Chapter 2326
The moment the old man's words left his mouth, the surroundings fell silent.
The shopkeepers who had been complaining about the poor quality of the Moon Wolf pelts and the price of five per pelt turned their heads one after another and stared at the old man in astonishment. Looks of disbelief surfaced on their faces as if they were hallucinating.
Zi Chen stared at the old man in astonishment, clearly surprised by this scene.
Although Xiu Qi and the other three were furious, they were still stunned when they heard a reasonable price.
The old man from the Hort Clan was the first to ask, "Old man Ge, what did you say?"
The old man called Old Ge pointed to the pile of Moon Wolf pelts beside him and said, "I took eighty-six Moon Wolf pelts and gave them eighty-six drops of Saint Genesis Liquid."
"These lousy things aren't even worth a drop of Saint Genesis Liquid, yet you're giving them eighty-six drops?
Old man Ge, you've always been stingy. When did you become so generous? "
Old man Ge chuckled. "To an old man like me, these things are worth a few drops of Saint Genesis Liquid.
Bu Sen, your appetite is too big. "
Old man Ge no longer paid any attention to the other party and instead turned to Zi Chen. "Kid, this old man will take advantage of you today."
Under his gaze, the young man beside him took out a large jade bottle and poured out fourteen drops of Saint Genesis Liquid. He then sealed the bottle and gave the rest to Zi Chen.
Zi Chen received the bottle with the same smile as before and said, "I already said that I'll take whatever price you give me."
"Haha, this old man feels that this price is worth it!"
After speaking, the old man turned around and the young man immediately supported him. At the same time, two burly men walked out from the crowd and left with the Moon Wolf pelts.
This was only a small interlude. The others continued to pick when it was time to do so. Of course, when they reached the bottom, Tang Pu quickly stepped forward and forcefully took away the Moon Wolf King pelts that had been rolled up.
The others did not pay too much attention to this. After all, it was difficult to tell the quality of the rolled up pelts.
Soon, the selection process reached a climax. Among them, there were people from six shops who took all of Zi Chen's remaining Moon Wolf Pelts.
During this period, the old man from the Huo Te Clan had taken 718 sheets, which should have been given to Zi Chen by 93 drops of Sacred Source Fluid. In addition to the three sheets, the old man had said that Zhou Yuan was a big customer, so giving him three extra sheets shouldn't be a big deal.
Thus, Hort Busen from the Hort Family gave Tang Pu 93 drops of Sacred Source Liquid.
Tang Pu received the jade bottle, opened it, and poured out a drop for a closer inspection. His expression instantly turned ugly as he angrily said, "This isn't Sacred Source Liquid!"
The Hort Family's Bu Sen said, "If this isn't sacred source fluid, then what is it?"
"It's diluted Sacred Source Liquid!
It's not real Sacred Source Liquid! "
Tang Pu's face turned red as he forcefully suppressed his anger. He looked at the confused Zi Chen and said, "Ten drops of diluted Sacred Source Fluid for one normal drop.
The dozens of drops here are only equivalent to less than five drops of Sacred Source Liquid. "
Zi Chen looked at Hort Busen, who smiled faintly and said, "You didn't say clearly that you didn't want diluted Sacred Source Liquid. I thought that one for six was a diluted Sacred Source Liquid.
If it was normal Sacred Source Liquid, who would be willing to exchange with you at such a price? "
Just as Bu Sen was speaking, two middle-aged men walked over. They stared at Zi Chen with cold eyes. It was obvious that they were threatening him.
"Diluted Sacred Source Liquid is fine."
Zi Chen said again. Seeing that Tang Pu was about to say something, he waved his hand and signaled for the other party to keep quiet.
Tang Pu shut his mouth and put away the items, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
Xiu Qi and the others had already completely accepted their fate. What ability did they have to go against all the factions in a small town?
With the previous example, the others also learned their lesson and gave out diluted Sacred Source Liquid.
Zi Chen had exchanged an entire cart of Moon Wolf pelts for less than a hundred drops of Sacred Source Liquid. It was a disastrous loss, and he might as well have agreed with the other party.
Fortunately, Old Ge, who had taken the worst but paid the highest price, had given Zhou Bao more than eighty drops. Otherwise, they would have really gotten nothing.
The Moon Wolf pelts on the cart were divided up, leaving only the withered branches on the ground. Zi Chen turned to the four people and said, "You guys can take those. There's no need to give them to me. We'll go our separate ways in the future."
With that, Zi Chen ignored the four people and walked towards the small town.
Seeing that the main character had left just like that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was clearly over.
But was it really over?
...
...
Old Ge returned to his shop with the help of the young man. He owned a grocery store, and although it wasn't big, it had all kinds of groceries.
However, his business wasn't doing well because the items sold here were too expensive. It was considered one of the few unscrupulous shops in Sohui Town, comparable to Old Fart Wei's smithy in the corner.
