41: Don’t get me wrong, these things I bought are actually very useful!

"Slurp..."

Hearing Xiao Chen's annoyed low voice and feeling Cai Yan's murderous gaze.

Yun Shan took another deep breath before reluctantly raising his head.

"Apologies, I've made a fool of myself before you two."

Seeing the strange looks on their faces, Yun Shan waved his hand, signaling the maidservant to withdraw.

He then coughed a few times, his face quite awkward as he spoke.

"This old man is a bit old, and it's inevitable to have some minor ailments."

"If my emotions get too agitated, the Qi and blood in my body will rush straight to my head."

"If I don't promptly inhale a few breaths of maidenly energy, this old man is very likely to suffer Qi deviation because of it."

After hearing Yun Shan's explanation, Xiao Chen and Cai Yan were both stunned.

There's actually such a strange illness?

Could it be that this old man cultivated some evil technique of harvesting Yin to supplement Yang?

"Please don't misunderstand..."

"This is a sequela left behind after I forcibly broke through to the Nirvana Realm because the Pure Yang cultivation technique I practice is somewhat incomplete."

Seeing Xiao Chen and Cai Yan's suspicious gazes, Yun Shan also explained helplessly.

The next moment, Yun Shan didn't dwell on this topic either, but instead asked Xiao Chen with a solemn expression.

"Young Master Xiao, although the quality of this batch of pills is all top-grade, they are Profound Rank and Earth Rank pills, so the selling price won't be excessively high."

"If you urgently need spirit crystals now, this old man can acquire this batch of top-grade pills in your hands for a price of 3.6 million spirit crystals."

"However, if Gongzi is not in a hurry, this old man's suggestion is to auction them on your behalf!"

"Our Merchant Guild will only take a 20% service fee, and the remaining 80% of the auction proceeds will belong to Gongzi."

"May I ask Gongzi what your thoughts are?"

If it were an ordinary person.

Yun Shan would have chosen to acquire them without hesitation and wouldn't have asked the other party if they wanted to auction them.

But Xiao Chen gave him a rather mysterious feeling, making him want to befriend the other party.

So after some thought, he still chose to make a concession.

"Auction?"

After hearing Yun Shan's words, Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

"Could it be that your esteemed Merchant Guild is holding an auction recently?"

As everyone knows.

The acquisition price of a Merchant Guild is generally the lowest price.

If they could be auctioned, the value of this batch of his pills might even increase several times over.

Therefore, upon hearing that they could be auctioned, Xiao Chen was immediately moved.

"Hahaha, Gongzi has also come at a fortunate time."

"Tiandu City here was originally scheduled to hold a grand auction in three days."

"Now everything is almost ready, just waiting to issue the announcement to invite the surrounding forces."

Hearing this, Yun Shan laughed heartily, a hint of complacency appearing on his face.

This auction was something he applied for from the Merchant Guild headquarters, and he even managed to get quite a few good items.

He originally wanted to perform well, and now he had welcomed Xiao Chen as a guest.

If this batch of pills could also be auctioned together, the grand occasion of the auction in three days would be even more sensational!

"Three days later..."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

"Alright, let's do as you said, directly switch to auction!"

He had only killed Li Hai today.

Taiyi Sword Sect shouldn't discover the truth so quickly, so there shouldn't be any threat to the Xiao Family in the short term.

And during these few days of stay.

He could try to deal with Murong Fu and obtain the Rejuvenating Purple Pill in his hands.

"Gongzi is indeed wise..."

Hearing this, Yun Shan immediately beamed with joy, and then put away all the pills before him.

"This old man will temporarily keep these pills on your behalf. This old man will now arrange for a private room, and you two can stay at the Merchant Guild for these few days."

"No rush on the accommodation, this transaction isn't finished yet..."

Seeing that Yun Shan planned to arrange accommodation for them and add this batch of pills to the auction list.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, immediately stopping the other party.

"Does Gongzi still have good items?"

Hearing this, Yun Shan also turned back sharply, looking at Xiao Chen with a face full of surprise.

So many top-grade pills, and he hasn't even emptied his family's wealth. This Young Master is truly rolling in wealth!

"No, in this transaction, I'm not selling anything, but rather I want to purchase a batch of materials from you."

Seeing the look of surprise in Yun Shan's eyes, Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, then continued straightforwardly.

"Your Merchant Guild has been operating in Tiandu City for so many years, you should have a lot of old and discarded materials that are difficult to sell."

"For example, broken weapons, discarded pills, rotten medicine, corpse materials, things that have some value but are rarely bought."

"No matter how much you have, I'll take it all!"

This... was his most fundamental purpose for coming to the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild.

As the largest Merchant Guild within the Great Qian Dynasty, the Merchant Guild's methods for collecting materials can be said to be top-notch.

And such a massive Merchant Guild is bound to have a large inventory of materials, with all sorts of materials available.

Many materials can only sit in the warehouse gathering dust due to quality issues.

If he becomes a distinguished guest of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild and then acquires these materials at a low price, he will undoubtedly be able to convert them into countless points.

Therefore, he took out so many top-grade pills to sell, precisely to elevate his own status to a certain level.

Only then would it be convenient to acquire the materials from the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild at the lowest possible cost!

"Gongzi, you want the old and discarded materials in our Merchant Guild's inventory?!"

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yun Shan was completely dumbfounded.

He clearly didn't know what kind of move Xiao Chen was making.

First selling a batch of top-grade pills, and now wanting to extensively acquire scraps. Are the tastes of Young Masters from major powers all this unique?

"Don't misunderstand..."

"Actually, I have a great use for buying these things."

Seeing Yun Shan's strange and suspicious gaze, Xiao Chen could only casually make up a reason.

"Actually, it's because my Master raised a strange Devouring Beast."

"It needs to devour a large amount of materials every day to accelerate the growth of its bloodline, which is why he asked me to acquire some waste."

After speaking, Xiao Chen couldn't help but glance at Cai Yan.

It seemed that the Swallowing Heaven Python Bloodline within this woman, once completely activated and transformed, could also devour everything to grow.

As he spoke these words, it seemed he was subtly hinting at the other party.

This woman shouldn't notice, right?

Just as this thought fell, Xiao Chen found that Cai Yan also looked over, a strange look revealed in her eyes.

That look seemed to be saying, are you implying that you want to keep me as a pet?

"Cough..."

Seeing Cai Yan's strange gaze, Xiao Chen didn't dare to meet her eyes for too long. After a dry cough, he shifted his gaze.

And after Yun Shan finished listening, he gasped sharply.

An exotic beast capable of devouring everything to grow, he had never heard of such a thing in his impression.

Could it be the cub of some Saint Beast?!

With this absurd guess in his heart, Yun Shan felt increasingly awe-inspired towards Xiao Chen.

To be able to raise such an unprecedented exotic beast, and also casually take out so many top-grade pills.

The Master behind Xiao Chen was at least a Heavenly Human Realm expert, and possibly even an oldStrange in the Saint Realm!

"Since Young Master Xiao has a need, this old man will certainly do my utmost."

As this thought fell, Yun Shan developed the idea of ingratiating himself with Xiao Chen and immediately cupped his hands respectfully, saying.

"Please wait here for a moment, Young Master Xiao. This old man will now organize all the materials that the Merchant Guild has had difficulty selling over the years and present them all to Gongzi."

After speaking, before Xiao Chen could say anything, Yun Shan happily scurried off to get busy.
