A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Lu Wanqing secretly sized up Ye Chen in front of her, afraid that he would run away...

If no one buys it, she'll have to go home empty-handed again tonight.

Please, even just buying one would be great...

Lu Wanqing felt a surge of anxiety. She was desperately short of spirit stones; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought these flawed forging products to sell on the black market...

"How much are these?"

Ye Chen looked around, then looked up at Lu Wanqing in front of him and asked.

"what?"

"These?"

Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately...

The other party didn't specify which one, but rather "all of them"... Does that mean they want to buy them all?

Her heart immediately filled with excitement...

"If you only buy one item, it's 100 spirit stones per item. If you want to buy them all, the price can be lower..."

Lu Wanqing took a deep breath and said calmly.

Before Ye Chen could even speak, Lin Wanli couldn't help but interject.

"One hundred spirit stones? For this piece of junk?"

"This is outrageous..."

If these were intact magical artifacts, even ordinary ones could sell for several hundred spirit stones. But they're all defective, useless artifacts; even ten spirit stones wouldn't be enough for them...

At least in Lin Wanli's view, these things were worthless; he wouldn't even take them for free...

"this..."

Lu Wanqing blushed, a little embarrassed. She herself felt that the price seemed a bit high...

Although forging these magical artifacts cost more than a hundred spirit stones, they are now useless and defective products. Selling them at such a price would undoubtedly be dishonest...

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask at the moment, so no one could see her embarrassed expression.

Lu Wanqing pursed her red lips and said with a serious expression.

"If you are genuinely interested in buying, the price is negotiable..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen hesitated for two seconds, mentally calculating the number of flawed magical artifacts on the stall. There were probably over fifty of them; if each was priced at one hundred spirit stones, it wouldn't be a small sum...

"Twenty spirit stones per piece!"

"If possible, I..."

"Can!"

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Lu Wanqing nodded in agreement without hesitation...

"what?"

Ye Chen froze for two seconds, then looked up at Lu Wanqing with a changed expression...

The price has been reduced from one hundred spirit stones to twenty spirit stones. That's too much of a flexibility!

He had originally intended to test the waters by offering a significantly lower price, hoping the other party would haggle back; he figured he could accept thirty to fifty spirit stones per piece...

To his surprise, the other party immediately agreed to the discounted price as soon as he quoted it...

Isn't that a bit too convenient?

Did I overpay for twenty coins?

Ye Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

Should we test the waters with ten spirit stones next time?

Lu Wanqing was also very excited. She had finally gotten a quote, and she couldn't bear to miss it; if she didn't sell now, she might never find another customer...

She was so afraid that Ye Chen would change his mind after she finished speaking...

Please don't run away...

"Twenty it is..."

"I want them all..."

Ye Chen spoke first, then took out a storage bag from his robes, counted the spirit stones, and handed it over...

More than a thousand spirit stones, that's not a small amount...

"You want them all?"

Lu Wanqing was stunned, staring at Ye Chen in surprise. She hadn't expected him to take care of everything...

I can't believe it!

She looked at the spirit stones Ye Chen counted out, and only then did she realize she hadn't misheard...

He couldn't help but scrutinize Ye Chen carefully, his heart filled with curiosity...

Is this outer disciple so wealthy?

For a moment, everyone suspected that Ye Chen might be a personal disciple of some mountain peak, but seeing that his cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, they dismissed the idea...

"No... Senior Brother, you really want to buy these?" Lin Wanli looked at Ye Chen with surprise. "Although twenty spirit stones isn't much, so many items will cost a lot. What are you going to do with all this junk?"

He had just carefully examined all the magical artifacts on the stall, but couldn't see any use for them; they were all undoubtedly junk...

Why would my senior brother be interested in these things?

He could understand buying just one item, and he wouldn't mind losing twenty spirit stones, but to spend over a thousand spirit stones on a pile of junk...

At this moment, he even wondered if Ye Chen was possessed by an evil spirit.

Could it be that this female stall owner has cast a spell on my senior brother?

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen turned to look at Lin Wanli and said calmly.

"Of course, these aren't entirely junk; they're still somewhat useful..."

"what?"

Lin Wanli was stunned for a moment, completely unable to imagine what forging scraps could be used for...

However, upon hearing Ye Chen's words, he obediently shut up and did not ask any further questions.

If it were actually useful, and the female stall owner overheard it, she might just raise the price...

Lu Wanqing glanced at Ye Chen with a surprised expression, wondering what he wanted to do with these defective magical artifacts, but she didn't press the matter...

She took the spirit stones Ye Chen handed her, confirmed the number was correct, and nodded to him.

"These magical artifacts are yours now..."

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen collected all fifty-odd defective magical artifacts from the stall into his storage bag...

The disciples passing by were all astonished upon seeing this...

"Why is this guy buying defective magical artifacts?"

"What's he going to do with all that junk? Does he intend to extract it into forging materials?"

"This kid really has money to burn, spending over a thousand spirit stones on a bunch of junk..."

"If only I had these spirit stones! Why waste them like this? They're just going down the drain anyway..."

"Is this what the happiness of the rich is? Who exactly is this guy? I really want to meet him..."

......

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all casting curious glances at Ye Chen...

After all, he was so generous; if I could explain it, I might be able to get some benefits...

With the money and goods settled, Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Ye Chen in front of her, and asked curiously.

"Junior brother..."

"May I ask what you intend to do with these defective ritual implements?"

Her voice was beautiful, like the song of a nightingale, clear and ethereal...

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at her but did not reply...

Seeing this, Lu Wanqing quickly waved her hand and explained, "It's alright if Junior Brother doesn't want to talk about it. I don't want to pry into any secrets. It's just that if Junior Brother still wants such flawed magical artifacts, I have quite a few more..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood her meaning; she intended to continue selling him defective magical artifacts...

"Can..."

"Bring the defective magic artifacts over tomorrow night. At the same price as before, twenty spirit stones each. I'll take as many as you have..."

Ye Chen spoke up.

He had quite a few spirit stones on hand; a thousand or two spirit stones were just a drop in the ocean for him...

Lin Wanli, standing to the side, was dumbfounded...

Is this like chasing after a pig to slaughter?

My senior actually agreed...

Could it be that I really misjudged them? What's so special about these flawed magical artifacts?

Lin Wanli fell into deep thought...
