Otherworldly-Cultivator-Chapter 13: Easy Money

After he left Nan Xinyue's cafe, Chen Li found a quiet place and used the Celestial Shapeshift Technique to transform himself into a wealthy middle-aged man. He did that because he wanted to sell some things to earn money. Moreover, his current appearance was too conspicuous because silver hair was not common for Earthlings, and his eyes were also silver.

"Haha! Why did you turn yourself into a middle-aged man like this, Chen Li?" Xiao Huoli asked as she guffawed; she felt his appearance was too funny.

Chen Li shrugged his shoulders as he laughed wryly. "I want to sell some gold bars from Master Song's storage ring, but the gold bars are too pure, and their quality is much higher than the gold in this world, so I don't want anyone to recognize me."

Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding and was satisfied with Chen Li's mindset. "Well, you are right; people will look for you after knowing the quality of those gold bars."

Before long, Chen Li arrived at the most prominent jewelry shop he knew, and he immediately walked into the shop and asked a shopkeeper. "Can I speak to the manager or owner of this store?"

"Why do you want to meet them, sir?" The shopkeeper asked politely because Chen Li looked like a wealthy man.

Chen Li showed the gold bars in his bag as he answered the shopkeeper. "I want to sell these gold bars, so I want to talk to one of them."

Even though he was just a shopkeeper, he could recognize the quality and purity of Chen Li's gold bars, and it really shocked him. "Please... Please wait a moment; I will inform the shop owner."

After that, the shopkeeper immediately ran to the back room. A few minutes later, he was back at the front, and he then brought Chen Li into the back room to meet the shop owner.

After Chen Li arrived inside, he immediately took out a gold bar, put it in front of the shop owner, and said. "I don't want to waste my time here, so you can give me a fair price."

The shop owner nodded in understanding. He then picked up the gold bar and observed it. 'Such beautiful gold! The purity is excellent! Even the golden color is very distinctive! Even though it is pure gold, it is not as soft as other pure gold, and I can turn it into jewelry; that way, I can earn more profit later.'

After observing the gold bar for a while, the shop owner took out a smartphone and a calculator. He showed Chen Li the normal price on the internet, and then he showed some numbers on the calculator. "Since the purity and quality of your gold bar are above market, I will also give you a price above market. We can complete the transaction directly if you agree with my price."

Xiao Huoli chuckled at that. "You are fortunate, Chen Li. This shop owner is an honest merchant."

'En, I know that. He's an old friend of my late father and well-known for being honest in his trade; that's why I want to sell them here.' Chen Li replied with a slight nod; he was quite surprised by the price offered by the shop owner. He then placed some other gold bars on the table as he said. "I agree to your price, and I have twenty kilos. You can weigh them first, and we'll finalize the deal afterward."

"Alright." The shop owner immediately took the scales in the cupboard behind him and weighed all the gold bars. After he finished weighing them, he then asked. "Do you want me to transfer the money to your account?"

"I want cash." Chen Li replied with a shake of his head. Since he was wearing a disguise, he certainly couldn't give his account number to the shop owner because he would immediately recognize his identity.

The shop owner was surprised to hear that but didn't ask Chen Li anything because he also often had large cash transactions with some of his customers. He nodded at him, then he walked to the back room to get the cash. Minutes later, he returned with a bag containing more than ten million yuan and handed it to Chen Li directly. "If you have any other gold bars, you can sell them to me again, and I will buy them at the same price."

"Alright." Chen Li nodded to him, and he left the jewelry shop right after.

When he arrived at a place where no one passed by, Chen Li returned to his original form and took out some money for his needs, and he stored the rest of the money in his storage ring.

"So what's your next plan, Chen Li? Are you going to see Feng Xian'er right now?" Xiao Huoli immediately asked.

Chen Li shook his head and answered her. "I still need more money to carry out my plan."

"Hmm? Why don't you just sell the Qinglian jade? You should be able to earn a lot more money from it." Xiao Huoli asked in confusion.

"Hehe." Chen Li chuckled upon hearing that. "Qinglian Jade can indeed bring me a lot of money, Sister Huoli. Unfortunately, we can't sell it just like that, and we have to find the right person to sell it; only then can I earn more money."

Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding; although the Qinglian jade was insignificant in her world, it was extremely precious and expensive on Earth. "So, where are you going now?"

"Hmm?" Chen Li thought as he rubbed his smooth chin for a while before he answered her question. "I plan to go to the gambling house, and I will definitely be able to win a lot of money there." 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Xiao Huoli was stunned momentarily, then let out a hearty laugh. "Haha! You are right! If you use your abilities in the gambling houses of this world, then no one will be able to stop you from earning a lot of money."

"En." Chen Li nodded with a smile, but before going to the gambling house, he first visited the most significant jade trading area.
