Chapter 312: Chapter 304: Obtaining the Secret Method
Translator: 549690339
“This… when I first consigned it to Treasure Pavilion, the staff there had mentioned that this ‘Purple Sky Meditation Skill’ might very likely be a secret technique from some sect that had fallen into the outside world.”
“As it happens, I obtained it by a stroke of luck, and now, besides myself, there is no one else who has learned it.”
“This jade slip is the original, so after my fellow Daoist purchases it, it can be freely passed on to your future generations, without any worry.”
“Thus, it is quite accurate to call it a secret technique, because the only people who will know this technique are myself and the one who ends up buying it.”
“Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I have a contract with Treasure Pavilion. Once the transaction is completed, I will no longer be able to pass on this secret technique to anyone.”
“Furthermore, as it can evade divine sense explorations after being mastered, its concealment effect is outstanding, proving to be extremely useful for fleeing or hiding oneself.”
“It belongs to the realm of secret techniques that ordinary loose cultivators would never have access to.”
“Therefore, the value of this technique is quite high. If it falls into the hands of someone who truly needs it, they might very well be willing to pay tens of thousands of spirit stones.”
As he spoke the price he had in mind, the slightly nervous gaze of Master Chang Kong landed on He Song and Master Yun Jing.
Although he said that, deep in his heart, Master Chang Kong couldn’t help but feel somewhat uneasy.
After all, the identities of the two people before him were far from ordinary.
Although the price of tens of thousands of spirit stones had been quoted by the Treasure Pavilion’s staff in the beginning,
Given their extraordinary status, even if he did not inflate the price, he still felt apprehensive.
What if the two people find his quoted price too high?
Keep in mind,
This Treasure Pavilion, after all, belongs to them.
Although he himself is a Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, there is a Golden Elixir Master guarding the Treasure Pavilion.
Besides, that Golden Elixir Master is the master of the present Master Yun Jing.
If a conflict arises because of this, what should he do if he is inconvenienced?
However, after considering it, Master Chang Kong’s heart relaxed a bit.
Guarantee is well known on ordinary days in this Treasure Pavilion, and today Master Yun Jing invited him here to negotiate in good faith. Moreover, he provided tea and seating and didn’t do anything outrageous.
It seems likely that, as Master Yun Jing said, this matter was just an impulsive idea to buy the mana formula from him.
As for danger, it probably doesn’t exist.
He is quoting a normal price now, and if they accept, it’s naturally very good; They can proceed directly to the transaction.
If they can’t accept, then it is what it is. If they still want the technique, they can go and participate in the auction to compete with others. Perhaps at the auction, the price might even be lower.
Of course, the price might also be higher.
At this point, it depends on how the two people in front of him choose.
With the various thoughts flashing through his mind, Master Chang Kong’s mentality gradually calmed down, no longer as nervous as before.
In front of him,
At this moment, upon hearing the quoted price, He Song heaved a great sigh of relief.
He was determined to get his hands on the ‘Purple Sky Meditation Skill.’
Even on the way here, he hadn’t hesitated to sell his stock, accumulating more and more spirit stones on himself.
He Song now has nearly seven to eight hundred thousand spirit stones, although not yet a million.
He had prepared so many spirit stones, but the asking price was only tens of thousands of spirit stones. Although Master Chang Kong didn’t mention the exact price,
Even if the price were to be sky-high, when tens of thousands are uttered, it’s unlikely to exceed two hundred thousand spirit stones.
If that’s the case,
With He Song’s current wealth, there would be no surprise in purchasing this technique. ”
“Master, please tell me the exact number of the tens of thousands of spirit stones.”
Knowing that it was time to negotiate the price with Master Chang Kong, He Song did not hesitate, and directly spoke.
Master Chang Kong’s cultivation level is in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage,
His cultivation foundation appears robust, and he isn’t a common loose cultivator. Instead, he likely has some background.
As a result, He Song did not entertain thoughts of killing him to take the technique by force.
With a cultivation level that is not far from He Song’s own and possibly not as many skills, his true strength could not be underestimated.
How could He Song, who is also at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, think of harming someone with a cultivation level similar to his?
For this reason, He Song had already decided in his heart when asking Master Chang Kong for the price.
As long as Master Chang Kong mentioned a price,
Whether it’s 199,999 spirit stones or 111,111 spirit stones, he would still frown and ponder for a while.
Then he would quote a slightly lower price, and see if Master Chang Kong would accept it.
If he accepts it, then naturally, everything is fine.
If he does not accept, he would try to haggle with him a bit more.
If the price still couldn’t be lowered, he would reluctantly agree to the transaction with Master Chang Kong’s price.
For He Song,
Haggling is a must. This is not just about the price,
But also a matter of safety.
