Interesting little brother
In the first few years after Transmigration to this world, Zhong Qing, besides his cultivation not increasing, signed for a large number of miscellaneous items.
The items obtained through the System's sign-ins were extremely numerous.
Many of them were items of extraordinary value.
The cultivation world does not use money for transactions.
Spirit Stones, resources, rare mineral veins—anything of value could be used as a trade item.
Zhong Qing naturally saw that the other party doubted whether he had the ability to pay for the Spirit Medicine.
He did not explain.
He simply pulled out a long sword.
"Can this sword be exchanged for those Spirit Medicine?"
The moment the long sword came out of Soul Emergence, the red-robed woman's eyes narrowed slightly.
From this sword, she clearly felt a shocking cold gleam and a bone-chilling coldness.
Those who could work in an auction house, besides being skilled in social etiquette, also relied on their discerning eye as a survival skill.
She could tell at a glance that this sword was no ordinary item.
"Could it be... this is a Wang-level Divine Weapon?"
Her mind was shaken, and her eyes seemed to emit light.
If it truly was a Wang-level Divine Weapon, then... this business deal would not be a small one, and Zhong Qing's identity would not be ordinary.
She also had not expected to be able to conduct such a business in this small Ling City.
After all, the appearance of a Wang-level Divine Weapon was enough to make first-rate forces fight over it.
Even a Holy Land Sect Master would be envious of its existence.
However, Wang-level Divine Weapons were too rare.
Given the red-robed woman's status, she simply couldn't come into contact with such high-end items.
However, above the ninth-grade, reaching a Wang-level Divine Weapon had a very obvious characteristic.
That was the birth of a spirit within the Divine Weapon, also known as a Sword Spirit.
She clearly felt emotional fluctuations from the sword.
"Senior... Senior, may I examine this sword!"
The thought of potentially completing a Wang-level Divine Weapon transaction in her hands almost made the red-robed woman faint from excitement.
"Go ahead and look!"
Zhong Qing casually reached out and handed it to the woman.
This made the woman's heart almost leap out of her throat.
She reverently took it, carefully wiping the sword.
A cold gleam flashed from the sword, making her feel a terrifying presence as if from the netherworld's purgatory.
"Given the terrifying characteristics of this sword, it's probably truly Wang-level."
The woman immediately came to a conclusion in her heart.
"Senior, are you... truly going to exchange this Divine Weapon for those top-grade Spirit Medicine?"
"Please forgive my lack of discernment, Senior."
"I cannot estimate the exact value of this Divine Weapon."
"But using it to exchange for these Spirit Materials, even at the lowest value, Senior, you would still be at a loss."
"Perhaps you could look at other items to see if there's anything else that catches your eye."
"No need to look, just send me all three types of top-grade Spirit Medicine from your warehouse, and for the rest of the overage, convert it into other Alchemy Materials. You can decide what specific Materials to use," Zhong Qing instructed.
For him, Alchemy Materials would all be useful to him in the future.
Anyway, keeping Materials on hand was always better safe than sorry.
"Oh, and regarding the discount?"
Zhong Qing looked at the red-robed woman again.
"Rest assured, Senior, it will be transacted at the lowest possible price," the red-robed woman quickly said.
The red-robed woman understood very well that an existence capable of casually producing a Wang-level Divine Weapon was absolutely not ordinary.
For such a person, making money was no longer the most important thing.
Being able to befriend them was more important than anything else.
"Senior, please wait a moment, I will go fetch the Spirit Medicine now!"
In less than fifteen minutes, dozens of top-grade Spirit Medicine were handed to Zhong Qing by her.
Her swift action and high efficiency were truly exceptional.
Seeing that he had obtained the Spirit Medicine he needed, Zhong Qing did not delay further and left with large strides.
Not until Zhong Qing had walked far away and his figure completely disappeared from sight.
Only then did the red-robed woman quickly order someone to send the Divine Weapon to headquarters.
She requested the headquarters to appraise its specific quality.
And what no one noticed was: in a corner of the pavilion, two figures watched Zhong Qing's departing back, and a strong sense of greed flashed in their hearts.
They had seen with their own eyes that Zhong Qing possessed a large amount of top-grade Spirit Medicine.
If they robbed him, it would be enough to get rich in one go.
It is said that treasures move hearts, and wealth entices souls.
Today, it was their brothers' turn to get rich.
To actually encounter such a big fat sheep.
Meanwhile, Zhong Qing left the auction house.
He had originally intended to return directly to the Sect.
However, he suddenly remembered that he had an agreement with the Old Beggar to visit him not long ago.
He immediately changed direction and headed straight towards the east of the city.
By the time he arrived at the old locust tree, the Old Beggar had already been waiting for a long time.
"Little brother, this Old Beggar finally waited for you!"
The Old Beggar grinned, revealing two rows of large yellow teeth.
They were bright yellow, giving off a strange sense of humor.
"Come, come, come, I've been looking forward to you for days, finally you're here."
"First, let's play a game of chess with this Old Beggar!"
"These past few days, I've diligently studied the many strategies and rules of this chess, and I believe my skill is no longer below yours. You must be careful."
The Old Beggar looked full of confidence.
As he spoke, he had already set up the chessboard.
However, the facts proved that the gap between the two could not be bridged by self-perception.
The two played for a day, and the Old Beggar lost for a day.
"No more, no more!"
Under the locust tree, the Old Beggar waved his hand, looking dejected.
"This is supposed to be for leisure, why are you getting so agitated from losing?"
Zhong Qing took a sip of wine and teased.
"If it were you losing all day, wouldn't you get agitated?"
The Old Beggar said indignantly.
"In life, whether you win or lose, if you only focus on the result, you will undoubtedly miss out on a lot of fun."
"You're so young, yet you see things so clearly!"
The Old Beggar pouted: "I can tell you have a lot of stories."
"Want to chat with this Old Beggar?"
Zhong Qing smiled: "Some stories are destined to be enjoyed only by oneself."
"Some stories can only be told when the mood is right."
"Let's talk about it when I'm in the mood, someday!"
"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back."
Zhong Qing looked at the starry sky and the bright moon, and bid farewell to the Old Beggar.
"Alright, if there's a chance, this Old Beggar would like to hear how wonderful the stories you speak of are."
The two parted ways!
Zhong Qing's figure gradually moved further away.
The Old Beggar looked in the direction he disappeared, deep in thought.
After a long while, he finally narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Interesting!"
"Truly interesting!"
"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting little brother."
"But for someone to dare to scheme against my little brother, they truly don't know what's good for them."
He looked at the two tails following behind Zhong Qing, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Just then.
Two figures approached from a distance, coming directly before the Old Beggar.
"Old Ancestor, you have been out for several years now."
"Please come back to the Sect to preside over the overall situation."
These two men were burly and robust, with bulging muscles, like Tiet Ta strongmen cast from steel.
Their Qi was profound, and their divine light was restrained, clearly they were Sun Profound Realm experts.
