“Of course.”
Jiang Chengxuan was not afraid that he would run away with the fruit. He immediately pushed the jade box containing the Cave Vermillion Fruit in front of Daoist Tong Hai.
Daoist Tong Hai picked up the jade box and looked at it carefully.
After a while.
He closed the jade box and looked at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Fellow Daoist, do you plan to use this Cave Vermillion Fruit to exchange for the Earth Source Crystal?”
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“What do you think?”
“Deal.”
Daoist Tong Hai clearly had no intention of bargaining with Jiang Chengxuan.
Compared to the Earth Source Crystal, this Cave Vermillion Fruit was more important to him.
In order to avoid any accidents, he immediately pushed the jade box containing the Earth Source Crystal to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan was delighted.
He did not expect this deal to go much smoother than he had expected.
However, at this moment, the Young Marquis, Shangguan Sheng, suddenly looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said,
“Fellow Daoist, to be honest, I’m actually very interested in the Cave Vermillion Fruit you just traded away. I wonder if you have any more treasures that can strengthen the soul?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him.
This made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan frown.
Jiang Chengxuan replied calmly, “Sorry, we only have one such treasure.”
“Is that so?”
Shangguan Sheng nodded noncommittally and didn’t say anything else.
Just like that, the Trade Fair ended.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Liu Linglong didn’t stay for long.
After bidding farewell to Daoist Tong Hai, they left the Jade Restaurant.
Looking at the departing figures of everyone, the Young Marquis, Shangguan Sheng, who had yet to leave, suddenly looked at Daoist Tong Hai, the host of this Trade Fair, and said,
“Brother Tong Hai, do you really believe that the two people just now didn’t have any other spiritual items like the Cave Vermillion Fruit?”
“Hmm? Young Marquis, are you…?”
Daoist Tong Hai suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Shangguan Sheng chuckled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing. I just want to see if I have the chance to obtain a spiritual item that can strengthen the soul.
I wonder if Brother Tong Hai is interested in coming with me to take a look?”
Upon hearing Shangguan Sheng’s words, Ouyang Xuan, Alchemist Lu Ming, and the others who were still present could not help but feel a little tempted.
On the other hand, Daoist Tong Hai shook his head decisively.
“I’m sorry, Young Marquis. 1 already have the Cave Vermillion Fruit. I don’t need a second one for the time being.
Therefore, 1 will not partake in this.”
As the initiator of this Trade Fair, Daoist Tong Hai knew very well how great the impact on his reputation would be if he really agreed to go with Shangguan Sheng.
Perhaps from now on, no one would be willing to participate in the Trade Fair he organized.
Of course, there were not enough benefits, which was also the main reason why Daoist Tong Hai was unwilling to get involved.
If he was 100% sure that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had Core Condensing Pills and Golden Core Formation spiritual items,
Then, even if he had to throw away the reputation he had accumulated over the years, he would not hesitate.
There was another reason why Daoist Tong Hai was unwilling to accept Shangguan Sheng’s suggestion.
And that was the strength of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were at the seven level and eighth level of the Violet Palace respectively. Not to mention the fact that Shen Ruyan, another Violet Palace cultivator of the Shen family, was beside them.
Daoist Tong Hai did not think that it would be easy to take them down.
Without paying a heavy price, it was impossible.
To put it bluntly, the cons outweighed the pros.
He, Daoist Tong Hai, was not so stupid.
Seeing that Daoist Tong Hai was determined, Shangguan Sheng had no choice but to give up.
Daoist Tong Hai was not an existence he could control.
Putting aside the fact that his cultivation was not as high as Daoist Tong Hai’s, even in terms of background, Daoist Tong Hai, who came from one of the four Golden Core forces, the Primordial Yang Valley, was not inferior to him at all.
Just as Shangguan Sheng was about to give up on this plan, two voice transmissions suddenly sounded in his ears.
They were from Ouyang Xuan and Alchemist Lu Ming.
After a while.
The three of them left the Jade Restaurant together.
After leaving the Jade Restaurant, Shangguan Sheng quickly sent a message.
Soon, an old man at the ninth level of the Violet Palace appeared in front of Shangguan Sheng.
He bowed to Shangguan Sheng and said respectfully, “Greetings, Young Marquis.”
Shangguan Sheng waved his hand.
“There’s no need for the formalities, Elder Wang.
By the way, have you done what I asked you to do just now?”
Elder Wang nodded.
“Don’t worry, Young Marquis. Now, I’ve already informed the various teleportation arrays in the market to not provide service for those people.
Those people from Liang Nation won’t be able to return through the teleportation arrays..”
