The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 2217: Are You Trying to Force a Sale?
Being praised by one’s own woman like this, Carson Flores wasn’t exactly proud, but he was certainly pleased.
Which man wouldn’t want the recognition, or even admiration, of his own woman?
"What should I do now, continue my meditation?"
Selah Ellison Venerable One nodded: "You have gained insights so quickly, on one hand, it’s due to your own capabilities, on the other hand, it may be the efficaciousness of Mingxiang Valley. Since it’s working, keep meditating for a while longer... After all, the Harmony Spring won’t fly away. Even if it’s obtained by Green Bird City, it’s still here in the end."
Carson thought that made sense. If he entered the Secret Realm, there would inevitably be battles and competition; the stronger he is, the higher his chances of success, right?
Sharpening a knife doesn’t delay the chopping of firewood!
Just as Carson was preparing to continue his meditation, a middle-aged man suddenly flashed in and appeared on the platform where Carson had previously been meditating.
The middle-aged man looked about forty years old, tall and thin, with a cold expression and somewhat sinister eyes. His gaze rested on a pile of powder on the platform. He opened his palm, and a pinch of powder drifted onto his palm.
"Moxian Crystal?"
After examining it for a few seconds, the middle-aged man revealed a hint of excitement in his eyes and looked up at Carson: "You’re using Moxian Crystal?"
After Carson absorbed all the Spiritual Energy from the Moxian Crystal, it changed into powder with no Spiritual Energy. Over three months, Carson consumed quite a bit of Moxian Crystal, and naturally, a lot of powder accumulated on the ground.
Carson had just forgotten to clean it up, and now it fell into the middle-aged man’s eyes and had been identified by him.
Carson nodded calmly: "Yes."
The middle-aged man’s gaze suddenly became sharp, scrutinizing Carson: "May I ask which Immortal Sect you come from?"
Carson slightly raised an eyebrow, was he investigating his background?
Carson casually fabricated: "Beihai Qing Shen Sect."
Nico Weaver should have joined Azure Divine Sect by now, and I’m technically his son-in-law, so posing as an Azure Divine Sect disciple shouldn’t be a problem, right?
The middle-aged man smiled: "You have quite a few Moxian Crystals; I’d like to make a deal with you..."
Carson frowned, had he set his sights on my Moxian Crystal?
"You are?"
The middle-aged man arrogantly said: "I am Ethan Roth, a disciple of Haoyang Sect."
Haoyang Sect?
Never heard of it!
It’s not that Haoyang Sect is poor or unknown, it’s just that there are thousands of Immortal Sects in the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, and Carson, being new here, wouldn’t know who you are.
Ethan Roth could tell from Carson’s slightly perplexed expression that he didn’t know his Sect, so his tone cooled: "Haoyang Sect is the strongest Immortal Sect within a hundred thousand miles, and strictly speaking, Mingxiang Valley is also within our Haoyang Sect’s realm."
Carson understood, oh, a local tyrant!
"Understood, I wonder what kind of trade Daoist Chen would like to do?"
Ethan Roth stared into Carson’s eyes: "I will buy your Moxian Crystal with Spirit Stone, you name the price."
Carson smiled and politely declined: "Daoist Chen, I indeed had many Moxian Crystals before, but within three months’ consumption, I’m left with very few now. This deal might not be possible."
Ethan Roth said in a deep voice: "Here is Eastern Radiance, not North Sea. Since you’re on the land of my Haoyang Sect, you have to give me some face, don’t you? How about this, I won’t ask for much, just sell me a hundred pieces of Moxian Crystal; don’t worry, I won’t take them for free, name your price, I’m not lacking Spirit Stones."
You indeed aren’t lacking Spirit Stones, but you lack Moxian Crystals!
Funny thing is, I’m not lacking Spirit Stones either!
What do you mean by giving some face?
This is clearly bullying!
This is my territory, whether you sell or not, you have to sell!
Apparently, Ethan Roth first inquired about Carson’s background; Carson claiming Azure Divine Sect apparently didn’t intimidate him.
I should have claimed Dragon Cloud Mountain.
A sect from North Sea is far; you don’t feel pressured, but aren’t you afraid of Eastern Radiance’s Dragon Cloud Mountain?
That thought only flashed in Carson’s mind. He really didn’t have the face for it, having rejected Floating Cloud; using them now as a shield would be excessive.
Carson chuckled: "Daoist Chen, this might be a bit coercive, Moxian Crystal is scarce for me; it’s not even enough for myself, so how could I sell it? As for Spirit Stones, in fact, I have quite a few. If I could buy Moxian Crystal with Spirit Stones, I’d be willing to purchase some."
Spirit Stone is hard currency, but there are many things in the Immortal Realm that are priceless; items like Moxian Crystal can be used by everyone from Great Land Sovereign to below Immortal, and the lower the strength, the stronger the effect. Whether it’s Loose Cultivators or Sect members, they’d keep them to improve their strength; unless driven by desperation, who would sell?
Ethan Roth sneered: "You say you don’t have much left? Why don’t you let me check your Space Ring?"
Carson calmly replied: "Daoist Chen, that request is going a bit too far!"
Wanting to check someone else’s Space Ring is already close to a humiliating act. Unless trapped in a completely passive position and unable to resist, who would willingly let others examine their Space Ring?
