Chapter 3754 4.1354 Open Robbery

"Little girl, these medicinal ingredients you want, eight portions are quite expensive, you know," the old man said with a smile, looking at her.

"And I only have two portions on hand. If you want eight portions, I'll probably need a day to have someone procure them."

"Then just give me two portions first," Qiao Mu said indifferently.

The old man chuckled. "Two portions of medicinal ingredients, six thousand spirit coins."

Qi Xuanxuan couldn't help but gasp. This old man was really something, selling two portions of ingredients for refining the Unsealing Pill for an exorbitant price of six thousand spirit coins.

Qiao Mu didn't waste any more words with him. She nodded and looked at Cao Shudai beside her.

The bookworm had a pained expression but didn't hesitate. Seeing Qiao Mu look at him, he took out his pouch and started pulling out money.

After counting six thousand spirit coins, the bookworm stammered, looking utterly honest, "Th-this, honored elder, the money, the money is all here. Please, please prepare the materials for us."

"Alright," the old man said, happily nodding as he collected the coins on the counter.

"Please wait two minutes; I'll go get the medicinal ingredients now. Oh, by the way, do you still want the other six portions? If you do, I can give you a discount."

"What's the discount?" Little Fatty asked with a pained expression.

"Nine point nine percent off!"

Everyone: ...

You old scoundrel, do you have no shame?!

If we weren't too lazy to wander aimlessly in Phoenixwood Forest searching for medicinal ingredients, would we let you, this greedy old fellow, profit like this?

Everyone's gazes turned towards Lord Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Mu's gaze, however, was directed straight at the bookworm's money pouch. "Is it enough?"

Cao Shudai nodded painfully.

Qiao Mu turned to the old man. "Prepare the remaining six portions of medicinal ingredients. We'll pick them up at this time tomorrow."

"Alright!" The old man was very straightforward in taking money and doing business. "Little girl, don't worry. At this time tomorrow, this old man will definitely have the other six portions ready. I guarantee it won't delay your time!"

Qiao Mu nodded slightly.

Suddenly, a fair hand reached out and "slapped" the counter in front of the old man. "We'll take these two portions of medicinal ingredients. Here's seven thousand spirit coins for you."

The old man's eyes instantly lit up. He put down the half-counted spirit coins on the counter and looked up, following the fair hand, to see a heavily made-up woman with her head adorned with hairpins and golden ornaments.

Qi Xuanxuan turned to look, her little nose almost twisted in anger. "Princess Xiangchang, are you sick? Didn't you see that we already bought these medicinal ingredients?"

"The shopkeeper hasn't even brought out the items yet, so how can they be yours? Let the shopkeeper decide. Haven't you heard of the principle of the highest bidder wins?"

"Ah, that's right. People like you, who come from the Middle Realm, rarely experience medicinal ingredient auctions, right?"

"I'm going to bid against you right now. Are you afraid to accept?" Princess Xiangchang arrogantly lifted her chin, a challenging smile on her face.

Qiao Mu stared at her with a cold gaze.

How could this Princess Xiangchang be so annoying?

Before, when she was a little ferret, this woman wouldn't even let a ferret like her off the hook!

Now, she was still coming to bother her. She really must be tired of living.

If it weren't for the academy's clear rule against seriously injuring fellow students, she would have long ago fed her a Divine Power Ball to completely get rid of this pest.

"What do you say?" Qiao Mu's cold gaze shifted to the old man with the strange smile.
