PFC Chapter 109 Fu Wan Kui
Chapter 109 Fu Wan Kui
“This treasure is indeed extraordinary. It is genuine Yin Water and has not been diluted. However, although this treasure is excellent, I am not a demonic cultivator, so it will have little effect on me. Therefore, if you can produce ten bottles, I will agree to exchange them.”
“Fellow Daoist, you are being a bit too greedy. These ten bottles of Yin Water are enough to exchange for a piece of thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, while what you have is at most seven hundred years old. How can you possibly exchange it for that?”
"Hmph, that is indeed the case. However, Fellow Daoist Xia is a Thunder Spirit Body, so this Thunder-Struck Wood is just right for you."
Xia Yuhui's face darkened. After a moment's thought, he continued to transmit his voice: "Fellow Daoist, I only have seven bottles on me. I am willing to add another thousand spirit stones. This is the highest price I can offer. If you do not agree, I will have to give up. I do not believe that the other Daoists around me can offer a higher price."
"Fellow Daoist, the transaction is complete!" After a moment's thought, the man handed over the lightning-struck wood.
Xia Yuhui handed over the goods, and after the transaction was settled, Xia Yuhui turned and left. Overall, he was quite satisfied with the transaction.
In fact, Xia Yuhui has a lot of Yin Water on him. However, as the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted. If outsiders find out that he has a lot of Yin Water, many troubles will follow, and he may even be in danger of losing his life.
After Xia Yuhui came down, Zeng Mutong from the Zeng family also came down and walked to Xia Yuhui's side.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, I wonder if you still have Yin Water? I am willing to pay a high price to buy it. I also have a few treasures in my possession. What do you think?"
Zeng Mutong approached Xia Yuhui's side and began to transmit his voice to him.
Xia Yuhui chuckled inwardly. Sure enough, he wanted the lightning-struck wood, while others wanted his Yin Water. When this person came to his side, Xia Yuhui learned from Mingyue that this person practiced demonic arts.
Even though this person was perfectly concealed, he was still detected by the bright moon in his hand.
"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, I only have seven bottles, and I have already given them all to the fellow Daoist on the stage. If you have any needs, you can go and find him."
"Oh, thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. If you are fortunate enough to obtain such items again in the future, you may come to me, and I will certainly offer a reasonable price." After saying this, he immediately returned to the stage, clearly to negotiate.
However, judging from their expressions, the talks must have broken down.
Once the cultivator on the stage saw that no one else was going up, he left with his belongings.
Before anyone could react, Zeng Mutong went straight up to the stage and placed his belongings on it.
Although the cultivators below, whose cultivation levels were higher than Zeng Mutong's, were dissatisfied, they did not show it on their faces.
"Fellow Daoists, if you have any spiritual items such as Yin Water, you may come and exchange them."
Although there were many valuable items on this person's table, very few people went up on stage, and the cultivator who had just received the seven bottles of Yin Water from Xia Yuhui did not go up either.
After a while, the man stepped down from the stage in disappointment.
Next up, Qiu Lin from Guiyun Sect stepped onto the stage without hesitation, displaying his belongings on the table, which quickly attracted the attention of the crowd below.
Xia Yuhui did the same. He strode onto the stage and transmitted his voice to Qiu Lin: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, how much do you want for these two bottles of Vitality Liquid?"
Qiu Lin revealed a sly smile, already knowing that this would happen. Most of the people here were family cultivators, and the two bottles of vitality liquid in his hands were more important to them than some ordinary treasures, so they would inevitably fight over them.
“Fellow Daoist Xia, the starting price is 2500 spirit stones, and the highest bidder wins. If Fellow Daoist Xia can offer some treasures, then we can certainly exchange them.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui looked around. There were about seven people nearby, but he was certain that most of them were after the two bottles of Vitality Elixir. With a determined heart, he began to transmit his voice: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'll offer 3000 spirit stones for one bottle of Vitality Elixir. What do you think?"
"Fellow Daoist Xia, please wait a moment."
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Xia, it's settled then!" Qiu Lin's voice came again a few breaths later.
Xia Yuhui had no choice but to take out spirit stones to pay the bill. This Vitality Liquid was quite expensive. Now that he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it wouldn't be difficult for him to acquire other Foundation Establishment spiritual items, but he simply didn't have the time to search for them, so he had to buy it.
If the family has no Foundation Establishment cultivators, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What if he and Xia Guangyan were to meet with misfortune on the battlefield? Then the Xia family would be reduced to a mere Qi Refining family. At that time, their enemies would surely flock to them and devour the Xia family completely.
Therefore, he must leave a glimmer of hope for the Xia family, just like the old patriarch Xia Lingshan. This is the duty and responsibility of every patriarch.
After taking the Vitality Liquid, Xia Yuhui glanced at the other items and then turned to leave.
Following that, several more cultivators at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage took to the stage.
During this period, Xia Yuhui also made several moves. Overall, these veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators were quite wealthy, making him appear rather poor in comparison.
However, this is understandable, since he has only been at the Foundation Establishment stage for a few years and still needs to accumulate experience and refine his skills.
After the cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage finished, it was the turn of the early-Foundation Establishment stage. However, after several cultivators took the stage, the differences became apparent.
Their quality was worlds apart from that of those in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; some hadn't even even taken the stage. Xia Yuhui was no exception.
He currently doesn't possess many items that Foundation Establishment cultivators would find appealing, and even if he did, he couldn't sell them. Of course, he had considered continuing to sell Yin Water, but he had already taken out quite a bit; if he took out some more, it would definitely attract attention.
This group of people may seem righteous and full of morals at the moment, but once they see huge profits and know that he is a cultivator who has only recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage, they will pounce on him like hungry wolves.
Therefore, concealment is a necessary measure. In the cultivation world, many have died because they showed too much talent. Even those with extraordinary talent are not immune. If they make a slight mistake, they will be doomed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this trade fair has come to a successful conclusion. However, you may linger here for a while. I will take my leave now." With that, Wang Chuxiong invited a few friends and departed.
Just as Xia Yuhui was about to leave, a cultivator stepped forward, bowed to Xia Yuhui, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, I am Wan Kuifu, the founder of Wanxianglou. I heard about Fellow Daoist Xia's demeanor from my disciple, and today I have come to invite Fellow Daoist Xia to my Wanxianglou for a chat."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui narrowed his eyes slightly, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wan is aware of my feud with Yan Hanyun?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Kuifu felt a sudden tension. After a moment's thought, he recalled what his disciple had said and immediately realized something was amiss. He then said, "Fellow Daoist, is there some misunderstanding between you and my disciple? I hope you will enlighten me. I truly do not know what my disciple has done. If my disciple has done anything to offend Fellow Daoist Xia, I will certainly bring him here to apologize."
“Fellow Daoist Wan, last time your disciple invited me to help, as soon as I arrived at the destination, I realized that the Cai family and the Chi Mu family had set up an ambush all around. If I hadn’t been extremely cautious, I would probably have lost my life at the hands of the thieves.” Xia Yuhui didn’t care whether he really knew or not, and spoke directly.
"What? This is outrageous! This... Fellow Daoist Xia, could it be that you have misunderstood something? My disciple did not tell me this."
However, Xia Yuhui remained silent, staring at him intently.
"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, he is currently in Wanxiang Tower in Wanbao County. We will go to find him now. If he has indeed done such a thing, I will hand him over to fellow Daoist Xia for disposal. Is that alright?" Unable to withstand the pressure, Wan Kuifu could only answer in this way.
