Sorry, We're Closed!

Behind Ge Ye, Yun Leng stared at the scroll in the man's hands, his eyes gleaming with intensity.

The group of Misty Cloud Sect elders behind him also wore expressions of profound astonishment.

They had all been present to witness the bizarre scene of Ge Ye shattering the jar, as well as the conversation that had transpired between Ye Yun and Ge Ye.

A Profound-tier high-grade Dou Technique, hidden inside this broken jar?

Furthermore, this jar seemed to have some connection to the young man standing before them.

A strange light flashed in his eyes as Yun Leng walked directly to Ge Ye's side, his voice low and heavy: "Ge Ye, what is the meaning of this?"

"Is the scroll in your hand truly a Profound-tier high-grade Dou Technique?" As he spoke, Yun Leng's gaze remained fixed intently on the scroll.

Feeling the weight of Yun Leng's stare, Ge Ye felt his heart tighten.

Could the Great Elder be coveting the scroll in my hands?

As the Great Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Leng's status and strength were far beyond what a mere outer sect deacon like himself could compare to.

If the man truly harbored ulterior motives, Ge Ye feared he would be unable to keep the scroll.

Thinking this, Ge Ye hurriedly explained everything that had just occurred.

He calculated that if the Great Elder managed to open something good himself, he would likely stop coveting the scroll in his own hands.

With this in mind, Ge Ye recounted the events exactly as they had happened to Yun Leng.

After hearing Ge Ye's account, Yun Leng and the other high-ranking members of the Misty Cloud Sect were instantly stunned.

One hundred thousand gold coins for a single jar?

Treasures hidden inside jars?

The Sect Master had just opened a divine pill capable of increasing one's cultivation by thirty years?

Recalling the moment Yun Yun's cultivation had surged, breaking through directly to the Dou Zong realm, Yun Leng and the others felt their hearts tremble, immediately believing Ge Ye's seemingly absurd tale.

Following this, Yun Leng looked at Ye Yun with burning eyes, pulled three hundred thousand gold coins from his storage ring, and declared with great bravado: "Little brother, I want to buy three jars!"

Yun Leng's heart was ablaze; if Yun Yun could open such a divine pill, why couldn't he?

Seeing Yun Leng make his move, the group of Misty Cloud Sect elders behind him reacted instantly, hurriedly pulling out their own gold coins and addressing Ye Yun.

"Little brother, give me a jar as well!"

"Give me two!"

"I want one too..."

The high-ranking elders of the Misty Cloud Sect couldn't wait to place their gold coins on the counter, looking at Ye Yun with faces full of anticipation.

Unfortunately, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly, directly rejecting this wave of transactions: "Apologies, the shop is closed for the day. You may all return."

In truth, Ye Yun wanted to continue the transactions, but he had no stock left.

The system only provided five jars per day.

Today's quota had already been completely sold out.

"Clo... closed?"

Hearing this, Yun Leng stood frozen in place, blurting out: "No, little brother, we have already come all this way—how can you turn customers away like this?"

"That's right, little brother, we have already brought the money; just sell us a few jars."

"You should understand the principle of paying for goods upon delivery, little brother."

The group of Misty Cloud Sect elders behind him chimed in as well.

Having learned that both Yun Yun and Ge Ye had opened treasures from the jars, the high-ranking members of the Misty Cloud Sect were filled with intense curiosity regarding the jars Ye Yun sold.

Now that Ye Yun suddenly claimed to be closed and refused to sell, they naturally felt uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it.

Facing the crowd's enthusiasm, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly and pointed to the wooden shelf beside him: "I do not wish to deceive you all, but my stock for today is sold out. I am truly powerless to help."

"Sold out?"

"This..."

Hearing this, Yun Leng and the others were dumbfounded.

Thinking of the divine pill Yun Yun had opened and Ge Ye's Profound-tier high-grade Dou Technique, the group felt as if they had just lost hundreds of millions in an instant.

At this moment, Yun Yun stood up while holding Nalan Yanran and addressed the elders: "Since the owner has said there is no stock left, you elders should take your leave."

As she spoke, Yun Yun glanced at Ye Yun, her heart filled with deep wariness.

She had exchanged a single blow with Ye Yun earlier, and while she hadn't managed to probe his true strength, she hadn't taken it to heart at the time.

After all, the man looked so young; even if he were strong, how strong could he really be?

But after opening the Advanced Experience Pill, the Light Spirit Boots, and the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect from the jars, she no longer dared to underestimate Ye Yun.

In fact, in her heart, she had already come to regard Ye Yun as an existence of terrifying proportions.

After all, apart from a peerless powerhouse, who else could produce so many miraculous treasures?

At this moment, seeing that Ye Yun had already announced he was closing up shop while the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect continued to chatter incessantly, Yun Yun feared they might provoke him, and thus could not help but stand up to urge them to leave.

Hearing this, Yun Leng and the other elders were all filled with reluctance.

If only they had arrived a step earlier, perhaps that heaven-defying divine pill would belong to them right now.

Thinking of this, the Misty Cloud Sect elders all felt heartbroken.

"Little brother, are there really none left?"

"This old man is willing to increase the price. Fifteen thousand gold coins per jar, how about it?"

Yun Leng was unwilling to leave just like that; he harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that Ye Yun must still have some private stock.

"That's right, little brother, price is no object. This old man is willing to pay twenty thousand gold coins for one."

"This old man is willing to pay twenty-five thousand gold coins for one."

"This old man is willing to pay thirty thousand gold coins for one!"

In just a few exchanges, the price had soared to thirty thousand gold coins.

Yun Leng: "..."

Yun Leng let out a cold snort, swept his gaze across the others, and said with an arrogant air: "This old man is willing to pay forty thousand gold coins for one!"

These elders were all high-ranking members of the Misty Cloud Sect, and they usually raked in plenty of kickbacks, so they were naturally not short on money.

Of course, in their view, if they could open a treasure like the one Yun Yun had, then spending any amount of money would be worth it.

After all, such a divine pill could not be purchased with mere gold coins.

At the very least, if they opened a Profound Tier Advanced Dou Technique like Ge Ye had, they wouldn't be at a loss.

In short, in their eyes, this business deal was a guaranteed profit.

Watching the frantic display of these fellows before him, the corners of Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

Good grief, they were actually starting a bidding war!

Shaking his head, Ye Yun could only say helplessly: "If you are all interested, you may come earlier tomorrow. There will only be five spots."

"There will be more tomorrow?"

Hearing Ye Yun's words, the high-ranking members of the Misty Cloud Sect were suddenly shaken, their faces filled with pleasant surprise.

Ye Yun nodded and said: "This shop will remain here for three days. I hope you all can seize the opportunity."

"Three days..."

"Boss, that is far too short."

Upon hearing this, Yun Leng wore an enthusiastic smile: "Little brother, why not stay here for a longer period? Since you have come to our Misty Cloud Sect, it is only right that we fulfill our duties as hosts."
