Chapter 53: Bait (1)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Guang ‘an Prefecture’s wandering cultivator market.
Wu Inn.
The middle-aged man surnamed Sun left the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop and made several turns along the way. After making sure that no one was following him, he stopped in front of the Wu Clan Inn.
He walked to a guest room and knocked on the door.
“You’re back?”
As the door opened, a tall, thin, pale-faced middle-aged cultivator with a cultivation of the ninth qi layer sat cross-legged on a warm jade futon in the guest room.
The pale-faced middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the rough-looking middle-aged man named Sun.
“You’re back,”
The middle-aged man with the surname Sun cupped his hands and replied,” Big Brother, I’ve done what you asked me to do. The bait has been delivered. We’re just waiting for the fish to take the bait.”
As he spoke, the man surnamed Sun recounted what had just happened.
After narrating, he could not help but complain,” This Chen brat is really stingy. It took me a lot of effort to make that treasure map, but he only gave me ten spirit stones.”
With that, the middle-aged man took out the spirit stones.
The pale-faced middle-aged cultivator glanced at him and smiled.”It’s fine.
The bait has been cast. We’re just waiting for the fish to take the bait.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Sun looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing his brother’s puzzled expression, the pale-faced middle-aged man glanced at him and said, “”You and 1 are brothers from the same mother. If you have something to say, say it clearly.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man named Sun cupped his hands and said,”Big brother, I don’t understand. Since we’re going to rob this Chen brat, why don’t we just rob him halfway or sell the complete treasure map to him?”
“You are too reckless. Otherwise, why would we hide in Guang ‘an Prefecture from Cangzhou City?”
The middle-aged man shook his head.” The Spirit Void Battleship of the Zhou Family of Guang ‘an Prefecture has been patrolling the safe sea routes to ensure the safety of the merchant ships passing by. Although we can intercept them halfway, we will encounter uncontrollable risks. We are seeking wealth, not risking our lives.”
After a pause, he continued to explain,” As for what you said about directly selling the complete treasure map to the other party.”
The middle-aged man laughed.” You know what? Almost everyone in the world thinks that they are smart people. Do you know what the biggest weakness of smart people is?”
The man surnamed Sun shook his head blankly.”! don’t know.”
” The biggest weakness of smart people is that they only believe what they see and think. Smart people are naturally wary of things like free lunch. What I’m going to do next is to eliminate their vigilance.”
The pale-faced middle-aged man spoke with assurance.
“Big Brother, I don’t know about this. Anyway, I’ll do whatever you say, hehe!”
The middle-aged man surnamed Sun said with a simple and honest look.
Seeing this, the pale-faced cultivator smiled and shook his head.
Guang ‘an Prefecture, Slave Market.
Chen Daoxuan and his clansmen were strolling in this huge slave market. Beside him was a slave trader at the seventh qi layer.
“Shopkeeper, will the female slaves of the Yun Nation hate their masters after buying them back?”
This was what Chen Daoxuan was most worried about. He needed the women of the Yun Nation to reproduce for his Chen Clan, not to bring back a group of enemies.
Otherwise, under the influence of this group of people who hated the Chen family’s mother, the descendants of the Chen family would also hate the family in their hearts when they grew up. This would not be developing the family, but burying the root of disaster for the family.
Hearing this, the slave trading company’s manager shook his head and smiled. “”Fellow Daoist Chen, don’t worry about this matter. If our trading company can’t even solve such a small matter, then what’s the point of operating this business? The shops have long been torn down by the major immortal clans in the Infinite Star Sea!”
He paused.” For every female slave on sale in the trading firm, we will ask the cultivators to cast spells on the female slaves to ensure that they forget their hatred for the Infinite Star Sea.
Of course, if you buy the female slaves and abuse them, then our trading company cannot guarantee that they will not hate you.”
Hearing this explanation, Chen Daoxuan was slightly relieved.
Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed. The major immortal clans in the Infinite Star Sea would not have thought of the problems that he could think of. Since they dared to buy female slaves from the Yun Nation to reproduce, it proved that there would be no lingering problems if they bought female slaves from the Yun Nation.
“Your slaves are good, but the price is too high.” Chen Daoxuan smiled bitterly.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, you must be joking.”
The slave trading company’s manager smiled and said,” The latest batch of slaves from the Yun Nation’s battlefield hasn’t been delivered yet, so the price of slaves has increased slightly.
Moreover, the female slaves you want are of the highest grade here. They are all young female slaves who are not even twenty years old and are very beautiful. One spirit stone for one is really not expensive.”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper continued to promote,” We also have cheap female slaves here, but they are all old and weak, and their fertility is not good. You can only buy these female slaves as servants at home, and the price is a hundred times lower.”
Seeing that the shopkeeper still wanted to promote young and strong male slaves who could help the family farm, Chen Daoxuan shook his head.” Our Chen family only wants female slaves!”
“Alright!”
The shopkeeper looked regretful at first, but then he quickly nodded.” We’ll help you transport the 10,000 female slaves from the Yun Nation to your slave transporting boat within three days.
Our trading company guarantees that every female slave you buy is clean and healthy. Please rest assured of our trading company’s reputation, Fellow Daoist Chen.”
Chen Daoxuan could rest assured about this. If he had bought the kind of female slaves that offered a buy one get one free deal, his slave trading company would have been torn down long ago. He wouldn’t have had to operate in Guang ‘an Prefecture for so long.
After negotiating the purchase of the female slaves from the Yun Nation and paying the deposit to the slave trading company, the next step was to wait for the slave trading company to transport the female slaves to the slave transporting boats.
Naturally, the Chen Clan was keeping an eye on these matters. Thirteenth Uncle Chen Xianhe was also in charge of the flying sword shop.
These few days, he, the Chen Clan’s Young Clan Leader, had a rare moment of complete leisure.
When people were free, they wanted to find something to do.
Perhaps it was because of the Water Spirit Pearl and the Wind Thunder Array Disk he had bought at the wandering cultivator market, or perhaps it was because of what the man surnamed Sun had said yesterday when he sold the treasure map of the God Jue Immortal Abode.
Looking at the bustling wandering cultivator market, Chen Daoxuan felt some anticipation in his heart.
Walking in the bustling wandering cultivator market.
Chen Daoxuan strolled around one stall after another.
It had to be said that he was completely lucky when he bought the Water Spirit Pearl and the Wind Lightning Array Disk last time.
In reality.
Most of the things sold in front of the wandering cultivator stalls in the wandering cultivator market were rubbish.
They were either incomplete magic tools or damaged talismans. Chen Daoxuan even saw people selling useless pills that had been refined. They were not afraid of eating people to death.
After seeing the treasures in the Zhou Auction House in the central business district, the trash here was really hard to catch Chen Daoxuan’s eye.
“Hmm?”
He stopped in front of a stall set up by a ninth qi layer cultivator.
Looking at the dazzling array of sundries on the other party’s stall, Chen Daoxuan squatted down and said, “”Fellow Daoist, how much is this thing of yours?”
