Chapter 431: Bargaining

”I’m called Gong Hou. If it is really as you said, then I won’t leave you disappointed. Tell me your price then.” When Mo Wuji talked about coming out with 80 to 100 thousand blackstones, Gong Hou immediately changed his mind. He sat back down; his tone went calm.
In Half Immortal Domain, it was easy to find someone to replace Hong Fuji. But to find someone like Mo Wuji, it was practically impossible.
Mo Wuji extended his hand, a sizeable rock landed by his side. He also sat down. Since Gong Hou was sitting, he was not accustomed to standing in front of Gong Hou.
When Gong Hou saw that Mo Wuji took the initiative to sit, his eyes gleamed with that sharp light again, but it soon dimmed down. This time, he did not do anything. He wanted to know how many hidden cards Mo Wuji had for him to act so arrogantly.
Mo Wuji said unhurriedly, ”Before the trade, I have some questions to ask Dao Friend Gong.”
”Say it, as long as it is related to the trade, I will be able to answer you.” Gong Hou’s previous agitation was long gone; now he had become calm.
”Alright, the first question I want to ask Dao Friend Gong is, what is the function of blackstone?” After Mo Wuji asked that question, he stared at Gong Hou. He guessed that Gong Hou wouldn’t answer this question, but he still carried that bit of hope.
Gong Hou looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, ”Mo Wuji, you’re a clever man. Ask me some questions that I can answer.”
Mo Wuji did not mind, as he continued to ask, ”The second question is, what is the spirit stone slag? Is it the waste items from immortal mines?”
Gong Hou chuckled, ”I am able to answer this question. Your guess is not wrong. Immortal crystals are the items used in the Immortal World. Immortal crystals would typically be cut and processed to roughly the same size; they could be used for cultivation, as well as transaction. Immortal crystals of different sizes would be cut into the same size; the bits of waste generated are the half immortal stones, or your spirit stone slags.”
Mo Wuji created the meridian cultivation technique, and was a dignified founder. The moment he listened to Gong Hou’s words, he immediately came to an understanding. Even though spirit stone slags contained far more spiritual energy than the stones he had from the cultivator’s world, but because it was merely the waste from the processing of immortal crystals, it did not contain any natural dao halos. He could also confirm, a complete immortal crystal and a processed immortal crystal would have a huge difference on his cultivation, perhaps even a whole grade of difference.
”Many thanks, the third question is, are these spirit stone slags cut from the corners of the lowest grade of immortal crystals? If it is, does that mean that there are immortal crystals of higher grades?” At this instant, Mo Wuji already had a rough plan in his mind.
Gong Hou looked at Mo Wuji and said calmly, ”You’re indeed quite smart, to be able to draw such inferences from one example. You’re right, spirit stone slags are merely the waste from processed low grade immortal crystals. Besides low grade immortal crystals, there’s also intermediate grade immortal crystals, high grade immortal crystals and even top grade immortal crystals.”
It was indeed the case, Mo Wuji clasped his fists to Gong Hou and said, ”Dao Friend Gong, are you able to provide me low or intermediate grade immortal crystals, or even high grade ones?”
When Gong Hou heard Mo Wuji’s words, half of his lips started twitching; he had been thoroughly angered by Mo Wuji. To actually ask for intermediate ot high grade immortal crystals, was this fella crazy?
”Dao Friend Mo, I hope that you can be more rational. Even I haven’t seen a high grade immortal crystal, much less you. As for intermediate grade immortal crystals, I have indeed seen them before, and even had some before, but I only had a few of them. I do have some low grade immortal crystals, but I’m also unable to trade them with you. I can only take out the shredded half immortal stones, nothing more than that. At the most, I could give you a bit of low grade immortal crystals.” Gong Hou’s tone was derisive; he felt that Mo Wuji was really unreasonable.
Mo Wuji did not even have a single fluctuation of emotions, he only extended his palm and said, ”I can give you 5,000 blackstones in a year, how many spirit stone slags is that worth?”
Gong Hou suddenly stood up and stared coldly at Mo Wuji, ”Mo Wuji, do you think that just because you have the Wind Escape Technique, you can make sport of me, Gong Hou?”
Mo Wuji sat without moving, ”Gong Hou, tell me, when have I made sport of you?”
”Just now, you said 10 to 20 thousand, maybe even 80 to 100 thousand blackstones. But now, you’re only giving me 5,000 blackstones a year, you really have guys,” As Gong Hou spoke, he surged with killing intent, causing the surroundings to tremble.
Mo Wuji said derisively, ”Gong Hou, could it be that you want to snatch my blackstones with your higher cultivation? Otherwise, how could you be so shameless, to use spirit stone slags to exchange for my tens of thousands of blackstones? Even though I may only be an Earthly Immortal, I’m not so easily scammed? You know how I got my blackstones? I got it at the expense of woodifying my spirit channels.”
When he heard Mo Wuji say that using shredded immortal crystals to exchange for blackstones was a scam, Gong Hou was instantly enraged. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji said that he could provide tens of thousands of blackstones, Gong Hou would have already attacked.
