“Hehehe, highest bidder takes it, no need to snatch or make a fuss.”
Brother Fist’s face was beaming with a smile. After waiting for so long, he finally opened for business. It was great to have a crowd; more people meant more experts to recognize good items, and consequently, more rich masters around.
The items in his hands were truly desirable, albeit limited in quantity. After a round of trading, Brother Fist was totally at ease as all his treasures were exchanged for Spirit Stones.
“Thanks a lot, Brother Ye,” Brother Fist said cheerily.
Li Xiaobai’s face turned dark; this guy’s earnings had started with medium-grade Spirit Stones and were even more than his own.
Riding on others’ popularity sure was his forte!
Right then, Li Xiaobai paid no more attention to Brother Fist. With a flick of his wrist, a mountain of resources appeared before him again. All of these were Spirit Grasses and Spiritual Medicines, tricked from others in the Divine Beast Mountain Range weeks ago; there probably wouldn’t be anyone who could recognize them.
Brother Fist was flabbergasted, “Brother Ye, you must have robbed some Sect; you’re way too rich.”
The other cultivators also nodded in agreement. The variety of Spiritual Medicines was rich indeed. The brother in front of them must have quietly transferred someone’s treasury into his Space Ring, a real ruthless guy!
“Brother, with goods like these, you could totally auction them at the Treasure Pavilion and make even more,” Brother Fist suggested. In his view, small street stalls in the Sect were for dealing in special items, and such a large quantity of resources should be auctioned by a professional organization.
“The water that I carry should not flow into others’ fields. Liangchen just wants to do something for the fellow Sect brothers,” Li Xiaobai responded indifferently.
With that comment, Brother Fist was rendered speechless, and the surrounding cultivators’ impression of him improved tremendously. Indeed, selling so many resources at cost to them was incredibly conscientious—it was practically a welfare moment. No one would dislike such a boss!
“Enough talk, Boss Ye, give me a hundred stalks of Spirit Grass!”
“I want a hundred too, wrap them up…”
“From now on, whenever Boss Ye has good stuff, whether I can afford it or not, I’ll definitely be the first to support you!”
“That’s right, wherever Boss Ye sets up his stall, I’ll definitely be there!”
The cultivators swiftly pulled out their Spirit Stones and began purchasing Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicines. Nobody would consider having too many Spiritual Medicines as they could be made into Elixirs, with their value potentially increasing more than tenfold.
Hence, just like Spirit Stones, the more Spiritual Medicines, the better.
After the transactions, another hefty sum of Spirit Stones was nervously counted, with the income in medium-grade Spirit Stones breaking a thousand.
Brother Fist felt somewhat unbalanced. He wanted to leave so as not to be upset by what he couldn’t see, but he was also reluctant to miss out on such a trade, a rare sight on ordinary days.
“Brother Ye, what else do you have that’s good? Bring it all out. None of us here are short on cash. As long as the stuff is good, we can afford any price,” said a cultivator from the growing crowd, as the road became impassable. Many cultivators in the distance thought there was a treasure being offered and couldn’t help but come over out of curiosity.
Li Xiaobai was checking the items in his Space Ring. Of course, he knew better; the really good stuff wouldn’t be sold at a street stall, but rather at a reputable institution through an auction.
The things he was selling now, though numerous, were all of relatively low grade.
Spiritual Artifacts and Spiritual Medicines were almost sold out, but there was still a special type of good left in the ring, and he wondered if anyone would buy it.
He carefully glanced at the surrounding cultivators and with a twist of his wrist, he took out a pale blue soft armor that retained a faint fragrance on its surface.
“This piece of soft armor belonged to a female cultivator of the Tianwu Sect. Although it is worn inside, its defensive power is not less than that of a high-grade Spiritual Artifact. If anyone practices water attribute Cultivation Techniques, the defensive power it unleashes can compete with a Magic Treasure,” Li Xiaobai explained.
Upon these words, all surrounding cultivators, both men and women, blushed. Many female cultivators snorted quietly, cursing Li Xiaobai in their hearts for being shameless.
However, they all wanted this close-fitting soft armor, not just the female cultivators, but also quite a few male cultivators showed interest.
The inner armor of the female disciples of Tianwu Sect had too much appeal, be it for its practicality, its aesthetics, or its… well,
Ahem, in any case, it was an item that everyone wanted.
“Brother, this inner armor is not bad, it takes into account both hardness and defensive power, and even comfort is considered, I want to buy one for my old mother,”
said a male cultivator who didn’t want to reveal his name, causing a range of dismissive glances from the other cultivators.
If you’re sleazy, just be sleazy, no need for so many excuses, we’re all adults here, we all understand.
“Shameless person!”
“Vulgar creature!”
The female cultivators collectively rolled their eyes, “Brother Ye, these stinky men obviously have ulterior motives, you can’t sell them the inner armor, I have many sisters here, how much inner armor do you have, I’ll take it all!”
“Hehe, actually not that much.”
Li Xiaobai chuckled softly, flipped his wrist, and the floor was covered with inner armors, not just for female cultivators, but also many close-fitting garments for male cultivators, all of which were Spiritual Artifacts.
The onlookers were flabbergasted, “Big bro, lay your cards on the table, which sect did you pillage?”
“The inner armor for female cultivators, ten medium-grade Spirit Stones each, and for the male cultivators, fifteen medium-grade Spirit Stones each, are you still going to take them all?”
“Um… I’ll buy ten pieces for female cultivators…”
The aforementioned female cultivator blushed red as she looked at the inner armor strewn all over the ground.
The male brethren were swallowing their saliva furiously, damn, today was quite the day, where did Brother Ruthless pop up from, even the trading of items includes a bonus round, what a power move!
“Brother Ye, give me one piece.”
“Not bad, we cultivators, we are never swayed by such mundane items, what we are looking at is its value.”
“Well said, the pure remain pure, we’re definitely not buying it because it was worn by female cultivators, the craftsmanship and fabric of this inner armor is very exquisite, and within, there are faint engravings of inscriptions, very impressive indeed.”
“Right, we cultivators, when looking at things, must see their essence, their inner quality, deep into their soul, only then can we truly appreciate the charm that emanates from them.”
“Give me two pieces…”
The cultivators kept their gaze steady, composed as upright gentlemen.
Li Xiaobai didn’t expose them but collected Spirit Stones and went through with the trades, watching the increasing number of Spirit Stones in his hand, he couldn’t help but lament that this stuff was easier to sell than Spiritual Artifacts or Spiritual Medicine, and no matter where, there was always a market.
If there were a chance in the future, he could get some famous people’s inner armor.
In the Space Ring, there remained a set of Inner Armor of Yun Mengqing from Xiao Cheng Sect, and Inner Armor of an enemy from Holy Demon Sect, all of which he had conned from the Divine Beast Mountain Range.
In the future, he could find a good location for an auction, the celebrity effect would surely fetch a good price.
Li Xiaobai was ecstatic, but just then, a voice like a drake’s came through, “The inner armor is not bad, I’ll take them all.”
