"Just this?" Liang Yi scratched his head.

Five thousand spiritual coins, or fifty thousand, or even five hundred thousand? No matter the amount, to the current Liang Yi, it was mere pocket change, having a share of the profits from Wind God Commerce, he really can't be considered just ordinarily rich.

"How about fifty thousand spiritual coins?" Wang Qiang's Adam's apple moved slightly as he secretly swallowed his saliva, looking somewhat nervous. He was already prepared to be heavily bargained down.

But even if the price were slashed to thirty thousand, twenty thousand, or even ten thousand, he would accept it because although the flower was picked from a Secret Realm, it was really just a flower he picked up at random by the roadside.

As to why he picked it, he also forgot. Maybe it appealed to him at first glance?

After picking it, he speculated that it might be a stroke of fate, a treasure spontaneously presenting itself, as there have been increasingly more tales of cultivators with profound luck, and related rumors have been growing more and more outrageous.

But after exhausting all methods, and even going to the expense of asking a Shopkeeper from Wind God Commerce to take a look, the verdict was just a flower that could not be more ordinary. There might be a hint of Spiritual Energy, but beyond that, there was nothing unusual.

Even the Shopkeeper from Wind God Commerce, who has seen countless treasures, said so, Wang Qiang naturally had no other recourse, and planned to quickly sell it to recoup some losses in blood.

Having the flower checked by the Shopkeeper from Wind God Commerce is a good selling point, and he would tell those gullible buyers, "This is personally inspected by the Wind God Commerce Shopkeeper."

Plus, with the stories he fabricated earlier, many people would think the Shopkeeper's verdict was part of Wang Qiang's fabricated tale.

Such actions tarnishing the reputation of Wind God Commerce wouldn't be allowed, but Wang Qiang was a crafty one, hardly ever leaving this long street. Since this was the Blood Control Sect's turf, even Wind God Commerce wouldn't easily disturb the rules here, so they let him be.

And when Wang Qiang left to restock, he was extremely secretive, hardly noticed by anyone.

"It could work, but I didn't bring that much spiritual coins with me right now. How about you look for another buyer?" Liang Yi stroked his ring and suddenly looked up with an apologetic expression.

"Eh eh, how can you, young master, tease people like this? Looking at how good-looking you guys are, your character must be outstanding too, right?" Wang Qiang became anxious instantly. He had finally encountered a good-looking but not-so-smart silly fat sheep, how could he let this fat sheep slip away?

"And look, these two fairies behind you seem interested in this flower as well. Buying it to gift a beloved, that's a win-win situation!"

Wang Qiang patiently played his cards, based on his understanding of these wealthy young masters from cultivation families, compliment them first, then give them a push in front of a beauty, and they'd be hooked for sure.

"Yes, yes, brother, I find this flower quite appealing too, don't you want to personally adorn it on my head?" Su Youyi stifled her laughter, and pretending to be innocent, she grabbed her brother's arm, swayed it, and cooed.

Su Youyi's eyes sparkled with a unique Spiritual Energy at the moment, and paired with her innocently cute demeanor, she nearly made Wang Qiang's eyes pop out, his drool nearly flowing from his eyes.

Why is there such a disparity between people?

Ol' Master Ju stealthily turned his back; otherwise, he feared that he would indeed burst into laughter. These two drama kings really had their act together! Did that silly kid Wang Qiang really think he could deceive these two little foxes?

Zhou Yuqing watched with interest from the side, smiling at Liang Yi holding a bellyful of mischief.

"Ah, this flower indeed matches perfectly with Junior Sister. But... but I really didn't bring that many spiritual coins with me; all my spiritual coins are deposited at Wind God Commerce." Liang Yi's face showed struggle for a while. He lowered his head to look at the white flower in Wang Qiang's hand, then at Su Youyi who was clinging to him, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

Following that, Liang Yi, as if to prove himself, took out a pale cyan card from his ring. It was a kind of VIP card given to him by the manager of Wind God Commerce in Qingliang City.

"Woah..." Wang Qiang took a sharp breath. He had the fortune to see this card once before.

He didn't know the man, but he saw the stingy manager of Wind God Commerce in Fuchao City personally come out to greet him, all smiles.

And now it was the second time! If he hadn't seen it once before, he wouldn't even recognize what this card signified.

"I'm not sure how many spiritual coins there are inside, but it should be enough to buy this pile of junk you have here." Liang Yi held the card between his fingertips, sounding somewhat arrogant.

But Wang Qiang wasn't the slightest bit displeased because that was the truth.

"I have an urgent matter right now. It's unrealistic for me to waste time to go to Wind God Commerce and withdraw spiritual coins for you, and you don't have the privilege." Liang Yi's index finger "tap tap" knocked on the card, an inexplicable rhythm that seemed to be knocking on Wang Qiang's heart, making him somewhat dizzy, the entire world seemed a little different.

"How about this... I give you the card, and you go get the spiritual coins from Wind God Commerce yourself, how's that?" Liang Yi proposed with a smile.

Wang Qiang, who was somewhat dazed, was moved by the idea! But immediately after, his expression turned to worry again. He was afraid he might get bagged by Wind God Commerce and thrown into the river to feed the beasts.

As if sensing Wang Qiang's worries, Liang Yi continued to give assurance with a strange tone. This tone sounded weird to normal people, but Wang Qiang in his strange state didn't notice at all.

"Rest assured, with this card, you are an honored guest of Wind God Commerce, even that high and mighty manager wouldn't dare to disrespect you. You just take the spiritual coins and leave the card there, I will retrieve it myself after I finish my business."

"If that's the case... since the young master is busy, I naturally won't waste your time. I'll take care of this minor matter!" Wang Qiang spoke those words vaguely, obediently receiving the card from Liang Yi's hand, and then handed over the white flower to Liang Yi.

"If so, then we shall part ways... indefinitely!"

After receiving the white flower, Liang Yi raised an eyebrow, casually waved to Wang Qiang without making a sound, and then immediately left with his junior sister and others who wanted to ask questions.

Wang Qiang stood quietly in place, a pleasing smile on his face as he saw off Liang Yi.

It wasn't until Liang Yi and the others had gone far that Wang Qiang suddenly shuddered as if electrocuted, and came to his senses.

"Is this that card?" After coming to his senses, even though Wang Qiang felt like he had forgotten something, he was soon completely captivated by the card in his hand.

He even started to imagine the obsequious way that the high and mighty manager of Wind God Commerce would stand by his side, in his mind.

By this point, he couldn't wait any longer and rushed out of the black market, abandoning the pile of items he had there.
