Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Trade! (Make-up 11)

At that moment, within the Fang Family.

The Martial Arts gathering was still ongoing.

The so-called Martial Arts gathering could be observed throughout the Fang household, filled with martial artists.

Martial artists are just like ordinary people.

Ordinary people might be satisfied just with a full stomach, but martial artists are different. They might not need a full stomach, what they need is for their bodies to be satiated.

To make their bodies increasingly robust.

The Martial Arts gathering, aside from small-scale sparring between individuals, was also about trading.

This place was a small trading venue.

After all, the circle of martial arts is small. If you don’t engage with this circle, it is possible you might never know your neighbor is a martial artist in your whole life.

In short, martial artists are very mysterious.

Tang Zhong and Fang Susu walked into the gathering and seeing people sparring and trading around, immediately asked, "What are they selling here?"

"Spiritual Medicine and weapons!" Fang Susu replied.

"Spiritual Medicine? Weapons?" Although Tang Zhong had become a Grandmaster, his understanding of Martial Arts was still very limited.

"At this time, there are many Spiritual Medicines that ordinary people cannot find, such as Snow Lotus from Heavenly Mountain, and Kunlun Divine Fruit... As for weapons, they are even more wonderful. In this world, there are many more powerful weapons, Xuan Country’s top ten famous swords, top ten famous knives, each one is a formidable weapon!" Fang Susu explained.

Top ten famous swords, top ten famous knives!

Of course, Tang Zhong knew of these: the Ten Great Swords — Xuanyuan Sword, Zhan Lu Sword, Chi Xiao Sword, Tai’a Sword, Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, Mo Ye Sword, Gan Jiang Sword, Yin-Chueh Sword, Chunqiu Sword, Chengying Sword; and the ten knives — only the Fish Intestine Dagger has been unearthed, the whereabouts of the other nine are unknown.

And the ten great knives: Tang Sword, Minghong Knife, Daxia Longque, Dog God Knife, Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, Xinting Marquis Knife, Cold Moon Poison Dagger, Kunwu Knife, Dragon Tooth Knife, Tiger Wing Knife, with the Tang Sword being the leader among knives, the most powerful, and the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, which was even more the weapon of Guan Yunlong during the Three Kingdoms period.

He naturally knew these weapons existed and had always thought they were just legends. He had not expected them to actually exist!

"However, the weapons sold here can’t compare with those kinds!" Fang Susu said.

"I see!" Tang Zhong replied, "Is Fang Jingde here?"

"No!" Fang Susu muttered.

"How could he not be?" Tang Zhong asked.

"The Martial Arts gathering should have just started, how could Fang Jingde possibly be here already? If he were to come, it would at the very least be three days later!" Fang Susu explained.

Three days!

Tang Zhong frowned.

"The martial artists around are all minor figures. The real big shots show up three days later!" Fang Susu explained, then turned and looked seriously at Tang Zhong, "Mr. Tang, why don’t we leave now? Fang Jingde is not someone easy to deal with!"

Fang Jingde, ranked ninth on the Master List, renowned for his Shadowless Kick, is not easy to handle indeed!

At that moment Tang Zhong was not paying attention to Fang Susu but rather his gaze was drawn to a stall in the distance. He saw in front of him a bald man hawking his wares, which included many items, with some spiritual medicine in sandalwood boxes and several pieces of pitch-black stone.

What caught Tang Zhong’s attention, however, was a small stone among the pile of stones.

Its appearance, its color, it was unmistakably an Origin Stone!

Immediately, Tang Zhong walked over.

Seeing Tang Zhong approaching, the bald strongman greeted him with a smile, pointing to the merchandise in front of him and introduced, "Young man, here to buy something? Looking at you, you must be a son from a Martial Arts Family. Most of what I sell here are top-quality Spiritual Medicines. If you buy them, you won’t be cheated or suffer a loss!"

"Is that so?" Tang Zhong said with a smile, then squatted down and pretended to sift through the goods.

Other items, no matter how good, he did not need right now. What he wanted was only that Origin Stone, and his hand first lightly brushed over the spiritual medicines.

"How much for this?"

The bald strongman’s eyes gleamed, "This Spiritual Medicine, three hundred thousand..."

