Chapter 1049: Expensive Price (1/2)
”Let's return to the topic...” Davis cast his glance at the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn. It still kept snickering like a fool, but at his point, even Xiao Meili was not afraid of it since she realized that it could not do anything to her despite its cringe-worthy appearance.
”How much does this cost?”
Xiao Meili gulped as she hesitated, ”A-Alchemist Davis... It's too expensive for its grade...”
”How much?” Davis repeated.
Xiao Melli raised her hand and stretched five fingers, ”Fifty Peak-Level Spirit Stones...”
Davis pursed his lips and his brows knitted with a frown. The price was almost damn near a trash-quality Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure!
”Is it not acceptable to pay with 50,000 High-Level Spirit Stones?”
”A-Alchemist Davis...!” Xiao Meili became flustered, ”The conversation rate is more than five times, and that would make it 250,000 High-Level Spirit Stones, but even then, this Spirit Attribute Source is only sold for Peak-Level Spirit Stones. It's stated there in the jade slip.”
'Won't sell...' Davis inwardly laughed.
”Alright, I won't trouble you since you're just a salesperson. Call the Grand Elder who seems owns this place. I'll settle this with him rather than the manager...”
Not negotiate with the manager but the Grand Elder?
Xiao Meili went blank at the other party's blatant disrespect but recalling that Alchemist Davis was like a person with immense status right now, she knew that his rude behavior would be more or less ignored.
So, she simultaneously felt like she wouldn't be penalized for trying to contact the Grand Elder. Instead, it was evident that the Grand Elder might applaud, and perhaps even reward her for her efforts. She inwardly berated herself, thinking about why she didn't consider this earlier.
”Please wait for a moment. I cannot directly contact the Grand Elder, and neither can I contact the Grand Elder without gaining approval from the store's manager.”
Apologizing with a bow again, Xiao Meili took out a messaging talisman.
”Manager Yuven Alstreim, A-Alchemist Davis wants to see Grand Elder-”
”Grand Elder has already entered the Spirit Attribute Source Hall.”
Xiao Melli froze.
She instantly got to the point as she didn't want these esteemed guests to wait but was suddenly told by the manager that their Grand Elder was already here. She came back to her reverie and looked towards in the direction of the entrance.
However, no one appeared in her sight.
She blinked and noticed that there was a hazy presence moving to and fro like a ghost.
Someone was behind her!
”!!!”
”Eek!~”
She shrieked and retreated, thinking that it might be the Poison Essence!
”Hahaha!” The unabated laughter of a person echoed as if satisfied with her reaction.
Xiao Meili became aghast as her footsteps faltered! She almost slipped and fell towards Alchemist Davis, but she quickly controlled her balance and flew towards the side!
However, she was unable to stop herself from ramming into the wall!
”!!!”
Davis felt exasperated, but his hand was lifted up as he pointed at her.
Was being saved by him so disgraceful that she'd rather headbutt the wall instead?
Xiao Melli held her head in defense and closed her eyes, bracing for the impact, but she felt a sponge-like material suddenly stop her. She raised her head and looked at the layer of soul force that protected her from colliding towards the wall in wonder, but she momentarily became pale, knowing that she had almost become a cripple if it weren't for this soul force protecting her.
