561: Strange Events

Wang Yan walked over.

He deliberately pretended not to know Wang Gou.

He lingered in front of the old man's stall for a long time.

Then, he deliberately asked casually, "Are these things for sale?"

"Yes."

"Can you make it cheaper?"

"I'll give you both undying divine medicines."

The old man had already missed one customer.

Facing the newly arrived Wang Yan, his expectation threshold had significantly lowered.

Furthermore, he no longer had any thoughts of bargaining with the other party.

He just wanted to sell them as quickly as possible.

Although two undying divine medicines were still a bargain price,

it was much better than just one.

Moreover, he didn't know when he would encounter another customer next time.

Wang Yan was very straightforward.

He took out two undying divine medicines from his storage medium and handed them to the other party.

Just as Wang Yan was about to collect all the items,

a deep voice suddenly came from the side.

"Wait, I'll give you five undying divine medicines. I want everything on this stall."

The newcomer was a black-robed Cultivator.

He was tall, with a pale face.

He looked like a ghost Cultivator, with lifeless eyes.

From a distance, he resembled a tall zombie, walking in The Mortal World.

Wang Yan and Wang Gou both turned their heads to look upon hearing the voice.

Then, both of them frowned.

They had thought they could get what they wanted.

Who knew someone would suddenly interfere at this moment?

They felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

However, what the two of them didn't know was that this person was a Cultivator from the Ghost Gate Sect.

This person had received orders from the Sect's Saint to come and test the strength of the Wang family's Disciples.

After all, the Grand Competition was approaching soon.

Under a Saint's name, there are no false claims.

Recently, the strength of the Wang family's Disciples had indeed been considerable.

And these two people were the Breakthrough point he had chosen to test their strength.

"Five?"

The old man was instantly tempted.

However, based on basic professional ethics, he still couldn't help but say with a smile, "I have already given the items to them. The deposit has been paid, and the transaction is complete."

"If Fellow Daoist wants them, you can buy them from him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Peng, the Cultivator from the Ghost Gate Sect, his expression turned cold.

"You simply want to raise the price. In that case, what price do you think is enough? Six, seven? Or eight?"

Chen Peng snorted coldly.

Then he quickly walked over.

"I'll give you nine undying divine medicines."

"Believe me, this price is not low."

The old man's breathing quickened.

His Lifespan was already limited.

Initially, he only wanted a few undying divine medicines to extend his Lifespan, allowing himself time to properly admire the beautiful scenery of the world.

So as not to waste his trip to The Mortal World.

But if he had so many undying divine medicines,

it would definitely be excellent news for him.

He might even be able to re-embark on the Dao path.

And attempt to Breakthrough to the Supreme Realm.

After all, each undying divine medicine could bring him nearly several hundred years of Lifespan.

Nine in a row, although the effect would definitely be greatly reduced,

living for several thousand years would not be a problem.

Even if he still couldn't Breakthrough to the Supreme Realm, that much time would be enough for him to squander.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that among the things he sold, the most valuable was a ten-thousand-year divine bamboo.

This item was the highest priced among all his collectibles.

He had originally intended to keep it to refine a sword array.

But he had never found a suitable opportunity.

And, there were some missing Materials.

That's why it had remained until now.

And now, if he missed this opportunity again,

he wouldn't be confident in acquiring more undying divine medicines.

No one could refuse the temptation within reach.

Thinking of this, the old man no longer hesitated.

"In that case, it makes sense, Fellow Daoist, here are these two divine medicines for you."

Wang Yan's brows instantly furrowed.

"Fellow Daoist, I can also understand your feelings. It's very simple not to be swayed by human desires."

"But since our transaction has already been completed..."

The old man looked somewhat troubled.

"The other party offered too much. Sometimes, moral bottom lines can be flexibly adjusted, right? If you are also willing to pay such a high price, I would naturally still be willing to sell them to you."

Wang Yan nodded upon hearing this.

He didn't continue to make things difficult for the other party.

It was only natural for an old man to want to earn a higher profit.

He turned and saw the Cultivator who had appeared beside him.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem.

Fighting was not forbidden in the Imperial Capital of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Of course, the premise was that it couldn't affect other people.

Wang Yan was confident he could subdue the other party quickly without affecting anyone.

Of course, in their first encounter, he couldn't fully gauge the other party's strength.

The above thoughts were his personal conclusions based on past experience.

"Why are you looking at me? Do you think I'll sell them to you?"

Chen Peng sneered, completely disregarding the young man in front of him.

However, in reality, his right eye constantly scanned Wang Yan, extremely wary.

He was afraid that this young man would suddenly erupt.

Under a great reputation, there are no false claims; he wasn't necessarily here to seek a beating.

He only needed to ascertain Wang Yan's strength.

As for Wang Gou on the side... almost no one had ever seen him make a move.

He naturally also wanted an opportunity to investigate him.

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke.

"You yourselves have no morals, yet you blame the stall owner."

"Don't think I don't know, you two are in cahoots. The first person deliberately lowers the price, creating the impression that the stall owner's items are worthless, and the second person then buys them at half the price."

"Thus creating psychological pressure on the stall owner, allowing you to acquire the items with a mere two undying divine medicines."

"What a malicious tactic. You should know that for these items, even nine undying divine medicines would be a bargain for me."

Chen Peng looked serious.

The old man was greatly astonished upon hearing this.

He couldn't help but take two steps back and glanced at Wang Yan and Wang Gou.

"You two know each other?"

He found it somewhat hard to believe.

Finally, his expression turned to anger.

"Why did you plot against me like this? My Lifespan is already limited, and I won't live much longer in The Mortal World. I only wish to extend my Lifespan, and then die without regrets, that's all."

"But now, under the sun, such malicious human hearts exist. You treat a frail old man like me in this manner, do you have any conscience?"

Wang Yan immediately looked a bit embarrassed.

Wang Gou remained expressionless.

He exchanged a glance with Wang Yan.

The next moment, Wang Yan directly attacked.

With a rumble,

he directly pressed Chen Peng to the ground. Chen Peng's expression was horrified; he knew the other party might be very strong.

But he hadn't expected him to be this strong.

He was defeated in just one exchange, and judging by the other party's expression, he seemed to have more strength to spare.