"Grandpa, why did you give out so much Sacred Source Liquid? Isn't one drop enough?" the young man asked in puzzlement after returning to the grocery store.
"These are Moon Wolf pelts. Even if we took defective ones, we could at least earn twice the price if we sold them," Old Ge said with a grin.
"But you could have earned a few hundred times more?" the young man mumbled.
"Silly child, have you heard of anyone who managed to survive the encirclement of Moon Wolf hunters?
Have you seen anyone who could get so much Moon Wolf pelts? "
Old Ge looked at the young Yam and said, "You saw the previous battle. Those first rank hunters couldn't even last a single exchange and were slaughtered."
"So what?
He can't possibly make everyone in town his enemy. Didn't he compromise in the end? "Yam said.
"That's right. That kid did compromise in the end, but it was only a temporary compromise, child!
This doesn't mean anything. It only means that the kid knows how to endure and is a truly dangerous existence. "
Old Ge looked outside and said, "In this world, there are indeed experts who can tame tigers and force them to bow their heads.
However, such experts definitely aren't in Sohui Town. That kid isn't just a tiger, he's a tiger with extremely high intelligence! "
"What do you mean?"
"Just wait and see. It won't be long before something big happens in this town.
If you want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, you need to at least have the strength to subdue the tiger. If you don't have this strength, you'll only end up dead! "
...
...
Zi Chen brought dozens of drops of Sacred Source Liquid into the town.
He didn't return to the smithy directly, but instead went to a small shop.
Now that he was rich, it was time for him to change out of his blood-stained clothes. Wearing them made him feel very uncomfortable.
After buying new clothes, Zi Chen found an inn and took a comfortable bath. After washing off all the bloodstains on his body, he walked out in a relaxed manner.
After walking out, Zi Chen ordered a few dishes and a jug of wine. Just like that, he ate and drank alone.
There were a few people around Zi Chen who kept looking at Zi Chen. These were people who had followed Zi Chen all the way. Clearly, not everyone was at ease with an existence that could slaughter a first rank hunter.
After drinking a jug of wine, Zi Chen stood up and was about to pay the bill and leave when he saw four people walk in. It was Xiu Qi and the other three, who were dressed in blood-stained clothes.
"Zi Chen!" The four people came to Zi Chen's side.
"Why are you still here?
Look at how dirty you are. Hurry up and wash up, "said Zi Chen as he looked at the four of them.
"We're not leaving. We'll always follow you. We'll go wherever you go!" Xiu Qi said resolutely. He already had some guesses in his heart.
"Forget it. You guys are too weak!"
Zi Chen waved his hand and turned to leave.
In the town, Zi Chen randomly grabbed a person and asked him a few questions before heading to the shop that person had described.
It was a general store. It was said that the goods inside were very comprehensive, but the prices were very expensive. Under normal circumstances, the price would be about 05% higher.
Now that Zi Chen had over 655 drops of Sacred Source Liquid on him, he could be considered rich and overbearing. He wasn't afraid of how expensive the goods were, as long as they were real.
Zi Chen walked in when he saw that almost no one patronized the general store. He was stunned when he saw the old man he had traded with.
"Welcome, kid." Old Man Ge was all smiles as he looked at Zi Chen, as if he had already expected the latter to come.
"Why are you here, old man?
Is this your store? "Zi Chen asked in surprise.
"Of course!
Kid, what do you want? Just tell me. My store's prices are fair and honest! "
"Does your store have tri-colored poison fog?"
"It might take some effort to find four-colored fog, but my store has plenty of tri-colored fog.
Moreover, I can guarantee that the tri-colored poison fog in Sohui Town is the most authentic and the most powerful. Of course, it's also the most expensive!
How much do you want? "
"I want as much as you have!"
This was a big deal for the general store, and it was usually very difficult to come across such a situation.
Old Man Ge was very happy today. It wasn't because his store finally had a big deal, but because his Moon Wolf pelts would truly become his after this transaction was completed.
He personally sent Zi Chen out of the general store and watched as Zi Chen left in a black windbreaker and a gourd filled with tri-colored poison fog. Beside him, the young man, Yam, was so shocked that he was speechless.
Seeing Zi Chen's figure gradually disappear, Old Man Ge sighed and said, "The tiger is about to counterattack. Something big is about to happen!
Now, let's see if they have the strength to subdue the tiger. "
"Grandpa, he bought the tri-colored poison fog, but he didn't buy the antidote."
"Some people don't need the antidote!"
"He doesn't need the antidote?
Then where is he going? "
"He's probably going to the Hort Family to find Hort Busen!"
"To the Hort Family. There are two Rank 7 hunters there, and many Rank 6 hunters!"
"Perhaps none will be left by tomorrow."
