Chapter 34: Makeshift Market by the Sea (2/2)

Mo Wuji and Ding Bu'Er joined the crowd and saw a man with an extremely hostile looking face. In front of him, was a big square stone. On that stone, was a clear, transparent glass bottle. In that glass bottle, was a fruit the size of a baby's fist.

The fruit was also crystal clear. In fact, Mo Wuji would have thought it was a crystal if not for the leaf growing on it.

”My friend, your price of 500 thousand gold coins is too outrageous. I am willing to offer you 200 thousand gold coins. That's the highest I can offer you,” A hunch backed man said.

The owner of the Clear Sight Fruit did not say anything, as though he did not hear the offer.

”Why don't you say something,” The hunched back man said in a heavier tone.

The hostile looking man's eyes fell on the hunched back man, ”You took nearly an hour to raise your offer from 150 thousand gold coins to 200 thousand gold coins. You can slowly take more time to increase your offer. Don't ask me to say anything because I will not accept anything less than 500 thousand.”

Back in Dan Han Drug Refinery, Mo Wuji read a lot of books and could be considered rather knowledgeable. However, he had never seen the Clear Sight Fruit before.

The hunched back man sneered, ”The Clear Sight Fruit can be refined into the Clear Sight Pill, and even the Clear Sight Pill itself might only be worth 500 thousand. Eating the fruit alone can also enhance your eyesight, but the effects are a lot lower than the pill. Friend, you need to learn when to be content.”

”I heard that consuming this fruit can allow one to see anything within 100m clearly even on a dark, moonless night,” Ding Bu'Er whispered into Mo Wuji's ear.

Mo Wuji took in a deep breath; the effects of this fruit were so strong? Then this fruit is definitely worth more than 500 thousand gold coins. If he had 500 thousand gold coins, he would not bargain and directly purchase the fruit.

Mo Wuji suddenly remembered that he also had a spiritual ingredient on him - the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Previously, he only gave two to Han Ning, so he had one strain for himself.

However, he did not know the purpose of the Two-leaved Fire Grass and whether it was worth as much as the Clear Sight Fruit.

Something's not right... This fruit was so valuable, why would this hostile looking man be willing to sell it? He's even selling it before reaching the royal capital even though it could be sold for a much higher price there. Most of the people here were simply house attendants, it would be really hard for him to find someone with enough money to buy his fruit.

”I definitely want this fruit, but I don't have that much gold coins on me...” A voice came from afar.

An invisible, powerful force pushed Mo Wuji and Ding Bu'Er directly to the side. A clear path appeared within the crowd and along came a man carrying a sword on his back.

There was a small sword embroidered in gold by the corner of his clothes.

”Sir Immortal, are you from the Ancient Sword Gate?” The hostile looking man suddenly asked in an excited tone.

The man carrying the sword on his back nodded, ”That's right, I'm Fei Kaichang from the Ancient Sword Gate.”

After hearing that sentence, the hostile looking man hurriedly passed the glass bottle over to the man. His voice trembled as he said, ”Junior's name is Yan An. I have long admired the Ancient Sword Gate and I would really like to present Senior Fei with this Clear Sight Fruit. I just hope that...”

Fei Kaichang raised his hand and interrupted Yan An'd words, ”When we reach Chang Luo, I can pass you the gold coins. I don't have that much clout to get you into the Ancient Sword Gate.”

Obviously, he knew what Yan An's intentions were and stopped him in advance.

Yan An hurriedly said, ”Junior doesn't need to be an official disciple. I will be satisfied if I can be an outer disciple or even a service disciple in the Ancient Sword Gate.”

Mo Wuji finally understood. This guy wasn't intending on selling the Clear Sight Fruit. He just wanted to use it as an opportunity to enter a sect. Perhaps he knew that his spiritual roots might not be good enough to get him into a sect during the Spring Immortal's Gate.

What an opportunistic man. Even if it wasn't a disciple from the Ancient Sword Gate but a disciple from another sect, he would say the same thing.

That's not right, what if someone directly offered him the 500 thousand gold coins to buy his fruit?

Fei Kaichang nodded and casually took out a wooden plaque and passed it to Yan An, ”This is my personal plaque. When you reach Chang An, you can directly report to the Ancient Sword Gate service department.”

”Yes, Sir Immortal!' Under the envying gaze of the crowd, Yan An put the wooden plaque away.
