System's Super Sect-Chapter 457 - 455. Mutual respect? Impossible.

When he saw it, Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds immediately raised a finger!

It represents one thousand White Crystals!

It’s four times the price of a regular One-Vortex Vortex Map.

"Hmm." Wen Ping nodded, acknowledging this price.

Purchasing it cost over two hundred White Crystals, and modifying it cost 10 White Crystals, totaling no more than 300 White Crystals.

With one transaction, a profit of over 700 was directly made.

I have to say, this business is really worthwhile.

If the system didn’t limit the monthly sales quantity, one could get rich by reselling Vortex Maps.

At this moment, Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds took a quick step and opened the door.

"Lu Hai... go get 1000 White Crystals." Such a large amount, Cang Lan, the City Lord of Cloud Sea City, certainly doesn’t carry with him.

"Yes..."

Lu Hai, waiting outside the door, was somewhat confused when called out, instinctively nodded, and hurried towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

As Lu Hai left, Wen Ping immediately handed over the Vortex Map and then turned again, heading out of the inn.

As for the White Crystals, he believed that Lu Hai would deliver them to him.

Moreover, with Big Gui and Little Gui around, he wasn’t afraid of anyone defaulting on payment. These two little guys, though a bit mischievous and indulge in luxury, their effectiveness is undoubtedly valuable.

With the Vortex Map having Artifact Ability in hand, Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds began to gently stroke it, reluctant to put it into his Storage Ring.

Because it means that Cloud Sea City will once again have a Demon-slaying Crossbow capable of breaking through Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm armor.

Enough to compensate for the loss suffered recently when his mount at Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm died at Xuanse Lake.

This also eased much of his disappointment from being rejected when seeking allegiance.

"City Lord of Cloud Sea City, if you need anything, find me at Mu Family Auction House."

Leaving such a remark, Wen Ping strode away.

...

Outside the inn.

An old man with white hair but sharp eyes stood there.

Just standing, one can sense that his aura is completely different from those around him, giving the impression of a naturally-born figure.

Behind him stood four or five people, some young, some old, with clothing somewhat different from the old man’s but not too much, representing they all belonged to one force.

This man was Bai Ruchang of Meteor Lake.

Also a Half-Step Mountain Suppression strong one.

As Lu Hai hastily passed by, someone behind Bai Ruchang hurried up and whispered, "Old Clan Leader, do we really have to keep waiting?"

"Wait."

Bai Ruchang decisively nodded.

"Old Clan Leader, he’s just a Two-Star Vortex Divine Artisan who can only make Two Vortex Maps, why bother?" Those who came with Bai Ruchang did not understand, for Two-Vortex Vortex Artisans were not absent in Meteor Lake, even if they could create a unique Vortex Map, the enhancement was not that much?

It’s not like the unique enhancement is comparable to a Three-star Vortex Map.

A Two-Star Vortex Map is still just a Two-Star Vortex Map.

Bai Ruchang responded indifferently, "What do you know? How many forces are watching this Vortex Map? If I don’t act swiftly, this trip might be for nothing. Next time, think before you speak; don’t use your limited intelligence to view the world. And besides... acting sincerely gives face to the opponent, surely the opponent will also grant me a way."

After speaking, Bai Ruchang glanced at these "children" behind.

Indeed, they have been under protection for too long.

They often go with preconceived notions, without understanding the way of being and dealing.

Vortex Divine Artisans almost all have stubborn tempers, unlike dealing with other forces; if the opponent doesn’t show you face, you won’t show them.

When dealing with Vortex Divine Artisans, one must give full face first for them to give you face.

"Old Clan Leader, I understand now."

The person who came up with the question gave an awkward smile and stepped back.

Silently admiring the old clan leader’s means.

It was then that Wen Ping came out from the inn.

He scanned Bai Ruchang twice, but only lightly so, saying nothing as he boarded the Beast Vehicle.

Bai Ruchang also looked at Wen Ping several times, laughing lightly inside; he didn’t look more than twice at this youthful-looking young man, thinking Wen Ping was just someone from the City Lord’s Mansion or another son of Cang Lan, who else could foster such an arrogant personality as those "children" he brought.

The group of "children" behind him was the same, relying on backing from a large force, never having the basic reverence for strong ones.

"City Lord of the Sea of Clouds!"

Seeing Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds walk out with a smile from the eyes, Bai Ruchang hurried over.

Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds smiled and said, "Clan Leader Bai, long time no see."

"Did the Master say he could meet me?"

It has been an hour; he’s past caring about formalities.

"Sect Leader Wen just left... didn’t you?" Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds hinted, paused, and then reluctantly smiled, "Clan Leader Bai, it’s unfortunate, you’ve just missed Sect Leader Wen. He just left."

"Just left?"

Bai Ruchang was stunned.

Inside, he questioned himself.

No one came out just now.

Just a young-looking lad came out.

Abruptly, he realized something, "That boy who looked only eighteen or nineteen wouldn’t be Sect Leader Wen, would he?"

"Hmm."

Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds nodded.

"I..."

Bai Ruchang was speechless, completely not knowing what to say.

Waited for nothing.

Damn!

"Clan Leader Bai, I won’t keep you; I have to return to the City Lord’s Mansion." Speaking thus, Cang Lan of the Sea of Clouds stepped onto his Beast Vehicle and strode away.

He naturally went to test the Artifact Vortex Map.

Leaving Bai Ruchang, who could only leave helplessly—Wen Ping’s Beast Vehicle had long gone.

"This is not giving face at all."

Bai Ruchang forced a bitter smile.

He hadn’t expected that his approach would be utterly ineffective with this Sect Leader Wen.

He had already given enough face, and yet the other party remained indifferent.

...

On the other side, Wen Ping arrived at the Mu Family Auction House.

At this moment, the Mu Family Auction House was no longer as deserted as before, with people coming and going in an endless stream, its past silence entirely handed over to its competitors.

Posted outside the auction house were items being auctioned tonight.

Wen Ping briefly glanced, and they were all expensive items.

Wen Ping stepped out from the Beast Vehicle, just approaching the auction house when a beautiful maid greeted him from outside.

"Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"

Her gentle voice was very comfortable to the ears.

However, the maid dressed appropriately, not like a seductive, brothel woman.

How to say, it made the auction house appear much more upscale.

"Mu Tian really managed well, not like those auction houses with scantily-clad women soliciting everywhere, making the place seem like a brothel."

Wen Ping couldn’t help but praise softly.

After praising, with one step inside, Wen Ping said to the maid, "Let Mu Tian come to see me."
