"Nice to meet you. I'm Tian-Tu Sang-He, the manager of this Heavenly Trade Association, Reversed Stream Port City Branch."
The elder politely introduced himself again after Zheng-Fu was able to see his true identity after he transformed himself back into his original form.
"I'm Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu. Nice to meet you, Elder Tian-Tu Sang-He," Zheng-Fu introduced himself as well, politely greeting the elder.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
"Not bad, not bad, not bad!" the elder repeated the exclamation, again and again, raising his hand to stroke his beard and smiling admiringly. Then he went on, "You're a young man who isn't bad at all. What a blessing that this elder has found someone like you," Elder Sang-He said with a smile.
"Elder, you praised me too much. I'm not that admirable," Zheng-Fu was slightly embarrassed by the compliment from the elder, but he remained calm.
"Forget it... Alright, let's get to the point. Previously, my beautiful employee told me that Young Master wants to sell us the four elemental spiritual stones, right? So, I would like to check..."
"These are the four elemental spiritual stones that I want to sell," Zheng-Fu did not wait for Elder Sang-He to finish speaking; he immediately took the four elemental spiritual stones from his dimensional ring out.
Huh...?
As soon as Elder Sang-He saw the four elemental spiritual stones, his eyes widened as big as goose eggs, staring at the four lumps of stones in front of him with his hands that began to tremble uncontrollably in shock.
"They're real! But why are they so big?" the elder said, puzzled and stunned by the size of the four elemental spiritual stones that Zheng-Fu had taken out because it was much larger than the wind-elemental spiritual stone displayed on the fourth floor here.
And it was not just this wind-elemental spiritual stone, but none of the other stones the elder's store had were as large as Zheng-Fu's. Moreover, there were even four stones. As for the price, it was definitely higher than what he had.
"How much does Elder price them, sir?" When Zheng-Fu saw the elder's expression, he immediately knew what the elder was thinking. So, Zheng-Fu asked about their prices.
"Um... I give you a maximum of one billion coins for the fire-elemental spiritual stone. As for the water element, I can give you eight hundred and fifty million coins. As for the…"
"Thank you, Elder, for taking the time to talk with me. But at these prices, I can't accept it because it's the same price as the small piece of elemental spiritual stone that you have. My stones are much larger than yours, but the price is equal. Therefore, this negotiation is likely to end."
Before the elder could finish his quote, Zheng-Fu immediately interrupted with a look of dissatisfaction with the price the elder offered. Because he already knew the selling price here and the size of the elemental spiritual stone that was sold at this store was much smaller than his, but the elder gave the same price, Zheng-Fu ended the trade.
Ah!!!
The elder's face instantly turned pale upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. He did not think that Zheng-Fu would know the price before. Only those who actually bought the elemental spiritual stone would know its price, but Zheng-Fu knew, causing the elder to panic and turn pale.
However, what made the elder think hardest was that Zheng-Fu's words and expressions were extremely decisive, inconsistent with his appearance and age, causing Elder Sang-He to realize that he had made a big mistake in thinking Zheng-Fu was a simple young man who could be deceived easily.
"Wait, wait, young master, this elder is only offering the initial price. If Young Master is not satisfied, then this elder can increase the price for you. As for the fire-elemental spiritual stone, I quoted the highest price at one billion five hundred million monster crystal coins. One billion three hundred fifty million coins for the water element.
One billion one hundred million coins for the earth element. And nine hundred million coins for the wind element."
The elder immediately stopped Zheng-Fu and offered new prices to make Zheng-Fu change his mind and sell his items to his store. The price increase was higher than the previous one, and according to Zheng-Fu's calculations, this price was quite reasonable.
"1,500,000,000 coins for the fire element, 1,350,000,000 coins for the water element, 1,100,000,000 coins for the earth element, and 900,000,000 coins for the wind element. So, the total amount is 4,850,000,000 monster crystal coins. Um... Not bad for this price. I agree to sell these four elemental spiritual stones to you for 4,850,000,000 monster crystal coins."
Zheng-Fu easily agreed with the elder and did not think of negotiating any additional price. He thought that if he bargained more, he would get a higher price, but it would be a one-time deal. But if he accepted this price, in the future, if he needed anything or asked this elder to help, then the elder would be willing and able to help him as fully as possible.
"Great!!!"
As for the elder, seeing that Zheng-Fu agreed, the previously stern face finally relaxed, for he thought that Zheng-Fu would not give up and would ask for a higher price. He had already made up his mind to increase it a little more, but as a result, Zheng-Fu agreed easily.
Therefore, the elder was very happy because buying the four elemental spiritual stones as large as a fist at this price was worth it, even more than winning the lottery. When he sold them, he could set a much higher price, such as the fire-elemental stone, from which the purchase price of one billion five hundred million would instantly become two billion. And so did the other stones.
