Repugnant Gateway-Chapter 16
Chapter 16
The white-bearded old man had never seen such a person fight for peace before. Despite his young age and experience, his actions were truly too terrible to bear.
He had originally thought that An Zhe would be very shabby if he grabbed a handful of crushed silver to buy the bead, but he didn’t expect An Zhe’s subsequent actions to be even more shocking.
An Zeng grabbed a handful of silver from his chest and extended his hand to the white moustached old man. “Do you want to sell it to me?”
Before the white moustached old man could say anything, An Zhe withdrew his hand and picked out two big ones from the silver in his hand. “I took too much … Sorry.”
“This item is only worth this price, it makes my heart ache.”
“Hmph!”
The white moustached old man flicked his sleeve, “The items from the Gathering of the Shang Clan, never change their prices, rather destroy them than lower them.”
An Zhan thought about it for a moment before saying, “Then, what if I am able to save you 150,000 taels of silver? What if I am able to save you 150,000 taels of silver?”
“Can you give me this bead?”
The white moustached old man was stunned, then he mocked, “You youngster, although you know that water python, but I think it is most likely related to your living conditions.”
It seemed that you were poor, and most likely, you would come here to hunt for food.
So you are athletic and experienced, only because you are poor.
“You won’t take out more than two hundred silver taels from me. I’m afraid it was someone else who rewarded you, right?”
“Some noble young masters think that a person like you has a playful nature, so it’s fine if you just stay by their side as a plaything.”
If you really think that by selling your body like this, you’ll be able to behave atrociously in the market … I’m afraid even your master won’t be able to protect you.
I’ll leave some face for your master, and you can go back and sit properly.
To recover 150,000 silver for me?
With just you?
“If you’ve seen 150,000 silver, then I’ll be your horse.”
The white moustached old man was originally a person with a shrewd mind, so he wouldn’t have shamelessly insulted a youth in front of so many customers. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
However, because of what An Ying had said earlier, he had lost one hundred and fifty thousand silver taels.
150,000 silver, how many lives could he buy?
“Are you serious?”
An Zhan said with a smile, “People always say that you are wise. If I can get you 150,000 taels of silver, I will ride you home and help you recognize the sect.”
He walked to the place where he previously cut the stone’s master’s gourd. It was the place where someone had previously spent 200,000 taels of silver to cut the gourd, but there was only a piece of walnut-sized flawed spiritual jade.
The masters of Stonehenge were all extraordinary, and their sabre techniques were superb. The pieces of stone that fell from them were similar to slices of roast duck.
At this moment, the gravel on the ground had yet to be cleaned up and was being thrown away.
An Zeng walked over, squatted down and casually dug through the rocks a few times. Then, he picked up a piece and walked towards the old man with a white beard, “If you can’t sell this thing for one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, I’ll be your horse today.”
“If you sell it for more than 150,000 taels, I won’t ride you into the streets. You only need to give me the Water Python and then politely say that I was wrong.”
The white moustached old man laughed from his extreme rage: “Madman, I’ve met a madman today!”
An Zeng ignored him and quickly walked up to the platform and held up the stone piece in his hand. “Everyone, do you know what’s good for you?”
“Do you know what the red lines are?”
Everyone stood up and leaned forward, staring with wide eyes.
As Chen Xi pointed it out, they saw some hair-like red stripes on the stone.
Even though these buyers did not have any true masters, they were already experienced and knowledgeable.
But soon, someone recognized him and his face changed. “Spirit Root?”
“That’s a spiritual root?!”
An Zhan glanced at the white moustached old man, then clapped his hands: “This customer has good eyesight, but you are wrong, this is not a true spiritual root, but a spiritual root that has almost completely dispersed spiritual energy … Do you know why the spiritual jade that was cut out from the green melon earlier was so small and flawed?”
That was because it was too greedy … The essence of the earth, turned into spirit stones in ten thousand years, was a low-grade.
One hundred thousand spirit stones was a middle grade spirit stone.
“Three hundred thousand years to form a spirit stone. It’s a Superior Grade spirit stone.”
“The spirit stone in the green melon was originally a mid-grade spirit stone.
As you all know, when a spirit stone reaches middle grade, it will have its own spirit.
At the upper level, one would even take human form and have their own intelligence.
A valuable spirit stone was even scarier than an unparalleled Vicious Beast.
“When the mid-grade spirit stones in the green melon have gained intelligence, they are probably eager to advance. They want to become high-grade ones as soon as possible, so they force themselves to grow spiritual roots in an attempt to absorb the essence of the heaven and earth to take human form.”
“However, it is only a mid-grade spirit stone after all, so after the spiritual energy in one’s body became spiritual roots, the spirit stone itself will be depleted.”
Without the support of the main body, the spiritual root gradually collapsed.
But even so, if he could make good use of these wasted spiritual roots, refining a Life Continuing Pill would not be a problem.
“I only ask one thing … One hundred and fifty thousand silver taels for my life, is it worth it?”
On the second floor, everyone in the private rooms came out. The people from the big families were all standing in the corridor, their hands on the railings as they looked towards An Zhe.
To them, a Life Continuing Pill wasn’t considered a treasure, but a peaceful fight for it!
Chen Shaobai felt that he had picked up a treasure. He thought that this An Zaiyue was decisive enough to act ruthlessly enough to be his underling. Now it seemed that this kid was a genius!
“I offer one hundred fifty thousand!”
A burly man raised his arm and shouted, “People in the martial world will fight and kill. The Life Continuing Pill only requires a sliver of life force, but this father’s life is more than one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, not even worth one million and five hundred thousand taels of silver.
