Chapter 334: Luring the Snake from Its Hole
On top of the golden Carriage, it was none other than Hua Tianxiong, whom Qin Ming had previously met once on Qilin Island.
His signature fat physique and mercenary style were still quite memorable to him.
Qin Ming stared at this person, his eyes flickering, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
This person's Status and Cultivation Realm were barely acceptable, and with the backing of the Fire Palace, he was a top-notch choice for controlling Puppets.
"You're the one to use the black Talisman."
Hua Tianxiong, as the Guild Master of the Thousand Machines Trading Company, appeared in the Spirit Ruins Market, presumably also for the upcoming Five Elements Mountain Trade Fair.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming already had a plan in mind.
Half a day later.
Qin Ming came to the Thousand Secrets Pavilion located in the Market Center again, using the True Fiend Illusion to disguise himself as a Perfected Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator who had come to Sell rare Spirit Materials.
Shopkeeper Wei Hong of the Thousand Secrets Pavilion, seeing a Perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivator coming for a Trade, hurriedly came out to personally receive him.
Inside the Second Floor Room.
"This Fellow Daoist, what do you need?"
Shopkeeper Wei asked with a smile, his attitude was quite different from when Qin Ming first came.
Qin Ming said indifferently with a blank Expression: "I want to Sell a Treasure obtained from a Secret Realm, the Grade is slightly high, can you make the decision?"
"Of course, Rest Assured, Fellow Daoist, I can make the decision." Shopkeeper Wei said quickly, his eyes lighting up upon hearing that good things were coming his way.
Qin Ming smiled faintly, casually raised his hand, and an item instantly appeared on the table.
"This, this is…"
Shopkeeper Wei looked at the gray Soul Core in front of him in surprise, the Aura emanating from it had already surpassed the Second Tier.
The Aura lingering on it alone had reached the Third-Order Level, and even higher… "Forgive Shopkeeper Wei's poor Observation, I can't determine the Value of this item for a while, please Fellow Daoist rest for a moment, allow me to report to the Guild Master, and ask him to personally decide for you."
Shopkeeper Wei had just boasted, but was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye, saying with a slightly embarrassed Expression.
Qin Ming nodded, not taking it to heart.
This Soul Core belonged to the Late Stage of Rank Three Golden Toad Ancestor, and it was normal that the other party couldn't recognize it with his Cultivation Realm.
Shopkeeper Wei came to the front of the luxurious Private Room on the Seventh Floor, gently knocked on the door, and respectfully reported:
"Reporting to Guild Master, a Cultivator has just come to Sell a Treasure, I am a little unsure, please come and decide."
"Come in."
A lazy voice came from Room Interior.
Shopkeeper Wei pushed the door open and entered, but the scene inside made his face flush and his heart race.
He saw their Guild Master Hua Tianxiong, with his fat physique, hugging two scantily clad Female Cultivators, enjoying fruit very leisurely.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say." Hua Tianxiong glanced at Shopkeeper Wei impatiently.
Shopkeeper Wei's body trembled, and he quickly stepped forward and described the matter just now in detail.
Hua Tianxiong frowned upon hearing this, pushed away the two enchanting Female Cultivators, and his Expression changed.
"According to what you said, it's really interesting."
"If This Seat is not mistaken, that gray bead should be the Soul Core left behind by a Core Formation Ghostly Creatures."
"In that case, the Value is great."
"Maybe I can find a great bargain, take me over to see it."
"If it's really like this, This Seat will remember a great contribution from you!"
Hua Tianxiong immediately showed a hint of anticipation.
Shopkeeper Wei was also excited when he heard this, he didn't expect to encounter a good start on the first day of opening.
A moment later.
Qin Ming was drinking Tea when he saw Shopkeeper Wei leading Hua Tianxiong into the Room.
When he saw Hua Tianxiong for the first time, he pretended to be panicked and stepped forward to greet him: "Greetings, Senior Hua!"
