272: Chapter 272 Don't rob, everyone has one
But just as they were preparing for the next transaction...
The main door opened.
A middle-aged man strode inside.
When Vice President Qin Zhu and the others saw this person appear, their expressions darkened slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.
"Vice President Qin, such a distinguished guest has come to our Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, why didn't you inform me?"
Pei Junyi said to Vice President Qin Zhu with a smile on his face.
"Vice President Pei is so busy, I didn't want to disturb you."
Vice President Qin Zhu also responded with a smile.
"I am the Vice President of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, Pei Junyi. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Pei Junyi looked at the Spirit Avatar and greeted him.
"Yan Chen."
The Spirit Avatar also gave a slight nod.
"So it is Fellow Daoist Yan."
Pei Junyi said with an enthusiastic look.
However, the Spirit Avatar directly ignored Pei Junyi's enthusiasm, and his gaze returned to Vice President Qin Zhu.
A jade bottle appeared in his hand.
"Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, top grade."
The Spirit Avatar said.
Vice President Qin Zhu's eyes were fixed intently on this Medicinal Pill.
A top grade Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.
This time, it was Pei Junyi's turn for his expression to darken.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Vice President Qin Zhu said hurriedly.
With a top grade Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, there was finally a way to excise the Evil Qi from the Young Chamber Master's body.
But now, this pill might not be so easy to take.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I am also very interested in this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill. Could you sell it to me? I will buy it at double the price."
Pei Junyi said at this moment.
He could not let Vice President Qin Zhu obtain this top grade Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.
Once the Evil Qi was broken...
...then all their preparations would have been in vain.
Therefore, there could not be a single mistake in this matter.
"Pei Junyi, what do you mean?"
Vice President Qin Zhu questioned Pei Junyi at this moment.
The worst-case scenario he had anticipated had happened after all.
"It's nothing, it's just that my Pei family also has a junior who has been corroded by Evil Qi. As an elder, I must naturally look out for the younger generation of my family."
Pei Junyi said.
Nonsense!
Vice President Qin Zhu did not believe for a second that any Pei family Disciple had been corroded by Evil Qi.
This was entirely an excuse to prevent them from getting the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, can you sell this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill to me?"
Pei Junyi looked at the Spirit Avatar and asked again.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I am willing to pay triple the price."
Vice President Qin Zhu said.
He could not possibly give up this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill either.
This concerned the Young Chamber Master and the future of their Yunhai Chamber of Commerce; he could not make a concession here.
"Quadruple."
Pei Junyi said.
Both sides were determined to secure this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.
"Since you both want this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, then have one each."
Another jade bottle appeared in the Spirit Avatar's hand.
The bottle still contained a Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, and it was still a top grade Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.
Lin Ming had refined more than one Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill. Since they both wanted it, he would bring out the other one.
"Could you also sell the second Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill to me? My junior's Evil Qi invasion is quite severe, one Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill might not be enough."
Pei Junyi said in a heavy voice.
A second Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill, and it was still top grade.
On second thought, it wasn't that surprising. After all, the Alchemist behind this person was someone capable of refining Rank Eight top grade Medicinal Pills.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, we had an agreement beforehand."
Vice President Qin Zhu also spoke up.
"Correct, we did indeed have an agreement."
The Spirit Avatar nodded.
He was a man who kept his word.
With a wave of his hand, one of the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pills was sent into Vice President Qin Zhu's hands.
A look of joy appeared on Vice President Qin Zhu's face, and he immediately stowed the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill away.
The other Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill was sent before Pei Junyi.
"Fellow Daoist Pei, take it."
The Spirit Avatar said.
"Thank you."
Pei Junyi could only grit his teeth and accept it.
What use was this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill to him?
His primary purpose in taking the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill was to prevent Vice President Qin Zhu from getting it.
But now that Vice President Qin Zhu had obtained one, what was the use of him having this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill?
He couldn't exactly strike out to snatch the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill from Vice President Qin Zhu's hands.
Leaving aside whether he could succeed...
...if the two of them fought, he might not necessarily be Vice President Qin Zhu's match.
"Gentlemen, please pay. There's no need for triple or quadruple, double will suffice."
The Spirit Avatar said with a smile.
Seeing this, Vice President Qin Zhu very readily handed over the essence stones to the Spirit Avatar.
Pei Junyi was somewhat reluctant in his heart, but he could only take out essence stones and give them to the Spirit Avatar.
He didn't dare offend the Spirit Avatar either; this person had a Rank Eight Alchemist and a Rank Eight Artifact Refiner behind him.
Furthermore, they had still not managed to uncover the Spirit Avatar's background.
It was a complete blank.
Their intelligence on the Spirit Avatar was a total void; they didn't even know when he entered the city or where he lived.
To them, the Spirit Avatar's existence was like a ghost, which showed how formidable he was.
What other forces might be behind this person was also unknown.
Moreover, a Rank Eight Alchemist and a Rank Eight Artifact Refiner alone were not people they could afford to offend.
If those two behind him wanted their lives...
...just a single word...
...with just a single word, many people would likely take action against them.
The Pei family behind him, and even the great lord behind the Pei family, might very well hand him over and push all the responsibility onto his head.
This made Pei Junyi very clear that he could not offend this man.
"A pleasure doing business. Then, until we meet again if fate allows."
The transaction complete,
The Spirit Avatar stood up and left.
He was just a businessman and didn't want to get involved in tedious disputes.
If they wanted to fight, they could fight among themselves.
"Fellow Daoist, let me see you out."
Vice President Qin Zhu stood up.
"No need, you are too conspicuous."
The Spirit Avatar had already walked out of the room.
Hearing this, Vice President Qin Zhu understood what the Spirit Avatar meant and stopped in his tracks.
This Fellow Daoist did not want to be associated with anyone.
Thinking about it, aside from appearing at the two chambers of commerce, this Fellow Daoist had not appeared anywhere else.
It was clear that he didn't want to get involved with anyone.
Seeing this, Pei Junyi gave up on the idea of trying to make him stay. He understood that even if he spoke up, he wouldn't be able to keep the Spirit Avatar.
Although their Pei family was a local hegemon in Tianyun City, compared to other top-tier forces, they were still far behind.
They didn't have the capital to keep this person.
"Vice President Pei, I hope that Pei family Disciple recovers soon."
Vice President Qin Zhu looked at Pei Junyi and said with a friendly smile.
"Hmph..."
In response, Pei Junyi gave a cold snort, stood up, and left.
After seeing Pei Junyi leave, Vice President Qin Zhu also walked out quickly.
The Young Chamber Master must consume this Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
