Bloody Profits!

“If you are indeed a master, then the Nine Dragons sect is willing to accept all the conditions you have offered. We also invite you to visit and stay at the Nine Dragons sect.”

He was very generous and instantly gave an extremely tempting empty promise.

Unfortunately, he was facing Qin Huai.

Whoosh!

!!

A silver needle instantly pierced through the gauze curtain and pierced straight into the power stone.

Ding~

The power stone instantly emitted a crisp sound, trembling. It seemed like an ordinary attack, but all the bone pattern realm warriors frowned.

That was because the force on the power stone was affected by this small silver needle. This kind of ability was indeed something that a bejeweled weapon master could do and couldn’t be faked.

A true master!

The old man on the stage couldn’t help but take a deep look at Qin Huai, feeling a little puzzled.

The people of the Fengxing Auction House had been roaming the towns and villages of Lingjiang county all year round. In terms of intelligence, they were even more well-informed than the three major forces.

However, they had never heard of a fourth bejeweled weapon master in Lingjiang. No bejeweled weapon masters from outside of the county came here.

This person… It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. However, the skill level could not be faked.

“Ninety thousand taels. Consider it my sincerity to Grandmaster,” the young man from the Twin Extreme sect said.

“Hehe… Grandmaster, why don’t you come with me to Lingjiang Mei Restaurant next door and have a drink? I’ll give you eighty thousand taels as compensation. I don’t want others to take advantage of me,” Zhang Haoyue joked.

Qin Huai said slowly, “I’m new here, so I’m unfamiliar with the place and people. I just want to forge a bejeweled weapon first. I don’t want to get involved in any power struggles.”

“Hahaha… I admire Grandmaster’s dedication to research.” The young man with the surname Feng seemed to have completely forgotten about the rude words he had said to Qin Huai just now. He appeared very friendly.

“I won’t hide it from you, Grandmaster. I still have a lot of power stones at home that I don’t have a place to put. When Master comes to the county governor’s mansion as a guest in the future, you must try them.”

“One hundred thousand!” the young man surnamed Feng spoke again.

“One hundred and fifty thousand taels.” Zhang Haoyue added fifty thousand taels of silver in a single breath.

If he could win the favor of the only bejeweled weapon master in Lingjiang, it would definitely be worth it. He had always been long-term in his actions and would never be constrained by a little fly’s greed.

Zhang Haoyue’s boldness caused the young man surnamed Feng and the young man from the Bipolar sect to fall silent. After all, there was still the bone stabilizing pill and a very rare artifact, so they all needed large amounts of gold and silver to fight.

“Will Grandmaster be in the prefecture capital these days?” the young man named Feng asked.

“At least until I finish forging this bejeweled weapon, I will be here,” Qin Huai said.

“That’s good. I, Feng Xiaochuan, will take care of all your expenses while you’re in the city!” Feng Xiaochuan was very forthright and planned to take a different path.

“One hundred and fifty thousand taels going once… One hundred and fifty thousand taels going twice… One hundred and fifty thousand taels going thrice… Sold!” the old man announced.

As Qin Huai listened to the three factions’ incessant verbal attacks, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Squeak~

Shortly after, the door of the private room was pushed open.

A maidservant gently placed the power stone beside Qin Huai. “Sir, this is a gift from the young master of the Zhang family from the Nine Dragons sect, Zhang Haoyue. Young Master Zhang said that he hopes you can create a piece of work that will satisfy you.”

Her voice was soft, her figure was curvaceous, and she looked very sweet. Compared to the maidservants beside her, she was obviously of a higher status. Most importantly, her temperament, or rather, her influence was telling Qin Huai that this person was not an ordinary person.

Clearly, the Fengxing Auction House also had their own thoughts about him.

“Please reply to Young Master Zhang, I will definitely accept his good words. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely give you a discount.” Qin Huai smiled.

Then, he touched the power stone beside him. He didn’t spend a single cent to obtain this priceless power stone, and he even ruthlessly cheated the Zhang family.

He wondered how they would react if they knew his true identity.

Qin Huai stood up. He carried the stone and quietly walked out.

Just as Qin Huai reached the staircase, the girl with the soft voice blocked his way.

“Master, are you leaving?”

Qin Huai calmly said, “If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult for me to leave later.”

The soft young girl stared straight at Qin Huai, trying to see through the veil to discern his appearance. “Master, you’re really cautious. No wonder my Fengxing Auction House has never heard of your existence.”

“It’s always right to be cautious when traveling in the martial world. Besides, something happened recently, so I have to be careful.” Qin Huai was neither servile nor overbearing as he answered smoothly.

“Master is considering it. I just ordered someone to ask and found that Master is currently staying in the inn opposite. What a coincidence… Grandmaster can rest assured to stay. In terms of safety, our Fengxing Auction House will also help to prevent Grandmaster from being harassed.”

“In that case, thank you very much!” Qin Huai cupped his fists. Then, he strode out of the Fengxing Auction House.

There weren’t any spies in the surroundings. They should have been driven away by the people from the Fengxing Auction House.

He walked into the inn as usual and returned to his room. He put on two sets of plain clothes in the room and slowly lifted the bed.

Under the bed was a bottomless hole that was as wide as a person. This was Qin Huai’s success from last night.

Qin Huai, who was wrapped in the power stone, jumped into the hole and covered it again with the bed.

He crawled quickly into the darkness. Soon, he would see the light. At the other end of the tunnel was the slums behind Wanli Street.

Qin Huai pushed off the wooden plank that had been placed at the entrance of the tunnel and stuck his head out. When he realized that no one was around, he jumped out abruptly.

He took off the first layer of plain clothes that had been dirtied by the soil, and then burned the black clothes and plain clothes.

“Let’s call it a day.”

Qin Huai tucked the already small power stone into his loose robe. He quietly avoided everyone’s gaze and activated the breath control technique to take advantage of the crowd and walk into the vast sea of people on Wanli Street from the corner of the slums. Then, he swaggered toward the Nine Dragons sect.

As for how Zhang Haoyue and the others would react when they realized that he had already gone to the empty house…

Qin Huai would look forward to it at home.
