CHAPTER 258: CHAPTER 166: WHO REALLY GOT THE ADVANTAGE?_3

Li Yunjing bowed deeply to Wei Fan.

Since he had received the benefits, Li Yunjing knew he should say something to ease Wei Fan’s displeasure.

"Alright! Scram! Three months from now, I will have Wenzheng deliver the three Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts to you!"

Even after hearing Li Yunjing’s nice words, Wei Fan still seemed very displeased, feeling he had suffered a great loss.

The expression on his face was as ugly as it could get.

"Hehe! This disciple takes his leave!"

Feeling how angry Wei Fan was, Li Yunjing did not dare to stay long and signaled Yang Wenzheng to quickly leave with him.

"Er..."

Yang Wenzheng was a bit dumbfounded and looked blankly at his teacher.

"Scram! You scram too!"

But Yang Wenzheng received a scolding from his teacher. He dared not say a word and left shamefacedly with Li Yunjing.

"Hahaha! That kid is so naive! This time I’ve really hit the jackpot! At least fifty thousand Spirit Stones worth of profit! Wahaha!"

Since there was no one left in the stone chamber, and he confirmed that Li Yunjing and Yang Wenzheng were far away, Wei Fan laughed heartily.

"Such good stuff! These turtle shells are the main material for Spiritual Artifacts. With these, how many Spiritual Artifacts could I refine!"

"I’ve made a fortune! My good disciple sent me such a big catch!"

While laughing, Wei Fan collected all the turtle shells and materials.

...

Meanwhile, in the passageway leading out of the mountain, Yang Wenzheng seemed like he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.

Li Yunjing noticed Yang Wenzheng’s strange expression and showed a look of apology.

He looked at Yang Wenzheng and repeatedly said, "Brother Yang, I’m sorry! I had no choice; I really didn’t have any Spirit Stones, so I kept bargaining, which offended your master and got you implicated and scolded by him."

"Er..."

After hearing Li Yunjing’s apology, Yang Wenzheng was left speechless.

He is an Artifact Refiner, a Tier One peak Artifact Refiner, and he was very clear about the prices of these materials. His teacher made a huge profit, yet Li Yunjing appeared to be dully unaware?

Did he still think his teacher suffered a loss?

What kind of person is his teacher?

Someone who would not miss a single hair!

No one has ever gotten the better of his teacher!

But since things had happened as they did, and Li Yunjing believed he got a good deal, Yang Wenzheng couldn’t reveal the truth and betray his teacher!

Friend, teacher, how to choose between the two?

Yang Wenzheng was deeply conflicted inside.

"Ahem..."

After a long while, Yang Wenzheng’s face reddened a bit, "Forget it! We are friends; there’s no need to worry about these small matters."

As he said this, Yang Wenzheng’s face reddened even more!

He had never taken advantage of a friend like this in his life!

At this moment, walking with Li Yunjing made Yang Wenzheng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Brother Yang! You’re quite something!"

Hearing these words, Li Yunjing’s heart warmed, and he took out his "Hundred Treasures Pouch," retrieved a large leg of a Xuan Turtle, and handed it to Yang Wenzheng.

Seeing Yang Wenzheng’s bewildered expression, Li Yunjing continued to explain to Yang Wenzheng.

"Brother! I have been drained of all my valuables by your master! This Xuan Turtle leg tastes great and is very nourishing. Go find a cook and have a fine meal!"

Li Yunjing said embarrassedly.

"Damn!"

Yang Wenzheng was thoroughly exasperated. Brother Li, I always thought you were quite shrewd. How can you be so naive now?

How could you be so easily deceived?

How have you managed to navigate the martial world and survive until now?

Li Yunjing’s actions made Yang Wenzheng feel awkward.

"Hehe! Brother Yang, don’t disdain it. This stuff is really a great supplement. If you don’t believe it, find a girl and let her try it!"

Li Yunjing smiled wickedly.

"It’s nothing! It’s nothing!"

Yang Wenzheng sighed and thought to himself, "Since my friend is so considerate, I can’t let my master exploit him too much. I must make my master put in more effort and do a fine job!"

"Brother Yang, you don’t have to accompany me any further. I owe you a favor for today’s matter, and I will surely repay you in the future!"

Exiting the cave, Li Yunjing declined Yang Wenzheng’s offer to continue seeing him off and gently pushed him back.

Today, after repeatedly bargaining and angering Wei Fan, he felt too ashamed to say much to Yang Wenzheng.

"Alright then! Brother Li, take care! Once the Spiritual Artifacts are refined, I’ll find you first to deliver these treasures."

Yang Wenzheng sighed before turning back step by step to the cave.

Actually, it’s not that Li Yunjing is foolish; it’s just that the limitation of his level and professional knowledge made him have a blind spot regarding Spiritual Artifact materials.

And Wei Fan is a seasoned actor, a complete old fox, who managed to deceive Li Yunjing.

All in all, it boiled down to Li Yunjing’s inexperience!

He suffered because of his lack of experience!

"Yang Wenzheng is really a good brother!"

Li Yunjing lightheartedly teleported back to "Seven Stars Peak" via the Teleportation Array, but thinking about his current impoverished state, he sighed again.

Who would have thought that having a few Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts refined would turn him from a wealthy man to a pauper?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Wenzheng naturally wasn’t satisfied and went straight to his teacher.

"Teacher! You are too much!"

Yang Wenzheng, familiar with his teacher, didn’t bother with formalities and immediately voiced his complaint.

"Hehe! What do you know! Should I leave all these nice things for him?"

Wei Fan laughed dismissively.

"But he’s my friend! When Li Yunjing figures it out, how can I still mingle in our circle?"

Yang Wenzheng complained.

"What are you afraid of! Fine, I’ll put in some effort! I’ll upgrade his Spiritual Artifacts to Peak Low Grade!"

Hearing his disciple’s words, Wei Fan couldn’t help but furrow his brow, thought for a bit, and grudgingly agreed.
