231 Lets Sell All Nine Items! (1/2)

Zhong Yin, a disciple of the Summer Valley and a late Dharma adept, was also a personal disciple of an elder of the Summer Valley.

This elder of the Summer Valley was coincidentally an inner elder of the Lightning Sword Sect.

In the Lightning Sword Sect, if one wanted to become an inner elder, one had to be at the mid Primordial Soul stage at the very least. That was the threshold that the inner elders abided by.

As for those who wanted to enter the Lightning Peak and become an elder of the Lightning Sword Sect, the conditions were even stricter. One had to be at least a late Primordial Soul adept and above.

As for becoming an outer elder, one only had to be at the early Primordial Soul stage to qualify.

In other words, in the Lightning Sword Sect, even the most average and mediocre outer elder was also at the very least within one of the Primordial Soul stages.

”Bai Liqing!”

Zhong Yin floated to where Bai Liqing was in the sky, stabilized himself and stared beadily at Bai Liqing. In a low voice, he asked gravely, ”I, Zhong Ya, have never offended you before, right?

However, you dared to sell fake Thousand-Year Red Wood to me?”

Zhong Ya had used 80 high-quality spirit stones in this exchange only to realize that the Thousand-Year Red Wood was fake; it was no wonder that he was greatly angered by it!

Originally, after he had arrived at the Winter Valley, over a period of time, his anger had already diminished slightly.

However, now that he was face to face with Bai Liqing, his anger was fueled yet again like a flame that was restarted. He raged, and now it was too late to calm him down.

”Zhong Ya, is everyone from the Summer Valley crazy!?” Bai Liqing asked solemnly.

”First, it was that Fang Baiwei who claimed that the Frozen-Blood Jade I sold him was fake... Now, you're here creating trouble and claiming that the Thousand-Year Red Wood I sold you is fake too?

”Are you going to act like Fang Baiwei and mention that you can't provide any evidence for your claims since the Thousand-Year Red Wood has already been in contact with fire and got destroyed?”

At this point, Bai Liqing was extremely frustrated and angered.

After all, Zhong Yin and Fang Baiwei were different.

Other than the fact that Zhong Yin had an inner elder backing him up, Zhong Yin's stage was also higher than his.

”You sold Frozen-Blood Jade to Brother Fang?”

Zhong Yin furrowed his brows.

”Furthermore, Brother Fang mentioned that the Frozen-Blood Jade was fake as well?”

”Hmph!”

Bai Liqing snorted coldly and replied mockingly, ”All you people of the Summer Valley are clearly working together to malign me... You're still acting right now?”

”Bai Liqing.”

Zhong Yin sighed deeply.

”Usually you wouldn't have these items, much less sell it to us... but today, you suddenly managed to present both items? Be it Thousand-Year Red Wood or Frozen-Blood Jade, both are not items that are commonly found!”

At this point, Zhong Yin glanced solemnly at Bai Liqing.

Now, another disciple of the Winter Valley, who was standing nearby, Zhang Weiyuan, overheard the entire conversation and gained a vague understanding of the matter at hand.

He glanced at Bai Liqing and asked, ”Brother, the fortune that you mentioned you gained today was due to the fact that you had sold Thousand-Year Red Wood and Frozen-Blood Jade to Zhong Yin and Fang Baiwei?”

Earlier today, in the afternoon, Bai Liqing had randomly sought him out to borrow 20 high-quality spirit stones and had promised that he would return them by the end of the day.

At that point, Zhang Weiyuan had assumed that Bai Liqing had either borrowed the spirit stone veins to gamble or to sell some items and gain some profit.

Bai Liqing rarely gambled with others, and thus Zhang Weiyuan had assumed the latter to be more probable.

Now, he knew that his assumption was right, seeing as how a disciple of the Summer Valley, Zhong Yin, had appeared.

”Yes,” Bai Liqing affirmed this statement.

”The Thousand-Year Red Wood and Frozen-Blood Jade were both bought from other people?”

Zhang Weiyuan asked again.

”Yes,” Bai Liqing affirmed Zhang Weiyuan's words yet again.

”Who would be silly enough to trade through a dealer? The person who sold them to you could have sold those items to Fang Baiwei and Zhong Yin personally! If he did so directly, he could have earned much more than you did!”

Zhong Yin furrowed his brows in thought. ”Furthermore, the items that they want are rare, and they have been searching for them for a long time. They had even left a possible reward on the bounty list of the trade center for them!”

”Brother Zhang, perhaps that disciple did not view the bounty list and were unaware that people were looking for these items!” Bai Liqing reasoned.

”However, the issue lies in the fact that both Zhong Yin and Fang Baiwei have claimed that the items are fake!” Zhang Weiyuan continued to speak.

”Brother Zhang.”

Bai Liqing's face had changed.

”Do you not believe me either? For those two items, I carried out an authenticity check by myself.

Zhong Yin and Fang Baiwei both carried out authenticity checks personally as well and only passed me the spirit stone veins after ensuring they were satisfied with the products!”

”Brother, I believe you, of course. However, I feel like this is too much of a coincidence!”

Zhang Weiyuan shook his head as he glanced at Zhong Yin.

”Zhong Yin, you better not be fooling around. I hope that this isn't an instance of you teaming up with that Fang Baiwei to cheat Bai Liqing of his spirit stone veins!”

Just as he spoke, Zhong Yin's glance turned hostile.

Although they were both late Dharma adepts, he was not afraid of Zhong Yin. Furthermore, previously, in a showcase of skills by the four valleys, he had managed to defeat Zhong Yin within ten moves despite them being at the same stage.
