Like mountains and rivers, doubt there's a road, when willows shade and flowers bloom, another village appears!
Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang" was truly too excited.
He originally thought he was destined to lose this round.
Unexpectedly.
Utterly unexpectedly.
"Qian Duoduo" was so righteous, willing to forgo the extra "one million low-grade spirit stones" to honor his promise and do business with "Hui Ren Tang."
He was deeply moved!
Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang" was so touched he was nearly in tears.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, you, I..."
For a moment, Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang" found himself choked with emotion.
"...Fellow Daoist Qian, on behalf of Hui Ren Tang, I express our deepest gratitude! Hui Ren Tang never mistreats its friends. How about this, for this business deal, Hui Ren Tang offers twelve million low-grade spirit stones!"
Saying this, Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang," with the air of a victor, condescendingly looked at Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang." He smiled proudly and declared his victory.
"Hui Ren Tang will forever be one step ahead of Chao Ren Tang!"
Damn it!
Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang" was so enraged his innards churned.
This was too much!
Simply too damn much!
He was not only angry at "Hui Ren Tang" but also harbored resentment towards "Qian Duoduo"...
Just as Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang" was contemplating whether to retaliate against "Qian Duoduo," something unexpected happened.
"Qian Duoduo" shook his head once more, saying with utmost seriousness.
"No, Hui Ren Tang offers twelve million low-grade spirit stones; for this business, our Dragon Rider Merchant Guild refuses!"
Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang"
(⊙＿⊙)?
Bewildered!
Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang"
(⊙＿⊙)?
Doubly bewildered!
The "rogue cultivator vendors" present
(⊙＿⊙)?
Ten times bewildered!
...
They couldn't comprehend it at all!
What was "Qian Duoduo" doing?
He wasn't doing business with "Hui Ren Tang," nor was he doing business with "Chao Ren Tang." What did he want?
As everyone was in a state of confusion, a wild, excited laugh rang out.
"I get it, ahahaha... I finally understand the trick Fatty Qian is up to!"
Lu Yun, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly seemed injected with chicken blood. His expression was manic, and he jumped up with extreme excitement.
His gaunt, dark, and thin body gesticulated wildly with emotion.
He pointed his finger at "Qian Duoduo's" nose and declared.
"This guy is a complete fraud!"
"He's been spewing nonsense to grab attention!"
"In reality, he can't produce ten thousand bottles of Starlight Spiritual Light Water; he's deceiving you all!"
Uh...
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked towards "Qian Duoduo's" stall.
Indeed.
At "Qian Duoduo's" stall, there were only about two to three hundred bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water." The quantity was far from ten thousand bottles!
Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang" and Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang" both frowned.
Could it be that, as Lu Yun claimed, "Qian Duoduo" had been boasting all along and couldn't produce ten thousand bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water"?
Everyone else also looked at "Qian Duoduo" with doubtful eyes.
Old Master Shen Shan even looked at "Qian Duoduo" with concern.
"Little Qian, you..."
It's alright if you don't have enough "Starlight Spiritual Light Water." Just tell the truth. We didn't take any money anyway, so it's not "deception."
Before Old Master Shen Shan could finish his comforting words, "Qian Duoduo" made a move.
"Qian Duoduo's" face was wreathed in a radiant, innocent smile.
He flipped his palm.
The high-grade storage ring on his thumb activated.
Spiritual light shimmered.
Ripples of spatial energy emanated outwards.
Immediately, bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water" rained down, quickly forming a small mountain.
This quantity...
Let alone ten thousand bottles, there were easily fifty to sixty thousand bottles!
What the hell!
Everyone was stunned into silence.
So much "Starlight Spiritual Light Water," it was incredible!
Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang" and Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang" felt their legs go weak. They staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground.
It was too shocking!
They had never in their wildest dreams imagined that "Qian Duoduo" could produce so much "Starlight Spiritual Light Water" at once.
Fifty to sixty thousand bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water," the quantity was terrifying!
Insane!
At this moment, "Qian Duoduo" spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Our Dragon Rider Merchant Guild does not haggle!"
"It was agreed that Starlight Spiritual Light Water would sell for one thousand low-grade spirit stones per bottle, and that's exactly what it is. Not one spirit stone more, and not one spirit stone less!"
"Therefore, Manager Zhu and Manager Ma, if you wish to purchase ten thousand bottles of Starlight Spiritual Light Water, that's no problem. Bring ten million low-grade spirit stones, and you can take your goods now!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three consecutive sounds of falling.
The first sound came from Lu Yun.
He had once again been utterly humiliated in a spectacular fashion!
He claimed "Qian Duoduo" didn't have ten thousand bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water."
"Qian Duoduo" had, in a flash, produced fifty to sixty thousand bottles.
The sheer impact of this revelation was too much for Lu Yun to bear. He fainted on the spot.
He lay on the ground like a dead dog.
No one paid him any attention, serving him right!
The second sound came from Manager Zhu of "Hui Ren Tang."
The sudden appearance of fifty to sixty thousand bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water" was too much for Manager Zhu's heart.
His legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground.
He had knelt before "Lord Qian Duoduo"!
The third sound came from Manager Ma of "Chao Ren Tang."
His "mental journey" was similar to Manager Zhu's.
Manager Ma also knelt.
He had knelt before "Lord Qian Duoduo"!
...
The entire scene fell into a stunned silence.
Everyone was awestruck by "Qian Duoduo's" magnificent display.
After more than ten minutes, someone finally came to their senses.
A sharp-witted "rogue cultivator vendor."
His eyes were filled with greed as he stared intently at the "Starlight Spiritual Light Water."
He was penniless and couldn't afford "Starlight Spiritual Light Water," yet he desperately wanted it. What could he do?
Was there a possibility he could stage a "zero-yuan purchase"!
While "Qian Duoduo" wasn't paying attention, he could snatch over a dozen bottles of "Starlight Spiritual Light Water" and flee.
"Starlight Spiritual Light Water" had a market price of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones per bottle.
A dozen bottles would be equivalent to over a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
With this "fortune," he could leave "Three Immortals Port" forever, find a place to live in luxury, and wouldn't that be wonderful!
The "rogue cultivator vendor" grew more excited the more he thought about it, believing the plan was feasible.
"Qian Duoduo" was merely a "Golden Core cultivator," and not a particularly strong one. The success rate of a "zero-yuan purchase" on him would be high!
The "rogue cultivator vendor's" eyes gleamed. With a sudden movement, he lunged towards the "Starlight Spiritual Light Water."
