Chapter 215 An Encounter with a Shady Merchant



"Old man, do you have any ambergris here?"

Xu Xiwang stepped forward a few steps.

"Ambergris?"

The cloaked old man raised his head, revealing a pair of deep, dark eyes, and looked at Xu Xiwang and Tuoba Yanyan.

His pupils contracted slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I do have it, but I'm afraid you can't afford the price!"

The cloaked old man said indifferently.

"Any amount of money is fine, as long as you can afford it."

Xu Xiwang said with a confident expression.

"I don't sell for money, I only exchange goods."

What item?

"A miracle cure."

Elixir is a hard currency in Hell.

Although there is no spiritual energy in Hell, the effects of spiritual herbs are very obvious.

Without further ado, Xu Xiwang tossed five spirit herbs to the old man and said with a smile, "Are these five spirit herbs enough?"

The old man looked at Xu Xiwang with some surprise when he saw Xu Xiwang reach out and take out five spiritual herbs.

He had never seen such a generous person before, who gave away five spiritual medicines without even blinking an eye.

"I want ten."

The old man said calmly.

Without further ado, Xu Xiwang took out five more elixirs and gave them to the old man.

Is that enough?

"not enough."

"Then what else do you want?"

Xu Xiwang frowned.

"Twenty."

"Hey old man, you're insatiable!"

Tuoba Yan Yan couldn't help but say.

"What do you know?!"

The old man glanced at Tuoba Yan Yan and said disdainfully, "I want something suitable!"

Hearing this, Tuoba Yan Yan pouted unhappily and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Xu Xiwang sighed inwardly. She was already used to Tuoba Yan Yan's temperament. Once this young lady's temper flared up, even she couldn't handle it.

"Okay, then tell me, what kind of treasure do you want to exchange for?"

Xu looked at the old man.

This guy looks like he's calculating and shrewd; you can tell at a glance he's no ordinary person. He might even fetch an astronomical price.

Who are you people?

The old man looked at Xu Xiwang and coldly asked, "Why are you here?"

"Who we are is none of your business! You're being way too nosy!"

Xu Xiwang frowned and retorted.

The old man took out a wooden box with dragon patterns from behind a cabinet and handed it to Xu Xiwang.

Xu Xiwang took it and was immediately stunned.

The wooden box with dragon patterns features a lifelike blue dragon that seems to come alive.

"Kid, I have ambergris, but I also want to see your sincerity."

Seeing the ambergris placed before him, Xu Xiwang's eyes darted around before he looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, what do you want? I'll do my best to get it for you if I can. What kind of thing do you want?"

"You have many spirit herbs, give me all the dark-attribute ones."

Xu Xiwang smiled slightly and took out more than a hundred spirit herbs from his pocket, causing Tuoba Yanyan and the old man to twitch at the corners of their mouths.

This kid is a real tycoon!

Even a single spiritual herb can attract the attention of many powerful figures, yet this kid treats spiritual herbs like they're free!

Xu Xiwang grinned and threw all the spiritual herbs onto the table.

With a wave of his hand, the old man caused all the spiritual herbs to vanish instantly.

"Young man, what else do you want? I have plenty of treasures here!"

The old man immediately changed his expression and smiled obsequiously.

Xu Xiwang rolled his eyes when he saw this.

A cunning and treacherous old fox!

This guy is obviously a shrewd businessman; Xu Xiwang hates people like that the most.

He's not a sucker!

However, he decided to continue playing dumb.

"Grandpa, what other treasures do you have? Let me see them."

"Of course, there are many other treasures here for you to choose from, as long as you can afford the price!"

The old man spoke with great conviction.

"Look at this young man, this ancient spirit sword!"

"Grandpa, is this spirit sword from last year? The paint is still chipping off when you touch it."

Tuoba Yan Yan pouted.

"I don't believe you. Can't you tell this spirit sword is a divine sword?"

The old man stared wide-eyed.

"A fake is a fake."

Tuoba Yan Yan curled her lip in disdain and ignored the cunning old man.

"Look at this! This is a priceless treasure! The Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, capable of bringing the dead back to life!"

The old man took out another bottle of pills.

"This is for healing, it can save lives..."

The old man launched into a long, detailed introduction, finally announcing, "Friendly price: fifty spirit herbs!"

Xu Xiwang rolled her eyes, but she was still very interested.

"Come on, old man, what Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill? Are there any living people in this Ghost Realm? You probably made this yourself."

Upon hearing this, the old man sneered, "Young man, do you know that this thing is priceless! Don't be so stubborn!"

Xu Xiwang looked completely bewildered.

"This...this is a martial arts manual! Mastering it will surely make you an unparalleled expert!"

The old man took out a yellowed book and presented it to Xu Xiwang as if it were a precious treasure.

Xu Xiwang glanced at the book's cover, which read: "Cultivation of Immortality".

Upon seeing the two large characters "Cultivation of Immortals," Xu Xiwang's lips twitched. What on earth is this? These little figures drawn on it actually dare to call it a secret manual!

"You're trying to fool a three-year-old with that!"

Tuoba Yan Yan rolled her eyes.

"You don't believe me? This is the cultivation manual of Emperor Tuoba! Do you know how many people have fought over it!"

The old man looked at Xu Xiwang with disdain.

"puff."

Xu Xiwang looked at Tuoba Yan Yan with a wide smile on his face.

He really didn't expect that this guy was actually quite good at bragging.

The cultivation manual of the Ghost Emperor Tuoba?

Hehe!

"Isn't Tuoba Ghost Emperor a ghost cultivator? Why is he cultivating immortality?"

Xu Xiwang couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the old man.

Tuoba Yan Yan also looked at the old man with curiosity, wanting to know exactly how he was bragging.

Tuoba Ghost Emperor is the strongest being among the Ghost Clan and ranks among the top five Ghost Cultivators.

How could such a powerful ghost cultivator possibly learn about immortal cultivation?

"Tuoba Ghost Emperor is the number one ghost cultivator among the ghost race, so cultivating immortality is certainly possible for him; ghost cultivators all aim to become immortals in the end."

The old man stroked his beard, looking rather arrogant.
