Trade

When Ye Qingxuan returned to the marketplace, he was already familiar with the way.

When he arrived near Hong Miaomiao's stall from last time, he found that Hong Miaomiao was already waiting in the original place. Beside her stood a rather handsome young man about her age.

Of course, compared to Ye Qingxuan himself, the man was still just a tiny bit lacking.

Ye Qingxuan was very confident in his looks in this life. Though it seemed that people in this world were all quite good-looking.

At the same time, Hong Miaomiao spotted Ye Qingxuan and happily waved as she called out:

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister is over here."

Ye Qingxuan stepped forward and gave a slight bow.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting so long, Senior Sister!"

Hearing him call her Senior Sister, Hong Miaomiao happily narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

"It's fine. We only arrived not long ago ourselves!"

The young man beside her, however, saw Hong Miaomiao's attitude toward Ye Qingxuan and immediately glared at him, letting out an unhappy cold snort.

"Hmph!"

Ye Qingxuan looked at the youth's jealousy-filled expression. Ye Qingxuan's heart was not bothered by it at all; instead, he smiled and asked Hong Miaomiao:

"Senior Sister, who is this Senior Brother?"

After all, within the Xuantian Sect, as long as someone's cultivation was not absurdly higher than his own, calling him Senior Brother could not go wrong. Who told Ye Qingxuan that he had only entered the sect not long ago and had such low cultivation?

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Hong Miaomiao became uncharacteristically shy and said softly:

"His name is Bai Qingyun. He is my Dao Companion!"

Hearing Hong Miaomiao's introduction of him, Bai Qingyun gave Ye Qingxuan an arrogant glance.

Ye Qingxuan was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Hong Miaomiao to have chosen a Dao Companion at such a young age.

But it had little to do with him.

At this moment, Hong Miaomiao noticed Bai Qingyun's small action and shot him a glare.

Bai Qingyun shuddered, gave a light cough, and forced calmness as he looked at Ye Qingxuan with a smile.

"Junior Brother Ye, if anything comes up in the future, you can tell your Senior Brother here. If there's anything I can help with, I definitely will!"

The underlying meaning was that if anything came up in the future, Ye Qingxuan could just find Senior Brother Bai. He should not go looking for Senior Sister all the time.

There was no helping it. Bai Qingyun was so hostile toward Ye Qingxuan mainly because Ye Qingxuan's looks made him feel an unprecedented threat!

In response to Bai Qingyun's words, Ye Qingxuan followed the trend and agreed.

"Then Junior Brother will have to trouble Senior Brother Bai in the future."

Ye Qingxuan avoided trouble that might arise from such unimportant matters whenever he could.

It did not involve his interests, so why should he launch a forceful counterattack for no reason?

Such meaningless entanglements would only hinder his cultivation progress.

As long as it did not obstruct his Dao, minor disputes of pride that did not go too far were all negotiable!

Of course, those who pushed their luck were another matter!

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan knew when to advance and retreat, Bai Qingyun's expression eased somewhat. He no longer made things difficult for him, since Ye Qingxuan was also a junior brother his Dao Companion, Hong Miaomiao, had befriended.

"Junior Brother, how many Spirit Augmentation Pills did you say you had?"

At this moment, Hong Miaomiao spoke up to ask Ye Qingxuan, while giving Bai Qingyun a glance to warn him not to meddle.

Hearing Hong Miaomiao's question, Ye Qingxuan subconsciously looked around at the bustling stalls and hesitated somewhat.

Noticing this, Bai Qingyun spoke.

"There are too many people here with too many eyes and ears. Let's find somewhere more secluded!"

After saying that, he pulled Hong Miaomiao toward one direction, giving Ye Qingxuan a look to signal for him to follow.

Jealousy was jealousy, but serious business could not be delayed.

Though Bai Qingyun felt there was no need to be so cautious in the marketplace within the sect interior, since Ye Qingxuan had concerns, they might as well follow his wishes.

