A Scam and a Reluctant Agreement
Upon seeing the shop, Li Yunjing immediately walked over and entered.
Upon entering the shop, Li Yunjing saw someone cleaning.
The man noticed someone entering, immediately looked up, and said:
"Welcome, distinguished guest, to Jieyou..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man froze.
Not only was he stunned, but Li Yunjing was also stunned.
"Gao Jin!?"
Li Yunjing's pupils contracted, and he immediately shouted out.
The person in front of him was Gao Jin, whom Li Yunjing had known before.
He's also the owner of the Worry-Relief Shop in Xunxian Town, and an undercover agent for the Corpse Yin Cult!
Gao Jin took a deep breath and quickly composed himself.
"So it's Sect Leader Li. May I ask what brings you here, Sect Leader Li?"
Li Yunjing stared intently at Gao Jin, wanting nothing more than to slap him to death.
Li Yunjing wouldn't let the cult's spy get away.
However, considering that he still needed to gather information, Li Yunjing suppressed his murderous intent.
"Nothing else, I'm just here to do some business," Li Yunjing said.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jin's face immediately broke into a smile, "Since we're here to do business, you must be a distinguished guest. Please follow me!"
Gao Jin led Li Yunjing into a quiet room.
After brewing the spiritual tea for Li Yunjing, Gao Jin asked, "I wonder what kind of business deal Sect Leader Li is planning to pursue?"
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "He was introduced by an acquaintance. You know Manager Shopkeeper Luo of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, right?"
"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Luo. Then there's no problem," Gao Jin said.
"I wonder how many Void Nether Stone Sect Leader Li possesses?"
Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes. "Quite a few, at least three hundred pieces, each about the size of a fist."
This was naturally made up by Li Yunjing. Generally speaking, Void Nether Stone the size of a finger is rare enough.
A fist-sized Void Nether Stone is extremely rare and hard to find.
Not to mention three hundred pieces of such a large Void Nether Stone.
Gao Jin clearly knew how outrageous this was, and immediately frowned. "Is Sect Leader Li making fun of me?"
"Believe it or not, if you don't want it, I'll leave right now!" Li Yunjing said disdainfully, pretending that he couldn't be bothered to argue with Gao Jin.
Seeing this, Gao Jin also began to have some doubts.
He couldn't tell whether Li Yunjing was bluffing him or if it was true.
To be honest, he really needed the Void Nether Stone, or rather, the organization behind him really needed the Void Nether Stone.
If what Li Yunjing said is true, then we must get our hands on these Void Nether Stone no matter the cost.
"Sect Leader Li, of course I want to do business with you, but seeing is believing, I need to see you in person before I can believe Sect Leader Li!" Gao Jin said.
Li Yunjing feigned impatience. "Stop being so fussy, what kind of business are you doing!"
Despite saying that, Li Yunjing flipped his right hand, and a fist-sized Void Nether Stone immediately appeared on his right hand.
However, before Gao Jin could examine it closely, Li Yunjing put it away.
"Just tell me if you want it or not," Li Yunjing said.
Gao Jin looked at Li Yunjing's impatient expression and felt uneasy.
Although Li Yunjing quickly put away the Void Nether Stone, Gao Jin could see it clearly.
It was indeed a piece of Void Nether Stone, about the size of a fist.
Therefore, it can be almost certain that Li Yunjing was not lying.
"Sect Leader Li, please wait a moment. I cannot make this decision alone. I will give you an answer immediately!"
Gao Jin immediately left the quiet room.
Before Gao Jin left, Li Yunjing sent a wisp of his Divine Sense to Gao Jin.
In this way, wherever Gao Jin went, who he met, and even what he said would be recorded by this Divine Sense.
As long as Li Yunjing withdraws this wisp of Divine Sense, Li Yunjing will be able to know the contents of the record.
"Luckily, I had the pearl in the clam shell, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get away with it."
At this moment, Li Yunjing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Void Nether Stone he just took out was not a real Void Nether Stone, but rather a pearl transformed from a clam.
