures here. See if you need anything else, Friend,” said the man as he took out other rusty treasures.
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but marvel when he looked at the items. ‘Did this man plunder someone’s tomb?’
After a careful look, he chose three treasures.
This time, the three items cost a total of fifty thousand spirit stones.
He had spent a hundred thousand on treasures.
He also took out some pills.
Since the highest cultivation was only at the Soul Ascension Realm, he selected some unique and healing spirit herbs.
The man offered him forty thousand spirit stones for them.
After receiving forty thousand spirit stones, Jiang Hao bought two more treasures and spent another thirty thousand.
Finally, the two looked at Senior Hu.
“Senior, please estimate the price of the remaining items.”
At that moment, the gloomy Senior Hu felt like he was being played.
He looked at the two people icily. “My shop doesn’t want to do business with you two. Please leave.”
The Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator frowned. “We waited in line so long to see you, Senior. Are you just going to kick us out just like that?” Senior Hu sneered. “You’re just a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.” As soon as he said that, his aura spread.
However, a giant aura like a hand pressed down and shattered his energy. The force of Return to Void Realm pressed Senior Hu. He was trembling in fear..
