Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Upon closer inspection, Yu Changsheng noticed that the box exuded a precious aura, indicating that it was no ordinary item.

Shopkeeper Wang chuckled, "Hehe, please take a look at this batch of goods, Young Master Yu, and see if they meet your expectations?"

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "This one looks alright. Let's open it and take a look."

Shopkeeper Wang opened the box.

A vibrant, extremely bright flower is displayed there.

This rare flower is about five inches long, with ice-blue petals and an eerie pale purple base, exuding a dangerous aura.

Yu Changsheng had never seen such a thing before and did not know its name.

But judging from its appearance, it is indeed a good product.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth Wang the shopkeeper going to such lengths.

The production cost of this box alone is considerable.

It is itself made of extremely rare and high-grade materials.

Yu Changsheng turned around and asked, "Seventh Master, what do you think of this?"

Lin Hao said calmly, "The Ice Stream Residual Poison Flower is indeed a rare and precious thing for cultivators like you."

Yu Changsheng then learned the name of this thing. It must be said that Lin Hao was indeed broad-minded in this regard.

Manager Wang immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Seventh Master is indeed knowledgeable and experienced; he was able to recognize this thing at a glance."

"This is indeed the Ice Stream Poison Flower, a spiritual plant that only grows in extremely cold streams."

"Moreover, in order for the toxicity of this Ice Stream Poison Flower to reach a certain level, it is necessary to have a fourth-tier spirit beast, the Hundred Flower Poison Serpent, for protection."

"Only by constantly nourishing itself with its own snake venom can the Ice Creek Poison Flower reach its best quality."

"This Ice Stream Poison Flower is a rare treasure that was nurtured for over a hundred years by a Hundred Flower Poisonous Serpent that was almost a fifth-tier spirit beast."

"Its quality has reached the highest level of the Ice Creek Poison Flower, which is extremely rare."

"Although the name of this Ice Stream Poison Flower contains the word 'poison,' it is actually a miraculous medicine that can cure all poisons."

"With just a few other materials as an aid, at a normal rate, a small piece of flower is enough to neutralize most of the poison."

"Even the rarest poison in the world can be saved by using a whole Ice Creek Residual Poison Flower, along with 49 kinds of medicinal herbs."

"I wonder if Young Master Yu knows Zhu Wuji, the first leader of my Sea Beast Heavenly Island?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Who doesn't know that? In his early years, Sect Leader Zhu Wuji founded the Sea Beast Heavenly Island and single-handedly defeated most of the experts in the entire North Sea region."

"Only after occupying this sacred and secret realm could the Sea Beast Heavenly Island have developed to its current state."

"Later, Sect Leader Zhu Wuji left the sect and disappeared without a trace. There has been no news of him since."

"This matter should be known to all the disciples of Sea Beast Heavenly Island."

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "That's right, exactly. Young Master Yu, do you know that Master Zhu was once ambushed by a villain and poisoned with a strange poison?"

"In the end, it was this 'Icy Stream Poisonous Flower' that saved me. I personally killed the person who poisoned me!"

Yu Changsheng responded with an "Oh," and said, "I haven't heard of this before."

Lin Hao suddenly said, "This thing is indeed a good item. If the price is right, we can buy it."

Yu Changsheng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Lin Hao to be interested in the Ice Stream Poison Flower. It seemed that the things Manager Wang had brought out this time were indeed quite good.

Yu Changsheng asked, "Manager Wang, what price are you planning to offer?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Young master, you misunderstand. Our shop doesn't sell; we only operate on a barter system."

"Bartering? There's actually such a thing?"

Manager Wang said, "That's right. After all, the people who come here may not have money; they are often wandering cultivators."

"They may not have spirit stones on them, but they must have some materials that they don't need."

"Therefore, our shop has always operated on a barter system."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly. This was the first time he had ever seen such a way of buying and selling.

Shopkeeper Wang added, "However, there are always exceptions. If Young Master Yu doesn't have anything to exchange, it's not impossible for him to pay money."

"The price might be a bit high, it just depends on whether Young Master Yu can accept it."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "So it turns out you can still loosen your grip."

"I'm not short of money. Name your price for this item."

Shopkeeper Wang was secretly delighted; he had finally been fooled.

After pondering for a while, Manager Wang held up five fingers.