Pearls can create illusions, so Li Yunjing created the illusion of a Void Nether Stone.
Gao Jin, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was completely unaware that what he was seeing was an illusion.
That's why they were deceived.
After waiting quietly for a while, Gao Jin returned.
"Sect Leader Li, I want all those Void Nether Stone you have. Name your price," Gao Jin said immediately upon returning.
"I only want Spirit Stone, thirty million Low-Grade Spirit Stone!" Li Yunjing said.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jin immediately shook his head. "Sect Leader Li, don't joke around. Even if you have a large quantity of high-quality Void Nether Stone..."
But it's only a third-grade item, how could it be worth thirty million Low-Grade Spirit Stone? At most, it's worth three million Low-Grade Spirit Stone!
"Three million? Are you trying to fob me off? Twenty million!" Li Yunjing immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
Gao Jin gritted his teeth and replied, "Sect Leader Li, if you want to do business properly, then name a good price. Such arbitrary pricing is bad for both of us!"
"Since you've put it that way, then this business deal is off. Goodbye!"
Without wasting any words, Li Yunjing was about to leave.
Seeing this, Gao Jin did not try to stop him, and coldly watched Li Yunjing leave.
Li Yunjing moved his Divine Sense and withdrew the wisp of Divine Sense from Gao Jin.
He had already achieved his goal, so whether he did this business or not was irrelevant.
If he does it, he'll get a batch of Spirit Stone for free; if he doesn't, Li Yunjing won't suffer any loss.
Therefore, Li Yunjing left without any burden.
He pushed open the door and walked out of the quiet room, heading towards the exit of the Worry-Relief Shop.
As soon as they stepped out of the Worry-Relief Shop, Gao Jin rushed out of Worry-Relief Shop.
"Sect Leader Li, Sect Leader Li, let's talk some more, don't rush off." Gao Jin quickly said with a smile.
Li Yunjing turned to look at Gao Jin.
"Do you really want to have a proper talk?"
Gao Jin nodded, and Li Yunjing followed Gao Jin back into the Worry-Relief Shop.
"Sect Leader Li, the price you quoted is far too high. Please lower it a bit."
Li Yunjing said, "Lower? Fine, ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stone, anything lower and I'll pass!"
Seeing this, Gao Jin had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
"Alright, ten million it is. But I don't have that many Spirit Stone. I can only give you three million at most."
Li Yunjing frowned. "Fine, three million it is. Since you can't pay on time, I can't give you this batch of Void Nether Stone."
"I can only give you the Void Nether Stone once you have all the items."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jin was so angry that his eyes almost bulged out.
"Sect Leader Li, this isn't business!!"
At the very least, you have to give me some Void Nether Stone!
Li Yunjing remained calm. "You don't want to do business anymore, huh? Fine, I'll leave then."
"Hey, hey, Sect Leader Li, don't be in such a hurry!" Gao Jin could only quickly stop Li Yunjing again.
"Alright, I accept Sect Leader Li's domineering attitude. I will replenish the Spirit Stone within three days."
"I hope Sect Leader Li will be able to produce all the Void Nether Stone by then!"
Li Yunjing laughed, "Once the Spirit Stone are replenished, I will naturally hand over the Void Nether Stone."
Gao Jin turned and left, and when he returned, he had a storage Law Treasure in his hand.
This is a gourd, and it contains three million Spirit Stone.
After confirming that everything was correct, Li Yunjing left the Worry-Relief Shop directly.
As Gao Jin watched Li Yunjing's departing figure, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
"You've come this far in extorting me! I want the Void Nether Stone, but I won't give you Spirit Stone. Li Yunjing, you just wait!"
Li Yunjing completely disregarded Gao Jin's thoughts.
With these three million Spirit Stone, the Luozhen Sect can at least repay the Spirit Stone they borrowed before.
Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Li Yunjing headed towards the teleportation array. He wanted to the Luozhen Sect to see what that Divine Sense had recorded...
