Chapter 1943: A small gain, a chance encounter with a dispute
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian finally stopped.
But his face has turned pitch black!
There is no doubt that this time it was a failure!
I hunt geese all year round, but unexpectedly I got pecked in the eye!
With Qin's mind, if he still couldn't react until now, he would really be damned.
Obviously, the reason why the witch took the initiative to retreat was to let Qin, his guard down, and buy enough time for his attendants to contact various shops to find out, and then take the opportunity to get what they need.
In this way, all the spiritual materials listed on the list, as long as they are available on the underground black market, will be collected by the treasure house, which is equivalent to having control of the bargaining chip.
Moreover, through constant testing, the demon girl had already seen a lot of clues. She knew that the Five Elements spiritual materials were only dispensable and that the demon beast skin was the key, so she staged this good show carefully, deliberately giving some sweetness first, and then sitting on the ground. Get it back at double the starting price.
Should I say it or not, this move is really cruel!
It's really hard to guard against.
Although Qin Tian was unwilling to admit it, he knew very well that since the bargaining chips were gone, it would be useless to struggle now. Unless he was willing to give up the treasure he was about to get, he could never hope to break this bloody situation!
However, the spiritual materials required for refining the phaseless mask are all relatively rare and partial types. Who can guarantee that if you miss it, you will encounter it again in the future? The time and energy wasted by then is probably immeasurable.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Unexpectedly, after years of being deceived and deceived, today I would actually fall into the hands of my colleagues and be deceived by a little girl. This is simply a great shame and humiliation!
A lifetime of fame is ruined in one day!
At the same time, seeing Qin Tian finally stop, the woman in plain robes smiled quite proudly, and her traitorous nature was clearly visible:
"Hehe! Please be patient, Taoist Priest. Our store does not force buying or selling. Besides, it is an underground black market. If it is not black, can it be called a black market...?"
There is no doubt that these words are quite straightforward.
For a moment, even Qin Tian was speechless.
Indeed, if she hadn't been careless and asked this witch to go to the black market in advance to check out the situation, there would be no such embarrassing situation.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Very good! The shopkeeper's method is really clever. I have learned a lesson. As the saying goes, mountains and rivers meet each other. Let's meet again in the future...!"
Although he was quite annoyed in his heart, Qin Tian still smiled calmly in the end, gritted his teeth and accepted the dumb loss, then waved his sleeves to take out the Yuan Stone, accurately dropped it on the desk, and neatly put away the three jade boxes.
The woman in plain robes across from him smiled even brighter when she saw this, barely concealing her pride.
"Keke! The little lady is really impressed by the Taoist priest's generosity. Our store is always waiting for you!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian didn't say anything more. He just took a deep look at the enchantress, then left and walked towards the outside of the store. His back looked very free and easy.
But he had secretly sworn in his heart that he would remember today's shame and make sure that this witch would return her original capital and profits in the future.
After all, Yuan Shi is a small matter, but dignity is a big deal.
He, Qin, has always been the only one who deceives others.
When did you ever suffer such a dumb loss?
.............
When the woman in plain robes at the back saw this, the look of pride in her eyes was beyond words. She obviously enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of being a profiteer!
"Hehe! Xiaoqing, see you off, and give the Taoist leader two bottles of cloud and mist snow caps as gifts. This is an exclusive benefit for distinguished guests, and it can be regarded as a great discount in our store...!"
Hearing this, the maid in blue hid her face and smiled, then quickly took the order and left.
However, the master and servant had no idea how serious the consequences of this matter would be!
As everyone knows, there was also a demon girl who did not know what was good or bad, and designed to harm a certain demon spirit stone, but in the end she paid a very painful price, and she is still raising a baby in the lower world with her belly full!
............
Speaking of Qin Tian on the other side, he did not continue wandering around after leaving the Treasure Collection Building, but headed directly towards the stall area, obviously intending to try his luck.
After all, the shops here have been searched by the witch, and the only place where spiritual materials are still possible is the stall area.
Although this trip was cheated by a bunch of spiritual stones, it was still a small gain to be able to collect six kinds of spiritual materials to enhance the life-sharp blade, plus two kinds of monster skins needed for the phaseless mask.
As for the consumption of Yuan Stone, he is not too distressed. Anyway, it is some ill-gotten wealth, and there is no psychological burden to spend it. At most, he can make more money later. He, Qin, still has this pattern. .
However, Qin Tian still looked a little unhappy after being taken advantage of for no reason, and his impression of the profiteers in this place plummeted.
In the following time, Qin Tian stopped and walked all the way, and quickly took a look around the stall area. However, disappointingly, he did not encounter what he needed anymore. Instead, he met someone he was familiar with. people.
When he turned a street corner, he suddenly noticed the noise coming from the crowd in front of him, and the voice sounded quite familiar. It was undoubtedly the Elf Queen Avril!
...........
In the crowded stall area, Avril, dressed in a black robe with her face covered by tulle, was standing in front of a stall arguing about something. She was also holding a blue-colored exotic herb with four-petal leaves in her hand. It was five. The first-level elixir "Blue Star Grass".
The owner of the stall was a fifty-year-old man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks. He was wearing a gray coarse linen shirt and looked skinny and hunched. With his shrewd triangular eyes, he looked cunning and treacherous.
But the old man's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Spiritualization.
Avril was angrily scolding something:
"It's just a blue star grass, but you dare to ask for ten low-grade Yuan stones. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out.........!"
Unexpectedly, the fifty-year-old man was calm and composed when he heard this, and he didn't forget to retort:
"Hehe! Don't make a mistake, fellow Taoist. This blue star grass of mine is four thousand five hundred years old, and its medicinal properties are extraordinary. If it is used as medicine to make pills, it may be able to make a medium-grade elixir. It's not too much to ask for ten low-grade Yuan stones...!"
Hearing this, Avril was so angry that she couldn't speak.
It should be noted that this Blue Star Grass is the main ingredient of the fifth-grade tonic elixir "Luhua Dan". Its value is self-evident. It is a sought-after commodity no matter where it is. However, even if it is of a high age, it is impossible to sell it at the sky-high price of ten low-grade Yuanshi stones. Therefore, the other party is obviously raising the price maliciously and is trying to extort money.