After all, Bai Qingyun had insisted on coming along to help. For Hong Miaomiao's sake, he could not go around causing trouble.

After the three arrived somewhere more secluded, Bai Qingyun cast a spell, and the sounds between them and the outside world were instantly cut off.

Then Bai Qingyun spoke blandly.

"Go ahead. How many Spirit Augmentation Pills?"

"Senior Brother, what is your purchase price?"

Rather than stating the quantity directly, Ye Qingxuan first asked about the price.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan inquire about the price, Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao exchanged a glance. Then Bai Qingyun gave the price the two had long discussed.

"If the quantity is not large, we can purchase them at the market price of Twelve Low-grade Spirit Stones each. Consider it our support for you, Junior Brother.

"If the quantity is large, we will purchase them at Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones each. Junior Brother Ye, what do you think?"

If the quantity was small, Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao could use them for their own cultivation, which would count as doing Ye Qingxuan a favor along the way.

But if the quantity was too large, the two of them could not consume it all solely relying on themselves. They could only resell them, so naturally they needed to earn a certain price difference.

Hearing the price Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao offered, Ye Qingxuan knew that Hong Miaomiao wanted to look after him.

Thus, after pondering for a moment, Ye Qingxuan decided to increase the share he had originally planned to give Hong Miaomiao.

"Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Hong, I have One Thousand Spirit Augmentation Pills. I'll sell them to you at Nine Low-grade Spirit Stones each!"

Originally, Ye Qingxuan had only planned to give Hong Miaomiao a share of five hundred pills.

"What? That many?"

Hearing the quantity Ye Qingxuan named, Hong Miaomiao could not help crying out in surprise.

Even Bai Qingyun beside her said nothing, but shock leaked out through his eyes.

Spirit Augmentation Pills were Tier One Peak Pills. Their cultivation assistance effects were impressive, so they were naturally highly sought after by Qi Refining Realm cultivators. As such, they were consumed extremely quickly.

Therefore, in the Qi Refining Realm, being able to produce One Thousand Spirit Augmentation Pills at once was an unbelievable thing.

"You really decided to sell them to us for Nine Low-grade Spirit Stones each? Spirit Augmentation Pills are highly sought after in the market. When the time comes, don't blame us for not warning you."

Especially after hearing Ye Qingxuan's selling price, Bai Qingyun wanted to agree immediately.

But looking at Hong Miaomiao beside him, he still reminded Ye Qingxuan that Spirit Augmentation Pills were not difficult to sell in the market.

At this moment, Hong Miaomiao also reacted and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Yes, Junior Brother! Selling them to us for Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones each is enough!"

Hong Miaomiao wanted to earn Spirit Stones, but she did not want to encroach upon her junior brother's interests.

Xuantian Sect Disciples had many sources of Spirit Stones, but their expenditures were equally great.

One Thousand Spirit Augmentation Pills, purchased at Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones each, could bring the two of them a profit of Two Thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, enough for Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao to buy quite a few cultivation resources.

"Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Hong, purchase them at Nine Low-grade Spirit Stones each! The Hundred Treasures Pavilion has the same purchase price!"

Hearing Hong Miaomiao's persuasion, Ye Qingxuan merely smiled and did not agree.

Hearing this, Hong Miaomiao still hesitated somewhat.

"This..."

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion was the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Its purchase price was Nine Low-grade Spirit Stones because its costs were high; Hong Miaomiao understood this perfectly well.

"Enough. It's decided!"

Seeing that Hong Miaomiao was still hesitating, Ye Qingxuan directly settled the matter of the price.

When others showed him a foot of respect, he returned them ten feet. Ye Qingxuan did not have many friends; whoever treated him sincerely, he treated sincerely in return!

A difference of one Low-grade Spirit Stone was merely a drop in the bucket to Ye Qingxuan, not worth mentioning.

Since Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun were thinking of him, he naturally did not mind yielding them a negligible share of the profit.
