Damn that Hai Dafu! If he knew the special spirit liquid in this small jade bottle was so precious, why didn't he tell me sooner?
Gu Youfang shot Hai Dafu a vicious glare, then pondered briefly before slowly taking a golden token from inside his robes.
An ancient character for "commerce" was engraved on the token's front, while its back bore an outline of Penglai Island. The entire token radiated a faint golden glow.
"The Penglai Token."
Gu Youfang held the token out to Lin Mo, his gaze solemn. "Whoever holds this token may call upon the Penglai Commerce Association to act once. No one in the association, myself included, may refuse."
"I offer this token in exchange for the small jade bottle in your possession, young friend Lin. Would that... be acceptable?"
Lin Mo could not help being moved.
He had once seen a similar token in Du Zhong's possession, but that had merely been an ordinary credential identifying a Penglai disciple. This Penglai Token, however, could command the entire Penglai Commerce Association!
Of course, this opportunity to "command" them could only be used once, but when it was, the entire Penglai Commerce Association would pour out in force. That would be a terrifying power beyond imagination!
"Apart from Fellow Daoist Gu, the Penglai Commerce Association has two vice presidents at early spirit transformation, as well as three half-step spirit transformation cultivators and over twenty nascent soul cultivators."
Hai Dafu turned to Lin Mo with a broad smile. "Fellow Daoist Gu is making an enormous profit on this deal, but you certainly won't lose out either... Give it to him."
Lin Mo took a deep breath, carefully put the Penglai Token into his storage bag, and handed the small jade bottle to Gu Youfang, smoothly completing the exchange.
