714: The beautiful fantasy of the master and apprentice was shattered in an instant

“That must be the latter, of course.”

Fang Jixuan replied without hesitation.

“Exactly, that’s what everyone thinks. You just wait to pick up the scraps, kid.”

“Alright, alright, alright!”

The master and disciple were engrossed in their fantasy world, as if no one else was around.

They completely failed to notice the playful look in Hongluan’s eyes, as if she were watching a clown.

Seeing Fang Jixuan lower his head, his expression constantly changing, was quite amusing.

Yan Hongluo, however, couldn't be bothered with irrelevant people. She tried various methods to examine the treasures, picking and choosing, planning to hand over everything she couldn't understand to Gu Qing.

What she couldn't discern, Gu Qing definitely could.

Yaoyao was quietly acting as a mascot.

“Huh, that’s not right…”

Fang Jixuan and his master finally awoke from their wishful thinking.

He waited and waited, but why hadn’t Hongluan offered him any treasures yet?

Fang Jixuan looked up, his eyes confused as he stared at Hongluan, who was looking at him with a playful expression, like he was a clown.

An unnamable anger surged in Fang Jixuan’s heart.

What did Hongluan mean by this?

Did she also think he was useless, like everyone else?

“Junior Brother, what are you thinking about so intently?”

Hongluan’s fiery red lips curled slightly. A floor-length red dress enveloped her voluptuous body, inspiring endless imagination.

Her eyes seemed to contain infinite charm, and her skin was fair and radiant with a captivating luster.

Every frown and smile of Hongluan, even when she was mocking, carried a myriad of charms, making her a veritable femme fatale who could bring disaster to the world.

What a vixen… Fang Jixuan secretly swallowed, and the anger in his heart immediately dissipated.

Hearing Hongluan’s words, he immediately snapped back to reality, shaking his head in feigned confusion: “No, I wasn’t thinking about anything, Senior Sister.”

Although Hongluan was incomparably seductive, and there was also the pure and desirable Yaoyao, and the queen-like Yan Hongluo, all three women were peerless beauties.

However, how could women be as important as an Opportunity?

It was better to first figure out how to get the Dao Transmission Token and the Ninth-Rank Dao Artifact.

“Since you weren’t, then Junior Brother, please leave.”

The playful look on Hongluan’s face deepened as she retrieved the three thousand Innate Spirit Crystals.

She wanted to see how long Fang Jixuan would keep up his act.

“Ah?”

Fang Jixuan was dumbfounded.

Telling him to leave?

He had given her a Divine Beauty Dao Pill, so why didn’t Hongluan give him anything in return?

“I have received Junior Brother’s kind intentions. If Junior Brother doesn’t leave yet, does he plan to stay here for the New Year?”

Hongluan’s face showed mockery, and she twirled a strand of red hair with her slender jade hand.

Fang Jixuan secretly swallowed.

No way, no way, Hongluan wouldn't be so shameless as to just take his Divine Beauty Dao Pill, would she?

“Elder Dan, this woman doesn’t play by the rules, what should we do?” Fang Jixuan panicked.

Elder Dan was also stunned.

He never expected such a beginning.

He had lived for countless years and had never seen a woman with such a peculiar personality.

She even tried to trick a Dao Alchemist. Did this woman even know the value of a Dao Alchemist?

The beautiful fantasy of the young and old master and disciple instantly shattered… “So, he wants to pick up scraps.”

Gu Qing understood when he saw this.

As the saying goes, classics are eternal, and tropes last forever.

Whether it's an urban Dragon King or a Xuanhuan Dragon King, the plot of picking up scraps is indispensable.

The protagonist, with his Wisdom Eye, sees a treasure, then uses a small trick to exchange it for a treasure at a very low cost. What seems like a fair transaction is actually a beggar exchanging a dollar for the richest man’s entire fortune.

“Are you going to make a move?” Youmeng asked.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then shook his head: “Forget it, let’s see how Hongluan handles it.”

There’s a saying that you can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days. He couldn’t always be by Hongluan’s side.

It might be good to use this Opportunity to temper Hongluan, lest she be sold by the protagonist one day and still help the protagonist count money.

Moreover, Fang Jixuan’s fate was intertwined with two Dominator Gods, so he wasn’t that easy to kill.

Furthermore, Gu Qing didn’t want to provoke the Dominator Gods anymore.

