Chapter 479: Chapter 0334: Good Not To Snatch_2 Chapter 479: Chapter 0334: Good Not To Snatch_2 “Could you please notify your Manor and see if anyone there wants to buy my Bloodline Bead? Don’t worry, if this deal goes through, I won’t skimp on your shop’s commission.” Qi Tian seemed to understand the rules of business pretty well.

What else could the shop owner say? He couldn’t forcibly take the Bloodline Bead from Qi Tian, neither could he drive him away, nor could he ignore his request. Since this place was for publicly posting tasks, they had to carefully maintain the reputation of the National Master Manor. If they failed to maintain it properly, who would come here to accept their tasks in the future?

“Hold on, I’ll notify them for you. By the way, who do you want your task to be assigned to? Our manor’s demand for special bloodlines isn’t small, even though your Bloodline Bead is large, I guess it could only satisfy one person’s needs if someone actually is interested in buying.” The shop owner said.

Without a second thought, Qi Tian said, “I’ve already quoted a price for that Bloodline Bead earlier. Whoever can afford it can have it.”

At this point, Qi Tian couldn’t directly request to meet Huang Liuyan, instead, he was rolling the dice, hoping to summon her. If he couldn’t, he would have to figure out another plan.

The shop owner nodded, “Wait for a moment. I will notify them for you. But don’t get your hopes too high. Your Bloodline Bead is a bit expensive, no guarantee someone would want to buy it.”

The shop owner turned around and entered a room. He didn’t need to go to the National Master Manor; he could easily contact those who posted tasks from here.

About ten minutes later, he reemerged from the room and said to Qi Tian, “I’ve contacted them. You will have to wait for a bit.”

Before long, a Half-step Golden Core cultivator walked into the shop. He said, “Who wants to sell the Frost Eagle’s special bloodline? My Master’s interested.”

The shop owner hurriedly came out from behind the counter to greet the Half-step Golden Core cultivator, “Elder Yu, you came!”

Elder Yu, whose real name was Yu Anqi, was Luo Yukun’s disciple, a Gold Core powerhouse of the National Master Manor. This master-disciple duo was infamous in the manor, not because of their strength but because of their unpopularity. As they were doing now, they didn’t even ask for the price before deciding to buy Qi Tian’s Bloodline Bead.

Yu Anqi scanned the shop owner and said, “If I didn’t come, did you expect my Master to come? You think you hold that much prestige?”

The shop owner grinned wryly. As an average Foundation Establishment cultivator, he didn’t have much standing in the manor, so he placated Yu Anqi with a smile, “How could I dare to bother Elder Luo? Sir here is the one who wants to sell the Bloodline Bead in our Manor.”

With his head held high, Yu Anqi glanced down his nose at Qi Tian. Qi Tian was disguised as a relatively mature individual, appearing to be in his twenties or thirties. Considering his age, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage was quite remarkable.

However, this didn’t change Yu Anqi’s attitude. Everyone knew that Bloodline Beads, condensed by special bloodlines, were precious. They were desired by nearly all cultivators. If Qi Tian came from a wealthy background, he would have used it for his own cultivation by now. But instead, he ran here to sell it which implied only one thing — he was short on money. Would someone from a wealthy background lack money? The fact that Qi Tian attained such a level of cultivation could simply be due to sheer luck. Now that his luck was wasting away, he started selling valuable items, and inevitably, he was treading on a path of decline.

Yu Anqi extended his hand and said, “Give me the Bloodline Bead. I want to take a look.”

Qi Tian pulled out the crystal vial but didn’t hand it over to Yu Anqi. Instead, he just let him have a quick glimpse, “We should set some ground rules first. I’m not selling it if I don’t get my asking price from you. There won’t be any haggling. I won’t accept it.”

“Well, well, you seem pretty confident. How many spirit stones do you plan to sell it for?” Yu Anqi appears nonchalant on the surface, but after the brief glimpse, he noticed that the Bloodline Bead Qi Tian presented is not something an ordinary person could possess, it’s substantially larger in size. He must get his hands on this item. Once he completes this task, he would definitely receive a reward from his master.

Before Qi Tian could speak, the organizer said, “1,500 middle-grade spirit stones is the asking price from this gentleman.”

“What? 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones? Are you robbing me?” Yu Anqi exclaimed in disbelief.

One middle-grade spirit stone can be traded for a hundred low-grade spirit stones, and fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones is no small sum. The small courtyard of about 120 square meters in Wanjie City that Qi Tian bought costs merely seventy thousand low-grade spirit stones. Even the event organizer, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in charge of the task postings for the National Master Manor, only receives a monthly income of around seventy to eighty low-grade spirit stones, and this is considered a high salary role. It is a job sought after by many Foundation Establishment cultivators of the National Master Manor.

In the Cultivation World, even the low-grade spirit stones are considerably valuable. Opening the bid with fifteen thousand akin to outright robbery.

“Robbery? If you could rob a Bloodline Bead, then go and rob one for me,” said Qi Tian nonchalantly.

Yu Anqi was left speechless by Qi Tian. Though spirit stones are highly valuable, you can always find them somewhere. The simplest way is to work like the organizer and steadily save. But a special bloodline isn’t the same; it is significantly more valuable and harder to find than spirit stones. Especially when the Bloodline Bead offered by Qi Tian is so large, making it extremely hard to come by.

“Three hundred middle-grade spirit stones. If you accept this price, I will buy it,” Yu Anqi bargained.

“At that price, I’ll take however many you have,” Qi Tian responded bluntly.

Yu Anqi was irritated by Qi Tian’s comment, yet he could not voice his frustration in such a setting and proposed instead, “I can add on another fifty middle-grade spirit stones. This is my final offer.”

Qi Tian couldn’t be bothered to respond, he simply shook his head.

Yes, Yu Anqi wanted to complete this task for his master, but purchasing the Bloodline Bead with 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones would lead to his master scolding him mercilessly. Under no circumstance could he bid that high. See Qi Tian refuses to compromise, Yu Anqi harrumphed, “Fine, I’ll sit back and see who will be the fool to waste their money on your Bloodline Bead.”

Before Yu Anqi had finished speaking, another cultivator from the National Master Manor entered. This cultivator was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and before even entering, he shouted, “Where is the Bloodline Bead? Let me see it quickly.”

Yu Anqi snorted coldly. Upon seeing Yu Anqi, the newcomer’s excitement immediately subsided, and he greeted Yu Anqi awkwardly, “Ah, Brother Yu, you are here.”

“Hmm, my master has set his eyes on the Bloodline Bead before you. Are you sure you want to buy it?” said Yu Anqi coldly.

Hearing Yu Anqi, the cultivator began to sweat profusely. Had he ten times his courage, he would not dare to compete with Luo Yukun, Yu Anqi’s master, over the Bloodline Bead. He hurriedly replied, “I was just here to spy, not daring to compete for the Bloodline Bead with elder Luo. Brother Yu, please don’t misunderstand.”

“Good, as long as you don’t dare to compete. Let me tell you, you cannot even look at it. If you’re smart, get lost,” Yu Anqi scolded without reservation.
