Chapter 1699 There is a condition

"What do you want, sir?"

Xi Kang frowned. Since he couldn't see through Lu Li's cultivation at a glance, the man in front of him must be at least at the same level as himself, or he must have practiced some secret method. He couldn't help but be alert.

"I heard that you are looking for ghost fruit." While speaking, Lu Li glanced at the room behind Xi Kang, but did not see the figure of the young man Jin Peng.

"You have ghost fruit!"

Xi Kang was delighted when he heard this. Although he was just an external protector, he only needed to protect Jin Peng from death. If he could help Jin Peng find the ghost fruit, he would definitely be rewarded.

"Is it inappropriate to talk here?" Lu Li smiled.

"Uh, fellow Taoist, please come in." Xi Kang's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and invited Lu Li to come in.

Lu Li walked in without hesitation, his hands behind his back. He glanced around the room while walking, then sat down at the table. When Xi Kang sat down, he said, "I heard that you are the protector of the young master of the Jin family?"

"That's true, fellow Taoist, let's talk about the ghost fruit." Xi Kang nodded in agreement, but he didn't seem to want to dwell on this issue, and immediately changed the subject.

Then he continued, "You should understand that the price offered by the Jin family is already quite considerable. If you really have ghost fruit, now is definitely the best time to make a move."

"Of course, if you have any other requirements, you can also mention it. As long as there is stock, everything can be negotiated."

There are not many local earth immortals in Nanhuang Immortal Realm, and Lu Li is unfamiliar with him. He guessed that Lu Li is most likely from other immortal realms.

After all, the first heaven is vast and boundless, and there are countless immortal realms of all sizes. Some people like to wander around in various immortal realms, so it is not strange to see some strange strongmen.

"Oh? Then, please help me solve my doubts and tell me why the Jin family wants to buy the ghost fruit. I am very curious about this matter." Lu Li raised his eyelids and said curiously.

"Your Excellency's question is a bit too much." Xi Kang frowned, slightly unhappy.

"Hehe, didn't you say that any conditions can be negotiated?" Lu Li smiled lightly and was not angry.

"The conditions I mentioned refer to the price. You must understand that this is a very taboo question, right?" Xi Kang said coldly, thinking that Lu Li was too ignorant. How could such a question be asked casually?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xi Kang finished speaking, Lu Li stood up and bowed slightly, "Okay, in that case, I'll take my leave."

"Wait a minute, Daoist friend!"

Xi Kang didn't expect Lu Li to be so difficult to talk to. Seeing that Lu Li left without any hesitation, his face changed slightly and he stood up in a hurry: "Daoist friend, do you really have ghost fruit?"

"Maybe, maybe not, the key is to see what decision you make, Daoist friend Xi." Lu Li looked at Xi Kang with a smile.

"Daoist friend, you are really stubborn."

Xi Kang shook his head speechlessly and sighed, "I can't make the decision on this matter, Daoist friend, why don't you wait a moment, let me ask Mr. Jin to come and discuss it with you?"

"Daoist friend Xi, please." Lu Li said, and sat down again.

"Hey!"

Xi Kang rubbed his forehead with a headache, got up and walked outside.

Lu Li tapped the table and waited quietly. He did so naturally to test the bottom line of the Jin family to determine whether the ghost fruit was really as helpful to Jin Peng as he guessed, so as to wait for the price.

But unfortunately, Xi Kang seemed unable to be the master of the Jin family, so he could only talk to the young master of the Jin family.

After a while, Xi Kang came back, but to Lu Li's surprise, there was no one behind Xi Kang, and he couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Xi Kang.

Xi Kang smiled apologetically and sat down opposite Lu Li, "Young Master Jin Peng is practicing and will come from time to time. Please wait for a while."

Suddenly thinking of something, he said, "By the way, Young Master Jin rarely goes out on weekdays, so his character is a bit hard. If there is any offense in the words later, I hope you don't take it to heart..."

To put it bluntly, he has never seen the world, has a bad heart, and is used to being self-righteous.

If this situation happened in Linyuan City, it wouldn't be a big problem. With the reputation of the Jin family, few people would not give face to the Jin family. But this is the ancient forbidden fairyland. If some casual cultivators are pissed off, they may not give face to the Jin family. So Xi Kang had to apologize first and give Lu Li a shot of prevention.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I'm here to negotiate a deal, not to pick a fight..." Lu Li said with a smile. To be honest, he has never seen a few arrogant people like Jin Peng since he started practicing.

And in Lu Li's opinion, calling him arrogant is already a compliment to Jin Peng. It might be more appropriate to call him "idiot" directly, because which normal person would offend someone who is not an enemy for no reason and draw hatred for himself in vain.

Just as the two were talking, Jin Peng finally came over.

Wearing white clothes, he walked with his hands behind his back and his head tilted high as if he wanted others to count his nose hairs, which made Lu Li speechless.

I don't know what he was doing before. At this moment, his childish face was still blushing, and there were some beads of sweat on his brows, as if he had just done some intense exercise.

"Are you going to trade with me?" When he came to two feet away from the table, Jin Peng finally lowered his proud head and looked at Lu Li coldly and asked.

"Sir, this fellow Taoist is a strong man from another fairyland, and he came to you to discuss the matter of the ghost fruit..." Xi Kang frowned secretly, and hurriedly stood up to remind the man in front of him that he was not simple.

Lu Li smiled, "How about sitting down and talking, little friend Jin Peng?"

Jin Peng sat down expressionlessly, "I don't have much time, take out the ghost fruit and let me see it."

From his tone, it seems that being able to come here is already a great honor for Lu Li.

It's no wonder that Jin Peng would be like this. Although he is more than 800 years old now, he actually spends most of his time on cultivation.

Whenever he comes out of retreat, he is surrounded by the stars and is surrounded by family members. It's like the stars are the moon, and he feels that the world is revolving around him. After a long time, he naturally gets used to looking down on everything.

More importantly, his Jin family has a backer with a transcendent status, who can help him settle even if he has done something too much.

Lu Li shook his head, "Let's talk about the price first."

"Price? Isn't it clearly written on the reward notice? Five thousand low-grade immortal stones, are you dissatisfied?" Jin Peng frowned.

"Five thousand immortal stones are indeed not a small amount, but I have another condition." Lu Li tapped the table and said.

"What a trouble, what is the condition, tell me quickly!" Jin Peng said impatiently.

"Okay, fellow Daoist Jin is quick to speak, then I will speak directly! I can sell you the ghost fruit, but you must tell me what you will use it for."

After Lu Li finished speaking, he looked at Jin Peng indifferently and said no more.
