Chapter 88: President Shang is also a poor man
Did this mortal actually adopt that gifted and enchanting girl?
If you think about it this way, there isn't really any problem.
A self-taught cultivator, she knows a little bit about alchemy, but she is extremely gifted, so she has the potential to make a big splash. However, because she was adopted by a mortal, she is unable to be taught properly.
What a waste of resources!
But Shang Xiong also felt that things were not going well at this time. If Qin Yiyao's ideas could be influenced by this mortal...it would seem that things would be even more difficult to deal with.
Talking with this guy named Gu is like talking to a deaf person.
He stood up and said in a deep voice: "You mean you can make the decision for her?"
"That's right." Gu Heng replied calmly, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. What you bring out can't impress me. If it can't impress me, then she won't accept it."
Shang Xiong: "..."
Gu Heng looked at Shang Xiong's uncertain expression and suddenly began to feel a little excited.
This guy, in order to wage a business war with Jinhuang Baohang, seems to be willing to spend any amount of money. Gu Heng really wants to know what "good stuff" President Shang can come up with to impress him.
Shang Xiong was obviously unwilling to leave like this.
He hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Okay, I'll make the last offer!"
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.
Shang Xiong snapped his fingers, and Qing Yi took out a long wooden box as if by magic. Shang Xiong took it and opened it.
Inside, lay a long sword.
The scabbard was exquisitely carved, and even when the sword was not unsheathed, it seemed that a cold and sharp sword light was flowing. Qing Yi's eyes suddenly became hot, and he even felt a cold and murderous aura.
This is a sword of the yellow grade!
"The value of this sword far exceeds these two boxes of spirit stones!"
Shang Xiong showed a proud smile, but he knew how precious this sword was, which Gu Heng, a mortal, did not understand, so he said: "This sword is called 'Pan Ruo', and it is my best personal collection! I know she is good at using swords, and this sword is enough to make her even more powerful!"
"How about giving this 'Pan Ruo' to your Miss Qin?"
After he finished speaking, he stared at Gu Heng's expression, a triumphant smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Shang Xiong also spent a lot of money to get this "Panruo".
Moreover, it is not easy to find a yellow-grade sword in the entire Kuyun Province!
For a self-taught cultivator who was adopted by a mortal, how could he possibly think of rejecting such a precious sword?
Shang Xiong guessed that the sword used by the girl might be just a first or second grade ordinary sword. Most casual cultivators used this kind of sword. Such rubbish weapons, except that they could better withstand the power of Tao, were basically no different from weapons made by mortal blacksmiths.
But ordinary products above level nine are the yellow grade among the "lower four grades"!
For weapons, this is an absolute qualitative change!
In fact, if this incident had not happened, Shang Xiong would most likely have given the sword to Qing Yi in the end. He had been coveting this treasure for a long time.
Now profit is still the most important thing, and as long as he can control the sales of Gold Spirit Liquid and Green Spirit Liquid at the same time, let alone Yellow Grade, even Black Grade and Earth Grade magical instruments and weapons, Shang Xiong will be able to get them in the future!
"...President Shang, you are kidding, right?"
But what surprised Shang Xiong was that after hearing the reward he offered, Gu Heng not only did not show any excitement, but frowned and sneered contemptuously.
"What do you mean by that?"
Shang Xiong's eyes widened.
"President Shang, you consider this kind of junk as your best collection?"The expression on Gu Heng's face became very subtle.
He didn't even bother to pull out the sword to see its condition, because there was no need to do so.
After the system's "forging" skill was fully mastered, it actually unlocked a unique but useless "passive skill" for Gu Heng, which is that he can tell the quality of a weapon just by its appearance.
This so-called "Panruo" sword is really rubbish!
How rubbish is it? Even the scraps left over from when he made weapons a few years ago can easily break this sword!
Among the weapons stored in the hut in his backyard, the worst one could be able to beat this thing!
But the president of Qingfeng Baohang is not short of money, so why would he take out such inferior products and call them his "most precious collection"?
Apart from anything else, those two hundred thousand spirit stones could definitely buy better weapons than this garbage.
But Shang Xiong was so sure that the garbage in his hand was a "treasure sword"...
Gu Heng's eyes suddenly became full of pity.
He was cheated!
Someone is passing off inferior products as high-quality ones, and President Shang is fooling around with them!
This guy is so pitiful... First, his business secrets were discovered by Jinhuang Baoxing, and now he is losing money on revenue. And it turns out that his "most precious collection" is a fake!
It's rare for a person's luck to be this bad.
"Broken? What the hell are you talking about!?"
Shang Xiong was really furious this time, even though he had been a little patient before. Even when he took out the treasure that was hidden in the bottom of the box, he felt that the matter was mostly settled.
But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that the word "broken" would pop out of Gu Heng's mouth.
Is there something wrong with this mortal's brain?
A yellow-grade sword is just a piece of junk in his eyes?
If this sword were taken to the capital of Kuyun Province for auction, it would easily fetch a high price of four or five hundred thousand spirit stones!
And this is definitely not a fake, it has been authenticated by a professional blacksmith!
"Alright, alright, look how anxious you are."
Gu Heng waved his hand nonchalantly. He spoke slowly and lazily, "President Shang, please don't bother. No matter what conditions you set, the Golden Spirit Liquid will continue to be sold on the shelves of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Store."
He was too lazy to continue talking to Shang Xiong.
"...Are you really going to reject me?"
Shang Xiong's face turned completely dark, and he finally understood that he had run into a tough guy.
He is not mentally ill, he did it on purpose!
Saying that this yellow-grade sword was a piece of junk was actually just making fun of Shang Xiong, because from the very beginning, Gu Heng had no intention of accepting the price he offered!
"That's right!" Gu Heng answered directly, "President Shang, the road is over there. Don't bump into the door frame on your way out."
Shang Xiong took a deep breath, and this time he said nothing, closed the wooden box with force, turned around and strode away. Qing Yi looked at Gu Heng meaningfully, smiled, and picked up the two boxes of spirit stones and followed him.
"How could such a person be the guild president? How bizarre."
Gu Heng looked at Shang Xiong who left angrily and shook his head helplessly.
I can't keep my business secrets, I can't win the business war, and I'm fooled by scammers...
President Shang's intelligence has a kind of rigid and superficial beauty.
