Chapter 1082 Pick Whatever You Want
Chen Yang looked at the two in front of him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Whether it was True Person Hei Gu or A'an Da from the Si'an Chamber of Commerce.
The reason Chen Yang wanted to interact with them was because neither of these two were simple individuals.
The sphere of influence of the Si'an Chamber of Commerce was limited to Yaogu City, but its business was extremely extensive. They likely possessed more information about the mortal realm than the city lord of Yaogu City.
As for True Person Hei Gu, he had been frequenting Yaogu City for many years.
He knew many very obscure pieces of information within Yaogu City.
Chen Yang had previously been thinking about how to approach these two, but now it seemed that the treasure of the Confucian school was enough to attract them.
Of course, Chen Yang had no intention of selling the Confucian school's calligraphy and painting treasure; it wasn't his in the first place.
Regardless, using the Confucian school's calligraphy and painting treasure as bait was not a problem.
"So, you two are both here for that treasure. However, to obtain this item, I saved a martial artist's life."
"Now, there are probably many people secretly watching me."
"I went to great lengths. I wonder what price you two can offer?"
As soon as Chen Yang said this, both A'an Da and True Person Hei Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Chen Yang had the thought, it was enough.
What they feared most was that Chen Yang had no intention of selling at all.
After all, no matter how they looked at it, Chen Yang didn't seem like someone who lacked spirit stones.
This time, neither A'an Da nor True Person Hei Gu rushed to speak, but instead yielded to each other.
They both didn't know Chen Yang's bottom line, so letting the other party test the waters and keeping a card for themselves was the best option.
Chen Yang looked at the two in front of him, his expression turning cold, and said in a deep voice, "Are you two playing with me?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Min and the others had already stood up, their eyes fixed on the two opposite Chen Yang.
A'an Da gave a dry laugh and spoke first, "Young Master Chen, please don't be angry. If Young Master Chen is truly willing to sell, the Si'an Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy it for one hundred top-grade spirit stones."
When this price was revealed, Chen Yang's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Up to this point, Chen Yang only had a few top-grade spirit stones in his possession.
This Si'an Chamber of Commerce could actually produce top-grade spirit stones.
Wu Min, standing beside Chen Yang, transmitted his thoughts to him: "One hundred top-grade spirit stones is indeed not a low price for an ordinary treasure. However, this Confucian treasure is not an ordinary treasure; it is of great importance to the Confucian school. No amount of spirit stones can make them sell it."
With Wu Min's words, Chen Yang had a general understanding of the treasure's price.
This also indicated that A'an Da, at least, was genuinely interested in buying this item.
Chen Yang did not speak but turned his gaze to True Person Hei Gu.
Seeing Chen Yang's gaze on him, True Person Hei Gu coughed and said, "A'an Da is wealthy and generous, so he can afford one hundred top-grade spirit stones."
"I won't hide it from Young Master Chen, even if I wanted to offer one hundred top-grade spirit stones, I wouldn't have that much."
"However, I can help you get introduced to several other chambers of commerce, and the price will definitely be higher than A'an Da's."
Before Chen Yang could speak, A'an Da rolled his eyes directly. "One hundred top-grade spirit stones, do you think you, a mere branch president, can mobilize them so casually?"
A'an Da's tone was filled with disdain.
The reason was very simple: even for A'an Da himself, producing one hundred top-grade spirit stones was already a difficult feat.
Chen Yang interrupted A'an Da's words, "Since True Person Hei Gu can say this, he must have his own channels."
"I must say, one hundred top-grade spirit stones is indeed not a low price."
A'an Da's face lit up with joy, thinking that Chen Yang was about to agree.
But to his surprise, Chen Yang changed his tune: "However, do I look like someone who lacks one hundred top-grade spirit stones?"
"I know you two are very interested in that treasure, but I'm not interested in spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, A'an Da said in a hurry, "Young Master Chen, whatever you need, just tell me. Our Si'an Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to help Young Master Chen find it."
True Person Hei Gu nodded quickly beside him.
Whether the transaction could be completed was not important; building a good relationship with this Young Master Chen was the most important thing.
Chen Yang did not directly reveal what he needed but chatted with the two about everything under the sun.
After dinner, Chen Yang asked everyone else to rest and then said to the two, "If you two have nothing important to do, why don't you accompany me on a trip?"
This series of actions completely confused A'an Da and True Person Hei Gu.
If Young Master Qian really intended to sell something, why didn't he say so directly?
The price was completely negotiable!
But... Young Master Chen only mentioned it briefly at the beginning and didn't mention it again later.
A'an Da, after all, was the president of a chamber of commerce and had many things to deal with daily. It was already difficult for him to find time to come in person.
Seeing that Chen Yang still wanted to take them out, A'an Da couldn't help but show a bitter smile. "Young Master Chen, it's getting late. The Si'an Chamber of Commerce has another shipment to send out this afternoon, so I won't disturb you further."
Chen Yang grabbed A'an Da's hand and said reluctantly, "Then let's talk again tonight. I'll need to trouble you further with some business matters."
Although A'an Da was very confused about what Young Master Chen wanted, he still nodded in agreement.
After A'an Da left, Chen Yang looked at True Person Hei Gu with a smile. "Since the annoying guy has left, let's talk about our business?"
True Person Hei Gu shivered. Did Chen Yang deliberately drive A'an Da away?
Thinking that he himself had almost wanted to leave just now, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he hadn't spoken.
"Young Master Chen is right. About the treasure?"
Chen Yang chuckled, "A martial artist's treasure is not an important matter. It's just a dead object."
"True Person Hei Gu has been in Yaogu City for so long, and he must have his own methods."
"The business I'm talking about is not difficult. I just want True Person Hei Gu to help me investigate what happened in the mountain range between Wangyou Sea Domain and Yaogu City."
"Why did martial artists suddenly appear?"
"If the matter is handled well, pills, spirit stones, or treasures, you can pick whatever you want!"
True Person Hei Gu's heart stirred. Pick whatever he wanted?
That meant...
"Cough, cough, may I ask a question first? Does Young Master Chen have a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Pill?"
Chen Yang naturally understood that True Person Hei Gu wanted to break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
But he truly did not have a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Pill.
"What you're asking for, even if I had it, I wouldn't trade it. I don't have enough for myself."