All eyes were on Tang Zhong, and it was clear that the Spiritual Medicine was the priciest.

"What about this?" Tang Zhong’s hand rested on a nearby ore.

Here, everyone was a Martial Artist, and when buying things, one could not directly reveal their fondness. If you showed too much interest, it was obvious that others would notice, and if they decided not to sell, that would be problematic. Moreover, it was clear that the bald man seemed unaware of the existence of the Origin Stone.

The bald man’s face soured when he saw Tang Zhong’s hand move toward the ore, "One hundred thousand... that one’s a hundred thousand, it’s just a broken ore. Young man, aren’t you more interested in that Spiritual Medicine? I guarantee, in the name of Bald Liu, that there’s absolutely no issue with that item!"

The climax had arrived.

Tang Zhong’s hand finally landed on the Origin Stone, but within a second, he felt that this stone was not an Origin Stone, but a regular stone. However, there was something inside the stone!"

Seeing Tang Zhong touch the stone, the bald man’s expression grew even more displeased, "That... that thing, let me tell you, young man, if you buy that Spiritual Medicine, I’ll give you the stone in your hand for free!"

For free!

The bald man’s actions were somewhat strange, but now Tang Zhong needed that stone, though he couldn’t reveal his interest, "This stone is useless, what use is it to me for free? This item of yours isn’t good at all, just keep looking. How about I sell you that Spiritual Medicine for two hundred thousand!"

Tang Zhong had just straightened up, but now he slowly crouched down again.

At this moment, many Martial Artists around were watching what was happening with Tang Zhong.

"Wow, someone is actually interested in Bald Liu’s goods..."

"Someone’s going to get deceived again!"

"Right, how valuable could anything Bald Liu sells be? Any Martial Artist could see that. He can only deceive a naive youngster, looking at that young man, he must be a greenhorn..."

Even Fang Susu, standing by the side, watched Tang Zhong, unsure of what he was attempting!

"Are you really selling this Spiritual Medicine to me for two hundred thousand?" Tang Zhong pretended to widen his eyes.

"Of course!" Bald Liu said with a smile.

"And you’ll give me that stone too?" Tang Zhong pointed at the stone resembling an Origin Stone.

"Of course, give me the money, and these items are yours!" Bald Liu was ready to hand over the Spiritual Medicine and the stone directly to Tang Zhong.

"Isn’t this a loss for me?" Although Tang Zhong was inwardly delighted, he still took out two hundred thousand. The Spiritual Medicine, let’s just consider it a free purchase then.

In the world of bargaining, value is principal. Recognition and possession are skills, just like antiques. What some might use as a chamber pot, in others’ eyes, it could be an endless treasure.

And two hundred thousand was merely a small amount for him!

Immediately, he took out two hundred thousand and handed it to Bald Liu.

The money was all in Fang Susu’s hands.

"Then boss, take care!" With the money in hand, Bald Liu left with a smug smile.

And Tang Zhong, holding the stone that resembled an Origin Stone, began examining it closely.

"Mr. Tang, did we suffer a loss, this Spiritual Medicine isn’t good, right?" Fang Susu asked in surprise.

"The Spiritual Medicine is yours, handle it yourself!" Tang Zhong said, but his eyes were still fixed on the stone.

"What?" Fang Susu was momentarily stunned, then realizing Tang Zhong’s actions, she started watching the stone in amazement.

"All I wanted was this stone. Didn’t you say it would take Fang Jingde three more days to come out? Then let’s wait here for three days, let’s leave this place first!" Tang Zhong said.

He had to investigate exactly what this stone was, containing the energy of an Origin Stone yet being something else. This was too mysterious.

"Yes, Mr. Tang!" Fang Susu nodded, hoping even more that Tang Zhong would never come to the Fang Family again.

Her vendetta had long since faded from her concerns, as the opponent was ranked ninth on the Master List. There was no way she could contend with someone like that, and she did not want to bring further trouble upon Mr. Tang.

The two of them left.

And a large group of people watching Tang Zhong’s purchase shook their heads, murmuring, "Do they really think they can perfectly use something snagged at a low price from Bald Liu? These people are just too young!"

(The end!)
