324 An Elaborate Scam (2/2)

”Ah, Daoist Master, look this good man here is obviously an ordinary person. He isn't cultivating. Wouldn't giving him the Seal of Doom be a waste? How about this? You can give the seal to me and I'll buy the tanghulu for you?”

Su Yan pursed his lips. Who wanted this random guy to buy him a tanghulu? He wanted his boyfriend to buy him one! This absolutely wasn't the same!

Nie Chang didn't mind either way but the second man from before finally decided that he didn't need to fear this Daoist Master and jumped back into the conversation. ”This friend, what are you saying? It's just a tanghulu! How can you expect His Excellency to give up a level seven mythical artifact for that? No, no. Since it's always a pleasure to meet new people, how about I gift this tanghulu to you, Your Excellency?” The man even went so far as to cup his fists and bow.

Don't kid him! Having a level seven mythical artifact was great but you also needed the strength to keep it. If you didn't have that, then in the worst case, you'd end up dead before being able to carry the treasure home. Gaining the favorable impression or maybe even the friendship of a mighty cultivator was worth much more. Especially since a person that could casually take out such a rarity to pay for a tanghulu certainly had even more valuable things, hehe!

Nie Chang once again tried to speak up but was interrupted by his little darling tugging at his sleeve. He looked back and was met with a highly dissatisfied gaze. ”Uh … What is it?”

”Didn't you want to buy me one? How did it turn into some random dude giving a tanghulu to you?”

The man who had been dubbed 'some random dude' really wanted to lecture the brat but seeing the Daoist Master reach out and pat his head, he hurriedly gulped his dissatisfaction down and plastered a good-natured smile onto his face.

Nie Chang ignored him and instead concentrated on pacifying his little darling. ”How could that be? That man was just making a suggestion. We don't have to accept.” With that, he turned back to the stall owner. ”Owner, how about it? This Seal of Doom against that tanghulu?”

The stall owner's expression twisted. He still felt that something was wrong here. These people had turned in a circle once and now it was back to him to decide whether or not he wanted to exchange. Well, if this really was some priceless artifact, then naturally he wanted to! But what if this was indeed an elaborate scam? Ah, what should he do!

Nie Chang saw his expression and furrowed his brows. ”You won't? Uh … How about exchanging against something else? Maybe something more practical?” He looked through his spatial ring again. Suddenly, his expression brightened. ”Ah! How about this? I'm sure your wife would like it!” The thing he produced this time was a silver hairpin, embedded with several jewels.

The stall owner's eyes went wide. His wife would indeed like this! Just when he wanted to accept, the two cultivators two the side screamed.

”The ninth-grade spirit artifact Hairpin of Regeneration?!”

”One of the five highest-acclaimed healing artifacts?!”

This time their cries drew even more people over. The stall owner's lips twitched. If this was a scam, it truly was too elaborate.
