Chapter 821: Chapter 794: Half-Damaged True Immortal Puppet
"Fellow, your Yu Zhou is too slow. Do you need me to have my Immortal Ship send you back?" the black-robed cultivator said with a smile, looking at Xu Fan as if he were a rare treasure.
"No need, I won't trouble senior's Immortal Ship," Xu Fan said politely.
Even if he were a fool, he wouldn't casually reveal the location of his world to a True Immortal.
"Then I'll wait here for you to come back, fellow."
There was a touch of reluctance in the black-robed cultivator's eyes. Although he hadn't known Xu Fan for long,
he understood that once these talismans were delivered to Xu Fan, his future may very well depend on Xu Fan.
According to the countless experiences summarized by seniors in the Chamber of Commerce, establishing connections with a few demonically talented geniuses like Xu Fan could make the path of future promotion incredibly smooth.
A crystal-clear Spirit Pearl appeared in the black-robed cultivator's hand.
"This is a communication Spirit Pearl from the Wood Origin Great Thousand Worlds. If you need anything after you Ascend to the Immortal World, feel free to contact me," the black-robed cultivator said.
"May I ask for senior's name?" Xu Fan asked.
"You can call me Hei Lin," the black-robed cultivator said with a smile.
Xu Fan nodded and left the magnificent hall, leading the somewhat dazed Ming Kong.
A Space Ring floated in front of Xu Fan.
"There are five thousand Immortal Jades in the ring. Consider it a deposit," Hei Lin's voice came.
Xu Fan nodded and left with the extremely envious Ming Kong.
Once again, they were on that bustling street, and Xu Fan and Ming Kong were strolling through one Chamber of Commerce shop after another.
"Great Master, it turns out you're a Grandmaster of talismans," Ming Kong exclaimed.
"I just have a bit better talent," Xu Fan laughed.
In the Feiyu Boundary, although talismans existed, they were considered heretical and had not been popularized.
"Great Master is too modest," Ming Kong said.
With great hardship, he had exchanged the accumulated essence of the Elders' Association for these past thousand years for just this much Immortal Jade.
Yet, simply by relying on the Great Dao he controlled, Xu Fan effortlessly accepted an order worth hundreds of thousands of Immortal Jades.
As the two of them arrived at the next Chamber of Commerce, Xu Fan suddenly looked at a broken puppet.
"Shopkeeper, how much for this puppet?" Xu Fan asked.
With his eyes, he could tell that this was clearly a puppet that surpassed the battle power of the Mahayana stage. A semi-exposed puppet core revealed part of the Immortal Spirit Array. Xu Fan guessed that this puppet would have had the battle power of a True Immortal at its peak.
Now is the time to pick up a bargain, Xu Fan thought.
A half-damaged puppet, even if its peak state had the battle power of a True Immortal, wouldn't sell for much Immortal Jade.
The shopkeeper just glanced at the puppet.
"Broken puppet with True Immortal battle power, 10,000 Immortal Jades," the shopkeeper said with a professional smile.
"..."
What happened to picking up a bargain, what happened to being cheap?
"Shopkeeper, selling this half-damaged puppet for 10,000 Immortal Jades is a bit excessive."
"I think 50 Immortal Jades would be more reasonable," Ming Kong said, stepping forward.
"This puppet is for sale on consignment, 10,000 Immortal Jades without bargaining. Buy or not."
"If you don't want it, you can check out the others. We also have Mahayana puppets in the shop. Buy eleven and get a Secret Method Battle Array for free, which is capable of fighting against the Invincible Venerable," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Elder Ming Kong, let's go," Xu Fan said, looking deeply at the half-damaged puppet.
"Great Master, do you want it? If so, we can pool our resources and should have enough for 10,000 Immortal Jades," Ming Kong said, looking at Xu Fan's eyes.
Hearing Ming Kong's words, a hint of happiness flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.
"No need," Xu Fan shook his head. He just wanted to study it, but if it required so many Immortal Jades, it wouldn't be necessary.
Elder Ming Kong nodded, following Xu Fan to another shop.
At this moment, the voices of the shopkeeper came from behind them.
"Fellow Daoists, the consigner has lowered the price, now it only requires 5000 Immortal Jades."
The shopkeeper's voice was very excited, as if he was finally having a big sale and wanted to sell his best product to the customers.
The two exchanged glances and telepathically continued to walk forward without looking back.
Seeing that the two were leaving, the shopkeeper began to panic.
"It has dropped again, the consigner only needs 2000 Immortal Jades, this is the result of my hard communication with him." The shopkeeper shouted loudly.
The nearby shopkeepers came out laughing, as if they were watching a good show.
The two did not look back and continued to walk forward.
The shopkeeper rushed over to stop them.
"Fellow Daoists, since you are willing to give a price!"
"I will communicate with them, I just feel that you two really like that puppet." The shopkeeper said sincerely.
Meanwhile, the shopkeepers who were enjoying the show revealed meaningful smiles.
Xu Fan looked back at the shopkeeper.
"I'll give you a price, one hundred Immortal Jades~" Xu Fan gave his mental price.
"Deal!" The shopkeeper said affirmatively.
The staff in the shop picked up the half-broken puppet and ran towards the two.
Well, it was overpriced.
Xu Fan could see from the shopkeeper's expression that he might not feel like he had lost, but the shopkeeper definitely made a profit.
Without dwelling on it too much, Xu Fan took out one hundred Immortal Jades and handed it to the shopkeeper, then took the half-broken puppet away.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome to visit again~" The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Xu Fan and Elder Ming Kong exchanged glances, shook their heads, and walked into a Spirit Pill shop.
The shopkeeper laughed and returned to his own shop, taking out another half-broken puppet and placing it in the original position.
"Shopkeeper, with your one-move-for-all-sizes trick, I really admire you." The staff complimented in front of the shopkeeper.
"What's the big deal? Next time someone comes to ask, you have to act along too. We've only caught three big fish so far, we have to work harder!" The shopkeeper said with a smug look on his face.
Inside the Spirit Pill shop, the shopkeeper grinned at the two and said, "Fellow Daoists, you were scammed by Old Liu."
"Is the true immortal's half-broken puppet fake?" Xu Fan felt that his eyesight couldn't be that bad.
"Of course not, you just bought that puppet at an inflated price~"
"Old Liu's Chamber of Commerce found a battlefield ruin in the Star Region, full of these broken puppets."
"They used to sell for 50 Immortal Jades each, but then someone came up with this trick, and they have a guaranteed sale for each one."
"From time to time, they also catch a big fish." The shopkeeper explained.
"One hundred Immortal Jades it is, not like it's a big loss anyway." Xu Fan said with a smile.
Buying and selling is all about skill, if you buy at a higher price, it just means you have poor eyesight. As long as the item is genuine, you can't blame others.
At this moment, the two heard the voice of the shopkeeper again.
"Fellow Daoist, the consigner has lowered the price, only 2000 Immortal Jades."
The tone was sincere, as if the customers would miss a great deal if they didn't buy it.
Xu Fan and Elder Ming Kong looked outside the shop.
They saw a simple-looking young man, proudly smiling as he walked back.
"This counts as half a big fish~" The shopkeeper said with a smile, a hint of envy in his voice.
