To Qin Wushuang, this quote was close to his bottom-line. After all, since he was about to make a dash for the Supreme Dao Stage, this Spiritual Power Pearl was close to being useless.
Although this was an exceptional good that could be left to use by others, Qin Wushuang came here because he certainly had other things he urgently needed.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang decided to keep negotiating.
“It’s not difficult to find the Fish Dragon Iron Bone and Dragon Breath seal at your place. There is only one of this Spiritual Power Pearl. For now, there are no others.” Qin Wushuang also quoted the price on the spot.
Yun Keng said, “The Recuperate Pearl certainly cannot be put into the quote. Unless, you can bring out a piece of Supreme Dao armor, we will not part with the Recuperate Pearl!”
“Supreme Dao armor? I want this for myself.” Qin Wushuang chuckled. “Then I will wait until you have a trade that can stir my heart, let’s talk again. Perhaps in a few dozen years, I will come to the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon again.”
When Yun Keng saw that Qin Wushuang stood up to leave, he immediately said, “Sir, it’s all good if you want to discuss things further. What other things do you want? We can use other things to fill your needs. Besides the Recuperate Pearl, name things you want! As long as we have it, we will certainly bow and give it away!”
“Besides the Recuperate Pearl, I’m not very attracted to other things.” Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh.
“If you want to exchange the Recuperate Pearl with the Spiritual Power Pearl, I can file an application for you. However, it will certainly not work to add the other two pieces.” Yun Keng started to soften a little bit.
Qin Wushuang said with a leisurely smile. “I want to package the three pieces together, this way it can showcase the value of the Spiritual Power Pearl.”
Since Yun Keng was a businessman, certainly he could not accept this quote. Regardless of how he calculated it, he would be losing money. Yet indeed, he did not wish to give up the Spiritual Power Pearl.
If this good was to belong to the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon, it would definitely become a shining star along with the Recuperate Pearl. This perfect pair could become the brand of the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon!
Due to this thought, Yun Keng did not want to budge.
“Sir, you should know if you have sincerity, we will lose a ton of money based on your desire. Since the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon has been in business for a few thousand years, we would never do business to lose money.”
Qin Wushuang laughed and said, “Then if I only exchange for the Fish Dragon Iron Bone and Dragon Breath Seal, certainly it’s my loss. If I exchanged something can be consumed endlessly to something that has limited consummation, would I not be a fool and lose out?”
Yun Keng twitched the corner of his mouth and for the time, he did not know how to name his price. Besides the Recuperate Pearl, the trade they named seemed to be inappropriate to the other party.
“This way, I can add another Supreme Dao weapon.” Yun Keng clenched his teeth and raised up his quota.
“Ha ha, this quoted price is rather nice; however, I don’t really need a Supreme Dao weapon. I even wanted to transfer you a Supreme Dao weapon.” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang said, “Alright, to show my sincerity, I will add a piece of armor to the trade. This is armor that is invincible to anyone beneath the Supreme Dao Stage. It’s only a little bit less strong than a piece of Supreme Dao armor. This armor plus the Spiritual Power Pearl, to exchange with your three pieces, how about it?”
“What armor? Take it out and we shall examine it,” Yun Keng muttered to himself irresolutely after thinking over it.
Qin Wushuang was not being unreasonable and took out the retired serene armor. Although this was not a piece of Supreme Dao armor, the entire piece let off an abstruse azure color that made it dazzle before one’s eyes. It appeared even better looking than Supreme Dao armor.
As soon as he took it out, Yun Keng inhaled a breath of cold air. While he admired this azure armor, he could not refrain himself from shooting a few more glances at Qin Wushuang.
Inwardly, he also emerged countless questions. “Just who is this young man? How come he keeps having more and more quality goods? Too bad this young man is too astute, he is truly ruthless when he negotiates pricing…”
“Brother Yun, what do you think of this? Just say the word, do we have a deal?” Qin Wushuang let out a simple smile. “I am a straightforward person, it’s a one-shot, all-out kind of deal.”
Yun Keng said, “Mister, for this matter, I do not dare to act on my own initiative. Can you allow me to seek council?”
Qin Wushuang said with a laugh, “Hold on, I will name you another trade. I will exchange this armor with your Fish Dragon Iron Bone. Also, you shall help me to collect four other pieces. If you can collect them all, I will exchange this armor with you.”
“Oh? What are the goods? Tell me.” Yun Keng calculated that it would be sufficient enough to trade this armor with the Fish Dragon Iron Bone due to its fineness and aptitude.
Indeed as the other party said, this armor had the strongest defense beneath Supreme Dao armor. If a Supreme Dao elite warrior were to decorate or refine it a bit more, most likely it would not be a problem to make it a half piece of Supreme Dao armor.
Qin Wushuang took up a pen and began writing on a piece of white paper.
“Ancient Hibiscus Wood, Essence of Golden Earth, First Heavenly Water, Scarlet Fire…” Yun Keng could not but help to wipe the sweat from his forehead. These four goods were not ordinary at all. Their store had only one or two pieces of them, but not all of them.
“Sir, for the Essence of Golden Earth and First Heavenly Water, these two pieces are easily accessible. We can provide them. For the other two pieces, ha ha, my humble little store cannot even offer it. Not to hide it from you, for those two pieces, unless you exchange Supreme Dao armor for them, they would be impossible to get.”
Qin Wushuang’s heart sank. “They’re this rare?”
Yun Keng gave a long sigh. “Sir, could it be you don’t even know what these things are?”
Qin Wushuang truly did not know the true value behind them. He was only getting the medicine according to the list and did not have a profound understanding of the background and whereabouts of these goods.
“Alright, it could possibly work with these two pieces.” Qin Wushuang took a step back.
