136: Section 136

He was about 1.78 meters tall, with a well-proportioned build, and was wearing ordinary sportswear.

There were a few strands of silver hair mixed into his jet-black hair.

His expression was kind, and his eyes were filled with affection for Qin Zhaoxue.

When Lin Yi saw the man's talent traits.

His expression couldn't help but change slightly.

The man before him was actually a 5-Star Martial Artist.

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised that a shopkeeper would have such a high level of cultivation.

"Lin Yi, let me introduce you!"

"His name is Kong Mingcheng. He is my father's close friend and also the owner of this shop!"

"Uncle Mingcheng, we came here today because we want to sell you some Materials. I wonder if you are buying?"

After Qin Zhaoxue introduced them with a smile.

Lin Yi hurriedly put down his teacup and stood up.

He politely greeted Kong Mingcheng.

"Materials? What kind of Materials?" Kong Mingcheng waved his hand with a smile.

He also sat down on a single sofa opposite them.

Qin Zhaoxue glanced at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi understood what she meant and quickly took out several Yao Beast cores from his Magical Artifact storage.

There were everything from Tier 3 and Tier 4, to 1-Star and 2-Star ones.

As for the quality, there were good ones and bad ones.

After all, in his Magical Artifact, he had at least several dozen of these Yao Beast cores, if not a hundred.

And he couldn't guarantee that every single Yao Beast core was of top quality.

Naturally, there were some of average quality mixed in.

However, Lin Yi didn't have any that were of too poor quality.

When he collected these Yao Beast cores, he had been very selective.

Kong Mingcheng took the Yao Beast cores and examined them carefully.

He nodded and said, "How many of these Yao Beast cores do you have?"

He looked up at Lin Yi and asked.

"A few dozen. The lowest are Tier 3, and the highest are 2-Star..." Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Kong Mingcheng nodded gently, "I don't know what's going on lately!"

"The Martial Artists coming to our black market are all buying Medicinal Pills, blood-replenishing soups, and medicines that can boost Qi and improve Physique everywhere!"

"There are also some Martial Artists buying large quantities of monster meat and the like..."

"Not long ago, Xinghai City had many Yao Beast invasions, which caused these Materials to reach a state of saturation. Only a few days have passed, and now they are being sought after in large quantities again!"

"Now that the Yao Beasts have hidden away, the Demon Hunters in the city are like they've lost their jobs!"

"Materials like these are in short supply everywhere. The fact that you could bring so many monster Materials at this time is really a huge help to me!"

"Since you were introduced by Xiaoxue, and you are Xiaoxue's friend!"

"I will take all of your Yao Beast cores!"

"As for the price, how about 30% higher than the market price?"

Kong Mingcheng looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

"Boss Kong, there's no need to specially raise the price for me. Just pay the regular price!"

"If I have more of these monster Materials in the future, I might be able to continue working with Boss Kong!"

Lin Yi replied with a light laugh.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that you, young as you are, already understand the value of long-term cooperation!"

"However, the price I'm giving you isn't entirely because of Xiaoxue's Face. As I just said, these monster Materials are in short supply in the market right now, and the price is getting higher day by day!"

"If I give you 30% more today, maybe tomorrow it will be 50% higher!"

"Rest assured, I am a businessman. How could I do business at a loss?"

Once these words were spoken, Qin Zhaoxue hurriedly blinked at Lin Yi a few times.

She also followed up with a smile, "That's right, Lin Yi. You don't know Uncle Mingcheng. He's a real businessman who never does business at a loss. Just take whatever money he gives you!"

After she finished speaking, Qin Zhaoxue blinked at Lin Yi a few more times.

Lin Yi then nodded, "Alright, then thank you, Boss Kong!"

Next, he took out all his stock from his Magical Artifact storage one by one.

After counting, there were eighty-seven in total.

There were thirty-three Tier 3 Yao Beast cores.

There were twenty-eight Tier 4 Yao Beast cores, eighteen 1-Star ones, and the remaining eight were all 2-Star ones.

Lin Yi also discovered that the higher the cultivation level of the Yao Beast core.

The quality was basically not too bad.

Especially those eight 2-Star Yao Beast cores, each one could be considered High Grade.

After taking a look, Kong Mingcheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, these are all high-quality Materials!"

"Young friend Lin, how do you intend to transact? Should I transfer it directly to your account? Or..."

"Give me cash!"

Lin Yi replied with a smile.

For Lin Yi, holding cash was safer.

Kong Mingcheng nodded with a smile, "Alright, then I'll give you cash!"

"The total price for these Yao Beast cores is 1.32 million. If you want to settle in cash, it might take some time!"

After Kong Mingcheng finished speaking.

Lin Yi was astonished.

Eighty-something Yao Beast cores were actually worth 1.32 million?

This price had far exceeded his expectations.

After all, these Yao Beast cores were not all 1-Star or 2-Star; most were Tier 3 and Tier 4 Yao Beast cores.

The level of cultivation determined the price of the Yao Beast core.

Even if one could fetch 10,000 yuan, that would at most be worth 870,000.

Yet Kong Mingcheng actually offered 1.32 million...

"Xiaoxue, you two sit for a moment. I'll go prepare the cash for young friend Lin. Later, I want to have a good chat with you. It's been a few years since we've met since you went to the New District!"

Kong Mingcheng said to Qin Zhaoxue with a smile again.

After he finished speaking, Qin Zhaoxue hurriedly nodded, "Okay, Uncle Mingcheng, I'll wait for you!"

After saying this, Kong Mingcheng took his assistant and the Yao Beast cores and walked back to the back room.

Only at this moment did Lin Yi smile.

"Sister Xue, the price for these Yao Beast cores... was it because of your Face that he gave so much?"

Qin Zhaoxue was stunned, shook her head, and said, "No way, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Didn't I just say? Uncle Mingcheng is a shrewd businessman. He won't do business at a loss. Let alone me, even if my father came personally, he wouldn't give up such a large profit!"

"It's mainly because the market right now is too lacking in Yao Beast Materials!"

"I don't know what's going on. All those people who Cultivate the Dao are running over to buy large quantities of Medicinal Pills to boost their Qi and blood... That's what caused the price of Yao Beast Materials to skyrocket!"

Qin Zhaoxue said somewhat strangely.

Lin Yi had some guesses.

Tonight, when the captains of the three teams held a small meeting at the Martial Arts Police Station.

Qin Zhaoxue did not participate, so perhaps she didn't know about the Blood Drop plan.

As for why those Martial Artists were so unusual.

Perhaps it was because those Martial Artists already had a premonition.

A disaster was about to erupt in the Old District.

Regardless of where this disaster came from or how large the scale would be.

Improving one's own cultivation level was always the right thing to do.

Therefore, the current situation of frantically snapping up Medicinal Pills and blood-replenishing soups had emerged.

Just while they were talking, Kong Mingcheng walked over carrying a luggage bag.

After arriving close by, he pulled the zipper, and inside was a pile of cash.

"Young friend Lin, there is 1.32 million in total here. You can count it!"

Lin Yi glanced at the cash in the bag and shook his head with a smile, "I trust Boss Kong, so there's no need to count!"

He then zipped it up and put it into his Magical Artifact storage.

Next, Kong Mingcheng said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, it's rare to see you. Tell me, how is your father doing now?"

"After going to the New District, is he adapting to life there?"
