Xinghe Sect is located on the top of Taihang Mountain, on Wangfeng Cliff. The wind blows in the forest, the clouds hide on the cliffs, and you can see frost and snow in winter.
Walking along the mountain road, Zhang Qingyuan tied the horse directly on the road halfway, because it was really difficult to go up further. If he didn't go right away, he couldn't let the horse ride on his neck.
Baolai and Lingdang finally got rid of their respective owners and could spend time alone.
While climbing the mountain, several people chatted, especially Zhang Qingyuan who asked Chen Ling'er what happened after she found her father.
It turned out that when she went out to look for her father secretly, her mother was worried about her and chased her out of the house. Later, the mother and daughter met in Nanyang County and found Chen Jianghai.
After finding it, Chen Ling'er said that after finally getting out, the family of three might as well travel around the world, so they went around until they heard the news that Murong Qian was getting married.
"By the way, where's Li Xiaodong? Didn't you two go together?"
"Him?" Chen Ling'er shook her head and said, "He left after being defeated by Yang Chen. I think he was quite disappointed. He said he wanted to go home and practice in seclusion."
Zhang Qingyuan nodded.
"After all, my family is one of the four major villas. The young villa owner can't even beat a fledgling boy, which is really embarrassing. He also told me not to let me tell you the news that he lost.
But when I think about it, there is no need for me to tell you, everyone in the world has already known it. "
"That's true."
Thinking back to that gentle and gentle young man, how impressive he was when he appeared.
Such a genius must be very high-spirited, but he never thought that he would stumble as soon as he went out. If he had a bad attitude, he would be depressed to death.
"That's right Qiu Ran." Zhang Qingyuan suddenly had an idea.
"Huh?" Li Qiuran looked at him doubtfully.
"Li Xiaodong is the young master of Hidden Sword Villa. Hidden Sword Villa likes to collect famous swords in the world. We can go see him later and sell the Starlight Sword to his family. With their family's power, they must be able to sell it for a good price. "
Li Qiuran nodded, as if he was entirely at Zhang Qingyuan's disposal.
After all, the sword in their hands was of no use except for decoration.
As soon as the two of them finished their discussion, Chen Jianghai and Lu Xuefeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
The news of Zhang Qingyuan's defeat of Yang Chen has spread to the world, and they also know it.
Just below, they noticed the star sword hanging immediately from the bell, and they were extremely envious.
However, Zhang Qingyuan was both a lifesaver and a master of martial arts, so he didn't have the nerve to ask.
Now when they heard that they didn't want it and wanted to sell it for money, Chen Jianghai and Lu Xuefeng immediately became interested.
After a simple treatment, Lu Xuefeng's injuries were almost healed. He hurriedly leaned over and said, "Daozhang Zhang, may I ask if you...are you planning to sell the Starlight Sword?"
He didn't know how to ask. In the world of martial arts, if someone gets hold of the most precious treasures of magic weapons or martial arts secrets, they will treasure them tightly and hide and practice secretly.
This is the first time I heard that someone got the sword and wanted to sell it for money.
"What, Mr. Lu wants to bid?" Zhang Qingyuan asked.
Lu Xuefeng nodded frantically, "To be honest, the sect in my family is getting weaker and weaker, and young talents always want to become apprentices in those famous sects, which makes my parents worry all day long.
If the Taoist priest wants to sell it, I will come up with some silver to buy it. Firstly, it will revitalize my family's sect, and secondly, it can also make my parents happy and show some filial piety. "
Just say you want it, there are so many reasons.
Zhang Qingyuan asked with a smile: "How much money does Mr. Lu want to spend to revitalize your sect?"
Lu Xuefeng stretched out a finger tremblingly and looked at him tentatively.
"Ten thousand taels?" Zhang Qingyuan asked.
"One thousand taels..." he replied weakly.
"Sister Ling'er, let's talk about the boyfriend of your dreams. If you really want to marry that handsome boy, I think you should improve your temperament first."
Lu Xuefeng froze in place in embarrassment, still holding out one finger.
Chen Jianghai snorted and passed by him. After a while, two Xiaoyao disciples came forward and woke him up.
Lu Xuefeng said blankly: "What does Taoist Master Qingyuan mean?"
The disciple explained: "The price is low."
"ah?"
Are you kidding me, one thousand taels?
Why did I say that I wanted to sell the Starlight Sword to the Hidden Sword Villa? Wasn’t it because I wanted to get acquainted with him?
Since Zhang Qingyuan was not familiar with him, there was no need to be polite to him.