If he makes Master Chang Kong feel that he is selling at a loss, it could lead to future resentment, which could cause trouble for him.
However, if he haggles before buying it, Master Chang Kong will definitely not think that he has lost out. Instead, he would feel that his skills were strong enough to sell the technique for a high price.”
In such a situation, which concerned human nature, He Song, thinking about his own safety, naturally had to consider this point.
And so, when Master Chang Kong quoted a price of 160,000 spirit stones.
He Song immediately frowned and, under the astonished gaze of Master Yun Jing by his side, began to bargain with Master Chang Kong.
After some negotiations, they finally agreed on the price of 160,000 spirit stones.
However, He Song could clearly perceive the joy hidden in Master Chang Kong’s heart.
Feeling Master Chang Kong’s joy, a weight in He Song’s heart naturally fell.
It appeared that from now on, Master Chang Kong wouldn’t try to make trouble for him.
Even if later on he found out that He Song’s identity was not what he thought and that He Song is a disciple of a Golden Elixir Master,
He wouldn’t come to trouble He Song because he felt that he sold at a loss.
Perhaps when that time came, he would worry about whether He Song would come to make trouble for him because He Song bought at a high price.
On the side, after He Song and Master Chang Kong finished bargaining, they exchanged money and items, and the transaction was completed.
Master Yun Jing still couldn’t recover from her astonishment.
She couldn’t understand why He Song would bargain with Master Chang Kong.
Wasn’t He Song an amulet Tao master?
Didn’t he have a considerable amount of wealth?
How could he haggle over those tens of thousands of spirit stones?
Where was the pride of an amulet Tao master?
Is bargaining really something a well-off amulet Tao master could do?
If it were her, she would definitely do the same as He Song and bargain with Master Chang Kong.
But that’s only because she’s always been in the Treasure Pavilion and has become accustomed to it.
It was just a subconscious reaction.
As disciples of the Treasure Pavilion, it was their job to do so. It was their duty.
But He Song,
As an amulet Tao master, how could he possibly develop such a habit of bargaining like her?
Although she was puzzled, Master Yun Jing didn’t ask her question publicly. Instead, she quietly watched the scene before her.
After He Song finished trading with Master Chang Kong and Master Chang Kong took his leave,
Master Yun Jing finally dismissed everyone and looked at He Song.
“My junior sister told me that Master is an amulet Tao master, who possesses substantial wealth, so I assume you wouldn’t care about such an amount of spirit stones.”
“But why…”
Pointing to where Master Chang Kong had just been, Master Yun Jing looked puzzled on her face.
Could it be that the Master Cang Song standing in front of her wasn’t an amulet Tao master?
Was the identity he presented to her sister as an amulet Tao master merely a fabrication?
“Fellow Daoist, are you asking why I bargained with him?”
He Song put the jade slip just acquired from Master Chang Kong into his storage bag, and a trace of joy flashed across his face.
However, hearing Master Yun Jing’s question, He Song immediately understood what she was asking.
He responded with a casual question.
Seeing Master Yun Jing nodding,
He Song then slowly replied.
“My status and background are far from comparable to fellow Daoist’s. I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small Golden Elixir sect without any significant background. ”
“If fellow Daoist bought it directly, it would be fine, for Master Chang Kong would never dare to cause any trouble in the Treasure Pavilion.”
“But since the jade slip was sold to me, if Master Chang Kong later feels he sold it at a loss and comes to look for trouble, what should I do?”
“Bargaining with him during the purchase will ensure that he doesn’t have such ideas afterward. ”
“At that time, he will only feel that it was a good thing that he managed to sell the jade slip at a high price to me today, otherwise, he might not have found such a big spender at the auction.”
“That’s the purpose of my bargaining with him.”
As He Song’s voice trailed off, a sudden understanding flashed in the eyes of Master Yun Jing who was standing beside him.
So that’s how it is.
So that’s how it is.
No wonder He Song, despite being an amulet Tao master and not lacking spirit stones, still bargained with Master Chang Kong.
No wonder her elder sister said in the letter that He Song was talented and virtuous, and worth making friends with.
It turns out that He Song’s style is so cautious.
Estimating risks in the future based on his own identity and the price of the purchased items,
And avoiding them when the incident was just beginning.
Such caution.
No wonder her elder sister told her to get on good terms with him and even hoped that she would befriend him as well.
It wasn’t until now that Master Yun Jing finally understood why her elder sister had specifically sent a letter to tell her to treat He Song well.
“So that’s it. Fellow Daoist’s far-sightedness and tact is truly an eye-opener for me.”
“Now that everything has been settled, ”
“Fellow Daoist, please come with me. I have prepared a feast for you today as a
welcome..
