This young servant now realized that he had truly underestimated Yang Chen this time. How old was Yang Chen? He looked around sixteen years old. To enter the Spirit Martial Realm at such an age would already make one a genius.
But Yang Chen? The eighth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. This level of martial arts cultivation was already enough to become a local tyrant. The mountain thieves who bullied and tyrannized men and women in the outside world, were they not also at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Martial Realm?
Indeed, the eighth level of the Spirit Martial Realm might not mean much.
But the key was his age.
At once, the young servant hurriedly went to find Elder Qin. When Elder Qin heard that a genius had entered the Chamber of Commerce, he did not dare to neglect it. He scolded the young servant for his lack of vision and hurried out with a smile to greet him.
But when he saw Yang Chen, Elder Qin was stunned.
It took him a while to speak: “I had guessed that it was you, friend Yang Chen. Other than you, who else could have such martial arts cultivation at the age of just sixteen? It seems that you have entered the Trial Tower and made further progress in your martial arts cultivation. Your achievement of the eighth stage of the Spirit Martial Realm at such a young age is truly astonishing to countless people.”
Yang Chen replied amicably, “Elder Qin, you’re flattering me too much. Now, I’ve come to find Elder Qin today to discuss some business. I wonder if Elder Qin…”
“I would be more than happy to, young friend Yang Chen. Please have a seat!” Elder Qin secretly shot a glare at the young servant, still feeling furious that he had almost driven away such a distinguished guest. He couldn’t calm down.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly made an inviting gesture.
Meanwhile, the young servant stood in place, not quite recovered from the shock.
“He’s Yang Chen?” The young servant widened his eyes.
This.
Was there anyone in the city who didn’t know Yang Chen now?
Yang Chen was truly well-known to everyone.
Why?
It was all because of the Genius Selection Competition!
He performed excellently in the Genius Selection Competition and won the championship, defeating countless other geniuses. Who doesn’t know Yang Chen’s great name now, who doesn’t know the champion of the Genius Selection Competition is Yang Chen?
He had actually barred the champion of the Genius Selection Competition outside and even mocked him for not being qualified to be seen by Elder Qin?
The young servant felt a bone-chilling cold in his heart. He had clearly had an opportunity to get to know a genius well, but he had let it slip by.
At this moment, Elder Qin and Yang Chen came to the backyard and sat down facing each other.
Elder Qin took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Yang Chen. His attitude towards Yang Chen was much more respectful now. He was very clear about Yang Chen’s current strength. What was his own level? He was only at the first layer of the Origin Martial Realm, with no great prospects for the future.
But what about Yang Chen?
He won the championship of the Genius Selection Competition.
Elder Qin didn’t know what kind of future Yang Chen would have, but he knew that the worst-class champions of previous Genius Selection Competitions achieved at least the eighth layer of the Origin Martial Realm in the end.
Even with a worse outlook, it was still much better than his own situation, so Elder Qin had no reason to be rude.
Now, he kindly said, “My friend Yang Chen, I’ve been waiting for you to come to our Chamber of Commerce every day. What kind of elixir did you say you wanted to sell me?”
Yang Chen gestured with his hand.
He had promised the Sect Leader of the Huangshan Sect that he would not break the current alchemy landscape in North Mountain County, so even if he sold the elixir to Elder Qin, it would be in small quantities, and he wouldn’t sell it in large batches. Unless he was really in need of spirit stones.
With that in mind, Yang Chen said, “I’m here this time not to sell, but to buy.”
“Oh? To buy? Haha, young friend Yang Chen, you’ve come to the right place this time. Although our Chamber of Commerce may not be the most complete, it’s still quite comprehensive. Moreover, given the relationship between you and me, I’ll naturally give you some concessions on the price. However, my friend Yang Chen, you must make it worthwhile for me.” Elder Qin said with a cough. Although he was slightly disappointed that Yang Chen didn’t come to sell elixirs, it was still quite profitable for him to have Yang Chen buy from him.
Yang Chen understood Elder Qin’s meaning. He could give a discount, but the goods he bought had to be enough to make it worthwhile for him.
Merchants only did business when there were profits to be made, which was quite normal, and Yang Chen could understand.
That was also the reason why he came here.
Yang Chen slowly said, “Don’t worry, I guarantee I won’t let Elder Qin suffer a loss. Take a look at this jade slip, the materials I’m requesting are all listed.”
“Golden sand, purple redwood…” Elder Qin looked at the materials, still puzzled as to what Yang Chen intended to do. It wasn’t until he saw ‘crane’s beak brush’ that he said, “Friend Yang Chen, do you need this crane’s beak brush to draw spirit talismans?”
“Yes, I’ve recently taken an interest in spirit talismans and plan to buy a brush to give it a try.” Yang Chen replied calmly.
He naturally wouldn’t reveal anything about the extensive implications of the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts. Not only to Elder Qin but also to the Yuanshan Sect as well.
Elder Qin didn’t notice anything and just thought that Yang Chen hadn’t outgrown the playful stage and wanted to try the Dao of Talismans while cultivating martial arts. He said, “The materials on this list are indeed valuable, but regardless of quantity or available stock, I can assure you, young friend Yang Chen, that I can gather them for you. However, the only problem is the Void Spirit Flower that you are requesting.”
“Oh? Is there any issue with this Void Spirit Flower?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask.
Elder Qin bitterly smiled, “The Void Spirit Flower is rare indeed. I only have two of them, which is just enough to meet your requirements. However, I intended to auction off this Void Spirit Flower. Oh well, since my friend Yang Chen has requested it, how can I refuse?”
“We can negotiate the price,” Yang Chen said gently, “Elder Qin, you can just check the list and quote a price. I, Yang Chen, can afford it.”
Elder Qin did not doubt Yang Chen’s wealth. He glanced at the list and stroked his chin, “You and I can be considered close acquaintances. My friend Yang Chen, I can’t take advantage of you. In theory, the materials on this list are worth at least slightly more than one million. However, since you, my friend Yang Chen, came to me, you must value our relationship. One million. How does that price sound to you, my friend Yang Chen?”
Yang Chen nodded. Indeed, Elder Qin did not cheat him. The materials he wanted were somewhat more valuable, and one million was not too bad.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen casually tossed a bag of spirit stones, “One million spirit stones, Elder Qin, please count them.”
Elder Qin watched Yang Chen’s generosity and roughly checked the number of spirit stones in the storage bag. He couldn’t help but say, “Young friend Yang Chen is really straightforward!”
