35: You worthless wretch, as long as my wife is happy.
"Hm? Why is it them?"
Seeing the newcomers, Li Wuyou frowned, very displeased.
That broken wine pot could make his qiankun immortal jade react, so it was definitely not an ordinary item. How could he let others lay claim to it?
He had to get it!
"The old man already gave this pot to me!"
"Your Excellency, isn't it against the rules for you to interfere midway like this?" Li Wuyou said coldly.
"Oh my! Little brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say anything!"
The toothless old man's eyes lit up when he saw a new 'big fish' arrive, and his expression changed instantly.
"When did this old man say he gave it away? I said I'd sell you this Pill Furnace cheaply! This wine pot is a family heirloom, if you want it, you'll have to pay more!"
What a great day!
Another 'fish' has come, and an even bigger one!
"You!"
Li Wuyou was so angry he was speechless, clenching his fists secretly.
He was somewhat enraged!
Qin Wushang saw this and sneered inwardly.
His folding fan snapped shut with a 'swish', and he lightly picked up the broken wine pot with the handle, saying casually,
"Tsk, it's a bit broken."
He tilted his head and showed a doting yet flamboyant smile to Ye Hongfu beside him.
"But dear, didn't you just say you liked this kind of 'aged' style, and wanted to buy it to Cultivate that Neon Dream Luo Flower?"
"Don't say it, this ugly broken pot, when placed with your precious flower, might actually have a bit of... what's it called again? Oh right, contrasting beauty!"
Qin Wushang, in his white robe, was very handsome, giving off the impression of a rich and powerful Young Master!
Spending money just to win a beauty's smile!
The old man's heart bloomed with joy upon hearing this, and he immediately held up two fingers, smiling.
"This Young Master truly has a Wisdom Eye for treasures! To be honest, this is the personal wine pot of the Ancient Wine Saint Venerable!"
"It contains the qiankun, with endless mysteries! Today, it is fated to meet this Young Master and this beautiful lady, so this old man will make a big sacrifice to make friends!"
"For only one hundred eighty-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight Top-Grade Spirit Stones, this supreme treasure can be yours!"
He opened his gaping maw directly, intending to swallow Qin Wushang, this 'big fish', whole.
"180,000! Why don't you just rob someone?"
This time, even Ye Hongfu couldn't help but speak up.
One hundred eighty thousand, and Top-Grade Spirit Stones at that, even for her, a True Disciple of the Academy, she couldn't earn that in ten years.
And that was under the condition of taking on missions frantically!
"Old man, the rules of the black market are that once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back! You clearly agreed to sell me the pot and the Pill Furnace together just now!"
"We have already reached a deal. By going back on your word like this, aren't you breaking the rules?" Li Wuyou argued heatedly.
"Exactly!"
"Although it's not a valuable item, since you said you'd give it to my Young Master, how can you go back on your word?"
"And you two! How hateful! Just because you have money, you snatch what others like!" The little maidservant snorted, stamping her feet in anger.
"Hm?!"
Qin Wushang frowned, his face full of disdain.
"Where did this stinky pauper come from, daring to talk about rules with this Young Master? The rule is, the highest bidder gets it!"
"Have you paid the Spirit Stones? If not, shut up!"
"Today, this Young Master is indeed impressive because he has money!"
He turned to the old man, and with a casual flick, a cluster of light appeared, clearly Spirit Stones.
The crisp sound of Top-Grade Spirit Stones clinking made the old man's ears perk up, his eyes gleaming!
"Here are five hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones! This Young Master wants your broken pot!"
The old man swallowed, his eyes full of Spirit Stones, and quickly said with a smile, "That's right! This Young Master is right, you haven't even paid the Spirit Stones yet, so the transaction isn't completed!"
"This incredibly handsome and elegant Young Master is the real buyer! Your deal doesn't count!"
"You...!" Li Wuyou was furious, gritting his teeth.
