Chapter 177: He’s that Demonic Star
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Tang Xiu wasn’t paying any attention to any delicacies right now. His mind was fully occupied with two kinds of thoughts. Firstly, he wanted to snatch the “food” from the Qilin’s mouth and take out the sky sandstones from the cavern. Even if he could only get a few pieces out, it was enough for his uses for a long time. Secondly, he needed to make money. And with the addition of nearly 200-million-yuan new debt, it made him be more determined to do it.
“Anyways, I’ve already received your money. But can I ask you something? Are the two of you quite rich?”
Whilst looking at the two men’s smiling faces, Tang Xiu shifted his attention toward them. He had a lot of good things which were ten thousand times better than the Beast Subduing Secret Art. He thought that as long as Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang could provide the sum, he could sell them something. At least for a sum that would enable him to clear his current debt.
Miao Wentang asked with a confused tone, “Huh? We can say we have some. But anyway, are you in a very dire need of money, Brother Tang?”
“Pretty much!” Tang Xiu said.
Miao Wentang said with a smile, “How much do you need? As long as we have the amount you need, you can take the money first.”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Nah, I thought to have some deals with the two of you if you have a lot of money. But the premise is that you _do_ have enough money for it.”
Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen glanced at each other as they replied one after another:
“Well, I can take out 1.5 billion without a problem.”
“1 billion for me.”
A smile revealed all over Tang Xiu’s face as he said, “You’re lucky that I’m in debt now. I’ll sell a set of Immortal cultivation technique to you for 2.5 billion, how about it?”
An Immortal cultivation law and technique?
A trace of awkward expression revealed on Miao Wentang’s face as he replied with a forced smile, “Brother Tang, if it’s something else, perhaps we’re happy to accept it. For instance, that Beast Subduing Secret Art of yours. But you too know that we are also cultivators ourselves and we have our own inheritances of cultivation laws and techniques. Even if you sell us another set of cultivation technique, we won’t be able to cultivate it, will we?”
Shao Mingzhen also nodded and said, “Practicing two kinds of cultivation techniques simultaneously is a no-no since I think it’s a much better choice to focus on practicing one type of cultivation technique. Besides, we also have limited energy, to begin with.”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “No, if you heard me clearly, what I offered you is not a Daoist cultivation technique, but an Immortal cultivation one.”
Involuntarily laughing upon hearing this, Miao Wentang then said, “Brother Tang, what nonsensical things are you speaking? Where would such Immortal cultivation technique exist in this world?”
Tang Xiu turned his head and waved to the staffer of the food stall, asking to lend him a paper and pen. After that, he wrote a set of ordinary cultivation technique on the paper as well as adding clear and detailed annotations and illustrations to practice it. Then, he gave it to Miao Wentang and lightly spoke, “Read this set of cultivation technique exercises, if you feel that it isn’t worth 2.5 billion yuan, I’ll talk no longer.”
Miao Wentang received it with a skeptical expression, while Shao Mingzhen gathered up with him. The two of them then read the written Immortal cultivation technique Tang Xiu gave them with serious expressions.
Half a minute later.
An astonished expression revealed on their faces.
A minute later.
Their expression changed into a flabbergasted one.
Two minutes later.
They stood with trembling bodies and their eyes tightly stared at the Immortal cultivation technique in their hands without them realizing it.
Five minutes later.
They turned their head with difficulty and looked at Tang Xiu with shocked expressions, and were unable to express anything for a long time.
“You… d-do you really want to sell this for 2.5 billion yuan?” Finally, Miao Wentang asked with a shivering voice.
“Yes!”
Tang Xiu replied with a calm tone.
Miao Wentang pounded the table and exclaimed loudly, “DEAL! 2.5 billion yuan then. We are willing to even sacrifice everything for this one! Wait for a few days and I’ll transfer the money into your account!”
Shao Mingzhen also loudly said, “NO, no need for a couple of days later! I’ll contact the General Manager of my company to transfer the money to your account ASAP! I and Brother Miao will share the pay!”
Ten meters away from the outside.
The group of people who were drinking with Scarblade Qiang was startled upon hearing the sudden shouts from Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen.
One of the big men, who was already red drunk, exclaimed resentfully, “Those people in that table are really damn idiots! Those idiots made this Big Daddy startled and almost made me wet my pants. I’m a timid person, you scared me out, so you’ll truly get your share!”
Another man also said loudly, “Yes! Our hearts are not strong enough to be startled by you! And what’s this 2.5 billion bull? Even if you wanna show off, you gotta look around you! Don’t you fear that some ghosts will blow you out? If you got 2.5 billion, why the hell are you eating in a bird shit food stall like this huh?”