"The whole number?"

Yu Changsheng looked at the five fingers. "What does this mean?"

"Fifty thousand spirit stones?"

Manager Wang's face fell. What a joke! Fifty thousand spirit stones for a material of this grade? That's not even a fraction of the price.

I don't know if this guy is genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"Young Master Yu is joking. If I were to sell it to you for 50,000 spirit stones, I would probably lose everything."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, "You should have said so earlier! I didn't know the prices, so I just called out a random one."

"Just give me a straight answer on how much it costs."

Manager Wang replied, "Five million spirit stones!"

puff!

Yu Changsheng almost spat out his tea.

Five million spirit stones? Are you kidding me? Although he had already expected that Manager Wang's offer was definitely not low.

But I never expected it to be this outrageous.

Five million spirit stones—that's not much more than the annual expenses of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Shopkeeper Wang said, "Young Master Yu, this item is extremely rare. Even at this price, it would be very difficult to buy."

Yu Changsheng frowned and said, "Manager Wang, you must be joking."

"Five million units of grain might even be enough to buy some materials for fifth-tier spirit beasts."

"Even if the Ice Creek Residual Poison Flower is indeed extremely rare, it shouldn't be priced like this."

Shopkeeper Wang said, "Although this Ice Stream Poison Flower is not quite up to the level of a fifth-tier spirit beast material, it is very close."

"Besides, I've already said that my little shop has always operated on a barter system. It was only because you insisted on buying with money that I had no choice but to pay this price."

Yu Changsheng said, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss."

"Seventh Master, let's go."

Yu Changsheng got up to leave.

However, Manager Wang stood up and stopped him, saying, "Young Master Yu, wait!"

"What's wrong?"

"Young Master Yu may leave, but he must pay the viewing fee."

"Viewing fee?"

"That's right, since you've seen my treasure here, of course you have to pay."

Manager Wang put the box away from the table.

Yu Changsheng was so angry he laughed. It was the first time he had ever heard of paying for something just to look at it.

They really think he's a sucker.

"A fee to view a treasure? This thing of yours isn't even a treasure to me. Why should I pay you a fee to view it?"

"Even if I were to hand it over, you'd have to produce something truly valuable. This kind of trash? No way!"

Manager Wang's face darkened.

"So, Young Master Yu, you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

Yu Changsheng retorted, "What? I think you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me!"

Manager Wang immediately left the room, and then two fierce-looking cultivators entered.

Yu Changsheng could tell that the two of them were basically at the Purple Mansion level.

"Manager Wang, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Hao stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Changsheng.

Manager Wang said from outside the door:

"Young Master Yu, I don't want our relationship to become too strained. Just pay the money obediently, and I'll let you out."

"Otherwise, my little shop wouldn't have been allowed to be run wild for nothing."

Yu Changsheng sneered, "This guy's ability to turn the tables is quite impressive."

"What if I don't pay?"

"how?"

As soon as Manager Wang clapped his hands, the two men immediately made their move.

But as soon as they took a step, an invisible pressure surrounded them, instantly causing cold sweat to break out on their backs.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

He dared not take another step forward, staring intently at Lin Hao beside Yu Changsheng.

Only then did they realize that Lin Hao's cultivation level was actually terrifying.

I previously thought he was just an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator, not worth mentioning.

Only now did they realize that Lin Hao had been hiding his true cultivation level.

Yu Changsheng sneered, "What, not going to make a move?"

Shopkeeper Wang was outside the door, and since his own cultivation level wasn't very high, he was unaware of what had happened.

He urged impatiently, "Why haven't you made a move yet?"

The two men were frozen in place, unable to utter a word.

Yu Changsheng chuckled and said, "Manager Wang, perhaps they are unwilling to be accomplices to evil, and their consciences may have been awakened."

Manager Wang wasn't stupid; he immediately realized something was wrong.

In particular, Lin Haoren remained motionless, while the legs of his two subordinates were trembling.

At this moment, he could also see that Lin Hao was definitely a master.

Seeing that something was wrong, Manager Wang took several steps back, trying to escape.

But Yu Changsheng quickly stepped forward and kicked him in the shin.

Manager Wang fell flat on his face on the ground.

"Ouch."

Shopkeeper Wang, in pain, covered his mouth and wailed on the ground.