"One thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
He couldn't care less anymore!
He directly increased the price!
This seemingly broken wine pot had to be acquired today!
"Oh? You want to compete with this Young Master in wealth?"
Qin Wushang raised his hand, pointing casually at Li Wuyou with his folding fan, and smiled at Ye Hongfu: "Dear, look, there are always people in this world who don't know their own limits."
"Two thousand! This Young Master offers two thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Whether it's a treasure or not doesn't matter, what matters is that this Young Master just doesn't like you, you stinky pauper!"
"Come on! Keep raising the price! Today, I want to see what you, this stinky pauper, will use to compete with this Young Master!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Wuyou's face turned ashen!
Having lived a second life!
This was the first time he felt so aggrieved!
But he was still unwilling. Although he didn't have many Spirit Stones left, he still wanted to keep raising the price!
At this moment, the little maidservant also tugged at his sleeve, whispering a reminder.
"Young Master!"
"Let's just forget it! We can't win against such a rich dog! Let him have this junk!"
"Let's go! If all the Spirit Stones are spent, what will you use to Cultivate? What will we eat? How will we make wine?"
This was the Imperial Capital, where every inch of land was worth a Spirit Stone!
Mortal gold and silver treasures were useless here; the main currency was still Spirit Stones.
Their family fortune couldn't withstand arguing with such a rich dog!
"Fine! I'll let him keep it for now. One day, this Wine Immortal will personally reclaim it!" Li Wuyou raged in his heart.
In terms of Spirit Stones, he definitely couldn't outcompete the rich dog Qin Wushang. Now, he could only let go!
Even if he continued to raise the price, the only one who would profit was that disgusting boss, not him!
"Hmph! It's just a piece of junk, I don't want it anyway!" He snorted, flicking his sleeve and leaving.
Qin Wushang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
He immediately took out Spirit Stones, preparing to buy the broken wine pot!
But at this moment, Ye Hongfu stepped forward directly. She picked up the wine pot, her willow brows slightly furrowed, and put it back down with disdain.
"Husband~" She said in a coquettish tone, "I just looked closely, and the chip is too big. It will definitely leak water if I use it for flowers."
"Spending two thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones on a leaky pot, my sisters will laugh at me for being a fool~"
"I don't want it anymore, let's go, let's go!"
"As long as my wife likes it!" She hugged Qin Wushang's arm, rubbing against his chest, trying to pull him away.
Qin Wushang understood and quickly cooperated.
Now it was the old man's turn to panic!
He hastily stepped forward, reaching out to stop them, and said anxiously, "No, no, no! Young Master, Madam!"
"Everything is negotiable! Five hundred! Just as you said at the beginning, five hundred! Just five hundred!"
If that 'fish' ran away, and this 'fish' also ran away!
That would be worse than killing him!
He didn't want to regret it later!
However, the two still turned to leave, which made the old man even more anxious.
"Oh dear, Young Master, let's be friends, I'll give you an even better price, how about 150 Top-Grade Spirit Stones?" He continued to lower the price, his heart bleeding.
"Fine!"
"Since my wife said she liked it, then I'll buy it after all, to save her from climbing all over this Young Master at night and complaining about him again!"
"It's best to buy what women set their eyes on! After all, their hearts change in an instant, and who knows, one day they might complain again about not buying it for them, and find an excuse to argue."
Qin Wushang said, turning to take the broken wine pot from the old man.
150 Top-Grade Spirit Stones appeared, and the old man immediately collected them!
He quickly shoved the broken wine pot into Qin Wushang's hand, fearing that the cooked duck would fly away.
"That's right, Young Master, look, I have other treasures here, why don't you take another look!" The old man said with a smile.
"Treasures? This Young Master has plenty at home! A thousand gold can't buy my wife's happiness! My wife wouldn't even look at these things of yours, so they're no different from trash!" Qin Wushang tapped the broken wine pot with his finger, looking cynical, and swaggered away.
