Chapter 723: Lure for gain

Afterwards, when the ghost face appeared.

He only introduced his own name and did not give He Song a chance to speak.

So, until this moment.

Guimian still didn't know how to address He Song.

He just knows.

He Song seems to be a guest official of Jubao Pavilion.

As for why He Song came here and what his Buddhist name is, no one knows.

Under such circumstances, when Guimian looked at He Song, he was also signaling He Song to speak and introduce himself.

Without an introduction, the conversation would be completely impossible to carry out.

In response to this, He Song also spoke up readily.

"My name is Xuan Gui, and I am a guest of Jubao Pavilion."

"I came here this time because I have something important to discuss with you. I wonder if you are available now?"

When introducing himself, He Song did not describe his identity or background in detail.

He also did not say that he was not a guest official of Jubao Pavilion in Yanyun Prefecture.

Instead, he generally defined his own identity as a guest official of Jubao Pavilion.

In this case, if the Ghost-faced True Lord did not know about the Jubao Pavilion, the identity that He Song mentioned at this moment was actually quite intimidating.

After all, if He Song is a guest official of Jubao Pavilion in Yanyun Prefecture, then He Song probably has a wide network of contacts in Yanyun Prefecture.

As a Jindan Zhenjun, you will be treated with courtesy wherever you go.

And the Jindan Zhenjun who resides in one place is also a guest official of Jubao Pavilion.

With such an identity, it is extremely normal for him to get acquainted with the people guarding this place and other people from the Jindan family.

Under such circumstances, He Song might even be called a local tyrant.

In the territory of the local tyrant, it is actually quite difficult to say no to this person.

When He Song spoke this time, he not only introduced himself, but also dug a hole, hoping to increase the success rate of his trip.

Afterwards, he said that he had something important to discuss and asked if Guimian was available.

Open your mouth like this.

In addition, He Song came here in person, which gave Guimian enough face.

According to He Song's idea, even if this Ghost Face had no intention of selling the golden elixir in his hand directly before, he would have to think carefully about it now.

However, although He Song thought so in his heart.

But He Song still had no idea what was going on in Ghost Face's heart.

After hearing what He Song said, Guimian's face flashed with a hint of thought.

Soon, Guimian came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at He Song again.

"This fellow Daoist Xuangui, are you here for the cultivator's golden elixir in my hand?"

After he finished speaking, Ghost Face still had a look of doubt on his face.

But he seemed to have already made up his mind about what he was thinking.

Before this, Guimian had been pondering for a long time, but he never felt that he had offended anyone recently.

Or maybe he had encountered something that would make a guest from Jubao Pavilion come to him in person.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Guimian could only focus on the matter of bidding for the cultivator's golden elixir at Jubao Pavilion.

Perhaps, it was because he had previously gone to Jubao Pavilion to bid for the cultivator's golden elixir that he attracted the True Lord Black Turtle in front of him.

And it was precisely because of this thought that flashed through my mind.

Ghost Face said these words when he heard He Song's self-introduction and his words that he was looking for him for something.

After all, according to his idea.

If it weren’t for that cultivator’s golden elixir.

There was no way that he could see True Lord Black Turtle in front of him in this mansion.

A guest of Jubao Pavilion, with the cultivation level of Golden Elixir.

But it won’t be easy to find me.

Therefore, only the cultivator's golden elixir could attract the attention of the True Lord Black Turtle.

However, I don't know why Lord Black Turtle is looking for me at this moment.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Ghost Face remained expressionless. However, when he looked at He Song, there was a hint of inquiry.

But soon, the inquiring look in Ghost Face's eyes faded away.

According to his understanding of Jubao Pavilion.

It is impossible for the people in Jubao Pavilion to do such a thing of robbery.

Therefore, there is no need to be too vigilant.

Perhaps, the Black Turtle True Lord in front of him just wanted to buy this cultivator's golden elixir from him.

He Song had no idea what was in Guimian's mind.

But since Ghost Face has already spoken, he has stated the purpose of his trip.

He Song naturally did not continue to cover it up, but nodded openly.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed very discerning. I admire you."

"I came here this time for the golden elixir in your hand."

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that I am trying to refine a treasure. This cultivator's golden elixir is the most precious thing needed to refine this treasure."

"Although I haven't gathered all the materials yet, I don't plan to try to refine this treasure right away."

“But I happened to hear from Xiaoqing that my friend has such a cultivator’s golden elixir, but I also know that such treasures are hard to come by.”

"That's why I came here specially to bother you, fellow Taoist."

"I wonder if you have any plans to sell this thing?"

"Of course, as people of Jubao Pavilion, we naturally won't do anything like robbing or plundering."

"If it's not possible, just tell me clearly, I won't bother you too much."

"However, if fellow Taoist also has the same intention."

"This move can achieve a win-win situation for both you and me."

"If this is accomplished, you won't have to stay here any longer, and you won't have to worry about being targeted after the subsequent golden elixir is auctioned."

"You can turn around and leave right now."

"According to my guess, if you leave now, no one will care where you go."

"At the same time, if this is accomplished, I can also obtain this cultivator's golden elixir from you, and I don't need to spend time and energy looking for it elsewhere."

“This is a win-win situation.”

"I don't know what it means to be friendly?"

After saying that, He Song looked at the ghost face in front of him with burning eyes.

He Song deliberately did not say the price in his mind.

This is to make myself not appear so anxious.

After all, if He Song revealed his needs in advance, Guimian might use this as an opportunity to raise the price.

At that time, not only will He Song need to pay a greater price to obtain this item.

Moreover, Ghost Face took advantage of him.

He Song definitely doesn't want to see such a thing.

