Chapter 13162 Bullying an honest person
Soul-breaking Grass, although it is not a rare item in the martial arts world, plants of ordinary years can be found in major businesses and pharmacies. However, when it comes to Soul-breaking Grass that is more than 500 years old, it immediately becomes extremely rare, as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
In the vast area of Zhenmo City, the only other business that can own and sell Soul-Breaking Grass of such a vintage, besides the prestigious Sitong Business, is the Bada Business with a long history.
"Sir, are you sure you need Soul-Breaking Grass that is more than 500 years old?" The woman's words were filled with uncertainty and surprise. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she was confirming the authenticity of the request. Her voice was soft, but it could not hide the shock in it. After all, such a request was not common.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and a hint of impatience flashed in his deep eyes, but more of it was his determination to achieve his goal. "Is it not possible?" Although his tone was light, it revealed an unquestionable strength that made it impossible to ignore his determination.
The woman shook her head and explained, "No, sir, you misunderstood. It's just that this Soul-Breaking Grass that is over 500 years old is extremely expensive because of its rarity.
In the martial arts world, such medicinal herbs are often regarded as priceless treasures. Even our Bada Trading Company needs to pay a huge price to purchase them. As far as I know, such soul-breaking grass requires at least 30 million high-grade spirit stones to be sold..."
Having said this, she paused slightly, her eyes showing both concern about whether Ling Xiao could afford the price and anticipation for the deal to be concluded.
Thirty million high-quality spirit stones is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for most people, enough to make anyone feel awe.
However, Ling Xiao's reaction was beyond her expectations. He simply said, "Go get the goods." His voice was calm and firm, as if thirty million high-grade spirit stones were just a trivial amount to him.
Upon hearing this, the woman couldn't help but secretly marvel at Ling Xiao's financial resources and courage, but she also realized that she might not be able to handle such a large transaction directly.
So, she made a quick decision and said to Ling Xiao with a smile: "Okay, sir, please follow me to the VIP room to rest for a while. I will immediately ask our shopkeeper to come out and talk to you in detail."
After saying that, she lightly led Ling Xiao through the elegantly decorated corridor inside the business and came to a VIP room with luxurious and elegant decoration. The room was filled with exquisite tea sets and flowers, and the air was filled with light incense, making people feel comfortable and noble, just like being at home.
After Ling Xiao sat down in the VIP room, the woman bowed respectfully, then turned and left, walking hurriedly to the back hall to find the shopkeeper. Her heart was full of anticipation and curiosity about what was about to happen, and she secretly prayed that this transaction would go smoothly and bring a considerable income to the business.
Ling Xiao stepped into the VIP room, and scanned every corner of the room with sharp eyes. He immediately noticed the extraordinary nature of this room.
On the four walls, faint runes can be seen flowing, emitting a faint spiritual light. It is obvious that this is a space with an exquisite formation.
He secretly praised in his heart that Bada Commercial Bank was indeed worthy of its reputation. Even the VIP room was so heavily guarded. If there were really any scoundrels who tried to default on their debts and escape here, they would probably trigger the formation immediately and fall into an irretrievable situation.
Soon, the sound of light footsteps broke the silence in the room, and a beautiful woman walked in.
She was about 30 years old, and time seemed to be particularly tolerant to her. Not only did it not leave any traces on her face, but it added a bit of mature charm. Her every move revealed an indescribable charm. Her smile was warm and kind, as if it could instantly bring people closer.
"Sir, do you want Soul-Breaking Grass that is more than five hundred years old?" The beautiful woman walked up to Ling Xiao and asked with a smile, her bright eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes firm, without any extra words, but they were enough to express his determination.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman's smile became even brighter, as if she had foreseen the deal that was about to be made.
"We do have the things, but the price..." She deliberately prolonged her tone, with a sly look in her eyes, obviously testing Ling Xiao's sincerity and financial resources.
Ling Xiao smiled calmly, flicked his finger lightly, and an exquisite storage ring landed steadily in front of the beautiful woman. This storage ring exuded a warm light, and was engraved with complex patterns. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.
The beautiful woman glanced down, her expression suddenly becoming complicated, with both surprise and joy. She quickly put away the storage ring, and her tone became a little more respectful: "Your Excellency is really generous, this... do you want to pick up the goods now, or..."
Ling Xiao answered without hesitation: "The sooner the better!" Although his voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable determination.
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman bowed and saluted, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Dear guest, please wait a moment. I will go and prepare it for you. Don't worry, Bada Commercial Bank will not keep you waiting for long."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but then seemed to remember something. She turned back and gave Ling Xiao a look that was a mixture of gratitude and admiration, and then hurried away, with a bit of eagerness and excitement in her steps, obviously full of anticipation for the big deal that was about to be completed.
Not long after, the beautiful woman walked into the VIP room again. Her steps were brisk and graceful, as if every step was in the spring breeze. She had a gentle smile on her face, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, not too ostentatious, but enough to warm people's hearts.
"Sir, after our careful investigation, our company does have two Soul-Breaking Grasses that are over 500 years old available for selection." The beautiful woman's voice was soft and clear, and every word revealed her professionalism and confidence as the owner of the company.
She paused for a moment, as if observing Ling Xiao's reaction, and then continued, "Since these two Soul-Breaking Grasses are older and more potent, they are priced at 50 million high-grade spirit stones."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's brows involuntarily frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his deep eyes.
He said in a deep voice: "Fifty million? I remember the price mentioned by your maid just now was thirty million. How come, in such a short time, the price has increased by a full twenty million?" His tone revealed some doubt and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously surprised and dissatisfied with such a price change.
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman hurriedly explained, "Please calm down, sir. There is indeed some misunderstanding. Soul-breaking Grass that is over 500 years old is extremely rare in the martial arts world, and its price is naturally high. The maid may not know enough about the market, so she gave a low price."
