Chapter 25: Senior Brother, You Can’t Insult My Intelligence

“Three thousand five hundred.” Yi Zhongyu had been one of the Ten Outstanding Outer Sect Disciples for many years, and he carried no small number of Yunqi Pills on him.

Although this low-grade treasure sword was no longer worth that price, Yi Zhongyu was determined to compete. He didn’t care about the cost anymore.

The surrounding outer sect disciples watched in astonishment. Some had never seen such a scene before.

This was a battle between two of the Ten Outstanding Outer Sect Disciples. Even if one wished to witness such a sight, it wasn’t easy to come by.

Lin Fan stood aside, feeling quite pleased. The more intense the bidding war between the two, the more benefits he would reap.

“Four thousand,” Meng Yangquan said calmly.

Yunqi Pills were essential for newly initiated outer sect disciples, but for Meng Yangquan, who had already reached the sixth stage of true cultivation, they were nothing significant.

“Four thousand five hundred.”

“Yi, little junior brother, continuing like this is pointless. Let me offer ten thousand,” Meng Yangquan said, deciding to raise the price directly to ten thousand, ending their slow bidding war.

Lin Fan stood nearby, almost unable to hold himself.

Each pill was worth one hundred experience points, so ten thousand pills meant one million experience points.

Oh my god, this is a huge profit. Absolutely a huge profit.

The surrounding outer sect disciples were shocked upon hearing ten thousand pills, looking at Lin Fan with envy.

This low-grade treasure sword actually sold for ten thousand pills. This… this…

Lin Fan looked at Meng Yangquan with shining eyes. What a rich guy, truly a rich guy. To spend extravagantly for a girl, that’s when a man is most charming. While some might say a man’s most attractive moment is when he’s working hard, every girl secretly thinks that a man’s most charming moment is when he spends money for her sake.

At this moment, Yi Zhongyu’s expression turned cold. He truly couldn’t produce ten thousand Yunqi Pills. It wasn’t that Yi Zhongyu was poor; he just hadn’t accumulated many of these pills.

Moreover, Yi Zhongyu wasn’t foolish enough to bring out high-grade pills, as even those were difficult for him to obtain.

“Senior Brother Meng, your generosity is admirable. Spending extravagantly for Senior Sister Chenyu, junior brother truly admires you. Excuse me,” Yi Zhongyu said and prepared to leave, having lost interest in the remaining two weapons at Lin Fan’s stall, which weren’t swords.

“Little junior brother, please wait,” Meng Yangquan called out.

Yi Zhongyu, who was about to leave, slightly changed expression. Could it be Meng was going to humiliate him?

“Seeing that junior brother seems to urgently need a low-grade treasure sword, I happen to have one. If junior brother doesn’t mind, I’d like to give it to you,” Meng Yangquan said, taking out a sword.

Yi Zhongyu was slightly taken aback, then replied coldly and ungraciously, “No need. Senior brother can keep it. Junior brother takes his leave.”

Seeing Yi Zhongyu leave in anger, Meng Yangquan slightly shook his head, then reached into his waist pouch and took out a small bag. “Junior brother Lin, this bag contains ten thousand Yunqi Pills.”

Lin Fan took the bag, slightly stunned. Could such a small bag really hold ten thousand Yunqi Pills? It seemed like an exaggeration.

“叮, discovered a primary spatial bag (Primary Spatial Bag).”

“Used for storing items, forged from small Tian crystal.”

“Junior brother Lin, I’ll give this bag to you as well,” Meng Yangquan said.

At this moment, Lin Fan was delighted. He figured out that Senior Brother Meng was just too kind-hearted.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Meng.” Lin Fan naturally didn’t need this Primary Spatial Bag, as he already had a backpack that was far superior. However, since it was a gift from his senior brother, he couldn’t refuse it outright. He’d find time to exchange it for pills later, which would be a solid deal.

“Senior brother, this is the ‘Sky-Sundering, Sun-Moon-Annihilating Sword.'” Lin Fan then handed the low-grade treasure sword to Senior Brother Meng.

After grasping it, Meng Yangquan praised, “Not bad, the craftsmanship is exquisite. It’s much better than ordinary low-grade weapons. However, this name… In my opinion, since the sword’s spiritual light flows like water, it would be more appropriate to call it ‘Spiritual Flow Sword.’ What do you think, junior sister?”

