24: Transaction! Wang Chen was shocked!

Wang Chen just reached out to pick up the blood-stained scale, but in the next second, he quickly pulled his hand back.

He took a pair of gloves out of his Storage Pouch, put them on, and only then did he take the scale.

He said with eyes full of obsession.

"The aura is strong. Was it really formed only recently?"

"Yesterday."

"A Five Spirit Beast, a wind-attribute Five Spirit Beast?"

"Correct."

"Judging by its aura and the Late Stage Spiritual Qi of the scale, is it a Dao Foundation Realm Five Spirit Beast?"

"Indeed!"

Wang Chen rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked up to meet Shen Li's smiling face, and said impulsively.

"Where did you obtain it?"

Shen Li did not speak, his smile only deepening.

In an instant, Wang Chen understood what Shen Li meant and said crossly.

"One condition!"

"Three conditions!"

"Impossible!"

"Let's compromise, two conditions!"

Wang Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Deal!"

It was no wonder Wang Chen was so serious; the Five Spirit Beast was simply too rare, a treasure that had a price but no market.

The value of the Five Spirit Beast had been mentioned before, and a Dao Foundation Realm Five Spirit Beast could even enhance a Dao Foundation Cultivator's cultivation and foundation!

Furthermore, for that Wind Spirit Pearl, one only needed to swallow it, and a Foundation Establishment True Person could derive a High Grade Divine Ability.

Who could ignore the temptation of a High Grade Divine Ability?

No one could!

Therefore, just for this piece of information, they were willing to pay the price of two conditions to obtain the whereabouts of the Five Spirit Beast!

Shen Li's eyes flickered, but he spoke.

"Ten days ago, at night, I felt uneasy and vaguely sensed that the heavens and earth had changed; a natural disaster appeared!"

"A tornado?" Wang Chen's eyes flashed.

Shen Li nodded and continued.

"Outside Black Ridge City, a massive tornado hundreds of meters in size appeared."

Wang Chen paced the hall anxiously, his voice full of excitement.

"That's it! That's it! It is definitely a wind-attribute Five Spirit Beast!"

"The Yellow Sand Plains has powerful wind-attribute forces; this kind of extreme Spiritual Qi is best suited as a breeding ground for the growth of a Five Spirit Beast!"

Shen Li's eyes flashed, but he said.

"It's just that this tornado strangely changed its path; it didn't head towards Black Ridge City, but instead dove into the plain!"

"It went straight towards the Northwest!"

"I felt something was wrong, so I followed behind it, and managed to snatch this scale from the mouths of two sand beasts!"

Wang Chen listened with a surging heart.

"Good, good, good! Good, good, good! Perhaps that Five Spirit Beast is hiding from something, or perhaps it encountered it because its condition isn't good! Your luck, kid, is truly ridiculously good!"

He looked at Shen Li with full envy.

Shen Li smiled, but hid the information about the Purple Mansion Great True Person.

Nonsense, if he let others know about the Purple Mansion Great True Person, who would dare to go explore? Wouldn't his information then become a scam?

As for them exploring, searching, and subsequently discovering the Purple Mansion Great True Person, that would have nothing to do with him.

After all, for a Qi Refining Layer 1 Cultivator like him, being able to see a Five Spirit Beast was already considered lucky. Was a Purple Mansion Great True Person something he should be seeing?

Clearly not!

This is called empty-handed wolf-catching!

This is called professional!

Conning and swindling? Fraud? Nonexistent.

One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to suffer!

When Wang Chen's mood calmed down, he looked at Shen Li with complex eyes and said.

"Speak, what do you want?"

"Two conditions. First, I need Spirit Stones. Second, I need a Cultivator who is skilled in earth-attribute Techniques and proficient in construction and building to help me repair Black Ridge City."

"The Formation also has problems."

Wang Chen pondered for a moment, then said.

"Easy to say, but the value of this information... I will ask someone to accompany you; the raw Materials will be provided by my Wang Family, but I cannot give you too many Spirit Stones."

"Seven hundred!"

Shen Li frowned, then said.

"One thousand. Also, the Formation needs to be repaired!"

Wang Chen just wanted to refuse, but Shen Li smiled and said.

"The remaining three hundred is a hush money fee."

Wang Chen was then stunned, pointed at Shen Li's young and elegant face, and began to laugh heartily.

"Good, good, good, what a Shen Family Immortal Seed, what a Shen Li, good, good, good! Your Shen Family really has produced a little fox!"

"Fine, we'll do as you say!"

Shen Li then sat upright, took a sip of tea, and said.

"Then, Wang Family Uncle, we should consider the ownership of this item."

Wang Chen snorted coldly.

"This thing naturally belongs to my Wang Family."

Shen Li shook his head and said disapprovingly.

"This item is fresh and sufficient to be used as the main Material for a Low Grade Magical Artifact, especially since it is from the Dao Foundation Realm and is of the rare wind-attribute."

"Uncle's appetite is a bit too big."

"What do you want to do? Just say it. Don't keep dragging things out with me here!"

Wang Chen curled his lip, as if he had seen through everything, pressed his hand on the scale, and was clearly not prepared to let go.

He even started acting shamelessly and said.

"My dear nephew, our two families are Noble Families; when you have good things, you don't think of our Noble Families, but instead think of letting the fertile water flow into outsiders' fields? What are you thinking?"

Shen Li said calmly, "According to what Wang Family Uncle says, shouldn't I report this matter to the Shen Family?"

Wang Chen's face stiffened, and he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, his face turned blue and red, as if he had accepted his fate.

"My dear nephew, just say what you have to say; don't put on an act anymore!"

"Handing it over to the Shen Family would at most get you some resources and contributions, but it's far less than selling it, after all, this is an Opportunity you obtained yourself!"

Shen Li nodded, then said.

"I only need to exchange for what I want! So I want to proceed by way of auction!"

Wang Chen's eyes began to become dangerous.

In the Yellow Sand Plains, the value of the main Material for a wind-attribute Low Grade Magical Artifact goes without saying; if auctioned, the price would certainly soar.

What does this kid want to do?

Does he not care about any sense of propriety at all?

Just as he wanted to speak up to remind him, he saw Shen Li change the subject.

"It's just that our two families are after all Noble Families, and Wang Family Uncle has been quite caring towards me; how could I not want to keep the fertile water within our own fields?"

"I have a sea buckthorn fruit in my city that is about to become graded, and I see it in my eyes and worry about it in my heart."

"Graded? It needs at least Grade 9 Spiritual Soil to satisfy the root system conditions; even in my Crescent Lake Market, there aren't many pieces of this Grade 9 Spiritual Soil... My dear nephew..."

Speaking of this, he realized belatedly and said in disbelief.

"You have a piece of Grade 9 Spiritual Soil in your city?"

Shen Li did not hide it and nodded casually.

"It was just an Opportunity obtained by luck."

"But there is no Spiritual Vein."

"There is also a Grade 9 Living Spring Water Vein, which is enough."

For a long time... Wang Chen leaned back in his chair, looking at Shen Li as if he were looking at a monster.

He actually let out a sigh.

He smiled bitterly and said.

"Good, good, good! Good, good, good! Each generation produces new talents."

"This matter... I will discuss it with my Daoist brother; you just wait here for a moment."

"Thank you for your trouble!"

Shen Li's eyes flickered.

"Is it that Half-Step Foundation Establishment True Person in Crescent Lake Market?"
