Chapter 298: Too Dark Heart
Zhong Ling'er and the others walked forward, but when they were still a few feet away from the shop, the two strong men were already shouting, "Get out of here, everything here is sold out."
"Oh, that's okay. I'll wait in line here and buy it tomorrow morning."
Another strong man came up and pushed Zhong Ling'er, "Get lost, why are you queuing? I'm the first one, and I'll take care of everything in this store."
Ouyang Ruochen grabbed his hand and released the pressure from his body, forcing the sturdy man to kneel on the ground.
The intense pain made the strong man sweat coldly, "Let go...let go, otherwise the Bai family will not let you go!"
It turned out that they were from the Bai family. But it was no wonder. In the Bai family’s city, only members of the Bai family dared to block the door of Taiqiong Trading Company so arrogantly and domineeringly.
Zhong Ling'er pulled Ouyang Ruochen's arm in panic, "Brother, please let go. We can't afford to offend the Bai family. I don't want the world in my palm anymore."
Ouyang Ruochen looked at the little apprentice sister's slightly curved eyes and put his hand down. Then he was about to leave with a few people. Another strong man snorted coldly and said, "Seeing that you are quite sensible, I will show you the way. If you want to buy Palm Qiankun, go to Zhu's Business on the main street. It's the only place that sells it in this city!"
Zhong Linger turned around and said thank you, then took her fellow brothers to the main street. They saw the largest and busiest shop at a glance, which was the Zhu Family Business. There was a particularly eye-catching sign hanging on it, which read "For sale Palm Universe and Formation Plates, only this store, no other shops."
Zhong Ling'er held down her restless hand and suppressed the urge to snatch the sign and hang it back in Taiqiong Commercial Bank.
The group went in and took a look around. There were many magical instruments and elixirs, but they didn't see the Palm Universe and the formation plate. Zhong Ling'er asked the waiter, and the waiter smiled and said, "The Palm Universe needs to be pre-ordered. The deposit is 50,000 spirit stones. According to the queue speed, it will take five days to get the goods, and then you have to pay another 50,000."
Zhong Ling'er smacked her lips, "One hundred thousand spirit stones, isn't it only one thousand?"
"One thousand is the price of Taiqiong Commercial Bank. It's a pity that you can't buy it. At present, we are the only ones who can get the goods. Think about it. We will have no trouble selling this thing."
The guy had a mocking smile on his face, and Zhong Ling'er walked out with a bitter face, pulling her senior brothers.
When they got to the street, Zhong Linger was furious. "How despicable! They actually sold the Palm Universe for a hundred times the price. They are definitely evil-minded."
Bai Luochen said with a cold face: "Let's find the shopkeeper and ask what's going on."
The others nodded in agreement and wandered around the street for a long time. Finally, at night, when they arrived at the backyard of Taiqiong Commercial Bank, they found that the two burly men were sitting with the shopkeeper drinking tea.
"Shopkeeper Wu, don't think too much. It doesn't matter who you sell this thing to. As long as the number of spirit stones you bring back matches, then you have nothing to do with it."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Wu, you can sell the goods directly to our Bai family, saving us the trouble of finding a group of people to line up. It saves you trouble and it saves us trouble too. Isn't that good?"
"The delivery person will be here tomorrow, and I won't be able to get through with you guys like this."
"Understood. I'll give the order in a moment and have the brothers line up at the door. I'll make sure your people don't notice anything wrong."
Shopkeeper Wu sighed with a sad face, but did not refute. Zhong Ling'er stopped the fifth senior brother who wanted to rush out, and then they returned to the inn.
Zhong Ling'er sent a message to stop the delivery man, and then said to several people: "Senior brothers, show me your storage rings. I want to find something good to make a lot of money."
Several people were puzzled, so Zhong Ling'er simply took all their rings and let her choose one herself. She turned all six of them upside down, and then left with satisfaction under their blushing and weird gazes.
On the second day, Zhong Ling'er and a few others changed their appearance, put on the sect's disciple uniforms, and swaggered to the door of Taiqiong Trading Company.
There is now a long queue in front of the door, including men and women, with different levels of cultivation. Zhong Linger sighed that these extras were well chosen and deserve praise.
Shopkeeper Wu came forward and said with a smile, "Junior brother and junior sister, are you here to deliver the goods? Why are there so many people?"
"In addition to delivering the goods, we also need to help Junior Sister build a teleportation array, and see if there is a chance to participate in the Sky City competition."
Zhong Linger smiled and handed over a storage ring, then continued, "Fifth Uncle said that he has been too busy recently and has no time to make the Palm Universe and the formation plate, but Junior Sister has brought out an even more powerful treasure, and it is also very special. She asked me to tell you in detail. In a few days, she will demonstrate it to everyone on the Taiqiong Mirror. The sales will definitely not be inferior to the Palm Universe."
Before Shopkeeper Wu could say anything, the leading man's eyes lit up, "Fellow Daoist, what treasure is this? Can you show it to us?"
Zhong Ling'er thought about it and said to the others cautiously: "Of course you can, but you have to line up and don't rush!"
Then he took out a pair of bright red underwear from the ring, "You've heard about the discussion between Junior Sister and Senior Brother Qi about the treasure of the store in the secret realm, right? This is the underwear worn by Ji Boxhao, and it's used as the treasure of the store. But you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. Isn't the big competition coming soon? Ji Boxhao will definitely come. This is just a gimmick to attract people. Don't rush to sell it. Put up a notice and touch a hundred spirit stones."
"Of course, if the Ji family or Ji Bochao himself wants to buy it, 500,000 spirit stones, not a cent less!"
Wen Jinyan's face turned red. These were his underwear, and his junior sister snatched them away and refused to return them to him no matter what. It turned out that she wanted to frame Ji Bochao. Fortunately, she didn't mention him, and he finally felt relieved.
The big man's eyes flashed a few times. Ji Bochao would definitely buy the red panties back for the sake of face. One million spirit stones were not a lot for a noble family. He could make five hundred thousand. If he counted those who came to touch them, this deal would be profitable.
Seeing Manager Wu's twitching mouth, Zhong Ling'er took out three more wine gourds.
"Have you seen the wine gourd that the Dragon King used to suck up sea water? That was a divine weapon, and the Dragon King took it away. Junior Sister thought the wine gourd was too practical, so she refined thirty more in the style of a divine weapon. Of course, they can't compare with a divine weapon, but if they can't suck up the sea, they can still suck up a river."
"Junior sister said that we can't have too much of this stuff, otherwise we'll just fill a river with it and kill many aquatic creatures. So in order to avoid karma, I won't refine it anymore. Most shops don't have it, and there are only two shops in each state. By the way, each one is also 500,000 spirit stones, and each person is limited to buying one."
Shopkeeper Wu took it, took a careful look, and didn't find anything strange. Bai Luochen took a wine gourd and raised his hand towards a water tank not far away. He saw a stream of water being sucked into the gourd mouth, but he did not stop. The gourd mouth turned in a direction, and countless streams of water gathered into the gourd. In a short while, all the visible water was sucked dry.
