489: Meeting Zhang Meier again

Ji Wuchang looked at the old man with a faint, knowing smile, then squatted down to examine the items the old man had mentioned.

A round, pitch-black bead, a chipped large bowl, a small sword with a section broken off, and a black lid!

The four items were each more bizarre than the last, but they shared one common characteristic: they were black!

Ji Wuchang swept his Divine Soul over them but sensed nothing at all.

Just as he was about to give up, the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils at his chest suddenly began to buzz and vibrate.

Just ten days ago, Ji Wuchang had found the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils too bulky, so it had automatically transformed into the size of a pendant.

Ji Wuchang was delighted and had been keeping the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils in his robes ever since.

The reason he didn't put it in a Storage Ring or the System space was that doing so would cut off the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils from absorbing the baleful Qi in the air!

Now that the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils was vibrating, it meant that among these four pieces of junk, there might be a massive amount of baleful Qi contained within!

"How much for these?"

Ji Wuchang stood up and asked casually, his face showing a completely indifferent expression.

Gan Yue and the others glanced at the four items, their eyes filled with disdain.

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, the old man's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones each!"

"If you want all four, I can give you a proper discount and just take thirty-five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Xie Zhen, Bu Yixian, and the third person all shook their heads upon hearing the old man's price.

This kind of junk might not even be worth a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, yet he wanted thirty-five thousand.

Truly, just because Wuchang hasn't shown his temper, you really think you're the King of Hell.

Ji Wuchang looked at the old man playfully, then smiled and said, "Old man, do you think we're that easy to fool?"

"How about this, I'll give you a price. If you can sell it, then sell it; if not, forget it."

"For that pair of hammers along with these four pieces of junk, I'll give you twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"What do you think? If it doesn't work for you, then never mind!"

Ji Wuchang knew that it was hard to name a price for those four items; if he offered too little, the old man certainly wouldn't sell.

That pair of hammers was worth twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones at most. By offering this price, the other party should be able to agree!

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, the old man began to ponder, not even minding that Ji Wuchang had called the items junk!

Gan Yue and the others were slightly stunned, then fell into thought.

They didn't believe Ji Wuchang was interested in that pair of hammers; that kind of thing was useless.

As their cultivation base increased, even using them for self-detonation to stall an enemy wouldn't be very effective!

After all, if they were pushed to that point, it meant the opponent's strength was far superior.

Since it wasn't the stone hammers, it had to be those four junk-like items.

The group didn't look at the four items; they knew very well that if they did, the old man would surely notice.

"Young friend, how about adding a little more? Twenty-five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, what do you say?"

The old man spoke with a smile; he had actually already decided to sell.

The moment Ji Wuchang heard the old man's words, he didn't hesitate for a second, turning around to leave.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly called out, "Young friend, come back! I'll sell!"

Ji Wuchang wasn't surprised at all. After turning back, he directly threw out twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and reached out to take the items.

Once the items were in hand, he put the pair of hammers directly into the System space.

As for the remaining four items, he placed them all in his robes.

As soon as the four items were placed in his robes, a terrifying suction force immediately emanated from the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils, and at the same time, a joyful sound rang out from within the seal!

Ji Wuchang didn't pay it any mind. As long as it was useful to the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Evils, he felt that twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones were nothing.

This matter was nothing more than a small interlude for the four of them.

However, it also made the four of them realize that selling things here involved sky-high asking prices; whether or not you'd be swindled depended on your own ability.

Afterward, the group lingered at a few more stalls for a while. Gan Yue and the others bought a few small items before finally crossing the plaza.

At this moment, the group stood at the entrance of Tianbao Street.

This place was completely different from the plaza; it was filled with formal shops, one after another!

Ji Wuchang looked up at the names of these shops and instantly saw the pattern.

"Wang's Pavilion of Many Treasures, Zhang's Treasure Seeking Pavilion, Li's Treasure Pavilion..."

The names of the shops were more or less the same, but the focus was on the surname at the beginning. This indicated that these shops were opened by the prominent cultivation families of Yingtian Prefecture!

The cultivation families here were actually the government officials of the Heavenly Star Dynasty.

They occupied the majority of the resources in the entire Heavenly Star Dynasty, allowing their families to flourish for generations!

"Come on, let's go have a look. Who knows, there might really be some good things!"

Gan Yue's eyes lit up as she looked at these shops.

The group nodded in unison and entered Tianbao Street.

The first shop they entered was Li's Treasure Pavilion. The reason they chose this place was that at a glance, it was the largest and had the most items!

As soon as they entered, several women came forward to greet them; they were likely the shop's attendants.

"Welcome to our Li's Treasure Pavilion, distinguished guests! Looking at your attire, you must be the Prodigies here for the Thousand Cities Great War!"

"The first floor of our Treasure Pavilion is for ordinary cultivators; the items here are suitable for those in the Purple Mansion Realm and below."

"I suggest you distinguished guests go to the second floor; there might be something you like there!"

An attendant spoke with a smile. In just two sentences, she had given a general introduction to the place, showing she was well-trained!

Ji Wuchang and the others exchanged glances and nodded together, following an attendant to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Ji Wuchang frowned; he hadn't expected to see several familiar faces.

These people were Zhang Meier, Han Guang, Zuo Shangfei, Lan Longwang, and others.

Beside Zhang Meier, there was also a man who was smiling and talking to her, his gaze looking at her in a clearly different way.

As soon as Ji Wuchang's group appeared, they were immediately noticed by Zhang Meier and the others, who also looked toward Ji Wuchang.

In the eyes of Han Guang, Zuo Shangfei, and Lan Longwang, there was a faint trace of fear.

Back then, Ji Wuchang had killed Wei Feiluan in a single move, completely intimidating them.

Although half a month had passed, that incident had remained etched in their hearts.

"Meier, what's wrong? Are those people your friends?"

The man talking to Zhang Meier sensed the strange atmosphere and looked toward Ji Wuchang and the others, asking with a smile.

This man's identity was not simple; he was from the Zuo Family of the Heavenly Star Dynasty, meaning he was a relative of the Queen's Family.

This person was named Zuo Yaohai, and his cultivation base was at the third level of the Dao Severing Realm!

The Zuo Family was also a first-rate Family in the Heavenly Star Dynasty.

The Zhang Family and the Zuo Family had a good relationship; Zhang Meier's grandmother was from the Zuo Family!
