Hearing Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat's words, everyone who was still struggling desperately became furious.
"Ten amethyst crystals? Why don't you just rob them?"
"Damn it, there's no way to get this fast by robbing anyone." The Shameless Cat muttered, but his face was full of sincere smiles.
"When it comes to business, this ' Sage of Saunter' is always serious!"
Yang Zhen explained to everyone with a serious expression, looking like the most honest businessman in the world.
The crowd, still struggling in the storm, were ashen-faced. If they bought it, Yang Zhen's price was outrageous; if they didn't, the storm seemed like it wouldn't pass anytime soon.
Damn it!
"How much? I'll buy one!"
"Oh my, this fellow has good taste! This is a flying boat that Yang Zhen forged without sleeping all night. He only forged ten in total. You heard me right, only ten. Once you're late, there won't be any left. Ten amethyst crystals, highest bidder wins."
The Shameless Cat stood on the flying boat with his hands on his hips and spoke loudly, looking like he was pointing out the flaws in the world, while the sound of his gong reverberated through the mountains.
" Yang Zhen, I Mo Chikui from Hanwu City. I saw you in Hanwu City, and we even brushed past each other. You must sell me one of these ten amethyst crystals!"
A bearded man, his body heaving in the storm, smiled at Yang Zhen. His smile was somewhat strained, whether from the intensity of the storm or embarrassment, but his expression was unmistakably obsequious.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd cursed angrily, "Damn it! At a time like this, who cares if we know each other or not? Let's talk with crystals! Yang Zhen, I'll offer eleven amethyst crystals, and I can give them to you right away."
"You think you can buy a life-saving airship with eleven amethyst crystals? What were you thinking, Shameless Cat? I have fifteen amethyst crystals here. Quickly give me a airship; I can't hold on much longer."
Mo Chikui glared angrily at everyone, forcefully rowing twice towards the flying boat of the Shameless Cat and Yang Zhen, and hurriedly said, " Yang Zhen, don't forget our past friendship!"
Yang Zhen had no idea where this guy had come from. Did they brush past each other because of five hundred glances in a past life?
If Yang Zhen had glanced back at such a bearded man five hundred times in his past life, he would rather strangle that bastard to death.
"Damn it, you want to curry favor with this Sage of Saunter for a deal worth ten amethyst crystals? That's going too far!"
"Pfft, Mo Chikui, is that it? You really don't want to suffer a loss, do you? You think you're so smart? Damn it, you bunch of bastards, stop right now! You Shameless Cat, I want this flying boat! I'm from Lung Chill Mountain Liang... Stop, stop, stop! Fifty amethyst crystals! I'll offer fifty amethyst crystals! Sell me this flying boat!"
The Shameless Cat's hand trembled, and he hurriedly snatched back the flying boat he had given away. He grinned and approached the flying boat, saying, "This boss is very generous! Here, this is your flying boat. Please keep it safe. My Boss Yang, said we're a small business and don't offer credit. If you want to buy one, hurry up and prepare your amethyst; there's only one flying boat left."
On the Great Saint' flying ships, everyone stared blankly as Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat sold several hundred amethyst crystals in a short time, their expressions turning strange.
Damn it, it's just a flying boat, the cost of which shouldn't exceed a thousand crystals, yet that bastard Yang Zhen managed to sell it for fifty amethyst crystals. How is that any different from robbery?
One amethyst crystal is worth about a thousand ordinary crystals, which is... faster than robbery!
"Damn it, Liang Chao, fifty amethyst crystals for a flying boat? Even if you're rich, you can't be this extravagant! What are we supposed to do?"
When Liang Chao actually sold a flying boat for fifty amethysts, some people around him immediately protested, glaring at Liang Chao and cursing him.
Liang Chao stood calmly on the flying boat, inserted a purple crystal, and activated the formation on the boat. Instantly, he was enveloped in a solid protective layer. He clicked his tongue in amazement. "The formation on this flying boat is far superior to those rubbish things on the market. I think it's excellent value for money. What's it to you?"
"You!"
No one dared to complain. Someone glanced at the Shameless Cat's hand first, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to it.
"Fifty coins, I'll also put up fifty coins..."
"Hey, don't push! Sixty coins, I'll put up sixty..."
"Seventy pieces..."
Fang Zhongjian stared blankly at Yang Zhen, muttering to himself, "This... are these people crazy? Seventy amethyst crystals for a flying boat that can be bought for three or five amethyst crystals?"
The Heavenly Spring Holy Lord pondered for a moment, then gave a soft hum, turned and stared at Fang Zhongjian until Fang Zhongjian looked somewhat embarrassed and confused, before finally speaking, "Do you... have any spare flying boats on you?"
"Holy Lord, we... have used all our storage rings to store food and water. The High Antiquity Ruins are fraught with danger, so we should store as much food and water as possible. That's what you told us."
"... You bastard!" Before the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord could speak, the sleazy voice of the Shameless Cat suddenly rang out.
"The last airship is sold out! Everyone, please don't push, please line up! Please line up!"
Line up?
Everyone was stunned by what the Shameless Cat said, staring at Shameless Cat in bewilderment.
The last airship is sold out, why are we still queuing?
In situations like this, shouldn't everyone try to find their own solutions?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Yang Zhen suddenly took out several more storage rings and announced loudly, "Alright, let's proceed with the auction of the second batch of flying boats."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned. Suddenly, someone burst out cursing, "Weren't they sold out? How come there's still some left?"
"Huh? Sage of Saunter, when did I say we were sold out?" Yang Zhen said, looking at the man with a displeased expression.
"You... you clearly said that."
"No!" Yang Zhen replied seriously, "You can doubt Sage of Saunter character, but you can't lie through your teeth!"
"You... shameless!" the man roared, pointing at Yang Zhen. "Even if I jump off this cliff and am blown to my death by the storm, I will never buy your flying boat!"
Rumble!
A terrifying storm erupted again, sweeping across the land and startling everyone.
This eruption unleashed a terrifying shockwave that blotted out the sky, with gusts of fierce wind sweeping across the land, even causing large flying ships to sway precariously. The expressions of the people from the Great Saint changed drastically.
"Oh no, how could this happen? Last time I came, the storm wasn't this big."
"Under these circumstances... are we even safe to pass through?"
The wind howled, the heavens and earth trembled, and streams of True Essence, like raging dragons, roared and howled in mid-air.
Yang Zhen clung tightly to the flying boat, looking completely bewildered. The Shameless Cat was almost blown away, but Yang Zhen pulled it back.
"Damn it, kid, did you know such a huge storm would break out here?"
Yang Zhen knows nothing. He's not a fortune teller who can predict good or bad fortune. If he had known this place was so dangerous, he wouldn't have come even if he was paid.
"Stop blabbering, this is a great opportunity, sell quickly! By the way, where's that guy who said he'd rather jump off this cliff than buy the flying boat? Find him for me, you Sage of Saunter!"
"No... there's no need to look anymore!"
Two hands stretched out from the edge of the airship, one of them clutching a storage ring. "Damn it, Yang Zhen, this is all I have. Its value is definitely over a hundred amethyst crystals. Quick, sell me an airship!"
Countless cultivators were flung around in mid-air like kites tossed about by a gale, screaming incessantly as they desperately rushed toward Yang Zhen, using both hands and feet in a pathetic state.
"That's more like it. Here, boss, please keep your flying boat safe. By the way, does it smell good?"
"???"
Just as Yang Zhen was about to tell the Shameless Cat to continue selling, the voice of the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord suddenly came. "Young friend Yang, come aboard the flying boat quickly. This riot seems strange."