Therefore, he did not say out loud the highest price he had in mind for this cultivator's golden elixir.

At the same time, he did not fully inform Ghost Face of his needs.

According to He Song's idea, even if he couldn't get the golden elixir from Guimian today.

He can also bid for this cultivator's golden elixir at a subsequent auction.

In other words, no matter what the result is today, He Song will not lose money.

At most, you just have to pay a little more and buy this cultivator's golden elixir at the auction.

Therefore, He Song also wanted to take some initiative and did not want the ghost face in front of him to have too much of an upper hand.

but.

Just as He Song was thinking this in his mind and wanted to take some initiative.

After listening to what He Song said, Ghost Face fell into deep silence.

Ghost Face was silent for a long time.

It was so long that He Song couldn't help but wonder whether the ghost face in front of him had died suddenly.

But when he noticed the slightly rising and falling chest of Ghost Face, He Song dispelled his doubts and waited quietly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

After being silent for a while, Ghost Face finally spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed a member of the Jubao Pavilion. I have only seen such eloquence in people from the Jubao Pavilion."

"However, despite what you said, the various benefits of this transaction with you are not attractive to me."

"But since fellow Taoists have come here."

"You can already see your sincerity."

"Daoyou is so sincere."

"It would be really inhumane for me to continue to refuse."

"So, how much are you prepared to bid this time?"

"If the price is right."

"Since you are here, you should take some things with you."

I don’t know what Ghost Face was thinking during this period.

But when the voice came out and reached He Song's ears.

Upon hearing this, He Song looked at the ghost face in front of him with a higher opinion.

Although this ghost mask looks rather cold and fierce, what it says is quite comfortable to listen to.

Judging from the way he praised He Song's eloquence when he first opened his mouth, and his subsequent seemingly reluctant agreement, as well as his subsequent direct questions asking He Song for his price.

Guimian can be described as a person with a delicate mind, and his speech is quite methodical.

However, the price of this cultivator's golden elixir did make He Song frown and think for a moment.

Although Guimian has already promised He Song, if He Song offers a suitable price, Guimian can sell this cultivator's golden elixir directly to him.

However, there is another key point here, which is the price offered by He Song.

If He Song’s price is too low.

Ghost Face will definitely not agree.

And if He Song’s price is too high, it would be better to wait for the subsequent auction.

Therefore, after hearing Guimian's words, although He Song looked up to Guimian, he soon frowned and began to ponder.

According to He Song's idea.

Naturally, the price of this golden elixir should be as low as possible.

However, Guimian had said in advance that he would first look at the price offered by He Song before making a decision.

Therefore, no matter how low the price He Song offered was, it couldn't be too low and must be within the normal range of a cultivator's golden elixir.

However, the price of cultivators' golden elixirs often fluctuates.

Just like how He Song had won the golden elixir of a cultivator twice in Yanyun Prefecture before.

The price of those two cultivators' golden elixirs was not that high.

The first one is 160,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

The second one is 170,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

But according to He Song's understanding, if there were many cultivators competing for it at the auction.

The price of this cultivator's golden elixir will also rise accordingly.

In that case, it would be impossible to obtain a cultivator's golden elixir without more than 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

In other words.

The price offered by He Song must be between 150,000 and over 200,000.

However, He Song was still pondering over the specific price.

He Song didn't think about it for too long.

After the scenes of his previous participation in several auctions flashed through his mind, He Song's heart moved.

According to his understanding, Jubao Pavilion will actually take a commission from the items in this auction.

This ratio is roughly between 5% and 10%.

Of course, this ratio will fluctuate depending on the relationship between the visitor and Jubao Pavilion, as well as the preciousness of the treasures they send.

However, judging from what Guimian said before, it seems that Guimian has no connection with Jubao Pavilion.

In other words, if Guimian were to auction off the cultivator's golden elixir, he would have to pay at least a 5% commission.

And considering the price of a cultivator's golden elixir, even a 5% commission is still quite a lot.

Let’s take the auction price as 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones as an example.

The commission he needs to pay is a full ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

The commission is calculated at five percent.

If the commission rate reaches 10%, the value of these 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones will double.

In other words.

As long as the price offered by He Song is not too outrageous.

So, after calculating these commissions and subsequent risks, Guimian is very likely to agree to He Song.

Think of this.

He Song remained expressionless, but he had already made up his mind.

"Since you are willing to sell this item to me."

"Then I won't offer you a price that's too low."

"Many years ago, before I tried to refine that treasure, a cultivator's golden elixir also appeared here."

"At that time, I was a bystander. Although I did not participate in the incident, I also knew the price of the golden elixir at that time."

"The highest price for that cultivator's golden elixir is 160,000."

"If we take into account the commission from the auction, the seller should have received a little over 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

"Moreover, the seller will eventually have to bear the consequences of being targeted by other Jindan cultivators."

"Let's do the math."

"My coming here will not only help you avoid the risk of being targeted by other cultivators after the auction."

"It can even allow you to avoid the commission from this auction."

"in this way."

"I am offering you 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones today. I wonder if you are willing to part with them?"

He Song slowly expressed his thoughts, staring at the ghost face in front of him with burning eyes.

The price is one hundred and fifty thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

A bit low.

But, for He Song.

It was absolutely impossible for him to tell the bottom price in his mind at the very beginning.

In He Song's mind, the most he could offer for this cultivator's golden elixir was two hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

This price was slightly higher than the price he had paid for the two cultivator's golden elixirs previously.

But it’s not actually unacceptable.

As for the gap between the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones he mentioned and the 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones that were the bottom line in his heart.

Then both parties need to pull each other and finally agree on a price that satisfies both parties.