“Whatever Senior Brother decides,” Mu Chenyu said, her face slightly blushing as she nodded happily.

Lin Fan looked at the two and thought, “A beautiful sword paired with a beautiful woman is a perfect match.”

At this moment, Meng Yangquan smiled after hearing this, while Ni Mingyang looked at Meng with some surprise. Today, his senior brother had smiled more in front of outsiders than usual, which was quite rare.

“Junior brother, I must remind you, setting up stalls here is prohibited. If the sect’s patrol team sees this, it could cause some trouble,” Meng Yangquan said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. Could it be that this world actually had something like city management officers?

“Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother. I’ll keep it in mind,” Lin Fan said, bowing gratefully.

Meng Yangquan nodded, then turned to Ni Mingyang and said, “Mingyang, you stay here and help this junior brother sell his weapons. If the patrol team comes, you can assist him.”

“Yes, Senior Brother,” Ni Mingyang nodded.

“Junior sister, let’s go,” Meng Yangquan said.

“Okay, Senior Brother.”

“Hmph, fairy!” After Meng left, Ni Mingyang angrily cursed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately felt something was wrong. Could it be that Ni Mingyang actually had a relationship with Senior Brother Meng?

“Senior Brother, was that Senior Sister just now Senior Brother Meng’s partner?” Lin Fan asked curiously.

“Hmph, just an elf. Anyway, don’t mention her anymore. Junior brother, quickly sell the remaining two weapons. If the patrol team sees them, it could cause some trouble,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Alright…” Although Lin Fan loved gossip, he decided to focus on business for now. After all, there were still yaojing to deal with.

With ten thousand Yunqi Pills in hand, if he worked hard, he’d definitely profit greatly.

The remaining two low-grade weapons were named “Chasing-the-Sun Wolf Tooth Club” and “Heaven-Sundering Axe.” Their names were still as霸气狂拽吊, exuding the same grandeur as before.

Their selling prices naturally couldn’t match the ten thousand Yunqi Pills offered by Senior Brother Meng. However, since it was his first business venture, the items were in high demand, and there were many wealthy senior brothers in the outer sect.

The two weapons together sold for seven thousand Yunqi Pills.

Other brothers who couldn’t afford so many Yunqi Pills were heartbroken. Such cool low-grade weapons were all gone like that.

As for whether there would be more next time, naturally, there wouldn’t be. Low-grade weapons weren’t cabbages; they weren’t easy to come by.

When Lin Fan was about to pack up and leave, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

“Senior brother, that’s my sword…” The voice sounded pitiful and slightly choked up.

Lin Fan looked and felt a bit softened. “Junior brother, you’re still here.”

“Senior brother, that’s my sword. I just received it yesterday,” the newly initiated junior brother said pitifully, tears welling up in his eyes.

“There, there. Big men don’t cry. Come here at the same time tomorrow, and Senior brother will compensate you with a low-grade treasure sword. How about that? Happy now?” Lin Fan said.

“Senior brother, you can scold me, hit me, but you can’t insult my intelligence…”

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. “I didn’t insult your intelligence. Senior Brother Ni is here as a witness. Would he let me deceive you?” Lin Fan said.

Eventually, with Ni Mingyang’s presence, the newly initiated junior brother left half-believing, half-doubting.

This made Lin Fan feel somewhat helpless.

Now, Lin Fan still had one good item in hand, a mid-grade weapon forged from the broken sword of Yin Mochen.

However, this time he didn’t bring it out, because among the outer sect disciples, how many could afford it? He’d wait until he entered the inner sect and encountered some rich guys before bringing it out.

On the way, Ni Mingyang kept asking curiously.

“Junior brother, where did you get these weapons?”

“I forged them.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely true. Could there be any falsehood?”

“Junior brother, since we have such a good relationship, could you make one for Senior Brother too?”

“Sure, just prepare the materials and steal me a peach.”

“No problem. What materials?”

“Iron ore…”

“Hey, Senior Brother, where’d you go?” When Lin Fan turned his head, he suddenly noticed that Ni Mingyang had vanished.

“Wait for me, junior brother. I’m going to get some iron ore right now,” came Ni Mingyang’s slightly excited voice from a distance.
