Chapter 954: Inverting Black And White

”Mo Wuji, I dare you.” Seeing that Mo Wuji wanted Shuai Guo to harvest the rice, Guang Zhi began to panic.
He intended to chase Mo Wuji away after the enforcement hall arrived, then occupy this plot of land. So that when the people from the major sect came over, he would be able to shine. This was one aspect of it, but more importantly, he had produced a plot of high grade Green Dew Rice, and when the time came, he would be able to reap benefits in both name and profits. He might even get an opportunity to breakthrough Nascent God and enter Heavenly God Stage.
However, Mo Wuji didn't bother with Guang Zhi, instead, he bowed respectfully towards Ying Shushu and co, ”I've planted Green Dew Rice for many years, and this is the first time I've produced high grade Green Dew Rice by chance. I'm not sure about its price, so may I ask senior brothers and sisters to help me estimate a price for it. It'll be enough if you give me some low grade Green Dew Rice when the time comes.”
Upon hearing Mo Wuji's words, joy erupted in Ying Shushu's heart. She was originally worried that Mo Wuji's asking price would be too high and she wouldn't be able to afford it. But now that he put it that way, even if she had to be thick skinned, she wanted to obtain this five catties of Green Dew Rice, hence she quickly replied, ”Dao Friend Mo, if we go according to the market price of high grade Green Dew Rice, I can't afford it. So I hope that you'll look upon me favourably. How about for every catty I'll offer 10,000 high grade god crystals and 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice?”
After finishing her sentence, Ying Shushu's face turned red. One catty of high grade Green Dew Rice for 10,000 high grade god crystals was simply too cheap, but she didn't have more god crystals to give Mo Wuji, thus she could only be thick skinned in her request.
However, it wasn't that the high grade Green Dew Rice was worth more than this. In reality, one catty of high grade Green Dew Rice might not cost more than 10,000 god crystals. But this sort of perishable item was always lacking. If these five catties of Green Dew Rice were put up for auction, it would easily be sold for over 100,000 high grade god crystals.
To thank Mo Wuji for his, Ying Shushu directly called a small character like Mo Wuji 'junior brother'.
When Mo Wuji saw Ying Shushu's expression, he knew that the high grade Green Dew Rice wasn't only worth this much. However, since she could offer this price and still feel a little embarrassed, this obviously meant that she did not have enough god crystals but didn't want to scam him.
He graciously waved his hand and said, ”So let's do things as Senior Sister Ying proposed.”
”Thank you, Junior Brother Mo, if there's anything you need help within the Minor High Firmament Sect, please feel free to ask me.” Hearing that Mo Wuji agreed, Ying Shushu quickly thanked him and passed a ring over at the same time.
Yao Lun, who had been standing at the side, also handed a ring over to Mo Wuji and said, ”Junior Brother Mo, I've benefited from you this time.”
Immediately, Mo Wuji despised Yao Lun. This guy was too petty. This Green Dew Rice was obviously sold at a loss, and even if she said that he could go to look for her when he needed help, could he really approach her? This wasn't a friend worth making.
Zuo Xifeng followed suit, passing a ring to him, and explained, ”Junior Brother Mo, I don't have that many high grade god crystals, so I used some god spiritual herbs to make up for it. Take a look at it, if it isn't enough, I'll get a little less rice.”
Without taking a look at all, Mo Wuji received the ring and replied, ”It's enough, so there.”
”Many thanks, Junior Brother Mo. I can't really help you with much in the Minor High Firmament Sect, but if it was outside, I still have a little brute force on my side.” Zuo Xifeng even bowed while giving his thanks as saw how gracious Mo Wuji was
In response, Mo Wuji nodded. Zuo Xifeng's position in the sect was likely much lower than Yao Lun, but his words were much more tactful than Yao Lun's. Mo Wuji knew why Zuo Xifeng said that he couldn't be of much help in Minor High Firmament Sect, as Guang Zhi was still observing from a distance away. The reason why Yao Lun didn't want to help was probably also due to Guang Zhi.
It seemed like the backer behind Guang Zhi wasn't that small, and Zuo Xifeng also knew that he couldn't afford to offend that person.
On the other hand, Mu Shuang and Jian Ji were still wealthier, as they easily took out 50,000 high grade god crystals and 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice.
While Mu Shuang handed Mo Wuji the ring, she especially gave him a message, ”Guang Zhi's uncle is a deacon of the Minor High Firmament Sect's Enforcement Hall.”
Now Mo Wuji understood everything: why Guang Zhi was just a Nascent God and yet could be a manager in such a profitable area. So he had an influential member of his family.
However, Mo Wuji didn't care, as he didn't do anything wrong. If a deacon of the Enforcement Hall dared to invert black and white in front of a crowd, then Ying Shushu and co. wouldn't have been this courteous towards him. This meant that in the Minor High Firmament Sect, rules were still adhered to.
In a short period of time, Da Huang and Shuai Guo had harvested all of the Green Dew Rice in the plot of land.
After scanning through the ring that Da Huang passed to him, Mo Wuji realised that the amount of Green Dew Rice seeds was as he expected: at least around 150 catties.
He took out 25 catties and split it into 5 bags, giving Ying Shushu and co. one bag each.
They thanked him once again. At this point, Mo Wuji didn't bother with Guang Zhi at all, and Guang Zhi could only look around frantically.