“I’ll buy this!”
“I offer one hundred and sixty thousand!”
“I offer one hundred and seventy thousand!”
“I offer two hundred thousand!”
When An Zaixin heard the familiar voice, he turned around and realized that the man who spent two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the melon had returned …
This man was truly generous. In the future, the people in the martial world would call him ‘Brother 200,000’.
“I’ll give it to you.”
An Zhan handed the broken spirit root stone over to the man, “You’ve made a loss of two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the Spirit Jade. One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver to buy this item is definitely not a loss.”
The man was stunned. “One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver?”
An Xuan said, “Of course it’s one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. I said it’s worth one hundred fifty thousand taels of silver, but it’s worth one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. It’s not worth a single copper coin.”
I picked it up as a free gift to the Gathering Shop.
“What, you’re not even giving us this little face?”
He turned his head to look at the white moustached old man, and discovered that his opponent’s face was already extremely contorted, his face alternating between livid and pale. Even if he ate feces, it wouldn’t be this bad.
This white moustached old man had been doing the main shoot for decades at the Gathering Shang Manor, he has never seen anything good before.
However, how could he possibly notice that there was a treasure worth one hundred and fifty thousand silver taels amongst the trash?
When he saw An Zaihai looking at him, he was at a loss of what to say.
“Then one hundred and fifty thousand.”
At this moment, a woman of indeterminate age walked out from behind him.
He was wearing a purple dress and had a perfect figure.
His face was covered with a veil, but only his eyes were visible.
Her purple dress was not a jumpsuit, and her blouse was small, so that her thin white waist was exposed and her eyes were dazzled.
When walking, it was as thrilling as a water snake twisting its body.
“Why did you come out?”
The old man quickly went over and bowed.
The purple-dressed woman said indifferently, “If I don’t come out now, you will lose all your face at the Gathering Shang Manor.”
Your eye of discernment from the thirty-seven years of filming is actually inferior to that of a ten-year-old child. Think about how you can earn your living in the future.
“Previously, you withheld the salary of an examiner for a year, and I withheld it from you for five years. Do you have any complaints?”
“Your subordinate doesn’t dare.”
The white moustached old man bent over, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
The purple-dressed woman walked in front of An Xuan, smiling like a fairy. “Little brother, you have such good eyesight. You don’t look like the child of a poor man. I’m afraid you’ve encountered some difficulties?”
“How about this, you stay in my Gathering Merchant Guild to do some work, and I will let you achieve the role of the host within two years, how about that?”
An Zhan pointed at the white moustached old man and said, “You can only replace him after two years?”
If you don’t do it, you won’t do it.
It looks like you’re the one who’s in charge. Give me my stuff. ”
He reached out.
The girl in white dress stood there hesitantly. The purple-dressed woman nodded her head and the girl quickly handed the white pearl over to An Xuan with a relieved expression.
The purple-dressed woman said, “Little brother, it would be a waste if you put your talent outside.”
“Don’t underestimate the main filming. In the future, if you achieve a bit more, I’ll let you be the head manager of the Gathering Merchant House.”
“Low.”
An Xuan put away the white pearl and wiped his hands on his clothes. “Is the head storekeeper very tall?”
I think I can go higher.
“How about this, I will roam around for three to five years and come look for you when I become an adult?”
These words didn’t sound like those of a ten-year-old child, but instead made the purple-dressed girl blush.
She was going to get angry at first, but when she saw the serious expression on An Zeng’s face, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Naughty … By the time you reach adulthood, I’m already old and worn out.”
However, everyone has their own aspirations, so I won’t force them.
When you think it through, come to me. ”
An Zhe nodded and stood there without moving.
The purple-dressed woman asked, “What, is there something else?”
An Zeng pointed at the white-bearded old man and said, “He still owes me a favor.”
The white moustached old man’s expression did not stop changing as he stared at An Zhe viciously.
The purple-dressed woman bent over An Zeng, feeling that this youth was truly interesting.
As An Zaiyue looked at her, he felt that this milky-ditch was very deep.
The purple-dressed woman straightened her body, “Old Xu, don’t lose the face of the Merchant House.”
The old man stomped his feet in anger, “Master An, I was wrong!”
An Zhan shrugged his shoulders. “Although his attitude isn’t considered upright, that’s all there is to it. Master An isn’t someone who doesn’t want to forgive others.”
He walked back to the second floor in front of those people.
The way Chen Shaobai looked at him had long changed. He had the feeling of a teenage girl looking at a lover.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m in the right.”
Chen Shaobai said, “I can’t lose face either. What I said just now was true.”
You stay, not with me, but with me.
“From today onwards, there will be a place for you in the Chen Clan.”
An Zeng carried the cat and sat down. He slowly rubbed the white pearl in his hand, then rubbed it down with a layer of fine white powder.
He let the cat lick it, muttering to himself as he watched it eat, “It was already given to you from the start. If I’m poor in the future, you can’t turn your back on me.”
The cat looked up at him and rubbed him in his arms.
“You have more conscience than men, and more conscience than many.”
Chen Shaobai asked, “An Zhan, is that thing really a water python?”
An Zhan shook his head. “Of course not. This is a low-tier magical beast core.”
Chen Shaobai immediately stared with his eyes wide open. “You … you tricked the Old Xu of the Gathering Merchant House just like that?”
An Zaixin thought, I even lied to you, this thing obviously isn’t a low-rank magical beast core … but a low-rank middle rank one. One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver definitely won’t sell it.
