Chapter 383: Chapter 375: Harbouring Malicious Intent (Additional for the Floating Cup Wind 888 Union Master)

After all,

In the Cultivation World, power is the foundation of everything.

He Song’s cultivation level is a small realm higher than his, and his strength must be stronger.

When facing a cultivator whose strength must be stronger than his own, Xu Jie was greedy in his heart, but rationality had the upper hand.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t entertain any ideas about this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

In his heart, Xu Jie said so to himself.

However, just as he was warning himself in his heart and preparing to forcefully suppress his greed,

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed through his mind.

According to his knowledge,

There appeared a Master in the Eight-vein Immortal City who had gone out to seek opportunities in the early years and only returned to the Eight-vein Immortal City over a decade ago.

That Master, with the dharma title of Master Lie Feng, had reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

If he could share this news with him…

Once this idea appeared in his mind, it immediately took root in Xu Jie’s heart.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, accompanied by several late-stage or mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators,

Would it not be relatively easy to besiege a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?

And himself.

As a Sub-Pavilion Master of the Subordinate Treasure Pavilion, with this identity and the credit for providing information, he would inevitably get a share of the pie afterwards.

In this way, wouldn’t he be able to get his hands on some of the extra mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs on this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Moreover, if the transaction fails.

He Song would have at least a hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs on him.

He himself, being in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, was precisely lacking this kind of mid-grade spirit elixir that could increase his cultivation level.

If he could get a large number of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs, his cultivation progress would surely be faster.

Besides, he was just a provider of information, and even if things were exposed, he could completely disassociate himself.

As for taking action, it’s likely he wouldn’t have to do it himself.

In this way, safety could naturally be assured.

Ideas flashed through his mind.

The more Xu Jie thought about it, the more feasible his idea seemed.

With this thought in mind, Xu Jie was about to think again, but suddenly realized that he had already spent too much time.

If he continued to contemplate, He Song, who had been waiting for a long time, might become alert.

In order to avoid alarming him,

Xu Jie quickly shook his head, pretending to have just awakened from a dream.

Glancing at the hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs before him, Xu Jie put on an apologetic smile towards He Song.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, this hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs are of enormous value. Even though I’m the Sub-Pavilion Master here, I couldn’t help but lose composure a bit. I hope you won’t mind.”

After apologising, Xu Jie’s face regained composure.

At this moment, Xu Jie finally resumed the demeanor of a Sub-Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, and began to quote a price.

“According to the market price, the value of these hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs is four hundred thousand spirit stones.”

“However, the Treasure Pavilion collects items at a low price and sells high. I am willing to pay three hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones to acquire these hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs.”

“I wonder what you think?”

Having thrown out his base price, Xu Jie didn’t look at He Song and instead focused on making tea.

Looking at him, it seemed he was completely immersed in making tea and didn’t care about the outside world anymore.

However, in his heart, Xu Jie was not immersed in making tea as it seemed on the surface.

On the contrary,

While pretending to focus on making tea,

Xu Jie was thinking about how to turn the thoughts he had just had into reality.

Seeing this,

He Song, who had been observing Xu Jie’s expression the whole time, had a hunch.

Of course, he noticed Xu Jie’s earlier discomposure.

However, he didn’t think much of it.

No matter if it was an ordinary cultivator or the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion,

Anyone would probably lose composure when seeing a hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs suddenly being placed before them.

After all, these hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs are of great value. For a Master, four hundred thousand spirit stones are certainly not a small amount.

You should know,

When He Song purchased the Purple Sky Meditation Skill in the past, such a secret technique only cost him over a hundred thousand spirit stones.

So by this calculation, for any master, these four hundred thousand spirit stones are certainly not a small amount.

Under such circumstances, losing composure is normal.

However,

When Xu Jie quickly concealed his previous discomposure, apologized for it, and quickly quoted his price,

He Song was a bit puzzled.

For someone like He Song, who had clawed his way from the very bottom to his current cultivation level,

Xu Jie’s response was unexpected.

He didn’t offer to give He Song additional gains, nor did he suggest that He Song should visit again next time. He didn’t even mention any kickbacks.

On the contrary, he directly stated his bottom price.

If He Song agreed, there would be a happy ending for everyone.

If He Song disagreed, Xu Jie would probably show him out the next moment.

This way of doing things clearly reflected an impersonal, take it or leave it attitude.

This way of handling things wouldn’t make He Song, the seller, feel good.

By then, it would indeed be a take it or leave it situation.

However, after dealing in this way, whether He Song stays or leaves, the decision power would fall into He Song’s hands.

But why?

As the Sub-pavilion Master here, why does Xu Jie display a take it or leave it attitude when encountering a big deal?

Doesn’t he realize what a cultivator who can sell a hundred bottles of mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs at once means to a branch of the Treasure Pavilion?

He Song, who is familiar with Master Luo Jing, knows that the earnings of each branch of the Treasure Pavilion are directly related to the earnings of the Pavilion Master.

The higher the branch’s earnings, the more spirit stones are sent to the main pavilion, the higher the Sub-Pavilion Master’s annual salary.

You could say that if you manage a branch of the Treasure Pavilion well, you can naturally make a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, just what reason does Xu Jie have to display an attitude of take it or leave it?

Could it be…

He doesn’t want to buy the mid-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs from me?

But if that’s the case, why?

You should know, the last time I sold low-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs in another Immortal City, the Sub-Pavilion Master there had offered a high price of one thousand and fifty spirit stones.

The market price for low-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs is a thousand spirit stones.

That Sub-Pavilion Master not only didn’t undercut, but in fact gave He Song fifty spirit stones more.

His intent was naturally to foster good relations and entice He Song to sell his elixirs at his place in the future.

But now, upon coming to the Eight-vein Immortal City, the price Xu Jie gave turned out to be completely opposite.
