Chapter 1750 - Tiger Claw Scythe
“Childe…” Su Xiaoman sounded concerned. “Why did you give him the wine? Can the wine cure him? If it doesn’t work, we’re both dead…”
“Good wine!” Liu Si suddenly shouted.
“Childe…” Su Xiaoman nearly jumped out of her skin. She quickly hid behind Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei did not respond. He merely smiled.
“Good wine!” Liu Si exclaimed, even louder this time. “No! This is not good wine! This is the best wine! Not only does it have good fragrance, but it also has super healing effect! I can feel my ‘root’ coming back to life! I won’t have to be a eunuch! I won’t have to be a eunuch!”
“How…” Su Xiaoman blinked.
“Sir! You are incredible!” Liu Si dashed to where Chen Xiaobei was standing. “How long will it take for my injury to be completely healed! I can’t wait to get on with it!”
“Including that bottle, you need another nine!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Drink a bottle every three days. After thirty days, not only will your ‘root’ be completely healed, its size and its durability will increase as well!”
Master Liu Si’s eyes widened in excitement. “Wow! It can also grow my ‘root’ and make me last longer?!! I’ll take them! I’ll buy however many you have!”
“Don’t get too excited just yet.” Chen Xiaobei said. “Each bottle costs 100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! How many bottles can you afford?”
“What?! 100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones?!” Liu Si threw his hand into the air.
Even Su Xiaoman took a step back.
100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stone was equivalent to 1 billion low-grade Spiritual Stones! Even Su Xiaoman did not have that many!
Over and above that, it could only buy one bottle of Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine!
Ten bottles would cost 10 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones, which was equivalent to 10 billion low-grade Spiritual Stones!
Just thinking about this astronomical figure was enough to make Su Xiaoman dizzy. She dared not believe that Chen Xiaobei’s medicinal wine could be sold for such an epic price!
“Sir… Can you sell it a little cheaper?” Liu Si swallowed. “I’m only a right-hand man… I don’t have so many Spiritual Stones…”
“I cannot lower the price!” Chen Xiaobei said. “I understand that it’s not easy for you! But it is even more difficult for me to make this medicinal wine! Do you know how much it cost me to get ten bottles of this wine? I could cry just talking about it…”
Chen Xiaobei’s acting was Oscar-level. His expression and tone were all very convincing. He might as well have written the word ‘difficult’ on his face.
Liu Si nodded. “I understand, of course. This kind of wine is rare! It must have been a real daunting task for you to get them! But, I don’t have that many Spiritual Stones. Would you be willing to settle for a trade?”
“A trade…” Chen Xiaobei contemplated. “It’s not that I’m not. Give me whatever Spiritual Stones you have on you first, then I’ll see what you can give me to make up for the difference!”
“I only have this… 500,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones…” Liu Si took out all the Spiritual Stones he had.
“Mm, that’s the correct amount!” Chen Xiaobei pocketed all the Spiritual Stones and then took out four bottles of Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine and gave it to the man. “These and the one just now are paid for with those Spiritual Stones! The rest of the five bottles will have to depend on whether or not you have anything that interests me!”
“Thank you! Thank you!” Liu Si accepted the bottles as if he had just received a box of gold.
Chen Xiaobei wanted to laugh when he saw the expression on Liu Si’s face.
This was because the fool would never guess that Chen Xiaobei had a giant vat of Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine in his Infinite Space Ring!
If he were to fill up the little bottles with all of the Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine, he would have to use at least 10,000 bottles!
Liu Si paid with everything he had in exchange for just five bottles, and he held them like they were babies, expressing gratitude towards Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei nearly exploded into laughter.
Of course, this was Chen Xiaobei’s secret. The rarer the item, the more expensive it was. If his secret was exposed, he won’t be able to sell the Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine for that price anymore.
Forcing away his desire to laugh, Chen Xiaobei waved his hand. “This is just a fair transaction. You don’t have to thank me! but if you want your ‘root’ to be completely healed, you will have to show me something worth 500,000 medium grade Spiritual Stones!”
Liu Si tucked the bottles away. “I understand… Do you have a preference?”
“Why? Could you give me whatever I like?” Chen Xiaobei asked him.
“No… I can’t…” Liu Si shook his head.
“Can the master behind you do it?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“My master? Are you talking about the owner of the black market?” Liu Si gulped. “Of course, he can! As long as it can be found in the Yellow Wind black market, and as long as the old man gives the green light, I could provide you with anything. Not just something worth only 500,000 medium grade Spiritual Stones but I could even give you something worth 500 million medium grade Spiritual Stones!”
“Give away an item worth 500 million medium grade Spiritual Stones?!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed. “The owner of this black market really is something!”
Liu Si smiled bitterly, “Unfortunately, I’m just a small fry. I can’t speak for him…”
“Don’t worry, I don’t want you to ask your master to give me anything!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “Let’s go. Let’s see if we can find anything that catches my eye that you are mandated to give!”
“No problem!” Liu Si smiled, leading the way.
…
With Master Liu Si as their guide, Chen Xiaobei and Su Xiaoman were finally able to enjoy the Yellow Wind black market.
While the thousands of shops here were nowhere near the tip of the Black Tortoise Imperial City, the shops were well-stocked will all sorts of things. They had everything you could ever imagine!
Most importantly, the rare and precious items that one could not find in most of the other markets could be found here!
“My god!” Su Xiaoman ran up to an inconspicuous shopfront and gawked at a scythe on display. She might as well had been glued to the ground.
Chen Xiaobei followed her and asked the shopkeeper, “Is there anything special about this scythe?”
“The two of you have a good eye!” The owner of the shop walked out smiling. “This is a Tiger Claw Scythe – made of an adult Giant Barbaric Tiger’s claws. Although it does not have any Special Abilities, it’s as hard and as strong as an Earth-God’s health! Above all that, this scythe has been around for 5,000 years! It was said that to have belonged to an ancestor of the Divine Tiger Faction! There’s only one of it in the entire world!”
Su Xiaoman chewed on her lower lip and asked nervously, “It must be very expensive, right?”
Before the shopkeeper could reply, Chen Xiaobei offered heroically, “Don’t need to ask for the price. If you like it, just take it. It’s my present to you!”
