CHAPTER 923: CHAPTER 923: DIRECT SALE

That’s right, what Zhu Fei is presenting to trade with this auction house is the same Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid he and Chen Tianxing acquired!

Although he still doesn’t know how much Immortal Crystal the three drops of Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid he’s taken out now can fetch.

However, there’s one thing Zhu Fei does know: if he wants to board the cross-domain train next month, ordinary methods are obviously not feasible.

And considering Zhu Fei’s current assets, aside from the Purple Dark Spirit Liquid, the most valuable thing on him might just be that Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid.

The reason he didn’t take out the Purple Dark Spirit Liquid is because Zhu Fei learned that such a thing seems to have disappeared entirely in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, since Zhu Fei is unclear about the current situation of the Purple Dark Spirit Liquid within the entirety of the Immortal Realm, he’s afraid that if he takes it out, others might suspect his origins.

After all, a cultivator ascending to a place like Chaotic City is not something usual.

If at that point, this causes some people to take notice of him, Zhu Fei would truly be ’lamenting without tears.’

At this moment, Elder Hu had put down the Jade Bottle and, in a probing tone, asked:

"Friend, do you have any more of this Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid on you? If you do, our auction house will take it all!"

As he spoke, Elder Hu added, "Rest assured, our auction house will make sure you won’t be at a disadvantage."

Upon suddenly hearing Elder Hu say this, Zhu Fei’s heart inexplicably sank slightly.

He knew that Elder Hu must already have some suspicions about him.

If Elder Hu didn’t yet understand his situation fully, or if there were any other accomplices behind him, fearing that taking action against him would spread such negative news and damage the reputation of their auction house, Zhu Fei had every reason to believe that Elder Hu might have already taken action against him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Fei felt a chill run through him internally.

Indeed, this so-called Immortal Realm, in the end, is nothing more than a world of cultivation, where the strong prey on the weak, which is essentially no different from when he was in the Cultivation World.

Fortunately, before coming here, he had already used a Heavenly Swapping Pill to disguise himself, believing that no matter how high Elder Hu’s cultivation was, it would be impossible for him to see through his disguise in a short time.

"Elder Hu, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed." Zhu Fei said unhurriedly, "When my companion and I found this item, there were only these three drops in total."

Pausing slightly, Zhu Fei continued, "If we were not urgently in need of Immortal Crystals and these three drops of Spiritual Liquid weren’t enough to share among us, we wouldn’t have brought it here to your auction house for sale."

"You have companions?"

It was clearly noticeable that when Zhu Fei mentioned "he and his companions," Elder Hu’s eyebrows suddenly twitched slightly.

This made Zhu Fei even more alert, thinking to himself, ’Good heavens, he really intended to act against me.’

Despite his inner anger, Zhu Fei didn’t show any of it on the surface. Instead, he deliberately feigned a look of confusion.

"Why? Elder Hu, is there a problem with that?"

"Hmm, no problem."

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s question, Elder Hu suddenly realized, immediately showing a smile and shaking his head:

"Friend, you might have misunderstood. I only asked just to know more about the Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid."

Elder Hu evidently didn’t want to continue discussing this topic, so after casually dismissing the question, he immediately changed the subject:

"I wonder if you brought the Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid to our auction house to sell directly or to have it auctioned at the auction?"

"Let’s sell it directly. My brothers and I urgently need Immortal Crystals, and we probably don’t have that much time to wait. Right, if I sell it directly to your auction house, what price will you offer?"

Zhu Fei no longer wanted to waste words with Elder Hu and preferred not to waste time on this matter.

He had already decided that after this transaction, he would immediately secretly return to Yue Dan’s Pill Shop to go into seclusion, and not emerge until the cross-domain train was about to depart.

As for participating in the auction, to hell with that!

It’s a joke—Zhu Fei wasn’t a fool. Knowing that someone had their eyes on him, going to the tiger’s den voluntarily wouldn’t be bravery but foolishness.

"Oh, you’re planning to sell the Spiritual Liquid directly to our auction house?"

Hearing Zhu Fei’s response, Elder Hu showed obvious delight on his face.

But quickly, as if something else occurred to him, his expression promptly returned to its previous state, and he said with a faint smile:

"Selling to us is certainly possible, but your Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid is really too small in quantity. Frankly, the price I can offer is limited."

’Darn it! You old bastard, even now you’re still pretending, can’t you simply get to the point?’

The truth is, Zhu Fei wasn’t that concerned about the price these three drops of Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid could fetch.

Right now, he just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible; as long as the number of Immortal Crystals given by the old man could meet his needs for the cross-domain train, that would suffice.

As if perceiving Zhu Fei’s impatience, Elder Hu paused momentarily before quickly continuing:

"How about this, I’ll buy your three drops of Heavenly Extreme Spiritual Liquid at the price of ten thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals per drop. Three drops will be thirty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals. How do you feel about that?"

"Elder Hu, don’t you think that price is a bit low?"

Though he wasn’t concerned with the price of the three drops, Zhu Fei was in a negotiation after all; if he acted too straightforwardly, it might arouse the other’s suspicion.

In business dealings, who wouldn’t want to earn more money, right?

As expected, upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, the hint of doubt in Elder Hu’s eyes eased somewhat.

Suddenly, he extended five fingers and said firmly: "Fifty thousand, I can give you fifty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals at most, not a single one more."

Zhu Fei bowed his head as if in deep thought and struggle.

Eventually, after some time, he abruptly raised his head and resolutely gritted his teeth: "Alright! Fifty thousand it is, but I must receive the crystals now."

"Haha, of course, there’s no problem at all."

Seeing Zhu Fei compromise, Elder Hu’s face finally revealed an exceedingly pleased smile.

He extended his hand, placing a Storage Ring in front of Zhu Fei.

"Friend, have a look. Fifty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals are all in here."

"Hmm."

Zhu Fei picked up the ring and briefly scanned it with his Divine Sense. Upon confirming that it was indeed as expected, he then said to Elder Hu:

"Elder Hu, in that case, I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell."

After finishing, Zhu Fei didn’t wait for Elder Hu’s reply and turned to stride out of the auction house.

...

"Little Qing, immediately have people from the guild investigate that person, and notify me as soon as there’s any information."

A short while later, Elder Hu was still sitting in the same spot.

He gazed toward the direction Zhu Fei had left and suddenly spoke in a chilling tone.

"Yes!"

A woman’s voice responded from the darkness.
