Qu Jianlei and the other three followed Kun Xiu to build their foundation, passed through the first courtyard, and came to the second courtyard.
At the entrance of the main house, Yan Xuemin was standing and chatting with a Jindan Zhenren.
Seeing the four people coming, he quickly smiled and greeted them, "Everyone, this is Master Heyang."
Zhenren Heyang has white hair and beard, but a rosy complexion, giving him a bit of an immortal air.
In response to Yan Xuemin's introduction, he just nodded slightly, so slightly that it was almost imperceptible.
Yan Xuemin pointed at Jia Shuiqing again and said, "This is Jia's friend. The goods are theirs."
"Well," Heyang Zhenren nodded calmly again, then waved his hand and said lightly, "Let's talk inside."
As both of them are Jindan Zhenren, it can be seen from their speeches that Heyang is relatively the dominant one.
After entering the room, the maid brought tea. As the shopkeeper, Foundation Establishment Kun Xiu took the initiative to make tea and pour water for the four people.
However, Heyang Zhenren did not say much politely, but asked directly, "Where did you get the bodies of the tiger men from?"
Jia Shuiqing answered very straightforwardly, "It involves our secrets, so it is not appropriate to tell you."
"Oh," Zhenren Heyang nodded indifferently. The one who could take out the corpse of the tiger man's Nascent Soul had the qualifications to say so.
Then he added, "Let's talk business. Brother Xuemin said that you have a complete corpse of a tiger man's Yuanying. I hope to see it with my own eyes."
Jia Shuiqing replied calmly, "I have already told Master Xuemin that it is a Nascent Soul... you have to spend spirit stones to see it!"
Master Heyang looked at her indifferently, and Jia Shuiqing also looked at him calmly.
The two of them stared at each other for four or five seconds, and He Yang Zhenren said very straightforwardly, "Can we take a look at the Jindan corpse?"
"This is fine," Jia Shuiqing answered simply, but instead of taking it back, he asked a question out loud.
"I wonder if Master Heyang purchased the body for his own use or to resell it?"
"Well...as for the golden elixir, you can use it yourself," Zhenren Heyang answered affirmatively after a slight hesitation.
Jia Shuiqing raised his hand and released the corpse of the tiger man Jindan again, with two bloody spots on its legs.
Zhenren Heyang used his spiritual sense to sense it casually, and then nodded, "It is indeed well maintained."
"If this body was intact, I could give you 600,000. Now I can only give you 550,000... If you're okay with it, let's make the deal."
Jia Shuiqing shook his head. "One price, six thousand middle spirits. If it doesn't work out, forget it."
Theoretically, the exchange rate between medium spirit stones and ordinary spirit stones is one to one hundred, but there is usually a premium.
Six thousand middle spirits are roughly equivalent to six hundred and fifty thousand. However, it is not surprising to use middle spirits to settle accounts for goods involving golden elixirs.
As mentioned before, the tiger man's corpse actually has no current price, and Yan Xuemin's psychological price is 500,000.
Jia Shuiqing just raised the price a little bit, which cannot be said to be excessive.
"Okay," He Yang Zhenren nodded without hesitation, "If the deal is done, I can see the corpse of the Nascent Soul, right?"
As expected, he was a big customer introduced by Yan Xuemin. He was too lazy to bargain for the difference of one hundred thousand spirit stones.
"No problem," Jia Shuiqing nodded decisively, "I'll pay you and get you the goods."
Zhenren Heyang waved his hand, and Foundation Building Kun Xiu walked out, and soon came back with a storage bag.
"Here is the 6,000 middle spirit. Please, friend Jia, order a little... I'll give you the storage bag as a gift."
Since Yan Xuemin did not introduce Jia Shuiqing's cultivation level, no matter whether she was Zhenren Heyang or Kun Xiu, they all called her friend Jia.
It was just a transaction anyway, and they had no intention of finding out the truth.
Jia Shuiqing took the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and nodded calmly, "Just right."
The storage bag is not big, only about four or five cubic meters. If it is sold, it will only be worth a few thousand spirit stones. It is nothing as a gift.
Foundation Building Kun Xiu raised his hand, picked up the tiger man's golden elixir corpse on the ground, and said simply, "Deal."
Then she glanced at the maid not far away and said, "Exit."
Not only did the maid in the Qi Refining Stage retreat, but even she, the shopkeeper, retreated to the door.
Zhenren Heyang raised his hand, made a gesture, and pointed outwards casually.
In the small courtyard, there was a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy, blocking the inside and outside. It turned out that he was the one who activated the formation.
Then he raised his hand towards Jia Shuiqing and said, "Now... can you show it?"
Jia Shuiqing raised his hand again and released a tiger-man corpse that was nearly ten meters long.
Zhenren Heyang used his spiritual sense to scan again, then slowly stood up from the chair, "Surprisingly... it is really the tiger man's Yuanying."
Almost at the same time, Yan Xuemin's spiritual sense also swept over and was also slightly stunned.
The shopkeeper Kun Xiu at the door opened his eyes wide and stared at the huge tiger man's corpse without blinking.
Zhenren Heyang walked around the tiger man's body, looking thoughtful.
After turning around twice, he stopped and looked at Jia Shuiqing, speaking indifferently.
"This tiger man's Yuanying should not be known to anyone, but I still want to ask, where did you get it from?"