"Hahaha! Little Friend, you don't need to be so polite." Hua Tianxiong was pleased with Qin Ming's attitude, waved his hand and let him sit down.
"I heard that Little Friend here has a good thing to Sell, so I came to take a look."
Qin Ming immediately took out the Soul Core and offered it.
In the next moment.
When Hua Tianxiong took the Soul Core, he was almost shocked.
'It's actually a Soul Core from the Late Stage of Rank Three!' Hua Tianxiong was knowledgeable and experienced, having been in business for most of his life, he had seen all kinds of Treasures.
But at this moment, when Hua Tianxiong saw this Soul Core, there were still monstrous waves in his heart.
Even so, as a black-hearted businessman, he still maintained his Expression very well.
Hua Tianxiong pretended to be serious, carefully observed the Soul Core for a long time before asking:
"I'll take this item, I wonder how much Little Friend plans to sell it for? Just name a price."
"Little Friend doesn't look like a local? May I ask which Sect you come from?"
Then he turned his head and shouted at Shopkeeper Wei, "Why don't you quickly change Little Friend to a pot of good Spirit Tea? What are you doing?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shopkeeper Wei was sweating profusely when he heard this, and quickly ordered someone to serve a pot of Second Tier Spirit Tea.
"For this bead, several Fellow Daoists and friends have already died, this junior plans to exchange it for a Core Forming Spirit Item, or Middle-Grade Spirit Stone of equivalent Value." Qin Ming said, pretending to be uneasy.
"This junior is just a Loose Cultivator, and has not joined any Sect."
Hua Tianxiong's smile froze when he heard this.
"Little Friend! Although this item is quite precious, it's not worth this price…"
"How about I give you two bottles of Pills to enhance and consolidate your Cultivation, plus three thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stone?"
"Then forgive this junior for not agreeing, I will ask around in other places."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go, then can This Seat add another two thousand Spirit Stone?"
"This junior only wants Core Forming Spirit Item."
Hua Tianxiong: "…"
Half an incense stick later, the two sides had not reached an agreement on the price, and parted on bad terms.
Qin Ming pretended to be in a hurry, and quickly left the Spirit Ruins Market.
Leaving the two people in the Room, the atmosphere was a bit solidified.
"What should we do, Guild Master? That kid is impervious to reason." Shopkeeper Wei asked somewhat nervously.
Hua Tianxiong was angry, and he didn't dare to provoke him.
"Damn it, can the cooked duck still fly away?"
"How can the things that Hua Tianxiong has set his eyes on escape so easily?" Hua Tianxiong's eyes were sinister, he cursed fiercely, and slapped the table in front of him into Dust.
Bang! Then his figure disappeared instantly, his Core Formation Stage Divine Sense spread out, chasing in the direction Qin Ming left.
"You go and notify the Core Formation City Patron in the Pavilion, I'll go ahead."
Shopkeeper Wei obeyed the order and hurriedly gathered manpower to follow.
Thousands of miles outside the Spirit Ruins Market.
Qin Ming's figure was flying in the Sky, looking back from time to time, with a puzzled Expression on his face.
He slowed down his flying speed.
"It shouldn't be! Could it be that the fishing failed?"
"Why hasn't Hua Tianxiong chased after me yet?"
"Could it be that I flew too fast?"
"He is a dignified Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he shouldn't be so slow, right?"
Just as Qin Ming was thinking, suddenly his powerful Divine Sense sensed a figure chasing after him rapidly.
He pretended to be panicked and flew towards a Mountain Range nearby.
"Still want to run?"
"Hahaha!"
"A toast is not accepted, so you will be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Whoosh! A purple rainbow flashed by and stopped in front of Qin Ming, revealing Hua Tianxiong's fat figure.
"Hurry up and hand over the Soul Core obediently, This Seat can spare your life."
"But now, the price will be reduced by half."
Qin Ming's Expression was calm, he curled his lips and chuckled: "Oh? Really?"
Boom! Following this, a Mid Core Formation Stage Spiritual Pressure was released!
