THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
258: So, Top Students Can Lie, too
Jiang Hao received a bottle of pills. He feels disappointed. He did not use the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, if it was completely purified by Bai Ye herself, she could use it to curse him!
Saying a curse is complicated. He needs more pills. “Is it really perfected by Senior Brother Bai Ye?” Jiang Hao asked. Of course, I will never deceive you, Ye Yaqing said solemnly.
“Is there any more?” Jiang Hao asked.
"Yes, of course! But do you have enough spirit stones? After all, you are only at the final stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.’
“ Junior sister, your cultivation seems to be lower than mine, yet you have many pills! If you have pills, then I can get spirit stones.” For a moment, Ye Yaqing was stunned. Then he nodded.
“Of course, Senior Sister. You're right!"
He took out another nine bottles of pills. “This...total ten bottles. That would be four hundred spirit stones.”
“Is there any more?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Senior sister, you have spirit stones in very large quantities!” “I have saved him for many years,” said Jiang Hao.
Many people knew that he was selling amulets. Why else would the people from the Law Enforcement Hall be watching him every day? They want to trick him.
Amulet makers, pill refiners, artifact forgers, and formation experts were all money-making professions.
Some earn a lot in their field, while others do not. But it takes patience and talent to make it. Otherwise, everyone can do it, and the item will have no value at all.
“I'm running out of pills now.. How about a magic artifact? However, his condition was slightly damaged. I plan to bring it to be repaired.” Ye Yaqing looked around and took out a palm-sized shield. “This Mountain of Hope shield can be used for defense. You can even activate automatic defenses with it.”
“Automatic defense treasure is extremely rare. They're holding all the foundations
Establishment Realm attacks and even some Gold Core Realm attacks as well. However, the Wishful Mountain Shield was broken. It takes three thousand spirit stones to repair it. The market price should be about 2,500 spirit stones for this broken shield.”
“So, I have to pay you 5,500 spirit stones if I want it?” asked Jiang Hao.
“Six thousand actually. You need to pay an additional five hundred spirit stones.
Otherwise, there is no advantage for me.”
Jiang Hao was stunned. Where did he get so many spirit stones?
However, if it really was Bai Ye's personal treasure, it would be useful to her. That would increase the success rate of his curse.
The pill cost four hundred spirit stones. Six thousand shield. That's too much.
However, his pills and magic artifacts could be sold. Jiang Hao did not think it would take much time to repair the broken shield.
“I will take the pill now.. I will consider the magic artifact and contact you back.” Jiang Hao gave him four hundred spirit stones. “Let's meet here tomorrow. I'll confirm with you whether I want that magical artifact.
"alright. I'll wait for you here tomorrow.” Ye Yaqing received the spirit stone happily. “Do you really have six thousand spirit stones?”
“I only have three thousand. As for the other three thousand to fix, I might have to wait and think about it.”
If he was willing to sell his shield for three thousand, it would be good.
Ye Yaqing nodded.
Afterwards, Jiang Hao returned to his spirit field, while Ye Yaqing continued to take care of the spirit herbs.
The next day, Jiang Hao set up a stall in the market to sell talismans.
He took some time to decide if it was worth buying that shield. He wanted to judge it first. The price was extremely expensive, so he wanted to ascertain if it really belonged to Bai Ye.
If yes, he will buy it.
He needed more spirit stones. He currently had 1,300 spirit stones.
If he could sell everything today, he would have enough spirit stones to buy those artifacts. That's impossible, unless…
“Do you have Power Manipulation Amulet?” ask for a voice.
Jiang Hao looked up and saw a familiar face. He knows the guy. He was always rude, but he paid well.
"NO." Jiang Hao shook his head.
"DON'T YOU?" Duan Guan said in a disdainful tone. “You can't even make a talisman that simple? Is your final stage in the Foundation Establishment Realm just for show? I've never seen such an ugly fetish maker. You have talent, but you're lazy. You might get killed sooner or later. Just go back to your house and farm or something.”
After he finished speaking, Duan Guan swept away all the talismans on display and left behind 2,250 spirit stones.
Jiang Hao was stunned. Duan Guan was very disrespectful, but he always bought everything from him. How could he have so many spirit stones?
This time, the only reason Jiang Hao set up a stall in the market was to wait for Duan Guan.
He did have some Power Manipulation Talismans, but he didn't really sell them.
Duan Guan found fault with Jiang Hao no matter what he did. He did not want to offend her by appearing capable. He was afraid that Duan Guan would stop buying talismans from him. It will be more of a problem than a benefit.
Jiang Hao hoped that he would also meet Duan Guan in the coming months. Even Leng Tian would do it. He usually bought a lot of amulets.
After which, he headed to the border of the Hundred Bone Forest in Spirit Mountain. Ye Yaqing was waiting for him.
“Senior sister, you really came! Have you made your decision?”
“Can I see the item first?”
"Of course."
After receiving the magic artifact, Jiang Hao used Daily Valuation on it.
[Destroyed Mountain of Hope Shield: Once perfected, it can move as one wishes. It was sturdy like a huge mountain, with an extremely strong defensive power. It was an important magic artifact for Bai Ye when she was in the Golden Core Realm. However, it was badly damaged and was later discovered by Ye Yaqing. Even if it is repaired, the effect will not be the same as before. Ye Yaqing was waiting to sell it to the poor fool.]
Jiang Hao was silent. It was indeed a Bai Ye artifact!
'It's stupid...' She felt ashamed.
However, he did not mind. He could happily be a fool.
"I'll buy it." He handed over three thousand spirit stones.
He now only had five hundred spirit stones.
"Are you sure?" Ye Yaqing was surprised. "Yes. If everything goes well, I can sell it more expensive.”
“You really played big. I wish you luck.”
Jiang Hao said goodbye to her. None of them tried to find out more about each other. It's just a business transaction. Better that way.
The next day was the last day of the sect's mission.
Jiang Hao assessed the pills. The first bottle was not purified by Bai Ye. He's been tricked!
He sighed. 'I never expected someone who ranked fifth among the top ten disciples to deceive others for the sake of obtaining spirit stones...'
It seems like everyone needs spirit stones.
He understands his needs. He was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he did not even have as much money as someone at his stage had.
'After completing the sect mission today, I will wait for the midnight meeting..'
