Um? !
I frowned slightly and turned my head to look.
I saw a woman covered in a wide black robe, standing not far from me. Behind him were several similarly dressed people - obviously followers or subordinates. Because they didn't speak, it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
The woman's black robe is the kind with a one-piece hood that covers the part above her nose. But the part exposed outside the hood and below the nose is also invisible - because she is probably wearing a whole mask!
I muttered in my mind.
"What kind of shameful identity? She came to the ghost market and covered her whole body so tightly. Moreover, she was actually willing to pay one million or equivalent materials in exchange for this thing. Could it be that she also saw something?"
At the same time, I spoke directly.
"I'm sorry, madam, Brother Xia has already sold this thing to me. I'm about to pay for it and deliver it! You're a little late."
However, this woman ignored me at all. She just faced the stall owner and spoke again in a soft and charming voice that was also mysterious and cold.
"I'll pay you two million, and you sell it to me."
"this……"
The stall owner's expression immediately hesitated, and his eyes became a little tangled.
The woman shrouded in black robe continued.
"This is your thing, you can sell it to whomever you want. This is completely your freedom, and you don't need anyone to kidnap you morally. Right?"
Good guy!
I just call him good guy.
This mysterious woman is also very eccentric - what she meant in her words was that if the stall owner kept his promise and sold to me, wouldn't it be equivalent to moral kidnapping?
I immediately snorted and spoke.
"Boss Xia, if that's the case, then I'll also pay two million! If the price is the same, I'll do it on a first-come, first-served basis, and you've already agreed to sell it to me. I won't let you suffer a loss, is that okay?"
"this……"
Just when the stall owner was about to agree, the woman's soft and demonic voice came out from behind the hood and mask again.
"five million!"
Damn it!
My face darkened.
It was obvious that this woman definitely knew the origin of this rusty piece of iron—or at least knew what it was and what it was used for.
Otherwise, she and I have no enmity or enmity, and it is impossible for her to deliberately run against me. Then it must be for the purpose of the rusty iron piece itself.
However, I unexpectedly got ahead of him.
I said solemnly.
"This fellow Taoist, although he says there is freedom of buying and selling, he also insists on a first-come, first-served basis, right? Boss Xia has already agreed to sell it to me."
The woman in black robe turned around and faced me.
Although she was completely covered by the black robe and mask, I had the feeling that her eyes were watching me from behind the hood and mask.
Then he chuckled with some disdain and said.
"Again, fair play."
I gritted my teeth.
"Then I'll also pay five million!"
Five million in cash, I definitely won't be able to get it out anytime soon.
But I have no shortage of cultivation materials of equal value such as spells, elixirs, spiritual stones, and elixirs.
When I came to Shencheng from Chongqing to study at university a few months ago, I picked out many useful things from the things my master left me and brought them with me.
The equivalent of five million is still very easy.
However, the item that the stall owner originally asked for 500,000 yuan was forcibly raised to ten times the price. Still a little sore.
After all, although this thing can react with the star blade, and it can be placed in the coffin as the only burial object by the prince of the Liao Kingdom in ancient times, it must be extraordinary.
But if it is the same as the weird stone in Yang Bai's hand, although it can react with my clear and turbid Qi, it will have no effect in my hand. It's still a little depressing to put it there like a vase.
The mysterious woman spoke again.
"Ten million!"
At this time, the stall owner was a little scared.
Although, he can be regarded as a small "family" of folk cultivators, and the money accumulated by his ancestors from robbing tombs and selling them must be quite a lot.
The main thing is that something that was originally expected to cost 500,000 yuan is now priced at 10 million yuan!
This sudden change is still very shocking.
I think, if he wasn't really eager to sell all the items he got from his ancestors' tomb robberies, he might not even want to sell them if he robbed this mysterious woman from me and it would be obvious that they were real treasures...
My heart skipped a beat and I gritted my teeth.
"I'll also pay 10 million!"
The Star Blade is my most important magic weapon, and it is also one of my main powerful attack methods during the battle. If this thing can really make the Star Blade more powerful, it would be worth spending 10 million or equivalent supplies!
"Then I will add..."
The mysterious woman wanted to increase the price, but a mean and mocking voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her words.
"Yo yo yo, where did you come from, a rich man who doesn't understand the rules? Why, it's great to be rich, but you use money to hit people, right? Be careful that Mr. Bird hits you with bird droppings."
Obviously, Madoka who was wandering around just now is back!
I turned around and saw Hu Xiaoyue and Xiaoyuan walking towards this side...
The mysterious woman seemed a little angry at Madoka's scolding, and subconsciously raised her hand - probably wanting to attack. But he should have realized that this is a ghost market, and you can't fight at will.
So I let it go again.
The soft voice became a little cold and stiff.
"so what?"
Madoka flew in mid-air, constantly circling, and then the sound rang in the minds of the people around her.
"If I remember correctly, ghost markets generally have a rule. That is, if there is a dispute over the right to purchase the same item, and the stall owner is hesitant and doesn't know who to sell to, you can use Want to Buy The two sides will openly fight in the ring to determine the ownership of the items. Hey, do you dare?"
I see!
When I heard what Xiao Yuan said, I felt that it made some sense.
Then he looked at the stall owner.
"Brother Xia, what do you think? In this way, you don't have to be embarrassed. Anyway, we both paid 10 million. Your gain is the same. Who can buy this thing in the end? Let me and this person Female Taoist friends, let’s compete.”
The stall owner seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously.
"It's so good, it's so good. I, Lao Xia, am not a greedy person. Since the things left by my ancestors are so valuable and have attracted the love of two Taoist friends with such advanced cultivation, I am also happy for my ancestors. . I don’t want 10 million, just 5 million. The two of you can decide who to sell to in the end according to the rules of the ghost market and have an open battle."
As he spoke, he stepped back.
I have to say that this stall owner is a wise man!
Whether it is touching the golden captain or picking up the Yin Po, the actual combat effectiveness is not very high. He could feel that this mysterious woman and I were both very powerful, and we had already gotten angry with each other. There was no need to antagonize us just to make more money...
If we let this matter be resolved by ourselves, whoever buys it in the end will be grateful to him.
"Okay, I agree."
The mysterious woman nodded, and her eyes hidden behind the hood and mask seemed to be looking at me again.
Not to be outdone, I looked back.
"I know you are definitely better than me, but the rules for resolving disputes in the public arena of Ghost City are that you must maintain the same level of cultivation. If you are stronger, then please lower your level of cultivation to the same level as mine."
