“Senior, you must be joking, I wouldn’t dare to lie in front of you.” After saying this, Yang Chen immediately took out the storage bag: “Senior, please take a look, all the spirit stones are in there!”
Putting other things aside, although Elder Han didn’t really believe he could come up with that many spirit stones, at least the young man’s words were not offensive. Unlike Shopkeeper Luo, who not only looked down on people with his dog eyes but also spoke with abusive language.
As the saying goes, a leopard can’t change its spots. Seeing Yang Chen take out the storage bag, Luo Shopkeeper didn’t forget to yell: “You little brat, still daring to lie even when facing death! Elder Han, this punk doesn’t know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is. He needs a lesson. Does he think 20 million spirit stones are just garbage on the ground?”
Elder Han didn’t reply at first, but when he took the storage bag and carefully looked inside, he was startled and immediately shouted: “Shut your mouth!”
“Elder Han, what’s going on?” Luo Shopkeeper hadn’t caught on yet.
Elder Han spread the storage bag open and said, “Hmph, 20 million, not a single one missing. Shopkeeper Luo, this is what you call no spirit stones? This is what you say our young friend can’t come up with?”
Luo Shopkeeper couldn’t believe it for a while, but when he took a closer look at the storage bag, he found that it clearly contained 20 million spirit stones, not a single one missing. He couldn’t figure it out and looked at Yang Chen, shouting, “That’s not right, Elder Han, listen to me explain, just yesterday, I saw him unable to come up with spirit stones.”
Yang Chen slowly said, “Senior, indeed, I couldn’t come up with that many spirit stones yesterday because I didn’t expect the price of these materials. I think it’s very normal. Before the materials were purchased, no one could confirm their price, so I went home to ask my family. But who would have thought that this Luo Shopkeeper would look down on me so much? When I came for the second time, he tried to shut me out.”
At Yang Chen’s words, Luo Shopkeeper panicked.
“Luo Shopkeeper, is this true?” Elder Han asked in a low voice.
Luo Shopkeeper wanted to deny it, but what Yang Chen had said was true. How could he refute it? In his heart, he wanted to use sophistry, but it required time to come up with one.
Elder Han was a shrewd man, and seeing Elder Luo hesitate, he bellowed, “Very well, Luo Shopkeeper, I chose you to be the shopkeeper because you have a clear sense of right and wrong. But instead, you look down on people with such dog eyes. It seems your time as shopkeeper is up.”
“Elder Han, listen to my explanation, please listen to my explanation!” Luo Shopkeeper was completely panicked.
Those who went home to get spirit stones were usually wealthy young masters and ladies, and he had seen them all. Where did Yang Chen come from?
He never expected that a moment of fun would get him in such big trouble.
Elder Han snorted coldly, “You can take off your shopkeeper’s badge tomorrow, and I will have someone else replace you. Alright, I don’t have time to talk about you right now. Young friend, may I know your name?”
“My surname is Yang, Yang Chen.” Yang Chen said.
“Yang Chen?” Elder Han couldn’t help but be surprised, not knowing where this family had come from.
However, with the ability to take out 20 million spirit stones, such a large amount, Elder Han did not underestimate it. He thought it might be due to the recent banquet held by the Black Dragon Sect, attended by the main city forces.
This made his expression serious, and he ordered his subordinates to fetch the materials. In about a cup of tea’s time, the materials were almost ready, and Elder Han said, “Friend Yang Chen, please check if the materials are complete.”
“Senior, the materials are all there, but what about this extra part…” Yang Chen was puzzled.
Elder Han slowly said, “Friend Yang Chen, our Candlefire Commerce Association deals fairly and justly. You were looked down upon in our association, and this is our compensation to you. I hope that the next time you need materials, you can still come to our association.”
No one would turn down money.
If Yang Chen had no capital, then Elder Han wouldn’t be so polite to Yang Chen, let alone apologize for the mistake made by Shopkeeper Luo.
However, this Yang Chen was obviously a gold master. With 20 million spirit stones, Elder Han was naturally polite to him.
This made Yang Chen feel a bit better about the Candlefire Commerce Association and said, “With Senior’s magnanimity, if I need materials in the future, I will definitely come to the Candlefire Commerce Association first.”
“That’s great. Young friend, take care!” Elder Han sent him off graciously.
After leaving the Candlefire Commerce Association and obtaining the necessary materials, Yang Chen was satisfied. These materials were all for his body cultivation, and the level of Tai Chu Divine Body he could reach was greatly dependent on these precious materials.
However, there was no hurry now. After leaving the commerce association, Yang Chen went to the gathering place agreed upon with the top geniuses of Beishan Main City.
When he arrived, many disciples had already returned. Seeing Yang Chen, they greeted him politely: “Junior Brother Yang Chen!”
“Yang Chen!”
Yang Chen also responded with courtesy.
As time went by, the agreed-upon deadline soon arrived. Most of the disciples from Beishan Main City had returned.
But as Yang Chen looked around, he quickly noticed that four or five disciples hadn’t come back, and his expression changed as he said, “Brother Cao, Senior Brother Shao Ming and a few disciples seem to be missing.”
“Yes, these disciples went with Shao Ming. Why haven’t they returned yet?” Cao Jinshuo couldn’t help but wonder.
They had thought there was nothing to worry about and waited for a while.
But after waiting for about two hours, there was still no sign of Shao Ming and the others.
“This is strange. Shao Ming has always been punctual. How could he be so slow? By rights, they should be back after a round.” Cao Jinshuo was baffled.
Yang Chen was also puzzled in his heart.
Just as they were deep in thought, suddenly, a disheveled disciple ran back with dust all over his face and a tattered body. Stumbling, he shouted, “Something terrible has happened, Senior Brother Cao, Junior Brother Yang Chen, something terrible!”
“What’s wrong?” Cao Jinshuo frowned deeply. As one of the Origin Martial Realm disciples of Beishan Main City, it was his responsibility to take charge in the absence of the elders.
The disciple said nervously, “Senior Brother Shao Ming ran into trouble while shopping in the main city. He met the geniuses from Huangsha City and Sun Star City!”
“How did you guys come into conflict with them?” Cao Jinshuo paled.
After the last conflict with Zhang Youcai, he realized his shortcomings and the gap between Beishan Main City and other forces. Hearing about Huangsha City and Sun Star City, Cao Jinshuo’s expression changed drastically.
“Those geniuses from the two forces provoked us as soon as they saw our Beishan Main City geniuses. We don’t know why, but who can stand such provocation? Senior Brother Shao Ming couldn’t take it anymore and took action.” The disciple reporting the news gritted his teeth.