Yu Changsheng said, "Manager Wang, why are you running away?"

Manager Wang turned his head and quickly retreated.

"Young Master Yu, it's all a misunderstanding. I don't want the money anymore, please don't take it to heart."

Yu Changsheng sneered, "You realized you forgot to add salt after you finished eating? Too late!"

"Didn't you just say I had to pay some kind of 'treasure viewing fee'?"

"Okay, I'll ask you for some compensation for emotional distress too."

"Compensation for emotional distress?"

Shopkeeper Wang was puzzled; what was this thing?

Yu Changsheng said, "You suddenly tried to attack me just now, which almost scared me to death. If it weren't for Seventh Master's sudden intervention..."

"You might have scared me to death. This is a matter of life and death. Tell me, shouldn't you compensate me?"

Manager Wang understood that this young master Yu was also here to rob him, just like himself, only with a different excuse.

Shopkeeper Wang quickly replied, "Alright, how much do you want? I'll pay you, I'll pay you, okay?"

Yu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction and held up five fingers.

"Not much, I only need this amount."

Shopkeeper Wang stammered, "Fifty, fifty thousand spirit stones?"

Yu Changsheng scoffed, "Fifty thousand spirit stones? Is my life even worth fifty thousand spirit stones?"

"Five million spirit stones!"

"What? Five million? Young Master Yu, are you kidding me? Where am I supposed to get that much money?"

Yu Changsheng snorted, "You know it's not easy to get five million spirit stones, right?"

"Then how dare you ask me for five million spirit stones just now? It's absolutely ridiculous."

Manager Wang quickly said:

"It was my mistake. I shouldn't have made such an exorbitant demand of you, young master. But I really can't come up with five million spirit stones."

"Could you please grant me a few more days, Mr. Yu?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Give me a few days' grace? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"If I really give you a few more days, I'm afraid Manager Wang will have someone deal with me, right?"

Manager Wang gave an awkward smile; that was indeed what he thought, but he couldn't possibly admit it.

"Young Master Yu, you misunderstand. I absolutely did not have such a thought. It's just that if you asked me to come up with five million spirit stones, I really couldn't do it."

Yu Changsheng looked around and said, "In that case, I won't be greedy."

"Didn't you say that the Ice Stream Poison Flower was worth five million spirit stones? Although this price is quite high, I can barely accept it."

"Take this Ice Creek Poison Flower as compensation; it will make up for my loss."

Manager Wang's face immediately turned extremely ugly, as the Ice Stream Poison Flower was one of his most prized possessions.

If he were to give it away, he wouldn't be able to continue his business; he would have lost everything.

"Young Master, Young Master Yu, no, no, Master Yu, you absolutely cannot do this!"

"You have to reason with me! What am I supposed to do if you take this Ice Creek Poison Flower?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Now you know you regret it? When you were about to attack me, you didn't show the slightest intention of returning to the country."

"What, so you're saying you're unwilling to compensate me? Who's going to make up for my emotional distress?"

"In short, compensation or no compensation? Have you thought it through?"

Yu Changsheng stepped on the junction of Manager Wang's body and legs, ready to deliver a fatal kick at any moment.

Shopkeeper Wang was utterly terrified. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, if Young Master Yu is willing to let me go, I'll compensate you!"

"Not bad, at least they're reasonable to some extent. Consider this compensation for my emotional distress."

Yu Changsheng glanced at the box on the ground and put it directly into his storage bag.

"That box..."

Shopkeeper Wang gritted his teeth in anger. It was one thing for this beast to take his Ice Stream Poison Flower, but he even took the box! He was utterly shameless.

However, he had to admit defeat. Who told him to be so blind as to try to rob a young master who was a skilled bodyguard?

Today's events should serve as a lesson for him.

"Young Master Yu, now that you have the Ice Stream Poison Flower, can you let me go?"

Yu Changsheng smiled and nodded, saying:

"Very well! I am a man of my word."

"Seventh Master, let's go!"

Lin Hao left without a word, but he had already begun to be wary of Yu Changsheng.

He had assumed that Yu Changsheng was genuinely there to buy something.

Who would have thought that he was deliberately portrayed as a spoiled brat to lure people in, and then turned around and bite them back.

This kind of cunning could easily backfire if you're not careful. (End of Chapter)
