The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 144

In the end, Jiang Chen was someone who had lived two lifetimes. Hence, how could he possibly be provoked by such childish tactics, and from someone jumping around like a clown?    

Jiang Chen grinned with disdain, “I won't be able to afford it? Is there something that is not sold under the sky?”    

The person in charge sneered coldly, his eyes sweeping across the rest of the merchants, clearly warning them not to sell to Jiang Chen at any price. Otherwise, it would be a denial for him and the Northern Palace.    

Except, Jiang Chen ignored his small movements, a hint of a meaningful smile stuck at the corner of his lips during all this.    

His relaxed gaze swept across the entire merchant. They averted their eyes, did not even raise their heads, or smiled sadly and shook their heads.    

Obviously if they had to vote, they would not side with strangers.    

Although their relationship was not necessarily good with this person from the Northern Palace, and was not of the same mind as this person in charge.    

But circumstances demand that. This is the hidden rule.    

The Northern Palace representatives were clearly aware of this. His confidence was further strengthened upon seeing everyone's reaction, and he smiled arrogantly at Jiang Chen to show strength.    

Meaning is clear: Yes? Why don't you try and buy something?    

Jiang Chen remained as uncommitted as the wind and clouds, laughing out loud as he took a small step towards the middle.    

He raised one hand, a pill bottle appeared in his hand. His voice was flat, a smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth as he said calmly, “I have the highest ranked Profound Ocean Pill here that can instantly recover seventy percent of actual Qi. I don't need to explain any further about the value of this pill. With this pill, I will exchange it for ten blades of Bluelily Grass and twenty Wood Pellets. The first one comes, the first one is served, without the need to wait beyond the time limit.”    

Those little steps and tricks, and so-called hidden business rules are actually very weak, only with regard to personal considerations.    

There are no hidden rules that cannot be broken in the face of absolute advantage. Moreover, those hidden rules were not reliable at all.    

The highest ranked Extensive Ocean Pill could recover seventy percent of true Qi in an instant.    

In the pill realm of charging qi of the entire sixteen kingdom alliance, pills other than the Profound Ocean Pill could at most recover forty percent of true qi.    

A pill expert could sometimes surpass and produce a pill that recovered fifty percent of its true qi.    

However, seventy percent recovery was unprecedented.    

The Hall of Healing had actually started producing the Vast Ocean Pill in the Eastern Kingdom a few months ago, but the amount of production had not been high and a pitiful amount had flowed into the Skylaurel Kingdom.    

But once the Vast Ocean Pill entered, it had made an enormous wave in the Skylaurel Kingdom. It has become the most popular fad, and it is difficult to find even a single pill in the entire upper class society of the kingdom.    

This is not surprising. After all, the amount produced by the Hall of Healing was not even enough to meet the demand in the Eastern Kingdom itself. There are a lot of orders.    

The number of pills that made it into the sixteen kingdoms was very few.    

Therefore, although the Extensive Ocean Pill had a good reputation in the Skylaurel Kingdom, the number of people who possessed this pill was very few.    

Plus, no one had ever heard of the highest ranked Profound Ocean Pill that could recover seventy percent of true Qi.    

The entire transaction area suddenly became extremely silent after Jiang Chen spoke, and solemn silence ruled the scene.    

Everyone seemed to be closing their mouths excitedly.    

“Pil Lautan Luas highest rating? Spontaneously recover seventy percent of actual qi?” The mind of a person finally started moving again.    

“As replace only ten blades of Bluelily Grass and twenty Wood Pellets? This... is this a joke?”    

"Impossible? The value of ten blades of Bluelily Grass and twenty Wood Pellets was not even comparable to an ordinary Vast Ocean Pill? Highest rank? Is this true?”    

“Could this young man go crazy and talk nonsense?”    

Words can be spoken unreasonably, but no pill should be forged. Jiang Chen did not indulge in meaningless booze, but simply turned the bottle over so that the highest ranked Extensive Ocean Pill landed in the heart of his palm.    

The moment the pill appeared, everyone's eyes simultaneously focused on it.    

In an instant, everyone's breath became hasty and their eyes became sharp.    

It really is a Wide Sea Pill!    

The color and luster, presence, purity, and appearance were filled with spirit power, it was like a pill that contained the presence of life, vigor and vitality that moved the heart.    

This kind of temptation is like a beautiful woman with an agile figure and stunning curves, wearing only a thin veil and the splendor underneath moving in and out of sight, so it is almost impossible for a person to resist and make his blood vessels involuntarily pumped out.    

Can anyone resist such temptation?    

For some so-called faces? What is the so-called hidden rule? To beat up a stranger because of that bunch of jerks from the Northern Palace?    

That's obviously very ridiculous.    

“My brother, you mean that? Me, I am willing to offer twenty blades of Bluelily Grass and fifty Wood Pellets for trading. No matter how much you need, just tell me and I will help you collect it.”    

“Don't listen to him, this is our Southern Palace territory. No one here has more stock than us. Brother, we can discuss as much as you need.”    

“Please, aren't you shy about talking about spirit medicine in front of us Qingyang Valley disciples? Don't you feel ashamed? Who among you has Bluelily Grass and Wood Pellets of higher quality than our Qingyang Valley?”    

Qingyang Valley?    

Jiang Chen could not help but look towards that person. It was a middle-aged man dressed like a farmer and was the unrecognizable type of person in the crowd.    

