187: Every sip and every bite is destined by fate

Wang Dalong quickly pleaded, "Senior, please stop teasing me."

"With the supreme card, you also get a 10% discount, which comes out to a total of fourteen million four hundred forty thousand."

"This is already selling at a loss; the most I can do is round down the number for Senior."

Gu Liangyuan immediately decided, "Alright, one million four hundred forty thousand it is."

Hmm?

Truly, rounding down the number.

Wang Dalong naturally disagreed, and after a round of bargaining by Gu Liangyuan, the price was settled at thirteen million eight hundred thousand.

The exhausted Wang Dalong felt utterly drained.

In all my years in this business, this is the first time I've met someone who can bargain so fiercely.

Gu Liangyuan took out his Storage Pouch, and just as he was about to hand it to Wang Dalong, he suddenly slapped his forehead:

"I forgot, I only brought thirteen million five hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones when I left."

Seeing Wang Dalong about to cry from being haggled, Gu Liangyuan immediately spoke without waiting for him to say anything:

"But you don't need to worry, I will somehow gather the remaining three hundred thousand for you."

Saying that, Gu Liangyuan turned to Song Xianer and said,

"Xian'er, give me all the Spirit Stones in your Storage Pouch."

Song Xianer immediately understood and unfastened a Storage Pouch from her waist:

"Master, I only have five hundred pieces left here."

Gu Liangyuan took the Storage Pouch, looked at Song Xianer, then looked at Wang Dalong.

Wang Dalong tactfully reached out to take it.

Selling to Gu Liangyuan at this price was truly a loss.

However, this covering sky pearl had been put up for auction twice without being sold, and it had been with him for five or six years now. From an initial price of eighty million to its current ten million, it had remained unwanted.

No matter what, at least it was sold; it was better than being stuck with it.

"This is enough. If I make Senior gather more, it would seem like I have no consideration."

Gu Liangyuan frowned and said, "Wouldn't that make me seem untrustworthy?"

While saying this, his hands didn't stop, and he handed the Storage Pouch to Wang Dalong.

Wang Dalong held the Storage Pouch, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

I sold the goods, so why do I feel so bad?

Just then, Gu Liangyuan's movements stiffened.

As Wang Dalong wondered why, Gu Liangyuan's Aura suddenly surged!

The next moment, the pressure of Nascent Soul Realm eighth stage permeated, and the invisible Aura sent the few people on the scene flying back. Even Wang Dalong, who had the highest cultivation, directly collapsed to the ground.

The Spirit Treasures on the display shelves were also scattered everywhere.

Fortunately, Gu Liangyuan reacted in time, withdrawing the pressure as soon as it was released, which prevented anyone from getting injured.

Oriental Heng successfully formed his Core, and Gu Liangyuan broke through again!

Looking at Wang Dalong, who was sprawled on the ground with a face full of disbelief, Gu Liangyuan helped him up and spoke with an apologetic tone:

"I apologize, the feeling suddenly came, and I suddenly broke through. I am willing to bear the losses caused to your shop."

Looking at the mess on the floor, Gu Liangyuan's apology this time was sincere.

But to Wang Dalong's ears, it sounded so wrong!

I'm going to fight you geniuses!

If I remember correctly, it hasn't even been half a year since you, Gu Liangyuan, underwent your Soul Transformation tribulation, right?

In just three to five months, you're about to reach Void Refining!?

Thinking of this, Wang Dalong was suddenly startled!

No!

Even a Genius couldn't break through so easily!

Moreover, there were rumors that Gu Liangyuan had broken through Bei Dou Pass a while ago.

How did he break through Bei Dou Pass at the Nascent Soul Realm!

As the manager of a Gathering Treasure Pavilion branch, he had more information than an ordinary Cultivator.

Coupled with Gu Liangyuan's endless trump cards, Wang Dalong suddenly had a bold guess!

There is only one truth!

That is, Gu Liangyuan's true strength is much stronger than what he shows!

