"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"
Xi Kang frowned. Since he couldn't see through Lu Li's cultivation at a glance, then the person in front of him was at least in the same realm as him, or someone who had practiced some kind of secret method. He couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.
"I heard that you are looking for the Ghost Fruit." As he spoke, Lu Li glanced at the room behind Xi Kang, but did not find the young Jin Peng.
"Your Excellency has ghost fruit!"
Xi Kang looked happy when he heard this. Although he was just an external protector, he only had to protect Jin Peng from death. If he could help Jin Peng find the ghost fruit, he would definitely be rewarded.
"Isn't it appropriate to talk here?" Lu Li smiled.
"Uh, fellow Taoist, please come in." Xi Kang's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and greeted Lu Li into the room.
Lu Li was not polite and walked in with his hands behind his back. He glanced around the room vaguely as he walked, and then sat down at the table. After Xi Kang sat down, he said, "I heard that Taoist friend is a child of the Jin family." The person who protects the young master?”
"That's true. Fellow Taoist, let's talk about the ghost fruit." Xi Kang nodded and admitted, but he didn't seem to want to get entangled in this issue and immediately changed the subject.
Then he continued: "You should understand that the price offered by the Jin family is already quite impressive. If you really have the ghost fruit, now is definitely the best time to make a move."
"Of course, if you, fellow Taoist, have any other requirements, you can put them forward. As long as the goods are available, everything can be easily discussed."
There were not many strong local earth immortals in the Nanhuang Immortal Realm, and Lu Li was very nervous. He guessed that Lu Li was most likely from other immortal realms.
After all, the first level of the sky is vast, and there are countless immortal realms, large and small. Some people like to wander around the major immortal realms, so it is not strange to see some strange and powerful people.
"Oh? Then, please, fellow Taoist, please help me clear up my doubts and tell me what the Jin family's intention is in acquiring the Ghost Fruit? I'm very curious about this matter?" Lu Li raised his eyelids upon hearing this, with a curious look on his face. road.
"Your Excellency, asking this question is a bit too much." Xi Kang frowned, feeling slightly unhappy.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, didn't you say that any conditions can be negotiated?" Lu Li smiled lightly, not angry.
"The conditions I mentioned refer to the price. Fellow Taoist, you don't understand. This is a very taboo question, right?" Xi Kang said coldly, feeling that Lu Li was too ignorant. Can he ask such a question casually? .
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xi Kang finished speaking, Lu Li stood up and slightly cupped his hands, "Okay, in that case, I'll take my leave."
"Fellow Taoist, wait!"
Xi Kang didn't expect Lu Li to be so difficult to speak. Seeing that Lu Li left without any hesitation, his face changed slightly and he hurriedly stood up: "Fellow Taoist, do you really have the Ghost Fruit?"
"Maybe, maybe not. The key depends on what you decide, Fellow Daoist Xi." Lu Li looked at Xi Kang with a half-smile.
"Fellow Taoist, you are really insufferable."
Xi Kang shook his head speechlessly, sighed and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. How about you wait a moment, fellow Taoist, and let me invite Mr. Jin to come over and discuss it with you?"
"Fellow Daoist Xi, please excuse me." Lu Li said and sat down again.
"Why!"
Xi Kang rubbed his forehead with a headache, stood up and walked outside.
Lu Li tapped the table and waited quietly. He did this naturally because he wanted to test the Jin family's bottom line to determine whether the Ghost Fruit was really as he suspected, and it would be of great help to Jin Peng and could be sold at a high price.
But it is a pity that Xi Kang seems to be unable to be the head of the Jin family, so he can only talk to the young master of the Jin family.
After a while, Xi Kang came back, but to Lu Li's surprise, there was no one behind Xi Kang, and he couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Xi Kang.
Xi Kang smiled apologetically and sat down opposite Lu Li, "Master Jinpeng is practicing and will come from time to time. Please wait for a while, fellow Taoist."
Suddenly something occurred to him, and he said: "By the way, fellow Taoist, Mr. Jin rarely goes out on weekdays, so he has a somewhat stubborn personality. If he is offended by his words, I hope fellow Taoist will not take it seriously..."
To put it bluntly, he has never seen the world, has a bad character, and is used to self-righteousness.
If this situation were in Linyuan City, it would not be a big problem. With the reputation of the Jin family, there must be very few people who would not give the Jin family face, but this is the ancient forbidden fairyland. If some casual cultivators are offended, they will not do it. It would definitely give the Jin family face, so Xi Kang had to confess first and give Lu Li a vaccination.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I'm here to negotiate a deal, not to cause trouble..." Lu Li said with a smile. To be honest, he has never seen many arrogant people like Jin Peng until now.
And from Lu Li's point of view, calling him arrogant is already a compliment to Jinpeng. It might be more appropriate to call him "idiot" because no normal person would offend someone who is not an enemy for no reason and bring hatred to himself in vain.
While the two were talking, Jin Peng finally came over.
Wearing white clothes, he walked with his hands behind his back and his head raised high as if he wanted someone to help him count his nose hairs, leaving Lu Li secretly speechless.
I don’t know what I was doing before, but at this time, there was still a blush on my childish face, and there were some beads of sweat on my brow, as if I had just done some strenuous exercise.
"Are you going to trade with me?" When he came two feet away from the table, Jin Peng finally lowered his proud head and looked at Lu Li coldly and asked.
"Sir, this fellow Taoist is another powerful person from the Immortal Realm. He came to you specifically to discuss the Ghost Fruit..." Xi Kang frowned secretly and stood up in a hurry to remind him that this person in front of him is not simple.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Little friend Jin Peng, how about you sit down and talk?"
Jin Peng sat down expressionlessly upon hearing this, "I don't have much time, let's take out the ghost fruit and have a look."
Judging from his tone, it was as if he had given Lu Li a huge amount of face by being able to come over.
It's no wonder that Jin Peng is like this. Even though he is over 800 years old now, he actually spends most of his time on cultivation.
Whenever you leave seclusion, you will be surrounded by stars, and you will be surrounded by family members, just like stars holding the moon. You will feel that the world is revolving around you. As time goes by, you will naturally become used to being arrogant about everything.
More importantly, he has a transcendent backer in the Jin family who can come forward to help him settle things even if he has done something too much.
Lu Li shook his head, "Let's discuss the price first."
"Price? Isn't it clearly stated in the reward notice? Five thousand low-grade immortal stones. Do you still have any dissatisfaction?" Jin Peng frowned.
"Five thousand Immortal Stones is indeed a lot, but I still have one condition." Lu Li said tapping the table.
"It's really troublesome. Tell me what the conditions are, quickly!" Jin Peng said impatiently.
"Okay, fellow Taoist Jin, I'll tell you the truth! I can sell the Ghost Fruit to you, but you have to tell me what you're going to use it for."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he looked at Jin Peng calmly and said no more words.