However, this fellow's eyebrows were currently dancing around happily as his face was filled with a burning spirit. When he saw Jiang Chen's gaze fixed on him, he nodded and bowed more curiously, giving the impression of being overwhelmed by unexpected help.    

“This person may not know the agreement between me and Elder Fei? Otherwise, how could he dare to join the Northern Palace early and refuse to sell it to me?”    

Jiang Chen paid no heed to small matters like this at the moment but smiled faintly. He didn't say yes or no, but only paid attention to this group of people.    

“Brother, how about this. Give face to my Southern Palace and you can come see me whenever you need spirit medicine, and I will give you ten percent discount for everything.”    

“I'll say it again. All of you should step aside when it comes to spirit medicine in the Skylaurel Kingdom. What is the function of Qingyang Valley? We specialize in spirit medicine cultivation, that's our expertise.” The middle-aged man of Qingyang Valley who looked like a farmer said with a proud expression.    

“Sst! Look at you walking back and forth! What precious thing has not been seen by our Myriad Treasure Palace? You have only planted a few spirit medicines, why don't you compete in other areas with our Myriad Treasure Palace?” A disciple of Myriad Treasure Palace opened his mouth to reply and then immediately faced Jiang Chen, his face filled with smiles. “This brother, surely you have heard of the reputation of the Myriad Treasure Palace. We do great business, especially in appreciating exotic and bizarre treasures like this highest-ranked Extensive Ocean Pill. These pills were hard to come by in the Skylaurel Kingdom, and there was no point in exchanging them for just Bluelily Grass and Wood Pellets. How about this, my My My Myriad Treasure Palace will give these items to you for free. Treat it as a sign of friendship. I only have one request, and that is to send you your highest ranked Broad Ocean Pill. If we auction it off at the auction this fall, we might be able to get an incredible price. What the hell are you saying? Not only do you not lose, but you also make a big profit. And by attracting VIPs to the Myriad Treasure Palace, I was able to earn advance and income. This is a win-win situation!”    

This disciple must be from the Myriad Treasure Palace. It seems that he is good at business. His words were logical and reasonable, as well as paying attention to personal and business considerations. This even made Jiang Chen feel a little tempted.    

At this moment, the person who was the worst hit was the person in charge of the Azure Heaven Northern Palace. His face was dark as if someone was splashing ink on his face.    

All the merchants had betrayed him in the middle of the fight and were racing against each other to offer the person a profit, practically wanting to serve themselves on a silver platter.    

What was this?    

It slapped his face, leaving not the slightest trace of his face for him, a disciple of the Azure Heaven Northern Palace!    

But he also knew the reason these people lost their composure. If it was someone else, he would definitely do the same.    

Who could resist the highest ranked Extensive Ocean Pill?!    

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene getting hotter, his face grew hotter. He wanted to sneak away before anyone noticed him so as not to lose face again.    

We should know, he just said some nice words. If Jiang Chen could buy Bluelily Grass and Wood Pellets here, then he would crawl around the transaction area three times!    

Now, under these circumstances, not to mention sales, there was a large group of people who were crying and wailing to pounce on the offer by giving it to Jiang Chen for free. He really lost a lot of face this time.    

“Eh? Brother Zhang, where are you going?”    

It was a pity that a piercing sound rang out to her when she was already halfway out of the door.    

Someone has complained to him!    

This Northern Palace disciple was eager to crawl into the crack of the ground. His entire body became stiff where he stood. He could not walk or retreat.    

His expression was like someone patting a basin filled with dirt and peeing to his face, a bedraggled emblem.    

“I... I'm going to *****.” The person in charge with the surname Zhang spoke with a bitter face and a conflicted expression.    

This suppressed reasoning resulted in a wave of sarcastic ridicule from all present. Since the hidden rules had now been broken, people no longer had any worries.    

Jiang Chen smiled, “Your bold and lofty words earlier did not seem to be of much use. I really thought your Northern Palace could corner the market in a domineering manner. Looks like you just wrapped yourself in tiger skin to intimidate others.”    

“You... brat, don't be too cocky!”    

“Who is arrogant? Who just did something heavy? Who said if we could buy these two items, he would crawl three times around this area?” Gouyu inevitably took one step forward, placed his hand on his waist and said, “Now, are you going to crawl around the transaction area three times alone, alone, or should I look for a rope and lead you around for three circles? ?”    

“I...” As a disciple of the Northern Palace, this is the first time the person in charge with the surname Zhang has lost so much face. He looked around desperately in all directions, sending out all sorts of pleas for help, hoping that someone would help him.    

But who would help him get out of his current predicament?    

Everyone is just an acquaintance of each other in setting up a booth here to do business. They can help him oppress strangers. But now that they knew that not only could they not oppress the stranger but instead had to curry favor with him, whoever defended disciple Zhang must have lost half his brain.    

When the wall is about to collapse, everyone pushes it. Although no one stepped forward to push him, their facial expressions clearly showed that they were watching a good show that was not much different from knocking down a wall together.    

“Forget it, forget it. A group of people who forgo honor for the sake of the prospect of profit and have no loyalty to speak of. I, disciple of the Northern Palace, would rather die than be humiliated.”    

That person tensed his neck and decided to take on the role of a villain, scoffing at Jiang Chen, “Either you chop off my head with a single blow or forget about making me, a disciple of the Northern Palace, bend my knee and bow to you! That is absolutely impossible!”