Cangyu and Gu Jun were already giving him enough headaches. If he provoked two more, and if he didn't want to expose the Chaos Treasure Bottle, he would only be able to flee for his life.

And this would bring catastrophic disaster to the Star God Sect… “Don’t panic, I don’t believe she doesn’t care about Dao Alchemists. She definitely wants more.” Elder Dan’s tone was firm.

After the initial panic, Elder Dan felt he had seen through Hongluan.

It must be that Hongluan saw Fang Jixuan wanted these treasures, so she became insatiably greedy and wanted even more.

Anyway, Hongluan and the other two had noble statuses and were sisters with Sect Master Yu Qing, so they weren’t afraid of offending a Dao Alchemist, nor were they afraid of not having Dao Alchemists to perform Alchemy for them in the future.

Thinking this, Elder Dan became even more certain of his guess, so he said: “You just tell her directly that you want to trade some treasures with her. She won’t refuse. No one can resist the temptation of a Dao Pill.”

Hearing Elder Dan speak so confidently, Fang Jixuan immediately relaxed. He looked at Hongluan and said with a wry smile: “Senior Sister, I wonder if I can exchange some Magic Treasures with you?”

“So you want to trade, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Hongluan suddenly understood, her beautiful face seemed to be both angry and resentful, full of endless charm.

Fang Jixuan couldn't help but exclaim, “What a vixen!”: “Elder Dan, are you sure she’s not a fox spirit?”

“She’s not a fox spirit, but she’s better than a fox spirit. You need to be careful, this woman is not a good person.”

“Don’t worry, Elder Dan, I’ll learn from my mistakes. I won’t make the same mistake twice.”

After ending his telepathic conversation with Elder Dan, Fang Jixuan took a deep breath, forcing himself not to look at Hongluan.

“Senior Sister, I still have one Divine Beauty Dao Pill, do you think that’s enough?”

Hongluan’s smile froze, and she said incredulously: “These treasures of mine are worth at least hundreds of thousands of Innate Spirit Crystals, or even more.”

“Although the Divine Beauty Dao Pill is precious, how much is it worth? Junior Brother, you’re not trying to fool me, are you?”

“Senior Sister, that’s not right.”

“The Divine Beauty Dao Pill is priceless but has no market. In the eyes of some female cultivators, it’s worth far more than a few hundred Innate Spirit Crystals. No female cultivator can refuse a Divine Beauty Dao Pill. Senior Sister can use it to give to powerful female cultivators…”

Fang Jixuan immediately retorted. He was never one to back down from bargaining, and he immediately spoke eloquently, with sound reasoning.

He naturally knew that one Divine Beauty Dao Pill wouldn't be enough for a trade, but don't you always haggle when buying things?

Anyway, the three couldn't discern the Dao Transmission Token and the Ninth-Rank Dao Artifact, so if they kept them, they were no different from scrap metal.

He felt like he was losing out by trading with a Divine Beauty Dao Pill.

If it weren’t for wanting to get close to the three of them, and needing to present treasures that would move them, he wouldn’t even want to give up the Divine Beauty Dao Pill.

“Alright! You have a point.”

Hongluan nodded, looking as if she agreed.

“So, Senior Sister agrees to the trade?”

“Why would I agree? Do I look like an idiot?” Hongluan scoffed.

Fang Jixuan’s mentality collapsed. If she didn't agree, why did she agree to his point?

So, he had been shouting for half a day, and Hongluan had just been watching a monkey show, right?

Was it fun to play with him?

It can only be said that Fang Jixuan was only half right. Playing with him was true, but Hongluan’s goal was to play him to death.

Although Hongluan was the female lead, she wasn’t a proper female lead. She didn’t have the personality of a female lead who wouldn’t bully the weak or take advantage of others.

She herself was not a good bird.

Fang Jixuan actually tried to trick her out of treasures. If she didn’t kill Fang Jixuan, she wouldn’t be able to swallow this anger.

But before that, she needed to confirm one thing.

Thinking this, Hongluan looked at Fang Jixuan with the gaze of someone caring for an idiot, and her red lips parted slightly:

“Any one of my treasures, if taken to an auction, could be sold for hundreds of thousands of Innate Spirit Crystals, or even used to trade for treasures with powerful cultivators, or to curry favor. Isn’t that much better than a mere Divine Beauty Dao Pill?”

“Who I trade with doesn’t matter, does it? Why should I trade with you at a loss?”

“…”