'Oh no! There must be some hidden implications in how he is willing to sell them to me?' Suddenly, the smile on the elder's face vanished as he realized that it seemed unusual to make such a simple deal. Because previously, the other party still had serious acting and steadfast expression.
"May I ask if Young Master has anything else you want from this elder?" Elder Sang-He immediately made the point when he understood that there must be something else that Zheng-Fu needed.
"Anything else? No, I don't want anything else but to sell these elemental spiritual stones. What does Elder mean by asking me this?" Zheng-Fu knew well what the elder's question meant, but he pretended not to know.
"Young Master, this elder has been through the world quite a bit. It's impossible for Young Master to agree with the price I offered without further negotiation unless there's something else that you want," the elder said with a smile on the corner of his mouth as he stroked his beard.
"Ha ha ha, I'm still very inexperienced. Elder, please don't mind," Zheng-Fu also had an excellent performance as he answered the elder, blaming himself for his inexperience in this world.
Ha ha ha!!!
"I greatly admire you, Young Master Zheng-Fu. So, this trade, the price of these four elemental spiritual stones, I give you 5,000,000,000 monster crystal coins," the elder said with a friendly grin and offered Zheng-Fu an additional price.
"Thank you so much, Elder Sang-He, for increasing the price for me," Zheng-Fu clasped his hands and thanked the elder with a smile as well.
They both then exchanged money for elemental spiritual stones. Originally, Zheng-Fu lost money for spelled talismans over a billion coins, but now he had gotten back five billion. When it was all deducted, there were still nearly four billion coins in profit. It could be considered that coming here this time was not a waste.
"But I saw Young Master bought the Golden Emperor Armor Body Skill martial arts textbook. I don't know if you know it isn't perfect?" the elder slightly changed the subject. Instead, he asked about the martial arts textbook that Zheng-Fu had bought earlier.
"Of course, I know it's not perfect," Zheng-Fu nodded in response, smiling at the elder.
"Then, why are you still buying it? Or do you know the missing part of this martial arts textbook?" the elder asked with a very curious look on his face. He had taken this martial arts textbook to practice as well, but could not find a way to continue training, so he had to stop and keep it until he could sell it. But it had also been sold back many times.
"I don't even know what's missing. I was just destined to meet it, so I bought it," Zheng-Fu shook his head as he replied to the elder.
Um...
"That's right. It's because of destiny that made the meeting happen, like you and me," said the elder, stroking his beard while staring at Zheng-Fu with a hint of meaning. There was no other thought within the elder's mind than a feeling of unbelievable admiration and destiny.
"Probably so... It's too late now. I'll have to excuse myself. Next time I have another elemental spiritual stone, I'll sell it to you again," Zheng-Fu saw that it was time for him to go back to the ship, so he said goodbye to the elder.
"Then I'll walk to see Young Master off," the elder did not hold back Zheng-Fu as he thought that there would be a chance to meet again. And he also intended to go to see Zheng-Fu off himself. There were very few people that this Elder Sang-He would walk and see off by himself.
The first floor of the Heavenly Trade Association, Reversed Stream Port City Branch...
Huh...?
"Isn't that Master Sang-He?"
"Where, where, where…? Ah! Yes, indeed. That's really Master Sang-He!"
"Who's that that Master Sang-He's with? Who's that young man that Master Sang-He's walking with?"
"Or he's an offspring of one of the three powerful clans!?"
"That's unlikely. But even the supreme elder of the Ming Clan never had a chance to walk with Master Sang-He. I heard that only the clan leaders and the people he accepted that he'd talk to."
"But it looks like that young man is definitely not a descendant of one of the three great clans. I'm not familiar with his face that he belongs to the three great clans."
"How do you know that he isn't one of the three big clans?"
"Because I'm their fan. I always follow the geniuses of the three clans, and I know all about them. So, I know he isn't from the three big clans."
"Then who is he?"
People's chatter rang uninterrupted as they saw Zheng-Fu walking alongside Sang-He, who was a person that was difficult to reach for many people. Even many high-ranking or famous people from the three big clans did not have such an opportunity.
"Master Elder, it's alright if you just see me off here. I can continue walking by myself," Zheng-Fu stopped walking and turned to say to the elder.
"Have a safe trip. If you have a chance, come and see this elder. My Heavenly Trade Association, Reversed Stream Port City Branch, always welcomes you," the elder nodded, saying goodbye to Zheng-Fu as well, emphasizing that if there were an opportunity, Zheng-Fu could come and see him at any time.
The meaning of his words was that if Zheng-Fu had any problems or needed any help, he could come to this Elder Sang-He whenever he wanted.
"Of course... I'll definitely come back if there's a chance."