Lu Xuefeng was left messy in the wind.
After taking a few steps, Chen Jianghai walked forward with a smile on his face.
The facial features are squeezed together like a blooming daisy.
He rubbed his hands together, walked to Zhang Qingyuan and said, "Taoist Master Qingyuan."
"Senior, what's the matter?"
"Hey, what do you call me, senior? I have so many points."
He was smiling all over his face. Chen Ling'er on the side was extremely disgusted and quickly retreated to her mother's side, expressing that she was not familiar with this person.
"You and Ling'er are friends. If you don't mind, just call me uncle. We are both sons and daughters of the world. We need to get closer and closer in the future."
Zhang Qingyuan squinted his eyes and said bluntly: "Uncle, if you have any questions, please speak up. There is no need to be so polite."
"My good nephew speaks quickly and is indeed a person who can do great things."
Chen Jianghai clapped his hands in praise, and then continued: "That's right, didn't you say you wanted to sell the Starlight Sword?
It is better to take advantage of others than to take advantage of one's own family. Is your nephew ever willing? "
Zhang Qingyuan looked at Li Qiuran, but the girl remained silent, and then said: "Since uncle wants the Starlight Sword, it's easy to talk to him."
Chen Jianghai was overjoyed immediately, and before he was happy, Zhang Qingyuan said again: "We don't speak the same language. Sister Ling'er and I are friends. It's better to sell to a friend than to an outsider.
Just how much can uncle bid? "
Chen Jianghai thought about Zhang Qingyuan's unhesitating rejection just after Lu Xuefeng's bid, and tentatively stretched out two fingers.
Just as he stretched out his finger, he stared at Zhang Qingyuan's expression and saw that his brows were about to furrow, so he quickly stretched out another finger.
"Three...five thousand taels!"
"Qiu Ran, I just remembered that if there is any problem after we go up the mountain later, you should hide behind me."
…
Five thousand taels is not enough?
Seeing him like this, Chen Jianghai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm not satisfied with this number. We can discuss it again."
Zhang Qingyuan smiled and wanted to use emotion to build relationships. Everything would be easy if the money was in place.
"What did your uncle say? The price is negotiable. In one sentence, ten thousand taels of silver, you take the Starlight Sword!"
Zhang Qingyuan came to his side and said seductively: "Ten thousand taels is definitely a conscientious price. If it weren't for Ling'er's sake, I wouldn't sell it if someone gave me 20,000 taels."
"Ten thousand..."
Chen Jianghai gritted his teeth, the price was definitely too high.
Ten thousand taels is enough to buy a three-bedroom house in a good location.
A sword is exchanged for a house, this price...
"Okay, thank you for your love, nephew!" Chen Jianghai couldn't resist the temptation of the Starlight Sword.
This price is not low, but it is not high either. Zhang Qingyuan's psychological price is this, and it will be the same price if he sells it to Hidden Sword Villa.
If they don't want it, the worst they can do is auction it. There are many heroes who want the Starlight Sword to turn over. If they really want to auction it, the price of 20,000 taels is probably not the limit.
Don't forget, Zhang Qingyuan could buy 960,000 jins of grain with 4,800 taels of silver, and about 2 million jins of grain with 10,000 taels of silver.
Put it this way, ten thousand taels seems like a lot.
But if you think about it carefully, in the previous life, one pound of rice cost three yuan, and two million pounds cost six to seven million yuan.
Six to seven million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for those rich, it is just money to buy a luxury product...
This damn wealth gap!
Of course, what Zhang Qingyuan sells is not a luxury product. After all, the Starlight Sword is not a decoration. If you really want to practice it, it will definitely be an artifact that can change your life.
After agreeing on the price, several people also walked to the gate of Xinghe Sect Mountain.
Step on the steps and look up.
Zhao Pengju, the head of the Xinghe Sect, was already holding his sword and leading a group of disciples to take a stance at the door.
Before Zhang Qingyuan could say anything, Zhao Pengju said: "Zhang Qingyuan, I have been waiting for you for a long time. You must die!"
Zhang Qingyuan was a little surprised when he saw his reaction. Was he not even pretending?
Zhao Pengju was forced to do so. His involvement in the Four Tigers of Taihang had been exposed. If he wanted to continue to preserve his reputation, he had to kill them to silence them.
He also knew the purpose of Zhang Qingyuan's coming here. It was all because of the matter at Yunchen Villa, and the two of them had a tacit understanding.
Therefore, if any of the two reasons are used, it is impossible to be good, so what is the use of so many words.
Just do it!
