"Fine, that’s no problem."
Zhu Fei grinned casually, then his expression suddenly changed as if he had rembered sothing, and he continued to question Gui Yanping,
"By the way, Manager Gui, I almost forgot to ask, how much did you offer Master Canghai for the acquisition?"
At the ntion of Zhu Fei’s question, Gui Yanping’s unease grew stronger.
He subconsciously wanted to inflate the price, however, when he inadvertently t the indifferent gaze of Tianxing Venerable in the high sky, a shiver ran through him for no reason.
It felt as though all his thoughts were laid bare under Tianxing Venerable’s scrutiny, making him dare not entertain such ideas anymore.
Struggling to swallow his saliva, his voice turned sowhat dry, "Five... five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins."
"What? Five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins?"
Ouyang Ming’s face darkened with rage upon hearing the acquisition price reported by Gui Yanping.
He turned to Master Canghai with an icy tone,
"Master Canghai, are you sure you weren’t playing gas with Wantong Comrce? Otherwise, why would you refuse our offer of five thousand High Grade Spirit Veins and insist on selling to Qinghai Immortal Island?"
"Whoa―"
Suddenly, Ouyang Ming’s words caused a stir among the crowd.
It turned out that Wantong Comrce and Qinghai Immortal Island had offered exactly the sa price for the acquisition.
No wonder Ouyang Ming couldn’t contain his anger; Master Canghai’s actions were akin to a slap in the face to Wantong Comrce.
Zhu Fei hadn’t expected his spur-of-the-mont question to yield such a result.
He couldn’t help but smirk lightly and then patted Ouyang Ming’s shoulder, chuckling,
"Brother Ouyang, it’s just a re Blood Blossom Crystal, not worth getting angry over. Look, how does this Blood Blossom Crystal compare to the one you saw before?"
While speaking, Zhu Fei took out a red crystal as small as a pellet from his person.
The sight of the red crystal quieted the entire scene for a mont.
Ouyang Ming was particularly stirred up, his eyes glued to the Blood Blossom Crystal in Zhu Fei’s hand, filled with ecstatic joy.
"Zhu... Zhu Fei, you actually have a Blood Blossom Crystal!"
At this point, perhaps realizing sothing, Ouyang Ming’s face betrayed a hint of embarrassnt.
He rubbed his hands together, looking at Zhu Fei with a hint of anticipation,
"Zhu Fei, can I, um, take a closer look at your item?"
Zhu Fei gave a slight smile and casually handed the Blood Blossom Crystal to Ouyang Ming,
"Brother Ouyang, feel free to look. I was planning to sell this Blood Blossom Crystal to your comrce, anyway. My earlier comnt was just because I couldn’t stand certain people’s behavior."
As Ouyang Ming took the Blood Blossom Crystal from Zhu Fei, a flash of gratitude crossed his eyes.
As a mber of the Elder Council of Wantong Comrce, Ouyang Ming was no fool.
He knew very well that Zhu Fei’s earlier actions were all just to support him, Ouyang Ming.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ming couldn’t help but look at Zhu Fei with gratitude once again, nodding his head and then carefully examining the Blood Crystal in front of him.
While Ouyang Ming was feeling excited, the expressions on the faces of Gui Yanping and Master Canghai across from him had already beco extrely unsightly.
They weren’t fools; naturally, they could tell from the Blood Crystal Zhu Fei had just presented that it was no fake, the only difference being its quality.
Considering Zhu Fei’s previous behavior, it wasn’t hard for the two of them to guess that Zhu Fei had dug a big pit for them to fall into.
With this thought, the looks they gave Zhu Fei were imdiately filled with endless resentnt.
"Heh, the sect has now presented the Blood Crystal, I wonder if the two of you have anything else to say?"
Zhu Fei wore a mocking smile, but before Gui Yanping and the others could speak, Zhu Fei continued, "However, there’s no need to rush now, the Blood Crystals that I demand to sell to Wantong Comrce are not limited to this one alone."
"What! Brother Zhu Fei, are you saying that you have more than just this one Blood Crystal on you?"
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Ouyang Ming, whose gaze had returned to Zhu Fei, couldn’t help but beco excited again.
Even Gui Yanping and Master Canghai couldn’t hide a touch of shock on their faces.
Everyone knew that it wasn’t difficult to slay an ordinary Blood Demon in the Blood-colored Wilderness, but the probability of obtaining a Blood Crystal from one was extrely small.
Yet now, Zhu Fei had more than just one Blood Crystal on him—where on earth had he gotten them? Could it be that he had also gone to slay a Blood Demon Tide?
Little did they know, the hypothesis in Gui Yanping and Master Canghai’s minds was actually close to the truth.
Zhu Fei suddenly flipped his hand and a Blood Crystal the size of a pellet was once again revealed in his palm.
However, before the onlookers could react, his other hand also flipped over, and another Blood Crystal, the size of a goose egg, appeared in his palm.
The reappearance of the two Blood Crystals imdiately stunned everyone present.
Especially the one the size of a goose egg; its volu alone indicated that its value was far beyond their imagination.
"Gulp—"
Many people couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. They truly hadn’t expected Zhu Fei to be so generous. To part with three Blood Crystals in one go, his luck was too good to be true.
Gui Yanping was even more envious, his eyes greedily fixed on the three Blood Crystals Zhu Fei passed to Ouyang Ming. Just as he was about to say sothing based on this, Tianxing Venerable, from high above, suddenly looked towards him.
"Elder Gui, now that Master Zhu has brought out what he should have according to your words, it would seem that the one who has violated the market rules here isn’t him, but you and Canghai, right?"
"Tian... Tianxing Venerable, this...?"
In an instant, Gui Yanping felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He was acutely aware of the severe consequences that being deed as having violated the market rules would entail.
Even if Tianxing Venerable wouldn’t actually kill him for it, expelling him from the market was certainly going to happen.
Recalling the Island Master’s instructions before he ca here, Gui Yanping couldn’t help but feel increasingly terrified.
He wanted to say sothing more, but at that mont, Tianxing Venerable clearly had no intention of wasting further words with him, as she said in a faint voice:
"Gui Yanping, Master Canghai, since you both have unjustly broken the market rules, I now order that you be expelled from the market. Do you have any objections?"