His Nascent Soul cultivation is all a disguise!

The fundamental purpose is to make his enemies careless, and then to ambush them!

And this enemy is very likely the Ancient Ink Dynasty, which has always coveted the Supreme Sacred Ground.

Gu Liangyuan wasn't breaking through just now; it was because I was asking for too high a price, and he deliberately intimidated me!

If I don't know what's good for me, I might very well follow in Ditian's footsteps!

Looking at Gu Liangyuan's apologetic gaze, Wang Dalong felt indignant!

This is too much bullying!

I'm already selling at a loss, and you're still not satisfied!

Though angry, Wang Dalong dared not show any trace of it on his face.

After getting up, he put on a big smile:

"It was my lack of understanding."

Under Gu Liangyuan's puzzled gaze, Wang Dalong suppressed the pain in his heart and pulled out a jade ruyi from his embrace:

"Senior patronized my Gathering Treasure Pavilion's business, how can I not show my appreciation?"

"This is a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, the White Jade Ruyi. Carrying it on your person can increase your luck."

"Today, I will gift this jade ruyi to Senior in my personal capacity, as a way to forge a good connection."

Looking at the jade ruyi, Gu Liangyuan was a bit confused.

How come he was acting as if haggling a few hundred thousand was like taking his life, but now he's giving away a Low Grade Spirit Treasure worth millions, even tens of millions, just like that?

Seeing the fear flash in Wang Dalong's eyes, combined with his previous trembling, Gu Liangyuan only thought he was afraid of his reputation as an Eunuch, so he shook his head and refused:

"Fellow Daoist, don't be alarmed. This title of Eunuch is merely a rumor; I've never had any preference for castrated men."

It would have been better if Gu Liangyuan hadn't said that; as soon as he did, Wang Dalong became even more terrified!

He felt that if everything he had thought before was just his speculation, now Gu Liangyuan was practically making it clear!

If I'm not satisfied with what you give me, I'll castrate you later!

Wang Dalong was on the verge of tears. He was usually the type of person who felt cheated if he didn't get a good deal!

Now, having to dig into his personal stash, the feeling was just too unbearable.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out another copper coin from his embrace:

"This copper coin is a Mountain Ghost Coin, effective for suppressing and nurturing souls!"

"Although it's not a Spirit Treasure, it's a rare Heaven Rank top-tier Magical Artifact of the Ghost Dao."

"I see a faint hint of Ghost Qi lingering around that young friend behind Senior, so I imagine this treasure will be of some help to her. I'll gift it to Senior along with the other item."

Seeing Wang Dalong's eyes red, gritting his teeth, looking as if he would rather die if Gu Liangyuan didn't accept.

Furthermore, this treasure was indeed rare and would be of great use to Zai Xiyue, so Gu Liangyuan no longer refused.

At the same time, he also wondered how there could be such people in the Cultivation World, eager to give away treasures.

After Gu Liangyuan accepted it, Wang Dalong let out a long sigh of relief.

After seeing the Master and three disciples out of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, Wang Dalong plopped down on the ground and burst into tears.

He had been in business for over two hundred years, and this was the first time he had lost money!

Wuwuwu~ This is too much bullying.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, he might have tried to retaliate.

But facing someone like Gu Liangyuan, who could act against the Ancient Ink Dynasty and remain unharmed, he didn't even dare to harbor thoughts of revenge.

He resigned himself to bad luck and swallowed this silent loss.

However, what he didn't know was that what he considered a losing business transaction turned out to be the most correct investment of his life!

Many years later, when he was in distress, Gu Liangyuan encountered him.

Gu Liangyuan, remembering the gift of the treasure from that day, even went against Forget-Love Peak's principle of not saving two people, and made an exception to save him once.

From then on, he joined Forget-Love Peak and rose swiftly!

Perhaps his action was not out of kindness, but it brought him good fortune nonetheless.

Every cause has its effect, as if predetermined.