"It was our people who solved it," Jia Shuiqing said calmly, his eyes clear, "It's inconvenient to talk about the rest."
He Yang Zhenren was silent for a few breaths, and then spoke again, "I don't want to do anything rash, but... I need to test it myself."
The strange corpse of a tiger-man Yuanying may mean an unknown battle, but it may also be suspected of being a fraud.
The cultivators in Dongsheng know too much about the tiger-man’s Nascent Soul. Heyang has reached the Golden Core stage, so he knows even more than anyone else.
He couldn't quite tell that the body was a fake, but he had to be on guard.
If the tiger man's Yuanying was really killed by the other party, then regardless of justice or strength, he must maintain respect.
He, who has always been a little arrogant, had to explain himself, thinking that his behavior was somewhat rash.
"Let's talk about the price first," Jia Shuiqing was not angry. In the past six months, the team has figured out the past of the tiger man.
The tiger people, who have not been seen for hundreds of years, now have a strange corpse of a Nascent Soul. It’s no wonder that people would be suspicious.
But she would not back down. "If we can agree on a price, it won't be too late to do it in person."
Heyang looked at her again, and Jia Shuiqing still looked at him indifferently.
The two of them stared at each other for more than half a minute, and the air in the room seemed to be stagnant.
Finally, Yan Xuemin couldn't help but coughed lightly, "Brother Heyang, please give me a price for my sake. Whether it works out or not is another matter."
If you can't even agree on the price, there's no need for you to check it out, right?
Upon hearing this, Master Heyang finally turned around and looked at him, and the tense atmosphere in the room began to slowly dissipate.
He smiled helplessly, "It's really hard for me to name this price, but I can be sure of one thing..."
"If you can explain the origin of this tiger man's Yuanying, the transaction price will increase by at least 20%!"
"That's right," Yan Xuemin nodded, and then looked at Jia Shuiqing, "If you can afford a Nascent Soul corpse, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money."
"As long as there is a story, premium is not a problem. The more exciting the story, the higher the price."
Upon hearing this, Jia Shuiqing nodded slightly. She was also very clear about the relationship between luxury goods and wonderful stories.
But she still said, "There's no story. We don't know what this guy is called. Anyway, if we meet him, we kill him."
Given the hatred that the East's cultivators have for the tiger people, isn't it normal that they take action without saying a word?
It’s not that Jia Shuiqing can’t make up a story, but if that’s the case, the buyer will publicize the story even if it’s just to show off.
This didn’t fit in with the team’s need for a low profile, so she gave up.
Heyang and Yan Xuemin looked at each other helplessly: Are these people stupid?
After a while, Yan Xuemin spoke again, "Friend Jia, this is something that can earn you more spirit stones..."
Jia Shuiqing shook his head slightly, "A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way."
"And Master Heyang still needs a story for this corpse, which means... you want to resell it?"
"I guess... it's going to be resold," Heyang had to admit this.
Yan's family thought that he was a wealthy man and could afford such luxury goods, but he himself had his doubts.
"However, you can entrust us to auction it. In the past, the commission was 15%. For this corpse... half of it is fine."
The Yuanying Tiger Man will not be the most expensive item, but it is definitely rare enough, and he can also use it for publicity.
"Finally...it's going to be auctioned?" Jia Shuiqing frowned helplessly.
Does she really not want to hold such a high-profile auction? Wouldn’t it be better to limit the news to a small circle of people?
But she also noticed that there were too few items related to the world of immortal cultivation in her team.
There wasn't even a flying boat for transportation.
If one wants to blend into the world of immortal cultivation without leaving a trace, this foundation is really not enough and one must purchase a lot of items.
This requires a large amount of spirit stones, but the team's mobile spirit stone reserves are limited.
She thought for a moment and said, "Since it's an auction, what is the reserve price that Master Heyang intends to set?"
"Six thousand... no, five thousand supreme spirits," although Heyang was a little arrogant, he did dare to make the decision.
"If it's less than 5,000 Supreme Spirits, I'll buy it, but I want to test it myself!"
"Seven thousand Supreme Spirits!" Jia Shuiqing still chose to bargain, "As for the story, if the buyer is willing, you can make it up as you like."
In other words, she gave up the opportunity to promote her own company - whoever wants to show off can do so to the maximum!
"You..." He Yang looked at her sideways and nodded slowly, "You really don't care about your reputation..."
Jia Shuiqing replied calmly, "Compared to our ancestors who were tortured to death by the tiger people, we should be content."
"What an insight!" He Yang Zhenren actually raised a thumb and nodded at her, "Seven Thousand Supreme Spirits, I agree."
"Wait a moment," Jia Shuiqing turned his head and looked at Yan Xuemin, "Master Xuemin, can you be my guarantor?"
No one knows who this person is, so we have to find out.
"Okay," Yan Xuemin nodded. "I can't tell you the specifics, but Brother Heyang is absolutely trustworthy."
Jia Shuiqing looked at Heyang Zhenren again, "The seller concealed his identity... This shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"
"Of course," Heyang answered without hesitation, "Friend Jia is willing to give up the story, and the buyer should be eager to keep the seller's information secret."
"That's fine with me," Jia Shuiqing nodded, "Seven thousand Supreme Spirits, pay now."