Yun Keng said seriously, “For this transaction, I must ask for my boss’s instructions, please wait for a moment.”
Yun Keng walked to a different room. In a short moment, he walked out and said to Qin Wushuang, “I’ve asked for the advice of the Pavilion Master for this transaction. He is on his way now and will be here in a moment. Please wait patiently.”
Qin Wushuang shot a vigilant glance at Yun Keng.
Since Yun Keng was a businessman, he was experienced and knowledgeable. By discerning what he thought from his body language, he immediately explained with a smile, “Please rest assured, as the Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon is doing such big business, we never exhibit vicious actions of cheating on you. When you have something good, we will only purchase it through a friendly manner. Forcing you to sell your goods is not how we do things.”
Qin Wushuang revealed an indifferent smile. “That would be for the best. I am afraid if a conflict is to occur, a big joke will follow.”
When Yun Keng saw that the other party appeared joyful and showed no signs of nerves, he would rather not dare to upset him. Inwardly, he smacked his tongue in wonder and tried to figure out which house Qin Wushuang belonged to.
In a moment, an elderly man with all white hair walked up quickly from downstairs. This person had graceful footsteps. Each step he took was like a dragon’s gambol or a tiger’s strut that exhibited an earth-shattering manner. His dragon aura from head to toe displayed even more of his superior strength. Indeed, he appeared to be the strongest existence beneath a Supreme Dao warrior.
His dragon presence also showed his identity as an elder of a dragon clan. However, Qin Wushuang seemed to be turning a deaf ear. Of course, such prestige would not make him fearful.
Thinking of how that sorceress Mi Jia of the Horned Dragon Clan was incapable of intimidating Qin Wushuang, as this elder had yet to enter the Supreme Dao Stage, the more he could not enter Qin Wushuang’s eyes.
“Yun Keng, you can go now.” That elder waved his hand and shouted loudly to ask that Yun Keng to go back. He sat down before Qin Wushuang collectively.
Qin Wushuang revealed an indifferent smile. “Senior, are we still doing this business?”
“Where have you come from, little brother?” the elder asked with a grave expression.
“Are you to ask the backgrounds of each guest?” Qin Wushuang asked lightly for he was one hundred percent unwilling to answer this question.
“That’s not the case.” The elder shook his head. “Your trade, ha ha, is interesting. If I’ve guessed correctly, these are materials for making the Golem Puppet, right?”
Qin Wushuang was moved inwardly as he looked at this elder apathetically. “Senior, I am only asking whether or not we are making this deal. If not, I will take my leave now.”
“Yes, of course we will do it. Little brother, I do have the quote here. It will not ask for your Spiritual Power Pearl or your armor. If you can give me a copy of that secret puppet making book, then you can take away all three representative treasures. Also, we will give you the First Heavenly Water and the Essence of Golden Earth, these two great materials for free.”
“What about Ancient Hibiscus Wood and Scarlet Fire?” Qin Wushuang asked lightly.
“I am sorry for that, not only do we not have them, I am afraid the other dragon territories do not have them either. The Forefather Dragon Clan may have some, but I couldn’t possibly know for sure.”
Qin Wushuang muttered to himself irresolutely, “This method is secret. I will still exchange the armor for the Fish Dragon Iron Bone and the assisting material.”
That elder shook his head leisurely. “Then I will not do it.”
Qin Wushuang opened his eyes widely to look at this elder.
The elder smiled at ease. “Although this Fish Dragon Iron Bone is not something that defies the natural order, besides my Fish Dragon Iron Bone, in other dragon territories, this object can only be met and not be asked for. According to what I know, many dragon bones can be used to make the Golem Puppet, yet only the Fish Dragon Iron Bone is the most suitable. Is my understanding correct? Also, this Fish Dragon Iron Bone is the main material. Little brother, you have grand ambitions. At such a young age you are making preparations for the Supreme Dao Stage. For this Golem Puppet, it’s not easy to manage it if you are not at the Supreme Dao, right?”
Qin Wushuang gave a slight sneer, “Old man, are you raising the price on the spot?”
“You can interpret it this way. A moment ago, wasn’t your trade price to Yun Keng also an act of raising the price on the spot?” The smiling expression of the elder made him look unconcerned and carefree about the trade.
Qin Wushuang revealed a strange smile. “Alright, then I will exchange it with you. However, let’s make a deal, without the Ancient Hibiscus Wood and the Scarlet Fire, the secret book I am giving to you can only be the method that also lacks these two materials. Perhaps I will consider differently if you can provide these two things. I would then tell you the entire secret.”
The elder was stunned instantly. After a moment, he gave a long sigh. “Little brother, you are not taking the slightest loss at all. The Fish Dragon Iron Bone is the main material. For the other assisting materials, with each extra assisting material, the quality of the Golem Puppet will be better. The great puppet smelted from four total materials compared to one made by two materials has a great difference in terms of quality!”
“Then there is no way it will work. You’ll get what you give. As you only have this much, this is all I can give it to you.”
“Can I not have an outstanding account?” the elder asked with a smiling face.
“To have an outstanding account means you must possess favorable credit and the ability to repay it. As you said, even the Forefather Dragon Clan might not have those two goods. And I have no clue when your Treasure Pavilion of Fairy Dragon might have it. This ability of repayment needs to be discussed. Therefore, I do not accept such outstanding accounts with such big risks,” Qin Wushuang said with a completely business-like tone.
He had no clue where Lu Xianlou acquired the manufacturing method for making the Golem Puppet. Qin Wushuang never expected that it would be worth this much!
Yet to Qin Wushuang, it would be a business without investment. Regardless of how he calculated, it would be a profitable business!
