Chapter 570 Purchasing the Purple Dragon Kui

Zi Lingling said dismissively, "Winning him is not the goal, playing with him is not the goal. Winning him to death and playing with him to death is the goal!"

Xuan Yuanzhe's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Zi Lingling, full of confidence, had a unique charm that made his heart sink even deeper without him realizing it.

"Miss Zi, it's easier to dodge an open gun than a hidden arrow. Although Lü Zuichang isn't very bright, it's best to be careful. Never underestimate your opponent!"

Zi Lingling nodded.

Even when hunting a rabbit, a lion uses its full strength.

She might disdain her opponents, but she would never underestimate them.

She had already experienced the humiliation of capsizing in a ditch once, so she would absolutely not suffer the same loss a second time.

"Let's go! We'll go to the shopping district and see how to consign pills for auction."

Zi Lingling didn't want to dwell on the topic of Lü Zuichang and directly changed the subject.

Xuan Yuanzhe smiled and shook his head, leading Zi Lingling to the sixth floor.

Linxian Restaurant indeed lived up to its reputation.

All sorts of treasures were available, covering every need.

Of course, to make it easier for customers to find what they needed, Linxian Restaurant had categorized everything, such as the cultivation technique and secret manual area, the pill area, the weapon area, the rare plant area, the exotic treasure area, and so on.

Each rare treasure was protected by an array. If anyone attempted to steal it, the alarm device within the array would be activated.

The treasures here could be purchased with spirit stones or exchanged for other items.

Bartering, as it was called, meant exchanging items of equal value.

Zi Lingling leisurely browsed through the other areas before finally stopping at the rare plant section.

In the past, Zi Lingling would only buy medicinal herbs with ample spiritual energy and potent medicinal properties, which were often very expensive.

But now that she had the nascent world, a herb cultivation facility, why would she waste money on such foolishness? Zi Lingling would never do that!

"Hello, how much is this Purple Dragon Kui?"

Zi Lingling's eyes swept over a dark purple herb and she asked.

"Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"

A thin old man poked his head out from between the herbs and replied.

"Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones? Are you sure?"

Zi Lingling exclaimed in surprise.

She was surprised because although the Purple Dragon Kui was precious, its medicinal efficacy had already diminished by seventy percent, making it far from worth that price.

The thin old man nodded and said, "Very sure! But if you, young lady, are not set on this particular Purple Dragon Kui, I would advise you not to buy it!"

Zi Lingling was taken aback again.

She had never encountered a seller who advised a buyer not to purchase their own goods before.

The thin old man smiled and continued, "The medicinal properties of this Purple Dragon Kui are less than thirty percent of its original potency. If you buy it, you will definitely suffer a loss!"

Zi Lingling nodded and handed over a spatial storage bag, smiling, "Thank you for your reminder, senior. Here are three thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Please count them!"

Although she wasn't a fool, she couldn't help but acknowledge the old man's honesty.

Therefore, she accepted the small loss.

After all, even if the Purple Dragon Kui only had ten percent of its medicinal efficacy left, she could still turn it into a treasure and restore it to its full potency.

The thin old man looked at Zi Lingling in shock, not reaching out to take the spatial storage bag. "Miss, you... I already warned you, why are you doing this?"

Zi Lingling smiled, "I appreciate your kindness, senior, but I truly need this Purple Dragon Kui. Please, be willing to part with it!"

"This..."

The thin old man was at a loss for what to do.

If he took the money, this Purple Dragon Kui was not worth that price.

If he didn't take it, it was an item for sale at Linxian Restaurant, and he had no right to refuse a customer.

"Here are five thousand mid-grade spirit stones. I'll buy this Purple Dragon Kui grass!"

"Slap!"

A spatial storage bag landed on the counter, and at the same time, a delicate hand reached for the Purple Dragon Kui.

Zi Lingling's eyes narrowed, and she looked at the owner of the delicate hand.

The owner of the hand was a woman dressed in a wide-sleeved, flowing immortal dress of crimson. She was as proud as a peacock.

Zi Lingling said coldly, "The Purple Dragon Kui has already been purchased by me. You are too late."

As she spoke, she blocked the woman's hand.

The woman snorted and said, "You say you bought it, so you bought it? Have you paid? Has the transaction been completed?"

She said this as she looked at the spatial storage bag in Zi Lingling's hand. "Since your transaction is not yet complete, this Purple Dragon Kui is still for sale. What problem is there with me buying it?"

Zi Lingling was amused and angered.

She had truly witnessed what "robber's logic" meant.

However, anyone who dared to try and snatch her belongings would have to pay the price.

"According to your logic, although you have paid the spirit stones now, this senior has not accepted them, so your transaction is not complete. Therefore, take your claws away!"

The woman was stunned. She clearly hadn't expected Zi Lingling's retort to be so sharp, causing her to shoot herself in the foot.

She said angrily, "Very good! No one has ever dared to speak to me like this before. You have successfully angered me!"

Zi Lingling scoffed, "Hmph! That's because you haven't met me yet! But since you've met me today, your arrogant days are over!"

The woman's anger flared, "How dare you speak to me like this? Do you know who I am?"

Zi Lingling sneered, "What? Can't argue with me, so you're going to rely on your status? However, I'm busy and don't have time to find out who you are!"

"You!"

The woman was speechless, cornered by Zi Lingling's words.

Zi Lingling, no longer bothering with her, turned to the thin old man and said, "Senior, may I have the Purple Dragon Kui now?"

The thin old man nodded, then deactivated the array surrounding the Purple Dragon Kui, took it out, and handed it to Zi Lingling. "Since you are determined to buy it, this old man will just have to take advantage of the situation!"

"Wait!"

The woman stopped him. "Old man, you refused my five thousand mid-grade spirit stones but only accepted three thousand from that b*tch. Are you stupid?"

The thin old man's expression turned cold, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

"First, since Linxian Restaurant has entrusted me to sell this item, who I sell it to is my own business.

Second, one must adhere to the principle of first come, first served when buying. This young lady arrived first and had already settled on a price with me. Although the transaction was not yet complete, it was in progress, and other transactions could not be conducted.

Third, I dislike dealing with impolite people and I am not lacking in two thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Fourth, whether I am stupid or not has nothing to do with you."

"..." The woman was rendered speechless by his sharp retort.

Zi Lingling seized the opportunity to secure the Purple Dragon Kui, then walked up to the woman and, without any preamble, raised her hand.
