day, I will take the master's place and cleanse the family name. I will use your head to appease her spirit in heaven."If it had happened before, on account of the camaraderie among fellow disciples,..."I..."
Zhang Laifu was so humiliated, but he couldn't do anything in front of so many people.
"Yes, this is a fake Gengjing stone. It seems we made a mistake during the appraisal."
There's no way around it, everyone is watching. That thing is right there. He can't deny it.
"So that's really how it is. I was afraid I had misread it." Ye Bufan smirked, "Then in that case, how much should the Treasure Pavilion pay me"
After he said that, all eyes turned to Zhang Laifu.
As you all just witnessed, this stone was purchased by someone for a whopping one million two hundred thousand gold coins. According to the rule of "fake one hundred times compensation", that would mean paying out a staggering twelve billion gold coins!
At this point, Zhang Laifu has no room to retreat. If he truly dared to ruin the millennium golden signboard of Ju Bao Ge, he would probably be skinned alive by those in power.
He could only grit his teeth and say: "Don't worry, our JuBao Pavilion has a thousand-year reputation. We absolutely guarantee a full refund for any fakes."
You just spent 1.2 billion gold coins, and our Zhu Ba Ge will give you back 12 billion as compensation.
"Really Twelve billion gold coins Then I've really struck it rich this time."
Ye Bufan finally let out a sly grin. “Forget it, the money came anyway. I won't take that extra two hundred million. Think of it as a tip for everyone. I'll just take ten billion.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Speaking of the Ju Bao Ge, it is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Kunlun Continent. Tens of billions of gold coins are nothing to them.
But the key point is that it's obvious to everyone, this young man clearly came to the Treasure Pavilion to scam money, and now he wants to use other people's money as a tip.
This approach doesn't cause much harm, but it is extremely insulting, like slapping Zhang Laifu in the face.
Sure enough, Zhang Laifu's face turned extremely ugly. He reached out and took out a storage ring, throwing it over.
We keep our word. No one can change the rule of a hundredfold compensation for fakes, and this is twelve billion gold coins, not a single one less.
Ye Bufan took the storage ring, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he confirmed that it contained exactly twelve billion gold coins.
"In that case, I shall humbly decline."
Then he began to count on his fingers, muttering to himself: “Twelve billion gold coins, minus that five billion, I made seven billion, or so the calculation goes.”
His voice was not loud, but everyone present were cultivators and could hear him clearly.
Now everyone's heart is
A sliver of doubt arose. Could it be that the young man earlier hadn't lied Had the Treasure Pavilion truly swindled him out of five hundred million gold coins
Zhang Laifu's face turned even more grim. He had originally thought he made five hundred million, but in the blink of an eye, he lost seven hundred million. Needless to say, this deal was a huge loss.
But at this very moment, he couldn't lash out. The other party was strictly adhering to the rules. Under everyone's watchful eyes, even if his teeth were knocked out, he could only swallow them with blood.
Only then did he realize that the young man before him was far from ordinary, far more difficult to deal with than he had anticipated.
Now he had only one thought, to leave as soon as possible. He would discuss the other matters with Du Bin later.
But he overthought it, Ye Bufan had no intention of leaving.
He put the storage ring away, his gaze swept around, and finally landed on a jade box.
The onlookers seemed to realize something too, and they all followed his gaze. Inside was a black pill with a label beside it.
"Pózhàng Dān, a tier 3 elixir, can allow a Jindan stage cultivator to break through their dantian and become an infant soul, entering the Yuanying stage."
Elixirs that can help cultivators advance in their ranks have always been incredibly valuable. Although the level from Golden Core to Nascent Soul period is relatively lower, this elixir's price tag still reaches a staggering thirty million gold coins.
Ye Bufan pointed at the pill and said, “I’ll take this!”
For some reason, seeing him about to buy this pill again, Zhang Laifu felt a sudden tightness in his chest and subconsciously said, "Are you going to buy it again"
Ye Bufan said in surprise, "Zhang Guan, are you not welcoming business, or is this pill non-sale"
Of course not.
Only then did Zhang Laifu realize he had been acting out of place. He waved his hand again at the side, and immediately another female servant came over and took the pill.
Ye Bufan paid three million gold coins without hesitation, then took the jade box and examined the pills inside.
He obtained the inheritance of the ancient medical sect. He wasn't too clear on how the levels of medicinal pills on the Kunlun continent were divided.
But this didn't prevent him from understanding this pill. He could see its grade at a glance, and even knew the properties of the medicine clearly.
And at that moment, all eyes were on him, waiting to hear what he had to say about the pill.
Ye Bufan did not disappoint the crowd. He glanced at it for a few seconds and said, "This pill is fake."
Let me just say, I've been using this app for reading lately, it caches books and has offline reading!
"What"
Now everyone in the room was taken aback. If this had been said before, no one would have believed him.
Now that there is a precedent for the gēngjīngshí, ...
His posture, radiating an air of confidence and authority, prevented people from casually disregarding his words.
Even after he finished speaking, there was utter silence in the room. Not a single person stood up to object.
Zhang Lai Fu shouted: "Nonsense, this is a genuine Broken Barrier Pill, how could it be fake"
"Ye Bufan held the pill in his hand and said, “This is indeed a Breaking Barrier Pill, refined from thirty-six kinds of medicinal herbs.”
It appears black and shiny on the surface because it contains the medicinal herb, Black Mist Grass. The fragrance is due to the Burning Incense Flower. If you touch it, it feels springy because there is Stone Cotton Vine inside...
Ye Bufan recited the ingredients of the pill as if he were an expert, explaining each one clearly.
The onlookers were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that this young man had such a deep understanding of medicine. He just glanced at it and explained the dosage clearly.
Zhang Laifu said, "Since you've explained it so clearly, how could it be a fake medicine"
"Alright, I take it back. Calling it fake medicine wasn't accurate. To be precise, this is a — poison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. After all, fake medicine and poison are two completely different concepts.
Even if placebos don't work, they won't harm people too much, but poison is a deadly thing.
"Poppycock!"
Zhang Lai Fu suddenly became furious, "Boy, you must make it clear today. How could our Zhuangbao Pavilion possibly sell poison"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."
Ye Bufan still had a warm smile on his face, "The Broken Barrier Pill was originally meant for Jindan stage cultivators to break through and become Nascent Soul cultivators. Unfortunately, the alchemist who refined this pill was a novice, and his level wasn't high enough."
During the refining process, he reversed the order of the fifteenth taste of Cold Yang Grass and the sixteenth taste of Scorching Sun Flower.
Hanyang herb is cold in nature. Adding it serves to neutralize the fire poison produced during the previous stage of alchemy. Subsequently, adding Zhiyang flower enhances the efficacy of the entire pill.
But once the order is wrong, the positive blazing sun flower immediately intensifies the toxicity of the fire poison. Adding the cold yang grass afterwards will no longer be able to neutralize it.
Alchemical refinement brooks no error. Even the slightest deviation, such as a reversed order, can result in a poisonous outcome.
"Swallowing it not only fails to break the dantian and become an infant, but will instead cause severe poison, bleeding from the seven orifices and death!"
